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(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

(A)

IN 1994 I wrote a letter. I stuck it in an envelope, put it away and completely forgot about it. It wasn’t until we moved into our new home in 2006 that I found it again. I opened it. This is what it said

Dear Sherri,

By the time you read this you will be 30. At the age of 18 I have so many hopes and dreams about where you’ll be now.

Right now I hope that you have traveled and seen everything you’ve always wanted to. If ev erything goes according to plan you’ll be living in Australia in a big house in a small town outside of a big city with a lot of land, a dog, your husband Gwynn and two beautiful children. Hopefully you have a career in the medical field, maybe doing research in genetics (遗传学). Gwynn will be a computer programmer who is from South Africa.

However, if things don’t go according to plan for you, I wish you all the love, happiness and joy in the world. Don’t settle for anything less than the best since that is absolutely what you deserve (应该得到).

Live long, be happy and live life to its fullest.

Love, Sherri, age 18

When I read this for the first time since writing it I was amazed. So much of what I had wanted for myself had come. I did marry. I did travel, alth ough I hadn’t seen everything I wanted to. I lived in Australia for nearly four years. I had a career in biology for about ten years. I have two lovely kids. I have not one dog

but two dogs. My husband is a computer programmer.

I suppose these were things that I really did want. Even so, nothing was easy. Traveling overseas was a big deal. Having never been away from my family, moving to Australia for several years was a huge decision. I find it fascinating how the dreams of a little girl can become a grown woman’s reality.

How about writing a letter now to yourself, 10 years from now? It’s an interesting experiment.

56. When the author found the letter in the new house, ______.

A. she couldn’t remember what she had written

B. she decided to read it on her 30th birthday

C. she didn’t realize it was a letter from herself

D. she knew it was a letter full of hope

A. A film star.

B. A biologist.

C. A doctor.

D. A computer programmer.

58. Which of the following statements about the author is TRUE?

A. She couldn’t believe that she had already realized most of her dreams.

B. She was born and brought up in Australia.

C. She decided to have two dogs when she was 18.

D. She wrote the letter 12 years ago as a joke.

59. From the article we can learn that the author ________.

A. thinks it is funny that she had these dreams when she was young

B. feels sorry that she moved to Australia

C. is a person who is easily satisfied

D. has high expectations for herself and works hard to achieve her goals

How to make daily food choices to improve your diet while helping the environment Tap the tap

What can personalities tell about us?

ARE you creative, shy, outgoing? Our personalities reveal a lot about who we are.

But what’s surprising is that our personality can also say something about our health.

That’s according to researchers at Duke University, US.

During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed (评定) their personalities in two ways by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or

friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found

that those who were careful at age 26 were in better health after 12 years.

Being careful means that people tend to have a lot of self-control, and are less

likely to smoke, the scientists said. Careful people are also more likely to have

an active lifestyle and healthy diet.

From those who were least careful, 45 percent developed health problems by the

age of 38. Such health issues included gum disease and high blood pressure. To compare,

only 18 percent of careful people went on to develop health problems.

Another positive personality was called “openness to experience”, meaning

curious and imaginative. People who have more of this personality have higher IQ scores. So they’d be more likely to know how to find medical help to prevent disease.

According to the report, if doctors assessed our personalities, it could help

doctors to find which young adults need advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle.

What’s surprising is that stress didn’t play a big part on a person’s health.

Even though stress and anxiety are usually linked to bad health.

But can a doctor who knows our personality really improve our health? Or should

doctors be kept away from knowing something so personal?

64. Which personality type may be better for our health, according to the research?

A. self-controlled.

B. Stressed.

C. Shy.

D. Careless.

65. From the passage, we learn that careful people ____.

A. are too shy to talk to strangers

B. love to ask the doctor for advice

C. are likely to have a healthy lifestyle

D. may have high blood pressure when they’re older

66. What is the main idea of the article?

A. People can change their personality type.

B. Scientists have found two different personality types.

C. Personalities have something to do with our lifestyle.

D. Personalities say something about our health.

67. Where can you probably read the article?

A. Newspaper.

B. Science fiction book.

C. Research paper.

D. Travel guide.

(D)

LAST month, I returned to Australia to attend my elder sister’s wedding. Although it was a very modern wedding, my sister kept one tradition that comes from an old English poem.

