第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.
First, let’s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it’s very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information on a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week, you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.
If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you’ll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.
41. We can learn from the passage that university professors .
A. spend about 5 hours on lectures each week
B. must join the students in the discussion sections
C. require the students to read beyond the textbooks
D. prefer to use textbooks in their lectures
42. A discussion section does NOT include .
A. talking over what the students have read about the courses
B. working under the guidance of university professors
C. discussing the problems related to the students’ homework
D. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture
43. According to the author, science majors .
A. read and write less than non science majors
B. have to work harder than non science majors
C. spend less time on their studies than non science majors
D. consider experiments more important than discussions
44. The main purpose of this text is .
A. to persuade the students to attend lectures
B. to encourage the students to take part in discussions
C. to advise the students to choose proper majors
D. to help the students to learn about university life.
B

George Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America’s greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.
Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way—from jazz to country.
In the 1920s, there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924, jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.
In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition(作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics(评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.
George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.
48. Many of Gershwin’s mu sical works were.
A. written about New Yorkers
B. composed for Paul Whiteman
C. played mainly in the countryside
D. performed in various ways
49. What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?
A. It attracted more people to theatres.
B. It proved jazz could be serious music.
C. It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.
D. It caused a debate among jazz musicians.
50. What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?
A. He created one of his best works.
B. He studied with Nadia Boulanger.
C. He argued with French critics.
D. He changed his music style.
51. What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Many of Gershwin’s work s were lost.
B. The death of Gershwin was widely reported.
C.A concert was held in memory of Gershwin.
D. Brain cancer research started after Gershwin’s death.
D
It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship(驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
52. According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by .
A. road conditions
B. the speed of modern life
C. the behavior of the drivers
D. the large number of cars
53. In the writer’s opinion, .
A. drivers should avoid traffic jams
B. strict traffic rules are badly needed
C. unskillful drivers should be punished
D. drivers should show road politeness properly.
54. The underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means .
A. politeness and impoliteness
B. offering help to others as much as possible
C. willingness to give in to each other’s wishes
D. good manners and bad manners
55. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Traffic Problems
B. Road Politeness
C. Bad Manners on the Road
D. Good Drivers and Bad Driver

The First Americans
There was a time long ago when a land bridge connected Asia and North America. The first settlers in North America crossed this land bridge from what is now Siberia to Alaska. The people who made this initial crossing were probably following the animals they used for food．Finally, the oceans rose and the land bridge between the continents disappeared. The settlers, who I shall call the "First Americans”, could not return to their homeland. 56___ For the next few thousand years, the First Americans moved south and east throughout North and
South America. They made the journey all the way from Alaska to the southern tip of South America,
a distance of more than 10,000 miles. 57___
In the far north, above the Arctic Circle, the First Americans became hunters of the ocean. 58__
In the summer, they gathered berries and other plants. In the winter, they stayed in lodges much of the time preparing for the next summer. It was a hard life, but they learned to survive in these terrible conditions．
Farther south, in what is now Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico, the First Americans became cliff dwellers. They began by living in caves that already existed in the cliffs(悬崖). 59__ The dwellings they built in many ways resembled today's apartment buildings．
__60 They built a system of dams and canals so they could store and use water almost any time of the year. They were so successful that they could raise fruits and vegetables that were not found naturally in the desert．
A. They also discovered foods like corn and potatoes．
B. Along the way, they established many different civilizations．

One possible version:
Dear Mike,
I’m sorry to hear that you are in hospital with eyesight decreasing and obesity and some other diseases. I hope that you will recover soon.
You said that your illness was caused by surfing the Internet too much. That’s true. Some of my friends, who often do such things, are beginning to feel bad too. They say that they can’t see things as clearly as before. And my teachers often tell us that it’s harmful for us to stay late surfing the Internet
every day.
Therefore, I think that we should spend less time on the Internet from now on. Besides, we
should work out regularly to keep healthy, because nothing is more important than health. Only when
we are healthy can we study better.
Follow the doctor’s advice and don’t worry. Your will be well soon.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Ming。
