　　第二部分阅读理解(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。

　　Lots of people buy books and products from Amazon, an online seller. They order and pay over the Internet and the books are shipped through the mail or a delivery service like FedEx.

One day, people could get their Amazon deliveries from an “unmanned aerial vehicle” — a tiny flying vehicle that looks like a toy helicopter. And instead of waiting days to get the parcel, it could be at the buyer’s home in half an hour or less. The company is working on a fleet of tiny vehicles they call “Prime Air”. The vehicles are also known as “octocopters”. On their website, Amazon says, “one day, Prime Air vehicles will be as normal as seeing mail trucks on the road today.”

　　The U.S.’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is working on safety regulations for unmanned flying vehicles like the Prime Air copters(飞机). Those regulations will make sure the copters are able to fly safely where they need to go. Once the FAA has put its rules in place, which could be as early as 2015, Amazon will be ready with its fleet of tiny flyers. The process could take as many as five years.

　　The new delivery service would likely be available only in the United States at first. The copters the company is testing now can handle packages up to five pounds (2.3 kg) and they have a range of 10 miles (16 kilometres).

　　Other companies are also looking at using unmanned flying vehicles to deliver their products. For instance, Domino’s Pizza in the UK released a video showing a “DomiCopter,” delivering a pizza. That video may have been a publicity stunt(噱头). In any case, just like Prime Air’s octocopters, the DomiCopters don’t have clearance to take off just yet.

　　21. For what purpose does Amazon want to use the Prime Air?

　　A. To remind people to order online.

　　B. To check the delivery service.

　　C. To shorten the delivery period.

　　D. To predict the sales volumes.

　　22. What does Paragraph Four mainly tell us about the new delivery method?

　　A. Its safety.

　　B. Its appearance.

　　C. Its moving speed.

　　D. Its delivery ability.

　　23. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?

　　A. The delivery service in the world is making great progress.

　　B. The new vehicles would be put into immediate production.

　　C. The designer will promote his new product to other countries.

　　D. The similar delivery vehicles in other places worked out to be well.

　　When Luke went to university he thought he would be starting a new journey in life and getting his own place. In the UK, it’s common to fly the nest at a fairly young age. Many choose a flatshare; others make plans to get on the property ladder.

　　But the current economic situation forced Luke back to his mum’s house at the age of 27. And he’s not alone: a quarter of young adults in the UK now live with their parents. The Office for National Statistics said more than 3.3 million adults between the ages of 20 and 34 were living with their parents in 2013.

　　Lack of jobs and the high cost of renting accommodation made Luke change his plans. He’s frustrated: “There’s something very difficult about being an adult living in an environment where you’re still a child,” he says. “It limits me socially; sometimes I feel it limits me professionally.”

　　Indeed, many young people have no choice but to stay at ‘the hotel of Mum and Dad’.

　　Krissy had to return home after a year away and now lives in rather cramped conditions, sharing the family’s three-bedroom house with her siblings. She says they end up getting on each other’s nerves when it’s time to use the bathroom in the morning.

　　Of course, residing with your parents is not unusual in some countries. Economic conditions, culture, or family traditions mean many young people stay at home until they get married. Even then, it can be too expensive to rent or buy a house and the married couple continue to live at one of their parents’ homes.

　　But some parents seem to enjoy having their kids back at home. Janice’s daughters are part of what’s being called ‘the boomerang generation’. She says: “I get to share their lives with them, and I’ve got to know them all as adults. We have the sort of conversations that good friends do.” So for some it’s a win-win situation — spending time with your families, and saving money.

　　24. How is the passage developed?

　　A. By listing figures.

　　B. By offering examples.

　　C. By analyzing causes.

　　D. By making comparisons.

25. We can learn from the passage that________.

　　A. All the parents enjoy living with their children

　　B. Living with parents is common in some countries

　　C. The author approves of children’s living with parents

　　D. Janice belongs to a group called “the boomerang generation”

　　26. What does the underlined sentence mean in the fifth paragraph?

　　A. They shout at each other angrily.

　　B. They get on very well with each other.

　　C. They finally make each other annoyed.

　　D. They are unwilling to sharing with each other.

　　27. What is the purpose of the passage?

　　A. To persuade children into living on their own after getting married.

　　B. To show the present situation of young people living with their parents.

　　C. To compare the advantages and disadvantages of living with parents.

　　D. To solve the problems young adults may face after going to university.

　　Don’t we all know a “Happy Meal” when we see one—the famous boxed meal that includes a hamburger, a kid—sized portion of fries, a drink and so on, served with a toy that’s extremely popular with children who love to collect them?

