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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Sometimes the real world can be a confusing place. It is not always fair or kind. And in the real world there are not always happy endings. That is why, every once in a while, we like to escape into the world of fantasy－a place where things always go our way and there is always a happy ending.
We want to believe in fantastic creatures in imaginary lands. We want to believe in magic powers, good friends, and the power of good to overcome evil. We all fantasize about being able to fly and lift buildings off the ground. And how good a magic sword would feel in our hand as we go off to kill a dragon or win the hand of a beautiful princess. The amazing adventures of Superman, Peter pan, and Harry Potter have charmed many people, children and adults alike. The main reason is that these stories offer us chances to get away from this real, frustrating world and allow us to find some magical solutions to our problems. For example, Superman always arrives in the nick of time to prevent a disaster from happening, Peter Pan can fly at will to tease the bad guy Captain Hook, and Harry Potter has his magic power to take revenge on his uncle, aunt and cousin, who always ill-treat him.
56．People enter the world of fantasy for the following reasons EXCEPT that _______.
A．the world of fantasy frightens us
B．the real world is often disappointing
C．we can find happy endings there
D．we can always have our wishes fulfilled
57．Superman, Peter Pan, and Harry Potter have charmed many people, because _______.
A．the bad guys always have the upper hand
B．they end up getting married to beautiful princesses
C．their solutions are anything but magical
D．they possess powers that ordinary people don’t have
58．This article about fantasy literature is intended to _________.
A．criticize its unrealistic concepts B．laugh at those people reading it
C．explain why people like to read it D．teach people to avoid disasters
B

It is hard to track the blue whale, the ocean’s largest creature which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangered species. Attaching radio equipment to it is difficult and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.
So biologists were delighted early this year when with the help of the Navy they were able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days monitoring its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy’s formerly top-secret system of underwater listening equipment spanning(估量) the oceans. Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian(民用的) scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies.
Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption for the first time and that they plan similar studies. Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures. The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second-slower than through land but faster than through air. What is most important, different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way a stethoscope(听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient’s chest to a doctor’s ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean especially low frequency ones can often travel thousands of miles.
62．The passage is chiefly about __________.
A．an effort to protect an endangered marine species.
B．the civilian use of a military detection system.
C. the exposure of a U.S. navy top-secret weapon
D. a new way to look into the behavior of blue whales
63．The underwater listening system was originally designed ___________.
A．to mark and locate enemy ships
B．to monitor deep-sea volcanic eruptions
C. to study the movement of ocean currents
D. to replace the global radio communications network
64．The deep-sea listening system makes use of _________.
A．the complex technology of focusing sounds under water
B．the capability of sound to travel at high speed
C．the special quality of layers of ocean water in sending out sound
D．low-frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water
65．It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A．new radio equipment should be developed for tracking the endangered blue whales
B．blue whales are no longer endangered with the use of the new listening system
C．opinions differ as to whether civilian scientists should be allowed to use military technology
D．military technology has great potential in civilian use
66．Which of the following is true about the U.S. Navy underwater listening network?
A．It is now partly used by civilian scientists
B. It has been replaced by a more advanced system.
C. It became useless to the military after the cold war
D. It is necessary in protecting endangered species
D
Nominations(提名) for the Academy Awards will be announced on Feb. 12 and the safest prediction is that everyone will find something to complain about. But of course the Oscars are not “fair”. They have always been more about remarkable scenes and excessive advertisements than about the reasonable recognition of talent.
In the 80-year history of the Academy Awards, women have been nominated for best director exactly twice. Yet the motion picture academy would never consider creating a category for “best directress”.
Even in fields where there are more women, they tend to fare(勉强过得去) poorly against men. Of the 146 writers nominated for an Academy Award in the last decade, for example, only 16 have been women. No one favors separate awards for male and female screenwriters.
And if the idea is to recognize professionals who tend to be ignored in Hollywood, then there ought to be a separate award for black actors. You think women have it hard in Hollywood? Only four black actors have ever won the top award and only 16 have ever been nominated, compared with more than 300 white actors.
The Academy Awards indulge in sexual difference because the Oscars are, first and foremost, about glitz (浮华). Actresses are more in the public eye than almost anyone else in Hollywood. No offense to the male actors in their black or white evening dresses, but on Oscar night, it’s the women who bring the attraction. Audiences want to see this year’s dresses and hairstyles. Studios want female stars to help them sell tickets.
67．How many men have been nominated for best screenwriter in the last decade’s Academy Awards?
A．16 B．146 C．162 D．130
68. The author mentioned two important things in this passage, they are ________.
A．Hollywood and Academy awards
B．Hollywood and sexual separation
C．actors and actresses
D.racial discrimination and sexual difference
69．In “No offense to the male actors” (Para 5), what does the word “offense” probably mean?
A．disrespect B．crime C．anger D．disagreement
70．As for African-Americans’ situation, which of the following is true?
A．Only four black actors have ever been nominated for the Academy Awards.
B．Only one black artist has ever won the best director title.
C．Only 20 black actors have ever been nominated for best actor.
D．African-Americans experience more unfair treatment.
71．Which of the following statement is true in this passage?
A．The Academy Awards has a 80-year history.
B．Two women won the best director title in the history of the Academy Awards.
C．Many professionals support separate awards for male and female screenwriters.
D．On Oscar night, studios want super stars to help them sell tickets.

Expressions about water are mostly as common as water itself.
The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression. Hot water was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle. That no longer happens. But we still get “in hot water”. When we are in hot water, we are in trouble. It can be any kind of trouble, serious or not so serious. A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother if he walks in the house with dirty shoes.
“Being in deep water” is almost the same as being in hot water. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult position. Imagine a person who can not swim being thrown in water over his head. You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you don’t have the ability to solve. You can be in deep water, for example, if you invest in stocks without knowing anything about the stock market.
“To keep your head above water” is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt. A company seeks to keep its head above water during economic hard times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job.
“Water over the dam” is another expression about past events. It is something that is finished, and cannot be changed. The expression comes from the idea that water has floated over a dam and cannot be brought back again. When a friend is troubled by a mistake she has made, you might tell her to forget about it. You say it is water over the dam.
Another common expression “to hold water” is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably comes from a way of testing the condition of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If your argument can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes; if it does not hold water, then, it is weak and not worth debating.
“Throwing cold water” also is an expression that deals with ideas or proposals. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems, but your wife throws cold water on the idea because she says a new car costs too much.
72. Don’t cheat in this exam! Or you’ll _____if you’re caught cheating by the teacher.
A. be in hot water B. have to hold water
C. be in deep water D. keep your head above water
73. The expression using water in Paragraph ______ has almost the same meaning as “Things done cannot be undone.”
A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6
74. We can see from this passage that many of the expressions using water have ______ meanings.
A. funny B. unpleasant C. close D. moral
75. The best title for this passage should be _________.
A. The history of water B. Cold water or hot water?
C. Water and its culture D. Wet expressions

Dear Sunny,
It’s very good that you want to make friends with your deskmate. In my opinion, you’d better first have a heart-to-heart talk with her, because mutual understanding is very important for all of us. And I think it’s better for you to ask her to join you and your classmates in all kinds of activities, such as birthday parties, going out for a walk, discussing some fashionable topics, and so on. Besides, helping each other will also benefit both of you. Try to share happiness and sadness with her.
I believe she will understand you in time and it is certain you two will be good friends in the future. Good luck to you.
Yours,
Editor
