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
Can you imagine a stranger will read your e-mails without your permission or scan the website you’ve visited or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills? All of the things may happen to you one day.
In fact,it’s likely that some of these things have already happened to you.Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse,a girlfriend,a marketing company,a boss,a cop or a criminal.Whoever it is,they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen or even do something that may bring a disaster to you.
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy,and that it’s important to reveal to friends,family and lovers at appropriate times.But few boundaries remain nowadays.The digital bread crumbs（碎屑）you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to know who you are,where you are and what you like.In some cases,a simple Google search can leak the deepest thought in your mind.Like it or not,increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
The key question is:Does that matter? For many Americans,the answer apparently is“no”.
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy,most of them say they are really concerned about losing it.And 60 percent of the respondents say they feel their privacy is “slipping away,and that bothers me”.
But people say one thing and do another.Only a small of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy.Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站)to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements.Privacy economist Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will give up personal information such as telephone number,address,or social security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠券).But privacy does matter—at least sometimes.It’s like health;when you have it,you don’t notice it.Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.Without privacy,one will be naked in front of others.
56.What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?
A.Friends should open their hearts to each other.
B.Friends should always be faithful to each other.
C.There should be a distance even between friends.
D.There should be fewer quarrels between friends.
57.Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret”?
A.Modern society has finally developed into an open society.
B.People leave traces around when using modern technology.
C.There are always people who are curious about others’ affairs.
D.Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities.
58.What do most Americans do about privacy protection?
A.They change behavior that might disclose their identity.
B.People turn down a discount at tollbooths to avoid using the EZ-Pass system.
C.They rely more and more on advanced technology.
D.They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.
59.According to the passage,privacy is like health in that .
A.people will make every effort to keep it
B.its importance is hardly understood
C.It is something that can easily be lost
D.people don’t value it until they lose it
60.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.No privacy,no health.
B.Treasure your privacy.
C.Boundaries are important between friends.
D.The information age has its own shortcomings.
B
WASHINGTON—It’s a great achievement that inspires notions of robots with consciousness and independent minds.
When people or animals get hurt,they can usually compensate for minor injuries and keep limping along,but for robots,even slight damage can make them stumble and fall.However,a recently made robot has demonstrated a novel ability:it can heal its own damage.
The new robot,which looks like a splay-legged,four-footed starfish can sense injury to itself and adapt.That ability sets the new robot apart from earlier machines.Because the robot can recover from unfamiliar places.“There is a need for planetary robotic rovers to be able to fix things on their own,” says Josh Bongard,a professor in the University of Vermont,who is one of the device’s creators.“Robots on other planets must be able to continue their mission without human help if they are damaged and cannot communicate their problem back to Earth.”
A typical robot functions according to a computer program,but the new robot works differently.First,sensors in its four legs observe the robot’s movements and signals to its built-in computer.From the formation it collects,the robot creates its own programs that allow it to adapt to different situations.For example,when the
researchers shortened one of the robot’s legs,the smart machine simply adjusted its way of walking—it used three legs instead of four.
The researchers are looking for other places to put the resilient robot to work.One pellicle spot is the ocean floor.That dark and dangerous undersea terrain might be a good choice for a robot the scientists call the Starfish.“We never officially named the robot,but we usually refer to it as the Starfish,even though a real starfish has five rather than four legs,”says Bongard.“Also,a real starfish is much better than our robot at recovering from injury,because it can actually grow its legs again.”Scient ists have created robots that help humans in many ways:by exploring space,fighting fires,and even performing surgery.
61.The newly designed robot distinguishes itself from the former ones because it .
A.can communicate with people on the earth about their problems
B.works according to a certain computer program
C.can find its problems and solve them automatically
D.can explore unfamiliar places
62.An example is given in the fourth paragraph in order to explain that the robot .
A.is used to create new programs
B.has typical robot functions
C.has sensors to observe its movements
D.can gather information and adapt to new conditions
63.The underlined word“resilient”in the last paragraph means the robot is.
A.creative
B.newly made
C.able to recover
rmative
64.Which of the following is TURE about the robot “Starfish”?
A.It was spoken highly of by people for its special ability
B.It will stumble and fall if damaged.
C.It can grow its legs again once they are broken.
D.It has started to work on the ocean floor.
65.What might be the best title of the passage?
A.How does the Starfish Robot work
B.Do-It-Yourself Robot Repair
C.Robots Designed to Work on Other Planets
D.New Robot Helping Us in Many Ways
C
Geniuses amaze us,impress us and make us all a little jealous.How do they differ from the average person? Scientists are working hard to figure out that answer.Tune in to the National Geographic Channel to find out about the discoveries they’re making in the series My Brilliant Brain.
When Marc Y u was only two years old,he began to play the piano.After a year,he started learning pieces by
Beethoven.Now he’s a world-famous concert pianist at age eight.He learns newer and more difficult pieces with ease and can identify any note he hears.He seems to be specially designed for music.In Born Genius,National Geographic looks at the science behind child prodigies(神童) to explain why some children seem to be born without limits.
Genius didn’t come naturally to Tommy McHugh.His came only after he nearly died from bleeding in his brain.Afer recovering,McHugh’s head was filled with new thoughts and pictures.So, he began to express them in the form of poetry and art.Now,he’s a seemingly unstoppable creative machine.Sufferers of autism and brain injury have shown that great mental ability can sometimes come from damage or disease.Accidental Genius explores this puzzling relationship.
Can normal people be trained to be geniuses?Susan Polger has shown no signs of extraordinary intelligence.Yet,during her childhood,she studied thousands of chess patterns and learned to recognize them immediately.As a result,she was able to beat skilled adult players by age 10 and can now play up to five games at the same time without even seeing the boards.Make Me a Genius examines what it takes to turn an ordinary brain into that of a genius.
If becoming a genius were easy,we’d all be one.Yet,there is much more to super intelligence than simply bei ng born lucky.Learn more about amazing brains this month on National Geographic’s My Brilliant Brain.
66.My Brilliant Brains is most probably from .
A.a website
B.the radio
C.a magazine
D.a newspaper
67.The author takes Marc Yu as an example to show that a child prodigy is .
A.a person who learns something easily
B.a child who is eager to learn new things
C.a student who practices an instrument a lot
D.a kid who works hard to do well in school
68.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.New things about the brain are still being discovered.
B.People without natural abilities can learn to do things well.
C.Some people naturally have more active brains.
D.People are usually smarter when they recover from brain injury.
69.From the passage,we know that .
A.scientists completely understand the brain
B.people can only be born as geniuses
C.there’s no such thing as a true genius
D.there are many factor s in being a genius
70.The author develops the passage mainly by .

