第三部分书面表达(共两节，满分35分)

第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

So you’re between the ages of 13 and 24. What makes you happy? Spending time with family was the top answer to that open-ended question,according to a survey—more than 100 questions asked of 1 ,280 people aged 13-24 carried out by the Associated Press on the nature of happiness among America^ young people.

Next was spending time with friends. And good news for parents： nearly three quarters of young people say their relationship with their parents makes them happy.

“They’re my foundation ,” says Kristina St. John,17, a high-school student from Queens in New York. “My mum tells me that even if I do something stupid,she's still going to love me. Just knowing that makes me feel very happy. ”

Other results are more disconcerting. While most young people are happy with the way their lives are going,there are racial differences： the survey shows whites to be happier than blacks. A lot of young people feel stressed,particularly those from the middle class,and females more than males.

You might think money would be clearly tied to a general sense of happiness. But almost no one said “money” when asked what makes them happy,though people with the highest family incomes are generally happier with life. However,having highly educated parents is a stronger predictor (预示物) of happiness than income.

Young people think marriage would make them happy and want to be married some day. Most also want to have kids.

Finally,when asked to name their heroes,nearly half of-them mentioned one or both of their parents. The winner,by a nose (以些微之差) ：Mum.

56. What's the meaning of the underlined word “disconcerting” in Paragraph 4 ? (1 word)

57. What are the top two things that make young people happy? (No more than 10 words)

58. Do most American young people want to marry? Why? (No more than 10 words)

59. What can we infer from the last paragraph? (No more than 7 words)

60. Among the young people who would be more likely to feel stressed? (No more than 6 words)

Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the “ silent language” of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.

In the US,people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak,it is a sign of “weakness or unfriendliness”. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder. Some people,usually women,greet a friend with a hug.

Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other,they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle (角度) ，so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident,they say ,“Pardon me” or “Excuse me”. Americans like to look at the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so,it means you are bored,hiding something,or are not interested. But when you stare at someone,it is not polite.

For Americans,thumbs-up means yes,very good,or well done. Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter,raise one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check,make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger (食指) . Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.

Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing (令人困惑的) .If you don't know what to do,the safest thing to do is to smile.

41. From the first paragraph we can learn that.

A. Americans like to use gestures

B. gestures can help us express ourselves

B. Facing each other directly.

C. Not standing too close.

D. Touching each other.

44. When your American friend gives you a thumbs-up,he may .

A. express his satisfaction to you

45. In the last paragraph the author tells us that .

A. we should always talk to others with a smile

B. it is not difficult to learn body language

C. body language is very helpful to us

D. smiling is a good choice for us

Michael Faraday was the son of a blacksmith (铁匠) .There were four children in his family and,with his father often ill and unable to work,Michael Faraday had to earn his living from an early age. This meant little or no schooling. However,the family belonged to a religious group,and Faraday learnt to read and write at Sunday school.

When he was only 14 ,Faraday found a job as a bookbinder (装订工) .He used to read the books he was given to bind and he became very interested in the scientific books,particularly the ones about electricity. His interest soon took a practical path and he began making his own experiments. These were very basic because Faraday had to make all of his equipment himself. However,he was very careful and kept a clear written record of all his findings.

One day,he was given an entrance ticket to the Royal Institute chemistry lecture by Humphry Davy. Determined to work for this great scientist,he sent Davy a job application (申请) including his laboratory reports on the experiments he had carried out. In 1813,Davy offered Faraday a job as one of his laboratory assistants. Faraday learnt quickly and soon was recognised as a very able chemist. Later,he went to work at the Royal Institute.

Michael Faraday was,perhaps,the greatest practical scientist of the 19th century. As a chemist,he discovered the benzene,which is now the central point of chemical study. He also proved the relationship between electrical bonding. As a physicist,he invented the dynamo (发电机) ，which led to the later invention of the electric motor.

