Ⅲ.阅读理解(每小题2分，共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。
A
I know what you're thinking: pizza(比萨饼)？For breakfast But the truth is that you can have last night's leftovers in the a．m. if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早餐), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don't have time, others think they're “saving” calories(卡路里)，still others just don't like breakfast food.
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you're trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all，” says Katherine Brooking, R．D., who developed the super easy eating plan for this year's “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it's loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night's leftovers——it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow.” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it...you may save yourself some pre bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat burning effects.
36．The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means______.
A．food remaining after a meal
B．things left undone
C．meals made of vegetables
D．pizza topped with fruit
37．What can we infer from the text
A．Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.
B．Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.
C．There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.
D．Eating vegetables helps save energy.
38．According to the last paragraph, it is important to________.
A．eat something for breakfast
B．be careful about what you eat
C．heat up food before eating it
D．eat calorie controlled food
39．The text is written mainly for those________.
A．who go to work early
B．who want to lose weight
C．who stay up late
D．who eat before sleep
B
Having a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study. For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. “It's a well known_pattern，” said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. “Men usually work more outside the home, while women take on more of the housework.”
He points out that differences among households (家庭) exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. “And the situation gets worse for women when they have children.” Stafford said.
Overall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of sweeping and dusting work, compared with 17 hours in 2005. Men are taking on more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in 2005.
Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours, while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most——about 21 hours a week.
Men showed a somewhat different pattern, with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men.
Having children increases housework even further. With more than three, for example, wives took on more of the extra work, clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands' 10 hours.
40．According to the “well known pattern” in Paragraph 1, a married man________.
A．takes on heavier work
B．does more housework
C．is the main breadwinner
D．is the master of the house
41．How many hours of housework did men do every week in the 1970s
A．About 28. B．About 26.
C．About 13. D．About 6.
42．What kind of man is doing most housework according to the text
A．An unmarried man.
B．An older married man.
C．A younger married man.
D．A married man with children.
43．What can we conclude from Stafford's research
A．Marriage gives men more freedom.
B．Marriage has effects on job choices.
C．Housework sharing changes over time.
D．Having children means doubled housework.

The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin's older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.
Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers(广告商), readers, market value, and, in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor(主编) of the Times said recently，“At places where they gather, editors ask one another，‘How are you？', as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.”An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”
Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock(股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test preparation service now brings in at least half the company's income.
48．What can we learn about the New England Courant
A．It is mainly about the stock market.
B．It marks the beginning of the American newspaper.
C．It remains a successful newspaper in America.
D．It carries articles by political leaders.
49．What can we infer about the newspaper editors
A．They often accept readers' suggestions.
B．They care a lot about each other's health.
C．They stop doing business with advertisers.
D．They face great difficulties in their business.
50．Which of the following found a new way for its development
A．The Washington Post.
B．The Guardian.
C．The New York Times.
D．New England Courant.
51．How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers
A．Satisfied. B．Hopeful.
C．Worried. D．Surprised.

It's only 4 hours flying time from Sydney, but a world away. What better place to rest than a country where the only place people hurry is on the football field and things are done in “Fiji time”？
Viti Levu——Great Fiji——is the largest island. Here you'll find the capital Suva and the international airport at Nadi. Vatoa, on the other hand, is a tiny island in the farthest part of Fiji. Then there are 331 other islands, many of them with places to stay.
With less than a million people living on islands, you'll never feel crowded. And with a climate(气候) that changes only for five degrees between seasons, there's never a bad time to come.
From cities to villages, from mountains to beaches, from water sports to wooden artworks, Fiji can give you more adventures and special experiences than you could find almost anywhere in the world.
Whenever you come, wherever you go, you're sure to see some unforgettable events. From war dances to religious(宗教的) songs. From market days to religious days. It's not just staged for tourists; it's still a part of everyday life in Fiji. And any one of us can enjoy Fiji's spirit by being part of the traditional(传统的) sharing of yaqona, a drink made from the root of a Fiji plant.
So why not join us for the experience of a lifetime
52．Where is the international airport of Fiji
A．In Suva.
B．In Sydney.
C．On the island of Vatoa.

A．They invented “Fiji time” for visitors.
B．They stick to a traditional way of life.
C．They like to travel from place to place.
D．They love taking adventures abroad.
54．One of the things that make Fiji a tourist attraction is________.
A．its comfortable hotels

14答案：A　as long as“只要”。
15答案：D　考查“祈使句＋and you'll...”结构。
16答案：B　学长听完“我”的问题就笑了。从后文可知麦克纳马拉夫人的严谨是人人皆知，而学长也一定是深有体会；“笑”也符合学生的心理特征——“你有麻烦了”！

18答案：C　a pattern of activity“行为模式(指固定的行为习惯)”。这说明了麦克纳马拉夫人的一贯作风。
19答案：D　have sth. for homework“有……的家庭作业”。从后文也可以得到提示。
20答案：B　related to“与……相关的”。学生的写作题目当然是与阅读作业“相关的”。

