第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
（A）
A DECADE after terror struck America,we are starting to move forward．
It has been 10 years．In those awful days right after 9·11,I asked my colleague,Dave Barry,if he thought he would ever write jokes again．He was then the humor columnist for the Miami Herald．“For the last week,” he told me,“I haven’t even tried to write anything
funny,and for a while I thought maybe I never would,or should．”
He had it; we all had it—that feeling of being stuck,unable to find your way back to the life you had lived before．I wrote 10 columns in a row about what I had seen,the planes crashing,the lives lost．Finally,I had to force myself to write a column about something that was not terror．That last one column．Then I went right back to what was now normal．
That was a decade ago．Today’s terrors become tomorrow’s memories ．News becomes history．And I find myself remembering how I used to kill ants when I was a child．The thing that struck me was that they always came back．Even if you destroy their world a hundred times,they build it a hundred and one times．
There is something of that in people．It may be one of the best things about us．We always fight the miserable things in life,bury our dead,rebuild,and find a way to move forward．We did it when fire burned down Chicago,after the earthquake in San Francisco,and after the floods in New Orleans．And we did it on September 11．
It is true that we have changed in ways that are not all good．We are at war on three fronts． We are running a strange prison on Cuba．The government may not tell you why．Osama bin Laden is dead．Experts tell us the terror group he led is weakened．However,terrorism remains alive in American political thought,which is becoming more extreme．There is reason to be worried about these changes．But I am still grateful that we moved away from the 9·11 nightmare at all．
56.Which phrase can be used to describe Dave Barry’s feeling just after 9·11?
A.Heartbroken and hopeless.
B．Frightened but hopeful.
C．Unable to care or focus.
D．Sad but confident.
57．From Paragraph 3,we can conclude that_________.
A．the author was so shaken that he stopped writing completely
B．there was no terrorism in America before 9·11
C．for some time Americans found it difficult to think about anything other than terror D．no one ever feels safe anymore
58．With the example of ants,the author aims to show that_________.
A．he misses his happy childhood
B．people can rebuild and recover,just like ants
C．he is sorry that he killed the ants
D．rebuilding is more important than sadness
59．According to the last part of the article,the author’s main point is that_________. A．terrorism has influenced the government too much
B．people should look on the bright side
C．terrorism will continue to exist
D．no changes are ever completely good
60.The tone of the writer is_________.
A.positive
B.negative
C.neutral
D.ironic
（B）
Bananas are one of the world’ s most important food crops.They are also one of the most valuable exports.Bananas do not grow from seeds.Instead,they grow from existing plants.Bananas are threatened by disease because all the plants on a farm are copies of each other.They all share the same genetic weaknesses.For example,the Cavendish banana is most popular in North American and European markets.However，some kinds of fungus organisms easily infect the Cavendish.Black Sigatoka disease affects the leaves of Cavendish banana plants.The disease is controlled on large farms by putting chemicals on the plant’ s leaves.Farmers put anti-fungal chemicals on their crops up to once a week.
Another fungal disease is more serious.Panama disease attacks the roots of the banana plant.There is no chemical treatment for this disease.Infected plants must be destroyed.Panama disease has affected crops in Southeast Asia,Australia and South Africa.There is concern that it may spread to bananas grown in the Americas.This could threaten an important export product for Central and South America.
The Internation al Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain supports research on bananas.The group has headquarters in France and other offices in the major banana-growing areas of the world.The group says that more research must be done to develop improved kinds of
bananas.The group says that fungal diseases mainly affect only one kind of banana.In fact,there are five hundred different kinds of bananas.Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has said that the Cavendish banana represents only 10% of world production.
The U.N.agency says farmers should grow different kinds of bananas.This protects against diseases that affect only one kind.Experts warn that disease may cause the Cavendish banana to disappear.This happened earlier to another popular banana because of its genetic weakness against disease.
61.What does this passage mainly tell us?
A.Bananas are the world’ s most important food crops.
B.The risk to a popular banana shows that farmers need to grow other kinds.
C.There are five hundred different kinds of bananas.
D.How to grow bananas in different countries.
62.Bananas are threatened by disease because_________.
A.they grow from seeds
B.they are one of the most valuable exports
C.the only way to prevent it is to put chemicals on their leaves
D.they have genetic weaknesses against disease
63.Panama disease_________.
A.doesn’t belong to fungal disease
B.affects the leaves of banana plants
C.destroys bananas more seriously than Black Sigatoka disease
D.has spread to bananas all over the world
64.We can infer from Paragraph 3 that_________.
A.the center of the group is in the US
B.the Cavendish banana covers only a small part of the yield of bananas
C.the key to solving the disease is to research all kinds of bananas
D.each fungal disease affects five hundred different kinds of bananas
65.According to the passage,which information is RIGHT?
A.The Cavendish banana can mainly be imported from North America and Europe.
B.Panama disease affects the leaves of Cavendish banana plants.
C.The Cavendish banana won’t die out in the future.
D.The Cavendish banana makes up only one tenth of world production.
（C）
Head held high,hands firmly gripping her walker,Mary Arnott,99,walks slowly with dignity through the women’s changing room at the Etobicoke Olympium pool,past the teenage girls who have been blow-drying their hair for half an hour,into the mist of the showers,then out the door and first one into the heated pool.She jumps over to the shallow end,stopping to talk to friends—everyone knows Mary here;she swims twice a week and treats it as a job—about their children,the viciousness（谬误）of bridge and their health.
