第三部分 阅读理解(共两节, 满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
A
In June 1976, I graduated from Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago. Before the president handed me the diploma (毕业证), he asked my parents, Anna and Carlo Michelotti, to stand. They rose from their seats in the audience in surprise. They looked at each other and seemed puzzled.
The president told the crowd that my parents had managed to send their six children to top colleges and graduate schools. (Three of us would become doctors, two were already lawyers and one was a physicist.) “It’s surprising,” the president said. Everyone cheered loudly.
My mother was born in a small town in northern Italy. She was three when her parents moved to this country in 1926. They lived in Chicago, where my grandfather worked making ice cream.
My parents got married in 1944. Dad was a quiet and intelligent man. He was 17 when he left Italy. After they married, my mother left her job and gave herself to her family. In 1950, with three children, Dad moved the family to a farm 40 miles from Chicago. He worked the land and traveled regularly by bus to the city to run his business. Mama said goodbye to her parents and friends. She also said goodbye to her busy city life.
My mother never studied books on parenting. Yet she knew how to raise children.
One fall day, I was sitting at the kitchen table and Mama was cooking dinner. She saw Dad out the window on his tractor and smiled. “Your father has achieved so much,” she said. “He really is somebody.”

Toys provide more than just fun and games for kids. Most toys provide at least some opportunity for children to learn. A good toy can develop children’s senses and encourage them to communicate with others.
Toys for Babies
Babies want to learn about the world around them very much, and they have much to learn. Every new shape, color, taste and sound is a learning experience for them.
Toys that make music are favorites of babies. Toys with different colors are attractive to babies. They also need objects such as blocks to help them build hand-eye coordination (协调). Giving your baby these toys will help him/her discover his/her senses.
Toys for Toddlers (学步儿童)
Toddlers can play with more toys than they did when they were smaller. They might still enjoy some of the toys they played with as babies, and that’s fine. The same blocks they played with a year or two ago can provide them with new and different educational opportunities as their knowledge expands. But they also need toys that are designed for kids of their age in mind.
Toys for Preschool Children
When children reach preschool age, it’s time to start learning about letters, numbers and language skills. There are lots of toys that encourage this type of learning, from simple alphabet puzzles to high-tech electronic toys. These will introduce him/her to the things he/she will learn in school thus profiting them.
Children can learn a lot from playing. When you give your child educational toys and play with them with him/her, it gives him/her a chance to learn and have fun at the same time.

The London underground (the tube) is the oldest in the world, upon which nearly 1 billion journeys are made each year. If you want to travel fast around London, taking the tube will make you reach your destination (目的地) quicker than taking a bus or taxi. Trains generally leave every 3 or 4 minutes, less frequently at weekends and late at night.
Finding your way through London using the underground is not as difficult as it looks. The following are the main parts most tourists travel on.
Each line on the underground has a name and a color. There are a total of 12 different colored lines in the London underground system.
The Northern line, which runs from High Barnet in the north to Morden in the south, is black on the map. The Central line is red and runs from east to west. The Circle line is yellow and is the only line which runs in a complete circle. The Metropolitan line runs from Aldgate to Amersham and has the color violet.
There are maps at each station and inside each train. You can see where you are going and whether you are on the right train.
Each stop that you approach (靠近) will be told by a loudspeaker in the train. If you find yourself going in the wrong direction, simply get off at the next station and cross the platform to the other side.
Every train will have its destination on the front of the train, so it is a good idea to look at the train as it approaches the station.
38. What is the text mainly about?
A. The history of the London underground.
B. Main lines of the London underground.
C. How to take the London underground.
D. Traveling by the London underground.

D
Daniel Hillel developed drip irrigation (滴灌) techniques. The techniques make farming possible in places where there is not enough water. Because of this, he won this year’s World Food Prize.
Hillel is using the techniques in his orchards (果园) near his home in Israel.
Irrigating drop by drop — called drip irrigation — has changed agriculture by greatly reducing the amount of water needed.
Farmers now rely on it in places from Spain, to Africa, to America. “We in California grow about 50 percent of the fruits and vegetables of the continental United States,” says Jan Hopmans from University of California at Davis. “And these drip irrigation techniques make it possible.”
Hillel got his start in dry land farming in Israel’s Negev Desert in the 1950s. “The key was making good use of water,” he says. “There’s much land. Water is limited.” These farmers did not have the advantage of running irrigation water through channels (水渠) to their crops. So Hillel and others gave plants just what they needed and just where they needed it.
“The idea is to use water little by little,” Hillel says. It worked so well that Hillel was soon traveling around the world, showing others how to do it. Experts say drip irrigation’s importance is growing, as climate change and rising population make water supplies become few in many parts of the world.
“This is where water use, climate change and crop production all meet at one point,” Hillel says. “And this has been really the essence (本质) of my career.”
A career whose importance can be measured drop by drop.
42. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. Drip irrigation has greatly affected agriculture.
B. Daniel Hillel is becoming popular worldwide.
C. Jan Hopmans takes pride in American agriculture.
D. Drip irrigation plays a key role in American agriculture.
43. Drip irrigation is popular because .
A. it can provide plants with what is needed
B. it is more advanced than channel irrigation
C. it can make the most use of water
D. it can be used all around the world
44. What makes drip irrigation seem increasingly important?
A. Dry land farming. B. Water shortages.
C. Food shortages. D. Environmental pollution.
45. The writer considers Daniel Hillel’s career to be .
A. worthy of understanding B. worthy of respect
C. brief D. hard
