第三部分： 阅读理解 （共两节，40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

A flock of wild ducks were flying in formation, heading south for the

winter. They formed a beautiful V in the sky, and were admired by everyone who saw them from below.

One day, Wally, one of the wild ducks in the formation, found

something on the ground. It was a barnyard with a flock of tame ducks who lived on the farm. They were waddling around (蹒跚行走) on the ground, quacking merrily and eating corn that was thrown on the ground for them every day. Wally liked what he saw. “It sure would be nice to have some of that corn,\d all this flying is very tiring. I?d like to just waddle around for a while.”

So after thinking it over a while, Wally left the formation of wild ducks,

made a sharp dive, and headed for the barnyard. He landed among the tame ducks, and began to waddle around and quack merrily. He also started eating corn. The formation of wild ducks continued their journey South, but Wally didn't care. “I?ll rejoin them when they come back North in a few months,” he said to himself.

Several months went by and sure enough, Wally looked up and spotted

the flock of wild ducks in formation, heading north. They looked beautiful up there. And Wally was tired of the barnyard. It was muddy and everywhere he waddled, there was nothing but duck doo. “It's time to leave.” said Wally.

So Wally flapped his wings hard and tried to get to the air. But he had

gained some weight from all his corn-eating, and he hadn't exercised his wings much either. He finally got off the ground, but he was flying too low and slammed into the side of the barn. He fell to the ground with a thud and said to himself, “Oh, well, I'll just wait until they fly south in a few months. Then I?ll

rejoin them and become a wild duck again.”

When the flock flew overhead once more, Wally again tried to lift

himself out of the barnyard. But he simply didn't have the strength. Every winter and every spring, he saw his wild duck friends flying overhead, and they would call out to him. But his tries to leave were all for nothing.

Eventually Wally no longer paid any attention to the wild ducks flying

overhead. He hardly even noticed them. He had, after all, become a barnyard duck.

Online Classes May Force Changes at Universities

Online classes are now taught by many top universities and offer everything from computer programing to the science of cooking. Many classes are either free or inexpensive, and are updated more quickly than regular college curricula(课程).That?s important to the millions of students who learn technical and other skills from Lynda.com. Co-founder Lynda Weinman said, “We can come to market very quickly and we can teach transient skills, so a lot of software is changing constantly and new software is being invented, and those sorts of things cannot easily make their way into college curriculum.” Instead of the professor lecturing to students, who then do research, study, and homework alone, many online classes flip that around, according to student and blogger John Haber, who said he was taking enough online classes to earn a four-year college degree in just one year.“They are watching the lectures at home as homework, recorded lectures, and when they get to class, they are having more active discussions, or interactions with the teachers or working on projects,” he explained. Experts say the new technology will have a “major impact” on colleges. And some predict future classes may be a blend of online lectures and professors helping students work through difficult problems in person. These would be welcome changes according to Georgetown University labor economist Tony Carnevale, who said school has to be less expensive and more focused on skills needed by employers. “It?s really quite clear that more and more people need post-secondary education and training and a lot of them are not getting it. And in cases where they do get it, it doesn?t lead to gainful employment. Or it leads to jobs where they don?t fully use their talents, and we don?t have enough money to buy our way out of this so the efficiency of post-secondary institutions is important now,” he said. College marketing expert Chris Cullen, of the Infinia company, said competition from online alternatives (可选择性), and concern about costs, will change universities. “The consumer demands that you tell me why, give me a reason, to believe that my money, my tuition money is best spent at your institution,\proposition?” Cullen said top schools with strong reputations (名誉) may expand in an online world, but less selective, less prestigious universities may struggle to attract students — and their tuition （学费）payments.

63. What is the main idea of Paragraph1?

A. Online classes are more important than college curricula. B. Online classes are becoming more and more popular. C. Regular college curricula have fallen behind. D. Online classes provide all kinds of classes.

64. Paragraph 2 tells us that ______.

A. students can learn the lectures before the class now B. there was no communication with teachers in the past C. professors don?t need to give lectures to students. D. online classes save your time and money

65. The underlined word “blend” in Paragraph 3 means ______.

A. activity B. method C. combination D. unit

66. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.

A. the universities will make changes in the future. B. online classes will take the place of the universities C. the universities must reduce the tuition to survive. D. students care about how their tuition is used

Can purpose keep You Alive?

In recent years, studies have suggested that having a sense of purpose helps you to live a longer and healthier life, even when looking across cultures and controlling for known predictors (预测因素) of longevity, like cigarette smoking. But these studies all had the same limitation: They focused on adults older than 60.

A recent study published in the journal Psychological Science explored whether the positive health effects of having a purpose in life also extend to younger adults. Researchers Patrick Hill and Nicholas Turiano examined the Midlife in the United States sample, a national study of health and well-being that started following over 7000 participants in 1994. The study periodically checked in with participants—who ranged in age from 20 to 75—to see how they were doing and feeling.

In order to measure purpose in life, Hill and Turiano looked at study participants? responses（反应）to the Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being（Ryff心理幸福感量化表）, which asks questions like, “Some people wander aimlessly through life, but I am not one of them.”

The researchers looked at their answers in relation to other factors, like having positive relations with others or how they generally feel—and then examined their mortality data（死亡数据） from the National Death Index.

In fact, during the 14 years their study, 569 participants died, about nine percent of the sample—and, in analyzing the data, the researchers found that having a sense of purpose was a critical factor in determining who lived, for how long. The researchers concluded that greater purpose still predicted greater longevity in adulthood, all other things being equal.

Previously, there had been uncertainty whether purpose in life allowed longevity benefits after retirement, as old goals like raising a family or career advancement fell to the wayside. But Hill and Turiano found that the benefits of purpose are not conditional on retirement status.

But perhaps most importantly, they found that maintaining a strong purpose can be as important to young adults as it is to older people. “These findings suggest the importance of establishing a direction for life as early as possible,” they write. “Likewise, research has demonstrated that increasing goal commitment during college can have effects on well-being into middle adulthood.”
