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，从每小题所给的四个选项（A，B， C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项.
A
I am a 21-year-old boy, and this is my story. One month after I graduated from high school in 2009, I was coming home from
swim practice and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injured
that I was in a coma(昏迷) for over two months at Prince Georges Hospital.
I died eight times during my coma and I couldn't talk or communicate when
I woke up. Walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries.
Just like my body, my dreams were shattered(破灭). But I was not going to let
my injuries prevent me from living my dreams.
After 14 operations and blood transfusions, I had to learn how to talk, eat,
walk, shower and live independently again. When I was out of hospital, I still
had to go to outpatient therapy （门诊治疗) in Waldorf, Maryland. After spending
a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle
that I could walk again, but I wanted to prove that I could not only walk, but
run. When it came true, I wanted to get back in the pool again. After a few
lung tests, I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few
months of swim training, I began my freshman year at St. Mary's College of
Maryland and became a proud member of the swim team.
By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world. I
am just trying to live each day to the fullest and inspire other people never
to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is. I remember when I
was still in my hospital bed, I would have my mom and dad push me around in
my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and talk to them and
their families. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay.
Somehow, things would work out for the best. .
56. When the car accident happened, the author__________.
A. was a high school student
B. had finished his high school education
C. was a college student
D. was returning home from a swim competition
57. It can be inferred that the author __________ after he woke up from his coma.
A. was out of hospital
B. was in surprise
C. faced physical and mental challenges
D. was worried about his
lung
58. What can we learn from the author’s recovery?
A. Attitude is everything.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Everything happens for a reason.
D. A good beginning is half done.
59. What does the author mainly want to show in the last paragraph?
A. His purpose of sharing his story.
B. His painful experiences.
C. His influence on others.
D. His great achievements.
B
You might say that one reason why Barack Obama is President of the US is
that he knows how to give a good speech. In 2004, when Massachusetts Senator
高三英语月考试题第3页（共8页）高三英语月
(议员) John Kerry was the Democratic Party's nominee (候选人) for the presidency, a little-known senator from Illinois gave the main speech at the Democratic National Convention.
That senator was Obama. It was a famous speech poetic, personal, and inspiring. The people who heard it would remember it for a long time.
Since 2004, Obama has written and published thousands of speeches. These are usually praised for two reasons : he treats the audiences like intelligent adults (成年人) , and he is able to express complicated (复杂的) ideas in a straightforward, natural way.
Before becoming President, Obama was a lawyer, a college professor, and a successful writer—his two books have become best-sellers. The skills he needed to succeed in his previous(以前的) jobs have also contributed to his success as a speechmaker.
As a lawyer, Obama learned how to make strong, believable arguments. As a professor, he learned how to explain complicated subject in ways that helped students understand without boring them. As a writer, he learned how to use language to have a powerful impact on his audiences (观众）. Star musician even turned one of Obama’s early speeches into a song during the election.
Obama delivers speeches to audiences large and small. He can make his audiences laugh or cry. His speeches are always thoughtful, well written, and just right for each situation. You can see how Obama changes his style(凤格) in his speeches for two very different purposes.
60. From the text, the writer's purpose of writing the text is to make us know that _____on a person’s way to success.
A. the advantage of intelligence and characters
B. the advantage of family background
C. the importance of being good at expression
D. the importance of natural science and efforts
61. Which of the following is TRUE about the passage?
A. His speech was full of rich feelings, common style and encouragement.
B. The content of his speeches is deep and difficult to understand.
C. Obama was a lawyer, a college professor and a successful businessman before
becoming President
D. The skills he learned in his previous job have also helped him to become a successful
speaker.
62. The underlined word "impact" is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. duty
B. influence
C. protection
D. support
63. We can infer that Obama changes his style in speeches by reducing or increasing
A. new opinions
B. some advice
C. rich feelings
D. more details C Sicily, an island of Italy, is home to beautiful beaches, outstanding food,
and a bit of Italian history on every corner. It's located just southwest of
the Italian mainland and it's the largest Mediterranean island. Invaded by many
armies over the centuries, it became the site of Roman and Greek colonies. Those
cultures remain to this day.
As part of the 2006 Year of Italy in China, an exhibition of Sicilian culture
is being held at the National Museum of China from August 29 to October 27.
Although they have a rich culture and history, Sicilian people lead a simple
life. Living on land with fertile soil, most of them work in agriculture, fishing
and mining, and of course tourism.
