第三部分 阅读理解 （共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

A
A 50-year-old man in Britain has become a “mother” to eight little ducks after watching them hatch (孵化). When Ponce Risco noticed a mother duck had abandoned (抛弃) her eggs, he decided to take them under his wing. The lovely birds now think Mr. Risco is their mother and follow him everywhere. They are kept in a fence during the day but do follow Mr. Risco on his daily walk to Longton Brickcroft Nature Reserve.
Mr. Risco said, ”They think I’m their mother I think. As long as they can see me they are fine but if I go out of sight they start making a noise and huddling (蜷缩) together.” He added, “I didn’t ask for this; I was just trying to help. We were here with the eggs and they took an imprint (印记) of the first thing they saw.”
The babies’ mother and father, named Shy and Handsome by Mr. Risco, visit his garden every year. But, in April Mr. Risco realized something was wrong, when Shy abandoned her eggs. At first there was a moment of panic, but then Mr. Risco, his wife Lisa and son Lewis, bought a second-hand hatcher for the eggs. They later found Shy injured in a neighbouring garden. The family decided to try their best to look after the eggs during Shy’s recovery. Soon the eggs began to hatch, leaving the family with eight little ducks.
Mr. Risco is currently keeping the little ducks inside at night time, in a part of the house that isn’t finished yet and in the daytime they are outside in a fence. And, their real mother is still around. Mr. Risco built a floating house for Shy on his pond and she sleeps there but tends to wander
off during the day.
“Hopefully they will take off soon,” Mr. Risco concluded, “They are a bit of a pain but I would do it all over again. They have given us so much joy; they are fantastic.”
51. We can learn from the passage that_____________.
A. Mr. Risco wished to be the little ducks’ mother.
B. Mr. Risco showed great love for the little ducks.
C. Mr. Risco wanted to experience hatching eggs.
D. Mr. Risco had to stay with the little ducks all day.
52. When the little ducks lose sight of Mr. Risco, they feel ________________.
A. comfortable
B. excited
C. unsafe
D. calm
53. Why did Shy give up hatching her eggs?
A. Because she got hurt and didn’t recover.
B. Because she was busy visiting Mr. Risco’ s garden.
C. Because she realized that the family would hatch the eggs.
D. Because she wanted to leave family after laying eggs.
54. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The little ducks would be trained to take off.
B. It is actually a pain for the little ducks to leave Shy.
C. The little ducks would be accepted by their mother soon.
D. The Risco family has formed a close tie with the little ducks.
B
Popular Clone by M.E. Castle is a book that is perfect for middle school students and younger high school students. It was published on Jan. 24, 2012. Fisher Bas is a 12-year-old boy with some serous bullying(欺负) events.
Fisher is the son of two scientists and is not short of interest in science. He is smart, a bit of a dreamer and small. This has got the attention of one teacher and three bullies who have named themselves the Vikings. In his willingness to escape the rules of school, Fisher develops an idea of using his mother’s top secret experiment to make a perfect clone(克隆). He creates a clone who goes to school and bears those terrible things while he himself stays at home and enjoys video games and snack food. His
plan could have results ranging from perfect to disastrous (灾难性的).
I think Fisher is a character that most children and adults can relate themselves to on some levels. He does not try to keep away from some forms of conflict(冲突) or uncomfortable moments simply by blending (混合) into the background. He has little faith in himself, except when it comes to his scientific skills and experiments. His clone, Two, does not like Fisher. He steps up and becomes more accepted and popular than Fisher himself ever was.
I recommend Popular Clone to middle school aged students and anyone who just wants to keep away from bullies and conflict. Anyone who has ever faced a disaster in self-respect will see a little bit of themselves in Fisher. The story could really make a difference in the life of young readers, showing them that being true to themselves is important and that standing up for themselves does not rely on negative actions.
