第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分, 满分40分)

A
Making greener choices and encouraging healthy lifestyles can promote your health and benefit the environment. Here are some guidelines to follow:
Choose foods thoughtfully
Americans have never had such a variety or abundance of food to choose from. Besides so many choices, we now hear about our “food print”, the amount of land needed to supply one person’s nutritional needs for a year. Do we buy cherry tomatoes from Mexico or tomatoes grown locally in a hothouse? Do we get the Granny Smiths from the farmers’ market or the supermarket? Is organic produce healthier for us and the planet?
These are very complex issues that require analysis of many criteria, including the energy used in producing and transporting the food, as well as the type of soil and methods of raising the food.
Despite the complexities, there are some general guidelines you can follow. For instance, eat less meat or eat low on the food chain. Your doctor may have recommended you to restrict your consumption of red meat because of its too much fat content. Beyond that, there are environmental reasons, too. Raising food animals contributes substantially to climate change because a meat-based diet requires more land, energy and water than a plant-based one.
______________________________
Drinking plenty of fluids is significant during hot weather or when exercising. But is bottled water the way to go? You may not think so when seeing the true costs. Based on a survey, manufacturing the 30-plus billion plastic water bottles can produce more than 2. 5 million tons of carbon dioxide and use three times the amount of water in the bottle. Adding in transportation, the energy used comes to over 50 million barrels of oil equivalent (等价物). Consequently, skip the bottled water and drink tap water, both at home and at restaurants. Additionally, bottled water is not necessarily cleaner than tap.
56. In Paragraph 2 the author puts forward three questions mainly ______.
A. to prove Americans have less food to choose from
B. to show us the shopping habits of most Americans
C. to indicate Americans tend to buy food from abroad
D. to remind people to reconsider their food purchase
57. The doctor recommends eating less red meat partly because ______.
A. it contains too much fat
B. it costs a lot in transportation
C. it is too low on the food chain
D. it isn’t related to climate change
58. According to the text, which of the following is true?
A. Americans all prefer to buy cherry tomatoes from Mexico.
B. The plant-based diet is responsible for the climate change.
C. Americans have a variety of food to choose from.
D. Organic produce is the only choice for Americans.
59. Based on the last paragraph, we know that ______.
A. bottled water is cleaner than tap water
B. tap water is economical as well as eco-friendly
C. bottled water is more available than tap water
D. tap water uses one-third the cost of bottled water
60. What is the best subtitle for the last paragraph?
A. Skip bottled water, carry tap B. Drink bottled water
C. Produce plastic water bottles D. Save water resources
B
①It’s “laughably absurd” on one blog and a “magical revolution” on another. Bloggers are talking about the same device—the Apple iPad, which hit store shelves last week.
②Tech-heads hate the iPad because it has many functions—you can e-mail, browse the Web, read books—but it has no specialty. There are other devices on the market that do all its functions faster, cheaper and more efficiently. Get a Blackberry to scan e-mails or any old laptop to access the Internet.
③This first version of the iPad lacks many basic features. Tech-heads dislike the device not because of what it offers, but because of what it doesn’t offer. It doesn’t have Flash, and it doesn’t have a camera. It can’t access many of the world’s mobile applications, and it has a very restricted apple store. Based on purely technological grounds, the iPad is said to lack more than it gives.
④But if you are not a crazy tech-head, and you love the iPod and iPhone, “this device is for you,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. The iPad will take online activities truly mobile. It will allow you to read the news in bed, check a recipe in a busy kitchen or view a large-scale Google map.
⑤Perhaps most important to the masses, it is a traditional computer without trouble. There are wireless, but it’s totally mobile. You press a button and it comes on in seconds. To add a program, you just download it from the Internet. Since almost everyone uses a computer in the office or at school, the need for the traditional desktop model at home is disappearing. Slate Magazine’s Farhad Manjoo calls the iPad the perfect alternative to the home computer system.
