第四部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
As we all know, getting benched(板凳) in sports is usually a bad thing. But at one school in Florida, a girl has taken a bench and turned it into something entirely different – a place to find friends. It’s called the Friendship Bench. And it’s the brainchild of a sixth grader at Palm Bay Elementary – a girl named Acacia Woodley.
Acacia’s attitude toward life might be summed up best by a qu estion she recently asked members of the Brevard County School Board –“what if we spend as much time putting the spotlight on kindness as we do on cruelty?” It’s a truth Acacias has learned to live her own life –in spite of having a lot of people would consider a handicap (残疾). She was born without a right hand. And her left hand did not form properly. But Acacia says that she has not stopped her from achieving her goals. “You need to believe in your dreams. If you don’t believe in you dreams, I can defini tely tell you that they are not going to come true.” She said.
Acacia came up with the idea for the Friendship Bench after seeing kids getting bullied (欺凌) at school. She says she has also experienced bullying herself – kids whispering about her or pickin g on her because she is different. “Some people say they feel sorry for me. I tell them not to,” she said. “I don’t care that I’m different. I like being different.”
The Friendship Bench looks like a lot of other benches. It has arm sets and a place to lean on. But there are also words painted on it –words such as “hope”, “respect”, “listen” and “dream”. Acacia put the benches together with the help from her mother and brother.
Any time a kid feels he or she needs a friend, all that kid needs to do is sit on the bench. It is then up to the other kids – or grown-ups –to fill that need. “It’s a perfect idea,” Palm Bay Elementary Principal Lori said. “It’s something we’ve needed so badly.”
The Friendship Bench has been such a success at Palm Bay Elementary that other schools are now interested in installing（安装）one too. “There’s a saying in my teacher’s classroom,” Acacia said. “It says, ‘it you can dream it, you can achieve it.’”
56. What is the function of the first sentence in Paragraph One?
A. To explain the meaning of getting benched is sports.
B. To introduce the important role “bench” plays in sports.
C. To introduce what the author wants to say in the text to us.

A. Acacia has also suffered from other kids’ bullying.
B. The kids who sit on the bench feel they need friends.
C. Grown-ups are allowed to offer their help to the one in need.
D. The Friendship Bench is different from others in the arm sets.
58. What can we infer from the passage?
A. More Friendship Benches will be installed in other schools soon.
B. Students stop bullying other schoolmates at Palm Bay Elementary.
C. The students at Palm Bay Elementary have become more friendly.
D. Acacia has become a very important figure at Palm Bay Elementary.
59. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Acacia’s New Invention
B. The Friendship Bench

Last month we reported about a study that showed eating even a little less salt could greatly help the heart. The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The scientists used a computer model to predict how just three grams less salt a day would affect heart disease in the United States.
The scientists said the results would be thirteen percent fewer heart attacks, eight percent fewer strokes（梗塞）, four percent fewer deaths and eleven percent fewer new cases of heart disease And two hundred forty billion dollars in health care savings. Researchers said it could prevent one hundred thousand heart attacks and ninety-two thousand deaths every year.
They and public health professionals in the United States are interested in a national campaign to persuade people to eat less salt. Such campaigns are already in place in Britain, Japan and Finland.
Michael Alderman is among the critics. He is a high blood pressure expert and professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. Doctor Alderman says that eating less salt results in lower blood pressure. But he says studies have not clearly shown that lowering salt means fewer heart attacks or strokes. And he says salt has other biological effects. He says calling for reduction in the national diet could have good effects, but it could also have harmful results. He says there is not enough evidence either way.
Another critic is David McCarron, a nutrition and kidney disease expert at the University of California, Davis. He and his team looked at large studies of diets in thirty-three countries. They found that most people around the world eat about the same amount of salt. Most of them eat more salt than American health officials advise. Doctor McCarron says the worldwide similarity suggests that a person’s brain might decide how much salt to eat.
Both Doctor McCarron and Doctor Alderman have connections to the Salt Institute, a trade group for the salt industry. Doctor Alderman is a member of an advisory committee. But he says he receives no money from the group. Doctor McCarron is paid for offering advice to the Salt Institute.
65. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. The argument over salt and health.
B. Less salt, fewer heart attacks.
C. National campaign for less salt.
D. Bad effects of salt.
66. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The most likely results of the study made last month.
B. The results of eating less salt.
C. The results of eating three grams less salt a day.
D. The results of eating even a little less salt could greatly help the heart.
67. Which of the following about Michael Alderman is NOT TRUE?
A. He is a high blood pressure expert.
B. He says eating less salt results in lower blood pressure.
C. He agrees lowering salt means fewer heart attacks or strokes.
D. He is a professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.
68. What does the underlined part “either way” refer to?
A. Reductions in the national diet could have good effects.
B. Reductions in the national diet could have harmful results.
C. Salt has other biological effects.
D. Both A and B.
69. Which of the following about David McCarron is NOT TRUE?
A. He is a nutrition and kidney disease expert.
B. His team found that most people around the world eat about the same amount of salt.
C. He says the worldwide similarity suggests that a person’s brain might decide how much
salt to eat.
D. He says he receives no money from the Salt Institute.

