第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） Britain and France are two important countries in Europe. They are neighbors, separated only by the 20-mile seaway of the English Channel. And for most of the time that the two countries have existed, the French and the British have been rivals or even enemies. One conflict between the two countries lasted over 100 years, and the British and French were at war through the 18th century.
There is no fighting now, of course. But there is still a strong sense of rivalry (敌对) between the two
nations. That’s why a recent survey in the UK caused a major shock.
It revealed (揭露) that one third of the British people would like to live in France. It also showed that twenty-one percent of British people would actually prefer to have been born in France.
Many reasons were given. France has a better climate and a more relaxed lifestyle, with some of the longest holidays in Europe. It is thought to have better public services in every area from health to transport. People in France work shorter hours and enjoy longer vacations. And think of the food and wine!
Estimates (估计) of the numbers of Britons living in France range from 100,000 to half a million. But it is not one-way traffic. Around 15,000 French people per year come to live in Britain, mainly settling in London. They are attracted by higher pay in Britain, lower taxes, a more dynamic lifestyle. Now it seems that people can go to the place that suits them best. 1、Why do some British people like to live in France? A．They prefer the longer holidays there. B．England has the worst food in Europe. C．France is not far away from England. D．The two countries have always been friends.
2、Some French people mainly set in London because ________. A．they like better the more dynamic lifestyle B．they think there are better public services in it C．they live in France for a long time D．they can work shorter hours there
3、Which would be the most ideal way to live for people in both countries? A．Work and live in France. B．Work and live in London.
C．Work in London and live in France. D．Work in France and live in London. 4、What a suggestion does the text give?
A．Both of the people like to move between two countries. B．Both of the people are becoming more European. C．The French are becoming more British. D．The British are becoming more French.
22．（8分） When you are sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins (页边的空白处) of your notebooks? If so, you are doodling. Many people think of doodling as a distraction (分心)
from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.
One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear 29% more. Besides, doodling can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you’ll have a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly. An author named Sunni Brown wrote a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown believes doodling is helpful because it includes many ways of learning. You learn in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn. And when you doodle while listening to a lecture, you use all four.
You might think that being good at drawing is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn’t matter what the picture looks like. Even if you’re not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away! 1、The passage mainly tells us the ________ of doodling. A．advantages C．effects
B．disadvantages D．problems
2、What does the underlined word “perspective” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A．体验 C．困扰
B．观点 D．机会
3、How does Sunni Brown feel about doodling? A．It helps remember better. C．It involves four ways of learning.
B．It helps think creatively. D．It needs drawing skills.
4、According to the text, it is helpful to doodle when ________. A．you want to focus your attention. C．you wonder in the park.
B．you have a conversation. D．you watch a movie.
5、Where is the passage possibly taken from? A．A book review. C．A student textbook.
B．A message board. D．A science magazine.
23．（8分） When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power
