第三部分: 阅读理解(共 15 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 30 分)
请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
When you throw something in the trash, soon a garbage truck will come to take in away. Then
where does it go? That depends on where you live. Different towns deal with trash in different
ways.
Recycling
A recycling truck picks up paper, cardboard, metal, plastic
and glass. These go to the recycling plant to be sorted and
made into new things.
Incinerator
An incinerator is a huge stove that burns trash to make heat
and electricity. The ash that's left gets buried in a landfill.
Trash ash can be poisonous, so it has to be stored carefully.
But it takes up a lot less room than just plain trash.
Compost
Food waste might go to a composter. In a compost heap(堆肥
堆), bacteria and worms break down dead plants and old food.
They turn it into good, rich oil. Some people keep compost
heaps in their gardens. Big commercial composters handle
waste from restaurants and farms.5
Landfills
Some trash gets buried in landfills. A landfill starts as a big
hole. Trucks dump trash. Big earth movers push it into place
and crush it down. They cover the trash with dirt to keep
scavengers(食腐动物) away. The bottom of a landfill is lined
with a barrier to keep bad things from leaking into the ground.
Pipes drain away liquid. When the landfill is full, it's covered
with earth. It might become a park or lawn.
( )56. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Recycling helps to generate energy.
B. Bacteria and worms help handle food waste.
C. The landfill is used to drive scavengers away.
D. Trash ash is carefully handled to save room.
( )57. What's the purpose of the passage?
A. To inform us of trash treatment. B. To appeal for trash classification.
C. To discuss solutions to trash pollution. D. To raise awareness of the harm of trash.
B
Your first bigscreen experience is likely to have been Disney productions—whether we are
talking about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Frozen—that have long been considered safe,
healthy choices for kids, and pictures that parents can feel they don't need to screen in advance.
When you are a big person, a movie seen in a theatre is much larger than life; when you're a
little person, it can be like a new entry opening in the universe. Those experiences matter, and
Disney knows the power—and the profit potential—of what's in its values, which helps explain the
studio's ongoing strategy of remaking its most popular animated films, often in liveaction versions.
How do you feel about director's interpretation of these movies, a combination of liveaction
filmmaking techniques, virtual reality methods and computer generated imaginary, depends
largely on how you feel about the original. The stories, even with a gently updated script, are
roughly the same. If you've seen the original, you know how the rest of them go.
In the following years, we'll also watch other Disney's remakes such as Mulan. Any children
raised by Disney films would think that this is a great time to be alive. Right?
But judging by critics' ratings of some liveaction movies, it seems that the powerful studio
has been unable to wow audiences.
So why more live actions?
The money
Let's face it: Walt Disney Pictures is all about generating more revenue. Even though it did not
manage to capture critics, it still managed to catch the audience's hearts. And that is more than
enough. After all, films are not made to entertain critics; it's all about creating an ultimate cinematic
experience for casual moviegoers. And as long as they're entertained with new interpretations of
beloved stories, why stop making liveaction films?
Inclusion
When you spend your entire childhood dancing and singing along to these characters , it's
beyond magical to see them again when you're an adult and are the same age as them. That's one of
the few magical effects of movies. Not to mention, Aladdin's South Asian cast is also a strong
statement for the world. Perhaps this is also the reason why Disney wants Mulan to have an all 6
Asian cast. Let's hope they're not the only ones and Disney is bringing more diverse stories to be
told.
Nostalgia(怀旧)
All of these Disney remakes are designed to fuel the nostalgia of boomers, Gen Xers and
millennials, and many of the moviegoers who grew up with these movies, in particular, now have
young kids of their own. Little wonder the studio is seeing big dollar signs in them.
( )58. Disney productions are parents' first choice for kids because they ________.
A. promote children's overall health B. don't need booking in advance
C. don't need a screen to enjoy them D. have been enjoying a good reputation
( )59. Your feeling about the liveaction films remade mainly relies on ________.
A. the filmmaking technology B. the popularity of the films
C. the familiarity with the story line D. the computergenerated imaginary
( )60. In the author's opinion, what could be the main reason for Disney's more live
actions?
A. It's trying its best to satisfy both critics and audience.
B. It's sparing no efforts to earn as much revenue as possible.
C. It's seeking and adding global elements to make diverse stories.
D. It's bringing back those sweet memories to its loyal aging fans.
C
Pinocchio may be just a children's fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of
Granada recently investigated the socalled “Pinocchio effect” and found that our noses don't
grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.
