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

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died.As a single parent,I tried to do my best to talk to him,but the more I tried,the more he pulled away.When his report card arrived during his junior year,it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year.At this rate he would never graduate.I sent him to the school adviser,and I even begged him.Nothing worked.

One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help.“Please God,I can’t do anything more for my son.I’m at the end of my rope.I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”

I was at work when I got a phone call.A man introduced himself as the headmaster.“I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.”Before he could say another word,I chuked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger.“I love my son but I just don’t know what to do.I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked.It’s out of my hands.”For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line.The headmaster seriously said,“Thank you for your time,”and hung up.

Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades.Finally, he even made the honor roll.In his fourth year,I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl.I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around.On our way home,he said,“Mum,remember that call from the headmaster last year?”I nodded.“That was me.I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said,it really hit me how much I was hurting you.That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”

If a person forgets names,places or facts—and has trouble with everyday things like reading or shopping—it may not mean you are getting old.It could be Alzheimer’s disease.So It’s important to see a doctor as soon as you can.

There is no cure for Alzheimer’s.But a drug called ARICEPT has been used by millions of people to help their symptoms（症状）.

In studies,ARICEPT has been proved to work for Alzheimer’s.It has helped people improve their memory over time.It has also helped them to keep doing everyday things on their own.

Ask your doctor if ARICEPT is right for you or your loved one.It is the Number One drug for Alzheimer’s in the world.The sooner you know it’s Alzheimer’s,the better ARICEPT can help.

ARICEPT is good for many but may not be good for everyone.Some people may experience not sleeping well,feeling very tired,or not wanting to eat.In studies,these side effects weren’t serious at all and went away over time.Some people taking ARICEPT may feel light-headed.In this case you should tell your doctors because your condition may get worse.

60.If one suffers from Alzheimer’s,______.

A.he has trouble with his memory

When a 10-year-old boy gets a first class degree in mathematics or an 8-year-old plays chess like a future grade master,they are considered as geniuses.Where does the quality of genius come from?Is it all in the genes（基因）or can any child be turned into a genius?And if parents do have a child who might become a genius in the future,what should they do?In this 30-minute film,Barry Johnson,the professor at School of Medicine,New York University will help you discover the answer.

Science/Health

Is it possible to beat high blood pressure without drugs?The answer is“yes”,according to the researchers at Johns Hopkins and three other medical centers.After a study of 800 persons with high blood pressure,they found that after 6 months,those devoted to weight loss—exercise and eating a low-salt,low-fat food—lost about 13 pounds and became fitter.Plus,35% of them dropped into the“normal”category（范畴）.This week,Dr. Alan Duckworth will tell you how these people reduce their blood pressure to a level similar to what’s achieved with Hypertension drugs.

Who is there among us who hasn’t dreamed of having his or her own small（maybe,several years later,even bigger）business,and having wonderful freedom,both from a boss and from the time clock：the freedom to make up our own rules for our work,and our own plans—arranging our own hours of work?That way work would be both painless and fun.Or,so we imagine.

Well,in fact it isn’t quite as simple as that.Yes,it is true that being the boss has its satisfactions and that you can arrange your working hours freely if you own your own small business.But in those early years of starting your own business,you shouldn’t think of a free day,not to mention flying off for a month’s vacation.It is not unusual for new business owners to work seventy or eighty hours a week,and if there is a day off,that day might need to be devoted to accounting（算账）.

But this negative picture doesn’t destroy the beautiful hopes.The possibility of getting something wonderful in return—both material and mental—continues to drive that large number of people who start up small businesses each year in the United States.

68.From the first paragraph,we know that everybody hopes______.

A.to rule others B.to be his or her own boss

C.to get a time clock D.to be free from work

69.Most new business owners have to______.

A.work more than 10 hours a day

B.devote himself to accounting

C.fly to some places in the world

D.have a day off in a week

70.The expression“negative picture”most probably means“______”.

A.a terrible experience B.a poor picture

C.limited freedom D.unpleasant situations

71.The beautiful hopes will never be destroyed because______.

A.people love beautiful things by nature

B.people have a strong desire to seek personal gains

C.small businesses make big money each year in the US

D.small businesses have advantages over big companies

E

The year is 2094.It has been announced that a comet（彗星）is heading towards the Earth.Most of it will miss our planet,but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.

On 17 July,a piece four kilometres wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere（大气层）with a massive explosion.About half of the piece is destroyed,but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound.The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed.Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole.The wall of water,a kilometre high,rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour.Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.

Before the waves reach South America,the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina.Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains.The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean.The cities of Los Angeles,San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes.Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead,but the north won’t escape for long.Because of the explosions,the sun is hidden by clouds of dust,temperatures around the world fall to almost zero.Crops are ruined.The sun won’t be seen again for many years.Wars break out as countries fight for food.A year later,no more than

10 million people remain alive.

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 piece of object in space.The dinosaurs couldn’t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out.Will we

meet the same end?

72.What is mainly described in the passage?

A.A historic discovery. B.An event of imagination.

C.A research on space. D.A scientific adventure.

73.When the first piece hits the South Atlantic,it causes______.

A.an earthquake B.damages to cities

C.an Earth explosion D.huge waves

74.Why can’t the northern half of the earth escape for long?

A.Because the land is covered with water.

B.Because the light and heat from the sun can not reach the earth.

C.Because people there can not live at the temperature of zero.

D.Because wars break out among countries.

75.By giving the example of dinosaurs,the author tries to prove______.

A.animals could not live in the cold climate

B.what happened 65 million years ago was an invented story

C.the human beings will die out in 2094

D.the Earth could be hit by other objects in space

第二节：

86. The students of Class 3 had a discussion about whether it is necessary to start learning English from childhood. Some of them think that English learning should start from childhood. As little boys and girls have a very good memory, they can learn a lot of English words by heart. This will help them lay a solid foundation for their future English learning. But others do not agree. Young children have learn Chinese pinyin at school. If they study Chinese pinyin and English at the same time, it will be very easy for them to mix them up. This will do a lot of harm not only to their Chinese learning but also to their future English learning. In short, the students have not arrived at any agreement yet.

解析：短文必须包括下列要点：

（1）一些同学认为应从儿童时期开始学习英语，另一些同学认为不应从儿童时期开始学习英语；（2）一些同学认为儿童时期记忆力好，可以记住很多单词，另一些同学认为儿童时期既要学汉语拼音又要学英语，容易发生混淆；（3）一些同学认为能为以后的英语学习打下坚实的基础，另一些同学认为会影响汉语学习和今后的英语学习。
