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
Unlike most other holidays, the history of April Fool's Day, sometimes called All Fools' Day, is not totally clear. Some historians speculate（猜测）that this tradition began in 1564 in France. Before that year, the New Year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on 25 March. The celebration reached the highest point on 1 April. With the reform of the calendar under Charles Ⅸ, a new calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved to 1 January.
However, because at that time communications were not as developed as they are today, many people did not receive the news for several years. Some people refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the New Year on 1 April and they were considered "fools" by other people. They were often sent on "fools" assignment or were played tricks on.
Over time this developed into a tradition of playing a trick on someone on 1 April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the 18th century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both Britain and France. April Fool's Day thus developed into an international fun feast.
21. When did the New Year celebration in France reach the highest point before 1564
A. On 25 March. B. On 1 January. C. On 1 April. D. On 3 April.
22. What was people's attitude towards the new calendar
A. They accepted it happily. B. They refused it immediately.
C. Some laughed at it. D. Some accepted it.
23. What is the passage mainly about
A. What the French did on April Fool's Day. B. How April Fool's Day came into being.
C. When the new calendar was introduced. D. Why some people were fooled in France.
B
The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he/she might say, "It's a little damp（潮湿的）outside." Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, "He/She isn't exactly friendly." Understatement is often used in an unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to everyday life. They also like to make jokes about other people. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What's more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humour. Mr Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in the late 20th century.
Mr Bean doesn't talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.
24. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes
A. The British often enlarge the fact.
B. British jokes are connected with many different cultures.
C. The British try to make out that something is less important or serious than it is.
D. British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.
25. How does the author explain understatement
A. By using examples. B. By making comparisons.
C. By following time order. D. By describing a process.
26. How does Mr Bean make people laugh
A. By telling funny stories.
B. By making jokes about others' accents.
C. By copying how others behave.
D. By using his body movements and facial expressions.
27. What can be the best title for the passage
A. British humour in comedy B. Humour in different cultures
C. Developing your sense of humour D. Understanding British humour
C
Not all think laughter is the best medicine, but it seems to help. So scientists carried out a study of diabetic（患糖尿病的）patients who were given a good dose of humor for a year to prove it.
Researchers divided 20 high-risk diabetic patients into two groups. Both groups were given standard diabetes medicine. Group L viewed 30 minutes of humor of their choice, while Group C, the control group（对照组）, did not. This went on for a year of treatments.
By two months into the study, the patients in the laughter group had a lower level of the hormone adrenalin（肾上腺素）, considered to cause stress, which is known to be deadly. After 12 months, HDL cholesterol rose by 26 percent in Group L but only 3 percent in Group C. In another measure, C-reactive proteins, a maker of heart disease, dropped by 66 percent in the laughter group but only 26 percent in the control group.
“The best doctors believe that there is physical good brought about by the positive emotion, happy laughter,” said study leader Lee Berk of Loma Linda University. “And other research has found that humor makes us more hopeful. Still, more study is needed,” Berk said. The research by Berk found that humor can bring about similar changes in body chemistry, which was proved in the new study. Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine shows that laughter causes the inner lining of blood vessels to expand, increasing blood flow in a way thought to be healthy.
“Lifestyle choices have an important effect on health and these are choices which we and patients should pay attention to, rather than prevention and treatment,” Berk said in a statement.
28. Why did the scientists carry out the study
A. They wanted to find out if laughter was good to health.
B. They tried to discover the best medicine to cure diabetes.
C. The number of diabetic patients is the largest in the world.
D. Diabetic patients need more laughter than other patients.
29. What happened after 12 months according to the study
A. C-reactive proteins increased by 66 percent in Group
B. The level of the hormone adrenalin stayed the same in both groups.
C. HDL cholesterol had dropped in both groups.
D. C-reactive proteins were reduced by 66 percent in Group L.
30. What could the underlined words “HDL cholesterol” in Paragraph 3 most probably refer to
A. Something bad to our health. B. Something good to our health.
C. A kind of wonderful medicine. D. A kind of dangerous disease.
31. In what way does laughter benefit people's health
A. It makes blood thick. B. It makes blood vessels thin.
C. It makes blood pressure increase. D. It makes blood flow fast.
D
Why we cry with happiness shows: responding with a negative reaction helps us deal with extreme joy. If you cry with happiness at weddings, you are responding to a happy experience with a negative reaction. The researchers believe the unusual reaction may help renew emotional balance in us and keep extreme emotions under control. The findings make it clear how people express and control their emotions, which could help improve their understanding of people's mental health.
