第四节 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和D）中选出最佳选项。
A
We think we know pandas. They are the endangered animals that live in the forests of China. They spend their days chewing bamboo. They don’t reproduce very often. But did you know that pandas quite like meat? Did you know they can climb trees and swim? Pandas are actually a lot more mysterious than people think, researchers say. Let’s find out some more about them.
1. Pandas eat meat
While ninety-nine percent of the panda’s diet is bamboo, it also eats rice, carrots, apples and sweet potatoes. Pandas sometimes eat rodents (啮齿动物), deer, insects, honey, egg and fish. In 2009, scientists studied the panda genome (基因组). They found a gene that means pandas probably can’t taste flesh. But they also found genes for digesting (消化) meat. This may explain why they don’t seek meat out that often. However, when the opportunity presents itself, pandas will happily eat meat.
2. Pandas climb and swim
Pandas are good climbers. Even panda cubs (幼兽) can climb trees. They can also swim, though they spend most of their time on land. Pandas don’t often show these two abilities. Instead, they spend most of their time resting and eating. Unlike other bear species, pandas do not hibernate (冬眠) during the winter months.
3. Pandas attack
Pandas are a passive animal. When they are frightened, they will try to escape an area immediately or they will climb the nearest tree. But when they are provoked (激怒) they can become violent, lowering their heads and staring at their opponents (对手). They may use their paws (手掌) and mouths to attack.
4. Pandas locate each other by smell
Pandas have an unusual breeding (繁殖) system. Females are fertile (可以繁殖的) for just one or two days a year. This means it’s difficult for a female panda to become pregnant(怀孕). Yet during this important period, males and females show a great talent for finding each other, so much that females appear to get pregnant in the wild at almost every opportunity. Researchers have found that this success comes down to their sense of smell. Pandas leave “scent posts” (气味布告) throughout the forest by urinating (小便) on trees. Those posts give information about their owners, including their identity, sex and age. When other pandas pass they can get an idea of which other of their species have been the same way.
66. Which of the following statements is NOT CORRECT about pandas according to the article?
A. Pandas never eat meat.
B. Baby pandas know how to swim.
C. Pandas are still endangered animals.
D. Bamboo makes up of most of pandas’ diet.
67. According to the article, pandas may attack people when they are ______.
A. afraid B. angry C. excited D. hurt
68. According to the article, pandas don’t give birth often because ______.
A. female pandas can only get pregnant on just one or two days in a year
B. male pandas have great difficulty finding female pandas
C. many pandas don’t have the right gene to give birth
D. female pandas don’t like the smell of male pandas
69. What does the article mainly tell us?
A. Why pandas are an endangered species.
B. Efforts by Chinese scientists to save endangered animals.
C. Some interesting facts people don’t know about pandas.
D. A discovery about how pandas give birth.

B
Some Chinese are travelling abroad for Spring Festival. What’s the best way to travel? Is getting out good, or is staying home for a traditional get-together still the best?
Louisagh (Beijing): People are tired of traditional family parties at Spring Festival. So they choose to travel. Personally, I prefer travelling with a tourist agency. It saves lots of troubles, such as booking rooms or looking for the right local transportation.
Tiger (Shanxi): Travelling around the world is my dream. But I would like to travel by myself. I believe only DIY (Do It Yourself) travel can help you understand a country, a culture and a people fully. Travelling with a tourist agency is easier but you lose the chance to touch and experience the culture by yourself, which makes the trip shallow.
Wenhu (Zhejiang): I like the idea of travelling abroad during the Spring Festival. This long holiday is the only time I can afford for travelling. However, I am not satisfied with the service of the tourist agencies. Their routes are not so attractive and you could be cheated. If we want to develop overseas tourism further, we must regulate the market and create special services.
Lym.ok (Shanxi): In my opinion, staying at home for a traditional get-together is still the best for Spring Festival. Since it’s often not easy for friends or family members to meet at other times, the Spring Festival holiday is a good chance for them to get closer and sweeter.
Jilia Song: Staying home is still the best for the Spring Festival. I am working far away from home. There is little chance for me to be with my family each year. (Many Chinese are in the same situation, I guess.) Spring Festival is the best chance for us to unite.
70. Why do Louisagh want to travel with a tourist agency?
A. It can save a lot of money.
B. She can make new friends.
C. The tourist agency can arrange a lot of things for her.
D. She has a friend in the tourist agency.
71. Who has the opposite ideas with each other?
A. Lym.ok and Jilia Song B. Louisagh and Tiger
C. Tiger and Wenhu D. Louisagh and Wenhu
72. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Tiger believe only DIY travel can help you understand a country, a culture and a people fully.
B. Wenhu can’t afford a holiday during the Spring Festival
C. Lym.ok thinks it’s often easy for friends or family members to meet at any moment
D. Jilia Song is working too far away from home to go back.
73. The underlined word “regulate” in the passage probably means ______________.
A. conduct strictly B. work hard to get the desired result
C. cause to obey the rules D. pay attention to

