第三局部:阅读理解阅读如下短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最优选项。
〔共15小题;每一小题2分,总分为30分〕
〔A〕
It’s not easy growing up. Growing up can be a real “pain〞 for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren’t allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel sad, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. But we should take a look back on all the hardships (苦难) in life with a positive attitude and learn from them. We should realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!
Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains, but we should never let these obstacles keep us from following our dreams. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time.
As a young girl, my parents forced me to do so many things that I didn’t like. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music and I also hated them. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched (丰富) my life in so many ways. I now realize that my parents and teachers wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.
We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just part of our life. Think about how we would feel if we had no challenges and lived a life like that. Life would be really boring and meaningless. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps (碰撞) on our road to success, we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!
56. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. No pains, no gains
B. Growing pains and gains
C. Growing up is a pain
D. Growing up is easy
57. The underlined word “obstacles〞 (in Paragraph 2) refers to things that _____.
A. make it easy for you to do sth
B. make it difficult for you to do sth
C. make you happy
D. make you full of energy
58. What does the author now think about what her parents did for her in the past?
A. She is angry with them.
B. She is dissatisfied with them.
C. She is thankful to them.
D. She couldn’t forgive them.
59. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Growing pains are part of our life.
B. Our growing pains will finally turn into growing gains.
C. We should stop when facing many challenges.
D. Life without challenges is boring and meaningless.
〔B〕
People are overweight for many reasons, the most important one of which is that they eat the wrong foods, get the wrong types of calories per meal, and they also eat meals at the wrong time each day. Food is more powerful than any weight loss pill, because the food that you eat can either make you thin or fat. This is true because your body is like an engine, and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals (间隔) each day.
Low-calorie Diets Do Not Work
The reason people cannot lose weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism(新陈代谢)will detect any major drop in calories and it will then adjust(调整)itself by burning fewer calories each day. That is the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight, while your friends can eat 2, 500 calories per day and not gain any weight.
Low-fat Diets Do Not Work
Many people in today’s society are buying mostly low- fat or non-fat food at the grocery store. Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy. However, people are getting fatter than ever before by doing this. They are not losing weight by changing to this low-fat lifestyle.
Losing weight has nothing to do with these things. One of the most important things you can do to control your weight is to eat the proper foods, such as fruit and vegetables, eat them at the right time, and exercise every day. If people make this a habit, they will lose weight.
60. What is the main reason why people are overweight according to the author?
A. They eat the wrong foods at the wrong time.
B. They eat food with lots of calories.
C. They don’t take any weight loss pills.
D. They burn many calories every day.
61. The article is written in order to _______.
A. tell readers not to buy low-fat or non-fat food
B. tell readers how to lose weight
C. tell readers about an important scientific discovery
D. call on people to lose weight and stay healthy
62. To realize the aim of your weight loss plan, you should ________.
a. do exercise every day
b. eat meals at the right time
c. eat fruits and vegetables
d. eat low-fat or sweet food
e. eat the proper foods at each meal
A. a, b, c, d
B. a, b, d, e
C. a, c, d, e
D. a, b, c, e
〔C〕
We all have fond memories of taking a few lazy months off after the stress of A-levels. So now that summer has arrived, let’s take full advantage. It goes without saying that summer vacations are the perfect time to go traveling.
Tickets go up greatly when you turn 26, so make the most of cheaper rates while you’re eligible.
Overseas volunteering won’t amaze future employers, but it can be very useful. Finding a reliable (可靠的) company that won’t cheat you is important, as is discovering a program that interests you. There are plenty of websites where you can see other people’s suggestions.
Of course for most of us, money is tight. To avoid overspending you can combine employment and vacation. Hannah Warn, a psychology (心理学) student at the University of Winchester, is spending her summer at Camp America where students enjoy a good time on a summer camp. “Being thrown into something where I don’t really know what to expect is exciting,〞she says. “It gives me a chance to experience being away from home in a different way.〞
Those with a talent for languages might also consider working abroad as an au pair (互惠工人). The work may be a chance to involve yourself in a new culture while your employer pays most of the bill.
