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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
I must have been about fourteen then， and I put away the incident from my mind with the easy carelessness of youth. But the words， Carl Walter spoke that day， came back to me years later， and ever since have been of great value to me.
Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I was doing. I said three or four hours a day.
“Do you practise in long stretches， an hour at a time？”
“I try to.”
“Well， don't，” he exclaimed. “When you grow up， time won't come in long stretches. Practise in minutes， whenever you can find them five or ten before school， after lunch， between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day， and pianoplaying will become a part of your life.”
When I was teaching at Columbia， I wanted to write， but class periods， themereading， and committee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper， and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the next week I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied， I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment， at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript ready for revision， later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever， in every day there were idle moments which could be caught and put to use. I even took up piano―playing again， finding that the small intervals (间断) of the day provided sufficient time for both writing and piano practice.
There is an important trick in this time―using formula：you must get into your work quickly. If you have but five minutes for writing， you can't afford to waste four chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand， and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortunately， rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.
I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Carl Walter has had a tremendous influence on my life. To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need， if I plunge in without delay.
56.What is the best title of this passage？
A.Concentrate on Your Work B.A Little at a Time
C.How I Became a Writer D.Good Advice
57.Which of the following statements is TRUE？
A.The writer owes great thanks to his teacher for teaching him to work in long stretches.
B.Carl Walter has had a great influence on the writer's life since he became a student.

D.Rapid concentration is actually more difficult than most people imagine.
58.The underlined part “counted on” can be replaced by .
A.enriched B.concentrated C.valued D.expected

A.has new books published each year however busy his teaching is
B.is always tired of interruptions in life because his teaching schedule is always heavy
C.has formed a bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his novels
D.can find sufficient time for mental preparations beforehand， so he's devoted to work instantly
B
If you are interested in something about the Olympic Games， you could go
in for NBA star Yao Ming's bed or the ancient Chinese drums used in the opening
ceremony. Media reports say
The drums， called fou， however， could come cheaper and surely easier to get because there are 2,008 of them， and as many umbrellas， each of which come with a smiling face.
More than 20 million Games memorabilia (纪念品) will be put under the hammer， and anybody can offer a price high enough for them. The auction (拍卖) is expected to reach about 1 billion yuan ($146 million). Information on the auction will be posted on China Beijing Equity Exchange's (CBEX) website soon.
A CBEX manager said the Beijing Olympics organizing committee (BOCOG) has agreed to sell the items after Sept 17， that is， after the end of the Paralympic Games.
On some popular auction websites， the bidding for star athletes' belongings has already heated up. The bid for the pair of sneakers men's badminton champion Lin Dan threw into the crowd has risen to 3 million yuan ($439,000).
And the signatures (签名) of Yang Wei， who won the men's allaround gymnastics gold， and his teammates are going for 10,000 yuan on taobao.com. The CBEX manager said， “Every item listed online will have an accompanying photograph and the telephone number of its ‘keeper’ to get in touch with.”
Furniture and fixtures， timepieces， light bulbs and a variety of sport equipment will be put up for sale. But it could take up to two years to auction them all， CBEX president Xiong Yan said. The money raised from the auctions will go to the BOCOG， which has not yet announced what it intends to do with the money. (From Chinadaily.com.cn)

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look， smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses， while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food， some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage， even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However， most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals， birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain， people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight， which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products， such as butter， can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food， therefore， has become an area of study in modern life.
68.We can infer from the text that humans and animals .
A.depend on one sense in choosing food
B.are not satisfied with their food
C.choose food in similar ways
D.eat entirely different food
69.Which of the following eats only one type of food？
A.The white butterfly. B.The small bird.
C.The bear. D.The fox.
70.We can learn from the last paragraph that .
A.food is chosen for a good reason
B.French and British food are good
C.some people have few choices of food
D.some people care little about healthy diet
71.Which of the following statements is True？
A.Animals often use senses to eat their food.
B.Most animals have a more varied diet.
C.All animals spend their lives eating one type of food.
D.The diet of birds and fox will be the same depending on the season.

