第三部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

A
(2012·河南洛阳统考)
In the USA，driving laws differ somewhat from state to state and considerably from what you are used to.Here is a list of some important differences.
Speed Limits
Speed limits are designated in miles per hour(MPH)，not kilometers.One mile equals 1.6093 kilometers.Within cities the speed limit is usually 25 mph.Major streets with two or more lines may post a higher limit of 35 mph，but you should assume a 25 mph limit unless you see a sign with a higher limit.Highways have a speed limit of 55 mph，with some interstate highways posting a higher limit of 65 mph.Fines for speeding are heavy and can result in higher insurance fees and license suspension(扣留)．
Driving on the Right
Unlike the UK，some countries in Asia，in Australia，and in the United States cars drive on the right side of the road，and steering wheels(方向盘) are located on the left side of the car.
Even if you don't drive a car，you need to be aware of this rule.Every year a few international students are hit by cars because they step off the roadsides into the path of oncoming traffic.On most streets cars will be coming from your left，not your right.
Insurance
Most states require you to maintain certain minimum levels of insurance on your car in case you are involved in an accident.The insurance covers your liability(责任) for damage to other cars and injuries caused to all the people involved in the accident.We strongly recommend getting insurance that covers more than the legal minimum.You can also get collision(碰撞) insurance to cover the cost of fixing your car and theft insurance in case the car is stolen，but this is only worthwhile for a new car or a model of recent years.If you don't have car insurance，you won't be able to register the car.
56．When driving in an American city，you'd better limit your speed within about ______.
A．25 mph B．35 mph C．55 mph D．65 mph
57．If you drive beyond the speed limits，you'll ______.
A．be sent into prison B．get no car insurance
C．have to pay much money D．be taken to the police station
58．We learn from the passage that international students in America ______.
A．always drive cars on the left B．can hardly afford to have their own cars
C．know about the rules clearly D．should pay more attention to the rules
59．Which car insurance should you get in order to save your money to repair your car?
A．Liability insurance. B．Theft insurance.
C．Collision insurance. D．Injury insurance.
B
The Alps are the youngest and highest mountain system in Europe.They stretch across the western and southern part of the continent in a broad arc.The mountain range starts near the Mediterranean Sea on the border between France and Italy.Then it curves north and eastward through northern Italy，Switzerland，Liechtenstein，southern Germany，Austria and Slovenia.
The Alps are about 1,000 km long，and the broadest section is over 260 km wide.The highest peak，Mont Blanc，situated on the border between France，Italy and Switzerland，rises 4,807 meters
above sea level.Other famous peaks are the Monte Rosa，the Matterhorn，the GroBglockner and the Zugspitze.
Millions of years ago the area of today's Alps was covered by a large sea that separated Europe and Africa.The southern land mass started moving northwards.This movement folded rock layers at the bottom of the sea.Heat and pressure transformed the rock and pushed the_material upwards.Today these regions are the highest parts of the Alps.Most of the newly formed rock is granite and gneiss，but many ranges consist of limestone which also formed on the seabed.
During the Ice Age，which started about a million years ago，the Alps were covered with a thick blanket of snow.Glaciers moved down valleys and made them wider and deeper.As they moved they took rock and other material with them，creating moraines(冰碛)．When glaciers started to melt water filled up behind these natural dams and created the alpine lakes we know today.
The largest of these glaciers is the Aletsch in Switzerland which reaches a length of about 25 km.The longest glacier of the eastern Alps is the 8 km long Pasterze，at the foot of the GroBglockner.
The ice and snow of the alpine regions helped create the large rivers of today：the Rhine，Rhone，Danube and the Po.
60．From the first two paragraphs we know the Alps ______.
A．are about 260 km wide
B．stretch across the western part of Africa
C．are the youngest mountain system in the world
D．have the highest peak 4,807 meters above sea level
61．What does the underlined phrase “this material” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Sea water and rock. B．Rock that was transformed.
C．Rock layers that were folded. D．Limestone which was on the seabed.
62．It can be inferred from the passage that the Alps were formed ______.
A．before the Ice Age B．during the Ice Age
C．because of seas' movement D．because of glaciers' movement
63．From the passage we know Danube is ______.
A．a kind of rock B．one of the Alps' famous peaks
C．the name of a river D．one of the largest glaciers
C
(2012·南京学情调查)
There is a boy called Bill in my gym class who has unbearable yellow teeth that almost make everyone feel unpleasant.Recently another boy told Bill that he should have his teeth scaled(刮除牙石)．Bill was crushed.If the other boy had been thinking，he would have realized that there is a better way to handle such a situation.He could have dealt with it with tact(得体)．He could have showed this hurtful truth in a more careful，sensitive way—that's tact.
If a person isn't sensitive to another's feelings，there is no way he or she can be tactful.Yesterday，my 5­year­old brother proudly announced that he had cleaned the screen of our television set.Unfortunately，he used furniture polish，which produced an oily film on the television screen.My mother smiled and thanked him for his efforts and then showed how to clean the screen properly.Her sensitivity enables my brother to keep his self­respect.Yet，sensitivity alone does not make tact.
“Tactfulness” also requires “truthfulness”．Doctors，for example，must be truthful.If a patient has just been disabled in an accident，a tactful doctor will tell the truth but express it with sensitivity.The doctor may try to give the patient hope by telling him curing techniques under study or about advanced equipment now available.Doctors must use tact with patients' relatives as well.Instead of bluntly saying，“Your husband is disabled，” a doctor might say，“I'm sorry，but your husband has lost feeling in his legs and...”
Tact should not be confused with trickery.Trickery occurs when a nurse is about to give a patient an injection(注射) and says，“This won't hurt a bit.”Instead of trickery，the nurse might guarantee the patient that the discomfort of the injection is a small thing compared to the benefits of it.It would also be thoughtful for the nurse to tell the patient about some of
these benefits.
Tact is a wonderful skill to have，and tactful people are usually admired and respected.Without tact our society would become an intolerable place to live in.
64．The underlined word “crushed” in the first paragraph probably means ______.
A．surprised B．cheated C．regretful D．upset
65．According to the author，his mother was ______ to his brother.
A．sensitive and tactful B．sensitive but not tactful enough
C．truthful but not tactful enough D．sensitive but tricky
66．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Trickery often occurs in hospital. B．Tactfulness means truthfulness.
C．We should be tactful in our society. D．Nurses are not honest to patients.
D
(2012·银川一中第四次考试)
The common cold is the world's most widespread illness，which is a plague that man receives.
The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold.They are not.They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person.You catch a cold by coming into contact，directly or indirectly，with someone who already has one.If cold causes colds，it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever.But they do not.And in isolated Arctic regions，explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.
During the First World War，soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches，cold and wet，seldom caught colds.
In the Second World War，prisoners at Auschwitz concentration camp，naked and starved，were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.
At the Common Cold Research Unit in England，volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time.After taking hot baths，they put on bathing suits，allowed themselves to be with cold water，and then stood about dripping wet in a room.Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion.Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
If then，cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds，why are they more frequent in winter？Despite the hardest research，no one has yet found out the answer.One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times，and that makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
No one has yet found a cure for the cold.There are drugs and painkillers such as aspirin，but all that they do is to relieve the symptoms.
67．The writer offered ______ examples to support his argument.
A．4 B．5 C．6 D．3
68．Arctic explorers may catch colds when ______.
A．they work in the isolated Arctic regions
B．they write reports in terribly cold weather
C．they are free from work in the isolated Arctic regions
D． they come into touch with people with colds from the outside world
69．Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit ______.
A．suffered a lot B．never caught colds
C．often caught colds D．became very strong
70．The passage mainly discusses ______.
A．the experiments on the common cold B．the false belief about the common cold
C．the reason why people catch colds D．the continued spread of the common cold

