第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Homonym: a word that has the same spelling and the same pronunciation as another world, but a different meaning
Same spelling, different meaning
Imagine, then a situation where two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way, but have completely different meanings. Welcome to the world of homonyms. Take, for example, the word ‘fail’ — it can be a kind of festival, and adjective to describe the color of your hair or how you should play a game.
Don’t take it literally
So how do you know which meaning someone is referring to? —You don’t, except by the context. Obviously, if someone asks you to ‘give them a hand’, they don’t want you to remove what is at the end of your arm.
What’s in a name?
Sometimes even the context doesn’t help much — the result can be amusing. These sentences play with the double meaning of a nou n:
I used to be a banker, but I lost interest.
Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn’t control his pupils?
A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital. When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was, the nurse said: ‘No change yet’.
More ambiguity
And these examples play with the different meanings of a verb:
I wondered why the ball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.
56. Which of the following statements about homonyms is NOT true?
A. They share the same spellings regardless of meanings.
B. We can’t know their meanings without context.
C. We may still feel confused even with context.
D. Their ambiguity brings great trouble to our life.
57. The “beat” in the sentence “A boiled egg in the morning is
hard to beat, making for a satisfying breakfast.” has a similar meaning to _____.
A. The rain was beating down on the tin roof.
B. Taking the bus sure beats walking.
C. The doctor could feel no pulse beating.
D. You’ve been working too hard, you look dead beat.
B
We might think we know which colours do what. The idea that red wakes us up or blue calms us down is deeply rooted in Western culture. But do they really change our behaviour in the ways that we assume?
When it comes to scientific research, the results are mixed and at times contested.
Some studies have found that people do better on cognitive tasks when faced with red rather than blue or green; othe rs show the opposite. The idea is that if you repeatedly have a particular experience surrounded by a certain colour, then you eventually begin to associate that colour with the way you were feeling or behaving. A school career spent reading your teacher’s red writing circ ling your mistakes forever makes you link red with danger. Blue meanwhile is more likely to be associated with calmer situations like marvelling at a big blue expanse of sky.
Of course there will always be exceptions --- the comment from the teacher saying “well done” is also written in red. It is true that people do make different associations with different colours, but whether this translates into behaving in a certain way or succeeding at a particular task is a different question.
In 2009 researchers tried to clarify the situation. They sat their participants at computer screens coloured blue, red or “neutral” and tested them on various tasks. With a red screen people did better on tasks requiring attention to detail, but when the screen was blue they did better on creative tasks. In practice this might be tricky. In a classroom you might want to think creatively some of the time and pay attention to detail at others.
However, when another team tried to repeat the study with a larger group of people in 2014, the effect of colour disappeared. The initial study consisted of just 69 people. In this new, bigger study, of 263 volunteers, background colour made no difference.
So colours might well have an effect, but so far those effects have been difficult to d emonstrate consistently and sometimes don’t seem to exist at all.
58. What’s the major function of the first paragraph?
A. To present a widely held view
B. To raise a question of behavior change
C. To introduce the theme of the passage
D. To summarize the whole passage
59. The author mentions the exception in Paragraph 3 in order to
show _____.
A. there are exceptions to every rule
B. people tend to associate colors with behaviors
C. colors don’t necessarily mean particular behaviors
D. colors do matter to those who desire success
60. It can be concluded from the results of the studies in 2009 and
2014 that _____.
A. the research findings are practical in indoor decoration
B. solid evidence is inadequate to prove how colors affect us
C. a larger study may help confirm colors’ effects on our behaviors
D. walls should be painted different colors depending on different tasks
C
My father was, by nature, a cheerful, kindly man. Until he was thirty-four years old he worked as a farm-hand for Thomas Butterworth near the town of Bidwell, Ohio. On Saturday evenings he drove his horse into town to spend a few hours in social intercourse with other farm-hands. He was quite happy in his position in life.
It was in his thirty-fifth year that father married my mother, a school teacher. Something happened to the two people. The American passion for getting up in the world took possession of them. Mother induced father to give up his place as a farm-hand, sell his horse and start an independent enterprise of his own. They rented ten acres of poor stony land and launched into chicken raising.
One inexperienced in such matters can have no idea of the many and tragic things that can happen to a chicken. It is born out of an egg, lives for a few weeks as a tiny fluffy thing, then becomes naked, gets diseases, and dies. A few hens, and now and then a rooster, intended to serve God’s mysterious ends, struggle through to maturity. The hens lay eggs out of which come other chickens and the awful cycle is thus made complete. It is all unbelievably complex. Most philosophers must have been raised on chicken farms. One hopes for so much from a chicken and is so awfully disappointed. Small chickens, look so bright and in fact so awfully stupid. They are so much like people they mix one up in one’s judgments of life. If disease does not kill them they wait until your expectations are thoroughly aroused and then walk under the wheels of a carriage.
