第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节(共10小题；每小题2. 5分，满分25分)

并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
I never knew anyone who’d grown up in Jackson without being afraid of
Mrs. Calloway, our librarian. She ran Jackson’s Carnegie Library absolutely by
herself. SILENCE in big black letters was on signs hung everywhere. If she
thought you were dressed improperly, she sent you straight back home to
change your clothes. I was willing; I would do anything to read.
My mother was not afraid of Mrs. Calloway. She wished me to have my
own library card to check out books for myself. She took me in to introduce
me. “Eudora is nine years old and has my permission to read any book she
wants from the shelves, children or adults,” Mother said.
Mrs. Calloway made her own rules about books. You could not take back a
book to the library on the same day you’d taken it out; it made no difference to
her that you’d read every word in it and needed another to start. You could
take out two books at a time and two only. So two by two, I read library books
as fast as I could go, rushing them home in the basket of my bicycle. From the
minute I reached our house. I started to read. I knew this was extreme
happiness, knew it at the time.
My mother shared this feeling of mine. Now I think of her as reading so
much of the time while doing something else. I remember her reading a
magazine while taking the part of the Wolf in a game of “Little Red Riding
Hood” with my brother’s two daughters. She’d just look up at the right time,
long enough to answer — in character — “The better to eat you with, my dear,”
and go back to her place in the magazine article.
21. Which of the following best describes Mrs. Calloway?
A. Quiet. B. Strict. C. Humorous. D. Considerate.
22. What do the underlined words “this feeling” refer to in the last paragraph?
A. Desire to read. B. Love for Mrs. Calloway.
C. Interest in games. D. Fear of the library rules.
23. Where is the text probably from?
A. A guidebook. B. An autobiography.
C. A news report. D. A book review.
B
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is road testing a new way to keep winter roads
ice-free — by spreading on them cheese brine, the salty liquid used to make
soft cheeses, like mozzarella.
Wisconsin, also called “America’s Dairyland,” is famous for its cheese.
The state produced 2.8 billion pounds of cheese last year! As a result, there
was a lot of leftover cheese brine. Disposing of(处置) the brine can be
expensive. So what should cheese makers do with the waste?
Normally, towns use rock salt to de-ice streets. The salt lowers water’s
freezing point, causing ice to melt(融化). But using cheese brine could help
both cheese producers and cities save money, while keeping roads safe.
Cheese brine has salt in it, which, like the rock salt, helps lower water’s
freezing point.
In addition to saving money, cheese brine could also be a more
eco-friendly option. Many people suspect that all the rock salt used every
winter is harming the environment.
Rock salt is made of sodium chloride, the same compound(化合物) in
ordinary table salt. Sounds harmless, right? But while you probably add only a
small amount of salt to your food, road crews spread about 20 million tons of
salt on U. S. roads every year！
The chemical washes off roads and goes into the ground. There it can
pollute drinking water, harm plants, and eat away soil. By spreading cheese
brine on streets before adding a layer of rock salt, Milwaukee may be able to
cut its rock salt use by 30 percent.
Cheese brine has a downside too — a smell similar to that of bad milk. “I
don’t really mind it,” Emil Norby told Modern Farmer magazine. He works for
one of Wisconsin’s county highway commissions and came up with the idea of
using cheese brine. “Our roads smell like Wisconsin!” he said.
24. Why can cheese brine help keep winter roads ice-free?
A. It is soft. B. It contains salt.
C. It is warm. D. It has milk in it.
25. What is benefit of using cheese brine on roads?
A. Improving air quality. B. Increasing sales of rock salt.
C. Reducing water pollution. D. Saving the cheese industry.
26. Milwaukee’s new way to de-ice streets may be an example of ______.
A. barking up the wrong tree B. putting the cart before the horse
C. robbing Peter to pay Paul D. killing two birds with one stone
C
Today’s world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set
for success is persistence(毅力), a characteristic that researchers say is heavily
influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered
that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn
persistence.
BYU professors Laura Padilla- Walker and Randal Day arrived at these
findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over
time, the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in
school.
“There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers,”
Padilla-Walker said. “This research also helps to prove that characteristics
such as persistence — which can be taught — are key to a child’s life success.”
Researchers determined that dads need to practice an “authoritative”
parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid, demanding
or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the
following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father;
responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given an
appropriate level of autonomy(自主权).
In the study, about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels
of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by
an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence,
which leads to better outcomes in school.
This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent
homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in
teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research.
27. What is special about the BYU professors’ study?
A. It centered on fathers’ role in parenting.
B. It was based on a number of large families.
