第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，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，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
A round of applause, please, for the Indian man who recently sang for 80 hours straight, setting a new Guinness world record. It’s an impressive feat, to be sure, but let’s just hope he still has a voice．According to Indian newspapers, Rajesh Burbure has been told to keep silent for several days so his vocal cords（声带）can heal．
It was reported that Burbure and his family are in a celebratory mood. “It’s a proud moment for all of us,” his wife told DNAIndia．com．
I, on the other hand, am unable to share their enthusiasm．Don’t get me wrong: I hope the 35-year-old Burbure lives forever, sells a million records and becomes an international celebrity．But his record—singing for 80 hours straight—is about as meaningful as most of the other curious but crazy feats listed in the Guinness Book of World Records．
Granted, I’m not qualified to speak on the subject．I’ve got no world records to my name, and I never expect to have any．Then again, maybe I am qualified to speak for those of us who have better things to do than train for years to sing an 80-hour medley （集成曲）of pop songs．But let’s not just pick on poor Burbure．He’s not the only person chasing meaningless accolades（荣誉）．The Guinness Book of World Records is full of the names of people who at one time grew the longest hair, or built the biggest bicycle, or baked the largest cheesecake．To all of these enterprising souls I ask, simply, “What was it all for?”
Congratulations! For all of your painstaking effort, you became a footnote in a thick book that no one reads, except for you and the person who will eventually surpass you, with one more hour of singing, a few more centimeters of steel or a few more pounds of cheese．
After all, records are made to be broken．
56．From the text, we can conclude that the author _________．
A．thinks singing for 80 hours straight is completely meaningless
B．feels it a pity he was not invited to share the happiness with the Burbures
C．is quite worried ab out Burbure’s vocal cords
D．has no Guinness records, so he admires Burbures’ feat
57．Before someone wins a Guinness record, he or she has to ________．
A．become an international celebrity
B．know all about Guinness records
C．practice a great deal
D．bear great stress for fear of injury
58．We can infer from the article that ________．
A．after the 80 hours of singing, Burbure could no longer speak
B．Burbure’s wife didn’t support his attempt to make a Guinness record
C．many have criticized Burbure for his stupid behavior
D．challenging a Guinness record may be harmful to the health
59．The author’s attitude to some Guinness world records is ________．
A．positive B．impressed C．negative D．touched
B
I once had a friend that was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the news that he might only live up to six months was a great shock to him, his family, and his friends．However, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially（开始）determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life．I think that when you find yourself in such situations, you tend to look up every possible way for hope of saving your life．
As months went on and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over him．He had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, he took comfort in God and humanity（人性）．His talks focused on others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for, believing that his concerned ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for him．
During the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his loving wife, who looked after both his physical and emotional needs, and workers from a local hospice（安养院）came to the home to regulate（调节）his medication（药）and provide any other needed support．He didn't complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve him．
Indeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for others．You often can't learn these important attributes（属性）in the lap of luxury, and perhaps, such an experience is the greatest and final gift the illness can give those left behind．
60．Which word can best describe the man's initial reaction as soon as he was diagnosed with cancer?
A．Satisfied．B．Sad C．Surprised D．Concerned．61．What did the man do after he first learned of his illness?
A．He was operated on immediately．
B．He researched cancer treatments．
C．He retired from his job
D．He felt sad, doing nothing．
62．What was the man's main source of comfort after several months with the disease?
A．His family and friends．B．The care from others
C．His doctors’ encouragement．D．His belief in humanity．
63．What did the author learn from his friend’s story?
A．Getting comfort from God．
B．Extending life as possible．
C．Caring for yourself and enjoying luxury．
D．Giving more respect to friends
C
Although credit cards are becoming a more acceptable part of the financial scene, they are still regarded with doubts by many as being a major part of the “live now pay later” syndrome（综合症）．Along with hire-purchase, rental and leasing schemes（租赁项目）, they provide encouragement to spend more money．Of course, it is only the hotheaded who give way to the
temptation to live, temporarily at least, beyond their means, and such people would no doubt manage to do so even without credit cards．
Advertising campaigns have, however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They prevent need to carry large amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies．
All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 per cent a year, yet sensible purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks, interest-free credit．Using the card abroad, where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account, can extend this period even further．
It is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on a particular credit card. It is necessary to consider the amount of credit granted; interest rates, which may vary slightly; the number and range of outlets（经销店）, though most cards cover major garages, hotels, restaurants and department stores; and of course, what happens if your card is lost or stolen．A credit card thief may be sitting on a potential goldmine particularly if there is a delay in reporting the loss of the card．
However, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing, or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty．
64．The hotheaded are people who ________．
A．spend more money than they have
B．spend less money than other people
C．save money
D．make money
65．The disadvantage of credit cards is ________．
A．to enable you to buy things without carrying large amount of cash
B．to encourage people to spend more money
C．to be always useful in emergencies
D．to help people tide over a period of financial difficulty
66．Deciding on a particular credit, you do not have to consider ________．
A．the amount of credit granted
B．the number and range of outlets
C．the possibility of loss of money
D．the department stores where you are going to use your credit cards
67．The underlined words in the last paragraph probably means ________．
A．floating with the tide of B．going through a difficult period of
C．rising and falling with the tide of D．attempting to go against the tide of
D
Social netwo rking isn’t only for the under 40s．More than 25 percent of Americans 50 years and older stay connected using sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, according to new research．
“The latest data tells us that more and more social networking is becoming a part of everyday life for Americans 50 plus,” said Kevin Donnellan, the chief communications officer at AARP, which released the report．
Nearly a quarter of older Americans are on Facebook and 73 percent said they use it to stay in touch with relatives, but not just their children and grandchildren．“They are using the Internet to
keep up with the world and the people who are important to them,” said Jean Koppen, the author of the report．She added that older adults are also on Facebook to stay connected, not only with their family, but with their friends and those in the same age group．Almost 50 percent of older adults were introduced to the social networking sites by a family member, mainly a child or grandchild．“Just under one-fifth of adults aged 50 and older say they do not use the Internet,” according to the report．
The findings are based on a telephone survey of 1,863 adults．In addition to keeping up on Facebook and Twitter older adults are aware of the latest technology．Eighty-three percent had heard about the Apple iPad and 11 percent intended to buy one．
Despite the popularity of the Internet among the over 50s, they still mostly go to print newspapers and magazines for news．Only one percent said they followed blogs．
68．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Social networking isn’t for the under 40s in the U．S.A．

范文
Should Internet Slang Be Prohibited?
At present, Internet Slang, such as “GG, MM, Xia Mi”，has become popular among the teenagers.
There are different opinions on Internet Slang. Some students think Internet Slang is vivid, fashionable and full of humor and intelligence. Besides, it makes chatting on the Internet quicker.
However, some other students think Internet Slang lacks depth of thought and is too simple. Also, it is hard to understand and not accepted by most people. The words sometimes might make people confused, even resulting in misunderstanding.
Every coin has two sides. In my opinion, living in the Information Age, if we don’t know the Internet Slang, we seem to fall behind the times. It will be OK as long as these terms are used correctly in proper situations.。
