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中， 选出最佳选项。
A
Do you have bright ideas? Ideas or inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encourages young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16, and there were eleven prize-winners altogether.
Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was called “Sunshine Superman”. It’s important when people study the weather to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neil’s is more accurate and this is very important for research into the way of using solar power.
You can do so much with animated cartoon. Look at Simon West’s idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isn’t a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,” said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving, horses running or a car falling over the edge of a cliff. Quite a warning!
The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn’t ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of “pupil power!”
56. The writer seems to be encouraging the British industry to .
A. help schoolchildren in their studies
B. take better care of schoolchildren
C. stop asking schoolchildren for suggestions
D. pay more attention to schoolchildren’s inventive power
57. Neil Hunt’s design would finally lead to the improvement of the way of .
A. recording direct sunshineB. knowing how strong sunlight is
C. using the energy of the sunD. recording the hours of sunshine
58. The organizers of the competition hoped the schoolchildren would .
A. become good designers for future Britain
B. win as many prizes as they could
C. design something useful for the next day
D. invent something for immediate use
59. What’s the use of Simon West’s animated road signs?
A. To add to the beauty of a city.
B. To warn people on the roads of the danger ahead.
C. To help make a car trip more exciting.
D. To warn people to be careful while working.
60. The writer holds that people seldom .
A. make their life easierB. turn their bright ideas into reality
C. have bright ideasD. think of inventing something
B
College graduation brings both the satisfaction of academic achievement and the expectation of a well-paid job. But for 6,000 graduates at San Jose State this year, there’s uncertainty as they enter one of the worst job markets in decades. Ryan Stewart has a freshly minted(新兴的) degree in religious studies, but no job prospects.
“You look at everybody’s parents and neighbors, and they’re getting laid off and don’t have jobs,” said Stewart. “Then you look at the young people just coming into the workforce... it’s just scary.”
When the class of 2003 entered college, the future never looked brighter. But in the four years they’ve been here, the world outside has changed dramatically.
“Those were the exciting times, lots of dot-com opportunities, exploding offers, students getting top dollar with lots of benefits,” said Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge of the San Jose State Career Center. “Times have changed. It’s a new market.”
Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge ought to know. She runs the San Jose State Career Center, sort of a crossroads between college and the real world. Allmen-innidge says students who do find jobs after college have done their homework.
“The typical graduate who does have a job offer started working on it two years ago. They’ve postured（定位）themselves well during the summer. They’ve had several internships(),” she said. And they’ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information systems management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines in starting salaries.
Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may just end up going back to school. “I’d like to teach college some day and that requires more schooling, which would be great in a bad economy,” he said.
To some students, a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth. For now, they can only hope its value will increase over time.
61. The expression “dot-com” in the fourth paragraph probably means “ ”.
A. a well-known websiteB. jobs related to high-technology
C. a company making dotsD. teaching on the Internet
62. What does Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge mean when she says students have “done their
homework”?
A. They have spent time preparing themselves to find a job.
B. They have gone to summer school for further studies.
C. They are good students who have finished their homework on time.
D. They have found full-time jobs as their future career before graduation.
63. The purpose of a college career center is probably to .
A. help students do their homework
B. find jobs for students while they are in school
C. prepare students to find jobs after they graduate
D. help high school students get accepted to college
64. Ryan Stewart is probably going to .
A. change his majorB. become a religious leader
C. get a job teachingD. go back to school
65. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A. Having a college degree does not provide travel discounts.
B. A college degree doesn’t promise a person a high-paid job.
C. Most students with degrees will be able to find jobs.
D. The best way to get rich is to get a college degree.
C
Anger is good for you, as long as you control it, according to new psychology research. A new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative impacts of stress and help you become healthier.
“Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger,” said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon. “The more people display anger, the lower their stress responses.”
Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6,200. They must say out loud every thirteenth number. Researchers disturbed them by asking them to count faster or ask them other questions. If they made any mistakes, they had to restart from the very beginning. Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry.
Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test. The researchers describe their reactions as fear, anger and disgust.
Other researchers recorded the students’ blood pressure,pulse and production of a high-stress hormone(荷尔蒙) called cortisol.People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes(糖尿病), heart disease, depression and extra weight gain.
When people feel fear, negative impacts increase, but when they get angry, those negatives go down, according to the study.
“Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feel some power in what otherwise is a maddening (令人发狂的) situation,” Lerner said.
Lerner previously studied Americans’ emotional response to the 9?11 terrorist attacks two months after the incident. She found people who reacted with anger were more optimistic. These people are healthier compared with those who were frightened during the event. So in maddening situations, anger is not a bad thing to have. It’s a healthier response than fear.
