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

A
I am 68 years old. I have emphysema(肺气肿) and have been on oxygen for about six years. I have gone about my regular activities. I belong to my local Woman’s Club, a book club and two respiratory(与呼吸有关的) support groups.
I am out and about, depending on the weather here in Southern California, two or three times a week. If I have no scheduled activity I will go browsing(随便看看) at a local specialty shop or antique store. Sometimes I use the motor-bikes provided by the ibg box stores and ride around the store for an hour or more.
Imagine my surprise one day when, following one of my browsing expeditions, a woman came up to me as I was enjoying a cup of coffee in front of the store. “Excuse me,” she said. “I wanted to tell you how much I admire you. I watched you in the store and you were just a joy to see. My aunt is on oxygen and she will hardly even leave the house except for family gatherings. I wish we could get her to get out and be more active, like you are. I think she would feel so much better.”
I asked if the woman’s aunt had been through rehab(恢复). When she said no, I recommended she talk to her aunt about it and about joining a support group. “Often a person feels alone and different and it helps to meet others with similar problems.”
The woman said she wished her aunt could meet me and I suggested we get together for lunch. That proved to be the first of several visits and I am now pleased to tell you that the aunt has been through rehab (not as hard as she was afraid it would be) and has joined one of the support groups I belong to. She even went on field trips with our group. What a difference it has made in her outlook and in her overall health!

Pregnant(怀孕的) mothers in Denmark who regularly used mobile phones were more likely to have children with behavioral problems, according to a study released on Tuesday. The risk was higher when the kids themselves began using cell phones at a very early age, researchers reported in the Journal of Community Health.
Leeka Kheifets of the University of California at Los Angeles and colleagues examined the health records of 28,000 seven-year-olds and their mothers enrolled in the Danish National Birth Cohort. The survey, which included nearly 100,000 women between 1996 and 2002, was designed to track the long-term health of the children. Mothers supplied detailed information about their lifestyles, diet and habits during and after pregnancy, including cell phone use. When their kids reached the age of seven, moms were again asked questions on their own and their children’s health and behavior.
The researchers found that kids who had been exposed to mobile phones both before and after birth were 50 percent more likely to have behavioral problems. Kids exposed to cell phones only while in the womb(子宫) were 40 percent more likely to show abnormal behavior, with the percentage dropping to a fifth for children whose first access to the devices occurred after they were born.
The results mirror an earlier study by the researchers of 13,000 other mothers and their kids enrolled in the same national survey. In both groups, about three percent of the children were found to exhibit abnormal behavior.
The author cautioned against drawing a straight line between cell phones and difficult children, but said the findings were troublesome. “Although it is premature (过早的) to interpret these results as causal(构成原因的), we are concerned that early exposure to cell phones could carry a risk, which, if real, would be a public health concern given the widespread use of the technology,”they concluded.
61. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
A. Cell phones can do harm to children’s growth.
B. Children suffer more from cell phone use.
C. Children use cell phones too much.
D. Cell phone use is linked to children’s behavioral problems.
62. Which of the following is TRUE about children exposed to cell phones before birth?
A. 50 percent of them had behavioral problems.
5
B. They were more likely to have behavioral problems.
C. They showed more problems in studying.
D. They showed no abnormal behaviors.
63. The researchers thought their findings were troublesome because they .
A. could cause worse relationships between parents and children
B. could slow down the economy development
C. could cause great concern among cell phone users
D. could affect the birth rate
64. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Pregnant mothers should limit their cell phone use.
B. Children should be allowed to use cell phone.
C. Cell phone use has no long-term effect on children.
D. Cell phones have no bad effect on children before birth.
65. The underlined part “drawing a straight line” in the last probably means ““.
A. giving a clear explanation
B. drawing an absolute conclusion
C. finding the shortcut
D. telling the difference
C
If you’re like most students, you may find it challenging to learn a foreign language. However, there are a few tips you can use in order to earn a top grade – as well as actually use the skills you’ve learned.
One of the most important and basic lessons in dealing with a foreign language is to learn and understand each concept and lesson before moving on to the next one. If you don’t understand one concept but move on to the next chapter anyway, you’re less likely to understand the new material.
Learning a new language is not only an academic tool, but can help you in your everyday life as well. Being good at another language can help you communicate with other people, and help you when traveling to foreign countries, and even make your resume look better.
And it is important to learn correct pronunciation as soon as possible for poor pronunciation can be hard to break. Native speakers of the language as well as others fluent in the language you are learning will appreciate your efforts to learn correct pronunciation.
Gather outside materials such as books, study guides, books on tape, and travel books to aid you in learning the language. Your textbooks can’t possibly teach you everything you need to know, so seeking outside sources is generally a good rule of thumb to keep in mind.
A significant motivator in learning a foreign language is traveling to the country where the language is spoken. That way, you can see firsthand how the language is used, learn the culture, and meet native speakers of the language. Native speakers appreciate sincere attempts of others who take the time to learn their language.
Seek out native speakers of your new language in your school or neighborhood. They can help you with many skills, including pronunciation, and they can provide immediate feedback on your progress.
66. This passage is written to .
A. explain why learning a foreign language is challenging
B. tell us the importance of learning foreign languages
6
C. tell us some ways of earning a top grade
D. give us some tips on learning foreign languages
67. Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Think beyond academics.
B. Learn each concept.
C. Plan a trip to use your skills.
D. Consider a language as a tool.
68. We can learn from the passage that .
A. textbooks are not good for us when learning a foreign language
B. learning pronunciation well from the very beginning is very important
C. poor pronunciation can be easy to break with the help of native speakers
D. seeking too many outside sources will be more harmful than beneficial
69. What is suggested doing in the last paragraph?
A. Going on a trip abroad.
B. Practicing with native speakers.
C. Asking for feedback from our teachers.
D. Finding a motivator in learning language.
70. In which part of a website would this text probably appear?
A. Entertainment.
B. History.
C. Education.
D. Nature.
D
It’s increasingly common in today’s society to use outdoor lighting around our homes and businesses to draw attention to a sign, provide security and allow people to be more active at night. However, according to a recent article at , scientists suggest that light pollution is a growing problem for wildlife. Migratory(迁移的) birds are getting confused and flying into the sides of skyscrapers. Nocturnal(夜间活动的) creatures have to hurry when they’re out looking for dinner (while becoming easier to be dinner when they’re out looking for food). And newborn sea turtles are crawling inland rather than heading out to sea.
Travis Longcore, director of the California-based Urban Wild-lands Group said, “We’ve turned many places of the globe into permanent full moon, or more.” And this “permanent full moon”effect is causing animals that depend on the darkness of night for their survival to lose all sense of direction.
Instead of totally pulling the plug on lights, there are a few ways we can cut down on the amount of nightly light pollution we help create. Some communities and cities have passed Dark Sky laws to preserve and protect the nighttime environment through quality outdoor lighting. Chicago, for example, became the first city in the Untied States to dim(变暗) their tall buildings at night during spring and fall bird migrations. The Windy City does this for nearly five months a year, in an effort to help save birds’ lives.
And several lighting manufacturers offer dark-sky friendly lights that are specifically designed to cut down outward and upward lights. In addition, reducing wasted light saves money, energy and resources, which in turn reduces air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions caused b energy production.
71. How can light pollution affect migratory birds?
A. They will easily get lost on their way of migration.
B. They will change their living habits.
C. They cannot find food any more.
D. They cannot fly over tall buildings.
72. What happens to nocturnal creatures because of light pollution?
7
A. They go away from the cities.
B. They go into people’s homes to find food.
C. They can’t find the food they need.
D. They are more likely to be eaten by other creatures.
73. Chicago will dim their tall buildings at night to .
A. make people sleep well
B. prevent birds from migration
C. make the night more beautiful
D. save birds’ lives
74. What Travis Longcore says in the second paragraph suggests that .
A. the full moon is the main cause of light pollution
B. the effect of the “permanent full moon” threatens animals’ survival
C. the full moon has done great harm to animals
D. the effect of the “permanent full noon” is still not clear
75. We can infer from the last paragraph that .
A. dark-sky friendly lights are not effective enough
B. light pollution can worsen air pollution
C. air pollution will be more serious during the day
D. dark-sky friendly lights are designed for birds

