第三部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分）
阅读下列短文,从每题所给出的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
Learn a Foreign Language
Spend the time!
The more time you spend with the language，the faster you will learn. This means listening, reading, writing, speaking，and studying words and phrases. This does not mean sitting in class looking out the window, nor listening to other students who do not speak well, nor getting explanations in your own language about how the language works。

This means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning。

Listen and read every day!
Listen wherever you are on your MP3 player。

Read what you are listening to。

Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and reading you will get used to the language。

One hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time。

Focus on words and phrases!
Build up your vocabulary，you'll need lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Read online，using online dictionaries，and make your own vocabulary lists for review。

Soon you will run into your new words and phrases elsewhere。

Gradually you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how accurately you speak until you have accumulated plenty of words through listening and reading.
Take responsibility for your own learning！
If you do not want to learn the language, you won’t。

If you do want to learn the language, take control. Choose content of interest, which you want to listen to and read. Seek out the words and phrases that you need to understand your listening and reading. Do not wait for someone else to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do。

Discover the language by yourself，like a child growing up。

Talk when you feel like it。

Write when you feel like it。

A teacher cannot teach you to become fluent, but you can learn to become fluent if you want to.
Relax and enjoy yourself!
Do not worry about what you cannot remember，or cannot yet understand, or cannot yet say. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become clearer in your brain，just make sure you spend enough time with the language。

That is the greatest guarantee of success。

56. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. It’s necessary to get explanations in your own language about a foreign language.
B. It’s important to listen to and read things in order to get used to a foreign language。

C。

You can speak accurately as long as you have grasped plenty of foreign words.
D。

It’s true to learn a foreign language by yourself completely other than anyone else。

57. What is the author’s intention by writing this passage?
A。

To make a comparison about which is the best way to learn a foreign language。

B。

To make an advertisement for some foreign language training centre. C。

To introduce the effective ways to learn a foreign language。

D。

To encourage students to learn a foreign language well.
58. Which of the following is closest meaning to the underlined word “accumulated” (in Para 3）?
A。

grasped B。

learned C。

revised D. collected
59. If you are suffering from the trouble that you can't remember vocabulary，you must ______.
A。

listen or read whatever you come across
B。

recite the words and phrases by yourself
C. make your own vocabulary lists for review
D。

make sure you spend enough time to learn it
B
A French father—of-two who swam across the Channel 16 years after losing all his limbs（四肢) in an electrical accident said Sunday that he was “the happiest man alive."
Philippe Croizon, a 42—year—old former metalworker，said he had performed his feat(壮举)to inspire all those “who think life is nothing but suffering。

”
He set off from Folkestone in southern England just before 8：00 am on Saturday, and arrived on the French coast near Wissant just before 9：30 pm，aided by his specially designed flipper-shaped prosthetic(假肢的)legs.
Steadying himself with his prosthetic arms, Croizon kept up a constant speed in good weather and was accompanied by wild dolphins for part of the 33—kilometre （20-mile）crossing. “For a while，I didn't realize what I’d done. It was only that night，when I went to bed，that suddenly I burst out laughing，and told myself，‘You did it!',” he to ld AFP by telephone from his home in northern France。

In 1994 Croizon was hit by a 20,000—volt charge as he attempted to remove a television aerial from a house roof. “I was on my hospital bed；they'd just finished cutting off my last leg. You can imagine how that felt. And then I saw a television documentary on a female swimmer who crossed the Channel，" he explained.
“There and then，I asked myself: ‘Why not me one day？’” he said.
Croizon trained for two years and last month completed a 12—hour swim between the ports of Noirmoutier and Pornic on France's Atlantic coast，but his final Channel crossing was much faster than he had expected. “I wanted to slow down，but I couldn’t. The motor was running，" he said, adding that he had expected to be at sea for 24 hours.
“It was huge。

I was in the zone。

I was inside my head。

I didn't want to disappoint anyone,” he said, declaring that his next long-distance challenge will be to swim between Europe and Africa.
60。

What led to Philippe’s decision to swim across the English Channel?
A. The aim to inspire all those suffering from disabilities.
B。

His strong will and determination.
C。

The female swimmer who crossed the Channel.
D. His unfortunate experience。

61. We can infer from the passage that ______。

A. Philippe’s success in crossing the Channel was incredible
B. the wild dolphins kept him company all the way
C。

it took him 24 hours to cross the Channel
D. Philippe planned to travel to Africa
62。

What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?
A. Philippe was swimming in his head。

