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,从每题所给出的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don’t laugh, it’s true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.
Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.
“We don’t get sick or stay well by ourselves,” says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research.
The genes (基因) you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected (影响) may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.
Unrelated (无关的) people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too.
Ferrer’s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored (忽视) or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.
We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits (好处), Ferrer said.
56. Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?
A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class.
B. Because her parents used to quarrel.
C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.
D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.
57. According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements (陈述) is TRUE?
A. We get sick or stay well by ourselves.
B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.
C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment.
D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.
58. The underlined word “coma” in Paragraph2 probably means ________.
A. embarrassment (尴尬) B. faint
C. tiredness D. sadness
59. The best title for this passage is ________.
A. Family relations.
B. The reasons why we get sick.
C. Happy family makes you healthy.
D. A research about teenagers’ health.
B
King Alfred of England once led his army to fight with another army and was beaten. So he had to run away through the woods and swamps (沼泽) to save his life.
One evening he came to a woodcutter’s hut. He was very tired and hungry, so he begged the woodcutter’s wife to give him something to eat and a place to sleep in. He was ragged and dirty and she did not know that he was the king. She felt so sorry for him that she told him to come in and gave him a seat near the fire. She was baking some cakes. She said to King Alfred, “I must go and milk the cow. Watch the cakes and do not let them burn.”
The king was willing to do this, but he kept thinking about his army and soon forgot all about the cakes. In a few minutes the woman came back and found the cakes burning. She was so angry that she struck the king with a stick and cried, “You lazy fellow! You want to eat, but you do not want to work.”
60. We can know from the passage that ________.

C. knowing that man was the king, the woodcutter’s wife gave him a seat near the fire

61. Why did the cakes get burning?
A. Because the king didn’t know how to bake cakes.
B. Because the king kept thinking and forgot all about them.
C. Because the king was very lazy.
D. Because the king only wanted to eat instead of working.
62. It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that ________.
A. a woodcutter saved King Alfred’s life
B. though the woodcutter’s wife struck the king with a stick, she was a kind-hearted woman

Sometimes children do not do what their parents tell them to do. When this happens, a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually punishes the child.
There are many things that a parent can do. One thing that people have done is to spank (打屁股) the child. When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a hard object to strike them on their bottom. This is meant to show the child that they have done something wrong.
One parent remembers being spanked when he was a child. His parents used a wooden spoon. When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his child’s leg. He never did that again.
One problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard. Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing.
Many parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that their religion(宗教)tells them that spanking is okay. Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts (法院) say that parents have the right to teach their children how to behave.
Other things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Telling the child exactly what is wanted from them can be one thing. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried. Getting down to the child’s level and taking a more child-friendly approach (方法) can help as well.
63. According to the passage, when children do something wrong, one thing that parents usually do to punish them is to ________.
A. strike them on the bottom
B. try to help them do the right thing
C. teach them what to do
D. take them to court
64. Which of the following is NOT the problem caused by spanking?
A. It teaches the child to hit others when they offend him or her.
B. The parent may get angry and hit the child too hard.
C. Sometimes parents may use spanking for everything.
D. It makes parents try other ways to make the child do right.
65. Which of the following can best describe the writer’s attitude (态度) towards spanking?
A. favorable (赞同的) B. indifferent (不关心)
C. interested D. unfavorable
66. From this passage, we can conclude (作出结论) that ________.
A. Good children always do the right thing.
B. Parents should try their best to avoid (避免) spanking their children.
C. Parents have no choice but to spank their children when they do something wrong.
D. Children can have more than one choice to avoid being spanked.
D
Some kids start to drink alcohol (酒精) at a young age. They think it is part of becoming an adult. They also think drinking is not that bad because so many people do it. They feel it is not as bad as taking drugs (毒品). It is easy for kids to get liquor by using fake identification (伪造证件).
Parents may start to notice a change in their child’s behavior if the child starts drinking. Kids who drink sometimes stop doing things they normally liked to do. They may keep telephone calls and meetings a secret and not want anybody to touch their things. They act moody (喜怒无常) and do not have the same eating and sleeping habits.
Parents need to stay involved (牵涉) in their kids’ lives. They should talk to their children about their problems to be aware of any changes.
Parents can be the best protection. Children who get a lot of love can feel good about themselves. It helps them resist doing bad things even when other kids are doing them. Parents can also help set a good example by not drinking and driving. They can have firm rules in the home that everyone follows.
Give the children good ideas on how to say “no” to drinking, even when they are at a party. Try not to overreact or panic (惊慌) if the child tries alcohol. How you handle it can affect their attitude. It may be helpful to talk to other parents about setting up curfews (宵禁令) and rules about parties or other events.
67. Which of the following is NOT the reason why some kids have an early start of drinking?
A. They want to show their maturity (成熟) by drinking alcohol.
B. Drinking alcohol is much cooler than taking drugs.
C. They are affected by many other people around them.

