三、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
When I first moved to the US, it was very hard for me to understand a friendly chat or conversation. There were a lot of words that were quite unfamiliar to me. They were just common words, but the only difference was the actual meaning and their usage. We are used to different sets of words in other parts of the world due to British English influence. Though this has been changing a lot in recent times, I would like to share with you some of the common words used here and what I felt were different. It took me a while to catch up very basic words that Americans use in day-to-day conversations and I am still learning new words every day!
Usually in India, we say, “Can I get my stuff in a plastic cover?” Here in the US, people say, “Can I get a bag for the stuff?”
We are used to saying I am a non-vegetarian, but in the US people might get lost. You have to say, “I eat meat or chicken.” When you go to a restaurant, if you are a vegetarian, you should say, “NO Meat or Chicken”; otherwise, you may find interesting stuff as a vegetarian in your food.
Americans consider association football (英式足球) to be a kids’ sport. People say soccer when they refer to actual football. In Europe and other parts of the world we call football, but here in the US they say it soccer.
Typically in the restaurant after you are done with a meal, you ask for a check not a bill in the US from the waiter. No one uses “lift” here; it is “elevator”. Any shop is called store. We often get confused when Americans use “bike”. It means “bicycle”. If you want to take a bath, people say, “I need to take a shower.”
36. The author couldn’t easily understand a friendly conversation in the US because 　　　.
A. he is not good at oral English
B. words used in their talks are usually uncommon
C. American English has changed a lot in recent times
D. there are differences between British English and American English
37. Which of the following groups of words is most likely to be said by an American?
A. Waiter, get my stuff in a plastic cover, please.
B. Is there anything wrong with the lift?
C. Would you like to watch the soccer match this afternoon?
D. It is so great to go traveling across the country on a bicycle!
38. It can be inferred from the passage that 　　　.
A. just common words are used in day-to-day conversations
B. English spoken in India is mostly influenced by British English
C. British English is different from American English in all words
D. English in European countries is mostly influenced by American English
39. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To share some of his funny experiences.
B. To tell us that language is always changing.
C. To tell us that English spreads widely in the world.
D. To introduce some differences between British English and American English.

Homework and exams can cause lots of stress and worry for people. What’s worse, homework worry and exam stress can be difficult to overcome. But talking about them can help.
Doing homework might seem like you’ll never come to the end of it, and it can be especially tough if you are having problems with understanding your homework or you don’t know what you are supposed to do. Not understanding something at first does not mean you are dull or stupid. So, you don’t need to feel ashamed to show that you don’t understand your homework. Everyone learns in different ways and you have to find a way that suits you. Not telling anyone won’t make it any better.
Talk to your parents or teacher about how you feel and ask them to explain it to you. They are there to help you and want you to do well. Although it might be scary, they should be able to help you understand it better and find a way of working that suits you. Instead of asking in front of everyone else, you can talk to your teacher privately.
There can be a lot of pressure on young people to do well in exams which can cause exam stress. All the revision (复习) you need to do might seem impossible. There are things you can do to make it a bit easier and feel better about everything that you have to do.
If you are worried about anything, talk to your school teacher or your parents about how you feel and don’t be ashamed to ask for help. There is nothing wrong with being worried about exams; it’s very normal. Remember, exams are important — but they are not the only key to a successful future.
40. According to the passage, homework worry and exam stress 　　　.
A. are difficult to describe B. need much effort to deal with
C. are impossible to control D. make young people give up
41. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to “　　　”.
A. time spent doing homework B. too much homework
C. taking an exam D. doing homework
42. The writer thinks that a student not understanding something at first 　　　.
A. sounds unusual B. is quite normal
C. happens to dull students only D. is a shameful experience
43. Young students are advised to 　　　.
A. go over all they have learnt before an exam
B. ask their classmates for help
C. talk to their teacher about their problems in class
D. find their own ways of studying
C
Back when our children were small, who could have imagined what life would hold for them: pressures surrounding alcohol, drugs, choices, and consequences. We recognize that our children’s need for independence grows as they do. And talking about touchy (棘手的) subjects can be especially difficult when teens tend to tune us out.
Driving a teen to meet his/her friends may seem like just another unpleasant thing, unless you recognize it as an opportunity to talk. Of course, you may have to get the conversation going. If you worry about losing control of the conversation, try to do something you both enjoy together, like cooking, hiking, or going to a concert or museum.
“Before I discuss topics like alcohol or drugs with my son,” one father says, “I do a little homework. Often it’s as simple as checking the phone book for hotlines or asking my doctor to recommend some pamphlets (小册子). If my son is not willing to discuss a touchy subject, I can still give him a number to call or an article to read. And, of course, I tell him I’m always available if he needs my help.”
Don’t start a personal attack or hold a family conference to open a dialogue on a tough subject. No matter how serious the subject is, it’s important not to be heavy-handed or much focus on your child.
Say you’ve read an article or heard about a troubling situation from a colleague or a friend. Share this information with your teenager; then ask his/her opinion rather than offering yours. Suppose you’re discussing AIDS, and you can arouse your children’s interest by asking: Do you believe it can’t happen to you? Do your friends discuss AIDS among themselves? What are some strategies to stay safe? When a teen feels that the two of you are exploring a subject together, he/she is likely to share his/her own thoughts.
44. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To explain what tough subjects involve.
B. To offer tips on how to talk about tough subjects.
C. To show the importance of tough subjects.
D. To give some examples of tough subjects.
45. In the first paragraph, the underlined part “tune us out” can be explained as “　　　”.
A. go along well with us B. rely much on us
C. understand what we said D. pay no attention to what we said
46. According to the passage, the father mentioned may agree that 　　　.
A. parents should do certain research before talking about a serious subject with their children
B. parents should avoid talking about such topics as alcohol and drugs with their children
C. children should turn to their parents first if they need any help
D. children should see a doctor or read a book if they meet with big heath problems
47. As for a tough subject, parents should avoid 　　　.
A. talking much about their children’s friends
B. sharing information with all their family members
C. choosing the formal way to communicate with their children
D. being curious about their children’s opinions
D
Louis Pasteur was a world-famous French chemist and biologist.
He is particularly famous for his work on rabies vaccine (狂犬病疫苗). The rabies virus enters the body through the bite of an infected animal or through infected saliva (唾液) entering an existing wound. After experimenting with the saliva of animals suffering from the disease, Pasteur concluded that the disease rests in the central nervous system of the body. By studying the tissues of infected animals — rabbits, Pasteur was able to produce a form of the virus. This could be used for inoculation (接种).
On July 6, 1885, Pasteur tested his pioneering rabies vaccine on a man for the first time. He saved the life of a young man called Joseph Meister who had been bitten by a rabid dog. Pasteur was urged to treat him with his new method. The treatment lasted 10 days and at the end he recovered and remained healthy. Since then thousands have been saved by this treatment.
On March 1886, Pasteur was invited to present his results to the Academy of Sciences and in 1888 went on to found the Pasteur Institute in Paris. This was a pioneering clinic for the study of infectious diseases, the treatment of rabies and a centre for teaching. Pasteur directed the institute personally until he died. The Pasteur Institute is still one of the most important centers in the world.
Pasteur became a national hero and was honored in many ways. He died at Saint-Cloud on September 28, 1895 and was given a state funeral at the Cathedral of Notre Dame.
Modifications (修改) of the Pasteur method are still used in rabies treatment today. A newer vaccine which contains virus prepared from human cells grown in the laboratory is safer and requires a shorter course of injections.
48. A person can develop rabies 　　　.
A. if he is bitten by a rabbit B. if he touches infected saliva
C. if infected saliva enters his wounds
D. if he touches an infected animal
49. Rabies probably can destroy a person’s 　　　.
A. nervous system B. blood C. skin D. saliva
50. What can we learn about Pasteur’s test of his vaccine on the man?
A. The man was sent to a clinic ten days later.
B. It didn’t save the man’s life.
C. It proved to be a great success.
D. The man was his second patient.
51. After Pasteur died, the Pasteur Institute 　　　.
A. worked much better than before
B. worked well until today
C. continued to be in business for many years
D. became the most important centre in the world

