第三部分：阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.
After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (地道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.
On the fifth day a tragedy (悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.
Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.
Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work.
But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity(逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.
Giving up, I say, is not a good choice.

A. They built a farm of ants. B. They bought a few ants.

A. The writer broke the glass box because it made his face dirty.
B. The ants died one by one because the tunnels were destroyed.
C. Unlike people, teamwork is not so important for the ants.
D. Giving up is a good way when we meet trouble.
53. Which is the correct order of the following?
a. All the tunnels fell down. b. The ants died one by one.
c. The ants got into the glass box. d. The ants began making tunnels.
A. a-b-c-d B. a - c - d - b C. c-d-a-b D. c-a-d-b
54. What did the writer come to realize a few years later?
A. Working together is useless. B. Teamwork is important.
C. He can't accept adversity. D. Working alone is amazing.
55. What is the best title for the passage?

B
Jimmy is an automotive mechanic(技工), but he lost his job a few months ago. He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre（轮胎) of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applications waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.
56. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job? A. He was out of work B. He was bored with his job C. He wanted a higher position D. He hoped to find a better boss
57. What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview? A. A friend’s car had a flat tyre B. a wild man was pushing a car C. a terrible accident happened D. an old man’s car broke down
58. Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride? A. He was also to be interviewed B. He needed a traveling companion C. He always helped people in need D. He was thankful to Jimmy
59. How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer’s question? A. He was sorry for the other applicants
B. There was no hope for him to get the job C. He regretted helping the old man
D. The interviewer was very rude
60. A. What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience？ A. Where there is a will, there’s a way B. A friend in need is a friend indeed C. Good is rewarded with good. D. Two heads are better than one

Gloria arrived in Barbados on 26 January, 2008 after rowing * across the Atlantic for three months and a half. Gloria was in one of 36 small wooden rowing boats that set off on 7 October, 2007 from Tenerife Island on the Atlantic Rowing Challenge Race. Each boat was exactly the same design and each one had food for the journey. There were two people in each boat and their challenge was to row across the Atlantic, a journey of about 3.360 kilometers.
Gloria began the journey with her husband in a small boat. However, after 14 days he became very afraid of the huge ocean and was not able to go on, so he left her with the help of a helping boat. This did not make Gloria give up. Instead, she decided that she would continue by herself. So, for the next hundred days, she rowed her small boat alone and fought against the waves and the winds, and her own fears.
When she finally arrived in Barbados, Gloria was not willing to leave her boat although her husband and family were there to greet her. She sat so long in the boat that she could hardly stand, her husband had to carry her off the boat. After that, the first thing she did was to drink a toast to her small boat, the very special lady. This lady carried her safely through many storms on her long journey and she loved it.
Gloria is really a brave woman. She has become the tenth woman in the world to row across the Atlantic. Like the others, she has experienced great joys and terrible things. But a brave person is not always brave, "Sometimes I wanted more than anything to be warm and dry in bed and safe from the storm around me. I wanted to stop being brave," she said.
61. When did Gloria's husband leave her? It was _________.
A. on 7 October, 2007 B. on 26 January, 2008

62. When she reached Barbados, _________.
A. Gloria thanked her husband B. Gloria felt sad to leave her boat

63. What does "the very special lady" mean?_________.

64. Which of the following is similar in meaning to the sentence "A brave person is not always brave.” __________?
A. She was not willing to leave her boat, her close friend
B. Her husband became very afraid of the huge ocean and left her
C. She fought against the big waves and strong winds, and her own fears
D. Sometimes she wanted to be warm and dry and to stop being brave

第一部分： 阅读表达（每小题2分，共10分）
阅读下面的短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到相应的位置上。
Exercise is often suggested for sleeping difficulties, and it does have a beneficial effect. However, experts say the influence is not immediate, and can take up some time to take effect.
Dr. Kelly Baron said: "If you have insomnia（失眠），you won't exercise yourself into sleep right away. It's a long-term job. You have to keep at it and not get discouraged."
Dr. Baron decided to carry out her own research after hearing her patients with insomnia complain that the exercise didn't help them right away. She said: "They'd say, ' I exercised so hard yesterday and didn't sleep at all'. It's thought that exercise improves sleep, but I thought it probably wasn't that simple for people with insomnia.
Most previous studies have been carried out on healthy sleepers. Dr. Baron's research is the first one. She looked at the data from older women with insomnia over a 16-week period. She said: "People have to realize that even if they don't want to exercise, that's the time they need to dig in their heels (决不妥协) and get themselves out there. The key message was persistence(坚持). Write a note on your mirror saying ' Just Do It!', and you can see wonders in four months. Most importantly, it will help in the long run." Dr. Baron also warned that insomnia could also make people less willing to exercise.
Rather than medicine treatments, exercise may be a healthier way to improve sleep because it could address the potential（潜在的) problems. This study shows exercise and sleep affect each other in both directions: regular long-term exercise is good for sleep, but poor sleep can also lead to less exercise. So in the end, sleep still works better as far as health is concerned.
66. What advice did Dr. Baron give people with insomnia? (no more than 8 words)
_____________________________________________________________________
67. What's special about Dr. Baron's research?( no more than 10 words)
_____________________________________________________________________
68. How long does it take to see the effect of exercise on sleep? (no more than 3 words)
_____________________________________________________________________
69. What does the underlined word "address" mean? ( no more than 2 words)

