第三部分 阅读理解 (共20小题, 每小题2分, 满分40分)

第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分， 满分30分）

阅读下面四篇短文，从每题所给的A, B, C, D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

As a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just like in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods; the first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senior high school”.

In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education(which will be started when they are about 6 years old) until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system (制度), American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.

American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And students with low marks at the end of a school year are still allowed to go on to the next grade.

In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosphere (氛围) is quite different.

36. This passage mainly tells us about ________.

A. education of Chinese middle school B. American free education

C. education of American high school D. how to get into universities in America

37. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. They can be allowed to join the next grade even if they fail the school-year exam.

B. Those who get good marks can go to a good university.

C. American students can take all kinds of subjects during the high school period.

D. The time of free education in China is longer than that in America.

38. The writer of the passage tells us the truth that ________.

A .the atmosphere in high schools is not good

B. suburban high schools are good places for learning

C. none of the schools in cities are good for learning

D. all the American students want to go to university

B

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.

But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?

Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.

Don’t let other people set goal for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地); the best way to keep love is to give it wings（翅膀).

Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.

Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.

Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

39. The sentence “Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.” means that _______.

A. Nothing is possible

B. If we don’t give up, there is always hope

C. You should learn to give up

D. Although you try, nothing will change.

40. Why can’t we use time carelessly? ___________

A. Because time never returns.

B. Because time is too expensive.

C. Because we are too poor.

D. Because times will get back.

41. If you run through life so fast, you will ____________.

A. lose your own treasure that you can always carry easily

B. lose love by holding it too tightly

C. not be afraid of the difficulties

D. forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.

42. According to the passage, which is the best title? ___________

A. Nothing is impossible. B. Glass balls are easy to be broken.

C. Things you can’t do. D. Treat your life in a right way.

C

Will it matter if you don't have your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.

Opposite to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.

43. During the test, those who were tested were given ________.

A. no breakfast at all B. very rich breakfast

C. different breakfasts or none D. little food for breakfast

44. The results of the test show that ________.

A. breakfast has great effect on work and studies

B. breakfast has little to do with a person’s work

C. a person will work better if he has a simple breakfast

D. those working with brains should have much for breakfast

45. The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don’t eat breakfast, you will _________.

A. not lose weight B. lose weight

C. be healthier D. gain a lot of weight

46. Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?

A. Poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains.

B. Morning diet may cause one to get fatter.

C. Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.

D. Reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight losing.

47. According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfast, ___________.

A. he will fall ill

B. he will fail to listen to his teacher

C. his mind will work more slowly

D. he will not make progress in his study

D

Billy’s favorite color is orange. But he can’t see what orange looks like. Billy is blind.

Dear Jim,

I am writing to share with you what we think about oral English classes. We admire you very much because you are friendly to us and speak perfect English. We are eager to learn from you. However, recently we found you were speaking so fast that some of us couldn’t follow you. To make things worse, you were using some words that were not familiar to us, which made it harder for us to understand you. Finally, we hope you can correct the mistakes in our spoken English and provide more group work to help us practice speaking English.

We would appreciate it if you could make some proper adjustments

Yours truly

Li Hua
