第三部分阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30）
A
The common cold is the world’s most widespread illness, which is probably why there are more myths(神话，想象) about
it than any of the other illnesses.
The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold．They are not．They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person．You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one．If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever．But they do not．And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected(感染的) people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes．
At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time．After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused(浸入) with cold water, and then stood about dripping（滴干）wet in drafty（通风的）rooms．Somewore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion．Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose．
If cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds,
why are they more frequent in the winter? In spite of the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answer．One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on．No one has yet found a cure for the cold．There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms．
51. The fact that the Eskimos don’t suffer colds shows that .
A. colds are really full of myths
B. viruses are the factors causing colds
C. colds are more severe than other illnesses
D. the idea that cold leads to colds doesn’t stand up
52. The experiments mentioned in Paragraph 3 made it clear that .
A. being doused with cold w ater did harm to one’s body
B. taking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tired
C. it was viruses not wet and cold that made people have colds
D. people who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily
53. According to the passage, colds are commonly seen in winter because .
A. there is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperature
B. viruses can go into people’s warm bodies more easily in winter
C. staying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass on
D. people are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter
54. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The myths about colds.
B. The continued spread of colds.
C. The experiments on colds.
D. The reason and the way people catch colds.
B
There have been a number of occasions through the years that I had to sit at the feet of a theologian (神学家).Some of those times, I came away wondering what on earth the man was talking about. That was not the case when I heard Dr. Randy Harris. He suggested that a lot of our day-to-day problems in the world be solved by simply keeping our promises. Too many people do not take such matters seriously. Are you serious in keeping your promises?
Some of my most anxious moments in over a half-century of ministry have come as a result of carelessness in failing to keep my word. Preachers (传道士) can say a lot of requests on any given Sunday. I have been asked to make hospital visits, write letters of recommendation(推荐), put people’s names
on the prayer list, read books, make telephone calls, remember birthdays and anniversaries, come to special events, and put announcements in the church bulletin (公告).
There was a time when I would foolishly agree to fulfill each request. I had the best of intentions, but I could not remember all I had agreed to do, much less find a way to do them all! Did I think I was “Super-Preacher”? The sad look of disappointed faces taught me that I was not. I hurt people, and they deserved better.
The Hebrew word of covenant (契约) means primarily “a cutting”. It refers to the custom of cutting an animal in half and having the parties making promises pass between the two halves. They were saying to each other, “If I don’t keep my word, may I be as this animal--be cut in two.”
If butchering (屠宰) were the result of breaking our word today, how many of us would be headed for the death? I think that, although we are not cut like animals for our failures to keep promises, there are serious results connected with our carelessness. It ruins our character and our reputation.
What can we do? It is simple. Stop making promises we cannot keep. Reduce promise lists, and be sure to carry out the commitments that remain on it. If after giving our word, we are unable to keep the appointment or whatever, inform and apologize as soon as possible.
Last weekend, I stood with a dressed-up couple at a wedding in another county. They made some serious promises to each other in a covenant of marriage. They made vows to be faithful to each other for as long as they live. I pray God that they will keep those vows and be an example for others to follow.
55. From the second paragraph we can learn that the author________.
A. lives a life of religious service
B. dislikes making any promise
C. is a famous and busy theologian
D. likes to recommend jobs for others
56. The author mentioned the custom of cutting an animal in half mainly to ________ .
A. show butchering is cruel
B. explain the meaning of covenant
C. express his disappointment with old customs
D. show breaking one’s promises is terrible
57. The author was a bit ________ about the new couple’s vows.
A. upset
B. concerned
C. sad
D. uneasy
C
There's no need to say it, but there are really more than a few benefits to educational tours. From the word itself, an educational tour is something done to gain knowledge while traveling and touring to some place. It creates opportunities for people to think out of the box and see things and places that aren't usually seen in their normal environment.
Educational trips aren't always those that cover far distances. As already said, it is done to gain knowledge and you wouldn't need to go very far to have it. Sometimes, an educational trip could be in your hometown.
Historic places and museums are always on top of the lists of the places to go in an educational tour. Educational tours like these would make you know your country better. Your country's history is rich and it is the reason why you came to be. But remember that the history of other states, counties and countries are as important as your own.
When you go on a trip to another country, it is advised that you learn their culture first. Different cultures have different understanding and perspective of different acts, and it could be dangerous or offending if you cannot understand a culture.
When you go on an educational tour, it is likely that you would have the opportunity to socialize with other people. Students are encouraged to talk to locals and natives and learn from them, because it is with understanding that students gain knowledge. When students talk with local people, they are gaining insights to their life and their culture. It is said that when in Rome, act and think as the Romans do, and this is a valuable skill that not all people could do. There are millions of people who want to travel, and an educational tour is the perfect time to do so. Traveling opens new doors and opportunities; it always makes you want to learn more. Cultures are many and widely different, and it is a very valuable talent to understand the people of different cultures.