66. What is the story mainly about?
A. The findings of new psychology research.
B. What you can do with anger in certain cases.
C. Different effects produced by anger and fear.
D. Healthier responses in maddening situations.
67. Which statement will Jennifer Lerner agree with?
A. It’s better to be angry than to be frightened.
B. Different reactions reflect different outlooks on life.
C. Don’t control your anger and it makes you powerful.
D. Pessimistic people are generally healthier.
68. What does the underlined word “both” refer to according to the passage?
A. Fear and anger.
B. Blood pressure and pulse.
C. Blood pressure and cortisol.
D. Higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone.
69. In what ways can anger be beneficial to people?
A. By showing their optimistic side.B. By reducing their stress.
C. By reducing high blood pressure.D. By taking the place of fear.
70. The researchers irritated(激怒) the students by .
A. recording their performance secretly
B. asking them to count to 6,200 again and again
C. disturbing them and making them start all over again
D. criticizing them when they made mistakes
D
The best way to come first is to go last. An analysis of almost 50 years of competitions—including Eurovision Song Contests and world skating championships—has found that contestants are more likely to win if they are among the last to appear before the judges.
The study by an American university appears to provide scientific proof that the best man, or woman, does not always win.
It found that, on average, the last competitor to appear in the Eurovision Song Contest was more than twice as likely to win as the one who went on first.
The first rounds of figure-skating championships, for which the running order is selected at random, showed more dramatic results. The final skater had a 14 percent chance of victory, making him or her more than four times as likely to win as the first skater.
The study showed a gradual worsening of chances for competitors who appeared earlier in the running order. A contestant who appears first in a contest is two percent less likely to win than one who appears second. A contestant who appears second is two percent less likely to win than one who appears third, and so on.
The findings are published in the March issue of Acta Psychologica, a scientific journal.
Robert Hardman, a senior lecturer in psychology at London Metropolitan University who specializes in the science of decision-making, said that the results were interesting. He suggested that the effect was caused by the limitations of the human memory.
“When people make comparisons, they aren’t really able to make a lot of fine-grade discrimination. When contestants appear at the beginning of a contest, judges have little to compare them to and are perhaps wary(谨慎的) of the scores they give,” he said.
“Later on, when judges are able to compare the contestants to those that have gone before, they might give more extreme marks because they feel more confident about their judgments.”
71. Robert Hardman’s words mainly tell about his .
A. own achievement in the researchB. explanation for the findings
C. suggestion to solve the problemD. comments on the findings
72. The first skater in the first round of figure skating championships had about a percent chance of winning.
A. two B. three C. four D. five
73. According to the study, the best competitor does not always win possibly because
he/she .
A. fails to show his/her very bestB. is mistakenly put in the running order
C. meets with unfair judgesD. appears too early before the judges
74. Judging from the context, the underlined word “worsening” in the 5th paragraph should
mean .
A. decrease in numberB. increase in degree
C. reduction in possibility D. rising in quantity
75. What may be a problem with the judges according to the article?
A. They can’t remember things well enough.
B. They believe the first is seldom the best.
C. They don’t really know what is good.
D. They show favor towards the contestants they like.
第五部分　阅读表达（１０分）
All people have dreams and they obey the rule that if you can dream it, you can achieve it！Here are four goals for people to reach a perfect life in their future.
The first goal common to all of us is health and energy. We all want to be healthy and fit, to have high levels of energy and to live free of pain and illness. Today, with the incredible advance in medical science, the quality of our health and fitness, and our lifespan is largely determined by design, not by chance. People with excellent health habits are far healthier, have more energy, and live longer and better than people who have poor health habits. Remember that health is not everything, but without health everything is nothing!
The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships-intimate, personal or social-with the people we like and respect, and who in turn. Fully 85% of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships at each stage, and in each area, of your life. How well you get along with people, and how much they like and respect you, have more impact on the quality of your life than perhaps any other factor.
The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy, to do it well, and to be well paid for it. You want to be able to get and keep the job you want, to get paid more and promoted(晋升)faster. You want to earn the very most that is possible for you at each stage of your career, whatever you do.
The fourth goal we all have in common is to achieve financial independence. You want to reach the point in life where you have enough money so that you never have any financial worries. You want to be completely free of them. You want to be able to order dinner in a restaurant without referring to the price listings to determine what you want to eat.
76．What does this passage chiefly talk about? (no more than 12 words)
77．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (no more than 6 words)
78．Complete the following sentence with proper words according to the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4? (no more than 6 words)
Everybody wants to makeno matter what job he is engaged in.

80．What does the underlined word“them”in the last paragraph probably refer to? (no more than 3 words)

Good morning, everyone,
I am Li Hua from Xinhua Middle School. The topic of my speech is “Let’s pick up a book and read”.
Nowadays, with the growth of the Internet, many teenagers get addicted to online games. They usually spend long hours in front of computers in their spare time. The long-term use of computers causes many students to suffer loss of memory. Their interest in studying also drops greatly.
How can we get teenagers back to a normal life? I think it a good idea to help them form the habit of reading. On the one hand, reading can broaden teenagers’ horizons. On the other hand, reading can deepen their understanding of the events happening at home and abroad. Besides, they will get good grades in their exams.
Let’s pick up a book and read!
Thank you!