If you have an idea of the sort of career you’d like, getting work experience is wise. In many careers, graduating with only your degree to show for your three or four years ju st won’t make it. Send applications (申请) off early and to as many places as possible. Make sure you take a well-earned break this summer.
63. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. students who quit school will pay more for travel
B. students may enjoy lower-price tickets when traveling
C. students should have a longer summer vacation than ever
D. students will be offered part-time jobs during the vacation
64. The underlined part “you’re eligible〞in Para. 2 can best be replaced by “_____〞.
A. you have more free time
B. you’re tired of school life
C. you enjoy traveling a lot
D. you’re of the right age
65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the example of Hannah Warn?
A. Camp America offers jobs to students.
B. Psychology students are good at saving money.
C. Students had better choose a camp related to their future job.
D. A camp is a good place to combine employment and vacation.
66. According to the passage, who is more likely to get a job after graduation?
A. John, who got excellent academic records during his university years.
B. Lily, who worked abroad as an au pair during summer vacations.
C. Tom, who got working experience related to his future job in college.
D. Mary, who got a degree after studying four years in a famous university.
〔D〕
On Friday, June 20th, 29 dogs along with their owners came to Santa Rosa, California. They came there to take part in an unusual competition—one that seeks out and honors the World’s Ugliest Dog. Now in its 26th year, the competit ion is one of the biggest attractions at the annual Sonoma County Fair.
Among the leading competitors were Cupcake, who was adopted (收养) from a local dog rescue center in January and Shorty, who would have been put to death if its owner, Jason, wasn’t kind enough to pick it up. Also competing was 11-year-old veteran Grovie. Described by his owner as short and funny, the Chinese pug is a local resident who has taken part in this contest several times. Then there was 2002 “World’s
Ugliest Dog〞and “Ring of Ch ampions〞 winner, Rascal. The 7lbs naturally hairless dog with very few teeth comes from an impressive background (背景). His grandfather, Chi Chi, holds the Guinness World Record for winning the title “World’s Ugliest Dog〞 seven times!
But all these impressi vely “ugly〞dogs had no chance against Peanut. The two-year-old dog was badly burnt in a fire which caused him to lose his lips, most of his body hair and eyelids. Besides winning the title, $1,500 USD in cash and a large trophy (奖杯), the first time winner also enjoyed an all-expenses-paid trip to New York City where he made scheduled appearances on the Today Show and the Jimmy Kimmel Show.
The competition is a great way to honor these dogs, many of whom get their unusual looks because of human abuse (虐待). But most importantly, it raises awareness about their adoption by showing the world that ugliness does not prevent dogs from becoming very loving pets.
67. Who play the biggest role in the competition mentioned in Para. 1?
A. The dog owners who are good at keeping dogs.
B. The people who have adopted dogs.
C. The dogs that have unusual skills.
D. The dogs that look very ugly.
68. It can be inferred that Jason adopted Shorty probably because he _____.
A. thought Shorty would win the competition
B. loved Shorty’s appearance very much
C. didn’t want Shorty to be homeless
D. didn’t want Shorty to be killed
69. What can we learn from Rascal’s impressive background?
A. He comes from a family of ugly dogs.
B. Most of his family members are well-known.
C. His grandfather had won the competition seven times.
D. Seven of his family members had won the competition.
70. According to the last paragraph, the competition wants to _____.
A. show that not all people are kind to dogs
B. call on people to adopt ugly dogs
C. tell people that loving pets usually don’t look good
D. warn people not to judge dogs by appearances

请认真阅读如下短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填1个单词。
Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.〞 However , their spoken English does not have to rem ain “poor〞! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand (增加,扩大) their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY〔流利〕NOT ACCURACY〔准确〕. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter because the person
you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth, most Chinese students are passive rather than(而不是)active language learners. Instead of actively take opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.
Title: (71) ______ with spoken English
You have to (73)your vocabulary
(75) and nervousness make it easy to
make mistakes.
More attention should be(76) to fluency.
Being passive (78) of
You should make (80) of all being active.
opportunities to improve your spoken English.
