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，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。

Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”

Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”

In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.

That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at

the bars.

“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.

One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”

For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf(because of me). She had never let me see her tears.

51. Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Mom’s attitude when

she made the child to peel potatoes? A. Cruel. B. Serious. C. Strict. D. Cold. 52. From the passage, we know monkey bars can help a child train ______. A. the skill to throw and catch things B. the speed of one’s hand movement C. the strength and skill to hang and sway D. the bodily skill to rotate round a bar

53. What does the sentence “I saw her ‘we’ll see about that’ look” imply? A. Mom believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it. B. The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up. C. Mom was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher. D. What the child had said brought Mom great attraction and curiosity.

54. The most probable conclusion we can draw after reading the passage is ______. A. the last incident was sad enough to make Mom weep B. the child’s experience reminded Mom of that of her own C. Mom could solve any problem except the one in the last paragraph D. in fact Mom suffered more in the process of the child’s growth Obesity(过度肥胖) contributes to global warming, too． Obese and overweight people require more fuel to transport them and the food they eat, and the problem will worsen as the population really swells in size, a team at the London School of Hygiene &Tropical Medicine says．“We are all becoming heavier and it is a global responsibility, Obesity is a key part of the big picture.” Edwards,one of the researchers, said in a telephone interview．

At least 400 million adults worldwide are obese(肥胖的)．The World Health Organization(WHO）projects by 2015, 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese．BMI is a calculation of height to weight, and the normal range is usually considered to be 18 to 25, with more than 25 considered overweight and above 30 obese．The researchers found that obese people require 1,680 daily calories to support normal energy and another 1,280 calories to maintain daily activities, 18 percent more than someone with a stable BMI．

Because thinner people eat less and are more likely to walk than rely on cars, a slimmer population would lower demand for fuel for transportation and agriculture, Edwards , said． This is also important because 20 percent of greenhouse gas emissions（排放物） come from agriculture, he added．The next step is quantifying(测算) how much a heavier population is contributing to climate change, higher fuel prices and food shortages, he also added．“Promotion of a normal distribution of BMI would reduce the global demand for, and thus the price of food.” Edwards and Roberts wrote in their research report．

55.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “swells” mean? A. changes. B. affects. C. decreases. D. rises.

56. According to the passage a middle -aged man whose BMI is 28, we may think he is .

A. normal in weight B. overweight C. rather thin D. obese 57. It can be inferred from the research that .

A. obese people require 2960 daily calories to maintain normal energy and daily activities B. Promotion of a normal distribution of BMI has nothing to do with food

C. thinner people eat less and are less likely to walk than rely on cars

D. a heavier population would lower demand for fuel for transportation and agriculture 58. What is the best title for this passage?

A. Obesity, a global responsibility B. How to calculate BMI

C. Obesity Contributes to Global Warming D. Obesity affects agriculture It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech．At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned．Fortunately, the moments are usually not obvious to the listeners．Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say．They hear only what the speaker does say．If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser．When such moments occur, don’t worry about them, just continue as if nothing happened.

Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that don’t really matter．If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech ——“I have a dream”, you may notice that he stumbles(结巴) his words twice during the speech．Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making．People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication．They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer．They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that express the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly．Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers’ attractiveness by making him more human.

As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being imperfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.

59. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will ___________. A. be smarter than you B. notice your mistakes C. do better than you D. know what you are talking about 60. You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because ___________. A. your attention is on the content

B. you don’t fully understand the speech

C. you don’t know what the speaker plans to say

D. you find the way of speech-making more important 61. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________. A. giving a speech is like giving a performance

B. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad

C. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made D. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be 62. What would be the best title of the passage? A. How to Be a Perfect Speaker B. How to Make a Perfect Speech C. Don’t Expect a Perfect Speech D. Don’t Expect Mistakes in a Speech 63. Which of the following statements is true?

A. If you are careful enough, you can make a perfect speech. B. Speech-making is a kind of performance.

C. Listeners are not judges and they pay more attention to the message. D. Martin Luther King is not a good speaker.

When a friend is sad about a tragedy(悲剧), it’s hard to know how to comfort(安慰) him/ her. But the worst thing you can do is say nothing. It could mean that you don’t care. You don’t have to say much. A single supportive phrase doesn’t require absolutely perfect words to break the ice. Here are some conversation starters when difficult situations have your tongue tied. 1. A friend loses his baby.

Don’t say: “Don’t worry. You’re so young. You’ll have another baby.” Do say: “I’m so sorry. I can’t begin to imagine what you are going through, but if you want to talk about it, call me anytime.”

2. A guy deserts your friend.

Don’t say: “I never liked that rat bastard(坏蛋) anyway!” ( If the couple winds up reconciling (和解), you could end up losing your friend.) Do say: “Breaking up is always hard to deal with, but