22答案：B　第二天，她会将已批的并打上分的作业发还给我们。
23答案：D　in return“轮流”；学生被要求轮流站在前台读自己的文章。不给学生侥幸躲过的机会，这才是麦克纳马拉夫人的风格。
24答案：C　read out“大声朗读出”；从此处可知Mrs. McNamara的严格要求。
25答案：D　or“否则……”。每个人都要进行评论。否则个人得分将被削减。这又一次体现了麦克纳马拉夫人的严谨治学的作风。

32答案：C　经此“大难”，“我”痛定思痛，下定决心绝不重犯如此错误。这是符合学生心理的。

34答案：C　在作者眼中，麦克纳马拉夫人是通过一种强有力的手段改变着学生的懒散；因此force一词更好地体现了她重效率的风格，也照应了文章一开始她留给我的印相。
35答案：A　did代指前文的improve，是一种强调的说法。相当于I improved myself或I did improve myself。
36答案：A　根据倒数第一段第二句话的前半部分“I say, try heating up last night's leftovers...”中的heat up以及第四句话“I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night.”中的put away可以推知leftover指的是“剩饭”。
37答案：B　本文的话题考生都比较熟悉：“建议吃好早餐。”本文通俗易懂，考生大致能理解和掌握它的大意：部分人士对早餐的误解——不吃早餐能减肥。
38答案：A　作者在第四段根据自身经历以及科学研究而得出结论：食用早餐可以帮助人们在一天之中避免过度进食，有助于减肥。此外，第五段第一句话“So eat something in the morning, anything.”是本段的主题句。
39答案：B　作者全文纠正了人们对于早餐的一种错误认识——不吃早餐能减肥，并进一步介绍说使用早餐非但不会使人肥胖，反而有助于减肥。由此可以推断本文的读者群应当是那些希望减肥的人士。
40答案：C　根据第一段最后一句话“Men usually work more outside the home, while women take on more of the housework.”可知：婚后男女的主要责任是：男主外，女主内。男子在养家糊口方面要承担更多的责任。

42答案：A　根据第五段第二句话“Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men.”可知。
43答案：C　本文是一篇展示社会问题类型的文章。作者采用诙谐幽默的写作风格，为我们描述了一个很普遍的社会问题：男女角色在家庭责任承担上随着时期的不同(单身——婚后——孩子出生等阶段)而发生变化。
44答案：C　全文讲的是这项研究工作， 并且提及薪水、工作要求等。Head of Research 也是一个职位， 因此选C项， 求职专栏。
45答案：A　原文第一段最后一句话说明了所要求的工作，练习控制好所有研究工作，因此选A项。B项错在原文第二段是说CWU寻找成员不是贸易联盟。C项错在第一段最后一句话是说管理有三个研究人员和四个工作人员的团队。D项错在第三段最后一句话是说有电子通讯行业的知识或经验。
46答案：A　原文最后一段提到了B、C两个选项，文章最后也提及了截止时间，只有A项没有提到。
47答案：C　推断题。 通过文中所说的工作职责——掌管研究工作、管理团队，职位要求——有很好的研究技术、在相关领域有不错的学历或工作经验，因此选C项。
48答案：B　根据第一段第二句话“In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin's older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper.”可知。
49答案：D　根据第二段的内容可知：报业在目前面临着严重的危机：广告商流失，读者群和市场萎缩。报业的经营难以为继。
50答案：A　根据第三段最后一句话“The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test preparation service now brings in at least half the company's income.”可知。
51答案：C　本文为我们呈现了报业从起源到发展到现在所面临的困境——受到了更为先进快捷的互联网的冲击。作者通过回顾和对报业现状的描述，表达了自己的担忧：报业在未来何去何从？
52答案：D　根据第二段前两句话“Viti Levu——Great Fiji——is the largest island. Here you'll find the capital Suva and the international airport at Nadi.”可知。
53答案：B　根据文章倒数第二段的内容可知。
54答案：B　根据第三段第二句话“And with a climate(气候) that changes only for five degrees between seasons, there's never a bad time to come.”可知。
55答案：C　本文是一篇介绍旅游景点的文章，描写了太平洋岛国斐济的旅游资源——维提岛(Viti Levu)，斐济第一大岛；最佳气候，温差仅仅在5度左右；各种运动；各种土著传统等等。因此本文最有可能出现在旅游杂志上。
[参考范文]
In the picture, a man is smoking heavily in a factory. On the wall he sees a sign which means “No smoking”. But he finds that the factory is giving off large quantities of heavy smoke which makes him feel very puzzled, “Why does the factory forbid people to smoke while the factory itself gives off so much poisonous smoke？”
Nowadays, many factories know the danger of smoking and don't allow people to smoke in the factory. However, they don't pay any attention to the anger that they cause to the whole society. And they let out lots of polluted smoke and the smoke does great harm to our health and our environment.
In my opinion, we should take good care of natural environment! Something must be done to prevent the pollution caused by us!