C
People often say that laughter is the best medicine. A British study suggests this is true, according to a report by AFP on September 14. A good laugh with friends can help you deal with pain.
Researchers did two experiments. The first was done in a laboratory. Volunteers wore special wristbands (腕带). Some of them were asked to watch comedies such as Mr Bean or Friends while others watched serious programs about golf or wildlife. Then the wristbands were made tighter to see how much pain the volunteers could feel.
Another test was done at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Some volunteers watched a comedy show and others watched a theatrical drama (舞台戏剧). At the same time, the volunteers had to put their backs against the wall with their legs bent (弯曲的) as if they were sitting on a chair - a very uncomfortable position. They did this before and immediately after the show. Scientists found that just 15 minutes of laughter improved people’s ability to stand pain by 10 percent. However, the serious programs and the drama had no effect on pain at all. “Using microphones (麦克风), we were able to record each of the volunteers and found that in a comedy show, they laughed for about a third of the time, and their pain tolerance (耐受性) rose,” said Robin Dunbar, head of the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Oxford.
The study found that the magic effect of laughter comes from endorphins (内啡肽). These are chemicals (化学物质) produced by the human body that make you feel less pain and can make people feel happier. Exercises such as running, swimming and yoga can all produce endorphins. Your muscles (肌肉) move in and out when you are laughing. Scientists believe that this is tiring for muscles, so we start to produce endorphins. Scientists also found that the only laughter that worked was real and relaxed and not just polite laughter.
So next time you have a headache, get together with a group of friends, watch a funny movie and laugh. You will soon feel a lot better
74. What did scientists intend to find with the experiments?
A. What the best ways are to help people stand pain.
B. Whether laughter has an effect on pain.
C. Why people love comedy shows.
D. How quickly people can recover from pain.
75. According to the article, endorphins __________.
A. can be produced when people’s muscles move
B. are produced when people feel happy
C. stop being produced when people feel pain
D. are produced when people feel pain
76. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. It was wrongly believed that laughter is the best medicine.
B. People feel less pain when they laugh heartily.
C. Polite laughter is just as effective at reducing pain.
D. Serious programs can help relieve pain.
77. When you feel pain, you are advised to ________.
A. eat a lot of junk food B. sleep on the couch for a while
C. enjoy a comedy with friends D. exercise and work your muscles

D
A great thing happened once. I was driving home to Maryland from visiting friends in Texas. I was going up the road and all of a sudden my car just would not go. It was a Sunday and cold outside. The only person I could get hold of was an old man with a tow (拖) truck .
The old man was probably around age 75 or older, and he was freezing, too. He was pretty deaf, so to talk with him, I had to scream (大声喊)! But we talked and talked. He talked my ear off, and I talked his off. I told him I had no money to fix anything seriously wrong with the car, so if the news was bad, I would have to junk it and take the bus home.
He towed my car to a small Texas town about an hour’s drive from the middle of nowhere where I had broken down. The next day, the auto (汽车) shop called and said I needed a new engine in my car. My motor had blown up! I asked if I could just leave the car there for them.
They said the old man had told them to put in a new motor and send me on my way. I told them I could not afford to pay. They said that the old man who came out to get me that Sunday owned the auto repair shop and was very rich. He said just to give me a new motor and whatever else I needed and tell me to get the car.
Now, every time I see someone in need I try to do all I can for them. I will never forget this man’s generosity (慷慨) and care for his fellow human being. I will follow your example, and I know you are up in heaven watching since I was only 18 at the time and now I’m 40, but never got to say thanks. ? Who knows, maybe the Internet has reached heaven!
78. The underlined phrase “get hold of” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced with _______.
A. find and get help from B. begin to believe C. see and stop D. happen to meet

B. Both the author and the old man were satisfied after their conversation.
C. Though he was thankful, the author never tried to contact the old man.
D. The author was sorry that he wasn’t able to say thank you to the old man.

A. old people often give others a helping hand

C. helping others makes the world a better place
D. it is easy for someone rich to offer help

All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy and happy, and to live longer.
Many people like to watch others play games. They buy tickets or turn on their TVs to watch the games. Often they get very excited when “their” player or team wins.
Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake, whether in China, Egypt or Italy! And think of people in cold countries. Think how many love to skate or skirt in Japan, Norway or Canada.
Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese wushu, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. Water skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.
People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person’s character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.
