第三阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节选择题（共17个小题；每小题2分，满分34分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、 C. D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
It was a great hit. Yet for Kim Peek – the real-life "savant (独开一窍的人)",on whom Dustin Hoffman's character in the film Rain Man is based – the film only gives a glimpse of his power. He knows 9,000 books off by heart; he can direct people around US cities from maps he memorised years ago, and he has total recall of the dates of all major world events.
Now studies of Peek's abilities are being used by scientists to shed (放射)light on the human mind, and to open the way for men and women to exploit far more of their intellectual (智力) potential, as the latest issue of Scientific American reveals.
"Kim's story tells us that the human brain is far more flexible than we had thought," said Darold TrefFert, a psychiatrist of the Scientific American Paper told The Observer.
"Like many other savants, he has suffered disability in one area of his brain, but has been rewarded by acquiring remarkable new abilities in other areas. This shows we all have considerable hidden intellectual potential. By studying Kim and other savants, we can learn how to tap those powers."
Kim, now 54，was born with a malformed cerebellum(畸形的小脑),and at the base of his brain, lacks a corpus callosum, the thick bundle of nerves that normally connects the brain's two hemispheres. In 1988 he was given an IQ rating of 87, well below the average.
Kim has poor physical condition, and cannot button his own shirts but has remarkable memory power and has started to develop as an accomplished pianist in the last two years. This latest development –in a man in his fifties with large chunks(数量)of his brain missing –is particularly significant, added Treffert. "His brain is still adapting to his condition, even in mid-life."
Kim displays little personal interest in people outside the arithmetical details of their lives. When I talked to him by phone on his home in Salt Lake City last week, he asked for my birthday. I told him. "Ah, you were born on a Sunday, and you are scheduled to retire on a Thursday," he replied correctly.
"He remembers 98 percent of what he reads," said his father Fran. "It's like downloading data onto a hard disk – except his nerve crashes."
56.From the passage, we learn that the film Rain Man tells about a person ________ .
A. with bad memories
B. who can learn 8,000 books by heart
C. who is less powerful than the real person
D. who is not real
57.The reason why Peek's case of special interest to scientists is that ___________ .
A.he provides a way for himself to develop his talents
B.he himself is a person of much knowledge and great power
C.his case gives scientists some hints on human intellectual potential
D.he is high in IQ rating and has super power
58.By studying Peek's case, scientists believe ________ .
A.people with physical disabilities usually have great intellectual power
B.people with a disability in one area of their brain usually have greater ability in other areas
mon people don't have such hidden intellectual potential
mon people have more hidden intellectual power than disabled people
59.What does the author of the passage think of Peek?
A. He still has doubts about Peek's ability.
B. He thinks Peek never makes mistakes.
C. Peek only has a good memory.
D. He believes that Peek has remarkable abilities.
B
Motorists used to listening to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.
A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of "melody(旋律) roads", which use cars as tuning forks (音叉)to play music as they travel.
The concept works by using grooves (凹槽)，They are cut at very specific intervals (间隔）in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.
Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct (独特的)tune.
Patent documents for the design describe it as notches (刻痕)"formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody-like tones".
There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan – one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda. He scraped (刮) some markings into a road with a bulldozer (推土机) before driving over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones.
The optimal speed for melody road is 44kph, but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound.
"You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well," wrote one Japanese blogger. "Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward, while driving around 12mph [20km/h] has a slow-motion effect, making you almost car-sick."
60.According to the passage, melody roads use __________ to create different notes.
A. cars
B. grooves
C. spaces between intervals
D. bulldozers
61.We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is depended on ___________ .
A. how far the grooves are
B. how big the grooves are
C. the number of the grooves
D. the speed of the car
62.The underlined word "optimal" in the passage might mean _____ .
A. fastest
B. possible
C. limited
D. suitable
63.In order to hear the music well, you have to __________ .
A. drive very fast
B. drive slowly
C. open the windows wide
D. keep the windows closed
C
Some teenagers are crossing their dream colleges off their lists. Others are thinking of skipping their senior trips or reducing prom (毕业舞会)costs. Many are finding their work hours cut while their expenses rise.
