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)
A
(2010·湖北黄冈3月)
After winning a big game，athletes are often asked how they attained that success.Most say their achievement is the result of gruelling hard work and intense ually athletes say how hard it is to win the big games.At the opposite end of the spectrum，however，is the fact that losing the big game，or，in my case，all the games，can be even tougher.
From the spectators’point of view，last year’s basketball season for my high school team was nothing short of an embarrassment.And while 0 and 20 is certainly nothing to be proud of，that season had a bigger impact on me than any other，and probably more than any season since.
As a team captain，I knew it probably wouldn’t be the easiest year，but did I ever think we would lose every game？Of course not.Since six of our top players had graduated，it was clear that we were a young team who would struggle.The struggle began earlier than expected，though，as our team’s starting center was suspended for the season，and two key members decided to quit after two weeks.At some point，quitting probably passed through every player’s mind，but，in the end，we all stuck it out，vowing to work even harder.
Then there came a time when even our own coach had given up on us.Personally，I felt like it was no longer worth giving my all.I thought，if even the coach doesn’t believe in us，why should I？But just as my hope began to fade，a teammate called a meeting.He said，“Nobody thinks we’re going to win，and heck，we may not，but，as teammates and friends，we owe it to each other to give it our all every game.”
Sure，it was a little cliché (陈旧的)，but it was that moment that taught me how to be a leader.It hit me then that I may have been a captain，but I，like others in my position，certainly didn’t deserve the role.As a leader you can never quit on the team who looks up to you.It is one thing to be named captain and feel great and go through the motions，but it is quite another to be a real captain and make sure everyone works to their potential all the time.
I am sure it is great to go through high school without losing and bringing home awards.But in all honesty，I relish the fact that my team lost every game last year.It may not help me to become a better basketball player，but it already has made me a better leader and person.
56．What was the biggest problem with the author’s team last season?
A．Several key members were unable to play the games.
B．Their coach no longer wanted to instruct them.
C．There were no actual leaders on the team.
D．Most of players lost hope and wanted to quit.
57．In the text，the author seems to suggest that a good leader should________.
A．be confident about himself B．make sure everyone goes all out
C．work hard to win the games D．feel great about his team
58．By saying “we owe it to each other to give it our all every game.”(Paragraph 4) the teammate means that all of them should________.
A．be responsible for the losses B．try their best on the court
C．feel thankful for what they’ve done D．get together to win every game 59．What is the main idea the author aims to express in the text?
A．Success is the result of hard work.
B．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C．One can learn something from the failure.
D．A real leader should never give up.

