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、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Our children were upstairs unpacking, and I was looking out the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. My parents lived nearby, and Dad had visited us several times already. “What are you d oing out there?” I called to him.
He looked up, smiling. “I’m making you a surprise.”
Knowing my father, I thought it could be just
▃▄▅▆▇██■▓点亮心灯 ~~~///(^v^)\\\~~~ 照亮人生▃▄▅▆▇██■▓
crocuses. I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did.
He died suddenly one October day. My family was in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith. I missed him terribly.
Four years passed, and on a dismal spring afternoon I was driving back when I found myself feeling depressed. “You’ve got the winter depression again and you get them every year.” I told myself.
It was Dad’s birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual --- my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived his faith. Once I saw him give his coat to a homeless man.
Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. And there on the muddy grass and small gray piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.
How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years old, one that had not blossomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.
Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day. But it built my faith for a lifetime.

A. the writer was unpacking when her father was making the surprise

We can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.
His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.
Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in W estern medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.
According to Shen, it is the kidney（肾脏）which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging ▃▄▅▆▇██■▓点亮心灯 ~~~///(^v^)\\\~~~ 照亮人生▃▄▅▆▇██■▓
process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The T elegraph newspaper.
W e notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.
So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?
This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.
60. How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?
A. By studying Western medicine.
B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine.
C. By combining both W estern and Chinese medicine.
D. By doing research on both W estern and Chinese people.
61. What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?
A. Medical treatment.
B. People’s good kidney.
C. Level of people’s activity.
D. Positive life attitude.
62. The reason why people become old is that _________.
A. their bodies produce T-cells
B. their bodies are unable to fight diseases
C. they have reduced strength, loss of hair
D. they become weaker and weaker
63. W e can probably learn from the passage that _________.
A. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep young
B. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for health
C. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the body
D. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine is
C

As China becomes increasingly urbanized (城市化), it has to find space for its urban and
rural citizens as both groups become increasingly integrated. Experts suggest a possible model way may be “re-inventing” a “garden city”.
China’s mega-cities are bursting at the borders and the country is now undergoing the quickest and biggest urbanization in the history of mankind. It is estimated that by 2025, China will have 400 million more people living in its cities, raising its urban population to 900 million. Besides, new satellite towns are mushrooming on the urban fringes while city ring roads are rippling outwards into the countryside at amazing speed. Satellite maps collected by Professor Joshua Bolchover at the University of Hong Kong bring the problem sharply into focus. They track the changing rural-urban framework in the past 30 years, and suggest that cities are cruelly destroying surrounding rural land and rapidly reducing the amount of arable （可耕种的）land, which gives way to new residential blocks, new industrial zones, new financial centers and the other inevitable signs and signatures of economic growth.
This, however, is not sustainable growth pattern, especially when China has the world’s largest population to feed. So concerned urban planners are starting to note the social and physical effects of diaspora （大移居）when replaced rural communities are forced into the cities.
,
On the other hand, a trend of thought is gradually taking shape and this is the concept of the “garden city”
enjoyed dropping by for a relaxing chat or just to see how well the lovely vegetables and fruit are doing.
Although people like Zhang are still rare and the greening of roof space with vegetables and fruit takes skill and energy, with more positive media exposure and advanced technology there is the prospect that
▃▄▅▆▇██■▓点亮心灯 ~~~///(^v^)\\\~~~ 照亮人生▃▄▅▆▇██■▓
garden city will become common practice in the near future. By then, cities will no longer look so gray when seen from the satellites.
67. Some experts suggest re-inventing a “garden city” because _________.
A. it is the only model way to save the cities
B. it helps stop destroying the rural areas
C. increasing urbanization takes place in China
D. China has the largest population to feed
68. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To show the experts’ concern about the increase of population.
B. To persuade people into supporting economic growth in cities.
C. To explain the reasons for the change of rural-urban framework.
D. To inform the readers of the consequences of quick urbanization.
69. In Hua Li’s opinion, a combination of country and city will __________.
A. benefit the environment and lower living costs
B. become a project that needs a long-term study
C. lead to more rural communities being replaced
D. attract more farmers to take tours in cities
70. As for the concept of the “garden city”, the writer feels_________.
A. desperate