Some day a stranger will read your email without your permission or scan the Websites you've visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchase or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
In fact， it's likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission？ It might be a spouse， a girlfriend， a marketing company， a boss， a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is， they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen―the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy， that it's important to reveal yourself to friends， family and lovers in stages， at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are， where you are and what you like. In some cases， a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not， increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
The key question is：Does that matter？
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy， most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy， with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away， and that bothers me.”
But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZPass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50centsoff coupon (优惠券).
But privacy does matter―at least sometimes. It's like health：When you have it， you don't notice it. Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.
72.What does the author mean by saying “the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked”(Para.2)？
A.People's personal information is easily gained without their knowledge.
B.In the 21st century people try every means to look into others' secrets.
C.People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.
D.Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.
73.What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends？
A.Friends should open their hearts to each other.
B.Friends should be faithful to each other.
C.There should always be a distance even between friends.
D.There should be fewer disputes between friends.
74.What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection？
A.They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.
B.They use various loyalty cards for business trade.
C.They rely more and more on electronic devices.
D.They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.
75.According to the passage， privacy is like health in that .
A.people will make every effort to keep it
B.people don't cherish it until they lose it
C.it is something that can easily be lost
D.its importance is rarely understood

One possible version：
Dear Editor，
I am writing to tell you about a discussion we've had about whether students of Senior 3 should take physical exercise. As you know， every coin has two sides. 55% of the students think they should take all kinds of exercise every day， such as doing morning exercises， playing table tennis and playing basketball， but not spend too much time on them. As a proverb says， “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Exercise builds their body and reduces lots of diseases. Sports let them have a good rest so that their study will be more effective.
On the other hand,45% students believe taking exercise is a waste of time and tiring. After having sports， they are too excited for a long time to pay attention to their lessons. And it's possible to be hurt in sports.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua

M：What's wrong with Jimmy？ He's coughing a lot today.
W：I know he used to have lung problems but he never coughs this much. I think it's probably because of last night's party.
M：What about it？
W：Well， I heard that the party there was really big and everybody was smoking a lot. Jimmy smoked the most of anyone.
M：That's really bad for his health. It will certainly kill him if he keeps on like this， knowing he has lung problems.
W：I once tried to persuade him to give up smoking. But he said it's hard because there is a lot of stress at work.

M：May I help you， madam？
W：I hope so. It's my watch. I brought it in to be repaired but now I've lost the receipt.
M：Lost the receipt？ Oh， dear. That's too bad.
W：Can't I just describe the watch to you？
M：I'm afraid not. Only the manager can help you but he has gone to lunch. He left only a minute ago.
W：Oh， dear. I think it was manager who served me.
M：Just a moment. When did you bring the watch in？
W：This time last week， during my lunch hour.
M：And was your watch a small gold one？
W：Yes， that's right. How did you know？
M：Because your receipt is still here. You dropped it when you left. The manager shouted but you didn't hear.

M：Hello， Lucy.
W：Hello， David， I haven't heard from you for a long time. How're you doing？
M：Fine. I'm calling to ask if you'd like to have dinner with me this evening.
W：Why not？ Where？
M：Let's go to the Chinese restaurant on
W：How can I get there？
M：You go out of your office and turn right. Then go along
W：Wait， wait. Turn down
M：Right. And the restaurant is on the corner， next to the Sun Hotel.
W：Next to the Sun Hotel. Good. So see you at...
M：6：30， OK？
W：OK， David. Thank you for your invitation.
M：It's my pleasure.

M：Hi would you like some help？
W：Well， I'm looking for something I saw at a friend's house a few days ago. He said he bought it here. It's a wooden chair in Chinese style.
M：You're in the right store. But all them were sold out last Sunday.
W：Oh， What a pity！ Are you going to be getting more to sell？
M：We're ordering them now. But I have to tell you that the price has gone up.
W：I don't mind. Just my luck. You know I really like it.
M：In the past they were $ 62 each， but the new ones will be 3 dollars more. They will be sent here next Thursday， exactly one week from today.
W：Okay， I'll be back next weekend.
