第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分, 满分40分)

阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Mr. Whitson taught sixth-grade science. On the first day of class, he gave us a lecture about an animal called the Cattywampus, a nocturnal (夜间活动的) animal that was wiped out during the Ice Age. He passed around a skull as he talked. We all took notes and later had a quiz.

When he returned my paper, I was shocked. There was a big red “X” through each of my answers. There had to be some mistakes! I had written down exactly what Mr. Whitson said. Then I realized that everyone in the class had failed. What had happened? Very simple, Mr. Whitson explained. He had made up all that story about the Cattywampus. The information in our notes was, therefore, incorrect. Did we expect credit for incorrect answers? Needless to say, we were outraged. What kind of text was this? And what kind of teacher is he?

We should have figured it out, Mr. Whitson said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the Cattywampus skull (in truth, a cat’s), hadn’t he been telling us that no trace of the animal remained? He had described its amazing night vision, the color of its fur and any number of other facts he couldn’t have known, he had given the animal a ridiculous name, and we still hadn’t been suspicious. The zeroes on our papers would be recorded in his grade book, he said. And they were. Mr. Whitson said he hoped we would learn something from this experience. He told us not to let our minds go to sleep, and to speak up if we ever thought he or the textbook was wrong.

We carded our new skepticism (怀疑主义) into all our classes. This caused problems for the other teachers, who weren’t used to being challenged. Our history teacher would be lecturing about something, and then there would be clearings of the throat and someone would say “Cattywampus”.

If I’m ever asked to propose a solution to the crisis in our schools, it will be Mr. Whitson. I haven’t made any great scientific discoveries, but Mr. Whitson’s class gave me and my classmates something just as important: the courage to look people in the eye and tell them they are wrong. He also showed us that you can have fun doing it.

51.The best title for this passage would probably be _______.

      A. Cattywampus                                      

B. An interesting and unforgettable Lesson

C. A new teaching method                        

D. The Best Teacher I Ever Had

      A. angry                             B. excited                     C. disappointed             D. discouraged

53.From this passage, we know that Mr. Whitson was a teacher _______.

      A. difficult to get along with                                   B. creative in teaching  

C. fond of being challenged                            D. full of energy and enthusiasm

      A. teachers and textbooks are not always right

B. Cattywampus could be found in the Ice Age

C. the history teacher didn’t like to be challenged

D. Mr. Whitson always made a bad impression on his students

In recent weeks , small groups of young people appeared on downtown sidewalks in Changsha, Beijing and other cities , holding signs with the words "free hugs ,and offered embraces to any passer-by who would care for one. "

Calling themselves " the hug league" ,they said they were inspired an international news story of a similar type and intended to promote human contact in the face of growing alienation(疏远)in urban china.

We Chinese ,contrary to what is shown in our love movies and television shows , rarely run into each other's arms and cry our hearts out .We are raised in a culture of emotional restraint(克制)。We mark our meetings and departures with a wave of hand and  a handshake of light touch . Not so long ago , even young lovers hugging in public places were considered rude.

But that doesn't mean we are immune(免疫的)to the wonderful feeling of human tactility(触感)。I remember my mother was visibly moved when I hold her hand for the first time while walking her across a busy street in the U.S. The circumstance made it more natural .But cultures don't evolve overnight ."It's hard to get rid of the old belief that man and woman shouldn't have any physical contact ,"some explained .In the late 1970s some feared that social dance would lead to sexual (侵扰).But the awkwardness was overcome as more and more people came to accept dancing with partners who were not their spouses (配偶)as a perfectly normal form of recreation.

In this environment of changing social customs manners , how people act could be the working many factors ,including their personality.Some offer bear hugs to everyone they know while others would shiver at the thought of medical personnel touching them with a stethoscope(听诊器)。The line between proper and improper often shifts(移动)with the sands of circumstances.

Offering hugs to strangers on the street is too radical(激进的)a step to have any meaningful impact on our customs.If anything , the huggers should start with their loved ones.

72.The writer think that __________

A free hug is not acceptable at present

B free hug is a proper custom in china

C offering hugs to strangers is nothing new in China

D man and woman should not have any physical contact

73.According to the passage , free hug_________

A was invented by some Chinese youths

B was introduced from other countries

C was intended to find lovers among the strangers

D was beneficial to a person's emotional health

74.The words "contrary to " in Paragraph 3 mean"_______"

A opposite to    B different from     C similar to     D the same as

75.The writer give the example of the social dance to ______

A prove that we are immune to the feeling of human touch

B indicate that the society is always changing

C show that many western customs are being accepted

D show that cultures don't evolve overnight