⑥But no matter how you feel about the iPad, as a tech-head or an everyman, there’s no arguing with its appeal. Love it or hate it, the iPad sold over 600,000 units on its opening weekend, surpassing the iPhone’s record sales in 2007.
61. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Loving and hating the iPad B. An exciting invention
C. A home computer substitute D. The iPad—a wise choice
62. According to the text, which of the following is Not true of the iPad?
A. It can access the Internet. B. It is wireless but portable.
C. It can play any online video. D. It can help you scan e-mail.
63. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?
64. Farhad Manjoo’s attitude towards the iPad might be that of ______.
A. doubt B. unconcern C. sympathy D. support
65. Tech-heads dislike the iPad because of ______.
A. its after-sale services B. its high price
C. its function shortages D. its slow speed
C
Women might have a higher position at work, but at home their careers tend to give way to their husband’s job, with women most likely to quit when both are working long hours, according to a U. S. study.
Researcher Youngjoo Cha, from Cornell University, found that working women with a husband who worked 50 hours or more a week found themselves still doing most of the housework and the care giving and were more likely to end up quitting their jobs.
An analysis of 8,484 professional workers and 17,648 nonprofessionals from dual-earner (双职工) families showed that if women had a husband who worked 60 hours or more per week it increased the woman’s possibility of quitting her paid job by 42 percent. Cha said the possibility of quitting increased to 51 percent for professional women whose husbands work 60 hours or more per week, and for professional mothers the possibility they would quit their jobs jumped 112 percent.
However, it did not significantly affect a man’s possibility of quitting his job if his wife worked 60 hours or more per week, according to the study published in the American Sociological Review in April. For professional men, both parents and non-parents, the effects of a wife working long hours were negligible, according to the study.
“As long work-hours introduce conflict between work and family into many dual-earner families, couples often solve conflict in ways that prioritize husbands’ careers,” Cha, who used data from the U. S. Census Bureau, said in a statement. “This effect is magnified (突出) among workers in professional and managing occupations, where the criterion of overwork and the culture of looking after children tend to be strongest. The findings suggest that the popularity of overwork may lead many dual-earner couples to return to a traditional family pattern — breadwinning men and homemaking women. ”
66. According to the text, we know that ______.
A. men prefer work long hours B. women prefer to work outside
C. men’s careers are unimportant D. women are more likely to quit jobs
67. The underlined word “negligible” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ______.
A. unimportant B. limited C. different D. obvious
68. Which statement is true according to the text?
A. When there’s conflict between work and family, a husband will give up his work.
B. Women may still do most of the housework and care for babies or children.
C. Professional women are more likely to quit the job than professional mothers.
D. A man’s chance of quitting jobs was influenced if his wife works long hours.
69. We can infer from the last sentence that ______.
A. all the workers pay more attention to looking after children
B. overwork may have no influence on dual-earner couples
C. traditionally, men usually worked to support the family
D. most dual-earner couples will return to a traditional family pattern
70. In which column of China Daily can you find this passage?
A. Health B. Life C. Sport D. Entertainment
D
Archaeologists believe they are on the turning point of throwing light on the life of William Shakespeare — by excavating (发掘) what may have been the playwright’s dust hole.
Experts have begun excavating the ruins of New Place, Shakespeare’s former home in Stratford-upon-Avon, which was destroyed 250 years ago. Although little remains of the property, the team, led by Birmingham Archaeology, believes it has identified a dust hole used by the 16th century poet.
Small pieces of pottery (陶瓷) and broken clay pipe have already been found from a muddy hole on the site, which they claim could yield some of the most significant discoveries about Shakespeare in decades. The dig focuses on three areas of the property, which Shakespeare bought in 1597 when he returned to his home town from London having achieved fame — including the so-called knot garden at the back of the building.
