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.

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

As a result of such increase in the expenses on housing and food, expenses on other items have been reduced from 57% in 1998 to 28%in 2008.
Thus, a conclusion can be drawn that as income increases, people can improve their living step. But still the average family has to spend a large part of income to meet the basic needs.

Where is my home?
Some fish are forced to leave polluted water and are flying in the sky. But unfortunately, air is also so polluted that they have to wear masks. Each of them is crying, “Where is my home?” What a terrible sight!
Mankind has brought so much pollution. Waste is being poured into rivers and seas. Poisons to kill pests in farming and chemicals go into rivers and seas, too. Poisonous gasses from factories also make the air so dirty. The whole balance of nature is being destroyed as a result of our ignorance of the environmental protection.
Personally, man can not live alone on the earth. Should fish die from serious pollution, so would man! It is high time we did something to prevent such a scene from happening.

Recently I have made an investigation on whether a model-test paper for Senior Three should be difficult or easy．Opinions are divided on this matter．
Some students think that a difficult exam is just like a challenge．The harder, the better．It can help students find out where they are weak in studies and improve their learning approaches.
Others，however，are against a difficult exam．In their opinion，if it is very difficult，they may become discouraged and feel terrible about the coming College Entrance Examination．Besides，with an easy exam，they can get high marks and gain confidence．
I prefer it to be neither too difficult nor too easy, because if it is too easy, teachers will not know how we are getting on with our studies, but if it is too difficult, we will lose heart

However, a certain number of graduates are not in a hurry to hunt for jobs. They are just waiting for better chances. Toward this point of view, some experts warn that it is not wise to be just waiting. They advise that graduates should find a regular, full-time job as quickly as possible so that they can earn money to support themselves and get working experience, which will help to find a better position later.

Time seems to speed up as soon as the students step into their final and vital year．The college entrance examination is approaching day by day．Quite a few students have moved out from their dormitories to live in a rented room near the school to make every minute count．
It cannot be denied that they have their own time schedule after classes and easily concentrate on lessons alone in their small room．What’s important，with their morns taking care of them，they can spare more time for studies．However，there exist some disadvantages．For example，sometimes their minds go wandering easily without competitors round．Furthermore，a student who is left alone to study at rather an easy atmosphere tends to get distracted or even feel tired easily．
In spite of the fact that the dorm life is full of fun and friendship，noisy songs and shouts in the dorms after evening classes only quiet down long after the blackout at 10：30 p. m.，leading to a serious lack of sleep，I think．Worse still，they don’t make fullest use of time to study so，from my perspective．I prefer to live in the rented room．

Yuanmingyuan, “Garden of all gardens”, was burnt and fell into ruins in 1860． Recently my classmates had a discussion about whether it should be rebuilt or not.
Supporters of rebuilding the garden say only by doing so can we see the original sight of the garden, which reflects the Chinese civilization. And it will be another place of interest for tourists. If partly rebuilt, it will provide a comparison and help us remember the history.
Those who disagree think it more reasonable to
keep the garden like this. The ruins will remind us of the past. We should

Good afternoon, everyone!
The topic of my speech today is “My Attitude to Pursuit of Fashion in School”.
Now in our school there is a hot pursuit of fashion. Some students live a very expensive life. They have the same hairstyles as their favorable stars and wear top brand of clothes and shoes. Some use expensive mobile phones.
The reasons why they do so are as follows. Firstly, they hope to look smart and special. Secondly, they want to win others’ admiration and respect. In addition, it makes them feel cool .
As far as I am concerned, we students should hold the right sense of values. We should practice thrift in our daily life because it is one of our Chinese traditional virtues. What’s more , it is advisable for us to donate some pocket money to the Hope Project so that those poor children in rural areas can return to school to receive normal education. Last but not least, it is the inner beauty rather than our appearance that makes us respectable.
Thank you for listening!

