第三部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
In the very early 1800’s, a young boy about 14 years old named John lived in an orphanage (孤儿院) in Old England along with several other children. Orphan meant unwanted and unloved.
Christmas was the one day of the year when the children didn’t work and received a gift, an orange. Usually they tried to taste and preserve it for so long that it often rotted before they ever peeled(剥开)it to enjoy the sweet juice. Many thoughts were expressed as Christmas time approached. The children would say, “I will keep mine the longest.” John usually slept with his next to his pillow. This year John was overjoyed by the Christmas season. He was becoming a man and stronger and soon he would be old enough to leave. He would save his orange until his birthday in July.
Christmas day finally came. The children were so excited as they entered the big dining hall. Immediately the master shouted, “John,leave the hall and there will be no orange for you this year.”John’s heart broke violently wide open. He turned and went swiftly back to the cold room. Then he heard the door open and each of the children entered. Little Elizabeth with her hair falling over her shoulders, a smile on her face, and tears in her eyes held out a piece of rag to John. “Here John,” she said, “this is for you.” As he lifted back the edges of the rag he saw a big juicy orange all peeled and quartered and then he realized what they had done.
John never forgot the sharing, love and personal sacrifice his friends had shown him that Christmas day. In memory of that day every year he would send oranges all over the world to children everywhere.
56. The first paragraph is mainly to tell us that ______.
A. John lived in the early 1800’s
B. John’s parents had died
C. John lived a hard life in an orphanage
D. John lived with several other children
57. What would overjoy John most the next year according to the second paragraph?
A. He placed his orange next to his pillow.
B. He would eat his orange on his birthday.
C. He wouldn’t get his special gift.
D. He would stay in the orphanage for another year
58.According to the text, where did John’s orange come from this year?
A. It was made up of what these children donated.
B. His master gave him a whole one again.
C. These children bought him one.
D. Little Elizabeth donated hers to John.
B
How old is “old”? The answer has changed over the years. Two hundred years ago, you were old at 35. That was the average life then. At the turn of this century, as medical knowledge advanced, the average life span(长度) increased to 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old is looking forward to many more active years.
So, how old is old? The answer is one you’ve heard many times, from all sorts of people. “You are as old (or young) as you feel!” The calendar(日历) simply tells you how many years you have lived. Your body tells you how well you’ve lived.
“Youth,” wrote an author, “is not a time of life --- it is a state of mind. Nobody grows old by living a num ber of years; people grow old by deserting their ideals.”
There are neither biological nor physiological reasons to connect poor health with growing older. Older people are more likely to be affected with illness and physical disabilities than you are, but old age itself is not a disease. It is possible to remain physically fit throughout your life.
Older minds can be as bright as young minds. Senility (衰老) is part of the normal aging process, but it is not a sign of disease. In a 1985 study of men aged 20, 40, 60 and 80 years, no evidence was found to indicate that aging was associated with an inevitable (不可避免的) fall in intellectual performance, in generally healthy people. Older people give up smoking and break other bad habits just as successfully as younger people.
59. This article is mainly about ____.
A. the average life span
B. aging
C. life
D. youth
60. According to the article, which statement is true?
A. Aging does not mean you become unhealthy.
B. Older people are not as smart as young people.
C. Most older people are physically fit.
D. Most older people are in poor health
61. Which question is NOT mentioned in the article?
A. The average life span today.
B. Senility is a normal part of aging.
C. Older people don’t have more trouble breaking bad habits.
D. You’re old only when you feel old.
62. In the writer’s opin ion, today a healthy 70-year-old man is most probably considered to be
____.
A. really old
B. in poor health
C. a sign of senility
D. more active
C
Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have
no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone．
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. "It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone." Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. It is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year．He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. "The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person," said the 30-year-old.
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said: "Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness."
63．Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A．Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone．
B．It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries．
C．It is comfortable to travel around without a friend．
D．Traveling abroad helps people to find new things．
64．Traveling alone is challenging because ．
A．you have to make things on your own
B．it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
C．you depend on yourself whatever happens
D．it will finally build your character
65．What can we infer about Chris Richardson?
A．He started traveling at an early age．B．He was once shot in the arm．
C．He used to work as a salesman．D．His website inspires others a lot．66．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Travel Abroad B．Travel Unaccompanied C．Travel Light D．Travel Wide and Far
D
Started in 1636,Harvard University is the oldest of all the colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.
In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.
In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard’s law school. In 1825,besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began
teaching American history.
As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.
Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There’s so much to l earn that one kind of school can’t offer it all.

Sometimes willpower is a lot like the television remote control-hard to find just when you want it most. ____71 But there are ways to increase your willpower．
* Don't try to change your economic situation, win a promotion and lose weight all on the same morning. Set one clear, specific goal and make a realistic plan to achieve it. Extra willpower sometimes requires extra energy, so don't spread yourself too thin．72
* Whatever your goal is, don't expect to achieve it overnight．73 If you are trying to kick a coffee habit, start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of water, instead of promising never to drink coffee again. Congratulate yourself on the small achievements．These success help your willpower grow．
* 74 Ask friends, family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help. If your credit card bills have risen, for instance, let friends know that you are cutting back on expenses. Suggest having a common dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant. Find a support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meetings. You can get valuable advice, understanding and information．
* If possible, change your environment to encourage positive behavior. Want to get in shape? Keep an extra set of workout clothes in your office as a reminder to stop by the gym on the way home. Quitting smoking? 75
A．Real success takes time．
B．Focus on one goal at a time．
C．Change your environment to change your life．
D．Improve your willpower by a support network．
E．Changing your behavior requires more than willpower．
F．Avoid bars or restaurants where you might be attracted to light up．
G．Breaking a bad habit or forming a new and healthy one can be difficult．

Dear Ms Kate,
I’m Li Hua. Four years ago, I received your letter and schooling fees. I’m very grateful for your kindness and generosity.
But for your help, I couldn’t enjoy a wonderful college life in the beautiful campus right now. I’ve made a lot of friends here. Moreover, I am studying hard so as to acquire an abundant knowledge of English, which is my major. In fact, I’m making progress each day. Only in this way can I learn more and use what I’ve known to help those in need as well. Besides, I’m determine d to go back to my hometown after graduation and devote myself to building my hometown to make it more prosperous and beautiful.
Words seem to fail me when I try once more to express my thanks to you, and I’ll keep my promise and not let you down.
Yours sincerely
Li Hua。
