第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每题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。

A

Have you ever wondered what you would look like if you were an Asian, Middle Eastern, black, white or Indian person? By stepping into the Human Race Machine, you can find out. When you sit inside it, the machine creates a digital image of your face. After pushing certain buttons, the machine uses various photos of people of a certain ethnic group mixed with your own facial features. From this, it can come up with an image showing how you would look as a member of a different race.

    The machine is part of a traveling retrospective (回顾展) called “Seeing and Believing: The Art of Nancy Burson.” Burson is a famous American photographer and inventor. The show of 100 photos and multimedia works was on view at the Grey Art Gallery in New York on April 20.

    “It is a strange feeling, just like stepping into someone else’s skin.” said Hathy Zajchenko, a museum visitor from Pennsylvania, US. As soon as she sat down, she tried out a range of ethnic groups. “The Middle Eastern image worked pretty well for me,” she said with a smile.

    According to Burson, the machine is a prayer for unity. It is about seeing through differences to find the things we all share in common. Burson added the database of Middle Eastern faces, both Arab and Jewish, after the terrorist attacks on September 11. “I have always wanted to allow people to see differently. I am a photographer. I am recording the unseen, because what we can not see is so much more interesting than what we can see,” Burson said.

For those who missed the show, the Human Race machine will be on view at the New York Hall of Science in the Queens district full-time as of June.

56. The Human Race Machine can ________.

A. tell you what you would look like if you were a member of another ethnic group

B. create a digital image of your face and change it

C. turn your pray into reality

D. let people step into someone else’s skin

57. The phrase “come up with” in the first paragraph means ________.

A. get nearer      B. produce       C. come out      D. change

58. When Kathy Zajchenko said that the Middle Eastern image worked well for her, she meant that ________.

A. she would like to change her face      

B. she had a strange feeling

C. she was satisfied with what she looked like as a Middle Eastern person

D. she could buy the Human Race machine

59. The underlined sentence “The machine is a pray for unity.” means ________.

A. the Human Race machine can unite the facial feather of a different ethnic group with your own

B. the machine shows that no matter what race people are, there are some things we all have in common

C. one can pray before the machine

D. if you want, the machine can change your face

60. Burson added the database of Middle Eastern faces after the September 11 attack because ________.

A. she wanted to show people what terrorists look like

B. she wanted to record what people cannot see

C. she wanted to be famous as a photographer   

D. she wanted to let people see the foreign people

B

Having one of those days — or weeks — when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster — often within a day or two.

●Walk it off

Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.

●Tune it out

Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tensions go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we have had.

●Give yourself a pep talk

Stop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper; the pessimistic (悲观的) messages you have been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don’t have a job.” Vs “I have two interviews next week.”)

●Reduce your stress

Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated but aren’t. One easy way to visualize (想象): close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way do distress is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.

●Avoid things that won’t improve your mood

  TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate your mind — something that the TV show “Neighbors” won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta, produce a calming effect in people who have a desire for them.

61. We learn form the text that it might help rid us of a bad mood to _______.

A. do nothing about it          B. take a long walk on the beach

C. do some exercises with light music   D. talk it to neighbors

62. Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?

A. It is not complicated to do so.       B. It is an area to be easily controlled.

C. It helps beat a bad mood.         D. It brings us a new technique.

63. TV may not improve your mood because ________.

A. it sometimes shows what happens around you     B. it does not energize you

C. it reminds you of eating and drinking        D. it produces a calming effect

64. This text most probably appears in ________.

A. a TV programme on physical exercises    B. a doctor’s handbook

C. an advertisement             D. a magazine

65. Which of the following can replace the underlined expression “contribute to”?

A. add to  B. lead to  C. result from  D. lie in    

C

The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are drawing near. Are you eager to enjoy watching the matches or start serving as a volunteer? First, you need to know about audience manners.

The behavior of courtside audiences is considered to be an important part of sporting culture. In 2004, after world champion Stephen Hendry lost to Ding Junhui in the China Open Snooker Championships, he complained of the noise from Chinese spectators. Perhaps you and your classmates could be written on the back of the tickets. Read your ticket carefully before you leave, remember to take away your soft drink bottles and other trash (垃圾).

During exciting games, try to control yourself. Don’t criticize the performance of players and coaches. Be careful with your words, since some may cause anger among other people in the audience.

Applause is a special form of body language you can use to communicate with players. But you should do it properly. When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them, but don’t go on for too long. After an excellent performance, applaud warmly. If someone fails, your applause will help encourage them.

Applause is not welcome, however, while a game is in progress and players need to keep their concentration. Various sports have various rules for the audience.

Enjoying artistic gymnastics requires silence. But lots of cheering can really help basketball and football players. Snooker and table tennis courtside behavior includes a ban on flash photography. Mobile phones are not allowed in shooting centers.

To be a good spectator, you should take time to learn the game-specific rules and related culture of each event.

71. What does the underlined work “spectators” mean in the second paragraph?

A. Players          B. Audiences       C. Coaches        D. Organizers

72. When can’t you leave the spot of a game?

A. When the game is going on           B. When the game is just over

C. Before the game begins              D. When the game is long over

73. What should you do during an exciting football game?

A. Control yourself                   B. Keep quiet        

C. Praise the players                  D. Cheer the players

74. When can’t you clap your hands?

A. When players first appear           

B. When an excellent performance is over

C. When someone fails

D. When a player is finishing a very difficult performance

75. What is the best title of this text?

第二节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

阅读下面文章,根据要求完成后面的5个问题。

For the next seven days, sit down each evening and write down ten things you are grateful for each day. Better still, do this with your partner or a friend. Before we practice gratitude (感恩), we are in the dark and there appears to be very little to be grateful for. Once we begin, a new light dawns, sometimes a brilliant light, a light as bright as heave itself.

To whom are you grateful in your life? Do these people know the full extent of your gratitude? Do you realize how grateful they will be when you tell them? Gratitude is more than an attitude; gratitude is a philosophy. The philosophy of gratitude begins as a hope, grows into a belief, and finally becomes an absolute knowing. It is a knowing that within any given situation—peaceful or painful, beautiful or ugly—there is always a gift waiting, wanting for you to see.

    If it appears you have nothing to be grateful for, it is because you are not allowing yourself to receive. Just because you do not receive does not mean there is nothing to receive. On the contrary, there is always         , and so there is always a reason to be grateful. Pray: “Dear God, teach me I am worthy to receive, teach me how to receive, teach me gratitude”. Gratitude is good medicine. One single serving of gratitude is often enough to open the heart, energies the body, warm the bones, make your hair curl, put a spring in your step, start you humming, and make you smile like a baby!

1. What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)

___________________________________________________________________________________________

2. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

Showing even a bit of gratitude can make everything look fine, and it will be of great benefit to you.

33. B 该题句意为“由于工作压力,许多高中老师的身体已经垮了。”break down 指身体状况逐渐恶化,

58. C  推理判断题。该题可采用排除法,其他三个选项与原文内容不符。

书面表达

One possible version:

Nowadays a lot of schools keep their students in school all day long. Students have different opinions about it. Some of the students think they enjoy less freedom and have little chance to get in touch with society. They are not able to fully develop their interests and hobbies. Therefore, they have less interest in their studies.

Some others think school is the best place to get knowledge so they should put their heart into their lessons. Some students lack the ability to control themselves. Once out of school, they may lose control of themselves and do something that will influence / affect their studies.

Personally I think, it is necessary to keep students at school. But at the same time schools should organize various activities so that students can enjoy their school life. / I don’t agree to keep students at school all day. Schools should offer students more free time to develop their personal interests.
