第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分 50 分）
第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
At the start of the 20th century, an American engineer named John Elfreth Watkins made
predictions about life today. His predictions about slowing population growth, mobile phones and
increasing height were close to the mark. But he was wrong in one prediction: that everybody would
walk 10 miles a day.
Today, in Australia, most children on average fall 2, 000 steps short of the physical activity they
need to avoid being overweight. In the early 1970s, 40 per cent of children walked to school, while in
2010, it was as low as 15 per cent.
The decline is not because we have all become lazy. Families are pressed for time, many with both
parents working to pay for their house, often working hours not of their choosing, living in car-
dependent neighborhoods with limited public transport.
The other side of the coin is equally a deprivation: for health and well-being, as well as lost
opportunities for children to get to know their local surroundings. And for parents there are lost
opportunities to walk and talk with their young scholar about their day.
Most parents will have eagerly asked their child about their day, only to meet with a “good” ,
quickly followed by “I’m hungry”. This is also my experience as a mother. But somewhere over the
daily walk more about my son's day comes out. I hear him making sense of friendship and its limits.
This is the unexpected and rare parental opportunity to hear more.
Many primary schools support walking school-bus routes, with days of regular, parent-
accompanied walks. Doing just one of these a few times a week is better than nothing. It can be tough
to begin and takes a little planning-running shoes by the front door, lunches made the night before,
umbrellas on rainy days and hats on hot ones-but it's certainly worth trying.
21. Why does the author mention Watkins' predictions in the first paragraph?
A. To make comparisons. B．To introduce the topic.
C．To support her argument. D．To provide examples.
22. What has caused the decrease in Australian children's physical activity?
A. Plain laziness. B．Health problems.
C．Lack of time. D．Security concerns.
23．Why does the author find walking with her son worthwhile?
A．She can get relaxed after work. B．She can keep physically fit.
C．She can help with her son's study. D．She can know her son better.
B
There is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the
shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother
and a daughter is sometimes confusing. The relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the
mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These
characteristics include a hierarchy （等级） of responsibilities and unconditional love, which
preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.
Marina, 27 years old, said, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my
best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried
you in their body and gave you life! Best friend: don’t tell you how wise they are because they have
been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter
relationship can’t be very close and satisfying.
While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This
generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common, which increases the likelihood of
shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being
homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today
contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology,
which may bring them even closer together.
Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and
daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. The
mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters
should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply
about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well-being.
The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other.
Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and
often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mothers always “trump （胜过）” friends.
24. What does the underlined word “preclude” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Differ. B．Prevent.
C．Benefit. D．Change.
25. What do we know from the text?
A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.
B．A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.
C．The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.
D．Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.
26. How does the author mainly prove his statements?
A. By listing data. B．By giving explanations.
C．By quoting sayings. D．By making comparisons.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. How to Be a Good Mother and Daughter?
B. Who Is a Mother’s Best Friend?
C. Mothers or Friends?
D. Can a Mother Be a Daughter’s Best Friend?
C
Skin: The Body's Canvas
If you could take off your skin and lay it flat, it would cover an area of about 1.9 square meters.
Skin is, by far, the body's largest organ. Covering almost the entire body, skin protects us from a
variety of external forces. For example, it protects us from extremes of temperature, damaging
sunlight, harmful chemicals, and dangerous infections. Skin is also packed with nerves, which keeps
the brain in touch with the outside world. The health of our skin and its ability to perform its protective
functions are crucial to our well-being. However, the appearance of our skin is equally - if not more -
important to many people on this planet.
Take skin color, for example. Your genes determine your skin's color, but for centuries, humans
have tried to lighten or darken their skin in an attempt to be more attractive. In the 1800s, white skin
was desirable for many Europeans. Skin this color meant that its owner was a member of the upper
class and did not have to work in the sun. Among darker-skinned people in some parts of the world,
products used to lighten skin are still popular today. During the 20th century, attitudes toward light
skin shifted in the opposite direction in other cultures, as cities grew and work moved indoors. Tanned
skin began to indicate leisure time and health. In many places today, tanning on the beach or in a salon
remains popular, even though people are more aware of the dangers of UV rays.
Identity and Status
Just as people have altered their skin's color to denote wealth and beauty, so too have cultures
around the globe marked their skin to indicate cultural identity or community status. Tattooing, for
example, has been carried out for thousands of years. Leaders in places including ancient Egypt,
Britain, and Peru wore tattoos to mark their status, or their bravery. Today, among the Maori people of