D
“What’s in a name?”According to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet,there is not too much.“That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”But Shakespeare may have been wrong.In most cultures,names matter a great deal.
Americans choose names for their children with care.Parents usually think about the impression a name gives,not its meaning.Most Americans would consider a“Jennifer”more attractive than a “Bertha”，for example.The last name,or,surname,must also be considered when choosing a first and middle name.A name like Lester Chester Hester would sound poetic,but odd.Parents would avoid names that remind them of people they don’t like.On the other hand,people might name their children after a respected elderly relative or even a famous person.The popularity of certain names can change with each new s that were once common,like Fanny or Elmer,sound old-fashioned today.But other names—like John and David,Mary and Sarah—have stood the test of time and continue to be favorites.
People in Ameica don’t always call their friends and relatives by their given names.Instead,they often use nicknames.Sometimes nicknames are short forms of a longer name.For instance,a girl named Elizabeth may be called Lisa,Beth or Betsy.As children grow up,they may decide for themselves which nickname they wish to be called.Some people just go by the initials of their first and middle names,like B.J.or R.C.And of course,people may call their children or their sweethearts other special nicknames.Often they have a “sweet” flavor,like Honey or Sugar.What’s in a name? A world of significance.So if you’re choosing an English name for yourself,take care to choose a good one.Amade-up name could sound strange to native English speakers.And a translation of your Chinese name may not make an appropriate name,either.But a good name can leave a positive and lasting impression.As an American politician once said,“In real life,unlike in Shakespeare,the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears.”
71.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?
A.People change names in order to be popular with the new generation.
s will change by themselves in order to be popular.
C.Some names may no longer be popular among the new generation.
D.No names can stand the test of time.
72.When choosing names,you should stick to the following principles except that .
A.the impression a name gives is more important than its meaning
C.surname should be paid attention to
D.you can create a name that is special
73.The word “initial” in paragraph 3 probably means .
A.nickname
B.the first letter
C.short form
D.title
74.The author will name a newly born baby girl .
A.Bertha
B.Fanny
C.Y unyun
D.Elizabeth
75.What is the main idea of this passage?
s have great significance to Americans.
s change when time goes by.
C.Chinese people should be careful when choosing their English names.
D.Roses smell sweet by any other name.

第四部分写作（共两节，满分45分）
第一节阅读表达阅读下面的短文并回答问题。

（每题3分，共15分）
The flag, the most common symbol(象征)of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.
The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive(原始的)artifact(人工制品). It is, rather the product of thousands of years’development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.
Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People’s food suppli es were similarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.
Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems(图腾)before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes
These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was
unmarked: The king of China around 1000 B.C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.

这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。

36.D. 根据上文晚上头顶的灯坏了，可知我找寻钥匙孔有困难，故选D．difficult。

37.A. 根据下文可知，“我”已经把门打开。

Manage to do sth.表成功地做某事。

38.B. 根据文意可知，由于晚上没有灯，“我”只好摸索前进，只有felt表此意。

39.D. 根据“but no switch”可以推知，“我”认为那里曾经安装了开关，因此在那里摸索，结果并没有，只有once能表示此意。

40.C. 上文提到这是一个旅馆，自己是暂时住到这里，排除了A项。

从下文一句when I deposited my luggage 可推知C项正确，注意spot此处意为“注意到，看到，发现”。

41.B. 从上文remembered可知，“我”在那天早些时候发现有开关，现在仍然记得，故选B。

42.B. 因为是晚上，所以选择dark。