The poem says that a bride (新娘) must wear “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” It is said to bring good luck to the marriage.

Something old is something passed on from the bride’s family. It could be an heirloom (传家宝) that has been in the family for years, or a piece of her mother’s dress. This is meant to show a connection with the bride’s family.

Something new brings hope for the future of the couple. It can be the new wedding dress, or new shoes.

Something borrowed is normally an item of clothing or jewelry (珠宝). It is borrowed from one of the bride’s friends who have a happy marriage. It is believed to bring some of the friend’s luck in her marriage to the bride.

Last is something blue, which comes from another rhyme “Marry in blue, husband be true.” This means that a bride who wears blue will have a faithful (忠诚的) husband. It could be blue on her jewelry or on her shoes.

These days, most brides do not believe that wearing these items will really bring them good luck. However, they wear them anyway in recognition that traditions are important.

68. The wedding tradition the writer’s sister kept is from _____.

A. her family

B. an English poem

C. an English song

D. a TV show

69. According to the wedding tradition, the bride should _____.

A. wear her mom’s wedding dress

B. borrow some jewelry from her sister or cousin

C. get something new from her family

D. have something that is passed on from her family

70. The bride wears blue, hoping to _____.

A. get rich in the future

B. have a faithful husband

C. have a wonderful wedding ceremony

D. bring good luck to her husband

71. From the last paragraph, we can learn that _____.

A. most brides don’t wear the traditional items now

B. brides get good luck if they wear the four items

C. brides wear the four items just to follow tradition

D. brides consider it out of date to wear the four items

(E)

WHY do Chinese people love hot pot so much? As the winter months begin to settle in, I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1, 000 years, that makes it a Chinese food favorite. But it seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself.

Hot pot isn’t just designed to keep you warm durin g the cold months; it’s also a social experience. It’s a “theater” cuisine(菜肴)that turns a meal into an event. There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding ingredients to the hot pot.

Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours. For this reason, it is often considered an evening’s entertainment, and a time to spend with friends and family. However, many Westerners would be put off by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food. When we come to eat at the table in the U, we tend to have our own individual portions, although the experience is still a social one.

A similar experience to the hot pot one can be found in orean barbecue restaurants, which let you cook your own meat. This allows people to have their meat done however they want.

For most Westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook thei r own food is bizarre(古怪的). But having given hot pot a go, I find it’s now one of my favorite meals in Beijing. The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this was also part of the experience. When the chilly(刺骨的)wind is blowing outside, just grab some chopsticks, some good friends, and dig in. For me it’s like throwing a dinner party where my taste buds(味蕾)and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends.

72. According to the author, hot pot is popular in China because .

A. it has been developing for over 1, 000 years

B. it involves many unique ingredients

C. it is a fun social experience

D. it keeps people warm in winter and it is creative

73. We can conclude from the article that generally British people .

A. prefer a orean barbecue to Chinese hot pot

B. don’t like sharing food with others

C. find it interesting to cook their own food in restaurants

D. don’t mind t he smell of food staying on their clothes after dinner

74. The underlined words “put off” in the third paragraph probably mean.

A. excited

B. discouraged

C. puzzled

D. disappointed

75. What is the tone of the article?

A. Serious.

B. Longing.

C. Humorous.

D. Appreciative.

Dear Mr. Headmaster,

I am Li Yue, a student from Class One, Senior One. I am writing to draw your attention to some improper behaviour among us students littering and scribbling. It makes our school dirty and unpleasant, and does hard to the image of our school.

I always feel ashamed whenever I see this. It is clearly not appropriate for a student to litter and scribble about. I wonder if the school could place more dustbins around and set up specific rules against such behaviour. At the same time, students should be encouraged to develop good habits and better behave themselves. I believe that, with the joint efforts of both teachers and students, our school will become a more enjoyable place in the near future.

Thank you for your consideration.

Yours faithfully,

Li Yue
