第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A 、B 、C 、D 中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
A new research result announces that both male and female speak about 16,000 words a day on average. However, popular impression would have it that women talk more than men--- 20,000 words a day, while men average just 7,000. The new study in Science magazine contradicts(与…矛盾) that old view. Both sexes say about the same number of words.
“It's been a common belief, but it just didn't fit,” says James Pennebaker, psychology department chairman at the University of
Texas-Austin. He and co-workers analyzed the conversations recorded
from 2006 to 2010 of 396 students in the USA and Mexico, including 210
women and 186 men, ages 18-29. The study didn’t care about vocabulary
or word use, but rather word count by using a recorder that researchers designed during the study.
The finding may seem surprising in a culture where women are often considered as talkative and men as uncommunicative. Expert Brizendine
used the 20,000 vs. 7,000 comparison in her book The Female Brain as
evidence for gender(性别) brain differences. After the book came out
in August, its contents and figures were thought highly of and were
widely quoted.
A professor says that previous studies have focused on phone conversations and interviews, rather than on daily life. If you just look around at the number of women on cell phones chatting with friends, it is no wonder it seems women are the chattier sex. And interviewing some men is like pulling teeth to get them talking. Phones and interviews may not be a good fit to get men talking. It’s like saying that women don’t talk as much at sports events and beer drinking contests. So next time you think that men don’t communicate and pretend to be the strong silent type, just remember that perhaps the context is the problem, not the fact that they are uncommunicative.
46. How many words do women use a week according to the new research?
A. about 140,000
B. about 47,000
C. about 112,000
D. about 28,000
47. According to our traditional belief, women are __________.
A. more uncommunicative than men
B. more talkative than
men
C. as talkative as men
D. as uncommunicative
as men
48. If men are unlikely to communicate, then the problem maybe lies in
_________________.
A. their gender
B. their brain differences
C. the discussing environment
D. their characters
49. It can be inferred that when The Female Brain was published, it was
____________.
A. refused by most scientists.
B. seldom used as useful knowledge by others.
C. considered as evidence for gender brain similarities.
D. accepted as reference material by most scientists.
B
The president of Indonesia is asking for foreign help to fight forest and agricultural fires in his country. Until now, Indonesia had repeatedly refused offers of help from overseas to fight the smoky fires. The country has faced sharp criticism for turning down offers of assistance from Singapore, its neighbor. President Joko Widodo said on Thursday that the Indonesian government was asking for help from Singapore and three other countries. The three are Russia, Malaysia and Japan. The president said that Indonesian helicopters are only able to carry a small amount of the water needed to put out the fires. The Associated Press reported his comments.
The Indonesian National Institute of Aeronautics and Space says more than 1,300 fires are burning across the country. The government has deployed about 25,000 soldiers, police and firefighters in six provinces to battle the fires.
Indonesian farmers, developers and other businesses often burn rainforest to clear land at this time of year. The burning usually takes place during the country's dry season. But a large rise in palm（棕榈）oil production on peat lands is blamed for the many fires this year. Peat is made partly of dead plants. It burns easily and is often used as cooking fuel.
The resulting thick, black smoke has polluted skies over Indonesia and four other countries. The burning has worsened air quality, closed schools and forced the cancellation of sporting events and other outdoor activities. The smoke is not only affecting people; it is affecting wildlife. In Indonesian Borneo, an orangutan（猩猩）rescue center says
some of its animals have developed breathing problems. If the fires continue, a lot more orangutans could become sick and some could die. Scientists have warned that the fires this year could be worst ever because of a weather system called El Nino. They say the weather system has created extremely dry conditions in Indonesia.
50. Which statement is true according to the passage?
A. The president of Indonesia often asked for foreign help to fight forest and agricultural fires.
B. Indonesian helicopters can carry a large amount of the water needed to put out the fires.
C. Many orangutans became sick and died because of the fires.
D. Scientists say El Nino has created extremely dry conditions in Indonesia.
51. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word in paragraph2?
A. explored
B. placed
C. discussed
D. agreed
52. What’s the main cause of the many fires this year in Indonesia?
A. the increase in palm oil production on peat lands.
B. the burning of rainforest.
C. the dry weather.
D. the carelessness of tourists.C
The Hunan Satellite TV(HNTV) show “Where are we going, Dad?” is a big hit. Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone, and they had to spend 72 hours with their children there. The program fully showed us a modern version of the “h ow to be a good father”. As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children, this new form of “Lost on the way” played by nanny Daddy and cute kids triggered（触发）a lot of people’s emotional resonance （共鸣）. Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer. But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children.
The TV shows like “Children are hard to support!”, “Where are we going, Dad?”, “hot mom” and “cute kids” are becoming more and more popular. All of these show the new parents’ confusion in children’s education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.
In real life, on the one hand the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand they continue to do so. The data collected by HNTV shows that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female, among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34.We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young
children, while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing, or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom. The story of a child without the company of father is still going on. In fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers. In a modern family, it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child. The participation of mother in the children’s education is also very low.
It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education, and where the parents will guide their children to go that “Where are we going, Dad?” shows us. If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher. Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot. The truth is that children will go where their parents go; and society will go where the children go.
53. Which one is the best title of the passage?
A. Confusion Behind “Where are we going, dad?”
B. Modern Education is Important
C. Nanny Daddy and Cute Kids
D. New problems in Modern Children’s Education
54. Which of the following can be inferred in the passage?
A. Parents shouldn’t entirely leave the education of children to the old.
B. 36% of the audience of the program are female aged from 25-34.
C. The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play.
D. In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child.
55. What attitude towards modern family education does the author express in the second paragraph?
A. Proud.
B. Worried.
C. Optimistic.
D. Indifferent.

My friend Lily is weak in PE. In my mind, she was nobody and couldn’t match me. But to my surprise, when the art grades came, I was ashamed. Her grades were much higher than mine. Then I realized she is somebody and regretted looking down upon her. I asked her to teach me art and I helped her with her PE. We both got fine grades in the final tests. From this, I realized anyone will do pretty well in some aspect. What I should do is to watch and learn. Only in this way can I make a difference.。
