A 第三部分：阅读理解（共 20 小题，每题 2 分，满分 40 分） A One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister. On this occasion, the work was made less troublesome by the presence of his girlfriend. I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting the younger children and the younger children would do a wonderful job of accompanying the older ones. Later, I discovered that complete confidence was the last thing I should have left home with. I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out. I called home with this happy news. But instead of hearing his cheerful, grateful voice on the other end of the line, all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing. It was, I should point out, after 10 p.m., when the two younger children should have been in bed, and when the two older children should have been answering the phone. “I’ll give him a lesson,” I said. I decided they must be outside. Why they might be outside at 10:30 on a wintry night I had no idea, but it was the only explanation I could come up with. Finally, in desperation, I called his girlfriend’s house. After what seemed like countless rings, his girlfriend answered. “Yes,” she said brightly, “He’s right here.” He came on the phone. I was not my usual calm, rational(理智的) self. After all, one of the rules of survival for modern parents is that you can’t trust modern teenagers. “Where are the children?” I said. He said they were with him. They had done nothing wrong. My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend’s house just for ice cream and cake. This was too good to be believed. Well, it turns out that I shouldn’t have believed it. It was only part of the truth. The following Saturday evening we were at my parents’ home, celebrating my birthday. My oldest son gave me the children’s gifts. Mounted and framed were a series of lovely color photographs of my children, dressed in their best clothes, and wearing their most wonderful expressions. They are pictures to treasure a lifetime, all taken by the father of my son’s girlfriend. 51. The author went out and left her eldest son in charge of the younger children because ________. A. she knew that his girlfriend was a good baby-sitter B. she believed he could take good care of the younger ones with the help of his girlfriend C. the older children have always loved the younger ones D. she could not find a baby-sitter on that winter night 52. Shortly after the author left home one evening, she discovered that ________. A. she shouldn’t have completely trusted her son B. her son had left home with his girlfriend C. her son had brought his girlfriend home D. she should have taken the children along with her 53. The sentence “It was only part of the truth.” (Para. 5) implies that the children not only enjoyed ice-cream but also ________. A. had their pictures taken B. had a birthday party C. framed some photographs D. showed off their best clothes 54. Which of the following possible titles best expresses the main idea of this passage? A. An Evening Out B. Modern Teenagers C. A Precious Birthday Gift D. Mother and Children 解析： 51. 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段中的前两句 One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister. On this occasion, the work was made less troublesome by the presence of his girlfriend.可知，一天晚上，作者离开让 17 岁的儿子照 看 8 岁的弟弟和 4 岁的妹妹，在他的女朋友的帮助下麻烦会少一些。所以选 B。 52. 考查细节理解。根据文章的第一段中的 Later, I discovered that complete confidence was the last thing I should have left home with.可知，由于后来，作者给大儿子打电话没人接，结果发 现在他的女朋友家。这使作者发现自己不应该带着自信离开家。故选 A。 53. 考查推测句子含义。根据文章第五段中的 My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend’s house just for ice cream and cake. it turns out that I shouldn’t have believed it.和第六 段中的 They are pictures to treasure a lifetime, all taken by the father of my son’s girlfriend.可知， 孩子们在女朋友家既吃了冰激凌和蛋糕，还照了相片。故选 A。 54. 考查文章的标题。本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了自己很自信地让大儿子照看弟弟和妹 妹的故事。虽然，他把他们带到了女朋友家，这让作者很失望，但在那里作者知道孩子们很 开心。他们既吃了冰激凌和蛋糕，还拍了照。最后，孩子们将照片送给自己做生日礼物。这 值得作者一生珍惜。所以最后突出主题。故选 C。选项 An Evening Out 晚上出游；Modern Teenagers 现代的青少年；Mother and Children 母亲和孩子。这三个选项与文章内容不符。 答案：51. B 52. A 53. A 54. C B In July 1994 Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of a comet (彗星). When the fragments (碎片) landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a comet? The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic. On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia. Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north won't escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived. Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn't survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end? 55. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the author's description of the disaster in 2094? A. The whole world becomes extremely cold B. All the coastal cities in Africa are destroyed C. The visit of the comet results in wars D. The whole mankind becomes extinct 56. Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage? A. Because they could only live in the warm climate B. Because their extinction indicates future disasters C. Because they once dominated the earth D. Because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age 57. In writing the passage, the author intends to ________. A. give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the future B. prove that humans will sooner or later be destroyed C. warn of a possible disaster in the future D. tell the historical development of the Earth 58. It can be concluded that the passage is most probably part of a(n) ________. A. article of popular science B. news report C. research paper D. horror story 解析： 55. 考查细节理解。根据文章的第四段中的 As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. 可知 A 正确；根据第三段中的 Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. 可知 B 正确；根据根据文章的第四段 中的 Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. 可知 C 正确；根据文章最后一 段中的 Will we meet the same end?可知，人类是否会灭绝没有将清楚。故四个选项中 D 不正 确。 56. 考查推理判断。根据文章的最后两句话 The dinosaurs couldn't survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end?可知，恐龙在那种寒冷的环境 下会灭绝，人类未来也可能有同样的遭遇。故选 B。 57. 考查作者的写作意图。根据文章最后一段中的 Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. 和 Will we meet the same end?可知，作者在 给人类提出未来可能发生灾难的警示。故选 C。 58. 考查文章的出处。此处 article of popular science 大众科学文章；news report 新闻报道； research paper 研究论文；horror story 恐怖故事。根据文章的大意可知，是一篇大众科学文章。 故选 A。 答案：55. D 56. B 57. C 58. A C If you hear the sound of running water the next time you call a co-worker on his or her mobile phone, don’t be surprised. Three-fourths of Americans with mobile phones say they use them in the bathroom, a new study shows. Approximately the same number of men and women have used the phone in the bathroom, according to a survey of 1,000 Americans by 11mark, an integrated marketing agency, although men seem more attached to IT in the toilet: 30 percent of men versus 20 percent of women agreed with the statement, "I don't go to the bathroom without my mobile phone." More than half the surveyed users (63 percent) said they have answered a phone call in the bathroom, and almost half (41 percent) reported initiating a phone call. That's not all, however. What goes on behind the walls of the stalls is anything a mobile phone is capable of. Sixty-seven percent said they have read a text, and 39 percent have surfed the Web. Men work more from the bathroom — 20 percent said they have participated in work-related calls, versus 13 percent of their female colleagues. As expected, Gen Y respondents are the pacesetters in the "mobile everywhere" movement, with 91 percent using their phone in the bathroom. Still, older generations are not far behind. Eighty percent of Gen X(1961-1981) reported using the phone in the bathroom, as did 65 percent of Baby Boomers and 47 percent of the Silent Generation. While online, they are doing more than just surfing; 16 percent of Gen Y report they have made an online purchase while in the bathroom. Users of iPhones are particularly likely to browse and buy in the bathroom – 22 percent have made a purchase, versus 10 percent of Americans with mobile phones overall. "The writing is on the stall," said 11mark principal Nicole Burdette. "This study confirms what we all know: that the last private place is no longer private." In the process, high-tech hygiene(卫生) is taking a hit, the survey found. While 92 percent of mobile phone users said they wash their hands after using the bathroom, only 14 percent said they wash their phones. 59. Which is the best word to replace the underlined word "initiating"? A. receiving B. experiencing C. ending D. beginning 60. According to his words, Nicole Buedette mainly wants to tell us that ________. A. no wonder mobile phones are used in the bathroom B. the bathroom is a private place for people C. it makes people have no privacy at all D. more men have used the phone in the bathroom 61. What does the last paragraph of the passage imply? A. Using phones in the bathroom has a bad effect on hygiene B. Mobile phones should not be allowed to use in the bathroom C. Most people care about the hygiene after using the bathroom D. Few people wash their phones after using the bathroom 62. The attitude of the author to the use of phones in the bathroom is ________. A. supportive B. disapproval C. subjective(主观的) D. objective(客观的) 解析： 59. 考查推测词义。根据文章的第三段可知 More than half the surveyed users (63 percent) said they have answered a phone call in the bathroom, and almost half (41 percent) reported initiating a phone call. 可知，63%的人在浴室接过手机电话，几乎 41%的人开始在浴室使用电话。故选 D。 60. 考查推理判断。根据文章倒数第二段中 Nicole Burdette 所说的"This study confirms what we all know: that the last private place is no longer private."可知，最后的私密空间也不再私密 了。可推知 C 正确。 61. 考查推理判断。根据文章最后一段中的 only 14 percent said they wash their phones.可知， 不洗手机不卫生，洗了手机，手机可能会坏。所以作者认为：不应该在卫生间使用手机。故 选 B。 62. 考查作者的写作态度。根据文章最后两段中的 This study confirms what we all know: that the last private place is no longer private.和 only 14 percent said they wash their phones.可知，作 者不赞成在卫生间使用手机。故选 B。 