第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language.
A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
56.The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.
A. science on learning a second language
B. man’s ability of learning a second language
C. that language can help brain power
D. language learning and maths study
57. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _______.
A. a researcher on language learning
B. a second language learner
C. a person who can speak two languages
D. an active language learner
58. We may know from the scientific findings that ________.
A. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is
B. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a
second language
C. the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brain
D. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time
59. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that _________.
A. learning a second language is the same as studying maths
B. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjects
C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language
B
New Zealand is an English-speaking country, but the government recognizes another language, too. This is the Maori language. English sailors began to visit New Zealand after 1770. They found the Maoris, a dark-skinned people, living there. They had come from islands in the Pacific Ocean 400 years before the 14th century.
For a long time the British Government was not very interested in these faraway islands. It was made a British colony in 1840. In this year the first British people came to settle in the new country. More and more settlers came from Britain later.
The Maoris were friendly to the first settlers. But soon the new settlers wanted the Maoris’land. So in 1844 there was a fighting between them. This was the first of several wars between the two peoples. The next fifty years was very bad for the Maoris. Many were killed in the wars. Many more died from new diseases brought by the British. In 1840 there were perhaps 200,000 Maoris. By 1896 this number had fallen to 42,000.
For many years, the British New Zealanders looked down upon the Maoris. Since last century the two peoples have lived in peace. They have equal rights and the Maoris language is one of the languages of the country. Today there are about a quarter of a million Maoris, that is, about 9% of the population. Most of them live in North Island. They have a rich culture and a great love of singing and dancing.
60. How long did it take the British Government to make New Zealand its colony after the
English sailors first visited New Zealand?
A. About 400 years.
B. less than 70 years.
C. More than 74 years.
D. About 126 years.
61. Which of the following is more responsible for the sharp decrease of Maoris’ population?
A. Many pieces of land taken away by the British settlers.
B. The wars between the British settlers and the Maoris.
C. Many deaths caused by some new diseases.
D. A large number of Maoris killed by the British settlers.
62. What does the last paragraph suggest about the Maoris?
A. They are no longer looked down upon by British New Zealanders.
B. For centuries, they have lived with the British New Zealanders peacefully.
C. They live in different areas of the country.
D. Their language is accepted as one of the languages of the country.
63. According to the text, in which of the following periods of time does Maori population reach
its biggest number?
A. From last century till now.

