But in fact, five minutes later, they have 37 it ever happened.” The other day when I came across these words in an article, I didn’t agree with the 38 .
The author thinks the best thing to do in this kind of 39 is to pretend nothing has happened, and so avoid 40 trouble.
I admit that we should keep 41 because “Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while your 42 can let them forget it.” But this is far from satisfactory. We should do 43 to make things better.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)
第一节 阅读下面的短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Dear SJ,
Losing a best friend is never easy.
Your problem is not just that you miss your best friend; it is that you feel empty and lost without her friendship.
It takes time to get over a lost, and during that time, your mind is getting used to a new way of being. This is usually a good thing, even if it feels like a bad thing.
Now that you are on your own, you are being forced to learn to be by yourself and to rely upon your own inner voice for guidance. I am sure that this feels strange for you, but if you can hang on for a bit longer, it may work to your advantage.
Best friends are cool, but it is important to know the difference between missing someone and being too dependent upon them.
At your age, girls do tend to stick together and having a good boyfriend may not yet be the better choice. Your friend is leaving you, her best friend, for a boyfriend. Boyfriends are completely different from best friends. The difference is that boyfriends come and go, while girl friends often stay in your life throughout high school, and even afterwards. It is a completely different sort of relationship.
I suggest that you take advantage of this period in your life to expand your horizons. Enjoy the freedom of having no best friend for a while, and hang with the group. By the time your former best friend breaks up with her boyfriend, you will be in a completely different place, a far better place.
And, by the way, next time you feel empty and lost, try to write about it in a diary. In several months, you will look back and read it with curiosity about yourself. “Who was I then, and what could I have been thinking?”
56. Judging from the letter, SJ’s problem was that she didn’t know ______.
A. whether to give up her best friend B. what to do without her best friend
C. whom to choose between two friends D. how to stop missing her former friend
57. The underlined part “a new way of being” (in Paragraph 3) refers to the situation in which SJ has to ________.
A. find a new friendship B. live without her boyfriend
C. learn to give up D. learn to be independent
58. The writer believes by the time SJ’s former friend loses her boyfriend, SJ will ______.
A. take revenge(报复) on her former friend
B. comfort her former friend
C. feel more independent and confident
D. continue friendship with her former friend
59. What does the last paragraph seem to suggest?
A. Unhappy experiences are easy to forget.
B. Keeping a diary helps correct oneself.
C. SJ will get over her problem soon.
D. One shouldn’t forget the past experiences.
B
We now think of chocolate as sweet, but once it was bitter. We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it is part of the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers.
Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say “Ugh!” and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.
The word “chocolate”
comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in

Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture. This process begins with the “honeymoon stage”. This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. We may be suffering from “jet lag” but we are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food. This stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are involved in some kind of great adventure.
Unfortunately, the second stage can be more difficult. After we have settled down into our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to rejecting or pulling away from the new culture.
The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”. This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. Your sense of humour usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor!
The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. You can cope(deal) with most problems that occur. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.
64. This passage mainly talks about ________.
A. culture and foreign language learning B. adventures in a foreign land
C. getting used to a new culture D. the interaction of different cultures
65. Which of the following best describes the first stage?
A. Lonely and depressed B. Bored and homesick
C. Happy and excited D. Angry and frustrated
66. According to the passage, people are most likely to return to their own culture at the ________ stage.
A. 1st B. 2nd C. third D. fourth
67. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.
A. people feel better in their own culture
B. it is not easy to adapt to a new culture
C. culture shock doesn’t occur at the beginning
D. it is human nature to long for adventures

How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural
environments-mostly for entertainment purposes-is fair and respectful?
Zoo officials
say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections”
of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats(栖息地). Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely,
and far from their natural homes.
Zoos claim(声称) to educate people and save endangered species(物种), but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about
the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in
small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and
natural range(分布区). The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed
because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.
The animals are
kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for
mental and physical exercise. This results in unusually and self-destructive
behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that
zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study
showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head
movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking
back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.
Furthermore, most animals in zoos
are not endangered. Captive breeding(圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats. Asian elephants, and other species has not
resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their
captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a
species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying
customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?
Actually,
we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end
to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support
groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.
63.How would the author describe the animals’ life in
zoos?
A. Dangerous. B. Unhappy. C. Natural. D. Easy.
64.In the state of zoochosis, animals _________.
A. remain in
cages B. behave strangely
C. attack other
animals D. enjoy moving around
65.What does the author try to argue in the passage?
A. Zoos are not worth the public support.
B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.
C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings.
D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.
66.Although he argues against zoos, the author would
still agree that __________.
A. zoos have to keep animals in small cages
B. most animals in zoos are endangered species
C. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos
D. it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their
habitats
(D)
About ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.
He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and ― WHUMP! ― it hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH...!!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!" Building up a head of steam, he went on. "That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna (going to) cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?"
"Please, mister, please....I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do!" begged the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop!" tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the parked car. "It’s my brother, mister," he said. "He rolled of the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up. "Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman," Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.
Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE ― a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.
67. The boy threw a brick at the businessman’s car because ________.
A. the businessman drove at a high speed
B. he envied the brand-new car very much
C. he wanted to ask for some money
D. he wanted to get help from the driver
68. Which of the following is the right order of the story?

c. The younger brother begged Josh for help.
d. Josh lifted the elder brother back into his wheelchair.
e. Josh shouted at the younger brother.
A. b, a, e, c, d B. a, c, d, b, e C. b, a, c, e, d D. a, c, b, e, d
69. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Josh would accept the money from the kids.
B. The two kids were Josh’s neighbors.
C. Josh was a kind-hearted man.
D. Josh’s new car broke down easily.
70. According to the passage, the last sentence means ________.

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A ? F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. The growing use of navigation computers in cars
B. The instruction of the system
C. Determining the car’s position by the time required for a signal to travel
D. Determining the car’s position by the satellite signals
E. The convenience of navigation computers
F. The working manner of navigation computers
71.
Navigation computers, now sold by most car ? makers, cost $ 2,000 and up. No surprise, then, that they are most often found in luxury cars, like Lexus, and Audi. But it is a developing technology ? meaning prices should eventually drop market does seem growing.
72.
Even at current prices, a navigation computer is impressive. It can guide you from point to point in most major cities with precise turn ? by ? turn directions spoken by a clear human ? sounding voice, and written on a screen in front of the driver.
73.
The computer woks an antenna that takes signals from no fewer than three of the 24 global positioning system (GPS) satellites. By measuring the time required for a signal to travel between the satellites and the antenna, the car’s location can be pinned down within 200 meters.
74.
The satellite signals, along with inputs on speed from a wheel ? speed sensor and direction from a meter, determine the car’s position even as it moves. This information is combined with a map database. Street, landmarks and points of interest are included.
75.
Most system are basically the same. The differences come in hardware ? the way the computer accepts the driver’s request for directions and the way it presents the driving instructions. On most systems, a driver enters a desired address, motorway junction or point of interest by a torch screen or disc. But the Lexus screen goes a step further: you can point to any spot on the map screen and get directions to it.