41. Why did Faraday attend Sunday school?

A. He had to learn how to be a bookbinder.

B. He would like to learn religious knowledge.

C. He hoped to read many of the scientific books there.

D. His family couldn’t afford his normal school education.

42. When working as a bookbinder,Faraday .

A. published his great findings on electricity

B. was famous as a practical scientist

C. read many books lent by Humphry Davy

D. made equipment for his experiments on his own

43. In order to get a chance to work for Davy,Faraday .

A. sent his experiment reports to Davy

B. offered to do laboratory work for free

C. bought tickets to attend Davy's lecture

44. We can learn from the last paragraph that.

A. the electric motor was invented by Faraday

B. electricity was Faraday's best-known finding

C. Faraday's research covered different fields

D. Faraday was more a chemist than a physicist

45. What would be the best title for the passage?

第一节阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)

All living beings have enemies. And they all have developed interesting ways to keep them at bay. Some animals hide,others run,or just fly away when faced with danger. These are their defence methods.

Some animals can hide without moving. They have the unique ability to change their colour according to the change of the surroundings. They become invisible to the predator (猎食者) . This method of defence is called “camouflage”.

The most common example of an animal which uses camouflage is the chameleon (变色龙) . If it is on a green leaf,it turns green and if it is on a brown branch,it turns brown.

Some rabbits change colour with the change of the season. The snowshoe hare is brown in summer and white in winter. The white fur serves as camouflage in the snow in winter.

Many non-poisonous snakes take on colours similar to poisonous snakes in order to scare off enemies. This form of defence is called mimicry (模仿) . Some poisonous snakes have very bright colours to warn enemies. This form of defence is called “warning colouration”.

There is a kind of fish called the puffer fish which uses an extraordinary device to keep predators away. It swells up (膨胀) like a balloon when it is attacked.Then,its attacker finds it difficult to swallow it.

Animals which cannot protect themselves in these ways develop other means to do so. Some have claws and teeth which they use to fight;others have poison fangs. Snakes bite,bees sting and skunks give off an unpleasant smelling liquid to ward off enemies.

A. use bright colour to attract other animals

B. change shape to fit in with the surroundings

Forget open beaches and seaside resorts. Go to Pripyat,a city near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Part city exploration experience,part real-life video game,the tour is now being provided by several Ukrainian travel companies.

On the day of the tour,curious visitors of all ages and countries—many from the US and Western Europe—gathered in the Ukrainian capital city,Kiev,and boarded a tour bus destined for Pripyat. This used to be a successful blue-collar town until the nuclear meltdown. Today,well-maintained freeways fall away to two-way highways,which finally give way to beaten old roads as one nears the edge of the Exclusion Zone —the 30km radius around the infamous power plant.

After a brief direction which tour guides insisted that the levels of radiation experienced by visitors are similar to the exposure they had on the flight to Ukraine—we were driven beyond the checkpoint into the Exclusion Zone.

Pripyat was founded as a city for the power plant's workers. Nowadays,its once busy streets have been changed into narrow gravelly trails between breakdown buildings,and small decorative trees that at one time lined the sidewalks have returned the area to the forest it was in days past.

The tour continued inside some of the buildings. This hotel room would once have been warm and cozy,but not any more. You can see a tree growing in the room. There was a huge amount of old paint,broken windows,and wood. As Pripyat people were told it would only be a short-term evacuation,most of their personal belongings were left behind. We carefully stepped around the ruined objects littering the floor and had the unique experience of seeing a building frozen in time for over 25 years.

Part of the tour took place in the old school. And although this is definitely one of the most disturbing parts—the rows of desks covered in dust that scatter the floor are frightening,it is also one of the sites that has been the most disturbed by visitors.

51. According to the passage,Pripyat was a city .

A. where visitors came to enjoy its beauty

B. where most people worked at factories

C. where the whole town was powered by nuclear

D. where freeways fell down on the highways

52. We can infer from the third paragraph that .

A. radiation can spread throughout tfie whole Ukraine

B. tour guides force travelers into the Exclusion Zone

C. the radiation near the Zone does no harm to visitors

D. visitors are asked to travel by plane to the Zone

53. The fourth paragraph is mainly about .

A. the deep forest in Pripyat

B. the ruins of the power plant

C. the narrow streets in Pripyat

D. the surroundings of Pripyat

54. The fifth paragraph implies that people thought.

A. they could return to their home soon

B. they could defeat nature in 25 years

C. they could experience the feeling of time-frozen.

D. they didn't need their personal belongings

55. What kind of tourism is the passage about?