"Ok," I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice. "What's going on with you and your friend J?" J. is the leader of a group of third-graders at her camp—a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer. Now she's the one on the outs, and every day at snack time, she tells me all about it, while I offer up the unhelpful advice all summer long.
"She's fond of giving orders," Lucy complained. "She's fat," Lucy mumbled（含糊地说）into her bowl "We are going upstairs," I said, my voice cold, "We are going to discuss this." And up we went.
I'd spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day, the day we'd have to have the conversation about this horrible word. I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing（嘲笑）, but in all of my imaginings, it never once occurred to me that my daughter would be the one who used the F word-------Fat.
My daughter sat on her bed, and I sat beside her. “How would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasn't your fault?” I began. “She could stop eating so much,” Lucy mumbled, mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors and well-meaning friends and relatives have given overweight women for years．
"It's not always that easy,” I said. “Everyone's different in terms of how they treat food” Lucy looked at me, waiting for me to go on. I opened my mouth，then closed it. Should I tell her that, in teasing a woman's weight, she's joined the long, proud tradition of critics who go after any woman with whom they disagree by starting with "you're ugly" and ending with “no man would want you and there must be something wrong with any man who does"？Should I tell her I didn't cry when someone posted my picture and commented, “I'm sorr y, but aren't authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty?”
Does she need to know, now, that life isn't fair? I feel her eyes on me，waiting for an answer I don't have. Words are my tools. Stories are my job. It's possible she'll remember what I say forever, and I have no idea what to say.
So I tell her the only thing I can come up with that is absolutely true．I say to my daughter ,“I love you，and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you，But I'm disappointed in you right now. There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone. What she looks like isn't one of them.”
Lucy nods，tears on her cheeks．“I won't say that again,”she tells me，and I pull her close, pressing my nose against her hair. We are both quiet, and I don't know if I have said the right thing. So as we sit there together, shoulder to shoulder, I pray for her to be smart．I pray for her to be strong. I pray for her to find friends，work she loves, a partner who loves her, and for the world not to deprive（剥夺）her of the things that make her who she is，for her life to be easy, and for her to have the strength to handle it when it's not. And still, always，I pray that she will never struggle as I've struggled, that weight will never be her cross to bear. She may not be able to use the word in our home, but I can use it in my head．I pray that she will never get fat．
70. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 indicates that Lucy＿＿＿，
A. often makes fun of her friend J.
B. has turned against her friend J．
C. gets along well with her friend J.
D. has begun to compete with her friend J.
71. Why does the author want to discuss with Lucy?
A. Because she wants to offer some other helpful advice.
B. Because she has prepared the conversation for nine years.
C. Because she is really shocked at Lucy's rudeness．
D. Because she decides to tell Lucy a similar story of her own．
72. What does the author want to tell her daughter?
A. It is not easy to take the doctors' advice to eat less．
B. People shouldn't complain because life is unfair.
C. She herself was once一laughed at for her appearance.
D. People shouldn't be blamed for their appearance.
73. It can be inferred from the passage that
A. the author earns a living by writing stories
B. the author is a fat but good-looking woman
C. the author will stop loving her daughter for what she said
D. the author's daughter agreed with her from the very beginning
