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、D中,选出最佳选项。AWhen milk arrived on the doorstep.When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to out house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.56. Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer____.A. to show his magical power. B. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosity. D. to please his mother.57. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was fully trusted by the family.58. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.59. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He missed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.
BIf you live in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don't have to be like everyone else.You can be different. I can't give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower, but here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life.1.Do less Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day.Focus not on quantity but on quality.Pick 2 or 3 important things-or even just one important thing- and work on those first.2.Have fewer meetings Meetings are usually a big waste of time and make you rush.Try to have blocks of time with no interruptions, so you don't have to rush from one meeting to another.3.Give yourself time to get ready and get there If you're constantly rushing to appointments or other places you have to be, it's because you don't allot(分配) enough time in your schedule for preparing and for traveling.Pad your schedule to allow time for this stuff.If you think it only takes you 10 minutes to get ready for work or a date, perhaps give yourself 30 to 45 minutes so you don't have to shave in a rush or put on makeup in the car.4.Practice being comfortable with sitting doing nothing When people have to wait, they become impatient or uncomfortable.Try standing in a line and just watching and listening w people around you.It takes practice, but after a while, you’ll do it with a smile.5.Realize that if it doesn't get done, that's Ok. There's always tomorrow.And yes, I know that's a frustrating attitude for some of you who don't like laziness or living without firm deadlines, but it's also reality.The world likely won't end if you don't get that task done today.Your boss might get mad, but the company won't collapse and the life will inevitably go on. Try these things out.Life is better when unrushed. Remember the quote: If nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you.60.Which can be the best title of the passage? A.How to give out our life? B.How not to hurry in our life? C.What to do with our life? D.How to change our life?61.If you think you need 10 minutes to get ready for the date with your boyfriend, ______. A.you don't have to put on makeup B.you should arrange 10 minutes for it C.you'd better squeeze about 35 minutes out for it D.you should rush there62.According to the passage, we can know_______. A.if we follow the author's advice, our life will be better B.we should try to do all the things better on our task list C.there's always tomorrow, so we can put off the thing that must be done today till tomorrow D.even if we do as we're told by the author, we can't change anything63.The underlined word "collapse" has the similar meaning to "______". A.develop rapidly B.pay enough C.drop suddenly D.fail completelyC.Global emissions(排放)of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning jumped by the largest amount on record in 2010. Emissions rose 5.9 percent in 2010, according to an analysis released on Sunday by the Global Carbon Project. Scientists said the increase was almost certainly the largest absolute jump in any year since the Industrial Revolution. The increase solidified a trend of ever-rising emissions that will make it difficult, if not impossible, to stop severe climate change in coming decades. The burning of coal represented more than half of the growth in emissions, the analysis found. In the United States, emissions dropped by a remarkable 7 percent in the year of 2009, but rose by over 4 percent in 2010, the new analysis shows. “Each year, emissions go up, and there’s another year of negotiations, another year of indecision,” said Glen P. Peters, a researcher at the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research. “There’s no evidence that this path we’ve been following in the last 10 years is going to change.” Scientists say the rapid growth of emissions is warming the Earth and putting human welfare at long-term risk. But their increasingly urgent pleas that society find a way to limit emissions have met sharp political resistance in many countries because doing so would involve higher energy costs. The new figures show a continuation of a trend in which developing countries have surpassed (超过) the wealthy countries in their overall greenhouse emissions. In 2010, the burning of fossil fuels and the production of cement (水泥) sent more than nine billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere, the new analysis found, with 57 percent of that coming from developing countries. On the surface, the figures of recent years suggest that wealthy countries have made headway in stabilizing their emissions. But Dr. Peters pointed out that, in a sense, the rich countries have simply exported some of them. The fast rise in developing countries has been caused to a large extent by the growth of energy-intensive manufacturing industries that make goods that rich countries import. “All that has changed is the location in which the emissions are being produced,” Dr. Peters said. Many countries, as part of their response to the economic crisis, invested billions in programs designed to make their energy systems greener. While it is possible, the new numbers suggest they have had little effect so far.64.Many governments in the world resist limiting emissions because . A.it is not the best way to solve such problems B.they don’t realize the risks of carbon emissionsC.it would probably harm human welfare in the long runD.they are unwilling to accept higher energy costs65.According to Glen P. Peters, We can learn that . A.the rapid growth of emissions contributes to potential risks for humansB.rich countries actually take more responsibility for the growth of emissionsC.human beings will follow the same path of negotiations in the next 10 yearsD.some countries negotiate together yearly whether to reduce the amounts of emissions66.