Unlike the other senses, which are only in your head, your sense of touch is all over your body. Throughout your life, you receive an endless flow of information about the world and yourself from your sense of touch. It tells you if something is hot or cold, hard or soft. It sends messages of pain, such as a headache or sore throat, if there is a problem.
There are thousands of tiny sensors (传感器) all over your body. They are all linked together. These sensors are also linked to your spinal cord (脊髓) and your brain to make up your central nervous system. Through this system, the different parts of your body can send messages to your brain. It is then the brain’s job to decide what it is you are actually feeling. All this happens in just a split second.
Not all parts of your body have the same amount of feeling. Areas that have the most nerves, or sensors, have the greatest amount of feeling. For example, the tips of your fingers have more feeling than parts of your arm.
Some sensors get used to the feeling of an object after a period of time. When you first put your shirt on in the morning, you can feel its pressure on your skin. However, some of the sensors stop responding (反应) during the day.
One feeling you cannot get used to is the feeling of pain. Pain is an important message, because it tells your brain that something harmful is happening to you. Your brain reacts by doing something right away to protect you.
64. What are linked together to make up the central nervous system of our body?
A. Head, muscles and bones.
B. The nerves, spinal cord and brain.
C. Sense of touch, sense of smell and sense of taste.
D. Heart, blood-vessels (血管) and brain.
65. Through the central nervous system, how fast can the different parts of our body send
messages to our brain?
A. In two seconds.
B. In one minute.
C. In less than one second.
D. In two minutes.
66. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. It is the brain’s job to receive messages from the sensors on our body.
B. Some sensors get used to the feeling of an object after a period of time.
C. Our sense of touch is all over our body, but the other senses are only in our head.
D. All parts of our body have the same amount of feeling.
67. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. The sense of touch is all over our body.
B. One cannot get used to the sense of pain.
C. Each sense is very important in our daily life.
D. Our body has the same amount of feeling.
D
One of the largest counties in Texas is named for Captain Erastus “Deaf” Smith, a deaf man. Captain Smith was the leader of General Sam Houston’s scouts during the Texas Revolution, the war in which Texas won its freedom from Mexico. The county is called Deaf Smith county.
A scout in the days of the Texas Revolution was much like what a spy (间谍) is today. Captain “deaf” Smith would find out where enemy troops (部队) were camped and how many men the enemy had, and he would report to Sam Houston. Even when other people could not see or hear any sign of people or animals, Captain Smith would know where they were. Sometimes he would guide Texas troops through enemy territory (地域) without the enemy even knowing they were there.
Erastus Smith was born in New York on April 19, 1787, but went to live in Mississippi when he was 11 years old. He went to Texas for a short time in 1817, and four years later returned to Texas to stay. He worked as a surveyor (测量员) before he volunteered for army service after the start of the Texas Revolution.
Smith married a Mexican woman, and they had four children—three girls and one boy. He spent a lot of time learning the customs, manners, and language of the Mexican settlers. When the Texas Revolution began in 1835, Smith at first refused to take part in it out of respect for his family’s tradition. However, after Mexican troops tried to stop him from going to San Antonio to visit his family, he volunteered for service with the Texans. He was made a captain.
68. At first, Smith refused to take part in the Texas Revolution because _________.
A. he didn’t want to support the people of Texas
B. Mexican soldiers stopped him from going to San Antonio
C. the Texans were not very good to him and his family
D. his wife was Mexican and he didn’t want to fight against her people
69. Choose the correct order of the following events.
a. A county in Texas was named after Smith.
b. Smith got married to a Mexican woman.
c. Smith volunteered for service with the Texans.
d. Mexican troops tried to stop him from seeing his family.
e. Smith went to live in Mississippi.
f. The Texas Revolution started.
A. a-b-c-d-e-f
B. e-b-d-c-a-f
C. b-e-f-d-c-a
D. e-b-f-d-c-a
70. Which of the following was a great help in Smith’s work as a scout?
A. His family’s tradition.
B. His experience as a surveyor
C. His deafness.
D. His good eyesight.

Hi, everyone! I will graduate from high school in June. Some of my foreign friends have asked me about the process of entering an American university, so here I will tell you how it works.
First you have to choose which university you want to attend. This is not easy, as there are over 3,000 universities and colleges in the USA. Do you want to stay near home, or do you want to go far away? What do you want to study? Once you have decided what is important to you, I would suggest choosing about five schools to apply to. This way, if one or two schools do not accept you, you still have a chance of being accepted by the others.
After you have chosen which schools you would like to apply to, you have to complete an application form for each one. You also need to ask two or three of your teachers to write letters to the universities explaining why you would be a good university student. For many people, the worst part of applying for university is taking tests. Depending on which college or university you want to enter, you have to take either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which tests your language, math and writing skills, or the American College Test (ACT), which tests your knowledge in English, math, science and history.
After you have been accepted to a university, you need to be able to pay for your study there. To help students pay for their education, the government offers loans which students do not have to repay until after they graduate. Scholarships are also available to students who have excellent grades, are good athletes or have financial needs. Because university tuition is so expensive, many students also work part-time while they are at university.
University courses are quite different from classes at high school. You only attend each class two or three times a week, you have to study a lot more outside of class. Classes are much bigger too and some can have as many as 200 students in them.
There will be many new things to learn, but I think I will enjoy university.

Hello, everyone,
Now I’ll tell you something about our research project The World Food Crisis on behalf of our group. As you know, food shortages have hit many countries in the world and even caused social unrest in some areas.
But who is responsible for the current world food crisis? First, annual world grains output has declined because of climate change. Then lots of farmland has been lost due to the rapid development of industry and urbanization. Besides, faced with the rising energy prices, people have turned to the production of biofuels, which has worsened the severe situation.
Then what should we do to deal with the problem? On one hand, we should focus on the environmental protection and improve the ecology. On the other hand, strict measures should be taken to protect farmland. Of course, to build a harmonious world the developed countries should take their responsibilities to help the poor ones experiencing food shortage.
As for me, I will call on the people around me to take immediate action. And for the moment, I think, we should put our heart into our own studies to get more scientific knowledge and help solve the food shortage in the future.。
