PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION (30 marks)

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

Every evening, 15-year-old Rashida returns home from school, changes out of her uniform, and rushes to a neighboring farm to help her mother harvest vegetables. Her father is disabled, so the modest profit the two of them earn must cover food, clothing and other necessities for all seven children and their parents. Despite having precious little time to study, Rashida is one of the top students at her junior secondary school. But with so much responsibility on her small shoulders, she admits that it is sometimes hard for her to imagine a more promising future.

Last year, Rashida was invited to join 155 other girls at Camfed Ghana’s first Girls’ Career Camp, a program designed to inspire girls growing up in the country’s Northern Region to dream big, and to support them to pursue those dreams. “We organized this camp because we wanted to let girls know that even if they are struggling with poverty, their lives will not be defined by limitations,” says Dolores Dickson, Camfed Ghana’s Executive Director.

Over the course of five days, the camp led the junior and secondary school students through a range of experiences and career opportunities that were entirely new to them. Dr. Agnes Apusiga, a lecturer from the University of Development Studies, ran the workshop on goal-setting and career choices, describing the universities and training colleges in Ghana that could help them achieve their dreams. Participants then visited the University for Development Studies, where they toured the medical school and science labs. Another highlight was a workshop at the computer lab at Tamale Secondary School. Many of the girls had studied information technology from a book but had never before seen a computer.

“When the girls arrived at camp, they were not ambitious, because they didn’t have any idea what the world held for them,” says Eugenia Ayagiba, Project Officer with Camfed Ghana. “Many had scarcely traveled beyond their own villages.”

“I think the most important thing that happened at the camp is that we opened a window of hope for a group of girls coming from backgrounds of poverty,” says Eugenia. For Rashida, who has been laughed at in the past by her schoolmates because of her father’s disability, the experience was important. “She told one of the camp mentors(辅导员) that when she is at school, she often feels like a misfit, and she prefers to keep to herself,” says Eugenia. “But at the camp, it was different. She made friends with girls who have similar struggles. She took part in every single activity, every single game. On the last day, she said to her mentor, ‘The camp has challenged me to study hard. Now I see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.’ 56．How many are there in Rashida’s family?

B

On October 19, 1959, the first Special English program was broadcast on the Voice of America. It was an experiment. The goal was to communicate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose native language is not English. Experts said the goal was admirable, but the method would not work. They were proved wrong. The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA. And they still are.

Forty years later, Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English. But during the years its role has expanded. It also helps people learn American English. And it provides listeners, even those who are native English speakers, with information they cannot find elsewhere.

Today, Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week, five times a day. Each half-hour broadcast begins with ten minutes of the latest news followed by 20 minutes of feature programming. There is a different short feature every weekday about science, development, agriculture and environment, and on the weekend, about news events and American idioms.

Three elements make Special English unique. It has a limited vocabulary of 1500 words. Most are simple words that describe objects, actions or emotions. Some are more difficult. They are used for reporting world events and describing discoveries in medicine and science. Special English is written in short, simple sentences that contain only one idea. No idioms are used. And Special English is spoken at a slower pace, about two-thirds the speed of Standard English. This helps people learning English hear each word clearly. It also helps people who are English speakers understand complex subjects.

Through the years, Special English has become a very popular tool for teaching English, even though it was not designed as teaching program. It succeeds in helping people learn English in a non-traditional way. Individuals record the programs and play them over and over to practice their listening skills. In countries around the world, English teachers assign Special English to their students. They praise it for improving their students' ability to understand American English and for the content of the programs. Universities and private companies in many countries produce packages of Special English materials for student use.

Riding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference; in London, people do not look at each other. In fact, eye contact is avoided at all time. That's not rudeness— people are just too busy to bother looking.

Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection（沉思）.Nor are they reading a book. New techology has replaced quiet habits. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an e-book.

Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（乘车上下班的人）. Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000-yes, that's 40,000-\downloaded for the iPhone)have been designed.

Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-filler. One \，called iShoot, is a game that features tanks. Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination（目的地）. ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone. You can then write in the \

D．learning English from VOA is a traditional way for English learner.

