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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When I was a child, our dining room had two kinds of chairs―two large ones with arm rests and four small ones without. The larger ones stood at the ends of the table, the smaller ones on the sides. Mom and Dad sat in the big chairs, except when one of us was away; then Mom would sit in one of the smaller chairs. Dad always sat at the end, at the “head” of the table. Sitting where he did, Dad was framed by the window through which the yard could be seen with its trees and grass. His chair was not just a place for him at the table; it was a place in which he was situated against the yard and trees. It was the holy (神圣的) and protected place that was his, and ours through him. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
After Dad retired, he and Mom moved out into a small flat. When they came to visit me at their old house, Dad still sat at the end of the table though the table was no longer his but mine. Only with my marriage to Barbara, did I hear a voice questioning the arrangement. She requested, gently but firmly, that I sit at the head of the table in our home. I realized then that I was head of the family, but I also felt unwilling to introduce such a change. How would I feel sitting in that “head” place in my Dad’s presence? And how would he handle it? I was to find out on the occasion of our youngest child’s first birthday.
Mom and Dad arrived for lunch, and went into the dining room. Dad moved toward his usual seat in front of the window. Before he could get around the side of the table, I took a deep breath and said, “Dad, this is going to be your place, next to Mom, on the side.” He stopped, looked at me and then sat down. I felt sad, and angry at Barbara for pushing me to do this. It would have been easy to say, “My mistake, Dad. Sit where you always sit.” But I didn’t.
When he and Mom were seated, Barbara and I took our places. I don’t know how Dad felt. I do know that, though removed from his usual place, he continued to share his best self with us, telling stories of his childhood and youth to the delight of his grandchildren. As I served the food, our lives experienced a change, which we continue to live with.
It wasn’t easy, but I sense that there is also something good in the change which has occurred. I am beginning to learn that “honoring one’s father” is more than the question of which place to occupy at the dining table. It also means listening, wherever we sit and whatever positions we own, to the stories Dad longs to tell. We may then, during these magical moments, even be able to forget about whose chair is whose.
56. Where did the writer’s mother sit when one of the children was away?
A. She didn’t change her chair. B. She moved her own chair next Dad’s.
C. She moved to an empty chair on the side. D. She sat opposite to Dad.
57. How did the writer feel when he told his father to sit on the side?
A. He didn’t feel bad because his father was going to sit there anyway.
B. He felt happy at having carried out the difficult task.
C. He was thoroughly satisfied with the new seating arrangement.
D. He regretted what he had done and wanted to blame his wife.
58. What happened during the meal after the family had all taken their new seats?
A. The writer’s children removed their grandfather from his usual place.
B. The writer’s father didn’t appear to mind where he sat.
C. The writer’s father shared his favorite dishes with the grandchildren.
D. They became tense and nervous about their future as a family.
59. What did the writer learn about “honoring one’s father”?
A. Fathers always long to tell stories about their early years.
B. Providing the right chair is the only way to honor one’s father.
C. Respect for one’s father doesn’t depend only on where he sits.
D. The family should dine together at the same table as often as possible.

We
continue our Foreign Student Series on higher education in the
Dorms come in all sizes. Some have suites. Six or more students may line in one suite. Other dorms have many rooms along a common hallway, usually with two students in each room . Many students say dormitories provide the best chance to get to know other students. Also, dorms generally cost less than apartments or other housing not owned by the school.
Most colleges and universities offer singe-sex dorms, but usually males and females live in the same building. They might live on the same floors and share the same common bathrooms. They may live in the same room only if they are married.
Edward
Spencer is the associate vice president for student affairs at Virginia Tech in
Virginia Tech, for example, had a ban against candles in dorms . But it changed that policy to let students light up candles for religious purposes. The university also has several dorms open all year so foreign students have a place to stay during vacation time.

They
once seemed more at home on the bustling streets of Asia like Delhi, Calcutta
and Bangkok but cycle powered rickshaws (人力车) can now
be seen taking people across town in many European cities. Many people believe
that rickshaws are a good way of experiencing a city, close-up, while also
cutting down on traffic jams and pollution. In
“It is completely environmentally friendly; we have new models with an engine to help the driver up the hills but they use renewable energy.” said a spokesman for VELOTAXI, the leading rickshaw company which has carried a quarter of a million people this year.
While
the city still has 7,000 motor-taxis, rickshaw company officials say their
taxis’ green ethics, speed and safety make them more than just a tourist
attraction. While now increasingly out of fashion in
“It’s
better than a taxi, better than a bus, better than the train,” said ULF Lehman,