55. What can we learn about the hero of the book, Fisher Bas?
A. His dad is a professor while his mom isn’t.
B. He makes friends with three bullies.
C. He is 12 and he loses interest in science.
D. He is not brave though he is clever.
56. Fisher uses his mother’s top secret experiment to __________.
A. learn more about scientific knowledge
B. create a clone to go to school in the name of him
C. create a teacher to teach him lesson
D. learn more about the knowledge of cloning a man
57. Who become(s) more accepted and popular in school?
A. The clone, Two
B. Fisher’s teacher
C. Fisher’s parents
D. Fisher Bas
58. We can infer from the passage that ____________.
A. Fisher Bas believes in himself
B. Fisher is embarrassed as the secret is let out
C. Fisher’s mother’s experiment is successful
D. Fisher becomes the best student in his class
C

Our environment isn’t as green and beautiful as it should be. There are steel monsters blocking out the sun, blowing out dangerous smoke, and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers, cars produced harmful gas, people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet. Facing current environmental problems, people need to do their best to save the Earth.
You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets. They’re not there for a show, but for you to drop your waste. We should realize that what a little we do does count. So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window, or “accidentally” drop as you walk down the street, ask yourself how much waste you’ve been contributing(贡献) to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.
At home, the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps(水龙头) are not leaky(泄漏的), which would help greatly in scrimping. Another is to use energy-saving lights, and turn them off before you leave the rooms. It’s not only energy-saving, but also cuts down electricity costs.
Recycling is a method to make items reusable. Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process. Use your imaginations to come up with ways on things that you can use again.
Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids. Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives, in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.
With environmental protection awareness in mind, we can do what we can, for the results are to have a big effect on the planet. As long as we do our part, the world is one small step closer to being saved.
63. The underlined word “scrimping” in the third paragraph can be replaced by _______________.
A. saving
B. cleaning
C. cooking
D. drinking
64. From the fifth paragraph, we can know that _____________.
A. protecting the environment begins with small chores
B. protecting the environment should start from childhood
C. wonderful life comes from environmental protection
D. protecting the environment benefits the country and the people
65. Which of the following isn’t true?
A. The more people do their part, the greener the environment will be.
B. Selling what you don’t want any more is a kind of recycling.
C. To protect the environment may help you save some money.
D. Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution.
66. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. The Use of Garbage Dustbins
B. How to Save Water and Electricity
C. How to Save the Environment
D. Our Current Environmental Problems
E
My teacher used to talk about two kinds of happiness----“relative” and “absolute” happiness. Relative happiness is the happiness that depends on things outside ourselves: friends and family, surroundings, the size of our home or family income.
That is what we feel when a wish is achieved, or something we have wanted is got. Although the happiness such things bring to us is certainly real, the fact is that it doesn’t last forever. Things change. People change. This kind of happiness comes to ruin easily when outer conditions change.
Relative is also based on comparison with others. We may feel this kind of happiness while having a newer or bigger home than our neighbours.
Absolute happiness, on the other hand, is something we must find within. It means establishing a kind of life in which we are never beaten by tests and where just being alive is a source of great joy. This lasts no matter what we might want, or what might happen around us. A deep sense of absolute happiness is something that can only exist in the innermost reach of our life, and it cannot be destroyed by any external forces. It is endless.
This kind of satisfaction is to be found in repeated efforts and they are very important. So we can say, “Today, again, I did very well. Today, again, I had no disappointment. Today, again, I won.” The accumulated(累积的) result of such efforts is a life of great success.
What we should compare is not ourselves with others. We should compare who we are today with who we were yesterday and who we are today with who we will be tomorrow. While this may seem simple and obvious, true happiness is found in a life of continuous development. And the same, worries that could have made us painful can actually be a source of growth when we approach them with courage and knowledge.
67. Which of the following sayings can well describe relative happiness?
A. Work makes the workman.
B. Easier said than done.
C. Easy come, easy go.
D. What we do willingly is easy.
68. You will have absolute happiness when ____________.
A. you have a happy time with your neighbours
B. you feel pleased with the present simple life
C. you earn extra pay for extra work on holidays
D. you feel satisfied with a good score in an exam
69. What does the underlined word “external” mean?
A. Inner
B. Special
C. Extra
D. Outer
70. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Relative and Absolute Happiness
B. Happiness in Our Life.
C. Happiness is Easy to Get.
D. What Kind of Happiness is Important?
