第二部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。

Volleyball has become a worldwide sport that is popular with all age groups, but when did this

fun sport start? The history of volleyball dates back to 1895 when William G．Morgan met a Canadian James Naismith, inventor of basketball and was influenced by him and basketball．Then he wanted to invent a new game that was fit for middle-aged men．

Morgan enjoyed the game of basketball, but soon he realized that it was too fast paced for some

of the older men．So, he decided to invent a game that was still played on a court, but the players were not required to run up and down—he created the game of “mintonette(小网子).” Volleyball history shows that the original game of mintonette was played on a full court with a net in the middle．Two teams tossed（抛）the ball back and forth over the net, similar to the game of badminton．In order to cut down the equipment costs, the players played the ball with their hands．

The game quickly became popular, and everyone wanted to learn how to play volleyball．It

quickly spread to other areas, across the United States, and even to other countries．Several changes were made to the game．

Then specific volleyball rules were set into place．Some of the rules of volleyball included the

court size, number of players, and number of hits per team．The rules also stated that players must rotate（轮换） around the court so that everyone had a turn to serve the ball．Also, a standard volleyball size and shape were decided within a few years．The rules continued to change and adjust throughout the history of volleyball, until the game became what we have today．

Even though volleyball history says that the game was originally created for middle-aged men,

the game has become so popular among all kinds of people．Today there are many different kinds of competitive volleyball teams: high school volleyball, college volleyball, women volleyball, men, children, mixed teams, etc．There is an endless amount of possibilities with this game because it is easy to learn, many people can play together, and it can be played indoors or outside．

I parked outside the grocery store that weekend, still tired after another stressful week of work.

I’m an accountant, and it was the middle of busy season, which meant tight deadlines and crazy hours.

A long weekend was coming up, and a friend suggested that I relax at a nearby woman recover center. I moved through the passageway with my shopping cart, hurrying to beat out a few others who were heading for the already long checkout line. It took me more than an hour to finish the shopping.

When I got back to my car, groceries in hand, I found a note on my car. In beautiful handwriting

and blue ink, the writer explained that her car had scraped（刮擦）my Honda Civic when she pulled into the space next to mine. “I’m sorry!” she wrote, and added her insurance policy（保险单）number and cell phone number. At the bottom, she signed her name, Elyse.

What an honest person！I was quite surprised. Few people act like that nowadays. Most people There’s no way she’ll pay this much, I thought. I picked up that note with the beautiful blue script and dialed the number, ready for an argument.

“Hello?” Elyse answered cheerily. “Hi, you left a note on my car?” I began. But even when she

heard how much the bill was going to be, Elyse still sounded just like she had in her note, so friendly—and calm. How was it possible for her to be like that? I wondered. Believe it or not, I got the money for the repair.

When the busy period at work finally passed, I decided to go to the recover center that my friend

had suggested. I had my doubts if it would help, but it couldn’t hurt, right?

Checking in at the front desk, I looked through the guest book, looking for a blank spot to write

my name. Finally, I reached the last page. There, at the top, in the same perfect handwriting that she had used in her note to me, was Elyse’s name.

41. The author got her car scraped when she was _______.

A. parking her car outside the grocery store

B. doing some shopping in the grocery store

C. was driving to the grocery store

D. on her way to the woman recover center

42. From the passage we learn that ________.

A. Elyse is a woman who is difficult to deal with

B. anyone who scrapes others’ car should write down his name and address

C. the grocery store where the author did shopping was not busy

D. the author didn’t expect Elyse could pay for the repair voluntarily

43. Which of the following description about the author is correct?

A. She is an accountant and usually very busy.

B. She is always too busy to make any friends.

C. She is quite selfless and likes helping others.

D. She is poor and always trying to get money from others.

44. Which of the following word can replace the underlined word “estimate” in Paragraph 3?

A. A fixed amount. B. A repair price. C. A guessed amount. D. An exact price.

45. From the end of the story we may infer that _________.

There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own

concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.

For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is

considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who takes care of his sheep,

enjoys his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own goals of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one’s goals at too low a level of achievement.

A wise professor once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own

professional success: “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park, or riding the subway downtown,” The professor added, “You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like, and to which you have given your best effort.”

46. In the first paragraph, the author implies that _________ are essential in achieving

success .

A. goals and determination B. goals and environment

C. ability and goals D. ability and environment

47. Some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because _________.

A. their goals are too low

B. they do not live in peace like poor people.

C. they are not rich enough by their own standards

D. their life is miserable

48. Which one of the following statements is Not True?

A. Not all the rich people are considering themselves successful.

B. A shepherd is someone who takes care of sheep

C. Living a simple life and enjoying peace is for some people a success.

D. Only the person who achieves great goals can be regarded as a successful man.

49. The last paragraph implies that _________.

A. success means trying one’s best at what one really likes

B. success means achieving great goals in order to make greater contributions

C. we should have high goals for we should achieve as much as possible

D. success means taking a walk in the park so that people can relax themselves

50. This passage mainly talks about _________.

A. how to set their goals B. how to achieve success

C. the definition of success D. the importance of goals

第一节: 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

When we were growing up in our grandparents’ home, Jack, my grandfather, was always in his room sitting in the chair and listening to the radio. The voices speaking from the metal boxes day and night, taught us that there was a larger world outside, a world we didn’t have access to but our grandfather did.

He would roll the black dial(调节盘) back and forth until the signal was clear. Then he would listen. He would come in when he wanted to and leave when he was no longer interested.

Now he is old. One day I went to visit him, and he said to me. “I dislike the Internet. We’re losing primary contact with each other because of it. No more rubbing shoulders. No more shaking hands. Everyone is so busy. We want too much and in the process of getting it we miss so much. ” He stopped for a while. “It makes me lonely and sad.” Then he looked at me. “I just want to hear your voices.”

I thought of all the voices on the radio he had spent a lifetime listening to. I asked, “How did you become interested in the radio?” “I don’t know,” he said. “It was another way to reach people. I was always interested in finding a better signal, a cleaner, more powerful signal that could communicate with someone somewhere.”

“And I’ll tell you another thing: you can electronically(用电子方法) all man-made noise on the air, but you can’t get rid of natural noise caused by thunder and lighting, rainstorms, or snowstorms. ”

He closed his eyes and smiled. “I was just thinking that in spite of all our technologies, maybe we haven’t progressed that far as human beings. We shouldn’t forget we still have the same basic needs. Sometimes I wonder if we have developed at all.”

66. What did Jack use to do？（No more than 12 words）

67. Why did Jack roll the black dial back and forth? （No more than 6 words）
