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） Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion—like stress, anger, or frustration. What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with (充斥) different kinds of thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?
The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, that's right, stop. Whatever you're doing, stop and sit for one minute .While you're sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion. Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Don't cheat yourself here. Take the entire minute—but only one minute—to do nothing else but feel that emotion.
When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day？” Once you've allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really feel it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.
If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion. When you feel you've had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you're willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.
This exercise seems simple—almost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.
1、What should you do when you are into negativity according to the article?
A．Listen to some music.
B．Ignore it and do something else.
C．Just do nothing and truly feel that emotion.
D．Think about it and try to deal with it immediately.
2、The underlined word “immerse” ( Paragraph 2) most probably means “________”．
A．break down B．get rid of
C．cut off D．throw into
3、What's the best title of this text?
A．Clear Your Mental Space
B．Deep Breath, Trouble Away
C．Try to Avoid the Negative Emotion
D．Keep Holding on to This Negative Emotion as Long as Possible
4、The author's attitude towards negative emotion is ________.
A．doubtful B．optimistic
C．frightened D．confused
22．（8分）There are an unbelievable number of reasons to go to Greece;just like there are an unbelievable number of things to do once a traveler arrives there.Here is a look at just some of the great historical things to see when vacationing in Athens,Greece.
Agora

Agora lies in ruins now,but during its glory days it was a lively and active open marketplace where Greeks came to buy,sell,and exchange their goods and services.Agora has ties to common people of ancient Greece.Guided tours are available and there is also a small museum with many artifacts from this area on display.

23．（8分） A new study explores the custom of tipping in the United States. Many Americans give tips to people who perform a job for them, especially workers in the service industry. They pay a little extra to people cutting their hair, driving them across town or serving them a meal at a restaurant.
The researchers found that men give bigger tips to restaurant workers than women. And people who live in the northern US are more generous with tips than those living in the South. People who earn $ 50, 000 or more a year give bigger tips than those who earn less than $50, 000. There is one likely reason: the wealthier Americans have more money to spend.
Michael Lynn is a professor of consumer behavior and marketing at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration in New York. In other words, he knows a lot about the issue of tipping. In earlier surveys, Lynn said he found mixed results on the generosity of men and women when it comes to tipping. In some studies, men gave bigger tips than women. In others, women gave more money.
Lynn’s own research in American restaurants found that men give bigger tips when the restaurant server is a woman and women give more when the server is a man. Tips are very important to service employees. People who work at restaurants often get most of their earnings from tips.
Nationwide, Americans generally tip between 15 to 20 percent at restaurants and leave from $2 to S 10 a day for the people who clean their hotel rooms. Tips of 15 percent of the reading on the meter (计价器) are also common for people who drive taxis.
But here is something to keep in mind. If you are able to give the person serving you a tip or a bigger one than what is expected, your generosity will be welcome. Many service workers do not make much money, and even an extra dollar or two can make a difference in their lives.
1、What is paragraph I mainly about?
A．A study in a restaurant. B．A job offering a lot of tips.
C．The service industry in the US. D．The custom of tipping in the US.
2、What is Lynn’s finding in American restaurants?
A．People give more tips to the opposite sex server.
B．People are always more generous to service employers.
C．Men give the same tips to the women restaurant servers as women.
D．Men always give more tips to the men restaurant servers than women.
3、How much tips do Americans generally pay if the reading on the taximeter is $100?
A．$2. B．$10.
C．$15. D．$20.
4、What is the authors attitude towards tipping?
A．Doubtful. B．Critical.
C．Uncaring. D．Supportive.
24．（8分）As free as they make us, mobile phones still need to stay close to a power source. Soon that may change with "green" power.
Three Chilean students got the idea for a plant-powered device(装置) to charge their cellphones, while sitting in their school's outdoor courtyard during a break from exams, with dead mobile phones. Then, one of them had an "aha" moment.
“It occurred to Camila to say about plants, "said inventor Evelyn Aravena. "Why don't you have a socket, if there are so many plants? 'After that, we thought, why don't they have a charging outlet? Because there are so many plants and living things that have the potential to produce energy, why not? ' "
Their invention — a small biological circuit called E-Kaia - uses the energy plants to produce during photosynthesis(光合作用). A plant uses only a small part of that energy and the rest goes into the soil, and that's where the E-Kaia collects it. The device plugs into the ground and then into your phone.
"It's the most amazing project I've ever seen in my life, plain and simple. They brought this original model, and it worked — and that's when it all changed, at least from my personal point of view and I began to support them. " said Mauricio Cifuentes.
The device solved two problems for the engineering students — they needed an idea for a class project, and an outlet to plug in their phones.
"Looking for a place to charge the notebook, which had no power, and the mobile phones, we weren't able to find anything because all the other students were in the same state of madness trying to find a place to charge their devices," said Aravena.
But plants are everywhere, and the biocircuit makes the best of their excess(过多的) power.
The E-Kaia doesn't carry much charge but it's powerful enough to completely recharge a mobile phone in less than two hours.
The student inventors have applied for patents on their technology, and expect the E-Kaia to go on sale in December 2016.
1、How could the students get the "green" power idea?
A．By carrying out an experiment.
B．Just from an occasional thought.
C．With the support of their professors.
D．Enlightened(启发) by the information in a science book.
2、How does the device work?
A．By using the energy during photosynthesis. B．By using a small biological circuit.
C．By using the electricity stored in the device. D．By using a device buried in the ground.
3、What can we learn from what Mauricio Cifuentes said?
A．He intended to buy the patent.
B．The device was made in a rough way.
C．He showed great interest in the device.
D．He attempted to produce the device in large numbers.
4、What might be the best title for the passage?
A．A New Device to Change the World
B．Green Power - A New and Potential Source
C．Chilean Students Find A Green Way to Charge Phones
D．A New Device Invented by Chilean Students Will Be on Sale