答案：59. D 60. C 61. B 62. B D We’ve considered several ways of paying to cut in line: hiring line standers, buying tickets from scalpers (票贩子), or purchasing line-cutting privileges directly from, say, an airline or an amusement park. Each of these deals replaces the morals of the queue (waiting your turn) with the morals of the market (paying a price for faster service). Markets and queues — paying and waiting — are two different ways of allocating things, and each is appropriate to different activities. The morals of the queue, “First come, first served, have an egalitarian (平等主义的) appeal. They tell us to ignore privilege, power, and deep pockets. The principle seems right on playgrounds and at bus stops. But the morals of the queue do not govern all occasions. If I put my house up for sale, I have no duty to accept the first offer that comes along, simply because it’s the first. Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different activities, properly governed by different standards. Sometimes standards change, and it is unclear which principle should apply. Think of the recorded message you hear, played over and over, as you wait on hold when calling your bank: “Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.” This is essential for the morals of the queue. It’s as if the company is trying to ease our impatience with fairness. But don’t take the recorded message too seriously. Today, some people’s calls are answered faster than others. Call center technology enables companies to “score” incoming calls and to give faster service to those that come from rich places. You might call this telephonic queue jumping. Of course, markets and queues are not the only ways of allocating things. Some goods we distribute by merit, others by need, still others by chance. However, the tendency of markets to replace queues, and other non-market ways of allocating goods is so common in modern life that we scarcely notice it anymore. It is striking that most of the paid queue-jumping schemes we’ve considered — at airports and amusement parks, in call centers, doctors’ offices, and national parks — are recent developments, scarcely imaginable three decades ago.

A E A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth. Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21. Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said; "We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook. "We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda. "At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. " Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛). The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. " Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop, it was amazing," he said, " We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon." The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment. Kieran said: " It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August. " The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury. For details visit www.younginspirations.com. 66. The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to________.

I can’t help thinking what it is in the computer games________ the boys. (appeal) 我禁不住想，电脑游戏中到底是什么吸引了这些男孩子。 解析： 71. 根据短语 have difficulty （trouble）（ in）doing sth 可知，此处 talk 用动名词的形式，作 介词 in 的宾语。 72. 考查以 sense 为核心的短语，make no sense 意为：讲不通。 73. 根据句意：他们被暴露在辐射中。所以用被动语态，又因为诊断就发生在过去，被暴露 又发生在诊断之前，故用过去完成时。故用 had been exposed to 。 74. 考查 unless 引导的状语从句。根据句意为被动含义，所以用(it is) updated regularly，it is 可以省略，或采用介词短语的形式，（it is）on a regular basis。 75. 这里采用了 flood 的引申义，因为 The Western markets 作主语，所以用被动语态的形式。 76. 考查短语 catch up with 及倒装句。Only 置于句首强调状语，主句采用部分倒装。所以用 can you catch up with 的形式。 77. 根据谓语动词 made 可知，前面是主语成分，充当主语的有两种形式；1.主语从句；2. 动名词短语。所以翻译为 Sun Yang’s winning three gold medals/ That Sun Yang (had) won three gold medals。 78. 根据汉语意思“要不然在丛林里就迷路了”可知用虚拟语气，表示与过去的事实相反， 用 would+完成式的形式。 79. 考查非限制性定语从句的理解，用 all of which 代替前面所有的语言，并在定语从句中作 speak 的宾语。 80. 根据前面的 what it is in the computer games 及汉语“到底是什么吸引了这些男孩子”可 知，用强调句型翻译。 答案： 71. (in) talking him into accepting 72. doesn’t make (any) sense/ makes no sense 73. had been exposed to 74. (it is) updated regularly (on a regular basis) 75. are flooded with 76. can you catch up with 77.

It is our attitude towards the pain and difficulties that determines how far we can go. Playing the violin was once my dream, but for lack of practice and playing skills. I did very badly in the beginning, so I was often teased by other students. Gradually, I lost confidence in myself and I wanted to give up the violin. But my teacher told me: “Nothing is easy. Pain and struggle are the vital parts of our life.” Hearing that, I pushed myself harder to practise it. Little by little, I made progress. Eventually I won the first place in a violin competition. For the first time, I tasted the flavor of success after my struggle. From my experience I’ve learnt the lesson that it is pain and struggle that lead us to success. Whatever difficulties we are faced with, as long as we don’t give up and learn from our mistakes, we are sure to succeed.
