第三部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分30分)
第一节:阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并涂在答题卡的相应位置。(共10题:每小题2分,共20分)
A
Among various programmes, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as it can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main viewers are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation(开发).
51. Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are _______.
A. more interesting B. unusually popular C. more detailed D. more formal
52. Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows____.
A. remain interested in them B. are ready to challenge them
C. remain cold to them D. are willing to get away from them
53. We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____.
A. have become the only ones of its kind
B. exploit the weaknesses in human nature
C. appear at different times of the day
D. attract different people
B
In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.
It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
54. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ______.
A. want to be as rich as their neighbors
B. want others to know or to think that they are rich
C. don’t want others to know they are rich
D. want to be happy
55. It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to ________.
A. live outside New York City B. live in New York City
C. live in apartments D. have many neighbors
56. Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is ________.
A. an important name B. a popular name in the United States
C. his neighbor’s name D. not a good name
57. According to the writer, it is ________ to keep up with the Joneses.
A. correct B. interesting C. impossible D. good
C
I was in the middle of coding(为……编程)a web page when my wife emailed me these questions: Ever wonder what it would be like to have the face, the brains, the personality and the body? What it would be like to have everyone stop when you walk in the room? What it would be like to be able to get anything or anyone you want? I stopped for a moment and thought about it because my wife wouldn’t email me this unless something had driven her to do so. I emailed her back with what I thought was a pretty good answer. Here is what I wrote her back.
Yes, I had thought many times about what it would be like to be one of the beautiful people. To be able to take your breath away when I walked into a room, or to be the life of the party as I wore only the finest clothes and sported the perfect body. But then I always came back to the realization that a lifestyle like that is so easily broken. As you get older, your body changes; as you get older, the money changes. Your body never looks the same, the clothes become more and more expensive to continue. And once you have crossed the line, suddenly you are out. The next fresh face comes in, and you are quickly forgotten.
All through growing up I was never an attractive person. I was overweight and laughed at. But that didn’t stop me from being a nice person. A good, clean, funny, helpful person. I was the person who you came to when you needed a friend after a breakup. I was the one you came to when you needed a joke to brighten up your day. And in the long run, I will be the one you remember, not the new face, or the fresh style.
In closing, I would like to say that we are, as people, have developed into looking for things that are bigger and better instead of what will last. I don’t know about you, but I will remember the friend who helped me when I was down, more than the beauty I just saw walking down the street.
58. Why does the writer regard outside looks as less important?
A. Because it won’t last long. B. Because it costs too little to remain.
C. Because others don’t value it. D. Because he thinks his wife less values it.
59. Which of the following has the same meaning as the underlined phrase “to take your breath away”?
A. To impress you very much. B. To prevent you from breathing.
C. To make you take a deep breath. D. To make you curious.
59. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Wisdom. B. Beauty or the Brains.
C. Three Questions to Answer. D. My Wife’s Questions.

Smoking is one of the worst things kids can do to their bodies. Every single day, about 4,000 kids between the ages of 12 and 17 start smoking. Most junior school students don’t smoke—only about 1 in 10 does. Most senior school students don’t smoke either—about 1 in 4 does.
But why do those who smoke ever begin? There’s more than just one simple answer. Some kids may start smoking just because they’re curious. Others may like the idea of doing something that grown-ups don’t want them to do. Still others might think smoking is a way to act or smoking makes them look like an adult.
Luckily, fewer people are starting to smoke than a few years ago. Maybe that’s because more and more people have learned that smoking can cause cancer and heart disease. Sometimes kids don’t worry about what future illness they might get.
Nicotine and other poisonous chemicals in tobacco cause lots of diseases, like heart problems and some kinds of cancer. If kids smoke, it will hurt their lungs and hearts each time they light up. It can also make it more difficult for blood to flow in the body, so smokers may feel tired. The longer they smoke, the worse the damage becomes.
The human body is smart, and it knows when it’s being poisoned. When kids try smoking for the first time, they often cough a lot and feel pain or burnt in their throats and lungs. This is their lungs’ way of trying to protect them. Also, many kids say that they feel sick to their stomachs or even throw up(呕吐).

作文:
Boys and girls,
We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can get rid of them correctly and wisely. First, some of us are upset about their body styles and looks. It’s unnecessary and it’s not important at all. We needn’t care about it. It is one’s inner beauty that matters. Second, we sometimes seem to be misunderstood by our teachers, parents and classmates. Facing this, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying to remove the misunderstanding. Some of us have fewer friends. I think being open-minded and friendly will do you good. Third, we may fall behind others, which makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage ourselves to work efficiently, full of determination. Last, some of us don’t have much pocket money, so they feel unhappy. Isn’t it strange? So long as we have some, that’s enough. And we can learn to spend money!
