This is my third story.When I was 17，I read a quote

someday you’ll most certainly be right.”Since then，for the past thirty­three years，I’ve looked__38__the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life，would I want to do what I am about to do today？”And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a__39__，I know I need to change something.

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。

A
Microwaves may be great at warming up food，but what about warming people?
Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture.And despite popular ideas about microwaves，this technique would be safe，according to Charles R.Buffler of the Microwave Research Center in Marlborough，New Hampshire.Low­power microwaves only penetrate(贯穿) the skin (low­power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches，for example) and with no negative effects.
To test this idea，Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500­watt,2,459 MHz magnetron(磁控管).He found that
a person will start to feel warmth at about 20 milliwatts per square centimeter(mw./sq.cm.)；a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50 mw./sq.cm.By comparison，a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85 mw./sq.cm.And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1,000 mw./sq.cm.
“In houses of the future，each room could be provided with its own magnetron，”says Buffler.When you stepped into the living room，for example，a motion detector(运动感应器) would turn on the magnetron，filling the room with low­power microwaves.In the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hamburger，but not the plate it’s on，you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table.(You could，however，make your favourite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation­absorbing chemical.) While it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole­body microwave heaters in houses，Buffler says microwaves may attract livestock(家畜) mbs that are born outdoors in winter，for example，are frequently lost to cold.Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.
56.Which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage?
A.A new heating system.
B.A new microwave oven.
C.A popular technique.
D.The magnetron.
57.According to Paragraph 2，which of the following does NOT describe the characteristics of a microwave heater?
A.It directly heats people in a room.
B.It heats walls and furniture in a room.
C.It is safe.
D.It saves energy.
58.The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels
comfortable warmth，he receives about ________.
A.20 mw./sq.cm.
B.40 mw./sq.cm.
C.60 mw./sq.cm.
D.85 mw./sq.cm.
59.According to Paragraph 4，which of the following fills the room with low­power microwaves?
A.The magnetron.
B.The motion detector.
C.The microwave oven.
D.The radiation­absorbing ch emical.

Thank you.President Bok，former President Rudenstine，incoming President Faust，members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers，members of the faculty，parents，and especially，the graduates.
I want to thank Harvard for this honor.I’ve be en waiting for more than 30 years to say this，“Dad，I always told you I’d come back and get my degree.” I’ll be changing my job next year，and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume.I guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class.I did the best of everyone who failed.
I applaud the graduates for taking a much more direct route to your degrees.For my part，I’m just happy that the Crimson called me “Harvard’s most successful dropout”.
But taking a serious look back，I do have one big regret，I left Harvard with no real awareness of the awful inequities(不公正) in the world.I learned a lot here at Harvard about new ideas in economics and politics.I got great exposure to the advances being made in the sciences.But humanity’s greatest a dvances are not in its discoveries—but in how those discoveries are applied to reduce inequity.Whether through democracy，strong public education，quality health care，or broad economic opportunity，reducing inequity is the highest human achievement.
I left campus knowing little about the millions of young people cheated out of educational opportunities here in this country.And I knew nothing about the millions of people living in unspeakable poverty and disease in developing countries.It took me decades to find out.
You graduates came to Harvard at a different time.You know more about the world’s inequities than the classes that came before.In your years here，I hope you’ve had a chance to think about how，in this age of accelerating technology，we can finally take on these inequities，and we can solve them.
Now，this task is open­ended.It can never be finished.But a conscious effort to answer this challenge can change the world.Yes，inequity has been with us forever，but the new tools we have to cut through complexity have not been with us forever.They are new.They can help us make the most of our caring—and that’s why the future can be different from the past.The defining and ongoing innovations of this age—biotechnology，the personal computer，and the Internet give us a chance we’ve never
had before to end extreme poverty and end death from preventable disease.
60.Who is the speaker of the article?
A.A Harvard graduate.
B.A dropout’s parent.
C.A fresh student in Harvard.
D.A principle.
61.What did the speaker learn while he was in the university 30 years ago?
A.Approaches to solving poverty.
B.Economic and political discrimination.
C.Advances in science.
D.New ways to change the world.
62.What could be the best title of the passage?
A.Humanity’s greatest advance
B.Ha rvard’s most successful dropout
C.Inequity in the USA
D.The best student in Harvard
63.Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Humanity’s greatest advances are in its discoveries.
B.There is no way to make any change about the inequity in the world.
C.The graduates now know more about the world than those before.
D.The new discoveries help us relieve inequity and poverty.