68. According to the passage, what changes may happen to the kids who start drinking?
A. Nothing serious will happen to them.
B. They keep the same eating and sleeping habits.
C. They can control their moods quite well.
D. Sometimes they act secretly.
69. According to the writer, if parents find their children try alcohol, they had better ________.
A. punish them at once
B. ask the police for help
C. ask their children’s friends for help
D. set up curfews and rules about parties or other events with other parents
70. Which is the main subject discussed in the passage?

Ladji Doucoure of France beat Olympic champion Liu Xiang of China in the final meters to claim the title of the men's 110 meters hurdles (跨栏) at the 10th world championships (锦标赛) in Helsinki on Friday.
Doucoure, who led the world this season with 12.97 seconds, overtook the Chinese to win the race in 13.07 seconds. Liu was second in 13.08. Four-time world champion (冠军) Allen Johnson of the United States took the third in 13.10.
The 22-year-old Doucoure said after the race, “I can not tell you just how long I have been dreaming of this. This victory (胜利) is the result of a lot of hard work, and also a lot of support from people who had believed in me. I had a bad start, touched a few hurdles, but after the 4th hurdle I picked up my race and went straight to the finish line.”
Liu, who won the Olympic gold with a world record-tying time of 12.91 seconds, said: “I'm very satisfied with the second place. The result could have been worse. I felt quite well and did my best. I'm not tired, I had some clearance problems at the start, so I should practice that some more.
Finally, I didn't lose by much, only by a little bit, but I did think I could win it.”
Liu's coach Sun Haiping said on Friday he was content with Liu's performance.
“Liu Xiang was quite good during his reaction (反应) period, but he was a little bit slow in the middle and he finally caught up during the last two hurdles,” Sun told Xinhua.
Although satisfied with the silver medal and the clocking of 13.08 seconds, Sun said Liu might have added the world title to the Olympic championship if Liu had run the track neighboring his major rivals (对手) of Doucoure Ladji or Allen Johnson.
“If he had run next to Ladji Doucoure or Allen Johnson, Liu could have kept pace with them and then sprinted (疾跑) at the last stage. In this case, he could grab the gold,” said Sun, who has become a household name for coaching China's first men's Olympic champion in the track.
71. This passage probably appears ________.
A. in a story book B. in a text book
C. in a newspaper D. in a fashion magazine
72. The following statements about Doucoure are true EXCEPT ________.
A. He won the gold medal in the men’s 110m hurdles in Helsinki.
B. He led the world in men’s 110m hurdles with 12.97 seconds this season.
C. He did a lot of hard practice before the race in Helsinki.
D. He won the world champion title four times.
73. Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined phrase “picked up my race” in Paragraph3?
A. gathered speed B. stood up
C. made up my mind D. became better in health
74. According to Sun Haiping, Liu Xiang might have won the gold if ________.
A. he had done better during his reaction period
B. he had run the track next to Ladji Doucoure or Allen Johnson
C. he had practiced clearance more before that race
D. he hadn’t touched a few hurdles in the race

D. It’s a pity that Liu Xiang took the second in Helsinki.

Dear Xiaoyu,
I’m sorry to know you have such a difficult problem. Your friend needs to think about what is best for him. He is certainly not going to do well at school if he spends all his time on the Internet and misses classes. But to tell the teacher the truth could hurt the relationship between you and him. You’d better talk to your friend and tell him you are worried and that you are under pressure to tell the truth at school. Your friend needs to be kind and understand you. You shouldn’t start an argument but should try and have a discussion with him.