So, who exactly is punishing them? Is it their parents, teachers or employers? No, it's the economy.
If you are like most teenagers, you probably don't understand what "recession", "negative economic growth" and "subprime mortgages (次贷危机)" actually mean. And you probably don't spend your days watching the ups and downs of the stock (股票)market.
It's safe to say that most teens don't know much about the economy except for one thing: it's bad. But just how exactly is the economy affecting teens?
"The single largest thing I have noticed is the recession's(衰退)ability to affect my college choice," said Heather Richars from Downey High School in California, US.
"With the economic situation the way it is, I have thought less about going to a private or out-of-state university, and more about public schools in California, mainly because of the price of tuition (学费)", said Richars. "I had been a fan of attending a private school up until this year."
The economy cuts into other areas of teenagers’ lives, too.
Joey Camarda, a student at Modesto High School in California, who works at an ice cream store, said: "Probably due to the economy, I have been getting less hours at my job, and because of that, I am not getting enough money to help pay for college."
Tara Mooney, a senior at Beyer High School, has also begun to notice that money is tight.
"Things are getting expensive," she said. "When it comes to applying for colleges and wanting to go on senior trips, I have to pick and choose instead of doing it all."
64.The purpose of writing the passage is mainly to tell us ________ .
A.the economic recession has had a big impact on teens' work, life and study
B.teenagers are now having difficulty in deciding which colleges to apply for
C- teenagers don't know much about the economic recession
D. teenagers are considering giving up their senior trips to save money
65.Because of the bad economic situation, Heather Richars will most probably ___________ .
A.go to a private university
B.attend an out-of-state college
C.attend a public college in California
D.find a good university as he planned
66.How has Joey Camarda found the recession affects him?
A.He has to find more part-time jobs.
B.He has to help his mother do more chores.
C.He has found that he had more time to study.
D.His plan to pay for college will be hard to realize.
67.What can we conclude from the passage?
A.Parents punish their teens by giving them less money.
B.Most teens understand what negative economic growth means.
C.Teenagers are finding it harder to do what they want than before.
D.Teenagers have realized the importance of managing their own money.
D
HAPPINESS and sadness are states of being that define the way we view the world. It is often said that some people by nature have a sunny character. Now scientists may have discovered why.
Some people may be hard-wired (天生的)for happiness, while others are genetically negative, scientists have suggested in a study published late February, in British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B(《皇家学报B》）•
Earlier research had already established that the gene known as 5-HTTLPR plays a key role in determining how the neurotransmitter(神经传递素)serotonin (含于血液中的复合胺)works within the brain. Serotonin, a hormone(荷尔蒙),passes chemical messages between nerve cells. It has been closely linked to mood. Several anti-depressant (抗抑郁)drugs regulate serotonin levels.
Scientists had also identified three variants (变体)of the gene. Two so-called "short" variants were linked to a higher risk of depression and suicide (自杀)attempts. Unlike the two "short" variants, the "long" variant of 5-HTTLPR showed a clear dislike of negative images, such as fierce animals, and a clear liking for positive ones, such as flowers.
Researchers from the University of Essex in Britain, led by Elaine Fox, showed participants (参加者)a series of images.
The images were divided into three kinds: negative ones aimed at inspiring fear or stress such as a spider or person about to commit suicide, pleasant ones and neutral (中性的)ones.
The participants who had the long variant of the 5-HTTLPR gene "showed a clear dislike of negative material alongside a careful attention for positive material," the researchers found. They paid
close attention to the pretty pictures, and ignored the frightening ones. On the other hand, the short variant groups had the opposite reaction.
In January, the Australian government organized "happiness workshops", teaching government staff how to be happy. The department that held the "happiness workshops" said unhappy staff weren't productive staff-Australian political opposition parties have argued that the "happiness workshops" are probably a waste of money and couldn't increase productivity as intended. However, whether the workshop will have a happy or disappointing result, we will have to wait and see.
68.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The Australian government wants its government staff to be happy.
B.The reason why certain people have a sunny disposition has been discovered.
