Part 3 Reading and Writing（第三部分读写）
Ⅰ. Reading comprehension（阅读理解）（共50分）
A. Choose the best answer（根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）（12分）
Mr Testtube has found three interesting articles at the website https://www.360docs.net/doc/843735786.html, for his students.
Cambridge University’s‘doctor of chocolate’
Cambridge University is looking for someone to study the method
of preserving chocolates in hot weather. It is a sweet job for a sweet
tooth. However, the person needs to be good at math. Chocolate has
a melting point close to our body temperature. For that reason, chocolate melts easily in hot weather. You might think the advertisement from Cambridge University is ridiculous, but if there is really a‘doctor of chocolate,’he or she will
help people a lot.
One logo（商标）isn’t too expensive to print because it doesn’t need much ink, but printing a large number of logos could cost a lot.
In order to save money and energy, an American design company made small changes to some famous brands, such as Nike, McDonald’s and Starbucks, to cut the cost. The design company retained the main body of these logos, but left an empty space inside. The logos look almost the same, but in this way, the famous brands could save 39 percent of the ink during the printing process. Let’s hope other companies will take this advice. The measure will save them money and use less energy, too.

The Museum of Failure
History may be written by the winners, but we should not ignore the losers. At least, that’s what the Museum of Failure wants us to believe.
Displaying around 80 examples of failed products, businesses and ideas, the newly opened museum in Helsingborg, Sweden, celebrates modern history’s ___75___ designs. But as well as exhibiting long-forgotten failures, founder Dr. Samuel West is on a task to help us learn from our mistakes.
‘I hope that visitors take home two messages: that success is always __76___ failure, and that they should understand the importance of learning from failure,’said Dr. West. Most of all innovation（创新）projects fail, and learning is the only way to turn failure into success, according to the museum’s website.
‘The purpose of the museum is to show that innovation ___77___ failure,’Dr. West said as he introduced some of the exhibits in a video.‘If you are afraid of failure, then you can’t innovate.’His purpose of starting the museum was to encourage organizations to be better at learning from failures instead of ignoring them and pretending they ___78___ happened.
Based on Leo Tolstoy’s‘Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is
unhappy in its own way,’Dr West has created a similar ___79___ for his museum:‘All successful innovations are alike; all failed innovations fail in their own interesting and spectacular（惊人的）way.’
The museum’s items make Dr West more deeply believe that poorly-designed products have little in common with one another. One of the items, ___80___, is a frozen beef lasagne（意式千层面）made by Colgate, a company that makes toothpaste. He described this as a classic case of‘brand extension（品牌扩展）failure.’
A collection of nine objects from the museum is on tour, stopping in Miami, Berlin and Amsterdam and then will visit Los Angeles, New York, Shanghai and Tokyo in 2018 and 2019.
75. A. latest B. worst C. different D. simple
76. A. connected with B. pleased with C. known as D. ready for
77. A. develops B. refuses C. discovers D. requires
78. A. really B. always C. never D. actually
79. A. saying B. situation C. chance D. problem
80. A. as a result B. in addition C. for example D. in a word
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）（14分）
The exams were just over and the summer vacation just started. Now
Keven was free like a bird. Suddenly the doorbell rang. It was his cousin,
Max.‘Hiii!’screamed Max,‘I have come to stay here for the holidays.’
The next days were a___81___ for Kevin. After breakfast Kevin
decided to do a painting. He took out all his art supplies and started
painting beautiful scenery. When he nearly finished it, Max entered the
room with a Cola bottle. He slipped on some water and spread Cola all over the painting. It was c___82___ destroyed. The next day was even worse. Max put Kevin’s best pair of shoes into the washing machine along with the clothes.
One day Kevin was going through the newspaper when some interesting news caught his a___83___. He read it aloud‘The world famous philatelist（集邮家）Dick Brown’s stamps were stolen last week in his town. Several other stamp robberies also have taken place and police suspect that all the robberies are l___84___.’
Kevin had a nice stamp collection and it was with his friend Allan. He decided to get his stamp album back as he felt it would be much s___85___ with himself. But Kevin couldn’t go, so he decided to spend Max to get his album. Kevin gave Max the address of Allan’s and Max started. Max soon came back with the album and when Kevin checked it he found that it was not his album. It contained valuable stamps. Actually Max had gone to another house by mistake and he had knocked on the door but no one a___86___. He found the door unlocked, so he went in. He found an album which looked like Kevin’s and brought it back.
Kevin doubted that it might be the stolen album probably belonging to Dick Brown. Kevin made c___87___ with the police. A week later, Kevin and Max got reward for finding Dick Brown’s album.
‘I will never be angry at Max,’Kevin thought.
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
‘What are you saying? You lost him?’the Chief of Police said angrily.
The young police inspector（警长）in front of her was tired, very tired.
He wanted to sit down, but people did not sit down in the chief’s office.
They stood and waited, and perhaps the Chief said‘sit down’. Then they
sat down, but not before.
So the inspector stood.‘I’m sorry, Chief,’he said.‘We couldn’t find him in the trees. We looked all night, but it was dark and …’
The Chief of Police put her hands on the desk in front of her.
‘You had five men with you, Inspector, and two dogs. And you couldn’t find him!’
The inspector waited, and the Chief of Police looked at him coldly.‘What are you waiting for?’She asked,‘Go out and find him! Three months ago, this man—Alex Dinon—killed the President of our country. He is a murderer—a dangerous man. Twenty-four hours ago he escaped from prison and our new President wants him back in prison—today! Now! At once!’The inspector quickly left the room.
His name was Felix, and he was thirty-three years old. That was young for an inspector, but he was a good policeman. He liked his job, and worked long hours, but he was sometimes afraid of the Chief of Police.
Ten minutes later he was back in his office, and Adam came into his room. Adam was twenty-five, and usually worked with Felix on important jobs.
‘What did the Chief say?’Adam asked.
‘Find Dinon quickly.’Felix said,‘So, let’s begin. Have we got photographs of Dinon? And what about his family?’
Adam put some photographs on the desk.‘He’s got a wife and two young children.’he said.‘Right. I want photographs on television and in all the newspapers. Four men can watch his house and family, day and night—four hours on, and four hours off. Next, I want policemen at all the airports and …’
Telephones rang, and people came and went in the office. Felix and Adam worked on, late into the night.
88. The Chief of Police was angry with Felix, wasn’t she?
89. What were the reasons Felix and his men lost Alex Dinon?
90. Why did the police want to catch Alex Dinon?（Answer in less than 12 words.）
91. How many people were there in Alex Dinon’s family?