Dr. Emilio Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography to
tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being
untruthful, the temperature of the tips of their noses dropped up to 1.2°C, while the temperature of
their forehead increased up to 1.5℃. Scientists also found that drop in temperature at nose level
actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by the human eye.
“One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the forehead,” Dr. Gómez
Milán explained the findings. “At the same time we feel anxious,which lowers the temperature
of the nose.”
For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while being
scanned by thermal imaging technology. One of these tasks involved calling a 3 to 4 minutes call to
their parents, partner or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to devise the lie
themselves during the call, and the thermal cameras picked up this “ reverse Pinocchio effect”
caused by the fluctuation(起伏) in temperature in the nose and forehead.
Interestingly, the thermal lie detector picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test
subjects, which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector.
“ With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy and reduce the occurrence of
‘false positives’, something that is frequent with other methods such as the polygraph(测谎7
仪),” said Dr. Emilio Gómez Milán, who added that law enforcement interviewers could one day
combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.
The thermal lie detector has been the most reliable in the world, 10% more than the popular
polygraph.
( )61. Why does the author mention “Pinocchio” at the beginning?
A. To tell a fairy story. B. To warn us not to lie.
C. To introduce a research. D. To inspire us to doubt old beliefs.
( )62. According to the research, what might happen if you tell a lie?
A. Your nose gets longer. B. Your nose becomes smaller.
C. Your temperature gets higher. D. Your temperature remains stable.
( )63. What can we learn about the research?
A. Researchers conduct the study by interviewing.
B. Researchers design different lies for participants.
C. The thermal lie detector will prove a popular one.
D. The thermal lie detector may assist law enforcement.
( )64. Which might be the best title for the passage?
A. Will lie detectors tell the truth? B. Will lying make your nose longer?
C. Will lying make your temperature rise? D. Will thermal imaging technology be reliable?
D
For people moving to Australia, Price(2001) has identified certain values which may give rise
to cultural shock. Firstly, he argues that Australians place a high value on independence and
personal choice. This means that a teacher or course tutor will not tell students what to do, but will
give them a number of options and suggest they work out which one is the best in their
circumstances. It also means that they are expected to take action if something goes wrong and seek
out resources and support for themselves.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believe there is one
truth. This means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own
opinions and defend the reasons for that point of view and the evidence for it.
Price also comments that Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence
idealize the idea of treating everyone equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians
call each other by their first names. This concern with equality means that Australians are
uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are even ready to joke about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a
consequence, some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study.
Australian concepts of privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance and
relationships are only discussed with close friends. While people may volunteer such information,
they may dislike someone actually asking them unless the friendship is firmly established. Even
then, it is considered very impolite to ask someone what they earn. With older people, it is also
rude to ask how old they are, why they are not married or why they do not have children. It is also
impolite to ask people how much they have paid for something, unless there is a very good reason
for asking.
Kohls(1996) describes cultural shock as a process of change marked by four basic stages.
During the first stage, the new arrival is excited to be in a new place, so this is often referred to as
the “honeymoon” stage. Like a tourist, they are interested in all the new sights and sounds, new 8
smiles and tastes of their surroundings. They may have some problems, but usually they accept
them as just part of the novelty(新奇事物). At this point, it is the similarities that stand out, and it
seems to the newcomer that people everywhere and their way of life are very much alike. This
period of euphoria may last from a couple of weeks to a month, but the letdown is inevitable.
During the second stage, known as the “rejection” stage, the newcomer starts to experience
difficulties due to the differences between the new culture and the way they were accustomed to
living. The initial enthusiasm turns into annoyance, frustration, anger and depression and these
feelings may cause people to reject the new culture so that they notice only the things that cause
them trouble, which they then complain about. In addition, they may feel homesick, bored,
withdrawn during this period as well.
Fortunately, most people gradually learn to adapt to the new culture and move on to the third
stage, known as “adjustment”. During this stage a transition occurs to a new optimistic attitude.
As the newcomer begins to understand more of the new culture, things make more sense and the
culture seems more familiar. As a result, they begin to develop problemsolving skills, and feelings
of disorientation(迷失方向) and anxiety no longer affect them.
In Kohls's model, in the fourth stage, newcomers undergo a process of adaptation. They have
settled into the new culture, and this results in a feeling of direction and selfconfidence. They have
accepted the new food, drinks, habits and customs and may even find themselves enjoying some of
the very customs that bothered them so much previously. In addition, they realize that the new
culture has good and bad things to offer and that no way is really better than another, just different.
( )65. According to Paragraph 1, teachers may expect students to ________ in class in
Australia.
