Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
Town twinning is also known as partnering towns or sister cities.It refers to the idea of pairing cities across the world as a way to build human and cultural links(联系) among nations.The first official(官方的) town twinning happened in 1930 between the cities of Klagenfurt，Austria and Wiesbaden，Germany.However，town twinning actually didn't become popular until after WWⅡ.
Developed in Europe as a way of creating friendship and understanding between the countries suffering from the war，town twinning quickly spread outside Europe as well. In 1944，Vancouver became the first city to be paired with a transatlantic(横渡大西洋的) sister city，when it was linked to Odessa，in Ukraine.The pairing was a great way for both cities to provide support to each other during the war.
Town twinning is considered so important that the European Union spends about 12 million Euros a year to support it.This often leads to cultural exchange，trades and student exchanges.
Town twinning often pairs cities with a lot in common，such as similar population，same names，or similar development problems.For example，Toledo，Spain and Toledo，America，are twin cities.Certain countries have preferences when choosing cities.For example,50 percent of the town twinnings founded in the United Kingdom are with France.
There're no agreed rules as to the number of town twinnings a city can have.For example，the city of Las Vegas has only one town twinning，pairing with Banes，Cuba.On the other hand，New York City has fifteen twin cities：Tokyo，Beijing，Cairo，Rome，Sydney，London，and so on.
Town twinning is a very popular system with students and young people，as youth clubs，junior colleges，and voluntary groups often organize exchanges between the paired cities.Most cities have a town twinning association，which deals with anything that has to do with exchanges between the sister cities.
36．In the beginning，most sister cities were created to ________.
A．fight against the war B．develop their trade
C．support each other D．rebuild their cities
37．According to the text，the European Union ________.
A．tries to prevent town twinning
B．cares little about town twinning
C．mainly encourages links between the UK and France
D．supports town twinning very much
38．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A．How to increase town twinnings.
B．How to choose a sister city.
C．The problems of town twinning.
D．The history of town twinning.
39．Which of the following are NOT twin cities?
A．Toledo，Spain and Toledo，America
B．Las Vegas，America and Banes，Cuba
C．Beijing，China and New York，America
D．Sydney，Australia and Tokyo，Japan
B
People celebrate birthdays in almost every country on earth.And they celebrate them in many different ways.
In China and Japan，for example，the arrival of New Year is more important than a person's birthday.So everyone adds a year to their ages on New Year's Day，instead of on their birthdays.
In Brazil，the special birthday food isn't cake，but special candles.In China，it's long noodles for long life.In Iceland，people have pancakes with candies rolled inside on birthdays.
In Britain，a birthday is an all-day celebration.At school，the birthday child is lifted up and “bumped” by his classmates.This means the child is lifted by the feet and arms and bumped to the ground，once for each year and once for good growth.In Israel，the same custom is followed，except that the birthday person is lifted and lowered while sitting in a chair.
In Holland，children not only get presents，but they give things out. They give cakes，cookies and candles to their classmates and teachers on their birthdays.
In Mexico，it's good luck to give birthday greetings as early in the day as possible.So it's usual for the birthday child to be woken up at mid-night by friends singing birthday songs.In India，birthday celebrations also begin before dawn.Prayers and blessings must be said before morning comes.
In Thailand，two tall candles are lighted the night before a birthday.One is as tall as the birthday person.If it goes out early，it's bad luck.Another custom of Thailand is that they buy live fish and birds for the birthday person and then the birthday person frees the animals，and it brings good luck.
In Nigeria，everyone in a certain age group celebrates their birthdays together，on a certain day.
In many countries birthday customs are changing.Old customs are giving way to Western style of birthdays，with candle-topped cakes.But one thing never changes－birthdays are especial days for everyone!

