M：And how do these people work? I mean, what equipment do they need to have at home?

W：Well, they need a monitor, a computer, a printer, and a telephone to connect with other computers.

M：Oh, I see. So what are some advantages of working at home? W：Working at home, people don't have to spend a lot of time getting to and from their work places. The rush hours, as everyone knows, are the worst times of day to travel. Millions of people have to get up early to avoid the rush hours.

M：Ah, I see. What do you think the furture will be like for home－workers?

W：Oh, let me tell you what might happen. In the futrue a British firm in London, for example, might employ clerks in Belfast, or a Paris company could have their secretaries in Spain. Most business could be done by telephone.

(Text 10)

It's a dark and cold night. The car driver hasn't had a single passenger all day. When he goes by the railway station, he sees a young man coming out with two bags in his hands.“Aha，” thinks

the car driver. “Here is a chance to make up for the rest of this bad day.” He quickly opens the door, and asks, “Where do you want to go, sir？” “To the hotel，” the young man answers. When the car driver hears that, he feels sad. The young man will give him only three dollars because the hotel is just two blocks away from the railway station. Suddenly he has an idea. He takes the passenger by a longer route.

After a long time, the car finally arrives at the hotel. “You should pay me 15 dollars，” the car driver says to the young man. “What? 15 dollars? Don't you take me as a fool? Only last week I took a car from the railway station to this hotel and I gave him 13 dollars. I know how much the trip costs, I won't pay you one dollar more than I paid the other car driver last week.”

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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse，according to the doctors.I feel there are a

number of reasons for this.

Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy，fatty foods，such as fried chicken and ice cream，at a low price.This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves.If there were fewer of these restaurants，then probably children would buy less take-away food.

There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight.I agree with this，because good eating habits begin early in life，long before children start to visit fast food shops.If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food，or are always allowed to choose what they eat，they will go for sweet and salty foods every time，and this will carry on throughout their lives.

There is a third reason for this situation.Children these days take very little exercise.They do not walk to school.When they get home，they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games.Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣)，it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

The above are the main reasons for this problem，and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active，as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits. 56．According to the text，what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?

A．Those who often take exercise. B．Those who often watch television. C．Those who often have meals at home.

D．Those who often walk to school.

[解析] 细节理解题。从倒数第二段的Not only is this an unhealthy pastime，it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.可知不健康的看电视的消遣方式会让孩子们吃更多不健康的食物，故选B。

[答案] B

57．The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because__________.

A．their parents often cook meals for them B．they are too busy to go out and play C．they can't choose what to eat

D．there are too many fast food shops around

[解析] 细节理解题。文章第二段的内容表明我们周围存在的很多卖不健康食品的商店也是造成孩子肥胖的原因之一，故选D。

[答案] D

58．The underlined word “steering” in the last sentence most probably means__________.

A．forcing C．driving

B．guiding D．moving

[解析] 词义猜测题。结合上文陈述的造成肥胖的原因，我们应告诉孩子们远离快餐店和改正不良的饮食习惯，故选guide “指导”，符合句意。

[答案] B

59．The main purpose of the text is to__________. A．tell a story

B．provide facts

C．give advice D．compare opinions

[解析] 主旨大意题。本文陈述造成肥胖的原因意在告诉青少年要远离不良的饮食和生活习惯避免发胖，故选C。

[答案] C

B

Non-smokers who are being exposed to (面临)cigarette smoke，not only experience its harm physically，but are twice more likely to suffer from major depression，compared to people who are not exposed to black clouds，a large federal study reports.

The study from the University of Miami appears to be the first US research to link secondhand smoke to mood and depression.The new study confirmed exposure to smoke by looking at cotinine levels in the blood of 3000 adults who did not smoke themselves.An additional more than 90000 non-smokers only had to report if they lived with or worked around people who smoked.Every participant was also asked to fill out questionnaires and describe their symptoms of depression.

The results of the blood test showed that individuals in both groups who have been exposed to cigarette smoke on a daily basis，were far more likely to develop symptoms of severe depression.It was found that even people who have been working in public places，where smoking was not banned，were twice more likely to suffer from the condition.According to Frank Bandiera，a public health researcher at the University of Miami School of Medicine，and a lead author of the study，there is no doubt that smokers are exposed to an increased risk of depression in comparison with non-smokers，but the question remains whether the smoking comes first or the depression.

tell you some good ways to improve your English.

Secondly，you should recite new words as often as possible because words are what make up the language.Once you grasp enough words，you can express more ideas more clearly.

Lastly，since English is a language like Chinese，we must speak it as much as possible if we are to become fluent.Don't be afraid of speaking English in public.It's also a good idea to join an English corner.You can talk with foreigners and learn about foreign cultures.Then your English will be improved rapidly.

I hope you can develop your own way to study English.Believe in yourself.

Yours， Li Ming

In general，inhaling(吸入)cigarette smoke，whether actively or passively，does not appear like a good idea when people are concerned about their health.The best individuals could do in this case is to control their personal environment by limiting the exposure to secondhand smoke.There are always good chances to live a longer and better life，and reduce the risk of developing stress，anxiety or depression.

60．Which of the following best gives the main idea of the passage?

A．Secondhand smoking causes major depression. B．Smoking can also harm those who do not smoke. C．Secondhand smoking can cause great harm too. D．Depression can do great harm to people's health.

