第三部分：阅读理解
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
If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky. If you say to your children “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but…” what follows that “but” can render the apology ineffective:” I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache” leaves the person who has been inured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.
Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing(承认) yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.
Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying “I’m useless as a parent” does not commit a person to any specific improvement.
These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness, Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort(求助) to these pseudo-apologies.
But even when presented with examples of genuine(真正的) contrition(悔悟), children still need help to become a ware of the complexities(复杂性) of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology. A 12 year-old might need to be shown that raiding(搜捕) the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent’s clothes without permission is not.
56．If a mother adds “but” to an apology, ___________.
A．she doesn’t feel that she should have apologized.
B．she does not realize that the child has been hurt
C．the child may find the apology easier to accept
D．the child may feel that he owes her an apology
57．According to the author, saying “I’m sorry you’re upset” most probably means “_____”
A．You have good reason to get upset
B．I’m aware you’re upset, but I’m not to blame
C．I apologize for hurting your feelings
D．I’m at fault for making you upset
58．We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry _______.
A．the complexities involved should be ignored
B．their ages should be taken into account
C．parents need to set them a good example
D．parents should be patient and tolerant
59．It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is ________.
A．a social issue calling for immediate attention
B．not necessary among family members
C．a sign of social progress
D．not as simple as it seems
B
Visiting U.S. President George W. Bush said in Beijing Friday that both China and the United States should encourage bilateral(双边的) contacts and exchanges to promote mutual(相互) understanding.
“It’s important for our political leaders to come to China,” said Bush, who gave a speech Friday morning at Qinghua University, one of the most prestigious universities in China.
His working visit to China and discussions with Qinghua students “help promote” Sino-U.S.(中美) relations, Bush said in response to a student’s question about what he would do to promote Sino-U.S. relations.
“Many people in my country are very interested in China,” he said, adding that these Americans have learned more about China’s culture and the Chinese people.
He said that he would keep encouraging such contracts and exchanges between the two countries.
Bush said that he would describe back home what he has seen here and that China as a great nation not only has a “great history” but also an “unbelievably exciting future.”
The president said that the 2008 Olympic Games would make a significant opportunity for the rest of the world to understand China, which enables more people to come to China and feel the modernization taking place, and many more people will see it on the television.
Bush arrived in Beijing Thursday for a two-day working visit to China.
60．What the word “prestigious” in the second paragraph probably means?
A．great B．famous C．honorable D．modest
61．Which of the sentence is NOT true?
A．Bush think bilateral contacts and mutual understanding will promote Sino-U.S. relations.
B．Many Americans are interested in China.
C．Bush and the students of Qinghua discussed something about how to make China richer and stronger.
D．The 2008’s Olympic Games is a great change for China been known by the world.
62．Many Americans are interested in China because ______.
A．they want to come here to take part in the 2008 Olympic Games
B．they have learned something of China and they want to learn more
C．China has been taking place great change
D．China has a “great history” and “unbelievably exciting future”
63．The narrator(叙述者) of the passage was most probably ________.
A．a reporter B．a psychologist C．a politician D．a sociologist
C
Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge(大杂烩) of environmental claims made by household products, according to a “green labeling” study published by Consumers International Friday.
Among the report’s more outrageous(令人无法容忍的) findings-a German fertilizer(化肥) described itself as “earthworm friendly”, a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting” and a British toilet paper claimed to be environmentally friendlier”
The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International. It was funded(拨款) by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.
“While many good and useful claims are being made, it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,” said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.
The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain. Western Europe. Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.
The report focused on claims made by specific products, such as detergent(洗涤剂) insect sprays(刹虫剂) and by some garden products. It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines(指导方针) set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September, 1999.
Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague(含糊地) or too misleading to meet ISO standards.
“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing,” said report researcher Philip Page.
“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading.” he said.
The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as “environmentally friendly” and “non-polluting” cannot be verified(证实). “What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO.” said Page.
64．According to the passage, the NCC found it outrageous that _________.
A．all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standards
B．the claims made by products are often unclear or deceiving
C．consumers would believe many of the manufactures’ claim
D．few products actually prove to the environment friendly
65．As indicated in this passage, with so many good claims, the consumers ________
A．are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buy
B．are still not willing to pay more for products with green labeling
C．are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on the environment
D．still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment
66．A study was carried out by Britain’s NCC to _________.
A．find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmental standards
B．inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they buy
C．examine claims made by products against ISO standards
D．revise(修正) the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization
67．It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer International wants to ____.
A．make product labeling satisfy ISO requirements
B．see all household products meet environmental standards
C．warn consumers of the danger of so-called green products
D．verify the efforts of non-polluting products
D
A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you, Peers can have a good effect on one another. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone’s reading it.
However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way. For example, one kid in school might try to get another to cut class with him, your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him. Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that “everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind.
Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/ his mind from what she/ he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer－just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations.
It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better.
68．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Peers have a good effect B．Children give in to peer pressure
C．Peer pressure is hard to resist D．Peer pressure
69．The underlined word “shoplift” in Paragraph Three probably means “ “.
A．do some shopping B．carry goods for shops
C．steal in shops D．take the lift upstairs in shops
70．The writer will not agree that ________.
A．only children change their correct answers to incorrect ones because of peer pressure.
B．peers have an effect on one another
C．Peer pressure can be got rid of
D．Peers will believe in themselves if there are other peers who agree with them
71．The writer intends to ________ by writing the passage.
A．tell people to follow other’s opinions
B．warn people to stay away from their peers.
C．tell it is hard to walk away from pressure.
D．persuade people to do the right thing regardless of peer pressure.

I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a filed dominated(受控的) by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics(天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to
be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a
post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement－jobs, research papers, awards－was viewed through the lens of gender(性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus(相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture(培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations(挑衅): I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all. I don’t study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer. 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead. I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
72．Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?
A．She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.
B．She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination.
C．She is not good at telling stories of the kind.
D．She finds space research more important.
73．From Paragraph 2 we can infer that people would attribute(归结于) the author’s failures to
____________.
A．the very fact that she is a woman
B．her involvement in gender politics
C．her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist
D．the burden she bears in a male-dominated society
74．Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talking about her class?
A．Female students no longer have to bother about gender issues.
B．Her students’ performance has brought back her confidence.
C．Her female students can do just as well as male students.
D．More female students are pursuing science than before.
75．What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?
A．Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation.
B．Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.
C．Women can balance a career in science and having a family.
D．Women now fewer problems pursuing a science career.

Should Internet Slang Be Prohibited?
At present, Internet Slang, such as “GG”, “MM”, “Xia Mi”, has become popular among the teenagers.
There are different opinions on. Internet Slang. Some students think Internet Slang is vivid, fashionable and full of humor and intelligence. Besides, it makes chatting on the Internet quicker.
However, some other students think Internet Slang lacks depth of thought and is too simple. Besides, it is hard to understand and not accepted by most people. The words sometimes might make people confused, even resulting in misunderstanding.
Every coin has two sides. In my opinion, living in the Information Age, if we don’t know the Internet Slang, we seem to fall behind. It will be OK as long as these terms are used correctly in proper situations.