In later life I have seen how a literature has been built up on the subject of fortunes to be made out of the raising of chickens. It is intended to be read by the gods who have just eaten of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It is a hopeful literature and declares that much may be done by simple ambitious people who own a few hens. Do not be misguided by it. It was not written for you. Go hunt for gold on the frozen hills of Alaska, put your faith in the honesty of a politician, believe if you will that good will defeat evil, but do not read and believe the literature that is written concerning the hen.
For ten years my father and mother struggl ed to make our chicken farm pay and then they gave up that struggle and began another. They moved into the town of Bidwell, Ohio and began the restaurant business, with the tiny hope of looking for a new place from which to start on our upward journey through life.
61. Which of the following is the right order of what happened?
a. Father got married to Mother, a school teacher.
b. Father quitted working at Butterworth’s.
c. My parents launched a business in Bidwell.
d. Father socialized in town on Saturday evenings
e. My parents started their job of chicken farming.
A. d-a-b-e-c
B. d-a-c-b-e
C. d-b-a-e-c
D. d-b-a-c-e
62. By saying “Most philosophers must have been raised on chicken
farms”, the author means that chicken farming _____.
A. is so complex that only philosophers can comprehend it
B. gives you a philosophical insight into life
C. exposes you to a complete circle of life
D. allows you the time to judge the life
63. In the author’s opinion, the literature about chicken raising
_____.
A. is full of hope and positive energy
B. proves the victory of good over evil
C. persuades you to believe in politicians
D. tends to be blindly optimistic about its rewards
64. What’s the author’s attitude towards parents’dream of rise
to success?
A. approving
B. optimistic
C. skeptical
D. indifferent
D
A four-year-old girl sees three biscuits divided between a stuffed crocodile and a teddy bear. The crocodile g ets two; the bear one. “Is that fair?” asks the experimenter. The girl judges that it is not. “How about now?” asks the experimenter, breaking the bear’s single biscuit in half. The girl cheers up: “Oh yes, now it’s fair. They both have two.” Strangely, ch ildren feel very strongly about fairness, even when they hardly understand it.
Adults care about fairness too --- but how much? One way to find out is by using the ultimatum (最后通牒) game, created by economist Werner Guth. Jack is given a pile of money and p roposes how it should be divided with Jill. Jill can accept Jack’s “ultimatum”, otherwise the deal is off, and neither gets anything.
Suppose Jack and Jill don’t care about fairness, just about accumulating cash. Then Jack can offer Jill as little as he likes and Jill will still accept. After all, a little money is more than no money. But imagine, instead, that Jack and Jill both care only about fairness and that the fairest outcome is equality. Then Jack would offer Jill half the money; and Jill wouldn’t a ccept otherwise.
What happens when we ask people to play this game for real? It turns out that people value fairness a lot. Anyone offered less than 20-30% of the money is likely to reject it. Receiving an unfair offers makes us feel sick. Happily, most offers are pretty equitable; indeed, by far the most common is a 50-50 split.
But children, and adults, also care ab out a very different sort of (un)fairness, namely cheating. Think how many games of snakes and ladders have ended in arguments when one child “accidentally” miscounts her moves and another child objects. But this sense of fairness isn’t about equality of outcome: games inevitably have winners and losers. Here, fairness is about playing by the rules.
Both fairness-as-equality and fairness-as-no-cheating matter. Which is more important: equality or no-cheating? I think the answer is neither. The national lottery(彩票), l ike other lotteries, certainly doesn’t make the world more equal: a few people get rich and most people get nothing. Nevertheless, we hope, it is fair --- but what does this mean? The fairness-as-no-cheating viewpoint has a ready answer: a lottery is fair if it is conducted according to the “rules”. But which rules? None
of us has the slightest idea, I suspect. Suppose that buried in the small print at lottery HQ is a rule that forbid s people with a particular surname (let’s say, Moriarty). So a Ms Moriarty could buy a ticket each week for years without any chance of success.
How would she react if she found out? Surely with anger: how dare the organisers let her play, week after week, without mentioning that she couldn’t possibly win! She’d reasonably feel unfairly treated because ___________________.