(2010·合肥第四次检测) McDonnell，who has made oil drilling off Virginia’s coast，one of his administration’s top tasks，flew to Houston on Monday to advertise the benefits of offshore drilling at a national conference.He told reporters before he left that he does not want to postpone drilling but to learn from the accident off Louisiana’s coast.
“What we do as Americans is that we find out what went wrong and how can we do things better，” McDonnell said.“I think that’s the spirit of American people.”
President Obama announced in March that Virginia will become one of the first East Coast states to drill offshore for oil and natural panies could conduct exploratory drilling in Virg inia’s waters 50 miles off the coast late next year or early in 2012.
In Virginia Beach，the state’s largest city and one that relies heavily on tourism，Mayor Will Sessoms said he would be worried if the timetable was not changed.Sessoms supported drilling and helped the city pass a resolution (决议) in favor of it，in part to help the tourism industry by keeping the cost of gas down.But，he said，the Louisiana accident was a wake­up call.
“It’s alarming to me，” Sessoms said.“It gives me great concern.”
Obama swore Friday that no expansion of offshore oil drilling would take place
until investigations into the Louisiana accident were complete.
Virginia’s officials，who support drilling，said they agree that drilling should be delayed.Sen.Mark Warner said it was “appropriate” for Obama to delay offshore projects. McDonnell said he wants to see a full investigation into the Louisiana accident，but he still thinks that drilling could begin off Virginia’s coast as soon as next year or early 2012.
McDonnell has also said t hat drilling off Virginia’s coast would create thousands of jobs，as well as lessen US dependence on foreign oil.
A recent explosion and fire on an exploratory well in the Gulf (海湾) of Mexico left 11 workers missing and dead.Crude oil (原油) has been leaking into the gulf since，inching closer to the coasts of Louisiana，Alabama and Mississippi.
The accident confirmed the worst fears of environmental groups and people already worried that possible spills (溢出) could harm plants，animals，and tourism.
60．What was Mc Donnell’s opinion about drilling off Virginia’s coast?
A．It should be stopped as it may cause damage to the environment.
B．It should be delayed due to the gulf oil accident.
C．It has a lot of benefits，and thus shouldn’t be delayed.
D．It could make the US dependent on foreign oil.
61．Why did Will Sessoms support drilling off Virginia’s coast?
A．It could create thousands of jobs. B．It could help recover the economy.
C．It met the spirit of American people. D．It partly helped the tourism industry.
62．What do we know about the accident?
A．The explosion in the Gulf of Mexico killed 11 workers.
B．The leaked crude oil may affect the coasts of 3 states.
C．The investigation into the accident has been completed.
D．Officials who support drilling off Virginia’s coast are not in favor of the investigation.
63．What is the main idea of the report?
A．Officials reconsider support for drilling after the gulf oil accident.
B．It is dangerous to drill oil off the coasts.
C．People should learn from oil accidents to reduce damage to our environment.
D．Investigations should be carried out immediately after oil accidents.

(2010·绵阳市第三次诊断) Everyone has good days and bad days.
Sometimes，you feel as if you’re on top of the world.But occasionally you feel horrible，and you lose things and you cannot focus on your schoolwork.
For more than 20 years，scientists have suggested that high self­esteem (自尊) is the key to success.Now，new research shows that focusing just on building self­esteem may not be helpful.In some cases，having high self­estee m can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail at something.
“Forget about self­esteem，” says Jennifer Crocker，a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Michigan，US，“It’s not the important thing.”
Feeling good
Crocker’s advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about yourself.
Studies show that people with high self­esteem are less likely to be depressed，anxious，shy，or lonely than those with low self­esteem.
But，after reviewing about 18,000 studies o n self­esteem，Roy Baumeister，a psychologist at Florida State University，has found that building up your self­esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.
He believes that violent and wicked (邪恶的) people often have the highest self­esteem of all.He also said：“There’s no evidence that kids with high self­esteem do better in school.”
Problems
All types of people have problems.People with high self­esteem can have big egos (自我) that can make them less likeable to their peers (同龄人)，said Kathleen Vohs，a psychology professor at Columbia University.
People with high self­esteem tend to think more of themselves，Vohs says.People with low self­esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.
What to do
Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people.Find positive ways to contribute to society.If you fail at something try to learn from the experience.“The best therapy (药方) is to recognize your faults，” Vohs says.“It’s OK to say，I’m not so good at that，and then move on.”
64．It is concluded in the research that high self­esteem________.
A．is not important at all B．has taken on a different meaning
C．may not be the key to success D．does not help you do better at school 65．According to the research，people with high self­esteem________.
A．have better relationship with people of their own age
B．are more likely to become violent and wicked
C．tend to be proud and do not care much about others
D．often feel depressed and can’t focus on their work
66．The advice in the last paragraph is mainly for people________.
A．with high self­esteem B．with low self­esteem
C．who are still at school D．who are good at everything

(2010·江苏高考模拟三) The well­known Rushmore National Monument in the United States is built on the Rush Moore Peak,1829 meters above sea level，of the Black Hills in the south—west of South Dakota.It is a group of huge stone statues of four American presidents，George Washington，Thomas Jefferson，Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.President Washington is the founding father of the country；the 3rd President Jefferson drafted the US Declaration of Independence；the 16th President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation and the 26th President Roosevelt protected the average people’s right to compete fairly with trusts.All 1829 meters above sea level，made outstanding achievements for their country.They were pioneers of US history.

