第三节阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
My son and I were trying to sell the house we had, repaired, but in the barn(谷
仓) there were bats and they would not leave. The barn was their home. They hung there
in the barn and seemed determined to stay for the season. "Don' t worry about it,
Dad," Patrick said, "they keep down the mosquitoes."
Unfortunately they also kept the buyers away. When we asked a person to sell the
house for us, he refused to see it because of the bats. "Bats are popular," Patrick
comforted me, "they're ecological." "Isn't there a machine you can buy that has high
frequency sounds to keep bats away?" I asked. "I don't know," said Patrick, "But I
like bats and whoever buys this house will probably like them too." "How many bats
are there, anyway? ""I counted about 90 last night," said Patrick, "They were dropping
out from under the edge of the roof. " "You mean there are more—outside?" "They're
everywhere, Dad. But look at it this way. When the cold weather comes, they'll be
off to Mexico. Maybe in the spring we can keep them out." he said for the hundredth
time. "It's not a problem."
The bat expert I called was even more active than Patrick. "I think you've got
a large number there," he said in wonder, "I've been trying to attract bats to our
house for 25 years. A single bat eats up his weight in mosquitoes and black flies
three times every night. You've very lucky man." I offered to share my luck with him.
He could take them away. "bats have a remarkable homing instinct(本能)," he said,
"They'd fly straight back even if I transported them 100 miles. Once they have settled,
you can't stop them from coming back." I was silent.
Finally we managed to rent the house to a young family, who were also interested
in buying it. "What about the bats?" I said to Patrick.
"Oh, they love the bats," he said. "No mosquitoes. No black flies. It's one of
the things that attracted them." "Do you think they will really buy the house? I asked. "Probably." "Probably? Well, if they do, I suppose I'll have to admit that I was wrong."
"You mean you're going to eat your words? Patrick laughed and asked. "Yes, I am."

When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously(同时的) about a variety of subjects，including children，men，careers and what’s happening in their lives．When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up．Men can either talk or watch the screen--they can’t do both--and they don’t understand that women can．Besides，women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships--not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the Screen．
During the ad breaks，a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going．He is unable，unlike women，to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally．Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group，they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships．For a woman，speech continues to have such a clear purpose：to build relationships and make friends．For men, to talk is to relate the facts． Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people，but a woman sees it as a means of bonding．A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and，when she returns home，telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours．
There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning，the fact that girls’ mothers talked to them more，is the reason why girls talk more than boys．Psychiatrist
Dr Michael Lewis，author Social Behavior and Language Acquisition，conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at，baby girls more often than baby boys．Scientific evidence shows parents just respond to the brain differences of their children．Since a girl's brain is better organized to send and receive speech，we therefore talk to them more．Consequently，mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually disappointed to receive only short grunts in reply．
60．While watching TV with others，women usually talk a lot because they A．are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friends
B．can both talk and watch the screen at the same time
C．think they can have a good time and develop relationships
D．have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands
61．After a vacation with her girlfriend．a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to ．
A．experience the happy time again B．keep a close tie with her
C．recommend her a new scenic spot D．remind her of something forgotten
62．What does the author want to tell us most?
A．Women’s brains are better organi zed for language and communication.
B．Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.
C．Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts．
D．Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.
63．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Women Are Socially Trained to Talk
B．Talking Maintains Relationships
C．Women Love to Talk
D．Men Talk Differently from Women

This week in our Foreign Student Series，we talk about getting an American education online．A student named Hendra has written to us from Indonesia asking about a good online university．Finding the right online program requires research．Talking to advisers and recruiters(招募者)can help．Keep in mind，though，that they might have a financial interest to direct you to certain programs．
The Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) recognizes a group in Washington，D．C．，to accredit(授权) schools that offer distance learning．One hundred and ten programs in the United States and six other countries are accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council．
We asked the executive director，Michael Lambert，for advice on choosing a distance learning program．He says the first thing is to go on the CHEA website to find if a school is accredited．The address is c-h-e—a dot o-r-g．
Next，make sure the school offers what you need．Do you need a degree，or will a certificate or license be enough?
Another consideration is cost．Often the published price does not include all
the costs—like books．Technology requirements can also add to the costs．Will you need to get new software or a high-speed Internet connection or even a new computer to take the classes you want?
Also，consider the level of interaction that an online program offers．You might never meet the teacher or other students in person．
Finally，and this is our own advice，find out what others say on the Internet for comments or news stories about schools that interest you．Just remember that what people say is not always fair or true．
64. This passage is probably from_________．
A．a magazine B．a newspaper
C．a text book D．a radio program
65．This passage is mainly about_________．
A．how to get an American education online
B．what to learn in an American university
C．the introductions to schools offering distance learning
D．the advantages of online education
66．What else should be taken into consideration about cost besides the published price?
A. The cost for technology requirements and even a classroom．
B．The cost for books and a new computer．
C．The cost for new software and a high-speed Internet connection．
D．The cost for books and technology requirements.
67．How can you find the information about schools accredited to offer distance learning easily?
A．Ask the members of CHEA．
B．Go on the website of ．
C．Ask Michael Lambert for help．
D．Talk to advisers and recruiters．
68．According to Michael Lambert，_________．
A．to get a certificate or a license is much easier than to get a degree
B．it’s not fair for the schools to charge extra money beside the published price C．the level of interaction that an online program offers needs considering D．people's comments about schools are always unbelievable

LOS ANGELES-Michael Jackson，defined in equal parts as the world’s greatest entertainer，was about to attempt one of the greatest comebacks of all time．Then
his life was cut shockingly—and so far, mysteriously—short．
The 50-year-old musical superstar died Thursday, just as he was preparing for what
would be a series of 50 concerts starting July l 3 in London.
“It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home．However, the cause of his
death is unknown until results of the autopsy(尸检)are known，”his brother Jermaine
said．
Cardiac arrest is an abnormal heart rhythm that stops the heart from pumping blood
to the body．It can occur after a heart attack or be caused by other heart problems．
Jackson ranked alongside Elvis Presley and the Beatles as the biggest pop sensations
of all time. He united two of music's biggest names when he was briefly married to
Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie. Jackson's sudden death immediately caused comparisons
to that of Presley himself, who died at age 42 in 1977.
Jackson is known as an increasingly strange figure—a middle-aged man-child
weirdly out of touch with grown-up life. His skin became lighter, his nose narrower,
and he spoke in a girlish voice. He often wore a germ mask while traveling, and kept
a pet chimpanzee (黑猩猩) named Bubbles as one of his closest companions.
Billboard magazine editorial director Bill Werde said Jackson's star power was
unmatched. "The world just lost the biggest pop star in history, no matter how you
cut it," Werde said. "He's literally the king of pop."
72. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. Michael Jackson died of heart attack.
B. Michael Jackson was planning for his concerts before he died.
C. Michael Jackson is married to Lisa Marie, Presley's daughter.
D. Michael Jackson always kept his pet chimpanzee company while traveling.
73. From which section of a newspaper are we most likely to find this passage?
A. Arts and books
B. Technology and science
C. Entertainment
D. Travel
74. After Jackson's death, people compare him to Elvis Presley because________.
A. they are both the most popular stars of all time.
B. Jackson was married to Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie.
C. they both died at a young age.
D. their fans love them both.
75. By writing this passage, the author intends to_______.
A. call on people to keep Michael Jackson in their memory.
B. introduce Michael Jackson's death to the readers.
C. warn people not to follow Michael Jackson's example.
D. show his deep sorrow for the loss of Michael Jackson