For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction（消遣）of choice. It's not just teenagers who \time for all ages.

And if games, e-books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied. Then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm（掌上）DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work. With all this distraction, it's amazing that people still remember to get off the train.

66．People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because they are busy . A．going to work

B．reading books C．thinking private thoughts

D．playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films 67．In Paragraph 4, the underlined word “them” refers to “ ”. A．habits B． “apps” C．iPhones D．films 68．Those who like war games can download to their iPhones. A．iShoot

70．The article tells us that .

A．London commuters are unfriendly to strangers

B．Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 apps

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blends by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.

In recent years, an increasing number of teenagers have the problem of obesity（肥胖）. This problem shouldn’t be ignored. It’s harmful disorder that can cause a number of health problems in children.

Many factors in life play an important role in developing obesity among teenagers. Generally, obesity happens when a Person uses more calories than he burns up. A child of fat parents is at higher risk to develop obesity. If both the parents are overweight, then there are 80% chances of developing obesity in children. Also, poor eating habits and lack of exercise can develop obesity in teenagers.

Obesity is a serious condition as it can result in many health problems in any age. Fat children are at greater risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure, heart diseases and breathing problems. A fat child also shows signs such as daytime sleepiness, morning headache, ete.

In addition to these physical effects, obesity in children causes some serious psychological

effects. Fat children car often laughed at by other for their being overweight. It can create a low self-esteem in them. It contributes to poor memory and poor performance at school. Also they hate attending the social events.

Obesity among teenagers can be treated by changing diets, increasing physical activities and taking certain medicine. Foods containing fats and high calories should be strictly removed from their diet. However, you should be careful that teenagers should get enough nutrients required for a healthy growth through their diet. You should make sure the children join in more physical activities and exercise. In some severe cases, the drugs should be given only after seeing the doctor.

SECTION B(10 marks)

directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.

According to a new study, preschool boys perform better on tests that measure learning and other important skills when they are in classes that have more girls than boys. This doesn’t seem to apply to girls, though. For preschool girls, the presence or absence of boys does not affect learning.

“The study raises questions about having all-boy or all-girl classes for preschool”, says psychologist Arlen Moller, who led the study. She added, “Previous researches have shown that high-school girls may study better in all-g irl schools. In middle school, however, the effects of same-sex schooling are unclear, and even less is known for very young kids.” To find out, researchers studied 70 preschool classes with a total of 806 children who were between 3.5 and 6 years old. For each class, teachers recorded the student’s progress over a 6.5-month school year.

Their data included scores of motor skills, social skills and thinking skills. Researchers found that boys developed each of these skills more quickly when there were more girls in the class than boys.

In majority-girl classrooms, boys developed at the same rate as girls. But in classes where boys were the majority, boys developed more slowly than girls. Girls tended to advance in classrooms which had any combination of boys and girls.

The study is one of the first to look at how the proportion of boys and girls in a class affects learning. Because it’s a new finding, researchers don’t know why this difference exists.

“This is an exciting topic, but it’s too early to draw any conclusion because this area is so under-explored,” says psychologist Lean Malofeeva of the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

81．What is the finding of the researchers led by Arlen Moller? (no more than 15 words)(2 marks) 82．According to the research , what effect does a minority-girl class have on boy’s study?(no more

than 8 words)(3 marks)

One possible version:

Tom is a primary school student and he enjoys drawing very

much.

One day, he went to the small woods not far from town to draw from nature, taking along with a drawing board. When he got there, he found that only one tree remained. “It’s better than nothing.” He comforted himself. So he began to put up his board in order to draw it quickly. At this time, a young man carrying an axe on his shoulder walked towards the tree and got down to cutting the tree. In no time he cut it down and pulled it away.

When Tom got ready and turned back to draw, he found the only tree was missing. “Dear me! Where on earth is the tree?” Tom wondered, puzzled and disappointed.

What Tom saw is a reminder to all of us that we human beings are destroying the Earth without taking our responsibilities into consideration. As far as I’m concerned, measures should be taken to protect the environment, or nobody could survive in the near future. 版权所有：高考资源网(www.ks5u.com)
