第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
My husband can plan wonderful surprise celebrations for me.Recently，however，I told him I didn’t want him to plan one for my upcoming birthday.
“Why？” he asked.
“I am embarrassed being the center of attention，”I quickly explained.
Later，I began to think more deeply about this reason.Then I remembered the surprise celebration I had planned for my friend Nancy on her 60th birthday.We were roommates on a three-week tour following the Silk Road on those famous steppes (大草原)—and through the mountains—of central Asia.
That afternoon we had arrived at our hotel in Samarkand，Uzbekistan.The young man at the hotel desk told me about a bakery about 10 minutes away.After giving me detailed directions，he added，“Your nose will let you know when you arrive there.”
The temperature was 40 ℃.Soon，my_olfaction proved to be an unfailing guide.Outside the bakery，a delicious smell greeted me.
There were several kinds of breads，cookies，and cakes on display.There were also beautiful
iced cakes.I chose a cake topped with powdered sugar.
Later at the Karim Bek Restaurant，Nancy didn’t see the young waiter walk up the steps with the cake.When I began singing “Happy Birthday，”everyone at our table—except Nancy—joined in.
It took her a moment to realize what was happening.Then the grinning (咧嘴笑的) guest of honor thanked me，blew out the candles on the cake，and ate three pieces of it.
Today，after reliving this experience in my mind，I told my husband to ignore my request.I now understand what a surprise party is about：It is not about having a surprise party but rather the delight in giving it.That is what brings the satisfying joy.
56．Why did the author go to the bakery?
A．To get some bread for her journey.
B．To experience the local taste in Samarkand.
C．To buy a birthday cake for her friend.
D．To eat some iced cakes to cool herself down.
57．The underlined words “my olfaction” in Paragraph 7 most probably refer to________.
A．the waiter at the hotel B．the author’s sense of smell
C．the author’s friend D．the author’s map
58．The party held at the Karim Bek Restaurant was________.
A．very successful B．a little simple
C．quite boring D．too noisy
59．From the last paragraph we learn that now the author________.
A．becomes less interested in surprise parties
B．thinks surprise parties are embarrassing
C．enjoys giving others surprises
D．realizes the true meaning of surprise parties
60．From the passage，we can NOT infer that________.
A．the author’s birthday is coming
B．the author’s husband loves her very much
C．the author and Nancy have been roommates for three weeks
D．the author has already spent her 60th birthday
B
After a very busy afternoon，as I walked into my house，I heard the phone ringing.It was my friend Lydia，upset over an argument with her husband.My usual approach is to offer advice，but this time，exhausted from chores，I simply sat down in a chair and listened to my friend’s frustration and sadness.Without the disturbance of judgment or the desire to comfort her，I stayed totally quiet while she talked.Eventually Lydia’s depression eased and we said our
goodbyes.The next day she phoned to thank me.“I’m so grateful for the way you helped me through this，” she said.
At first I was surprised.After all，I had done nothing except be there for her.But after I had my own venting (发泄的) experience with another friend later that evening，I realized that my focused silence had some value.In fact，most relationship experts agree that talk is cheap；it’s listening that’s rare and valuable.It allows you not only to hear what the other person is saying，but also to have a clear understanding of her thoughts and feelings.And for the speaker，that level of understanding translates into concern and respect.
Unfortunately，listening isn’t as easy as it sounds.Thanks to schedules filled with family and work，multitasking has become a barrier (障碍) to listening.My tiredness may have been the only thing stopping me from folding laundry or checking my e-mail while Lydia talked that afternoon.
Another barrier to listening is our listening system：Most of us take in only about half of what’s being said during a conversation，according to the International Listening Association.Research shows that we speak at 125 to 150 words per minute，yet think at 500 words a minute.Therefore，because we think much more quickly than we speak，it is easy for us to lose our concentration when listening to speakers.
While it can be hard to focus at times，it’s a skill worth developing.With a little practice (employing some techniques)，you can become a better listener.
61．Why didn’t the author give any advice to Lydia that afternoon?
A．Because she thought her keeping silence was better for Lydia.
B．Because she didn’t know how to comfort Lydia.
C．Because she was too tired to talk to Lydia.
D．Because she couldn’t cut in while Lydia was talking.
62．In Paragraph 2，the author mainly talks about________.
A．the importance of listening
B．the importance of venting anger
C．her own listening experience
D．her own venting experience
63．The author uses the result of the research in Paragraph 4 to mainly show that________.
A．we think much more quickly than we speak
B．we can only understand about half of what we hear
C．there is not much thinking time available while we are listening
D．we lose our concentration easily while we are listening
64．What will be discussed following the passage?
A．Why listening is valuable.
B．What we should do while listening.
C．How to become a good listener.
D．How to stop drifting off while listening.