70. Do you have trouble in sleeping? If so, what will you do to help sleep? ( no more than 25 words.)

Good afternoon, everyone!
The topic……
Living in an environment full of fierce competition, we , a generation born in the 90s, are faced with more difficulties, problems and competition. In this case, we are deverloping our special manners and values, which has raised people's concern.
The worry that we care too much about ourselves and are unwilling to cooperate with others, which makes it hard for us to achieve success. Besides, they consider us as lacking in determination (strong will), often feeling frustrated and easily giving up. They are also concerned that we don't have clear goals. Some are eager to win instant fame and follow fashion blindly.
However, we have our own advantages despite some weaknesses. Firstly, we have the courage to meet challenges and take risks, which help realize our dreams. In addition, we are quick- minded and creative, and we can work efficiently. Yet, we still need to learn more from those experienced. Do please trust us!
Thanks for your listening!

A
When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.
After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (地道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.
On the fifth day a tragedy (悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.
Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.
Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work.
But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity(逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.
Giving up, I say, is not a good choice.

Jimmy is an automotive mechanic(技工), but he lost his job a few months ago. He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre（轮胎) of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applications waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.
56. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job? A. He was out of work B. He was bored with his job C. He wanted a higher position D. He hoped to find a better boss
57. What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview? A. A friend’s car had a flat tyre B. a wild man was pushing a car C. a terrible accident happened D. an old man’s car broke down
58. Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride? A. He was also to be interviewed B. He needed a traveling companion C. He always helped people in need D. He was thankful to Jimmy
59. How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer’s question? A. He was sorry for the other applicants
B. There was no hope for him to get the job C. He regretted helping the old man
D. The interviewer was very rude

Gloria arrived in Barbados on 26 January, 2008 after rowing * across the Atlantic for three months and a half. Gloria was in one of 36 small wooden rowing boats that set off on 7 October, 2007 from Tenerife Island on the Atlantic Rowing Challenge Race. Each boat was exactly the same design and each one had food for the journey. There were two people in each boat and their challenge was to row across the Atlantic, a journey of about 3.360 kilometers.
Gloria began the journey with her husband in a small boat. However, after 14 days he became very afraid of the huge ocean and was not able to go on, so he left her with the help of a helping boat.

So, for the next hundred days, she rowed her small boat alone and fought against the waves and the winds, and her own fears.
When she finally arrived in Barbados, Gloria was not willing to leave her boat although her husband and family were there to greet her. She sat so long in the boat that she could hardly stand, her husband had to carry her off the boat. After that, the first thing she did was to drink a toast to her small boat, the very special lady. This lady carried her safely through many storms on her long journey and she loved it.
Gloria is really a brave woman. She has become the tenth woman in the world to row across the Atlantic. Like the others, she has experienced great joys and terrible things.

阅读下面的短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到相应的位置上。
Exercise is often suggested for sleeping difficulties, and it does have a beneficial effect. However, experts say the influence is not immediate, and can take up some time to take effect.
Dr. Kelly Baron said: "If you have insomnia（失眠），you won't exercise yourself into sleep right away. It's a long-term job. You have to keep at it and not get discouraged."
Dr. Baron decided to carry out her own research after hearing her patients with insomnia complain that the exercise didn't help them right away. She said: "They'd say, ' I exercised so hard yesterday and didn't sleep at all'. It's thought that exercise improves sleep, but I thought it probably wasn't that simple for people with insomnia.
Most previous studies have been carried out on healthy sleepers. Dr. Baron's research is the first one. She looked at the data from older women with insomnia over a 16-week period. She said: "People have to realize that even if they don't want to exercise, that's the time they need to dig in their heels (决不妥协) and get themselves out there. The key message was persistence(坚持). Write a note on your mirror saying ' Just Do It!', and you can see wonders in four months. Most importantly, it will help in the long run." Dr. Baron also warned that insomnia could also make people less willing to exercise.
Rather than medicine treatments, exercise may be a healthier way to improve sleep because it could address the potential（潜在的) problems. This study shows exercise and sleep affect each other in both directions: regular long-term exercise is good for sleep, but poor sleep can also lead to less exercise. So in the end, sleep still works better as far as health is concerned.
66. What advice did Dr. Baron give people with insomnia? (no more than 8 words)

Good afternoon, everyone!
The topic……
Living in an environment full of fierce competition, we , a generation born in the 90s, are faced with more difficulties, problems and competition. In this case, we are deverloping our special manners and values, which has raised people's concern.
The worry that we care too much about ourselves and are unwilling to cooperate with others, which makes it hard for us to achieve success. Besides, they consider us as lacking in determination (strong will), often feeling frustrated and easily giving up. They are also concerned that we don't have clear goals. Some are eager to win instant fame and follow fashion blindly.
However, we have our own advantages despite some weaknesses. Firstly, we have the courage to meet challenges and take risks, which help realize our dreams. In addition, we are quick- minded and creative, and we can work efficiently. Yet, we still need to learn more from those experienced. Do please trust us!
Thanks for your listening!