Don't worry, be happy and, according to a new research, you will also be healthy.
It is estimated that over the course of one year, Americans suffer 1 billion colds. But a new research shows that all it may take to avoid this common affliction is a positive and upbeat attitude.
People who are energetic, happy and relaxed are less likely to catch a cold than those who are depressed, nervous or angry, finds a new study published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine.
Healthy volunteers first underwent an emotional assessment in which they were asked to rate their tendency to experience positive and negative emotions--how often they felt pleased, relaxed, happy, or anxious, depressed and hostile. Then some little viruses that causes colds were dropped on the volunteers' noses. Researchers then watched the volunteers to see who came down with a cold.
"We found
that people who regularly experience positive emotions, when exposed to
rhinovirus, are relatively protected from developing illness," said Dr.
Sheldon Cohen, lead author of the study and a psychology professor at
Although positive people showed a greater resistance to colds, negative people did not necessarily get sick more often.
So how can your emotions influence your health? In simple terms, when the brain is "happy" it sends messages to our organs that help keep the body healthy and sound.
"It's like a drug that is released by your state of mind and simply changing the state of mind can produce effects on the rest of the body through the nervous system and hormones," said Dr. Neil Shulman, author of Doc Hollywood. "Your chance of developing the common cold, pneumonia, or even cancer may very well be decreased by keeping your brain in a healthy state."
In addition, happy and relaxed people are more likely to take better health practices than those are negative and stressed. They more often get plenty of sleep and engage in regular exercise, and have lower levels of certain stress hormones.
Shulman says the study shows there are some simple things you can do to improve your chances of staying healthy.
"The take-home message is that we have very healthy ways that we can improve our overall well-being that don't cost money and that don't require a wait in the doctor's office," he said.
55. According to the passage, the underlined word "affliction" is closest in meaning to " ".
A. illness B. medicine C. pleasure D. condition
56. Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why a happy man stands a slighter chance of catching a cold?
A. A happy man' s brain can produce beneficial effects.
B. A happy man is more likely to take drugs in time.
C. A happy man has lower levels of harmful hormones.
D. A happy man is more likely to do healthy exercises.
57. The proper title for this passage should be __ .
A. Laziness Is the Root of All Evil
B. Happiness Lies First of All in Health
C. The First Wealth Is Health
D. A Light Heart Lives Long
58. The purpose of the author writing the passage is to __ .
A. urge people to keep a positive attitude to life
B. tell people how to keep a positive attitude to life
C. introduce some effective ways of staying healthy
D. show the difference between the positive people and the negative

There's something so sweet about a new year. No matter how many times I' ve seen that ball drop, I'm not immune to the excitement that comes with the chance to start over. To change. For as many times as we heard the word in 2008, 2009 is the year to do something about it. The weather outside is unquestionably frightful, but maybe it' s grown dark enough for us to see the silvery opportunities around those gray clouds.
Late November I
was in
I traveled from
my home in
The news was horrible. A huge fire had broken out near my house. The Santa Ana winds(魔鬼风) was blowing particularly wildly, the whole town was in flames. Ryan phoned to ask what to take from the house for me. In the face of disaster and with no time to prepare, how do I choose'?. What do I take? Within a few minutes all we have may disappear.
With thoughts of New Orleans stirred up from the book reading, there I sat, on the brink(边缘) of losing everything. "It's so ironic(讽刺的)," I said to myself.
I realize those who lost everything are likely feeling anything but calm, anything but comfort. These days people are losing their jobs, their homes. Corporations, industries are going under. Everything we thought was secure isn't. Everything we thought we knew about the economy, security, our very way of life, might be wrong.
Strangely, during that night in San Francisco, it wasn't panic behind my paralysis(无能为力). It was something closer to its opposite, something more like calm. And beneath it is the comforting realization that nothing is permanent.
That moment had something to teach me. And maybe the gift of disaster, of floods, of fires, of unprecedented(空前的) economic crisis, is the opportunity to start over- and to do it differently.
59. In the first paragraph, the author wrote about the weather to __ .
A. show the signs of a coming disaster
B. show how she was feeling at the time
C. refer to the present depressing situation
D. describe what the weather was like before the big fire
60. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.
B.
C. Submerged is the name of a book which was written by the author.
D.
A. Her hope for the future.
B. Her despair after losing everything.
C. Her husband's panic in face of a disaster.
D. Her quick transfer from a help giver to the homeless.
62. What does the author intend to tell the readers in this passage?
A. How serious the situation was in the past year.
B. Tough as the situation may be, we shouldn't lose heart.
C. We should feel anything but calm in face of big disasters.
D. It is understandable that we were frightened in face of such a big crisis.