65．The first paragraph serves as a(n)________．
A．explanation B．introduction
C．comment D．background
C
The name England comes from the words “Angle land”．The Angles were people who came from northern Germany in the 5th and 6th centuries，after the Romans had left.The French name for England is Angleterre，which also means “Angle land”．There were also invasions (侵略) of southern England by Saxons and Jutes (people from another part of northern Germany)．English people are sometimes called Anglo-Saxons.The Celts who used to live in this area were forced to move back into Scotland，Ireland，Cornwall and into Western France (the area known as Brittany)．England at first became a series of kingdoms，the strongest of which was Wessex (the name comes from West-Saxon)．The names of many of the areas in England come from this period—for example，the name Sussex comes from South-Saxon，Essex from East-Saxon，and East Anglia from East-Angle.The Vikings then came from Denmark，and later the Normans invaded from France.Eventually England，Wales，Scotland and Northern Ireland were united，forming the United Kingdom.
The English language is the main language spoken throughout England，although there are many different accents.It can be difficult to know how to spell or to pronounce some English words，because the language has been influenced by Latin and Greek (languages used at the time of the Romans，and used in religion and education until recent times)，German (the language of the Angles，Saxons and Jutes)，French(the language of the Normans)，Gaelic/Scots (Celtic languages) and Danish (the language of the Vikings)．
There are now many people throughout the United Kingdom who speak a foreign language either as their first or second language；mainly due to immigration (移民) from Europe or the Commonwealth (countries which used to be part of the British Empire)．
66．According to the first paragraph，which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．The Romans were forced to leave England when the Jutes attacked there.
B．The Celts used to live in England but left for some reason.
C．Southern England once was attacked by Saxons and Jutes.
D．Angles and Saxons came from different parts of northern Germany.
67．In the history of England，________once was the strongest kingdom.
A．Sussex B．Wessex
C．Essex D．East Anglia
68．What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A．English words are hard to spell and to pronounce.
B．England had been invaded by most of the countries of Europe.
C．The English language was influenced by several foreign languages.
D．It’s hard for people who have different English accents to communicate.
69．Why do many people in the UK speak a foreign language nowadays?
A．Because they are required to learn a foreign language at school.
B．Because they plan to live outside the UK in the future.
C．Because they have moved from other countries.
D．Because they have worked in other countries.
70．The author writes this passage to________.
A．tell the history of England
B．tell how the United Kingdom was formed
C．introduce the main spoken language throughout England
D．tell the origin of the name of England
D
Teens are more likely to behave badly if their parents expect them to，a new US study has found.
“Parents who believe they are simply being realistic might actually be having a bad effect on their children，” Christy Buchanan，a teacher at Wake Forest University and one of the authors of the study，said.“Bad expectations on the part of both parents and children predict more rebellious (叛逆的) behaviors later on.”
The finding came from a study of more than 250 sixth-and seventh-graders and their mothers.They were examined at the start of the study and again one year later.If kids’ mothers expected them to take more risks and be more rebellious，higher chances of risky behavior were seen.This_was_also_true when kids had bad expectations of themselves.
“Sometimes parents expect more negative behavior from their children than they should based on the children’s history of behavior，”Buchanan said.Parents shouldn’t be naive (无知的) about the possibility of bad behavior，she said，but it’s also a mistake to think that children who are well-behaved will naturally become rebellious at the age of 13.
“By thinking risk-taking or rebelliousness is normal for teenagers and showing that to their children，parents might add to other messages from society that make teenagers feel that they are strange if they are not willing to take risks or break laws，”she said.“This can mean，for example，that when parents expect teens to drink before they turn 21 or to do other risky behaviors，kids are less likely to refuse to do so later in their lives.”
On the other hand，parents’ expectations that teens can exhibit good behaviors and refuse to
behave badly or to take risks could help reduce the possibility of bad behavior，Buchanan said.“As a parent，you should put expectations on your children carefully.”
71．The passage is centered around the topic of________.
A．parental rights B．children’s habits
C．parental education D．parent-children relationship
72．What do we know about the study?
A．Only mothers were examined.
B．Participants were examined twice.
C．250 people were examined in the study.
D．Christy Buchanan was the only author of the study.
73．What does the underlined part “This was also true” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The kids were more likely to take dangerous behavior.
B．The kids would have bad expectations of their parents.
C．The kids were likely to go against their mothers.
D．Mothers expected their kids to behave badly.
74．Children may be more rebellious if________.
A．they know parents think risk-taking is normal
B．parents put little expectation on them
C．they behave well before they turn 13
D．they are asked not to take risks
75．What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A．Risk-taking is normal for teens.
B．Why are my teens behaving badly?
C．Don’t expect too much from your teens.
D．Bad expectations lead to bad-behaving teens.

[6] “It will promote more Sino-Us(中美)exchange programs，and more Chinese will be involved in these exchanges.” He said that China also has received a lot of support and funding from overseas donors，and Zhang’s move should be regarded with “respect，understanding and encouragement.”
