　　When did you last see a polar bear？On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club．These “Polar Bears”people meet frequently in the winter swam in freezing cold water．That day the air temperature was 3 degrees．And the water temperature was a little higher．The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60．Members must satisfy two requirements．First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group; this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club．Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February．

　　Doctors don’t agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming．Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body’s temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops beating．Other doctors, however, point out that there is a greater danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and the water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter．

　　The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming．They say their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm．Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water．A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and could not try cold-water swimming．

　　The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental．The Polar Bears love to swim all the year round．They find it fun and relaxing．As one 70-year-old woman says, “When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away．”

第二部分阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
A
China news, Beijing, Feb. 9 – Housing price in China has always aroused heated discussions among property developers and ordinary Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is still low compared with many developed countries. However, the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000 yuan per square meter, while in China, it is even higher than in the United States. This shows that there are some bubbles(泡沫) in Chinese real estate (房地产) market, the International Finance News reported.
Although the average price of residential houses in the United States, after converted to Renminbi, is about 8,000 yuan per square meter, the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. If US property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. In most big Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US.
The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles. Moreover, Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. Furthermore, it should be noted that American people’s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people. How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in US?
At the beginning of 2007, Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. Now in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can regulate (控制) the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans and lands to property developers. At the same time, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels, such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. By applying these multiple means, it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered.
56．Which of the following does NOT support the idea that the average housing price in China is        even higher than in the United States?
A．Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities.
B．American people’s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese        people.
C．The houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property        developers do when they sell their houses.[来源:学&科&网]
D．There are more people who need houses in China than in the United States.
57．What is the main idea of this passage?
A．The Chinese government should do something to control the housing price.
B．There are some bubbles in Chinese real estate market.
C．The average housing price in China is even higher than in the United States.
D．The Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public.
58．How many measures are mentioned in the last paragraph in order to reduce the high housing prices?    A．Four      B．Three       C．Five                    D．Two

 

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题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。

WHAT can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough．A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you'll earn later．

The idea that popularity could have a serious influence on one's earning potential shouldn't come as too much of a surprise．The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work．

"If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations," said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding．" Also, friends always help each other．They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you are occasionally in low spirits," said Xu．She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary”．

Maybe that's why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism （交友狂症）?A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook's 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts．

But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency?

" Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing．It seems, however, ．that this is no longer the definition of ' friend'," said Meghan Daum, who works with The Los Angeles Times in the US．

Daum dislikes the idea that quantity trumps quality in the age of friendaholism．She thought the idea of friendship, at least among the growing population of Internet social networkers, was to get as many of not-really -friends as possible．For example, a friend might be someone you might know personally but who could just as easily be the friend of a friend of some other Facebook friend you don't actually know．Although she agreed that social ties grease （润滑） the wheels of life, she also warned, "Too bad one thing money can't buy is a real friend．"

56．What can friends do in the eyes of Xu Yanchun?

         A．They can help you with your schoolwork．

         B．They teach you how to make more money．

         C．They introduce their friends to you．

         D．They help you to get rid of sadness and cheer up．

57．What will be needed if you are to achieve success according to the researchers?

         A．Social skills, friends, good mood and fortune．

         B．Social skills, talent, hard work and the facebook．

         C．Social skills, networking, potential and fortune．

         D．Social skills, networking, talent and hard work．

58．We learn that Meghan Daum's attitude towards friends-is somewhat____．

         A．up-to-date             B．traditional        C．confused    D．optimistic

59．What does the word "trumps" in the last paragragh mean?

         A．is worse than          B．is equal to C．is better than        D．is similar to