In fact,Arnott is an exception to the exception.Not only has she lived 20 years past the average lifespan for Canadians,she’s healthy,her mind is sharp and she lives independently.
Born in Brooklyn on May 28,1909,Arnott was rais ed on Staten Island.She survived scarlet fever （猩红热）,helped bring up four siblings（兄弟姐妹）after her mother died in 1923 and worked as a secretary in New York City for 12 years,earning $35 a week and a $150 bonus at Christmas.
Now she’s h appy living in a one-room apartment with a kitchen and a bathroom in her daughter’s house.She wears a hearing aid,does the cryptic crossword（有隐义的纵横字谜）with a magnifying glass,and can’t really explain why she has lived so well so long.
Until recently,she has still liked to drink red wine—she used to drink two glasses before supper each day.It’s more likely genes,she admits.Her interest in other people and life in general may have had something to do with it.Asked if a Star photographer can take her picture at the pool,Arnott seems cheerful.
“I look good in a swimsuit,” she says,nodding her head firmly.“I look better in a swimsuit than I do in pants.”
66.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.Mary Arnott likes to swim and is known to the local people.
B.Mary Arnott is afraid to swim at the swimming pool.
C.Mary Arnott can’t swim but she likes water.
D.Mary Arnott just likes to talk to her friends at the bank of the swimming pool.
67.Which of the following is TRUE as for Mary Arnott as an exception to the exception?
A.She has lived 30 years past the average lifespan for Canadians.
B.She’s healthy and her mind is sharp.
C.She lives with her daughter.
D.She likes to live with her children and has a happy life.
68.What happened when Mary Arnott was 14?
A.She had a disease called scarlet fever but survived.
B.Her mother died and she had to bring up her sisters and brothers.
C.She found a job as a secretary in New York City.
D.She was born in Brooklyn.
69.What may Mary Arnott think of her life?
A.Bitter.
B.Happy.
C.Meaningless.
D.Boring.
70.If someone asks about swimming,Mary Arnott may_________.
A.like pants
B.like swimsuit better
C.like to sit at the bank
D.like to swim with girls
（D）
I am a writer.I spend a great deal of time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke (唤起)an emotion,a visual image,a complex idea,or a simple nguage is the tool of my trade.And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.
Bo rn into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California,I’ve been giving more thoughts to the kind of English my mother speaks.Like others,I have described it to people as “broken” English.But I feel embarrassed to say that.It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”,as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed,as if it lacked a certain wholeness.I’ve heard other terms used,“limited English”,for example.But they seem just as bad,as if everything is limite d,including people’s perceptions (认识) of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact,because when I was growing up，my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her.I was ashamed of her English.I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say.That is,because she expressed them imperfectly,her thoughts were imperfect.And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores,at banks,and at restaurants did not take her seriously,did not give her good service,pretended not to understand her,or even acted as if they did not hear her.
I started writing fiction in 1985.And for reasons I won’t get into today,I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me,which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”； and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese,her internal (内在的) language,and for that I sought to preserve the essence，but neither an English nor a Chinese structure.I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show: her intention,her feelings,the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
71.By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”， the author means that_________.
A.she uses English in foreign trade
B.she is fascinated by languages
C.she works as a translator
D.she is a writer by profession
72.The author used to think of her mother’ s English as_________.
A.impolite
B.amusing
C.imperfect
D.practical
73.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
A.Americans do not understand broken English.
B.The author’ s mother was not respected sometimes.
C.The author’ s mother had positive influence on her.
D.Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.
74.The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is_________.
A.well structured
B.in the old style
C.easy to translate
D.rich in meaning
75.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The change of the author’ s attitude to her mother’ s English.
B.The limitation of the author’ s perception of her mother.
C.The author’s misunderstanding of “limited” English.
D.The author’ s experiences of using broken English.

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到题后相应的位置上（请注意问题后的词数要求）。

［1］Global difference in intelligence is a sensitive topic, long filled with a large number of different opinions.But recent data has indeed shown cognitive (认知的) ability to be higher in some countries than in others.What’s more, IQ scores have risen as nations develop—a phenomenon known as the “Flynn effect”.Many causes have been put forward for both the intelligence difference and the Flynn effect, including education, income, and even non-agricultural labor.Now, a new study from researchers at the University of New Mexico offers another interesting theory: intelligence may be linked to infectious-disease rates.
［2］The brain, say author Christopher Eppig and his colleagues, is the “most costly organ in the human body”.Brainpower consumes almost up to 90 percent of a newborn’s energy.It’s clear that if something affects energy intake while the brain is growing, the impact could be long and serious.And for vast parts of the globe, the biggest threat to a child’s body—and therefore brain—is parasitic (由寄生虫引起的) infection.These illnesses threaten brain development________.They can directly attack live tissue, which the body must then try every means to replace.They can invade the digestive pipe and block nutritional intake.They can rob the body’s cells for their own reproduction.And then there’s the energy channeled (输送) to the immune system to fight the infection.
［3］Using data on national “disease burdens” (life y ears lost due to infectious diseases) and average intelligence scores, the authors found they are closely associated.The countries with the lowest average IQ scores have the highest disease burdens without exception.On the contrary, nations with low disease burdens top the IQ list.
［4］If the study holds water, it could be revolutionary for our understanding of the
still-confusing variation in national intelligence scores.
76.What is the main idea of the text？(no more than 10 words)
__________________________________________________
plete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 4 words)
Those countries that have the ________ are always at the bottom of the IQ list.