　　But collectors of these little toys will soon be in for a surprise. For the book lovers though, there is some good news. McDonalds will replace toys with books. However, each of these books will mainly pass on nutritional messages.

　　Do you know that McDonalds has been marketing the boxed kid’s meal since 1979? Happy Meals are extremely popular with kids, especially for its collectible toys, when you consider that over 1.3 billion of these packages are sold each year! These packages have been very controversial. Health supporters believe that drawing kids to these meals with toys is a clever way of promoting unhealthy food choices. They see it as an advertising strategy of “catching its customers young”—a move that has paid off very well for the fast food company.

　　Child development experts say that food habits get formed in children by age six and continue through to their adult life. Fatty and sugary foods such as those served in McDonalds’ Happy Meals are believed to play a big role in growing health problems such as obesity and diabetes. Public health care costs have gone up and untold amounts of other health problems. In 2010, the State of California tried to ban toys in Happy Meals. But it was strongly opposed by some as being heavy-handed, and the ban was thrown out by the government.

　　While some people believe that McDonalds, with its large following of children, can create a powerful message through the books, others believe its actions are contradictory. Anyway, the company is trying to spread the message of nutrition while it is serving food that is anything but healthy.

　　28. What’s the aim of the question raised in the first paragraph?

　　A. To give a surprise to the book lovers.

　　B. To persuade the readers to buy boxed meals.

　　C. To make the readers think about the answer.

　　D. To get the readers’ attention to the passage.

　　29. Books will be added into Happy Meals to______.

　　A. encourage more kids to read books

　　B. introduce the history of McDonald’s

　　C. have kids learn more about nutrition

　　D. help young kids learn to read and write

　　30. In the author’s opinion, Happy Meals______.

　　A. bring much fun to children

　　B. do no actual good to children’s health

　　C. are popular with the young and the old

　　D. teach children a lot about nutrition

　　31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Are Happy Meals Really Happy?

　　B. The links Between Food and Health

　　C. The Importance of Eating Healthy Food

　　D. Happy Meal—A New Advertising Method

　　Parents who exert too much control over their children could be causing them lifelong psychological damage, according to a study which tracked a group of people born in the 1940s until the present day.

　　Researchers found that people who reported that parents had intruded on their privacy in childhood or encouraged dependence were more likely to have low scores in surveys of happiness and general wellbeing carried out in their teens, their 30s, their 40s and even their 60s.

　　The negative impact on wellbeing was comparable in degree to that observed in people who have lost a family member, experts from University College London (UCL) said.

　　In contrast, people who said their parents were more caring, warm and responsive to their needs tended to be more content well into adulthood.

　　The findings are the culmination of a survey which has tracked more than 5,000 people since their birth in 1946. It is well-established that childhood influences can have profound effect on the

　　developing brain, but this is one of the first studies that have attempted to measure their impact over

　　such a long period of time.

　　Information on parenting styles was only available from the study participants themselves, who were asked to recall their childhoods when in their 40s, and may therefore suffer from a degree of so-called recall bias – unhappy people may be more likely to depict their parents as controlling.

　　However, the research said the findings agreed with previous studies which have shown that children who are able to form secure emotional bonds with parents are more likely to have secure happy relationships later in life.

　　“parents also give us stable base from which to explore the world while warmth and responsiveness has been shown to promote social and emotional development,” said Dr. Maid Stafford, of the Medical Research Council’s(MRC) Lifelong and Ageing unit at UCL.

　　“By contrast, psychological control can limit a child’s independence and leave them less able to regulate their own behaviour.” Dr Stafford said that the study did not seek to blame parents.

　　“Parents are vitally important to the mental wellbeing of future generations,” she said.

“Policies to reduce economic and other pressures on parents could help them to foster better relationships with their children.”

　　Previous research has shown a clear link between economic stress in parents and poorer early child development.

　　32. What can be inferred from the passage?

　　A. Various parenting styles can count.

　　B. An unfair finding can easily mislead parents.

　　C. There is a side effect from too much control over children.

　　D. There is a link between parents’ economy and child development.

　　33. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

　　A. Children should say no to parents’ control.

　　B. Physical control can limit a child’s independence.

　　C. Parents’ control over children is completely wrong.
