第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

A
It wasn't until I was much older that I would find something that I would consider as evidence of my father's love.
When the Commodore 64 personal computer came onto the market, I convinced myself that I had to have it even though its price was out of my mother's range. So I decided to earn the money myself. I mowed every lawn I could find that summer for a few dollars each, yet it still wasn't enough. So my dad agreed to help me raise the rest of the money by driving me to one of the watermelon farms south of town, loading up his truck with wholesale watermelons and driving me around to sell them.
He came for me before daybreak. We made small talk, but it didn't matter. The fact that he was talking to me was all that mattered. I was a teenager by then, but this was the first time that I had ever spent time alone with him. He laughed and repeatedly introduced me as “my boy”，a phrase he relayed with a sense of pride. It was one of the best days of my life.
Although he had never told me that he loved me, I would consider that day as the greatest evidence
of that_fact. He just didn't know how to love me right. He wasn't a mean man. So I took these random episodes and clung to them like a thing most precious, storing them away for the long periods of coldness when a warm memory would prove most useful.
It just goes to show that no matter how distant the father, no matter how deep the damage, no matter how broken the relationship, there is still time, still space, still a need for even the smallest bit of evidence of a father's love.
文章大意：作者为了购买新上市的电脑，一开始靠修剪草坪挣钱，但是钱不够，后来在父亲的帮助下贩卖西瓜挣够了钱。

此时作者才发现虽然日常生活中自己表面上与父亲不那么亲近，但是能够从父亲的言行中感受到父亲对他的爱。

56．The author finally managed to get the Commodore 64 personal computer ________.
A．with the money he asked his mother for
B．by getting well paid from mowing lawns
C．by selling watermelons in the neighborhood
D．with his hard work and his father's assistance
答案：D细节理解题。

根据第二段最后两句的内容可知，一开始作者靠修剪草坪挣钱，但是钱不够，后来在父亲的帮助下贩卖西瓜挣够了钱，买了电脑。

57．The author had never spent time alone with his father probably because ________.
A．his father was always busy with work
B．his father didn't live with him
C．they didn't get along well at first
D．his father didn't know how to love him
答案：B推理判断题。

根据第三段的第一句“He came for me before daybreak.”和最后一段中说父亲在远处可推知，作者与父亲可能不住在一起。

58．What do the underlined words “that fact” in the fourth paragraph refer to?
A．he loved me
B．he disliked talking with me
C．he didn't know how to love me
D．he wasn't a mean man
答案：A推理判断题。

根据第一段中的“It wasn't until I was much older that I wou ld find something that I would consider as evidence of my father's love.”和画线部分前面的“he loved me”以及最后一段中的“still a need for even the smallest bit of evidence of a father's love”可推知，“that fact”指的是“he loved me”。

59．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．The Best Days of My Life
B．Father and Son
C．The Story of My Father
D．Evidence of Love
答案：D主旨大意题。

第一段和最后一段均点明了本文的主题，故D项“Evidence of Love”最适合当本文的标题。

B
Have you ever heard of blogs(博客)? If you haven't, you should have.
It's here, it's growing and it's having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you'll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”，is a public Internet journal written by one person or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can comment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “published”，so other people can read them.
Authoring a blog，maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called“blogging”. Blogging has revolutionized Internet publishing in the last several years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to become an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called“blog posts”“posts”，or“entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a“blogger”．Now，somewhere around the world，a blog is created almost every 6 seconds. Because its great potential，Bill Gares views it as important as e-mail，BBS，and MSN. He's trying to make blogs the important tools for future business communications.

Scientists have created a “human-like robot” that can dance and do the housework.
Mahru has been developed to imitate humans and can move its lips，eyebrows and pupils(瞳孔). The machine can also move its upper and lower body freely and automatically stop itself when walking. In addition, it has been programmed to give out two kinds of pleasant smells to march its emotions.
The 1.5 m tall robot was produced by researchers at the Forea Institute of Science and Technology(KIST)and is the first South Korean-developed machine of its kind.
“Mahru will open the way for the commercial use of humanoid robots doing housework，” You Bum-Jae, leader of the development research team, said, “Mahru can dance while walking on its legs and is able to work in place of a human.”
Through an advanced motion capture system, Mahru can follow a variety of human movements and move its hands freely enough to deal with any obstacles that may get in its way when walking.
State-funded KIST showed the robot during a presentation at its head office in Seoul.
People here were treated to an entertaining demonstration which saw the robot show off the full range of its skills, most notably a series of dance moves.
The research team added that they had designed another Mahru, this time with sensors(传感器) allowing it to distinguish between faces and objects.
The showing of Mahru came a week after researchers in Japan said they had created the “most human-like” robot in the world. A team at robotics department of Osaka University in Japan claimed that“robogirl”，Repliee R-1, “looks, moves and interacts like a human，and has silicone(硅胶)skin that feels almost human to the touch.”
64．What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?
A．To fight with others.
B．To act on each other.
C．To have a word with others.
D．To make robots by itself.
答案：B词义理解题。

inter指“在……之间，互相”；act“作用”，因此可以推断出是“相互作用，相互影响”之意，故选B项。

65．“Mahru” made by KIST can do the following things EXCEPT ________.
A．express certain feelings by smells it gave out
B．move its body freely
C．stop automatically when walking
D．dance with other human-like robots
答案：D细节理解题。

由文中第二段第二句“...move its upper and lower body freely and automatically stop itself when walking”可知B项和C项正确。

故选D项。

66．According to what You Bum-Jae said in Paragraph 4，his research team wants to ________.
A．help robots with doing housework
B．show its scientific power
C．make Mahru ofter more fun
D．explore the commercial use of Mahru
答案：D细节理解题。

由第四段第一句“...will open the way for the commercial use of...”可知D 项符合题意。

67．According to the last paragraph，Repliee R-1 ________.
A．is another “Mahru”
B．was made by KIST
C．has skin feeling similar to humans
D．looks like a boy

(2014·辽宁卷·A)
A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑)．
Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.
Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.
In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper .They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note－taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.
The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.
The researchers' report said, “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the cas e on a laptop, the benefit disappears.”
In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.
These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.
文章大意：本文主要说的是通过实验证明了的一种事实：用手写笔记比用电脑记笔记更利于学习的理解和掌握。

答案：
Our future life
With the fast development of science and technology, people are living a better and better life. Maybe in the future, we'll not live on the earth, but in the undersea city. We needn't get up so early just in order to get to school on time. Instead, we can just listen to the teacher at home with the help of television or broadcast. We will have enough time to enjoy our life since we needn't do housework any more—the robot will do that. Besides, we can buy whatever we want without going to the shop in person only if we use the videophone. And when we have a long holiday, we can drive our own flying car to travel anywhere，such as the moon or the Mars.
It's really worth looking forward to!。
