第三部分：阅读理解(15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
第一节（共12小题；每小题2分，满分24分）
阅读下面的短文，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
Think of some of your favorite singers. When you listen, they can make you happy or sad, peaceful or angry. They can make you relax or want to get up and dance. Gifted singers have the power to affect us in many ways — emotionally, physically and mentally.
But becoming a great singer isn’t as easy as listening to one. It takes practice, devotion and strong lungs! Just ask the well-known American opera star Carol Vaness.
At the Metropolitan Opera in New York City where she often sings, Carol’s voice must be loud enough to be heard by four thousand people. It must reach every person in the theater, without a microphone, even when she’s singing softly. The rea son Carol can project her voice that far is the way she breathes.
“When you breathe, it’s like a swimmer taking a deep breath before going underwater, ” Carol explains. “You have to take a lot of air into your lungs.”
According to Carol, the main differenc e between pop singing and opera is “how you breathe, how much air you take in, and how you control it coming out. Regular singing is more like speaking, and it’s a lot softer. When I sing for children, they’re often surprised by how the vibrations strike t heir ears —like waves on a beach, ” Carol says. “In opera, the air doesn’t just go out of your mouth — it vibrates in your chest, the way a guitar vibrates when it’s played.”
Ever since she started piano lessons at the age of ten, Carol has loved music. As she got older, she decided to become a music teacher. When she went to college, she took singing lessons as part of her studies. Her voice teacher discovered that nineteen-year-old Carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano voice – the highest singing voice for women.
Carol decided to make opera her goal, not only because she loved to sing but also because she loved the drama. Opera is a play in which the characters sing the words instead of speaking them. The stories of opera can be tragic or comical. They can be personal stories about two people falling in love or grand stories about kings and queens who lived long ago. As the characters in an opera sing, the emotions expressed by words and music come to life.
Today, Carol performs throughout the United States and Europe and she has sung for almost twenty years. But she has never forgotten where she started singing in the first palace.
“Put your heart into your singing and enjoy it,” says Carol, “because singing is a great joy.
That’s why I sing. In fact, that’s why everybody sings.”
56.According to the passage, the Metropolitan Opera in New York City _____.
A. is a five-story building
B. can seat 4,000 people
C. has no microphone in it
D. can project the singer’s voice
57.What is the best title for this passage?
A. Opera Singing and Pop Singing
B. The Way an Opera Star Sings
C. An Opera Star
D. Singing without a Microphone
58.Which statement is true?
A. A pop singer breathes more deeply than an opera singer when he or she sings.
B. Opera singing is more like speaking.
C. A pop singer takes in much more air than an opera singer when singing.
D. An opera singer breathes differently from a pop singer when singing.
59.From the passage you can conclude all the following EXCEPT that _____.
A. Carol once learned to play the piano
B. Carol worked as a music teacher
C. Carol has been singing opera for 20 years or so
D. Carol is popular with Americans and Europeans
60.The sentence “Put your heart into your singing” in the last paragraph means “_______”.
A. devoting yourself to singing
B. taking trouble to sing
C. singing happily
D. trying your best to sing

The way people hold to the belief that a fun - filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably(不可避免的)brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (义务), self - improvement.
Ask a bachelor(单身汉)why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant chi ldren are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
64. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _______ .
A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
B. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single
C. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage
D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement
65. Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ________ .
A. a moral duty
B. a thankless job
C. a rewarding task
D. a source of inevitable pain
66. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ________ .
A. hatred
B. misunderstanding
C. prejudice
D. ignorance
67. To understand what true happiness is one must ________ .
A. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetime
B. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain
C. put up with pain under all circumstances
D. be able to distinguish happiness from fun
68. What is the author trying to tell us?
A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.
B. One must know how to attain happiness.
C. It is important to make commitments.
D. It is pain that leads to happiness.
D
Russian tradition orders that men should kiss each other three times on the cheeks at official functions. Now, a new ruling in Moscow is calling for politicians in the capital to stick to the old handshake. According to Britain's The Telegraph newspaper, politicians in Moscow have been told to stop kissing each other when they meet because the “kissing ceremony” takes so long.
Leonid Brezhnev, the general secretary of the Communist Party from 1929 to 1932, was famous for treating male colleagues to a full lip-lock. One photograph of him kissing Erich Honecker, the leader of the Democratic Republic of Germany, was used for a protest painting on the Berlin Wall with the caption: "Oh, God, help me survive this deadly love".
Kissing three times on the cheeks at official occasions is a Russian tradition. The practice has been revived among high-ranking officials in the past years. In the distant past, a kiss from the tsar (emperor) was the highest sign of recognition. The Moscow ruling, however, has prompted authorities in other cities to consider banning the practice.
Alexei Kleshko, a parliament member in Siberia, said: “Single-sex kisses should be avoided, including at official meetings. It's enough to shake hands. Of course, if one is talking about a long friendship or fatherly relations, it might be OK to embrace. But that's the maximum that should be allowed.”
Another MP Vladimir Gorlov, said he only allowed himself to kiss the hand of a woman at work: "There are informal relations and there are meetings governed by protocol," he said. “When a man is kissing another man at an official event, I have a negative attitude towards it. There are rules of decency. "
69. Moscow is calling for politicians to stick to handshake because ________.
A. it is popular at home and abroad
B. it is their tradition
C. it saves time
D. Russian women have a strong love of it
70. By mentioning Brezhnev, the author ________.
A. wants to show his respect to Brezhner
B. admires Brezhnev for his skills at kissing
C. just shows the media made fun of pictures of politicians kissing
D. praises Brezhnev’s good relation with Honecker
71. If the tsar kissed a Russian woman, she would feel ________.
A. nervous
B. proud
C. shameful
D. curious
72. We can infer from the last two paragraphs that ________.
A. Kleshko is strongly against any kind of kiss
B. Kleshko is a man out of date
C. Gorlove shares the same view with Kleshko is single-sex kisses
D. Gorlove won’t kiss any man in any form
第二节（共3小题；每小题2分，满分6分）
阅读下面短文，简要回答问题。

