8、阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（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和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school,
9、I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that one big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then t
10、here is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动
11、). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising - and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away. Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are
12、in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.21. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child ? A. Staying on the farm. B. Leaving home
13、for the city. C.Moving to the countryside. D. Running away from the school.22. Which of the following is true about the writer? A. He lives in the city now. B. He is in good health. C. He prefers driving a car. D. He is very old now.23. In the passage, the writer tries to _. A.persuade the reader to
14、 live in the city B. describe his life in the countryside C. show an interest in the outside world D. express his opinions about way of life 24. How is the passage mainly developed? A. By inferring. B. By listing examples. C. By comparing. D. By discussing.BBeliefs form a big part of our lives. Succ
15、essful people have always believed that they can be and will be successful in their lives, such as Michael Phelps. Many of us have seen Michael Phelps win 8 gold medals in a single Olympic Games. That has created a history for himself. Many people have admired his success and the first reaction in t
16、heir mind will be, “Wow, how I wish I could be like him!” Have you ever wondered what brought him success? In fact, anyone can achieve what they have wanted to achieve. It is about beliefs. Everyone is a born winner. It is this belief that drives an individual to be successful in his or her own fiel
17、d. All successful individuals have strong beliefs and it is one of the bases for their success. If we start to believe in ourselves, the things that we can achieve will definitely give us a pleasant surprise. Other than having a strong belief, it is the attitude that drives the individual to create
18、their own history. The devotion towards themselves and the drive must also be present. Imagine having a strong belief in oneself and having a poor attitude towards life. Then how would that individual turn out to be? Ones attitude comprises three things:the drive, the devotion and the desire to achi
19、eve his goals. If one has strong beliefs about the goals that he can achieve and he displays good attitudes towards them, it would be no surprise to anyone that he will be able to achieve his goals. Start believing in yourself and you will achieve your goals and with the right positive attitude, you
20、 will definitely be able to create the miracle that you have always dreamt of.25. Which of the following is the best summary of Paragraph2? A.Good begun is half done. B.

Relationship Between Beliefs and Attitudes D. The Power of Beliefs and Positive Attitudes CThe Future of
23、 TechnologyWilliam, a businessman, arrives in a foreign airport. He doesnt show his passport. Instead, a machine in the wall reads the computer chip（芯片）in his arm.

24、ar takes him to his hotel. His room “knows” he has entered the building and it “reads” his body. He is cold, so the room becomes warmer.
