第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

A
Zhang Fei is perhaps the best known of the 3,000 freshmen（大一新生）at Tsinghua University, but he has no desire to be famous. This year, the 24-year-old is beginning his third “first term” in higher
education, after previously being admitted and later expelled from Tsinghua in 2005 and Peking University in 2003. Despite being one of top performers in the college entrance examinations, the Sichuan native has not realized his portential because of his addiction to the Internet.
How Zhang will perform this time has attracted the attention of the nation. In order to distance himself from his previous identity, the student has changed his name to Zhang Konggu. “I don’t want to be disturbed any more,”he said, clearly uncomfortable at being in the spotlight. He refused to show his long-term goals, saying he wanted only to focus on the present. In July, Tao, a sociologist and guest professor in Wuhan, flew from Hubei to Sichuan to provide emotional support for Zhang. The two met again on Friday. “He is healthy, and looks more confident than ever,” Tao said. Zhang, who has not been online since July, said he would never again play computer games because he wanted to completely kick the habit and save money to help his parents in the countryside. “ The biggest change in Zhang over the past few months is that he has started interacting with his parents again, and even did some housework.That would never have happened before,” Tao said. However, he was more concerned about Zhang’s emotional development. “Zhang is spoiled, he almost always got what he wanted when he was growing up.He even ran away when his family arranged a big dinner in the village to celebrate his success in the entrance exams,” Tao said. “ He’s talented, but he has trouble getting along with others. In his case, the key point is how he can step out from his own world and make friends with others.”( In the 2007 National College Entrance Exams, Zhang scored 677)
56. The reason why he is most famous among the 3,000 freshmen at TsinghuaUniversity is______.
A. He has addicted to the Internet.
B. he performed well in the college entrance exams.
C. he has been enrolled in TsinghuaUniversity again after he was forced to leave the key university.
D. people wanted to know if he could get along wel with his parents.
57. According to the professor, the best way for him to get rid of the bad habit is to ________.
A. let his parents spoil him.
B. try to communicate and make friends with people.
C. devote himself to study.
D. exercise more.
58. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Zhang Fei wants to attract others’ attention.
B. Zhang Fei has not been online for at most 1 month.
C. We are not sure Zhang Fei will forever give up playing computer games.
D. Tao admitted him into TsinghuaUniversity.
59. The underlined word “expel” means______.
A. punish
B. fine
C. drive
D. dismiss
B
It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be resposible for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.
If you give your children the impresssion that they can do anything quite right, then they will regard
themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless the children believe that they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.
My daughter Carla’s fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class special. When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declare firmly they could learn what they had missed.
You can use the same technique when you evaluate your child’s work at home. Don’t always scold and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn’t done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.
60. The whole passage deals with________.
A. social education
B. school education
C. family education
D. pre-school education
61. The anthor thinks that _________.
A. there is no way to get children to help at home.
B. the more encouragement and praise you give, the more resposible and helpful children will
become.
C. it is very difficult to make children responsible for housework.
D. children can be forced to help with housework.
62. The article gives us a good suggestion about how to evaluate your child’s work at home, that is _______________.
A. praise his success
B. promise him a trip
C. give him a punishment
D. promise him a ball game
63. The author advises readers to _________.
A. learn from himself, for he had a good way of teaching.
B. take pride in Carla’s fifth-grade teacher.
C. do as what Carla’s teacher did in educating children
D. follow Carla’s example because she never fails in the test.
64. Having read the last paragraph, we can conclude that _________.
A. pride goes before a fall
B. practice makes perfect
C. no pains, no gains
D. failure is the mother of success
C
Life on the land probably began about 430 million years ago, though it has existed in the water for perhaps as much as 3,000 million years. When we think of the first thing on land, we probably think of strange animals coming out of the oceans, but in fact no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land first. Plants had to be on land before animals arrived. They supplied the first land animals with the surroundings and food necessity, since they, the plants, are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy.
The first plants to exist out of water were probably certain kinds of algae(藻类) which were followed by other plants that grew close to th ground and needed water in which to reproduce（繁殖）. Once the move to land had been made, however, evolution took place quickly. By the end of 100 million years, plants had developed their roots, and some had got tree-like forms since height was very important in gaining sunlight. About 300 million years ago, much of the world was covered with forests of huge trees. In most ways,they were like modern trees. They had roots, leaves, wood, but mostly they had not developed seeds.
65. The main idea of the first paragraph is ________.
A. life on land probably began 430 years ago.
B. the first animal on land came from oceans.
C. there wouldn’t be animals without plants.
D. plants are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy.
66. which of the following staements is true according to the passsage?
A. Algae has existed for more than 430 million years ago.
B. It is impossible that algae might be the earliest plant on land.
C. Plants get food from animals in the oceans.
D. Evolution began after animals appeared on land.
67. Plants with roots appeared about _________ million years ago.
A. 430
B. 300
C. 330
D. 100
68. According to the passage, _____ appeared earlier than ________.
A. apples。

