第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每题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。

A
The Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Willson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.
Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The world’s first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum’s most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.
Three of Peale’s seventeen children were also famous artists. Raphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits.
James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures (小画像). His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.
56. The author mentions in Paragraph 1 that Washington tipped his hat to the figures
in the painting to show that ________.
A. Charles Willson Peale’s painting was very lifelike
B. Washington respected Charles Willson Peale’s work
C. Washington was friendly with Raphaelle and Titian Peale
D. the painting of the two brothers was very large
57. The underlined word “unearthed” is closest in meaning to“ ______”.
A. showed
B. dug up
C. invented
D. looked over
58. Which of the following is NOT the child of Charles Willson Peale?
A. Titian Peale.
B. Rubens Peale.
C. Raphaelle Peale.
D. Sarah Miriam Peale.
59. The author’s attitude toward the Peales is in general _______.
A. puzzled
B. excited
C. admiring
D. disappointed
B
Everyone’s at it, even my neighbors. I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn’t done an eBay deal. So I decided to try my hand at online auction (网上拍卖).
If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids for you .The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid
again. Auctions last up to 10 days, and when they finish you get an e-mail telling you whether you have won the item.
How to pay: Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card（信用卡）.
Selling made simple: If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends’ advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid.
The big things in life: It’s easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collected or sent by deliverymen. Check the ways of delivery before you bid.
60. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to make payment online.
B. Ways of making delivery online.
C. How to use an online-auction system.
D. Advantages of an online auction system.
61. After bidding for an item, a buyer________________.
A. can’t buy other items any more
B. should make payment immediately
C. must give your credit card to the seller
D. has chances to make higher bids
62. The easiest way of making payment mentioned in the passage is___________.
A. by sending the money to the seller
B. through a local bank system
C. through an online payment system
D. by paying the delivery man directly
C
While surfing television channels over the weekend，a scene from a family classic of last year portraying the now-so-familiar sorry state of retired parents being ill-treated by their children and families caught my attention. I wondered why the description of this relationship had not changed much over the many years! Even though the same movies and soaps accurately capture several other social changes around us — from value systems to new found economic freedom to the importance of technology and the changing approach to consumerism (消费主义) — are these creative efforts far from the truth in telling us that an average retiree is still struggling?
Look around and you will agree that the post-retired lifestyle for an ex-salaried class people is often a pale shadow of their last working years. Even self employed people, who have handed over the responsibility to the next generation, are no exception. Did the average middle class not save enough through his working years?
Socially, we already know that the Indians are taught the benefits of start saving early on in life. Household savings data supports this social behavior — India has the highest rates of savings among various economies and is far ahead of the west. Yet, tragically, a lifetime of savings does not seem to provide enough for a comfortable retirement!
A closer look at the pattern of what we do with our financial savings may tell us
a bit more. Over half of households’ financial savings is put into a “safe” deposit, followed by large portions in insurance, pension, provident funds（福利基金）and the rest in physical currency. Less than a tenth goes into “risky” assets (资产) like stocks. While there might be nothing, in particular, worrisome in this investment pool, one has to consider inflation (通货膨胀). The real value of savings, over a few decades, may actually be lower than the starting point.
63. What had not changed much over the many years according to the passage?
A. Value systems
B. The poor situation of retirees
C. Economic freedom
D. Approach to consumerism
64. Which of the following statements about saving in India is right?
A. the concept of saving has been well received by Indians.
B. the amount of the savings ranks number one across the world.
C. long-standing savings can help the retirees live a care-free life.
D. saving early can not benefit people at all.
65. What can be inferred according to the last paragraph?
A. Half of the financial savings in stocks can be accepted.
B. The real value of saving must be lowered in a few years.
C. A loss of savings may hardly be avoided.
D. Inflation can be avoided on condition that you consume instead of saving.
66. What’s the best title of the text?
A. Retirees being treated unfairly
B. Is saving enough
C. Saving in India
D. How to deal with saving
D
Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation leads on to deliberate imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.
It is a problem we need to get our teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether
anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.
67. Before children start speaking________.
A. they need different amounts of listening
B. they need equal amount of listening
C. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions
D. they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral instructions
68. Children who start speaking late ________.
A. may have problems with their listening
B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
C. usually pay close attention to what they hear
D. often take a long time in learning to listen properly
69. The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitations can be considered as
speech________.
A. is important because words have different meanings for different people
B.is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words
changes with age
C. is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually
D. is one that should be completely ignored because children’s use of words is
often meaningless
70. The speaker implies________.
A. parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds
B. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak
C. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly
D. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating

As a parent, you must have a lot of concerns regarding the various skills you would like your child to acquire. Music is one of them. 71 On the other hand, it is great for a child’s overall development if he or she has an interest in the fine arts.