(共3小题；每小题2分，满分6分)
I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice boom from across the aisle. “Mom，come here! There’s this lady here my size！”
The mother rushed to a boy she called Mickey；then she turned to me to apologize.
I smiled and told her，“It’s okay.”Then I talked to the boy，“Hi，Mickey，I’m Darry Kramer. How are you?”
He studied me from head to toe，and asked，“Are you a little mommy?”
“Yes, I have a son”I answered.
“Why are you so little?”he asked.
…It s the way I was born.”I said.“Some people are little.Some are tall.I’m just not going to grow any bigger.”After about five more minutes of answering questions，I shook Mickey’s hand, and he returned to his mother.
My life as a little person is filled with stories 1ike that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.It has taken many years to develop my confidence to be able to do that.
It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness.I stand three feet, nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf(侏儒). Despite this，my parents encouraged me to do all the things the kids around me did when I was growing up. When my neighbors got two-wheel bikes，I got a two-wheel bike. When they roller-skated, I roller-skated.
I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school. There，a few kids picked on me，calling me names.Then I knew. After that，I began to hate the first day of school each year. I didn’t know who was new and would stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.
As time went on，I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I was determined to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage.
What I lacked in height，I made up for in personality．
I’m 47 now，and the stares have not diminished as I’ve grown older. People 1ook in disbelief when they see me get out of my car off the driver’s side．During those times，I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude，I remind myself，“Look what else I have—a great family. Nice friend s.”
And it’s the children’s questions that make my 1ife special. When I talk with children, they leave content that their questions have been answered. My hope is that in taking time with them，I will encourage them to accept their peers whatever size and shape they come in，and treat them with respect.

Blood Drive at Civic Center
The local university blood center had a blood drive today at the Civic Center auditorium. Almost 300 people showed up, but about 50 were turned away for various medical reasons. Fifty others left because the lines were moving so slowly. The event concluded at 6 pm, three hours after the scheduled close. It was a long day for everyone-administrators, nurses, and donors. But there were plenty of chairs and tables, and many people brought their own books, magazines, or newspapers.
The first thing the donors had to do, of course , was fill out the donor registration and screening form. When they finished filling out the form, they waited until a nurse called them to her desk. The average adult body contains 8 to 12 pints of blood. Donors can give one pint at a time. It takes your body 2 to 4 weeks to replace this amount. Most donors filled up the pint bag within 5 to 10 minutes.
Before leaving, the donors received a sheet of instructions including: Do not lift any heavy objects for 12 hours. Leave your pressure bandage on for 2~3 hours. Do not smoke for at least 30 minutes. Avoid alcohol for the rest of the day. Do not do any laborious activity for 24 hours.
“I wish I could hug and kiss all the volunteers that are here today,” said Martha, the blood center donor recruiter. “Many donors underestimate the importance of what they’re doing. They think it is no big deal, but it is a big deal. Their blood is actually saving lives, helping other people to live, which will lead to a more harmonious society. We cannot thank them enough for that, nor can the recipients.”

Chinese students celebrate their birthdays in different ways, but the most common way is to hold a birthday party, at which friends get together to drink, sing and dance.

18.a birthday party 19.get together; 20.meaningful
单项选择：
21. A midnight午夜前不加冠词；get the best of战胜，击败
22. A a normal response/reaction to sth.对…的正常反应；第二空根据其后的an accident可知选injure。

23. B 虚拟语气的考查。

对过去事实的虚拟，条件从句用过去完成时，主句用would/could/might+现在完成时。

24. C while在此表对比，“尽管”，引起一个让步状语从句。

25. D 虚拟条件句中有were/should/had时，可省略if，把were/should/had提前。

26. C take up开始从事；save up储蓄；keep up坚持，继续；draw up起草，制定
27. D used to do sth.过去常做某事；be devoted to doing sth.致力于做某事；B项错在work上，应该用working。

当主句与从句主语一致时，且从句中含有be动词，这是可省略从句主语和be动词，补充完整则为“when it is taken”。

35. A 从前一句看，应是对过去的虚拟，因此，but后的句子应该是过去的事实，用一般过去时。