Although
increasingly popular in Europe, it is the opposite in

B. He believes they will be of no use.
C. He thinks they will reduce pollution.
D. He thinks they are old-fashioned.

Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people．In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school．
It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America．In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud．It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion．However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community．Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual．Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life．
How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?
There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者)：poets, teachers, and we ourselves．Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem．Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry．Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged．
Poets failed the reader, so did teachers．They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles．
68. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because ．
A. it built a link among people B. it helped unite a community
C. it was a source of self-education D. it was a source of pleasure
69. The underlined word “diversion”(in Para2) most probably means “ ”．
A. concentration B. change C. amusements D. stories
70. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?
A. Students are becoming less interested in poetry．w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
B. Students are poorly educated in high school．
C. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry．
D. Poems have become difficult to understand．
71. In the last paragraph, the writer questions ．
A. the difficulty in studying poems
B. the way poems are taught in school
C. students’ wrong ideas about poetry
D. the techniques used in writing poem

It was 3:
The newly-passed law has left doctors as well as citizens trying to deal with its different meanings. Some have shown satisfaction, others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly fought against the law. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia ― where an aging population, life-extending (延长生命) technology and changing society attitudes have all played their part ― other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia (安乐死). In the US and Canada, where the right-to-die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米诺骨牌) to start falling.
Under the new

A. the disagreement of euthanasia is slow to come in other countries
B. doctors and citizens share the same view on euthanasia

As they sat in a nice 40 shop, he was too nervous to say anything and she felt 41 .
Suddenly, he asked the waiter, “Could you please give me some 42 ? I’d like to put it in my coffee.”
They stared at him. He turned red; but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank. 43 , she asked. “Why salt with coffee?” He explained, “When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing on the sea… I could 44 its taste salty, like salty coffee.

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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
How clever are you? How do we measure intelligence? Where did your intelligence come from? Scientists now believe that our genes strongly influence how our brain develops. We inherit our genes from our parents. In other words, we inherit our intelligence from our parents. This does not mean that we cannot do anything to develop ourselves. Each of us must decide how to use our brains and how to develop our skills.
Scientists have studied sets of identical twins（同卵双胞胎）. They have found that certain areas of the brain are strongly influenced by our parents, and that these areas influence intelligence. Identical twins have almost identical brains. When they did tests, scientists found that identical twins had very similar scores in test with numbers, words, shapes and memory, This was not true with non-identical twins, or brothers and sister; they had great differences in their test scores.
However, our success as adults is not simply a matter of how clever we are. Our ability to work with other people is also important. In addition, our determination, confidence and our courage also play important parts. We may inherit our intelligence from our parents but we must decide how to live our own lives. We cannot blame our parents!
There is one area where our parents can help us. When we are children, they can provide us with a stimulating（起激励作用的）environment in which to live. This will help to develop our brains and develop our confidence. If parents encourage their children to listen to music, to play a musical instrument, to play with puzzles, to draw pictures and to read books, then their children are likely to become more intelligent. Remember that when you become a parent!
56． What idea does the writer mainly want to express in this passage? __________
A. Genes decide how a child will develop in the future.
B. We can do something to change genes we inherit from our parents .
C. Genes play an important but not a key part in how a person develop in his life.
D. Using our brains can improve our genes quite a lot.
57． The underlined word “inherit” in the first paragraph means to “__________”.
A. have qualities, physical features, etc. that are similar to those of your parents.
B. change or be different according to the situation one faces
C. have better quality, physical feature, etc. than that of your parents
D. prevent you having the same character or appearance as your parents
58． In the writer’s opinion, _________.
A. a successful person should be social instead of being clever
B. intelligence is not important for a person’s growing
C. parents should offer more activities to help their children develop
D. children should be taught in the same way their parents were taught
B
Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients(contents) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.
59． All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 EXCEPT __________.
A. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
B. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands
C. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items
D. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands
60． What does the writer think about ads? __________
A. They are believable. B. They are attractive.
C. They are full of misinformation. D. They are helpful to consumers.
61． One of the author’s suggestions to consumers is __________.
A. to make use of ads
B. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch
D. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands
62． The author implies that __________.
A. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy more than you plan to
B. the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively low
C. discount clothing stores are good places to go to
D. ads sometimes don’t tell the truth
C
A letter to Edward, a columnist (报刊专栏作家）
Dear Mr. Expert:
I grew up in an unhappy and abusive (漫骂的) home. I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.
Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine ― so much so that they make mine theirs.
It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.
I enjoy having my friends here sometimes ― it makes the place feel comfortable and warm ― but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy?
Joan
Edward’s reply to Joan
Dear Joan:
If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.
And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere, you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with ― or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.
Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love your company but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over.”
63． We can learn from the first letter that Joan ________.
A. lives away from her parents B. takes pride in her friends
C. knows Mr. Expert quite well D. hates her parents very much
64． We can infer from the first letter that ________.
A. Joan considers her friends more important than her privacy
B. Joan’s friends visit her more often than she can accept
C. Joan doesn’t like the parties at all
D. Joan dislikes the boyfriends her friends bring over
65． According to Mr. Edward, why can’t Joan tell her friends her feelings? __________
A. She is afraid of hurting her friends.
B. She does not understand true friendship.
C. Her family experience stops her from doing so.
D. She does not put her needs first.
66． The underlined word “conflict” in the second letter means________.
A. dependent life B. fierce fight
C. bad manners D. painful feeling
67． The second letter suggests that Mr. Edward ________.
A. is worried about Joan’s problem B. warns Joan not to quarrel with her friends
C. advises Joan on how to refuse people D. encourages Joan to be brave enough
D
“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium (千年), was made up of three parts ―― “The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.
John
Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in
After
graduating from
Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural (乡村的) class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves (侏儒). On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.
One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft (草稿). The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.
It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers ― new and old ― after their publication.
68． What is mainly discussed in the text? __________
A. “The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.
B. A completely new masterwork in the new millennium.
C. A famous professor at
D. The power of the magic ring.
69． What can we learn from the text? __________
A. “The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.
B. People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.
C. Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.
D. Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages
in
70． What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works? __________
A. Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.
B. Hobbit was a local people who were very tall and strong.
C. Hobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.
D. Hobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.
71． Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published? __________
A. One of Tolkien’s students. B. Stanley Unwin’s son.
C. Allen & Unwin. D. Bilbo Baggins.
72． Which of the following shows the right order of Mr. J.R.R.Tolkien’s life experience? _________
a. He had his “The Hobbit” published.
b. He became a member of the Inklings.
c. He served in World WarⅠ.
d. He became an undergraduate at
e. His work “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world.