Dickson
Despommier, a public health professor at
This vertical(垂直的) farm, or "farmscraper", could have space for restaurants and other places that serve food, like schools or hospitals. They could serve foods that are truly locally grown..
But/file:///E:\cooco.net.cn\docfiles\down\test\down\%25&Ovr2\569134cfff13d9717cfa25a4bfb4b912.zip\66082\湖北省荆州市2009届高中毕业班质量检查(Ⅱ)\湖北省荆州市2009届高中毕业班下学期质量检查（Ⅱ）（英语）.files\image003.jpg)
why would anyone want to build a farm
indoors in a city? Dickson Despommier believes it will become necessary. The
world needs to find places to produce enough food to feed the growing
population. Space, he says, is an all-important issue.
The professor also points to the problems of traditional farms. They use a lot of freshwater. Their fertilizer and animal waste can pollute water resources. And their growing seasons can be limited.
But inside the vertical farm, crops could grow all year. And there would be no wind to blow away soil. Farmers would not have to worry about too much or too little rain, or about hot summers, freezing winters or insects. And without insects there would be no need for chemicals to kill them.
Farm machines that .use fossil fuels, like tractors, would not be needed either. And water could be recycled for drinking. "The vertical farm reuses everything, so there is no waste," says Professor Despommier.
Even buildings could be saved. Old buildings could become new farms and provide jobs.

Romantic comedies have long been regarded as the perfect movie for a first date. But according to a study, romantic comedies such as Bridget Jones's Diary and Notting Hill could be bad for your love life.
Rather than being harmless entertainment, 'rom-corns' give people unrealistic -- and potentially unhealthy -- expectations about real-life relationships, scientists say.
Researchers found that those who watched romantic comedies were more likely to believe in predestined love (缘份) than those who preferred other kinds of movie.
They were also more
likely to believe that perfect relationships happen instantly, and were less
likely to believe that couples need to work
at relationships.
Watching just one romantic comedy is enough to sway people' s attitudes to romanfc love, they found.
Dr Bjarne Holmes, who led the research, said: "We are not being killjoys -- we are not saying that people shouldn't watch these movies. But we are saying that it would be helpful if people were more aware and more critical of the messages in these films. The problem is that while most of us know that the idea of a perfect relationship is unrealistic, some of us are still more influenced than we realize."
For the first
part of the study, Dr Holmes and colleagues at the Family and Personal
Relationships Laboratory at
Most of those comedies described couples falling instantly in love and promoted the idea of fate --the belief that there is just one perfect companion out there, they found.
"There's a belief of destiny and couples in romantic comedies immediately understand each other,"said Dr Holmes. "If you think that's how things are, you are setting yourself up to be disappointed."
In a second study, Dr Holmes asked around 100 student volunteers to watch Serendipity -- the 2001 romantic comedy starring Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack, while 100 watched a David Lynch drama.
In a questionnaire after the film ended, students watching the rom-com were far more likely to believe in fate and destiny than those who had watched the 'straight' film.
67. According to the passage if you are fond of watching romantic comedies, you ____.
A. are more likely to believe in future love
B. are more likely to be influenced by films
C. may expect a perfect relationship in your love life
D. may fall instantly in love with one of your classmates
68. The underlined word "destiny" most probably means __ .
A. fate B. love C. beauty D. romance
69. The purpose of Dr Bjame Hohnes' research is __ .
A. to promote the idea of fate
B. to ask us to keep away from romantic comedies
C. to show how romantic comedies have influence on our life
D. to remind us of the negative effect of watching romantic comedies
70. It is implied in the passage that .
A. watching comedies is harmful to a stable marriage
B. it is necessary for couples to work at their relationship
C. couples falling instantly in love end up with an unhappy marriage
D. we should watch more 'straight' films instead of romantic comedies
