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。

A
Harry Houdini was one of the greatest American entertainers in the theater this century. He was a man famous for his escapes from prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to
see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks.
Of course, his secret was not magic or supernatural power. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.
Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17, in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in clubs in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison escape in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.
It was the publicity (宣传) that came from this that started Harry Houdini’s success. Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toes trained to escape from ankle chains. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck and a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks. She passed it quickly from her mouth to his.
Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full. What was the result? Worldwide fame and a name remembered today.
56. According to the passage, Houdini’s success in prison escapes depends on ______.

Traditional fairy tales are being abandoned by parents because they are too scary for their young children, a study has found.
A research has discovered one in five parents has given up old classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Rapunzel in favour of more modern books. One third of parents say their children have been left in tears after hearing the horrible details of Little Red Riding Hood. And nearly half of mothers and fathers refuse to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids as the themes of the story are kidnapping and killing. Similarly, Goldilocks and the Three Bears is also a tale likely
to be left on the book shelf as parents feel it forgives stealing.
The survey of 2,000 adults was completed to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM, which starts tonight at 9 p.m. on Watch, and sees six drama series based on traditional fairy tales. The survey has found a quarter of parents polled will not consider reading a fairy tale to their children until they have reached the age of five, as they have to face too many awkward questions from their children.
Steve Hornsey, General Manager, Watch, said, “Bedtime stories are supposed to soothe children and send them off to sleep soundly. But as we see in GRIMM, some fairy tales can be dark and dramatic tales so it’ s understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children. As adults, we can see the innocence in fairy tales, but a five-year-old child would take them too seriously. Despite the dark nature of some classic fairy tales, as we see in GRIMM, good will defeat evil and there is always a moral to the story.”
The study also shows two thirds of mums and dads try to avoid stories which might give their children nightmares. However, half of parents think traditional tales are more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of modern kids’ books, such as The Gruffalo, The Hungary Caterpillar and the Mr. Men books.
60. Why don’t some parents want to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids?
A. Rumplestiltskin is too long.
B. Rumplestiltskin is too difficult.
C. Rumplestiltskin forgives stealing.
D. Rumplestiltskin may have bad influence on children.
61. We can learn from Para. 3 that GRIMM is _________.
A. a fairy tale book
B. a movie for children
C. a play loved by children
D. a drama based on traditional fairy tales
62. The underlined word “soothe” in Para. 4 can be replaced by “_________”.
A. put down
B. calm down
C. take down
D. come down
63. Which of the following may Steve Hornsey agree to?
A. A moral always exists in a classic fairy tale.
B. All fairy tales are dark.
C. Adults take fairy tales too seriously.
D. All fairy tales are good for children’s sleep.
64. What’s the author’s attitude towards traditional fairy tales?
A. Optimistic.
B. Not mentioned.
C. Casual.
D. Disapproving.

Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum（钟摆）and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the difference remarked, “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.”
Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass．For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach. Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured tune could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older．
Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have
had the experience of driving somewhere we’ve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The unfamiliarity of the journey has become routine. Thus taking a different route on occasion can often help slow the clock.
When days become as identical as beads（小珠子）on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To fight this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day—to stop time. Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn’t have to be.
68. The quotation in the first paragraph is used to indicate ______.
A. psychological time is quite puzzling
B. time should not be measured by a pendulum
C. physical time is different from psychological time
D. physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time
69. Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older?
A. Our sense of time changes.
B. We spend less time at the beach.
C. More time is structured and scheduled.
D. Time is structured with too many appointments.
70. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. It gives various explanations about time.
B. It describes how we experience time psychologically.
C. It shows the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time.
D. It explains why time flies fast and how to slow it down psychologically.

E
I’m 30 years old, and there are several things that life has taught me that I want to share with you. Here are the 4 lessons that life has taught me in the past 30 years.
1. Take Care of Your Body
Life is “unfairly” biased(偏向的) towards people who “look good,” like it or not. So it’s important that you do all that is in your power to look your best. 71 You will live longer, and you will live happier, if you take care of your body; you may even get promoted faster on your job. Remember that your health is really your greatest wealth.
2. 72
No one taught me to save when I was growing up; no one told me the importance of saving. Fortunately I was able to learn the value of saving through reading great books like “The Millionaire Next Door”. What I want to teach others is to save at least twenty percent of your income. If you are to be wealthy, you must not just earn a lot, you must save a lot.
3. Think long-term.
In high school I was thinking about college, in college I was thinking about life after college. I’m designing my life and I’m making decisions today that will enable me to live the life I desire when I’m in my 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. You have to think long-term; you have to see the “big picture.”
73
4. Realize the Power of Focus
Focus, focus, focus… 74 If you fail in this lifetime, you will fail because of broken focus. If you focus on the goals that are most important to you, you will achieve them. The problem is that there are so many distractions. 75 Winners decide to major on majors, and they even let important things slip, because they just focus on achieving what is critical to their goals.
A. The importance of saving.
B. If you plan your future properly, you will live into your plans.
C. Save Your Money.
D. Nothing is more critical than focus.
E. What separates the winners from the losers is that the winners learn to focus on their goal.
F. I mean dressing nicely, working out and eating right.
G. It’s critical that you pursue relationships with individuals who are good first.

The long-desired winter vacation was arrived in the end. As soon as the bell rang, announced the end of the class, we couldn’t wait to rush out of the classroom. Half an hour late, my good friend Liming and I were on the way back home. Such crowded was the train we took that they had to stand. Thinking of the coming Spring Festival and the two-weeks stay with parents, we both felt exciting. All of a sudden, I saw a man picking an old lady’s pocket. With help of Liming, I caught the thief and force him to give back the purse to the lady. The thief was taken away by the guard. Praised by other passengers, and we felt proud of what we had done．
