第三节：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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
American women experience a great variety of lifestyle. A typical American woman may be single. She may also be divorced or married. She may be a homemaker, a doctor, or a factory worker. It is very difficult to generalize about American women. However, one thing that many American women have in common is their attitudes about themselves and their roles in American life.
Historically, American women have always been very independent. The first settlers to come to New England were ten young couples that had left behind their extended families. The women were alone in a new, undeveloped country with their husbands. This has two important effects. First of all, this was the uncivilized environment that demanded every person to share in developing it and in survival. Women worked with their husbands and children to make themselves accepted in this new land. Second, because they were in a new land without the established influence of older members of society, women felt free to step into nontraditional roles.
This role of women was strengthened in later years as Americans move west again, leaving families behind and meeting a new environment. Even later, in the east, as new settlers arrived, women often found jobs more easily than men. Women became the supporters of the family.
Within the established lifestyle of the industrialized twentieth century, the strong role of women was not attractive as in the early days of the country. Some women stepped into the men’s jobs as factory and business workers. After the war, some women stayed in these positions, and others left their jobs with a new sense of ability.
66．A typical American woman is .
A．single or married B．divorced
C．sure about herself and her role D．all of the above
67．During the industrialized twentieth century, the role of women .
A．was found out B．was as important as before
C．declined D．was stronger than that of the early days
68．Women took part in men’s job during the time of .
A．the Second World War B．the Westward Movement
C．the early immigration D．the industrialized twentieth century
69．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Different lifestyles led by American women.
B．American women were free to step into nontraditional roles in society.
C．American women worked hard to establish their history.
D．American women were independent because they did not have to follow the regulations at all.
B
Every summer thousands of Americans stay at home instead of going on holiday because they’re overweight. They don’t want people to see them sunbathing and they don’t want to have to squeeze into plane seats. But now, thanks to the growing number of weight-friendly holiday packages, the overweight are having their days in the sun.
“Overweight people will have a great time on our holidays as we don’t judge them like other people do,” said Liz Nickels，owner of Big Adventures, a US-based company that hosts scuba-diving—a sport of swimming underwater while breathing through a tube connected to a tank on your back for larger people. As a way to keep up with the demand for extra-large accommodation, many hotels in the US have started to offer features such as wide beds and handheld showers. But the best in plus-size vacationing lies at Mexico’s Freedom Paradise, a 112-room resort（度假胜地）opening this month，which urges guests to “Live Large, Live Free”.
The hotel has broad doorways, reinforced（加同）furniture and extra large chairs. It also boasts（自夸）a private beach to protect people from the stares that can occur on public beaches．“It’s not a hotel just for large people. It’s a size-friendly place where anyone can enjoy a holiday,” said owner Jurrian Kilnk. “What we noticed was that a lot of oversized people don’t feel comfortable at resorts．”Staff members of all sizes are hired by the hotel to make overweight people feel OK.
Though many welcome the new service，some feel differently. “I have a real problem with this,” said Nancy Lenhart, owner of Camp La Jolla, a Californian weight-loss and fitness camp. “If you talk about oversized beds and doorways you are throwing their weight in their faces. Overweight people want to be normalizeD． They shouldn’t be discriminated against like this.”
70．Large people don’t want to go on holiday because___________.
A．they don’t like sun-bathing
B．they don’t want to be looked at
C．the planes are too crowded
D．hotels are not open to them
71．In the first paragraph，weight-friendly holiday packages means________.
A．there are some free packages for the overweight
B．people are friendly to the overweight
C．special holiday tour for the overweight
D．the overweight can lose weight
72．Mexico’s Freedom Paradise is a hotel__________.
A．for people of all sizes B．only intended for larger people
C．where everything is oversized D．where larger people can live for free
73．The underlined part “you are throwing their weight in their faces” means__________.
A．you are beating them in the face B．it’s easy to know they’re overweight
C．their faces seem bigger than others D．you can make them lose weight
C
Remember how great exercise was when you were a little kid ? Back then , racing around the playground or skipping rope for hours , you weren’t thinking fitness , you were thinking entertainment . But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused gym memberships , the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten . Rediscovering it will give you a total-body exercise you can find .
Although considered an excellent form of exercise , jumping rope has never gained widespread acceptance because of two fundamental reasons . First ,most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular （心血管的） exercise , but they also believe that it is simply too difficult . In other words , they don’t think they’ll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial physical outcome . Second , many view it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive ——not as something fun or enjoyable .
As a matter of fact , jumping rope can be great fun if you find a proper way to practise it .Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce over and over again , people good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps . A single bounce , a double –bounce , a skip , a knee-up , side swings , as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping .
Now researchers are learning that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning . It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres（半球） to perform in parallel to each other . In short , jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment , time and space , yet leading to a much healthier life .
74．The first paragraph mainly tells us that .
A．jumping rope has faded from people’s memories
B．people now have more advanced equipment
C．racing around the playground was preferred
D．people now like to have exercise in a gym
75．Rope jumping has not spread widely because .