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后字数要求）。

Five tips to succeed in school
[1]Develop a love of learning.
Many students know that school is important, but that’s not enough. You have to learn that learning does not stop with a grade or diploma – it’s a way of life. You can even learn a lot from everyday activities at home – reading, writing, listening to music or talking with your parents. All these activities are a kind of intellectual development.
[2]Get yourself organized.
Make a work plan and put all the homework on a calendar. , students can easily forget what they have to do. Older students especially need such a plan as they have so many physical, emotional and academic events taking place in their lives.
[3] Eat with your parents as a family.
Dinner is a valuable opportunity for the family to spend time together. During dinner time, children have the opportunity to express their ideas, to argue and to develop their verbal skills. [4]The process is more important.
Many time, all we see is the grade. In fact, the process of learning is much more important than the result, because result is always the thing of the past but the experience learned from the process can be used again in the future. When in need of help, ask others to give you the tools to find the answers yourselves. For example, instead of asking your parents to tell you where India is, ask them to show you how to use a map.
[5]Keep your expectations high.
Don’t be afraid to aim high. You can reach your goals. Set practical goals and do your best to reach them. If you make one step forward, you’ll enjoy making more. In this way you are building
a bright future for yourself.
76. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
When faced with difficulties you should turn to others for methods instead of answers.
8
9
77. Fill in the blank in the passage with proper words. (within 5 words.)
78. According to the passage, what ’s the benefit of eating with parents? (within 15 words)
79. For what purpose does the author mention the example of using a map? (within 15 words.) 80. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. (no more than 5 words)

When it comes to thanksgiving, most people will put their parents who feed and educate them at the first place and it is the same with me.
We all know no one but our parents can stand whatever we do, no matter it is right or not, no matter what serious mistakes we make. They support us to do everything we like. I was born to a poor farmer’s family. As a child, I always dreamed of having a basketball of my own but my parents could hardly make ends meet at that time. It was on my eighth birthday that I got a real basketball as the birthday present. I was wild with joy for that. Thanks to my considerate parents, I have been on the school basketball team and made so many friends.