In Sicily, most stores and businesses are closed from one to four in the
afternoon. Streets become crowded around five as people start to go out and engage
in a variety of activities. They may take a walk to the shops, enjoy
eating a pastry or just meet up with friends.
Food is one of the great pleasures of Sicilian people. There is an old
Sicilian saying: "With a contented stomach, your heart is forgiving. With an
empty stomach you forgive nothing." People will go miles out of their way to
eat fresh seafood, such as tuna (金枪鱼), swordfish (旗鱼) and sardines (沙
丁鱼). Pasta (面团) is the main food. Each region has its seasonal pasta dishes,
and every family cook their own specialty. Bread is common too. As another
Sicilian saying goes, "A table without bread is like a day without sunshine."
In Sicily, bread is always freshly baked or bought, and usually twice a day.
64. Which of the following can probably be the correct map according to the text?
65. Which words can probably be used to describe the lifestyle of Sicilian people?
A. Busy and tiring.
B. Enjoyable and relaxing.
C. Simple and boring.
D. Tense and depressed.
66. From the last paragraph we know _____.
A. the eating habit of the Sicilian people
B. the
importance of old saying in Sicily
C. the starvation of Sicilian people
D. the
character of Sicilian people
67. Which statement is NOT TRUE according to the text?
A. Sicily was once conquered by the Romans and Greek.
B. Sicilian culture has been part of Chinese culture since 2006.
C. Sicilian people mostly live on farming, fishing, mining as well as
tourism.
D. Bread is the most common food for Sicilian people.

D
We may all have had the embarrassing moment: Getting half-way through a story only to realize that we’ve told this exact tale before, to the same person. Why do we make such memory mistakes?
According to a research published in Psychological Science, it may have to do with the way our brains process different types of memory.
Researchers Nigel Gopie, of the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, and Colin Macleod, of the University of Waterloo, divided memory into two kinds. The first was source memory, or the ability to keep track of where information is coming from. The second was destination memory, or the ability to recall who we have given information to.
They found that source memory functions better than destination memory, in part because of the direction in which that information is travelling.
To study the differences between source and destination memory, the researchers did an experiment on 60 university students, according to a New York Times report. The students were asked to associate 50 random facts with the faces of 50 famous people. Half of the students “told”each fact to one of the faces, reading it aloud when the celebrity’s (名人的) picture appeared on a computer screen. The other half read each fact silently and saw a different celebrity picture afterward.
When later asked to recall which facts went with which faces, the students who were giving information out (destination memory) scored about 16% lower on memory performance compared with the students receiving information (source memory).
The researchers concluded that out-going information was less associated with its environmental context(背景）—that is, the person—than was incoming information.
This makes sense given what is known about attention. A person who is giving information, even little facts, will devote some mental resources to thinking about what is being said. Because our attention is limited, we give less attention to the person we are giving information to.
After a second experiment with another group of 40 students, the researchers concluded that self-focus is another factor that undermines(gradually lessen) destination memory.
They asked half the students to continue giving out random information, while the other told things about themselves. This time around, those who were talking about themselves did 15% worse than those giving random information.
“When yo u start telling these personal facts compared with non-self facts, suddenly destination memory goes down more,. suggesting that it is the self-focus component (成分) that's reducing the memory,” Gopie told Live Science.
68. The point of this article is to __________.
A. give advice on how to improve memory
B. say what causes the memory to worsen
C. explain why we repeat stories to those we've already told them to
D. discuss the differences between source and destination memory
69. What can we learn from the article?
A. Source memory helps us remember who we have told the information to.
B. One’s limited attention is one of the reasons why those reading aloud to the celebrity’s pictures perform worse on the memory test.
C. Silent reading is a better way to remember information than reading aloud.
D. It tends to be more difficult for people to link incoming information with its environmental context than outgoing information
70. What did the scientists conclude from the second experiment?
A. Destination memory is weaker than source memory.
B. Focusing attention on oneself leads to relatively poor source memory performance.
C. Associating personal experience with information helps people memorize better.
D. Self-focus is responsible for giving information twice or more to the same person.

There is an English saying : “ 71 ” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. 72
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. 73 If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated (忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 74 75 They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
A. Laughter can prolong one's life.
B. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients’condition by encouraging them to laugh.
C. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of
chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.
D. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the
feet.
E. Although laughter helps cure the disease, doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice.
F. Laughter is the best medicine.
G. They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.