Travel doesn’t have to be expensive.
A young couple named Xiexie and Caicai has proved it by visiting 18 Asian countries on a budget of 40,000 yuan.But when they broke the news on Sina Weibo last week，many people didn’t seem to believe them.“It couldn’t be true，”said a microblogger named Uncle Fox on Sina Weibo.“I just don’t buy it.”
Well，the truth is that there are s mart ways to see the world.Let’s explore some unconventional ways of travelling.
House sitting
A surprising number of householders worldwide will let you live in their homes for free while they are away.
And it is completely one­way—you don’t have to offe r your house in exchange.
You need to help take care of their pets and plants making sure that everything runs smoothly just as if the owner were at home.
To become a house sitter，you can go to or to register for membership，which sometimes requires a small fee.
After that，you can search for house sitting assignments and contact house owners by email.
If the householder is interested，you’ll get an interview，probably by phone.And you’ll have to sign copies of house sitting agreement before you get the key to the house.
Laboring on a farm
This is a way to learn about sustainable living and meet local farmers.In return for volunteer work on organic farms，your hosts offer free food and accommodation.You usually work for at least four hours a day and tasks range from composting to building with mud bricks.Willing Workers On Organic Farms() is a platform offering worldwide opportunities to help on organic farms.
Free accommodation and free meals are provided in return for hours of work on the farm.
And you don’t need a working visa，as no money exchanges hands.
You can contact the WWOOF office in the country that you wish to visit.After paying a membership fee(which varies from country to country)，you’ll get a list of WWOOF hosts in that area and what they are looking for.
Other resources for work­trade agreements：Help Exchange()；Work Away().
Hostel Voluntourism
Would you be willing to volunteer a half­day of your v acation in order to get 50 percent off the cost of your dormroom?
Many hostels around the world offer voluntourism packages which provide room discounts or free meals to guests who will participate in volounteering programs.
For example，Crested Butte International Lodge& Hostel in North America offers special discounts for volunteers who will help with the USA Pro Cycling Challenge on August 23 and 24.
Hostel Voluntourism is the perfect alternative for travellers who don’t like the idea of staying in a stranger’s home.All you need to do is to check hostels online to see if they have a volunteer discount.
Homestay
You pay your host family for the accommodation in return for an
unforgettable cultural experience.You should respect the house rules.You will p articipate fully in the family’s daily life and improve your language.Check or .

B.take
C.believe
D.accept
65.Which of the following is the right order to help you become a house sitter?

In offering Michael Jackson ticket holders the choice to take a refund or receive their unusable tickets as souvenirs，AEG have introduced music fans to one of the most unmanageable problems in the mathematical sciences.If nearly everybody takes the refund then the tickets，designed by the_King_of_Pop himself，will become collectors’ items and worth a fortune.However，if all 750,000 fans take their tickets then they will all hold worthless bits of fancy paper.
The choice facing fans is similar to the El Farol bar problem，which has been the subject of hundreds of academic papers and inspired a whole field：minority game theory.That is，if you reason that every Michael Jackson fan will take a refund then you should take the ticket，but they will reason in the same way and there will be a flood of souvenirs，so you should ask for your money back，but then...
So，with the benefit of the hundreds of academic papers from scientists around the world，what should a Times reader who holds a ticket do？The research tells us that，if you assume everybody else will use the same strategy as you，then the best you can do is to throw a dice(骰子)：deciding whether or not to keep the ticket according to a probability determined by demand for tickets and price.However，working out the probability is tough and most fans，without the benefit of minority game theory，won’t be tossing a dice.
There is one huge factor in the Michael Jackson problem which isn’t in the standard EI Farol bar problem.Hype(炒作).If the owners of the EI Farol bar distributed fliers(传单) announcing it was going to be quiet next week，then it would be a safe bet to stay at home with a glass of wine.So my advice would be to read the newspapers and decide what to do on the basis of the experts’ advice.If all the articles you read say the tickets will be collectors’ items then ask for a refund，and if they all accuse AEG of cheating crazy fans then take the ticket.It was，after all，designed by Michael Jackson.
72.In the Para 1，the underlined part “the King of Pop” refers to
“________”.
A.EI Farol
B.Michael Jackson
C.a ticket holder
D.a souvenir keeper
73.The burning problem Michael Jackson ticket holders have to deal with is________.
A.what advice to take
B.how to get their money back
C.how to deal with the tickets
D.how to make a fortune
74.It isn’t said but implied that “minority game theory” is a theory about________.
A.people’s reasoning
B.Jackson’s strategy
C.experts’ advice
D.minority’s bet
75.What the writer advises the ticket holders to do is________.
A.to throw a dice
B.to follow the experts
C.to read the newspaper
D.to take the ticket

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

As we get older and walk throughout lives we have to deal with change.Change is something that some people love and others are scared of and try to avoid.
However，if you want your life to move forward and to be happy and successful，you have to realize that change is necessary.
Welcome change with open arms，telling the world that you are not afraid.
Although you will part with your present teachers and classmates，you will always be able to remember the things you used to do and the fun you used to have.When you feel sad，or when you are alone，you can close your eyes and imagine that you are back with your friends and teachers.Remember that your memories are yours forever.
Enjoy the time before you leave your school.If possible，you could take photographs of your friends and teachers to help you recall(回忆起)the past.
Before you leave，you could also buy a notebook and ask your friends and teachers to write notes in it for you.They can write about the things
they like about you，the things that they will remember about you，or they could just write their wishes for your success in the future.
Perhaps you could buy a good hardback(精装本)book and combine the photographs and the notes together.You could also include your thoughts at the time of leaving the school.You could write lists of your favorite teachers，classes and sports activities.This is something you can treasure for the rest of your life.

Last_week，
I_had_a_survey_about_the_activities_the_students_of_our_class_did_at _noon_at_school.The results are as follows.Many students，about 55 percent，were doing their homework.About 30 percent were having a rest.About 10 percent were listening to MP3.Only 5 percent of them were eating snacks at that time.
As is shown in the chart，we always have too much homework to do every day.We students should learn to balance our spare time and studies.Just like a saying goes，“All work but no play makes Jack a dull boy.”What’s more，it’s necessary for us students to have a good rest at noon so that we will be energetic to attend lessons in the very afternoon.
Therefore，make full use of your time，get your work done more efficiently and then go in for more out­of­classroom activities.Only in this way can we enjoy a healthier life.。