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A.Emissions in the United States dropped by about 7 percent in 2010.B.Developing countries will produce less emissions with economic development.C.There is a long way to go for many countries to limit the fast growth of emissions.D.Over 50 percent of the growth in emissions resulted from the burning of fossil fuels.67.The text mainly talks about . A.an analysis released by the Global Carbon Project B.the record jump in carbon dioxide emissionsC.the possible climate change in future decadesD.the main harm of greenhouse gases
DThere is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns.It is sometimes placed among “situations vacant”, although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among “situations wanted”, although it is not placed by someone looking for a job, either.What it does is to offer help in applying for a job. “Contact us before writing your application”, or “Make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae or job history”, is how it is usually expressed.The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment.It is also an indication of the growing importance of the CV, with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right. There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application.“Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams”, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school.The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview.And in those days of full employment the technique worked.The letter proved that you could write and were available for work.Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest. There is no doubt, however, that it is increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the CV.68.The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspaper column . A.informs job hunters of the opportunities available B.promises to offer useful advice to those looking for employment C.divides available jobs into various types D.informs employers of the people available for work69.Nowadays a demand for this specialized type of service has been created because . A.there is a lack of jobs available for artistic people B.there are so many top level jobs available C.there are so many people out of work D.the CV is considered to be a work of art70.In the past it was expected that first job hunters would . A.write an initial letter giving their life history B.pass some exams before applying for a job C.have no qualifications other than being able to read and write D.keep any detailed information until they obtained an interview71.The CV has become such an important document because . A.there has been an increase in the number of jobs advertised B.there has been an increase in the number of applicants with degrees C.jobs are becoming much more complicated nowadays D.the other processes of applying for jobs are more difficult to doE
Q My daughter is a junior in high school and has been on an individualized education program since fourth grade. She plans to go to college and intends to finish with a master’s degree. Her performance is fairly good, but test scores are very low. She has held many leadership and volunteer positions. We have been advised to have her write an essay about how her learning disability is a barrier that she has overcome. Will that help or hurt her chances for admission?—Deborah A First let me answer the question on low standardized test scores (ACT/ SAT). There are hundreds of colleges that are “test optional” which means students can choose not to release their test scores in the application process. Admission decisions at these colleges for students who do not submit their test scores are made based on other factors. A list of test optional colleges can be found at fairtest.org. It is important, however, to make sure that the college is the right fit academically regardless of the test optional policy. You also asked if your daughter should write about her disability and if this would hurt her chances of being admitted. Please know that colleges do not deny admission based on disability. “Disclosing” a learning disability in a personal statement within the college application can certainly help. By writing a personal statement, students can potentially demonstrate, for example, their understanding of the challenge they face. They might also demonstrate an improved grade trend in that subject area, and show interest in more complex courses in spite of this disability. More importantly, a student disclosure can show self-confidence, motivation and an understanding of the disability.—Ms. Kravis72.What do we know about Deborah’s daughter? A.She is applying for a master’s degree.B.She is very active in her high school.C.Her disability prevents her studying well.D.She has difficulty overcoming her learning disability. 73.According to Ms. Kravis, what can Deborah do about her daughter’s low test scores? A.Keep them secret B.Explain the reasons C.Stress other aspects D.Work hard to improve74.What is Ms. Kravis’ attitude toward one’s declaring his/ her learning disability? A.Supportive B.Opposed C.Doubtful D.Unconcerned75.According to the text, Ms. Kravis is probably . A.an editor B.a school leader C.a psychological D.an educational expert