B. Philippe filled his mind with determination to succeed。

C. Philippe was imagining his success.
D. Philippe was dreaming about his swimming across the Channel。

63。

What can be the best title of the passage？
A。

Limbless Man Crosses The English Channel
B. Crossing The Channel with Prosthetic Flippers。

C。

Philippe’s Purpose of Crossing the Channel.
D。

How Philippe Became Limbless。

C
Have you ever wanted to enjoy the world's wonderful gifts? This earth is a beautiful place。

If you look at nature, and see just trees，and grass，do you realize what incredible things you are missing？
Go outside。

If you want to feel more connected to the earth，the first step is to experience it for yourself。

Choose a place that you think that you could thoroughly enjoy. A quiet place set away from civilization is best. One of the key things is that it must be calm and quiet。

Any natural setting will do, whether it is a forest or grassland, lake or mountain.
Sit down on a rock，some dry leaves, or simply on the ground。

Get comfortable with your surroundings，and really take in the sounds and the feel of everything around you. Try not to focus on “the big picture”-stead, notice the little details of things；for example：how many ridges are there on a leaf? Do you see any animals around you？If so, pay attention to kinds of things that happen lower to the ground.
Next, close your eyes, and picture in your mind the nature that surrounds you. The point is to sense that you are in a beautiful place.
Do something peaceful，such as fishing or meditating in the woods. You will be amazed at how relaxing it is to just sit back and enjoy the natural sounds of the woods and birds。

Go on a hike。

Walking is great exercise and the pace of it will allow you to see and hear the little things。

Don't let time or distance scare you。

There are hikes of all lengths and difficulties.
Go camping or backpacking. Don’t forget to look at the stars, whether you know anything about them yet or not。

Often, they will appear brighter and more numerous when you are away from the light and smog of cities.
Practice primitive skills while in the woods to share a connection with our ancestors，if you want to go further. See the external links for suggestions.
Doing these kinds of things will bring about an appreciation of nature, and make you realize how beautiful it is，and that we too, are creatures of this earth。

64。

What are the world’s wonderful gifts in the author’s eye？
A. Trees and grass
B. Incredible things from the nature
C。

The whole world D。

Walking, fishing and camping
65. According to the second paragraph the writer advises readers to go to a place without _______.
A. a bridge
B. a river C。

a sea D. a bird
66. In the third paragraph the writer advises us to _______。

A。

look at the mountains in the distance B。

look into the sky C。

overlook the vast grasslands D。

watch ants climbing a tree
67. Which might be the title of the passage?
A。

What the Nature is B. What Wonderful Natural Gifts are
C。

How to Enjoy Nature D. How to Get Incredible Things
D
You heard about the sign posted on a farm fence? Inside there was a big and mean(凶的）bull。

The sign read, “Don't attempt to cro ss this field unless you can do it in 9.9 seconds. The bull can do it in 10!”
Don’t try to cross that field unless you are prepared！And isn’t that the way it is in life？We have to be ready when the opportunity arises or else we will have little chance of success。

Sixth—grade teacher Ms. Shelton believed in readiness. When she walked into the classroom on the first day and began writing words of an eighth—grade level on the blackboard, the students immediately said that the words were not at their level an d they couldn’t learn them。

Their teacher insisted that they could and would learn these words. She said that she would never teach down to them. Ms. Shelton ended by saying that one of the students in the classroom could go on to greatness，maybe even be president someday，and she wanted them to prepare for that day.
Ms. Shelton said those words many years ago。

Little did she know that someday one of her students-Jesse Jackson—would take them seriously. She believed that if they were well prepared，they could achieve high goals.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “People only see what they are prepared to see。

” If that’s true，then it is also true that they only become what they are prepared to become。

And a lot of life is just about getting ready。

Think of today as a chance to prepare yourself for the exciting future you are looking for。

Today is not wasted. If you desire more from life, you can use today as training。

For you will experience only what you are prepared to experience。

Something wonderful can happen。

And you can use today to get ready for tomorrow。

68。

What is the function of the first paragraph to the whole passage?
A. To explain the high speed is important to our lives。

B. To show we should get ready when the opportunity arises。

C。

To introduce how to grasp the best way to cross this field.
D. To prove it’s right for Ms。

Shelton to believe in readiness。

69。

Why did Ms. Shelton insist students could and would learn the words of an eighth—grade level？
A. Because she believed one of the students in the classroom could go on to greatness.
B。

Because the words of an eighth—grade level is just so so to the Sixth—grade students.
C。

Because she believed that if they were well prepared, they could achieve high goals。

D. Because it is also true that they only become what they are prepared to become。

70. What can be the best title of the passage?
A。

Get Ready for Tomorrow B。

Do n’t Waste Time
C。
