第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳答案。
A
When my grandmother was raising me in Stamps, Arkansas, she had a particular routine when people who were known to be whiners entered her store. My grandmother would ask the customer, “How are you doing today, Thomas?”
The person would reply, “Not so good today, Henderson. You see, it’s this summer heat. I just hate it. It just makes me tired. It’s almost killing me.’ Then my grandmother would stand calmly, her arms folded, and say, “Uh-huh, uh-huh.”
As soon as the complainer was out of the store, my grandmother would call me to stand in front of her. Then she would say the same thing she had said at least a thousand times, it seemed to me. “Jane, did you hear what so-and-so complained about?” And I would nod. Grandmother would continue, “Jane, there are people who went to sleep all over the world last night, poor and rich and black and white, but they will never wake again. Those dead people would give anything, anything at all for just five minutes of this weather that person was complaining about. So you watch yourself about complaining, Jane. What you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. Don’t complain.”
I have learned a lot from my grandmother. Her opinions always hit the nail on the head. Whining is not only impolite, but can be dangerous.
56. The underlined word “whiners” in paragraph 1 refers to those people who ______.
A. complain often B. enter a store regularly
C. are afraid of hot weather D. think little of themselves
57. From what the author’s grandmother said, we can infer that ______.
A. she tried to comfort the whiners B. she was impolite to the whiners
C. she was against whining D. she shared the whiners’ opinions
58. The author’s grandmother told her to ______.
A. be sympathetic to the dead B. treasure every moment of her life
C. keep away from the whiners D. get used to things she disliked
59. What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?
A. To show that complaining is not only rude but harmful.
B. To tell us a story about her grandmother.
C. To show how to live one’s life to the fullest.
D. To tell us people’s different attitudes towards complaining.
B
Do you want to be a successful person? Would you like to know how successful people usually think and what drives them? Here I am going to tell you the key to success that successful people share.
First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to move ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they can’t control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. At the same time, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life.
Perhaps what most separates successful people from others is that they live life “on purpose” --- they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to deal with things around them. They hold the view that when they live their life “on purpose”, their main concern is to do the job right. They live what they do. People want to do business with them because of their commitment. To live their life “on purpose”, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it.
Besides, they never give up easily. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. To achievers always bear in mind what they don’t have forever. Rather than see this as negative or depressing, they would use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.
So keep in mind what successful people always hold to be true so that you will have a clear idea of what you should do to be successful in life.
60. The underlined word “spur” in paragraph 4 probably means “______”.
A. interest B. equip C. depend D. inspire
61. Which is NOT the key to success that successful people share?
A. Taking responsibility for their life. B. Never giving up easily.
C. Having a goal in life. D. Controlling things in life.
62. According to the passage, to be successful, ______.
A. you should set up a realistic goal B. you should know your strengths and weaknesses
C. you shouldn’t blame others for your failure D. you shouldn’t waste time
63. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ______.
A. explain the exact meaning of success B. share with readers they key to success
C. tell his experience of achieving success D. encourage readers to learn from failure
C
Dear College Dean:
I’ve learned that this college has received a large donation to be used to improve the quality of life for students: Either expand the bookstore or add computers to the computer lab. It is the tradition of this school to promote education and to be in the vanguard(先锋) of new technology. That is why I strongly argue in favor of the addition of more computers to the computer lab.
Although expanding the campus bookstore to include CDs, gifts and a snack bar will give a nicer look to the college, we have to think about a greater goal and a more practical way to improve the quality of life for students. What do we want for our students and our college? Do we want our college to be known as a place with a great bookstore where you can find CDs and gifts, or as a place where the students can explore and research in their field using the best tools provided by technology? In addition, there are already several snack bars on campus, and there are music stores nearby, so students do not depend on the college bookstore for these things.
We live in a highly technological world and computers play an increasingly important role in how we live. As a learning institution this college has the responsibility to offer its students the best technology to help them prepare for their future. Many students will be expected to be familiar with the latest software and other tools when they go on to work or to graduate school.