Though Elena Desserich died at the age of six，she left behind an amazing gift for her family：a series of hidden(隐藏的) love notes.
Elena was a beautiful girl with long hair and a sweet smile.She loved to draw，paint，and write.And most of all，she loved her parents and her little sister，Gracie.Elena had dreamed of becoming an artist when she grew up－but sadly，she never had the chance to reach adulthood.When Elena was only five years old，she was diagnosed (诊断) with brain cancer.
“They told us at the very beginning that she had 135 days to live，”Elena's father，Keith Desscrich，told WLWT News.Elena and her family made the most of that time.She spent the long days in the hospital working on her paintings，which were full of hearts and smiling families.One of her artworks was displayed in a local gallery in Cincinnati，right next to a Picasso painting.As the disease became worse and she lost the use of her voice，she began to communicate with her family by writing notes.
Up until the very end，she wanted nothing more than to be with her family：Just days before her death，she danced with her father.
Not long after her death，Elena's parents were sorting through (整理) her things when they began to find notes that she had written to them.“They would be in between CDs or between books on our bookshelf，”said Keith.All through her final days，Elena had been writing love notes to her family，and hiding them in secret places throughout the house.
“We started to collect them and they would all say ‘I love you Mom，Dad and Grace.’We kept finding them，and still to this day，we keep finding them.”
44.Elena must have been pleased ________.
A．with her sister's special gift for her
B．with the notes her parents wrote to her
C．at her behavior's being reported on WLWT News
D．at her painting's being displayed next to a Picasso painting
45．Elena's parents knew that ________.
A．her disease would take away her life
B．she could realize her dream in the future
C．she had hidden some notes in the hospital
D．her teacher and classmates would help her
46．Elena wrote notes ________.
A．because she loved hiding things
B．in order to make herself feel better
C．because she could not speak any more
D．so that she could draw pictures on them
47．The story mainly tells us ________.
A．how Elena lived with disease
B．how Elena spent her last days
C．how Elena fought against the disease

D
Two billion children in the developing world can't receive good education－the key to human development.However，technology offers an answer which allows the poor in developing countries to learn.It is a tool which holds the ability to change the lives of the poor，as it provides a means of learning and communicating.
Educational programs must break away from old systems.New companies such as One Laptop(笔记本电脑)Per Child(OLPC)，an organization founded by MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte have been active in solving the world's education problem.
The Internet has changed the world，allowing educational services to help with the global fight against poverty.Khan Academy is one such service.Like OLPC，it is an organization founded by Harvard Business School graduate Salman Khan with the task of “providing a world-class education to anyone，anywhere”．The education offered includes a large number of math-related topics.
The GMAT Pill Review is another company that trains MBA candidates(应考人) worldwide to prepare for the GMAT exam on both the Quant and Verbal section.Founded by Stanford graduate Zeke Lee, the company offers services which are priced at about 75% less than other similar programs.It allows students from developing countries who might not be able to afford similar courses to have access to these services.
Whether paid or free these services provide educational opportunities to those who would never have had the chance in the past.As a result of the technology revolution(革新)，business schools may see more students from different corners of the world.Because of the Internet，people in developing nations have access to better and more affordable educational opportunities.More and more people will try to improve their lives through educational opportunities outside of their homeland－an idea usually uncommon in developing countries.
48．According to the text，technology can ________.
A．improve people's reading ability
B．solve the problems facing the whole world
C．help the poor to reduce poverty
D．cause poverty in developing countries
49．We can learn from the text that Khan Academy aims to ________.
A．help the poor pay for good courses
B．provide every child with a computer
C．help train MBA candidates
D．make everyone receive good education
50．Why did the author write the text?
A．To introduce some organizations in developed countries to help developing countries by technology.
B．To explain why education and technology revolution are very important to developing countries.
C．To describe relationships between developed countries and developing countries.
D．To show how educational programs in developed countries are started.

Smile is an attitude towards life. In our life, there may be anything unpleasant. For example, you fail an exam, or you are misunderstood by your friends. Those unpleasant things may make you feel badly. Then what will you do if you will meet unpleasant things? Why not learning to smile? First, learn to smile at ourselves.

