第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）
阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A，B,C，D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Amy Johnson was a very brave and energetic person. She didn’t have much in common with other girls in her school, however. She played football better than most boys, and unfortunately she made a rather bad impression on many of her teachers. Amy just didn’t act the way they thought a girl should. She studied at a university and later took a job as a typist. Although she was enthusiastic(热情的) and did her best, she made many mistakes and was poorly paid. She didn’t want to be a typist anyway -- she dreamed of becoming a pilot!
Amy moved to London, borrowed some money, and learned to fly. Nobody, however, wanted to hire a woman pilot. She decided to fly alone to Australia to prove that she could fly as well as any man. Her parents lent her money to buy an airplane.
Amy set off on May 5, 1930. Her route took her over Vienna, Constantinople, and Baghdad. She was caught in a sandstorm and had to make a sudden landing in the desert. But she landed in India six days later. She had broken the record to India by two days. Over Burma she ran into a monsoon(季风), and was able to save herself only by landing on a football field. She finally reached Australia. The plane propeller(螺旋桨) had been broken during her last landing, and had to crash-land(强着陆). But Amy had proved that she could fly -- and that a woman could do almost anything she really put her mind to.
Amy Johnson later married the pilot who had come to her rescue in Australia.
56. Amy impressed her teacher badly because ______.
A. she was not hard-working B. she didn’t study her lessons well
C. she played football better than boys D. she acted as if she were a boy
57. When Amy worked she was badly paid because ______.
A. she was a girl typist B. she didn’t put her mind into her work
C. she dreamed of being a pilot D. she failed to type well
58. It would take people _____ to fly from London to India.
A. six days B. two days C. eight days D. less than six days
59. Amy had to crash-land in Australia because ______.
A. there was no airport for her to land B. there was something wrong with the plane
C. she met with a serious storm D. she wanted to prove that she could fly better than men
B
No nation has leaped(跳) into the 20th century like Japan. For two hundred years, Japan remained closed and isolated from the rest of the world. It was suspicious(怀疑) of western ways. In 1854, Commodore Perry of the US Navy sailed into Tokyo Bay. When he showed the people inventions like the telegraph and railroad train, Japan realized what it was missing. Japan has quickly caught up with western technology. It may have even gone beyond it.
Japan has a population of over 116,000,000. The people are thickly settled on the four main islands. Since only one sixth of the land is arable, Japan relies on(依靠) imported food. To pay for the imports, Japan exports manufactured goods.
Japan builds and sells cars, motorcycles, television sets, radios, and cameras. Textiles(纺织品) and chemicals are also made. In Yokohama Harbor, ships are constructed for use by other nations.
The “head start” western nations had may be the reason for Japan’s success today. Western countries are still using machines and technology that they developed many years ago. Japan is using newer, improved methods. For example, robots are relieving factoryline workers of long, tiring jobs.
Modern technology has brought modern problems. Air and water quality reached dangerous levels in some parts of Japan in the late 1960’s. Since then Japanese government has applied stronger pollution controls.
60. The main idea of passage is that Japan ______.
A. surprised the world B. suffers from serious air and water pollution
C. leads in exporting goods D. leads in technology in the world today
61. Japan export all of the following except _______.
A. rice and wheat B. cars and buses C. radios and TVs D. ships and boats
62. Japan started to catch up with the western technology from ______.
A. the 20th century B. the year 1854 C. the late 1960’s D. 200 years ago
63. The underlined word “arable” most nearly means “_______”.
A. thickly settled B. suitable for farming C. suitable for industry D. unable to be improved
C
Nearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists(心理学家).
Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.
Prepare for yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. I think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.
If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people, Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.
No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards. But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know about you.

65. The main purpose of the article is to _____.

D
I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother’s who owned a bookshop hired me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very proud to earn my own pocket money and my parents never interfered with how I spent it, even when I was spending it foolishly. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from my mistakes, I would become more mature and responsible about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.
Like many American parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they worried a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around Europe. My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great experience for me. In the end, my father won the argument on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had my uncles, aunts and cousins spread out through the country who could provide shelter and help if I needed it.
Three years later, when he was eighteen, my younger brother decided to take a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not eager to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a fascinating year working his way on trains and ships to earn passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.
These kinds of experiences are probably rare for children in many countries, but in the US they are fairly common. Most parents start pushing their children at young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.
68. Why did the writer’s parents allow their children to do what they want?
A. Because they thought that their children would become braver.
B. Because they believed that their children would earn some pocket money.
C. Because they thought that their children would find a job more easily.
D. Because they thought that it would bring good to their children’s future.
69. What does the writer think of his brother’s travel?
A. He thought his brother gained valuable experiences during the travel.
B. He thought his brother earned a lot of money by working.
C. He thought his brother didn’t disappoint his father.
D. He thought his brother’s travel was better than his to France.
70. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The writer went to France in order to see his relatives.
B. The writer’s mother managed to prevent the children doing what she thought might be dangerous.
C. The writer’s brother gave up his university to travel through the USA and Caribbean.
D. American kids do things by themselves to make preparations for the future with the encouragement of their parents.
71. The best title of the passage probably is “_________”.
A. Part-time Jobs B. Independence C. Pocket Money D. Experiences
E
In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.
The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.
Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.
Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.
72. Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?
A. Yellow, green B. Blue, violet C. Black, blue. D. Brown, white
73. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. Sociable people like warm colors.
B. Warm colors can make people excited.
C. People who like to be with others don’t like red.
D. Where there are warm colors, people want to be active.
74. Which is the right color for different rooms?
A. Red or orange for offices. B. Orange for dining rooms.
C. Blue for bedrooms. D. Red for studies
75. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. It shows the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are cool
B. Warm colors remind people of warm days.
C. Cool colors remind people of cool days.
D. People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors.

According to a recent survey, about 25 percent of college students have a part-time job．During summer vacation, this figure will increase to 72 percent. College students are working as tutors, waiters or salesmen.
Why do they want part-time jobs？First，they want to earn money to help cover the increasingly higher college tuition. Second, they hope to be economically independent and buy whatever they want.
In my opinion, by doing part-time jobs, college students can gain some society experience and broaden their outlook. What’s more, part-time jobs can provide them with a valuable chance/opportunity to know the outside world. So it’s of great significance for college students to do part-time jobs.