If there are more computers, students will also be able to complete their work more efficiently. No more will they have to wait in line, paper and disk in hand, while scanning the room for an empty chair and computer. No longer will they have to sit and wait while an outdated computer struggles to follow their commands. Having more newer and faster computers available will enable students to finish their work more quickly.
Yours Truly
John
64. To improve the quality of life for students, the college is considering the following EXCEPT ______.
A. expanding the bookstore B. raising more donations
C. improving the face of the campus D. adding updated computers
65. How many reasons did John list to support his argument?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
66. By saying “we have to think about a greater goal” in paragraph 2, what does John mean?
A. We should try to offer the best technology to our students.
B. The Internet should be accessible to each student.
C. We should try to make the college nicer and more famous.
D. We should work out a more practical new program.
67. According to John, the college ______.
A. doesn’t make enough preparations for future challenges
B. doesn’t pay attention to computer education
C. is not satisfied with its students’ school results
D. has some problems with the computer lab
D
Most parents hope that their children will graduate from high school. For some, one high school is not enough. The University of Miami Online High School(UMOHS) just announced that a group of students in China will now be able to earn a diploma from their home country, while at the same time working towards one in the United States.
The idea isn’t a new one. UMOHS already has deals with a few schools in Russia. A business partner in the foreign country arranges all of the necessary government paperwork and recruits(吸收) high schools to participate in the program. Every student admitted is allowed to take classes via the web and for the first year, the high school foots the bill. If a student wants to continue beyond the first year and earn enough credits(学分) for a dual(双的) diploma, his or her parents will need to take over the costs.
It typically takes eight online courses for foreign students to earn an American high school diploma, according to Dr. Howard Liebman, UMOHS’s Chief Operating Officer. The UMOHS-based courses include English literature, History, and Economics, all of which require students to be able to read and write English fluently. Because UMOHS sticks to Florida’s statewide school requirements, they will also need to pay for half a year of life management classes and half a year of health care classes, in order to obtain a diploma. But some of the courses they take in China will also count towards their degree --- for example, math and science --- while others count towards a foreign language or world history credit.
Parents will have to pay for all eight courses out of their own pockets. Not cheap. But in an ever more globalized world, many parents are deciding it’s worth the cost. One diploma is good. But, says Liebman, “Two are even better.”
68. What does the underlined part “foots the bill” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Shares the cost. B. Pays the cost.
C. Increases the fee. D. Reduces the cost.
69. Which of the following requirements for a foreign student to earn an American high school diploma is NOT mentioned?
A. Taking eight online courses. B. Being able to read and write English fluently.
C. Paying for life management and health care classes. D. Taking an entrance examination.
70. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. High schools in America B. Foreign students seek American diploma
C. How to apply for an American diploma D. Is it necessary to earn a dual diploma?

Vegetables may aid the brain
A study suggests certain vegetables such as broccoli(西兰花) and spinach(菠菜) might help older women keep their minds sharp.
Researchers have discovered that women in their 60s who eat more green leafy vegetables how less signs of mental decline over time, reported Wednesday’s CRI online.
They gave participants a bundle of tests measuring memory, oral ability and attention. The study didn’t include men, but researchers say a similar diet would likely have the same results.
Eating fish can cut risk of heart rhythm disorder
US scientists have found that eating fish can reduce the risk of deadly heartbeat disorders. They say baked fish can effectively reduce the risk of atria fibrillation(心房颤抖) among older men and women, reported Tuesday’s CRI online.
Researchers say in their 12 years of research among 4,800 people over the age of 65, they found those who ate fish one to four times per week had an about 30 percent lower risk compared with those who ate fish less than once a month. They say the omega-3 fatty acid can reduce the risk of a range of heart disorders and is vital to brain development and function.
Red wine may extend life
US scientist have found that a mixture that makes red wine a healthy drink may also hold the secret to a longer life.
