第三节阅读理解（共２０小题；每小题２分，满分４０分）
A
How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else). Registered dietitian(营养专家) Barhara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.
“Go for nutrient dense foods,” she suggests, “foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice-the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can’t compare the value of these foods, the nutrient dense ones are so superior,” she emphasizes.
Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life —it’s the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amounts or balance.
According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you superwoman is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.
“We ne ed carbohydrates, protein and fat — they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,” she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions. And if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless.”
56. From the paragraph we know that working women .
A.think cooking is especially complicated
B.do not share the same views with re gistered dietitians
C. are busy and not interested in cooking
D. are likely to eat healthfully
57. Orange juice is different from orange drink in that .
A. it contains only a small percentage of real juice
B. it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real oranges
C. it is largely orange-colored sugar water
D. it produces nothing but calories
58. In Paragraph 4, “a fruitless search” means .
A.an effort with no results
B. a search for a diet without fruits
C. a research on fruitless diet
D. a diet serving as medicine
59. Many women take it for granted, according to passage that .
A. a balanced diet can result in being fat
B. staying thin and healthy are both possible
C. lack of variety in diets leads to staying thin
D. vitamins are some kind of substitutions (替代品) for food
60. By “if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless”, the author means .
A. carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human life
B. vitamins and minerals are virtually of no value
C. carbohydrates, protein and fat are as important as vitamins and minerals
D. without carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no use
B
A “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a “blog”. The word“blog” is a short way of saying Web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.
There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas in many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write about their ideas and react to the ideas of others.
A research company called Perscus has studied more than 300 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use the m to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.
However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs . And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.
At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his fre e blog service “weblogs. c om”. He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago. And thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing.
One blog that is still goi ng strong is called Rebecca’s Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the Web-site in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called “The Weblog Handbook”. It has been translated into four languages so far.
Ms. Blood says R ebecea’s Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything--politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on -line bank accounts.
61. The author wrote this passage mainly to _________.
A. introduce an Internet computer Web site called “blog”
B. introduce a short way of saying Weblog
C. tell readers about blogs

People with disabilities make up a large part of the population. It is estimated that over 35million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are “developmental”, ie, they occur before the individual’s twenty-second birthday, often from genetic conditions, and are bad enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc. Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious”, i.e., accidental or caused by outside forces.
Before the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unfortunately, these basics are often not available. Civil liberties such as the right to marry, get an education, and gain employment have historically been refused on the basis of disability.
In recent years, the disability rights movement has been organized. Some laws have been passed for protecting the disabled.
Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently. It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do work are underemployed.
Big difficulties, especially in transportation and public indifference, prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer stopped by law from marrying, a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded (排斥) from community and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.
It will only be when public attitudes advance as far as laws have that disabled people will be fully able to take their rightful place in society.
71. A “developmental” disability _______________. .
A. is caused by outside forces
B. is getting worse and worse
C. develops very slowly over time
D. occurs in youth and affects development
72. Most disabled people used to die early because .
A. disabilities destroyed major bodily functions
B. they were not very well looked after
C. medical techniques were not available
D. they were not poor to get proper treatment
73. What can we learn from the text?
A. Few laws have been passed to protect the disabled people.
B. Few disabled people may remain single for their whole life.
C. The public will look down upon the disabled people forever.
D. About half of qualified Americans with disabilities are out of work.
74. In the author’s opinion, to enable the disabled people to take their rightful place in society, _____________________. .
A. more laws should be passed
B.public attitudes should be changed
C. government should provide more aids
D. more public facilities should be set up
75. The best title for this text might be .
A. Disadvantages and the Present Condition of the Disabled
B. Medical Treatment for Disabilities
C. The Differences of the Disabled
D. The Causes for Disabilities
第四节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
(1) Eating meat is not an efficient way to get calories, because livestock such as cows and sheep must eat about 10 times more vegetable matter, in terms of calorie count, than they convert into meat. On the way to a steak, a huge number of food calories are wasted. And yet, humans need protein. Fortunately, insects are full of it.
(2) There are at least 1,700 edible(可吃的) insect species around the world. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) , along with a famous university in the Netherlands, has begun a research project to determine the potential of these insects to supplement (增补) the food supply in Europe and other places. At a conference
in late January in Rome, scientists began to work on a plan to make use of insects as alternative sources of protein.
(3) Eating insects is ______ in many parts of the world. But the practice has come to be regarded with disgust and cruelty in Western cultures simply because countries with cold climate have fewer edible insect species, and these countries have therefore not regarded bug-eating as part of their cultures.
(4)This has led to insects’ not being under use worldwide. “The Western attitude towards eating insects has not encouraged developing countries to place it high on the agen da of development assistance,” FAO states on its website. “As a result, Western donors neglect insects as a possible food source. In fact, Western lifestyles are often copied in developing countries, discouraging the practice.”
(5)FAO is trying to change the trend. Its technical position paper, which will lay out its plan about the introduction of edible insects into the food supply, is expected to become available by mi d-2012.

书面表达 (One possible version)
With the development of science and technology, the climate has been getting warmer and warmer in recent years. To stop global warming we should take some immediate measures.
First, it is believed that saving energy is an effective solution to the problem. For example, turn off the lights, the TV, the computer and so on, if we are not using them, and walk or ride a bike instead of using vehicles when possible.
Second, reducing the amount of waste gases and polluted water is another way to protect the earth. People are used to throwing bottles and plastic bags everywhere. Factories pour polluted water directly into the river and heavy smoke into the air. They are harmful to our earth.
We therefore must act now, and we must act globally. However difficult it may be in the short term, we must keep doing it.
