第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分34分） 第一节（共12小题，每小题2分，满分24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，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应位置。
A
Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia(栀子花) was sent to my house. It did not come with a card or note of any kind, but I loved the beauty and sweet smell of the flower.
And I never stopped imaging who the giver might be. My mother helped me to imagine. She'd ask me if I had done something kind for anyone. Perhaps the neighbor I'd helped carry heavy bags for, or one of my classmates who I helped the lessons with. As a teenager, though, I had more fun thinking that it might be a boy I liked at school. When I was 17, a boy broke my heart and I cried myself to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, there was a message on my mirror, \we let sadness go, happiness will surely come to you.\I thought about those words for a long time. When I finally went to get the glass cleaner, my mother knew everything was all right again. One month before I finished high school, my father left us forever. I lost interest in all the celebrating activities such as the class play, taking photos with classmates before leaving the high school where I had studied for three years. Although my mother was very sad, she still encouraged me to take part in all those. She wanted her child to have a sense that there was still beauty in the face of bad luck, just like the gardenia—lovely, strong and perfect.
My mother died 10 days after I was married. I was 26. That was the year gardenias stopped coming.
21. From the age of , the writer began to receive a gardenia every year on her birthday.
A. 17 B. 12
C. 26 D. 10
22. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
A. Mother was clever. B. I was still sad.
C. The glass was dirty. D. Mother really understood me.

understand, and learn things quickly. But are they smart like humans or more than cats or dogs? Dolphins use their brains differently from people. But scientists say dolphin intelligence and human intelligence are similar in some ways. How? Fact 1: Talk to me
Like humans, every dolphin has its own \Each dolphin chooses a specific whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Actually, scientists think dolphins, like people, \to each other about a lot of things, such as their age, their feelings, or finding food. And, like humans, dolphins use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. But understanding their conversations is not easy for humans. No one speaks \scientists are trying to learn. Fact 2: Let's play
Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups, and they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun—just like people. In fact, playing together is something only intelligent animals do. Fact 3: Fishermen's helper
Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both make plans to get something they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an interesting strategy to get food. When fish are near a boat, dolphins show signs to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. What is the advantage for the dolphins in doing so? They get to eat some of the fish. 25. What does a dolphin often use as its \

27. How do dolphins help fishermen catch fish?
28. What is the passage mainly about?
many as the number in 2008.
Air pollution is an international problem. The World Health Organization says one in eight people die from air pollution, from both inside buildings and outside. It says new information shows air pollution is partly to blame for people dying at an early age from heart disease. It says other causes of death include cancer and or long-term diseases of the lungs and breathing passages.
The WHO report says most deaths from air pollution take place in low and middle-income countries in Southeast Asia and the western Pacific Ocean. About half of the world's population lives in those countries. Many people who live there use open fires or simple equipment to cook food and heat their homes.
Health officials say 4.2 million people died at an early age in 2012 because of the burning of coal and biomass fuels—such as wood, crop waste and animal wastes. They say 3.7 million others died in cities and rural areas because of outside air pollution.
Carlos Dora says countries must work together to reduce air pollution because what happens in one country can affect lives in another country.
Dr. Dora says at one time, air pollution was worse in developed countries than in developing ones. But he notes developed countries—especially Britain and the United States—have taken steps to greatly reduce air pollution during the past 10 years.
He says measures that help cut air pollution can be costly. But he says they may save money in the long term by lowering health care costs.
29. According to the passage, air pollution can cause the following diseases except .
A. heart disease
B. cancer
C. lung disease D.
memory loss
30. How many people died of air pollution in 2008?