Psychologist Oriana Aragon set out to explore the phrase "tears of joy", which she said never made sense to her. But after studying a series of incongruous（不协调的）expressions, she now understands better why people cry when they are happy. "People may be renewing emotional balance with these expressions," she explained. "They seem to take place when people are struck by strong positive emotions. People, who do this, seem to recover better from those strong emotions."
The report shows various examples of responding to a positive experience with a negative emotion, such as a crying wife seeing the husband returning from the war again, and teenage girls screaming at a concert. Examples also include a baseball player who hits a home run, only to be slapped（拍）on the back by teammates, as well as when people cannot help kissing babies who they consider lovely.
Aragón and her team discovered that people, who expressed negative reactions to positive news, were able to moderate（使和缓）strong emotions more quickly. There is also some evidence that strong negative feelings may provoke positive expressions. For example, nervous laughter often happens when people are faced with a hard situation. We've seen people smiling during times of extreme sadness.
“The findings affect our knowledge of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well people work together,” said Aragón.
32. What might an extremely happy person do to moderate the strong emotions according to the passage
A. Jump with joy. B. Keep silent.
C. Calm down as usual. D. Burst into tears.
33. What can people do by responding to happiness with a negative reaction
A. Hide the true feelings under a mask of politeness.
B. Renew emotional balance and control strong emotions.
C. Show off their rich emotions now and then.
D. Express themselves carefully in a special way.
34. What does the underlined word “provoke” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Lead to. B. Hold back. C. Take in. D. Get over.
35. What can we learn from the passage
A. It's common to express negative reactions to positive feelings.
B. When people cry, it means they are very happy.
C. Expressing and controlling emotions is important for humans.
D. There are differences between positive and negative emotions.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
What's the best way to experience America I advise one step at a time. And that's exactly what I set out to do in 2004 when I tried to visit all the 50 states and run a marathon in each of them while staying there.
On a warm day in September, I decided to begin my trip of running 50 marathons, in 50 states, in 50 days with the Lewis & Clark Marathon in St. Charles, Missouri. It seemed like a fitting place to begin, because it was the 200th anniversary of the Lewis and Clark Expedition（探险队）.
After visiting Missouri, my plan was to head west across the country, stopping in each state to visit, explore and run a marathon. As you might imagine, the preparations, including the schedules and research, were every bit as challenging as the running itself. Due to the embarrassing timing of different marathons across the nation, we weren't always able to follow a straight line from one state to the next. Instead, we could only travel across the country in a complex（复杂的）web. But that was what made the travel so interesting.
Besides the complex web of travel, the presence of my family made my trip more meaningful. My wife, a dentist, had changed her schedule to join me, and our two children Alexandria and Nicholas would be taking 50 days off school, so they wanted to travel with us. My mom, a retired school teacher, would also be part of the team. My father also came along. Well, we're from Greece, where if one family member goes, the others will follow. All of them supported my expedition.
It might be easy to conclude that seeing the country so quickly would lead to an unclear impression, but just the opposite was true. I remember every single state and every detail on the expedition very clearly, even on this very day, more than a decade later.
注意：
续写词数应为150左右。

One possible version:
Power of smile
As time goes by, people are getting busier and busier with work, often forgetting their most powerful skill — smile.
There are a great many kinds of power of smile. First of all, common touch can be shown by a kind smile. With a confident smile, you are more likely to answer the questions better. Furthermore, smile can help relieve stress, which is good for our health. So, smile a lot when you are suffering from stress. What's more, smile can reflect the calm of a person when they are in danger or in trouble.
In my view, smile is magical. It can help overcome difficulties you meet on the way to success.

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
After we made careful preparations, my expedition plan finally began. After the marathon in St. Charles, we drove from Missouri to Colorado. Along the highway the wetness dropped lower and lower. We flying to Alaska, the changes became more serious. We were caught in an early snowstorm, which was challenging for our expedition. Thanks to the help from the outdoor clothing company, we had plenty of warm clothing. But we didn’t need it for long, because the next day we found ourselves in the hot area of Hawaii.
Paragraph 2:
My good physical quality was shown in the expedition. Apart from the daily marathon routine, I also enjoyed meeting the great people, through whom I could experience different cultures. Although I felt tired after every marathon, I never thought about giving up. However, the true reason wasn’t that I was healthy and strong, but that I gained the support from all my family members. With their expectations, I finished the 50 marathons in 50 states successfully.
