二、阅读理解（第一节15小题；第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
第一节 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。
A
I work as an aid on a school bus. There is a guy Tyrell who is almost completely blind. Tyrell was all smiling for about a week. He’s normally a quite happy kid, but I could tell this was different from the normally silly smile I see. Wednesday morning my curiosity finally got me to ask him why.
He told me that he was going to ride his new 3-wheeled bike when he got home. He couldn’t control his happiness. When he got off, he gave me a smile. A smile will forever be in my heart.
The next morning, I noticed that his eyes were quite puffy (浮肿的). So were his mother’s. I asked them why. She explained that was due to many hours of tears the night before. She said that Tyrell got to ride the bike once before he had to come in for dinner and was promised he could ride it again afterward. He left it in the back yard where they thought it would be safe.
However, after dinner, the bike was nowhere to be found. They immediately broke into tears because they knew the thing that he treasured so much was stolen. She called her close friend to find some comfort.
The friend called her up later and said that she forgot to tell Tyrell’s mom that she had something for them and asked if it would be OK to bring it over. She, of course, was still crying from the thought that another bike would be impossible to afford and said yes. The friend brought over a huge box, in which there was a brand new bike for Tyrell.
When they noticed what was in the box, they thanked their angel and cried even harder, not of sadness but of joy, and thankfulness.

A. His smile gave the writer a deep impression.

A. her son wouldn’t ride the bike any more

38. We can conclude from this story that ____.
A. there are good people out there
B. offering someone helps is better than stealing from him
C. the loss of the bike puts the family into a sad situation
D. one can obtain happiness from helping others
B
Going to college has been such a new experience for me. Everything is different from when I was in high school. One thing I’ve noticed is that I haven’t been focusing on my coursework like I planned.
I thought I would spend most of my college life studying. But since I’ve been in college, about 60 percent of my time has been devoted to social life, while only 40 percent of my time has been devoted to my studies. I never knew I would make so many friends in such a short time.
It’s been so overwhelming (无法抵抗的)! I’m not saying that making friends is bad, but I’m starting to realize how much socializing has cut down on the time I should have spent on studying.
Needless to say, that has to be changed.
I’ve realized that I really don’t want to spend an extra year or two here just because I slacked off as a freshman. So the first thing I’m going to do is to cut down on the amount of time I spend socializing. I will also have to say goodbye to a good part of the activities I like to attend.
It’s really difficult to cut these things out of my life, but I have to choose: I can have a full-time social life and fail college, or I can learn to balance my time between friends and studying and keep good grades. I think I’ll stick to that second option!
I may be a little strict on myself, but I’m here to get an education, not to learn how to socialize more! I want to have fun at college, but at the same time, I want to get a good education and have a bright future!
39. What did the writer realize about his first year at college?
A. He doesn’t work as hard as in high school.
B. Teachers don’t care about him any more.
C. He could make quite a lot of friends.
D. He could spend much time on study.
40. The writer makes a decision that he will ____.
A. devote himself to his study rather than making friends
B. say good-bye to all his college activities
C. cut down all his social life to have a good education
D. try not only to study well but also to have fun at college
41. The underlined phrase “slack off” in the fifth paragraph is closest in meaning to “____”.
A. do one’s best B. spare no effort
C. have a good time D. make less effort
42. We can infer from the passage that the writer will ____ at college.
A. spend more time on study B. make a lot of friends
C. take more activities D. cut down his studying time
