第一部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿(mǎn)分 40 分）第一節(jié) （共 15 小題；每小題 2分，滿(mǎn)分 30 分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)．

• 1．Grandma celebrated her fifty-third birthday just weeks before grandpa died of cancer in 1965．Although his passing was very difficult for her，I think their shared struggle to make his life longer taught grandma that good health was not to be taken for granted，and she made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as fully and as long as she could．One day，when she announced to attend lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Portland，Oregon，where she lived，we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did．Many years filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma．
     I suppose grandma's primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social．She had been a shy girl，always very tall and heavy，and had married into grandpa's quiet lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance．Dancing，on the other hand，filled her life with flash lights，wonderful parties，beautiful dresses，handsome young dance instructors，and the challenge of learning．Although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample，two-hundred-pound figure，grandma surprised everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor，which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any Miss American competitor．
     Having taken weekly dance lessons for years，my grandma learned various dances easily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the Northwest．When I was fourteen，grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one of these matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the Red Lion Inn．My attitude was still unenthusiastic at that point，but to make her happy，my mother and I attended the match．As if to prove me wrong，grandma made a wonderful showing in every event she entered．I thought she was truly the queen of the ball during the dance，and my thoughts were shared by the judges a short time later when she was awarded a gold cup for her outstanding performance．
  
  （1）What did grandma learn from grandpa's death？

  
  A．Good health was not there for everyone．
  B．She should take dance lessons．
  C．She had to struggle to live a better life．
  D．She should wear beautiful dresses．

  A．She was able to maintain the confidence and elegance she had already had．

• 2．What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion？It means that we live among competing interests．Your roommate's need to study for an exam may take priority over pizza．Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade．
     In such a world，persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our points of view．When we persuade，we want to influence how others believe and behave．We may not always prevail - other points of view may be more persuasive，depending on the listener，the situation，and the merit of the case．But when we practice the art of persuasion，we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves．
     Some people，however，object to the very idea of persuasion．They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives．Just the opposite，we believe that persuasion is unavoidable - to live is to persuade．Persuasion may be ethical （合乎道義的） or unethical，selfless or selfish，inspiring or degrading．Persuaders may enlighten our minds or get our vulnerability（脆弱之處）．Ethical persuasion，however，calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners．Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make．Therefore，the most basic part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other．
     Beyond its personal importance to us，persuasion is necessary to society．The right to persuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system，guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution （美國(guó)憲法）．
  
  （1）According to the passage，persuasion means

  ．
  A．changing others' points of view．
  B．exercising power over other people．
  C．getting other people to consider your point of view．
  D．getting people to agree with you and do what you want．
  （2）Which of the following statement is true about persuasion？

  
  A．One always tries to persuade others for his own benefits．
  B．All the people are in favor of persuasion．
  C．Ethical or not，persuasion is something that we need to practice．
  D．A well-intended persuasion always shows consideration to the listeners．
  （3）The passage mainly discusses

  ．
  A．that people persuade to get what they want．
  B．that persuasion is important and it is all around．
  C．that persuasion is widely accepted and appreciated．
  D．that people persuade in different ways．

• 3．Service Foods makes it easier for cooks to reduce mealtime complains．Service Foods is so confident that they can reduce complaints，in fact，that the company is offering a series of mealtime complaint-reduction tips．
     According to a representative of Service Foods，complaints can occur when busy cooks serve substandard，low quality meats．As products sit in packaging in the meat case at the store，the meat can age out too much．The natural flavor disappears，and it can be replaced with an undesirable strange flavor．According to Service Foods，complaints from children are common when you serve substandard meats．Kids may not have the words to describe why they don't like the meats，but they're certainly willing to express their displeasure．By serving meats from Service Foods，complaints can be reduced．Service Foods meats are all natural and organic，meaning the meats have-no chemicals or water or colorings that could change the taste．And the meats are flash-frozen right after cutting，so they won't taste strange to your children．
     If you're facing different types of complaints，Service Foods may still be able to help you．Some families have mealtime boredom．The same meals，served in the same way，week after week，can be incredibly boring and hard 'to look forward to．When it comes to these complaints，Service Foods has the answer right on the web．Just go to http： ∥www．servicefoods.jye.ai and you'll find a long list of recipes to try．Some of these recipes are made in demonstration format，so you can watch the video and get step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the meals．By following these recipes from Service Foods，complaints relating to boredom can certainly be reduced．
     While Service Foods knows complaints at mealtime can never be totallyeradicated，as picky kids will always be picky kids with concerns，the company is doing everything possible to deal with the problem and get cooks the help they need．
  
  （1）Service Foods can solve mealtime boredom by

  ．
  A．serving flash-frozen meat．
  B．expressing children's complaints．

  Mr．Green，
      I'm very exciting to learn that you will start a magazine．That sounds great，and I definitely agree you on that．
      Some of the columns what you mentioned in the letter are really my cup of tea． "Cultural Express" gives us a better understanding of the world．Since the people from different parts of the world have different values，it's necessary to learn from each other．This will offer a wonderful chance．Apart from that， "Blurt Out" is pretty good for Chinese students to learn English idiom and improving oral English．Last but not least， "Entertainment" is so cool!The popular singers，actors and celebrities are too attractive that you absolute can't miss this part．Teenagers were just fond of popular things．
      Well，I can't list more．I really can't wait to read our magazine．
  Yours truly，
  Li Hua