A. obey teachers' instructions B. ask for advice when necessary
C. have a discussion with partners freely D. explore possible solutions by themselves
( )66. Which of the following might most Australians agree with?
A. Be just to all, but trust none.
B. Truth never fears investigation.
C. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
D. Share joy is double joy and sorrow half sorrow.
( )67. What does the underlined word “euphoria” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. Excitement. B. Confidence. C. Frustration. D. Conflict.
( )68. According to Kohls, if an exchange student from China has managed to host a
summer Christmas event though he felt a bit awkward, he might be in Stage ________.
A. Four B. Three C. Two D. One
( )69. In which column might this article appear?
A. Intercultural Communication. B. International Education
C. Global Business. D. Leisure Guide.
( )70. According to the passage, what is the right attitude towards cultural shock?
A. When in a new culture, hold on to our own.
B. When in a new culture, accept the good things.
C. When facing difference in a new culture, accept it.
D. When feeling uncomfortable in a new culture, neglect it.

Many of today's young people have a difficult time seeing any moral dimension to their
actions. There are a number of reasons why that's true, but none more important than a failed
system of education that avoids teaching children the traditional moral values that bind Americans
together as a society and a culture. That failed approach, called “ decision making ”, was
introduced in schools 25 years ago. It tells children to decide for themselves what is right and what
is wrong. It replaced “character education”, which didn't ask children to reinvent the moral wheel,
but encouraged them to practice habits of courage, justice and selfcontrol.
Decision making curriculums pose ethical dilemmas to students, leaving them with the
impression that all morality is problematic and that all questions of right and wrong are based on
people's own ideas. Youngsters are forced to question values and virtues they've never acquired in
the first place. The assumption behind this method is that students will arrive at good moral
conclusions if they are given the chance. But the actual result is moral confusion.
This kind of moral confusion is further encouraged by values education programs that are
little more than courses in selfworth. These programs are based on the questionable assumption
that a child who feels good about himself or herself won't want to do anything wrong. But it is just
as reasonable to make an opposite assumption: namely, that a child who always believes in and
accepts himself will conclude that he or she can't do anything bad.
Such naive(无知的) selfacceptance results mostly from the nondirective, nonjudgmental, as
longasyoufeelcomfortablewithyourchoices mentality that has reached public education
for the last two and onehalf decades. Many of today's drug education, sex education and values
education courses are based on the same philosophy that helped fuel the explosion in teen drug use
and sexual activity in the first place. Youngsters are leaving school believing that matters of right
and wrong are always merely problematic. If you pass a stranger on the street and decide to murder
him because you need money—if it feels right—you go with that feeling. Clearly, murder is not
taught in our schools, but such a conclusion—just about any conclusion—can be reached and
justified using the decisionmaking method.
It is time to throw “decisionmaking” and “nonjudgmentalism” into the rubbish heap
of failed policies, and return to a proved method. Character education provides a much more
realistic approach to moral formation. It is built on an understanding that we learn morality not by
debating it but by practicing it.
Children Must Be Taught to Distinguish Right from Wrong
Problem Many young people find it (71)________ to see their actions in a moral way.
Reason
Replacing character education, the decisionmaking approach does not teach
children (72)________ morality but emphasizes subjective judgment on right
and wrong.
Consequences
●(73)________ decisionmaking curriculums were meant to give students the
chance to (74)________ good moral conclusions by themselves, they make
students (75)________ confused, due to the (76)________ of criteria on what's
right and wrong.
●Valueseducation programs (77)________ students' moral confusion. Those
with selfacceptance will make the assumption that they can't do anything 10
wrong.
●Public education based on decisionmaking approach, which (78)________ to
guide youngsters on the right track, fuels the explosion of serious (79)________
problems.
Solution An immediate shift back to character education is needed. Moral formation can
be achieved by means of (80)________.

Late Afternoon, a short film about an old woman with Alzheimer recalling some sweet
memories in her life with her daughter's care, has touched viewers’ heart and gained popularity. (32
words)
Family love is the most precious gift and supports us through thick and thin. It not only means
parents' unconditional love for their children but also children's feedback. It is the basic power of
life that we couldn't live without. Furthermore, each one of us should be grateful for the family love
we receive and learn to express our concern and care to our family members through words or
deeds to strengthen the valuable bond between us. Family love is by no means empty talk.
Therefore, I always communicate with my parents and respect their viewpoints about my
choices in life. Meanwhile, I will try to understand them better and always be there whenever they
need me.
In a word, family love is to be cherished, strengthened and repaid. (134 words)