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Arguing with your parents is very natural for teens.From your hairstyle to your friends, your marks at school to your television habits, it might just seem like you argue with your parents
about everything.__71__ In the meantime, remember to argue fairly, argue respectfully and argue only when needed.__72__
Arguments between teens and parents generally come about when both parties believe that they know what is the best.Parents have been caring for their teens for over ten years, but teens are quickly becoming adults and believe that they are able to take care of themselves.__73__ If you must argue with them, argue fairly by：
▲Letting each person involved in the argument speak what they want to say.
▲Refusing to interrupt others when they are speaking.
▲Only arguing about the topic at hand.__74__
▲Showing your parents that you have thought about the issue and are trying to sort things for yourself.
There is a small difference between having a discussion and engaging in an argument, but smart teens know that having a discussion with their parents will make things easier.
Arguing with parents is usually a mark of the teenaged years, but out of control arguments don't serve anyone well.__75__
A．They have some freedom but it's limited and they want more.
B．If you are a teen arguing with your parents, remember that your parents love you and only want what is the best for you.
C．Though this is not pleasant, it is normal and it will most likely pass.
D．It might be hard to stay in control while arguing with parents, but it will certainly keep your relationship stronger than it would be otherwise.
E．Before arguing with your parents, decide what type of teen you want to be and what you are willing to do in order to achieve your goals.
F．It's so strange that teens often argue with their parents.
G．Don't talk about the past hurts.

It was raining hardly outside, that made it difficult for me to go home for lunch.Just as I was wondering what I should eat at noon, I saw a familiar figure passed by our classroom.I rushed out and it was my mother, who is already in the fifties, that brought me lunch, regardless the heavy rain.In China, many parents make great sacrifices for our children.But what had the children done in return？All too often, most children just take it for granted that their parents should serve for them unconditionally.My dear mum or dad, thank you very much for bringing me up.How shall I do for you?

21．B sitting near the window作man的定语，使其具有特指意义，因此第一空用定冠词；researcher 在句中为泛指意义，表示身份和职业，因此第二空用不定冠词。

故选B项。

22．B 句意：为了买点盐，这位粗心的家庭主妇把鱼留在天然气上煮着就下了楼。