Traveling with groups of other students is safer than traveling alone, and bulk travels like those could also be helpful on the budget. Group of friends could stay at one place and get discounts on the place that you wouldn't get if you are traveling alone. Traveling is fun and more budget-friendly when with other people on an educational tour.
Travel abroad for a month. Try and see if you wouldn't miss
your own country. Traveling would let you see your own country in a different way. The benefits of an educational tour are all important, but this one creates patriotism in a person.
A school isn't a place where they teach you to find the answers; it is a place where one teaches you to find the questions and learn the answers for yourself. Educational tours are valuable this way. They teach you that you are not the only one seeking for questions and that there are other people who are willing to help you on your way too.
58. What is educational tours according to the passage?
A. Something done to gain knowledge while traveling.
B. Something done to know more about one's own country while traveling.
C. Something done to know more about a foreign country while traveling.
D. Something done to seek for more friends while traveling.
59. What are on the top lists of the places to go to in an educational tour?
A. schools and churches
B. government buildings
C. places of amusement
D. Historical places and
museums
60. Which statement is correct according to the passage?
A. Educational trips always cover long distances.
B. When on educational trips, you seldom have the chance to talk with other people.
C. Educational trips are always too short to learn knowledge.
D. Learning the culture first is a must before you go on educational trips
61. If you want to go on a cheap and safe educational trip, you'd better_____.
A. learn the culture first
B. avoid the top spots
C. book one in advance
D. go with groups of other students
D
Amy returned to her small apartment at midnight, exhausted. Her worst fears raced through her mind. Would the court tell her she couldn’t care for her family anymore? Would the kids go through the bitterness once more of being split up and sent away? She was so young, almost a child herself, and yet Amy knew everything depended on her. At
that moment, she wondered if she would ever find the strength to see it through.
From earliest childhood, Amy took care of her younger brothers. Jan, their mother, only added to the family disorder and confusion because of her drug addict. Sometimes they lived in apartments, sometimes in shelters.
One afternoon Amy was called to the high school, where a social worker was waiti ng for her. “We’re going to have to put you guys in foster（收养) care.” the social worker said. “No! Don’t split us up!” the girl cried out. “Can’t you just leave it the way it is?” The social worker shook his head. Amy’s voice then rose like the howl of a l ioness protecting her babies: “Why can’t I take them? I take care of them all the time anyway.” The social worker hesitated, and then said, “Maybe. Once you’re 18, you could apply to become their relative caretaker. Then you’d be their foster mother until we find a home where all of you can be together.” “I’ll do it,” Amy said.
One month later, Amy was named guardian（监护人）of her brothers for a six-month trial period. It was a remarkable victory for an 18-year-old girl. Her brothers didn’t make her task any easier in the months ahead. However，Amy’s efforts
were rewarded when the court allowed her to continue as guardian. Amy’s relief at remaining the kids’ guardian was at risk of being taken away by the pressure she always felt to measure up. Social workers still looked regularly over her shoulder and asked the boys shameful questions: “Does she feed you? Does she ever try to harm you?” Then one day a visiting social worker came over. “We’d like to get the boys adopted into homes,” she said. Sensing that the fa mily was about to be split apart yet again, Amy replied, “Fine, then. Call it adoption if you want, but they’re not going anywhere.” To her surprise, the social worker took her remark seriously. She explained that if Amy were to adopt the boys, they would become like any other family.
That night at dinner Amy told the boys about the idea. “Cool!” Joey said. He threw a piece of corn at Adam. His brother flicked it back, and pretty soon corn was flying. Amy rolled her eyes. They didn’t have far to go to be l ike any other family. As the proceedings（程序）ended, Amy thanked everyon e. “No,” the judge responded, “T hank you. You saved three kids. Not many family members would do what you’re doing, especially for this many children. I’m very proud of you.”
On a lazy spring day, in a modest suburban neighborhood, Amy stood in front of a neatly kept one-story house. She watched her brothers playing basketball, and heard the playful bark of their dog, Tahoe. The young lady had made good on her promise: they had rented a home, a real home, and the boys had gotten their dog. Amy continues to raise her family alone, but has begun taking courses in business management at a nearby community college. Eventually, she hopes to become a child psychologist.
62. Which of the following best describes Amy?
A. Crazy and tough.
B. Firm and stubborn.
C. Enthusiastic and generous.
D. Abnormal and aggressive.
63. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that __________.
A. The social worker gave in to Amy.
B. The social worker tried to a dopt Amy’s brothers.
C. Amy tried to apply for the guardian of the brothers.
D. Amy had no idea how to face her family being split up.
64. By saying “They didn’t have far to go to be like any other family”, the writer means________.
A. they will live in the same area as other families.
B. they made a deep impression on the neighborhood.
C. Amy is able to take good care of the family.
D. Amy and her brothers would be already just like a family.
65. The best title for this text would be___________.
A. Standing On Two Feet
B. Growing Up Alone
C. A Lifelong Fight
