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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Howoften one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again! Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in their useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities for them to makea living.
If a child has good pare nts, he is well fed, looked after and loved, whatever he
may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without hav ing to do anything in retur n. What's more, life is always givi ng new things to the child —things that have lost
their in terest for older people because they are too commonfor them. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not to do someth ing, or being puni shed for what he has wron gly done.
When a young man starts to earn his own livi ng, he can no Ion ger expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spe nds most of his time play ing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hun gry. And if he breaks the laws of society just as he used to break the rules of his pare nts, he may go to pris on. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happ in ess of buildi ng up for himself his own positi on in society.
54. Accord ing to paragraph 2, the writer thinks that ____________ .
A. life for a child is fairly easy
B. only children are interested
in life
C. a child is always loved whatever he does
D. if much is give n to a child, he must do someth ing to pay back
55. A young man __________ if he expects to live in the way he wan ts.
A. should lose his heart to his work
B. should try to keep out of trouble
C. should spe nd most of his time enjoying himself
D. should build up his own positi on in society for himself
56. The main idea of the passage is that _____________ .
A. childre n's time is the most enjoyable in on e's life
B. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains
C. young men can have the greatest happ in ess if they work hard
D. one can enjoy what each age gives him though there are some pains
B
The miracle bridge
The Brookl yn Bridge that crosses the river betwee n Man hatta n and Brookl yn is simply an engineering miracle. In 1883, a creative engineer, John Roebling, was in spired by an idea for this spectacular ( 蔚为奇观的)bridge project. However,
bridge-build ing experts told him to forget it. It just was not possible. Roebli ng convinced (persuade sb. to do sth. ) his son, Washington, an up-and-coming engineer, that the bridge could be built. The two of them formed an idea of how it could be finished successfully and how to overcome the difficulties. Somehow, they persuaded ban kers to provide money for the project. Then, with great exciteme nt and en ergy, they hired their crew and bega n to build their dream bridge.
The project was only a few months_ under_ way when a tragic on-site accident killed John Roebling and severely injured his son. Washington was severely brain-damaged, un able to talk or walk. Every one thought the project would have to be throw n away, since the Roeblings were the only ones who understood how the bridge could be built.
Though Wash ington Roebli ng was un able to move or talk, his mind was as sharp as
ever. One day as he lay in his hospital bed, an idea flashed in his mind as to how to develop a communication code. All he could move was one finger, so he touched the arm of his wife with that finger. He tapped out the code to communicate to her what she was to tell the engineers who continued building the bridge. For 13 years, Washington tapped out his instructions with one finger until the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge was finally completed. 57. This spectacular bridge project
A. was designed well by a certain engineer
B. was going on
C. was a dream of an idea that was workable
D. was argued heatedly by the bridge-building experts
58. What 'sthe meaning of A. A way being repaired C. Under design
C
Many expensive nutrition additives （ 添加剂 ） advertised on TV say they can improve your
memory. But only ordinary food and healthy habits have been shown to work.
A research team from UCLA （University of California at Los Angeles ） has designed a four-step plan to improve your memory in just 14 days.
"It sounds like another advertisement, but it really works," says UCLA psychiatry （ 精神病学 ） professor Gary Small.
The team found the four-step plan improved memory function （ 功能 ） in teenagers under stress and older people. After a two-week study that included brain-teasers （ 脑筋急转弯 ）, exercise and diet changes, test subjects' memories worked more efficiently.
Here's the programme:
Memory training: Train yourself with brain-teasers, crossword puzzles and memory exercises that train verbal （
文字上的 ） skills throughout the day.
Healthy diet: Eat five rather than three meals a day. The food should be rich in omega-3 fats （omega-3 脂肪 ）, such as whole grains and vegetables that contain antioxidants （ 抗氧化剂 ）. Having frequent meals helps increase blood glucose （ 血
糖 ）, the primary energy source for the brain.
