第三部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become a master since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brainpower. Researchers found that learning other language changes gray matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the effect is greater on the younger people who learn a second language.
A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons(土著的英国人) who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of other learners.
Scans showed that gray matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference is.
“Our findings suggest that his structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vanghan
Jones of the
The finding was matched
in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second
language between the ages of two and 34.

A. a researcher on language learning

C. a person who can speak two languages
D. an active language learner
59. We may know from the scientific findings that ___.
C. the experience of learning a second language has had an effect on people’s brain
D. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time

D. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language

As a professor at a large American university, there is a phrase that I hear often from students: “I’m only a 1050.”The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all. The SAT score, whether it is 800, 1 100 or 1550, has becomes the focus at this time of their life.
It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number. Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. The low test score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. And without a degree from a prestigious university, they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed.
According to a study done in the 1990s, the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student’s future performance in most cases. Interestingly, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indication――like a student’s high school grades. Even if standard tests like the SAT could show a student’s academic proficiency（学业水平）,they will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower, and are unable to give us the full picture of a student’s potentialities（潜力）.This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process. The SAT is an excellent test in many ways, and the score is still a useful means of testing students. However, it should be only one of many methods used.
68.The purpose of the SAT is to test students’ .
A. strong will B. academic ability
C. full potentialities D. confidence in school work
69.“A prestigious university” is probably
A. a famous university B. a technical university
C. a traditional university D. an expensive university
70.This passage is mainly about .
A. how to prepare for the SAT B. what the SAT is
C. American higher education D. the SAT and its effects

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 71 .
So, you have to give a speech―and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble(结结巴巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheep up! 72 . Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 73 . Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. 74 . And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? 75 .
A. It doesn’t have to be that bad.
B. Take several deep breaths before your speech.
C. This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech.
D. Say what you have to say and then stop.
E. Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.
F. Never forget your audience.
G.
Give it a try and see what happens.

One possible version:
16th June, Saturday Fine
I was excited during the last few minutes of the last lesson in the afternoon, because I would see a wonderful football match this evening. Hardly had the bell rung when I hurried out of the classroom.
On my way home, I happened to see a little child standing by the roadside crying. Clearly he had lost his way. Forgetting all about the match, I went over to ask him where he lived. He stopped weeping and told me his address. Then I took him to his house. His parents were deeply moved and they thanked me again and again. I missed the match, but I still felt happy. As a League member, I think the happiest thing is to be useful to others.