Millions of Americans return from long-distance trips by air, but their baggage doesn’t always come home with them. The airlines collect the items and, for 90 days, try to find their owners. If they have no luck, they are left holding the bags of thousands of travelers. They don’t keep them, since they’re not in the warehouse business. And by law, they cannot sell the bags, because the airlines might be attracted to deliberately (故意地) misplace baggage.
So once insurance companies have paid for lost bags and their contents, and they no longer belong to passengers, a unique store in the little town of Scottsboro, Alabama, buys them.
The Unclaimed (无人认领的) Baggage Center has turned little Scottsboro in Alabama into a tourist place. It is so popular that the building, which is set up like a department store, is the number-one tourist attraction in all of Alabama. More than one million visitors stop in each year and take one of the store’s noisy shopping carts on a hunt for treasures.
The Unclaimed Baggage Center has unique items lost by travelers, and whole bags of items found in shipments that for some reason never got delivered. You can find everything from valuable jewels to hockey sticks, best-selling novels, leather jackets, tape recorders, surfboards, even half-used tubes of toothpaste.
The store’s own laundry (洗衣店) washes or dry-cleans all the clothes found in baggage, and then sells them. Do you need a wedding dress? There are a lot of beautiful lost and unclaimed ones.
The Unclaimed Baggage Center has found guns, illegal drugs — even a live rattlesnake — inside bags. The store has a little museum where some of its most unusual things have been preserved. They even include a burial mask from an Egyptian pharaoh’s tomb.
52. According to the text, the lost baggage .
A. will be sent to the poor people in Scottsboro
B. is the result of airlines’ poor management
C. can be got back by the owners at any time
D. is kept by the airlines for about three months
53. Why are the airlines not allowed to sell the lost baggage?
A. Because they are not in the warehouse business.
B. Because there are some illegal items in the baggage.
C. Because the airlines might wrongly deal with baggage on purpose.
D. Because the lost baggage belongs to insurance companies.
54. It can be inferred from the text that the Unclaimed Baggage Center .
A. is crowded with passengers looking for their baggage
B. becomes the largest department store in Alabama
C. is run by the airlines and insurance companies
D. helps the tourism in Alabama develop greatly
55. The items in the Unclaimed Baggage Center .
A. will be sold at half prices B. are not all from passengers
C. are all second-hand products D. are mainly bought by foreign visitors

In our daily life, when something unpleasant happens, we should learn to smile to ourselves rather than face it negatively. Facing unfavorable situations, we should look at things in a positive way. Only in this way can we feel hopeful and try to seek solutions. By trying hard, we’ll be able to overcome the difficulty to achieve our goals.
Smiling to face life is really a positive attitude, which is what we all need to succeed in life.

Dear London Olympic Committee,
I’m Li Bing and I’m seventeen years old. I’m writing to apply for a job as a volunteer in the 2012 London Olympic Games and work as a reporter. Now I’m studying in No. 2 High School Senior Two. I like to make friends because I’m very outgoing and lively. Basketball and swimming are my favorite sports. Taking part in sports helps me have a keen mind to report something with great speed and have a strong body to work day and night. I once won the second prize in the English speech contest in our city when I was fourteen. I even got the first prize in the oral English competition of our Province when I was fifteen. If I get the job, I will work hard and try to make contributions to the 2012 London Olympic Games.
I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Bing