oranges
B.oranges。

apples
C. oranges。

roses
D. algae。

wheat
D
Employees need several kinds of satisfactions if they are to remain productive and enthusiastic in industry. They need to know that their working conditions are safe and adequate（适合）for the kind of the work they do. Also they need reasonable hours of work in order to make their jobs acceptable. If they must work overtime several nights a week, their take-home pay may be higher, but their efficiency and feelings about their jobs decline.
In addition to agreeable working conditions, employer need to have adequate compensation(补偿) for the work they do. Today potential employees also examine the benefits package management offers to compare them with other companies. If one company offers stocks, insurane, vacations, and even child care, other industries must follow suit, or they lose out on hiring the best employees.
Adequacy of working conditions and financial compensation are hardly enough, however, to keep employees satisfied for long, employers also need to feel confident of managements abilities to organize the company. The employer who pays well and has a new modern plant to display their products may still lose the loyalty and devotion of employees through lack of attention to details and disorganization. One recent research study showed that more than half the small businesses failed not due to lack of money but due to the employers lack of management skill.
69. Which of the following could probably be the main idea of this passage?
A. Employees can improve their income in many ways.
B. Emploees can hardly be satisfied.
C. Employers should be skillful in management.
D. Job satisfaction is tied to benefits.
70. The writer of this passage advises that __________.
A. employers should pay their employees as much as possible.
B. emplyees should know about their working conditions clearly.
C. normal working hours are good for keeping efficiency.
D. safety is the chief concern in improving working conditions
71. If a company wants to hire excellent employees, it should __________.
A. offer agreeable working conditions to its employees
B. examine its employees and make selection strickly
C. take great care of the welfare of their employees
D. catch up with other companies in providing other benefits than wages
72. The most imporant thing for a company to keep its employees loyal and energitic is _______.
A. to raise their salary from time to time.
B. to maintain an affective management
C. to be skillful in organizing their work.
D. to pay attention to the development of products.

阅读下面短文，简要回答问题，并将答案转写到答题卡上
When several different people look at the same person, it is not unusual for each of them to see different things。

when you alone observe one behavior or one person at two different times, you may see different things. The following are about some of the factors that lead to these different senses.
⑴ Each person’s se nses of others are formed by his or her own background, cultural condition, education, personal experiences, and even people around him or her.
⑵ Sometimes senses differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what we’ve observed. It is n ot necessarily true that person sense is based on observations of a particular person.
Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person。

or you may center mainly on the situation or role relationship. Most people do not use the same standard to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.
⑶Some times we see only what we want to see or don’t see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs, desires, or temporary emotional states. This is a process known as selective sense. Selective sense is obviously more difficult when stimulus information is particularly obvious, but it can be done. We can have none of this opposite information “He’s basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting.” We can reduce the importance of the opposite information.” All kids get into naughty behavior. Taking a book from bookstore isn’t such a big deal.” We can change the meaning of the opposite information” It wasn’t shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later.”
73. Find a word in the passage closest in meaning to the underlined word “stimulus”.

With only three weeks to go before Christmas，buying presents is a high priority(优先权) for a lot of people．However，this year not so many people are leaving their homes to browse around the shops．These days lots of people can do their shopping in the comfort of their own home with the help of the internet.
Shopping online is becoming more and more popular for a number of reasons。

prices are often lower online,you don’t have to queue up in busy shops and you can buy almost any product imaginable with just a few clicks of your mouse.
Computer trends are often male-dominated（受控的）but this year women are expected to do more shopping on the internet than men. It seems women are now more attracted to the convenience of online shopping than they used to be.
Average spending online this Christmas by women will rise to ￡240 (3350 Yuan)compared to the slightly lower average of ￡233 for men,while the average spend per person on the high street is only ￡197.70% of internet users, male and female, are now buying their Christmas gifts online.
In the past a lot of people were reluctant（难看到的）to shop online. Many were worried about the security of entering their card details on the internet and the reliability of the internet but as shopping online has become more widespread，these worries have begun to disappear. 45% of internet users still do have security worries but it hasn’t slowed down the ever-increasing numbers of online shoppers.
One victim of the online shopping boom（繁荣）is the UK high street. Christmas trading can represent up to 60％of turnover（营业额）for some stores. Many companies are concerned that, not enough shoppers are coming through their doors in the run-up to Christmas. As a result there are lots of special offers（特价优待）in the shops.
Most shops traditionally have sales after Christmas but this year the bargains have come early in an attempt to attract consumers to spend. Bad news for the high street has become good news for the bank balances（结算）of UK shoppers this Christmas！

One possible version:
At present, short messages are widely involved in various TV programs．People react to them in different ways．
Defenders hold the view that short messages offer the audiences more chances to participate in the live programs．In this way, the mass media benefit a lot from them．On the other hand, they appeal to the need of
the young people．
Critics accuse that if the short messages are out of control, we cannot ensure the taste of the programs．What’s more, the expenses may make audiences feel bad．To make matters worse, some adolescents are so addicted to them that too much time and energy are wasted．
As far as I am concerned, the short message is typical of information technology, but it is a powerful tool that needs to be used with care．。