【参考范文】
Since I came to America，I really have enjoyed living here，for I am responsible for everything myself and able to push myself forward.Actually，the life here is very different from that in my country.
Firstly，in my country，you don't have to worry about your educational plan，for teachers are always concerned about your future.However，learning is my own business here.Everything is controlled by myself，if I want to get a good job.
Secondly，I should spare time to do something such as going to supermarkets to buy some food.And I have to deal with my lunch and dinner in my daily life.Furthermore，I should wash my clothes and clear up my room.So I have to make a plan and have good schedules every day.On the other hand，I can't rely on my mother or my father.I have to do my part.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A new World Bank report warns that children who do not get enough good food in the first two years of life suffer lasting damage.They may be underdeveloped or under-weight.They may suffer from poor health or limited intelligence.Besides，these children are more likely to drop out of school and earn less money as adults.
The report notes that too little food is not the only cause of poor nutrition.Many children who live in homes with plenty of food suffer for other reasons.
The study also connects malnutrition(营养不良) to economic growth in poor countries.A lack of nutrition in early childhood can cost developing nations up to three percent of their yearly earnings.Many of these countries have same economic problems that are growing at a rate of two to three percent yearly.The study suggests that poor countries could possibly double their economic growth if they improved nutrition.
Africa and South Asia are affected the most by poor nutrition.The study says about half of all children in India do not get enough good food.The World Bank study also notes that rates of malnutrition in South Asia are almost double those in central and southern Africa. Other parts of the world are also seriously affected, including Indonesia，Uzbekistan，Yemen，Guatemala and Peru.
The study recommends that developing countries change their ways to deal with malnutrition.Instead of directly providing food, the study suggests educational programs in health and nutrition for mothers with young babies.It also recommends cleaner living conditions and improvements in health care.
The World Bank nutrition specialist Meera Shekar said the period of life between pregnancy (怀孕) and two years is very important.Governments should take direct action to improve nutrition for children during this period.

Brazil has become one of the developing world's great successes in reducing population growth－but more by accident than design.While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates，Brazil has had better result without really trying，says George Martine at Harvard.
Brazil's population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average.Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990，an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.
Martine puts_it_down to，among other things，soap operas and installment(分期付款) plans introduced in the 1970s. Both played an important，although indirect，role in lowering the birth rate.Brazil is one of the world's biggest producers of soap operas.Globo，Brazil's most popular television network，shows three hours of soaps six nights a week，while three others show at least one hour a night.Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.
“Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction(生育)，they describe middle and upper class values－not many children，different attitudes towards sex，women working，”says Martine.“They sent this message to all parts of Brazil and made people realize other patterns of family life and other values，which were put into a very attractive package.”
Meanwhile，the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to be come consumers. “This led to change in consumption(消费) patterns and consumption did not get along well with unlimited reproduction，”says Martine.
1．The underlined phrase “puts it down to” is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．considers the cause of it to be
B．finds it a reason for
C．looks it on as
D．compares it to
2．Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil's birth rate because ________.
A．they keep people sitting long hours watching TV
B．they have gradually changed people's way of life
C．people are drawn to their attractive package
D．they make birth control measures popular
3．What is Martine's conclusion about Brazil's population growth?
A．The increase in birth rate will increase consumption.
B．The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.
C．Consumption patterns and reproduction patterns are contradictory.
D．A country's production is limited by its population growth.
4．Which is the BEST title of the passage?
A．Brazil：the developing world's success
B．Soap Operas And Installment Plans
C．Brazil：reducing birth rate by accident
D．Learn from Brazil, one of the Third World Countries

Robert Freddy was general manager of a large hotel in Ashbury Park，New Jersey.One cold day two years ago when he stopped his car at a traffic light，Stephen Pearman，an out-of-work taxi and truck driver，walked up to Freddy's car hoping to earn some change by washing his windshield (挡风玻璃)．Like many motorists who try to keep the beggars off，Freddy turned on the wipers to show he wasn't interested.
Pearman put his head close to the window.“Come on，mister.Give me a chance.I need a job，”he said.Something in Stephen Pearman's voice moved Robert Freddy.In the seconds before traffic started moving again，Freddy handed Pearman a business card and told him to call if he was serious.
“My friends told me he was just pulling my leg，”said Pearman.“But I said，‘No，he's a businessman.I need to give it a shot.”
Two days later,29-year-old Pearman appeared in the manager's office of the big hotel.Freddy gave him a job and housing and lent him pocket money while training him.
Today Pearman works full time setting up the hotel's dining halls for business meetings.In the past two years，he has found a flat，married and repaid Freddy's loans.
“Mr.Freddy gave me a second chance，”says Pearman，“And I took advantage of it.I could have just come here a while，eaten up and left.But there is no future in washing windshields.”
Ordinarily，Freddy keeps away from the street people.“But Pearman seemed so honest and open，asking for a chance rather than just money，”Freddy says，“I don't hand my business card to just anybody.But I'm glad I did in this case.”