To protest(抗议) against unfairness, then, is to make an accusation of bad faith. From this viewpoint, an equal split between the crocodile and the bear seems fair because (normally, at least), it is the only split they would both agree to. But were the girl to learn that the crocodile doesn’t like biscuits or that the bear isn’t hungry, I s uspect she’d think it perfectly fair for one toy to take the whole. Inequality of biscuits (or anything else) isn’t necessarily unfair, if both parties are happy. And the unfairness of cheating come s from the same source: we’d never accept that someone else can unilaterally(单方面地) violate agreements that we have all signed up to.
So perhaps the four-year-old’s intuitions(直觉) about fairness is the beginnings of an understanding of negotiation. With a sense of fairness, people will have to make us acceptable o ffers (or we’ll reject their ultimatums) and stick by the (reasonable) rules, or we’ll be on the warpath. So a sense of fairness is crucial to effective negotiation; and negotiation, over toys, treats etc, is part of life.
65. It can be inferred that in the ultimatum game, _____.
A. Jack keeps back all the money
B. Jill can negotiate fair division with Jack
C. Jack has the final say in the division of money
D. Jill has no choice but to accept any amount of money
66. From Paragraph 2 to 4, we can conclude _____.
A. people will sacrifice money to avoid unfairness
B. fairness means as much to adults as to children
C. something is better than nothing after all
D. a 30-70 split is acceptable to the majority
67. Which of the following does fairness-as-no-cheating apply to?
A. divisions of housework
B. favoritism between children
C. banned drugs in sport
D. schooling
opportunities
68. Which of the following best fits in the blank in Paragraph 7?
A. the lottery didn’t follow the rules
B. she was cheated out of the money
C. the lottery wasn’t equal at all
D. she would never have agreed to those
rules
69. The chief factor in preventing unfairness is to _____.
A. observe agreements
B. establish rules
C. strengthen morality
D. understand
negotiation
70. The main purpose of the passage is to ______
A. declare the importance of fairness
B. suggest how to achieve fairness
C. present different attitudes to fairness
D. explain why we
love fairness

Amazon’s Top 100 book list changes hourly, but two coloring books for grownups are the mainstays right now.
An artist named Johanna Basford pretty much owns two slots of the top seven books on Amazon, next to household names like Erik Larson and Dr. Phil. But Basford’s books aren’t novels—they’re collections of black-and-white drawings. The artist, who graduated from design school in 2005 and lives in Scotland, has turned her lovely ink drawings into coloring books “for grownups.” And they’re wildly popular, selling millions of copies.
What is it about these books that has made them so popular with adults? Basford told me that when she first suggested to publishers the idea of a grownup coloring book four years ago, “colouring for adults wasn’t the trend it is now. You can imagine how quiet they went after I suggested it.”
But the book she ended up drawing has become a phenomenon: 2013’s Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book is currentl y #2 on Amazon’s Top 100 and has sold 1.4 million copies. The followup, Enchanted Forest: An Inky Quest & Coloring Book, is #6 right now. Why is coloring suddenly a craze amongst grownups?
Basford pointed to some reasons — first, that coloring books are a way for adults who don’t normally draw or paint to be creative. “A blank sheet of paper can be discouraging, but a colouring book acts as a bit of a buffer(缓冲) in this situation,” she says.
Second, coloring books don’t require anywhere near as much logical thought as, say, drawing a portrait. There are psychological benefits, too:
“I’ve heard from so many people ranging from lawyers, financial advisers, business owners and busy mums, all say the same thing: that colouring helps them relax. Then there’re people who are recovering from illness or dealing with a difficult time in their lives, they too find the calming effects of colouring is beneficial to them.”
What’s so striking about Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest is that they’ve managed to stay at the t op of Amazon’s best seller list as physical books, alon gside those that can be instantly downloaded and read. Basford hears that too: She points out that her books are an activity that can be done without the help of your wifi router. “It’s a chance to un plug, look away from the screens and do something fun,” she says. Maybe
Basford has plugged into a vast and unacknowledged desire to really, actually do nothing --- to let the brain take over, without the technology.

81. 请阅读下面文字,并按照要求用英语写一篇150 词左右的文章。

Life is a matter of choice. Seemingly, it means a choice of concrete (具体的) things. But in fact, it means choosing a way of life. Life is to be lived and enjoyed, not to be wasted or complained about.
Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the threat from the life-and death disease --- SARS. Yet, even during those dreadful times, some suffering people remained optimistic. Instead of wearing white masks, some people turned to colorful ones, and thus displayed a happy mood. And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean “SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING.” People who survive these kinds of circumstances decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the hardships.
Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities (逆境), we do have the right to choose to live optimistically, to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes.
Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day.