Dr Diana Owen, Director of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, which owns the site, said, “We do not know if the knot garden was an area used by Shakespeare — it may have been a yard simply used by his servants. But this could actually yield some fantastic results, especially if it was an area where rubbish was thrown or the dust hole was located. ”
Kevin Colls, from Birmingham Archaeology, added, “Through documentary evidence we know Shakespeare lived at New Place but we have very little information regarding the layout (布局) of the house and gardens at this time. Through archaeological fieldwork, in particular the dig of structural remains and the recovery of artefacts, we hope to fill in the blanks. ”
Until October, visitors will be able to watch archaeologists and volunteers at work as they excavate the remains of the house, which was knocked down in 1759. Experts hope to unearth evidence to support theories that Shakespeare wrote many of his most famous works at the property.
71. This excavation intends to ______.
A. know something about the playwright’s dust hole
B. search for some treasure in the dust hole
C. explore the life of William Shakespeare
D. find something that Shakespeare lost
72. New Place was destroyed in the ______ century.
A. 15th B. 16th C. 17th D. 18th
73. Small pieces of pottery and broken clay pipe on the site ______.
A. could show Shakespeare’s luxurious life
B. could lead to important discoveries about Shakespeare
C. could show us that Shakespeare lived at New Place
D. could prove when New Place was knocked down
74. The underlined phrase “the blanks” in Paragraph 5 refers to ______.
A. the ruins of New Place
B. the smallest pieces of broken pottery
C. three areas of the property
D. the layout of the house and gardens of New Place
75. What can we learn from the text?
A. Shakespeare used to live at New Place.
B. Shakespeare became famous after 1597.
C. Only his servants used the knot garden.
D. Dr Diana Owen owns Shakespeare’s property.

第一节 阅读表达 (共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)
阅读下面的短文,并根据文章后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的词数要求)
[1]Hi, I write this letter to you, my parents, to let you know what I’m thinking.
[2]Running a business, raising three children, then raising all three into self-sufficient college graduates is difficult to do. While loving each child individually and fairly, strict house rules have also developed…going out late is difficult to accomplish. I would like to suggest setting a later curfew (宵禁), maybe midnight, or even one o’clock in the morning.
[3]While working up to twenty hours a week, my social life has been on the decline since school started. Naturally, you understand how important my friends are to me. Looking back to the summer, there have been many nights that I have wanted to go out, but if it was past nine o’clock, I would not be allowed to. You tell me to go to the party until my curfew, but if the rule continues, I will see my friends for an hour. Seeing my friends for an hour is better than nothing, but not enough to communicate with others.
[4]Gaining confidence and trust from you both are things I look forward to, and hopefully I am at an age where I can live up to your expectations. I acknowledge that you are watching over me, and don’t want your little girl to be hurt, and I appreciate that fully. But I can ____________ now that I am older.
[5]For the time and effort it has taken you to raise me, I sincerely thank you, but letting
freedom into my teenage years will be beneficial to all of us. Please feel free to talk to me whenever you have made a decision. I’ll always be around.

M: Oh, I see. I can understand that. Urn, I think you've got the flu. I suggest that you go home now. Don't go to work. And take an aspirin every four hours.
W: Uh-huh.
M: And here is the medicine. Take a teaspoonful of this in the morning and an other teaspoonful in the afternoon, and drink some water.
W: OK, thank you, doctor.
M: OK, and have a good rest.

Dear editor:
Every year, when the national college entrance exam is drawing near, there are many parents who book a room for the kids al a hotel near the school where the exam will be taken.
Lately we held a discussion about whether it is good to do so. We have different opinions. About 75% of mt classmates think it unnecessary to do so as it really costs a lot, and actually it does not matter much where to slay when we take the exam. With parents at our side, we'd feel more pressed than relaxed. Meanwhile the remaining quarter of us think it better to live in the hotel close to the school if possible. We can get ourselves to suit the environment and save the time which we would otherwise spend on the way. With the presence of our parents we will study more efficiently.