Since the stone sculpture is unique in style，the Monument is now the US National Art Centre of Popular Education.Groups of people keep streaming everyday to the site for a visit and tourists across the world are also interested in taking a view of this great Monument.

(吉林省延边二中2011第一次阶段性考试) 71．________When a starving man gets a meal，he begins to think about an overcoat；when an executive gets a new sports car，visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.
The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels.72.________The first and most basic level of wants involves food.Once this want is satisfied，a second level of wants appears：clothing and some sort of shelter.By the end of Wor ld War Ⅱ these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans.73.________It included such items as automobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied.Then，in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared：the “life­enriching” level.While the other levels involve physical satisfaction—the feeding，comfort，safety，and
transportation of the human body—this level stresses mental needs for recognition，achievement and happiness.It includes a variety of goods and services，many of which could be called “luxury” items.Among them are vacation trips，the best medical care，and entertainment.74.________
One this level，a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services，while on the first three levels more is spent on goods.Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases，or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action.Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease，ignorance，crime and prejudice.75.________In this way，we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
A．Then a third level appeared.
B．Human wants seem endless.
C．When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants，another level appears.
D．There are several levels of wants in one’s life.
E．At this stage，we now may seek to ensure the health，safety，and leisure.
F．Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.
G．Different people have different wants on each level.

John first entered high school four years ago，at the age of 16.He worked very hard and always got very good grades.Besides doing well in his lessons，he was very active in sports，getting up every morning to practice running；he never took the bus to school but always ran i nstead.He even won a silver medal in the 800­meter race
at the school sports meeting a year ago.As a reward，his parents bought him something that he had wanted to have for a long time—a computer.
Soon，things began to change.He stopped getting up early and never ran to school.His interest in sports suddenly disappeared.Sometimes he got up so late that he would miss the school bus and then miss school.
Soon his school work began to suffer.One night，quite late，John’s mother saw light on in his room.She went in and found John still awake，playing computer games.Finally the reason for John’s change was clear—ever since he had been given the computer，he had been staying up late every night to play games.His lack of sleep was having a terrible effect on his studies.His mom decided that this must be stopped.The next day she had a serious talk with John.Instead of taking away his computer，she told him he was old enough to learn how to control himself.
John had already begun to realize how serious the problem was，so when his mother spoke to him，he agreed to work on controlling himself.He was rather glad to know that his mother cared about him so much.
第二部分
21．C 考查交际英语。

Sounds great.意为“听起来太好了。

”表示赞同对方的建议。

22．D 考查冠词。

president表示职位，在句中充当同位语，前面不用冠词；all­out donation意思是“裸捐”，根据语意可知冯军是继陈光标之后第二个“裸捐”的中国亿万富翁，因此，第二空前用不定冠词an。

23．C 考查非谓语动词。

dog与tie up之间存在被动关系，因此用过去分词tied up。

这里是keep sb./sth.＋过去分词形式，tied up在句中充当宾语补足语。

24．A 考查介词短语。

从对话中可知Jack经常不顾他母亲的反对而去游泳，因此用regardless of不顾，不管；in case of如果，假使；in view of考虑到，相当于considering。

25．B 考查状语从句。

句意为：而且村民住的地方空气很新鲜。

where引导地点状语从句。

26．C 考查让步状语从句。

however引导让步状语从句，结构为“however＋形容词＋a(n)＋单数可数名词”。

句意为：一个人不管有多聪明，有时也会犯错。

27．B 考查定语从句。

which引导定语从句修饰places，并且在从句中作主语。

28．B 考查时态和语态。

句意为：你介意我把收音机开大声点儿吗？正在广播天气预报，我想知道天什么时候放晴。

说话间广播里的预报天气这个动作正在发生，且broadcast与weather report之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故选B。

29．B 考查escape的用法。

escape后常跟名词或动名词­ing形式，又因see与the little boy之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故选B。