A．it benefits the cardiovascular system B．it is too hard for people to jump
C．it is considered boring and repetitive D．it requires little equipment , time and space
76．According to the researchers , jumping rope .
A．only prepares the brain for learning
B．is suitable for students only
C．helps both brain hemispheres work together
D．can be dangerous for old people
77．What is the author’s attitude towards rope jumping ?
A．He is arguing against it. B．He is in favour of it .
C．He is sitting on the fence of it . D．He is not clear about it .
D
Villagers in Koh Samui yesterday criticized state authorities for their failure to stop illegal deforestation on the resort island . The villagers in Bor Phut said they had seen a group of men take chainsaws to a forest on Khao Duang Nok mountain near Samui airport .They believe the men are falling trees to clear the land for a construction project .
“We’ve heard the sound of saws working,” said a villager . The mountain’s steep slope made it difficult for the villagers to get into the forest to see the men at work . However , they said traces （痕迹） of deforestation were apparent . One villager said he reported the matter to state authorities , asking them to take legal action , but to no avail .
Khao Duang Nok has been under the spotlight after the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry investigated the matter .
A businessman was charged with having occupied 49 acres of land with false land documents and many land officials were arranged to leave the area during the investigation in connection with land scandals （丑闻） in a project known as “The Peak”.
Koh Samui district chief Decha Kangsanant has ordered a stop to any development activities on Khao Duang Nok until the investigation results are released . However , the villagers said nothing has been done to stop deforestation . Sunthorn Watcharakuldirok ,director of the Forestry Department , said the group of men entered the forest two weeks ago after forestry officials returned from their inspection .
The fact that the men remained fearless showed that it was the work of influential people who were challenging state power , he said . His department is planning to arrest all the men .
78．The underlined phrase “to no avail” in the 2nd paragraph means .
A．useless B．in astonishment
C．without permission D．without delay
79．Villagers failed to see the men cutting down the trees in a forest because .
A．the traces of deforestation were apparent B．the authorities forbade them to go there
C．the mountain blocked their views D．the road to the forest is not easy to take
80． is a person not a place .
A．Koh Samui B．Bor Phut
C．Khao Duang Nok D．Decha Kangsanant
81．It is obvious that .
A．the activity of falling trees is going on
B．the authorities have arrested some criminals
C．the group observes the order of the authorities
D．the activities on Khao Duang Nok have stopped

Sometime early in the next century, human beings will move to Mars. They will live there for about a year, and then will be replaced with another group of pioneers. Building the base on Mars will advance our knowledge of the solar system and aid in our understanding of the earth.
We already know that Mars resembles the earth in many aspects：general size, presence of water, length of day, range of temperatures. These resemblances have caused many people to consider a centuries-long project：to terraform Mars. Terraforming means altering a planet’s surface so that Earth’s life forms can survive there. This concept, previously found only in science fiction is now being seriously considered by scientists.
Terraforming Mars is theoretically simple：add nitrogen and oxygen to the atmosphere; pump water to the surface; and add the earth’s plants and animals in the order in which they developed on Earth. But it will take at least 300 years.
Some people think that such a project is too huge for humans to undertake, but there are very good reasons to make the attempt. The earth now contains some 6 billion people, and no one has any idea of how many humans the earth can support. Our very existence and numbers are threatening many other species. We also have had some experience with terraforming our own planet：altering the landscape, the atmosphere and the climate. Currently terraforming earth has become a wiser activity as we try to control global warming, air and water pollution, and preserve some natural living places.
While the possibility of such a project is small, it is not impossible. Even if earth-bound societies come and go in the next 300 years, the project can continue through the work of the Mars settlers without the need for constant backing from the earth.
The future existence of all the people in our world may very well depend upon our ability to terraform Mars.
82．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Terraforming Mars. B．Saving the Earth.
C．Travelling to Mars. D．A Newly-found Place.
83．What does the underlined word “altering” mean in the second paragraph?
A．Warming. B．Changing. C．Planting. D．Building.
84．According to the passage the main purpose of terraforming Mars is to .
A．do some scientific research work
B．find out its similarity to earth
C．avoid the dying away of many other species
D．find on Mars living place for the increasing human beings
85．What’s the author’s attitude towards the project?
A．OptimistiC． B．Negative.
C．Sceptical.（持怀疑态度） D．Objective.

Dear Li Hua,
I am a grade 12 student in the United States. I’m very glad to be able to communicate with someone from China.
In response to your question regarding your friends borrowing things, I have some advice that may be of some help. If I in your situation, I would be honest with my friends and talk to them about this matter. You have to confront them and just tell them to take care of your things. If they are truly your friends, they will respect your wishes and take good care of your pen, Walkman, books, etc. I’m sure they would not be happy if you broke their Walkmans or books. Therefore, they cannot be mad at you for telling them to take better care of your things.
I hope this advice works well for you. If you have any other question, please feel free to ask me. I would be glad to help you.
Best wishes!
Jordan Silva |
