第二部分 阅读理解(共20小题，每题2分，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
The universe looks like a pretty quiet place to live. But the universe is filled with dangerous things, all struggling to be the one to wipe us off the planet. Happily for us, they?re all pretty unlikely, but if you wait long enough, one of them is certain to get us. But which one?
1. Death by Asteroid(小行星 )
Of all the ways we might meet our untimely death, getting wiped out by an asteroid is the most likely. Why? Because we sit in a universal shooting gallery, with 100 tons of material hitting us every day. The problem, though, occurs every few centuries when something big this way comes. If you could ask a dinosaur, I?d imagine they would tell you to take this seriously. 2. Death by Exploding Star
When a huge star ends its life, it does so with a bang, which sends death spreading across space in the form of high-energy radiation. Many studies show that the bang would have to be closer than about 75 light years to do us any harm. The good news: no stars so close are able to do the deed.
3. Death by Dying Sun
The sun is important to us; without it, we?d freeze. But the sun is also middle-aged, already halfway to running out of fuel, expanding into a red giant, and cooking us to a fine crisp. Even long before then, it?ll warm up enough to raise our average temperature and cause a runaway greenhouse effect, boiling our oceans. Happily, that?s a long time from now. 4. Death by Black Hole
Black holes are misunderstood. They don?t wander the galaxy looking for tasty snacks in the form of planets and stars; they turn around the Milky Way just like the hundreds of billions of other stars do. But it?s possible that one could wander too close to us. If it did, planetary paths would be disturbed, causing the Earth to drop into the sun or be thrown out into deep space.
Given that it could be trillions of years or more before even that happens, we don?t have to worry too much about black holes.
…
My advice? Go outside, look up, enjoy the sun, the moon, and the stars. They may be there forever as far as any one of us is concerned...and forever is a long, long time. 21. The underlined word “this” probably refers to . A. an untimely death B. getting wiped out by a dinosaur C. a cosmic shooting gallery D. 100 tons of material
22. Which of the following will cause the earth?s average temperature to go up dramatically?
A. The asteroid. B. The black hole. C. The dying sun. D. The exploding star. 23. Which of the following statement is possible about black holes? A. They wander the galaxy. B. They look for planets and stars. C. They turn around the galaxy. D. One of them wanders very close to the earth. 24. While the author is introducing the ways the universe could wipe out humankind, he is . A. warning us B. entertaining us C. comforting us D. persuading us

In the famous fairy tale, Snow White eats the Queen?s apple and falls victim to a curse; in Shakespeare?s novel, Romeo drinks the poison and dies; some ancient Chinese emperors took pills that contained mercury (水银), believing that it would make them live forever, but they died afterward.
Poison has long been an important ingredient in literature and history, and it seems to always be associated with evil, danger and death. But how much do you really know about poison?
An exhibition, The Power of Poison, opened last month at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, intended to give the audience a more vivid understanding of poison. The exhibition will continue until Aug. 2014, reported The New York Times.
The museum tour starts in a rainforest setting, where you can see live examples of some of the most poisonious animals: caterpillars (毛毛虫), frogs and spiders. Golden poison frogs, for
example, aren't much bigger than a coin, but their skin is covered in a poison that can cut off the signaling power of your nerves, and a single frog has enough venom (毒液) to kill 10 grown humans.
The exhibition also features interactive activities. In an iPad-based game, visitors are presented with three puzzling illnesses and asked to identify the poisons based on symptoms. In one case, for example, a pet dog is found sick in a backyard and visitors have to figure out whether it was the toad (蟾蜍), the leaky batteries in the trash or the dirty pond water that did it. “Poisons can be bad for some things,” Michael Novacek, senior vice president of the museurn, told NBC News.“Yet they can also be good for others.”
This is what visitors learn from the last part of the exhibition, which displays how poisons can be used favorably by humans, including for medical treatment.
25. By mentioning Snow White and Romeo at the beginning of the story, the author intends to . A. show that poison has long been involved in literature B. show that poison is always linked with evil and death
C. draw readers' attention to the poison exhibition in New York
D. get readers to think of more examples of the use of poison in stories 26. What is the main purpose of the exhibition The Power of Poison? A. To give people more in-depth knowledge about poison. B. To teach people how to handle poisonous animals.
C. To inform people about which animals are the most poisonous. D. To show how poison has been used for medical treatment.
27. Which of the following statements about the exhibition is TRUE according to the article? A. The exhibition will remain open in New York for a year.
B. Golder poison frogs are the most poisonous animals on display.
C. Those who visit the exhibition can join in some iPad-based interactive games. D. Visitors can listen to lectures on recent studies of poisonous animals. 28. Where does the passage probably come from? A. A science magazine. B. A news report. C. A tourist guidebook. D. A science textbook.
C
“Parents are anxious about their children?s education and should be more detached(超脱的)to allow them to develop naturally,” a leading headteacher, Peter Tait, says.
Writing in Attain，the magazine of the Independent Association of Prep Schools，Mr. Tait said．“While parents are determined to do the very best for their children，they can end up doing the opposite，”He said parents need to exercise common sense and parental nature when it comes to raising their children.
He added，“Parents also need to have confidence in those whose job it is to look after their children?s education. To do this requires a certain detachment，a willingness to trust the passage of time，focusing on whether their children are happy，challenged and purposeful and are learning the right values．If so，they will be fine. ”
“However,” he said，“some parents are changing from sensible and moderate people，who have faith in their schools and teachers，into fighters ready to battle with anything and anyone on behalf of ?their? children”. “What has made some parents put their own children at the centre of
