第三部分 阅读理解 （共40分） 第一节，阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。（共15小题，每题2分，满分30分） AThere are two kinds of people in the world. Those of the first kind are born idlers (游手好闲者), taking interest in nothing. It seems what they live for is to pass time idly. They simply don’t know why they have to do so, nor will they bother to ask. The other kind are those who take things seriously and never wish to idle away their life. But only a part of the second group are eager enough to make success. All the others fail to make enough effort to make their dreams come true. Why do things so happen to them? What are the reasons? I later find out that some people are determined. They are “igniters” that catch fire of their own, giving light and heat. But that’s not the case with others. They may be fuels but not igniters. As pieces of wood or coal, they need a match or a lighter to make them burn so that their energy can be released to give off light and heat. The majority of people need some igniter to light them. Thus igniter becomes a must for those people to succeed. Unless a suitable igniter comes their way, they will always remain idle like cold unused firewood or coal. Fortunately, such an igniter is not difficult to meet. One may find it in an instructive book, a film story, a few words of a close friend, some advice of a good teacher, a pleasant journey, or an unexpected love. Any of these, coming at the right time, can serve as an igniter to start one’s enthusiasm for learning or for a better career, to turn him from a passive state of waiting to an active state of pursuing, to lend him strength to go ahead bravely. In that case, what he has prepared for years will be quickly turned into fruitful reality. Such an igniter may turn up of itself, but most likely we have to find it ourselves. Never let a chance slide away, for it is the key to your success.61. According to the text, “________” take things seriously, but may not be able to succeed.A. idlers B. igniters C. fuels D. lighters62. According to the writer, what do most people definitely need to succeed? A. Storing a lot of energy. B. Great interest in everything.C. An igniter coming at the right time. D. Wonderful dreams about a bright future.63. The writer writes the article to _________.A. describe two kinds of people B. encourage people to find chances to succeedC. praise those who work hard D. make fun of idlers B During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another .Understandably so. Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and more. But we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little burnt out, and according to parent educator Diane Loisie ,it’s their school work which suffers the most. “After school, if they’re busy in a number of sporting events, besides they need to do their homework, then the time they’ll feel sleepy is in the classroom. Your child needs free time. So if you’re filling up that after school time, then it’s during the day that they’re going to be taking a break.” Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there’s a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away. “Relaxing time is important for children. It’s time just to do the things they want to do. A child can go up to their room, or they can play around. It doesn’t look like productive time; parents certainly wouldn’t be saying ‘Wow, are they ever learning things now?’ But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. It helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to understand the learning that’s gone on that day.” It’s hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. After all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. However, Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them. “When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, then what we’re doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gaining a skill.” So choose your children’s activities wisely. It may be one of the best things you’ve ever done for your kids… and for the family drivers!64．What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school? A．They can get bored easily about everything. B．They might have no time to do the homework. C．They might not pay much attention to learning. D．They cannot easily focus on learning during the day.65．What should we think of children’s playing around aimlessly? A．It is productive. B．It is helpful. C．It is a bad habit. D．It is a waste of time.66．Why should parents limit the activities our children attend? A．Because children have no time. B．Because children cannot learn many things. C．Because children do not have enough sleep. D．Because children cannot focus on too many activities.67．What is the main idea of this passage? A．Don’t be children’s drivers after school. B．Choose activities for your children wisely. C．Make your children learn as much as possible. D．Let children learn something from various subjects.
CFor many businessmen online education has been a dream. Now it has come true. The investment (投资) in higher education, whether financial or in terms of time, has long been impossible for many of them. But well-known educational institutions have chosen to deliver an internet-based program, and these barriers have been lifted. That is good news for people eager to improve themselves and is more attractive to employers. It is also a benefit to industry with better qualified candidates applying for jobs at every level. Having the benefits of a higher qualification without going to the university campus is attractive to many students. Campus study means greater cost, while online programs are flexible and save time, whether at home or at work. Students can achieve their degrees without causing too much disruption to their career or home life. In addition to affordable, flexible classes and greater convenience, students also have access to the online learning resources of many of the world’s top educational institutions. They can also communicate with their tutors no matter what time it is or whether either party is away for any reason. This has opened up the possibility of getting a qualification from a university or college that many students could only have dreamed of in the past. It also allows specialists to get the precise qualifications and focus on their studies. As well as seeing the increase of applicants from lower-incomes and housewives, studying online in the US is even becoming popular with younger people of college age. Employers have become increasingly welcome and positive to online qualifications as more candidates earn them, especially if they’re properly approved by the US Department of Education. US institutions have led the way in online education provision. Many top US colleges and universities offer a range of online programs that are highly respected and in every way perfectly fit for adults who need to combine their studies with a working life. 68. According to Paragraph 1, many US colleges and universities . A. have begun to lift the barriers to financial investment B. have begun to run an internet-based program C. have had a dream of offering online education D. have gained financial investment 69. Why do people choose online education? A. They can find jobs more easily than on-campus graduates. B. They can get qualifications from US Department of Education. C. They can save money and arrange their time and courses freely. D. They can invest money in different courses provided online. 70. The underlined word “disruption’’ in the third paragraph probably mean . A. dissatisfaction B. attention C. attraction D. interruption 71. Which would be a good title for the passage? A. Adult Education Online B. The Best of USA’s Online Education C. Top US Universities Offering Online EducationD. Online Education Taking the Place of Campus Education
D Sometimes you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don’t act on your impulse (冲动), but let it pass instead. You know that to take the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo (禁忌) behavior is how it can change over the years, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject. One of the newest taboos is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat it’s a topic that people talk about constantly. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat. The “in” look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, slim manager to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline and self-respect. After all, how can people permit themselves to become fat? In an image-conscious society, thin is ‘‘in”, fat is “out”. It’s not surprising that millions of people have become obsessed (着迷) with staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for people’s obsession with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of people has changed since last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, people’s bodies can easily become weak. In an effort to avoid such a fate , millions of people are spending more of their time exercising. Parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists, and many companies are providing special exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day. 72. What does the word “taboo’’ refer to in the passage? A. A crime committed on impulse. B. An unfavorable impression left on other people. C. A strong desire to do something strange or terrible. D. Behavior considered unacceptable to the society. 73. What does the underlined phrase “in” look probably mean? A. The fashionable look. B. The hidden look.C. The usual look. D. The inside look. 74. According to the passage, the common belief is that . A. fat people are full of energy B. thin people are more successful C. fat people prefer to have fat bosses D. thin people are less image-conscious 75. People pay more attention to diet and exercise because of . A. their need to kill time B. their love for sportsC. their concern for health D. their belief in hard work
第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（5小题，每小题2分，共10分）There is an English saying, “___(76)____” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. _____ (77)_____Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise.____ (78)____ If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny programme. ____(79)____ ____(80)_____They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.A. Laughter can surely last one’s life. B. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh.C. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.D.

第一节 情景作文（20分）One possible version:Last term we went to Miyun to work on the farm. We spent a whole week there. Upon our arrival, we were divided into groups of four and each group shared one room. All by ourselves, we wiped the windows, swept the floor and made the bed. After getting settled, we went to the fruit yard and got down to work at once. Some of us picked apples and others loaded baskets of apples onto the trucks. While we were there, we also helped with the corn harvest. We cut the corns off and piled them up. Never in my life had I ever seen so many corns lying about in the field. I felt it was great fun. On the last day, we gathered together in the open air to have a party, where we sang songs and danced happily. This was really an unforgettable experience for us all.