It is sometimes said that the English are polite people. This can make life difficult for foreigners. Suppose a foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with him and she says, “If I finish my work, I’ll meet you in the cafe at 7 o’clock.” Is she saying “yes” or “no” to his invitation?
In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional structure (表示条件的句式). By using the conditional, speakers of English can avoid giving a “yes” or “no” answer to a question. It enables people to be diplomatic (婉转的). If the girl doesn’t want to go out with the boy, she won’t turn up at the cafe. She will let him understand she is still working. If she wants to go out with him, but doesn’t want to appear too easy to catch, she has achieved that with her reply. But in this case, as she uses the first conditional which shows probability, she is quite likely to turn up at the cafe. Being polite can make life very difficult!
The conditional is often used by people in the news -- politicians, for example -- who wish to avoid speaking out their ideas. This is very important if they are on their way to discuss an agreement. No one wants to give away his or her points before he or she starts. A government spokesman might say to a group of workers, “If we could pay you more, we would.” The use of the conditional here makes room for argument although the speaker is using the second conditional form, which shows improbability. So it is unlikely the workers will get their rise.
“If ” is a small word, which appears often in the English language. It can show politeness, reported speech and conditionals such as the First -- probability -- if I can come to your party, I will; the Second -- improbability -- if I saw you tomorrow, I’d give you the book; and the Third -- impossibility (meaning it is too late to change something that has happened ) -- if you have told me, I would have helped you.
73． The using of the conditional can make a speech _________.
A. clearer B. quicker C. more polite D. more exciting
74． Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? __________
A. Language used in the news should make room to argue.
B. Usually English girls are not easy to catch.
C. English people never speak out their ideas in public.
D. The word “ if ” can show different meanings.
75． In the passage, “If we could pay you more, we would.” probably means __________.
A. the workers will make more money B. the spokesman doesn’t give any promise
C. the spokesman keeps his word D. the workers’ problems aren’t difficult

Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21 st century, but regardless of whether it is or not , we won't do much about it ,We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it , But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem,the less likely they are to be observed.
A I Gore calls global warming an “inconvenient truth,” as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution., But the real truth is that we don't know enough to relieve golbal warming ,and without major technological breakthroughs, we can’t do much about it.
From 2003to 2050, the world’s population is projected to grow from 6.4 billon to 9.1 billion a 42% increase, If energy use per peroson and technology remain the same total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions(排放) (mainly, CO2)will be 42% higher in 2050. But that’s too low, because societise that grow richer use more energy, We need economic growth unless we condemn (使注定) the world’s poor to their present.
Poverty can freeze everyone else’s living standards. With modest growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050.
No government will adopt strict restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom(limits on electrictiy usage, driving and travel ) that might cut back global warming , Still , politicians want to show they’re “doing something “, Consier the Kyoto Protocol(京都议定书). It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn’t But it hasn’t reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990),and many singnatories(签字国)didn’t adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets.
The practical conclusin is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is new techonlogy, Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it .
The trouble with th global warming debate is that it has become a moral problem when it’s really an engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we don't’t slove the engineering problem. we’re helpless.

A，It may not prove an environraental crisis at all．
B．It is an issue requiting world wide commitments．

A politicians have started to do something to better the situation
B few nations have adopted real tough measures to limit energy use
C reductions in energy consumption have greatly cut back global warming
D international cooperation have greatly cut back global warming
74.What is the message the author intends to convey?
A Global warming is more of a moral issue than a practical one.
B The final solution to global warming lies in new technology
C The debate over golbal warming will lead to technological breakthroughs
D People have to give up centain material comforts to stop golbal warming