[解析] 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知，文章不是着眼于吸二手烟的一般性危害，而是强调吸二手烟容易使人得抑郁症。

[答案] A

61．Until now we don't make sure__________. A．who are likely to suffer from major depression

B．secondhand smoke is connected with mood and depression C．whether the smoking comes first or the depression D．inhaling cigarette smoke actively does no harm to health [解析] 细节理解题。由文章第三段最后一句话可知，到底是吸烟在前还是患抑郁症在前目前尚不清楚。

[答案] C

62．In the last paragraph the author intends to__________. A．analyse the harm of smoking

B．give a suggestion C．give the final conclusion D．scold the smokers

[解析] 推理判断题。综合最后一段内容可知，作者强调无论是吸烟还是吸二手烟，都对我们及他人的健康不利，因此建议每个人应尽量使自己过一种健康长久的生活。

[答案] B

63．We can infer from the passage that__________. A．it is certain that smoking comes before depression

B．non-smokers are more likely to suffer from depression than smokers

C．smokers themselves are not likely to suffer from depression D．smokers themselves are more likely to suffer from depression [解析] 推理判断题。从文章第三段最后一句可推断出：相比不吸烟者，吸烟者本人更容易患抑郁症。

[答案] D

C

(2011年江苏)We know the famous ones—the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells—but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)? Shouldn't we know who they are?

Joan McLean thinks so.In fact，McLean，a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range，feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic.In addition to learning “who” invented “what”，however，McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions.According to

McLean，“When students learn the answers to these questions，they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”

Her students agree.One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement.“If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention，” said Tommy Lee，a senior physics major，“I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.”Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.

So，just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well，Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City.The day was cold and stormy，but Anderson still wanted to see the sights，so she jumped aboard a streetcar.Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield，she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a built-in device for cleaning the window.Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham，Alabama，Anderson started drafting out solutions.One of her ideas，a lever(操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside，became the first windshield wiper.

Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations.It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan's traffic light.It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible.Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?

64．By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”，the

author indicates that countless inventions are________.

A．beneficial，because their inventors are famous B．beneficial，though their inventors are less famous C．not useful，because their inventors are less famous D．not useful，though their inventors are famous

[解析] 推理判断题。根据第一段内容结合下文可推断，作者提到交通信号灯、雨刮器等发明，是想说无数的发明对人类十分有益，虽然它们的发明者没有太大的名气。

[答案] B

65．Professor Joan McLean's course aims to__________. A．add colour and variety to students' campus life B．inform students of the windshield wiper's invention C．carry out the requirements by Mountain University D．prepare students to try their own inventions

[解析] 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，John McLean 教授开设这门课程的目的就是让学生有足够的准备去尝试自己发明东西。

[答案] D

66．Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella was__________.

A．not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer B．inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper C．due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm D．not related to Professor Joan McLean's lectures

[解析] 细节理解题。根据第三段的内容可知，Tommy Lee 发

明的“不会折断的雨伞”就是受到了雨刮器背后的故事的激励。

(2012年全国Ⅱ)Cold weather can be hard on pets，just like it can be hard on people.Sometimes owners forget that their pets are just as used to the warm shelter(住所)as they are.Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time，thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors.This can put their pets in danger of serious illness.There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.

Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad.If you have to take them out，stay outside with them.When you're cold enough to go inside，they probably are too.If you must leave them outside for a long time，make sure they have a warm，solid shelter against the wind，thick bedding，and plenty of non-frozen water.

If left alone outside，dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter.They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere.Watch them closely when they are left outdoors，and provide them with shelter of good quality.Keep an eye on your pet's water.Sometimes owners don't realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can't get anything to drink.Animals that don't have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside，which may contain something unhealthy for them.

Diet Coke，diet Pepsi，diet pills，nofat diet，vegetable diet...We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen.We

have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us.We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically(身体上)．

Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically.On one level，we are not allowing our brains to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight，but in controlling the consumption of fatty，high-calorie，unhealthy foods.Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤) instead.All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.

On another level，diet products have greater psychological effects.Every time we have a zero-calorie drink，we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don't have to work to get results.Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain，and that life can be without resistance and struggle.

The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us，but also in the physical harm that they cause.Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分)．Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products.Diet products may not be nutritional，and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.

Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us，it is time to seriously think about buying them.Losing weight lies

in the power of minds，not in the power of medicals.Once we realize this，we will be much better able to resist diet products，and therefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.

72．From Paragraph 1，we learn that__________. A．diet products fail to bring out people's potential B．people have difficulties in choosing diet products C．diet products are misleading people D．people are fed up with diet products

[解析] 推理判断题。由第一段第三句“We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products...”可得出C。

[答案] C

73．One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to__________.

A．try out a variety of diet foods B．hesitate before they enjoy diet foods C．pay attention to their own eating habits D．watch their weight rather than their diet

[解析] 细节理解题。由第二段倒数第二句“Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale instead.”可推出D(当心他们的体重，而不是他们的饮食习惯)。

[答案] D

74．In Paragraph 3，“gain comes without pain” probably means__________.

A．losing weight is effortless B．it costs a lot to lose weight

C．diet products bring no pain D．diet products are free from calories

[解析] 细节理解题。由第三段第二句“...we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don't have to work to get results.”以及第三段最后一句可推出A。

[答案] A

75．Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products__________.

A．are over-consumed C．are short of chemicals

[答案] Dear Wang Ying，

I'm glad to have received your letter and I'd be happy to share some ways to study English with you.

Firstly，you should pay attention in every English class.It's essential that you focus on your English in class as your teachers will

tell you some good ways to improve your English.

Secondly，you should recite new words as often as possible because words are what make up the language.Once you grasp enough words，you can express more ideas more clearly.

Lastly，since English is a language like Chinese，we must speak it as much as possible if we are to become fluent.Don't be afraid of speaking English in public.It's also a good idea to join an English corner.You can talk with foreigners and learn about foreign cultures.Then your English will be improved rapidly.

I hope you can develop your own way to study English.Believe in yourself.

Yours， Li Ming