C.Scientists have discovered several anti-depressant drugs to control moods.
D.Scientists have found different variants of 5-HTTLPR exist in the same person.
69.From the third paragraph, we know that ________ .
A.affected by 5-HTTLPR, the neurotransmitter serotonin works within the blood
B.there are 5 variants of 5-HTTLPR genes which control people's moods
C.how the neurotransmitter serotonin works is greatly determined by 5-HTTLPR
D.5-HTTLPR receives chemical messages from nerve cells
70.What does "It" in the sentence "It has been closely linked to mood." in the 3rd paragraph refer
to?
A. Serotonin.
B. A nerve ceil.
C. 5-HTTLPR.
D. The brain.
71.If a person had the long variant of 5-HTTLPR, he or she would probably _________ •
A. like the images of spiders
B. prefer the images of crocodiles
C. enjoy an image of green trees
D. suffer from depression very often
72.What can we infer from the passage?
A.People's moods can change a little bit under the influence of certain drugs.
B.Researchers showed participants of the research two kinds of images.
C.A person may possess one long and one short variant of 5-HTTLPR at the same time.
D.The author firmly believes that "happiness workshops" will not change people's moods.
第二节简答题（共3小题，满分6分）阅读下面短文，根据第73至第75小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。

Massachusetts today looks nothing like it did when the first English settlers arrived. Back in the 17th century, forest blanketed the land. Today, roads and towns cover much of the area. But the past is not dead and gone. Just an hour's drive from Boston lies Plimoth Plantation (种植园).
There you'll experience the 17 century life of the Pilgrims (清教徒).You can look in the Pilgrims' homes, watch the way they cook, and ask them about their daily lives. You can even help them build houses or work in the fields.
When you arrive at Plimoth, you are greeted with "How do you fare?" instead of "How are you?" In this living history plantation, actors portray (扮演)real people from H^-century Plymoth. Each actor has taken the identity of someone from that period.
All the actors speak the language of Shakespeare. They're happy to talk about the hardships of their lives or just share the gossip (闲话)of the day. But don't try to discuss modern topics. They won't understand what you are talking about!
In the fall, you can enjoy a harvest dinner very similar to the first Thanksgiving. You'll dine with your hands like Pilgrims. You'll find no pepper on the table. This expensive spice was used only sparingly (节俭地)in cooking. You'll find no last -course "dessert", either. At the time, people ate sweet dishes right along with other parts of the meal.
Cranberries (蔓越橘)were on the menu then and still are today. A short distance from Pilmoth, you can visit Cranberry World. At this unique museum, you'll see how cranberries are harvested and can taste different cranberry products.
Of course, the first Thanksgiving included not only the Pilgrims, but also their Wampanoag guests. If you want to learn about the Wampanoag, you can explore a recreated Wampanoag Home Site. It is just a short walk from Plimoth. Step into the Native American home and enter a different world. Native Americans dressed in 17 -century Wampanoag outfits describe how their people lived 400 years ago. Outside, you can help make a traditional boat or learn about native plant remedies (治疗法).
Much in Massachusetts has changed since the 17th century, but in Plimoth, the past lives on.
73.What is unique about Plimoth Plantation?(回答词数不超过8个）
74.How cm visitors enjoy Cranberry World?(回答词数不超过10个）
75.What is the purpose of the author's writing this passage?(回答词数不超过4个)

American public education has changed in recent years. One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools.
In 1991, there were no charter schools in the United States. Today, more than 2,300 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia. 575,000 students attend these schools.
A charter school is created by groups of parents, teachers and community members. It is similar in some ways to a traditional public school. It receives tax money to operate a number of students. The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning. These governments provide the school with the agreement that permits it to operate.
Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools. Local, state or federal governments can't tell it what to teach.
Each school can choose its own goals and deciding the ways it wants to reach those goals. Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools. Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative.
However, state education agencies, local education—governing committees and unions often oppose charter schools. They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools. Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling.
Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the 2006 federal budget. But, often the schools say they lack enough money for their programs. Many also lack needed space. District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education. Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.
