I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old．My mother told us that we would not be 36 Christmas gifts because there was not enough money．I felt sad and thought, "What would I say when the other kids asked what I'd 37 ?" Just when I started to 38 that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women
39 at our house with gifts for all of us．For me they brought a doll．I felt such
a sense of 40 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school．I wasn't 41 . Somebody had thought 42 of me to bring me a gift．Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 43 Christmas there special and memorable, I 44 remembered the
women's visit．I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 45 for as many children as I could possibly reach．
So I 46 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help．We gathered about 125 orphans （孤儿） at the Christmas party．For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies, 47 with a child's name．We wanted all of them to know they were 48 . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 49 them that they couldn't open their presents 50 every child had come forward．Finally the 51 they had been waiting for came as I called out, "One, two, three．Open your presents!" As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 52 up the room．The 53 in the room was obvious, and 54 wasn't just about toys．It was a feeling — the feeling I knew 55 that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit．I wasn't forgotten．Somebody thought of me．I matter．

第三部分阅读理解(共两节，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
U nlike her 1995 autobiography(自传), After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes（糖尿病）．All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation（JDRF）, an organization she serves as international chairman．"I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says."I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."
But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches．In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news．First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes．In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts（甜甜圈）．Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up--again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her．Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity．"Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists．"It doesn't do any good．No one is immune （免疫的） to heartache, pain, and disappointments．Sometimes we can make things better by helping others．I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time．I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be." 56．We can know that before 1995, Mary .
A．had two books published
B．received many career awards
C．knew how to use a computer
D．supported the JDRF by writing
57．Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her .
A．living with diabetes
B．successful show business
C．service for an organization
D．remembrance of her mother
58．When Mary received the life-changing news, she .
A．lost control of herself
B．began a balanced diet
C．tried to get a treatment
D．behaved in an adult way
B
Whether it’s a carol（圣诞颂歌）service or an evening of karaoke in the pub, many people will enjoy a good old singsong this Christmas. Singing aloud will not just lift the spirits---it’s good for your physical health as well. Filling the lungs （肺）with air, increasing the heart rate and getting blood pumping round the body faster can all help our physical health.
For the past few years Heart Research UK has been Funding a Christmas campaign aimed at getting people singing, simply for the benefit it can bring. The organizer of the campaign says singing is a safe, simple and social activity that everyone can enjoy. “Singing is linked to long life, stress reduction, and general health protection. It also brings a great amount of happiness. It is impossible to sing well with a long face because it affects your pitch（音高）.”
Professor Graham Welch, who leads the International Music Education Research Centre at the University of London, has spent more than 30 years studying the effects of singing. He says that singing is a form of exercise. It means we’re also having a strong aerobic activity（有氧运动）when we’re singing, which results in increasing the feeling of pleasure while decreasing that of stress.
“And communal（共同的）singing—like in a singing group, a church service or even a singsong in the pub—helps improve our sense of self-respect. It increases our sense of satisfaction with ourselves, a greater sense of feeling inclu ded. ”
Helen Astrid, a singing teacher, also sees the great effects that singing brings. “It lifts us up on a spiritual level, it helps our self-respect, and it’s great for all ages from small kids to grannies—you can have a good sing and let your hair down.”
But she warns people not to have too many beers or glasses of wine, though a glass may help them gather courage before taking to the stage during the holidays.

A. encourage people to sing for God at Christmas
B. study the effects of singing on people
C. get people to sing and improve their health
D. bring happiness to people during holidays
60. What are the benefits of singing according to Graham Welch?

d. Singers’ stress reduced.
e. Singer’s self-respect improved.
A. a, b, c
B. b, c, d
C. c, d, e
D. a, b, e
61. The underlined part “let your hair down” probably means __________.
A. feel at ease
B. protect yourself
C. dress casually
D. cover your nervousness
62. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Singing at Christmas is good for health.
B. In a low mood one is not able to sing well.
C. Experts have disagreement on singing.
D. Singing is the same as other aerobic activities.
63. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Karaoke—Best Place for Singing!
B. Christmas—Best Time for Singing!
C. Singing—Healthy but Difficult
D. For Health—Let’s Sing!
C
Forget Twitter and Facebook, Google and the Kindle. Television is still the most influential medium around. Indeed ,for many of the poorest regions（地区）of the world,
it remains the next big thing—finally becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better.
Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005
the number had climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U.S. ,where are more
TVs than people, and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million
more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005 ,
after the fall of the Taliban（塔利班）,which had outlawed TV, 1 in 5 Afghans had
one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013—pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families.
Television’s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached villages, women
were more likely to go to the market without their husbands approval and less likely
to want a boy rather than a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child
health care. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state
of Gujarat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen. Within six months, viewers had made a small but significant
（有意义的） improvement in their reading skills.
Too much TV has been associated with violence, overweight and loneliness. However,
TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide.
64．The underlined word “outlawed” in paragraph 2 probably means “”.
A．allowed B．banned C．offered D．refused
65．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Americans used to get access to the Internet easily.
B．The world’s TV sets will total 150million by 2013.
C．45% of families in the developing countries had a TV in 2005.
D．Over two thirds of families in the world will have a TV by 2013.
66．The author intends to .
A．stress the advantages of TV to people’s lives
B．persuade women to become more independent
C．encourage people to improve their reading skills
D．introduce the readers some websites such as Google
