Text 10
There was once a farmer who lived near a road. It was not a busy road, but sometimes, cars passed the farm. Near the farm gate, there was a large hole in the road. This hole was always full of water, and the drivers of the cars could not see how deep the hole was.
Then when they drove into the hole, they could not drive out because it was so deep. The farmer did not spend much time working on his farm. He spent most of it watching the hole. When a car drove into it, he pulled the car out with his tractor and asked the driver for a lot of money for doing it. One day, the driver of a car said to him, “You must make a lot of money by pulling cars out of this hole night and day.”
“No, no,” the farmer said, “I don't pull cars out of the hole at night. At night I fill the hole with water.”

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分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
A young man named Matt Vongsykeo, 14, has saved a baby from the wreckage (残骸) of a car. The four-month-old baby boy, found hanging in his capsule(襁褓) when Mr. Vongsykeo climbed into the car in Melbourne's Springvale, escaped serious injury and was taken to hospital.
But the child's 33-year-old mother, from Endeavour Hills, died in hospital following last night's high speed crash, which left three other people injured.
A car on the wrong side of the road is thought to have been traveling at well over 100kph when it hit three other vehicles. Mr. Vongsykeo said he heard the crash from his house and found a Holden_Jackaroo rushed against a brick wall. He heard a baby crying.
“There were two grown men standing outside the car and they couldn't get in, so I had to climbed in and get the baby out.” he said. “I had to do it quickly because there was a window below me and I was afraid that was going to break.”
Mr. Vongsykeo told how he took out the baby in his arms and called to see if there was anyone else in the car. He found the baby's mother unconscious.
“I thought she was dead so I just rushed out.” he said. “She entered consciousness later on and I went around and started talking to her and getting her to talk to me and stay with me.”
He said he comforted the mother and told her that her baby was safe.
Mr. Vongsykeo refused the idea that he was a hero.
“I've lived 14 years, if something had happened to me ... I've lived 14 years. That baby hasn't and I wanted to give that baby a chance.”
56.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Woman Lost Her Life in a Car Crash
B. A Traffic Accident in Springvale
C. Young Man Saved Baby after Car Crash
D. A Young Man Did What He Should Do
答案与解析 C 主旨大意题。文章一开始就提出了主要内容:一个少年从车祸现场救了一位襁褓中的婴儿,下文是对其的详细叙述,故C项作为标题最合适。
57.When Mr. Vongsykeo found the car, the baby boy________.
A. was dying in the car
B. had fallen onto the ground
C. was hanging in his capsule
D. was injured badly
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“found hanging in his capsule”可知,当时这个小孩正悬挂在他的襁褓里。另外,由第一段可知,当时这个小孩并没有受严重的伤。故答案选C项。
58.The underlined words “Holden Jackaroo” in the third paragraph refer to________.
A. the woman's car
B. the woman's name
C. Mr. Vongsykeo's baby
D. Mr. Vongsykeo's car
答案与解析 A 词义猜测题。本文第三段提到“he heard the crash from his house and found a Holden Jackaroo rushed against a brick wall”,这说明是车撞击的声音,而下文又提到Mr. Vongsykeo从车中救出那个小孩。所以这应该指的是那个女的所开的车。故答案选A项。
59.Why did the other two men not go to save the baby?
A.Because there was a broken window.
B. Because they were afraid of death.
C. Because they made the accident happen.
D. Because it was difficult for them to enter the car.
答案与解析 D 细节理解题。文章第四段提到“they couldn't get in”,这说明这两个大人很难进入这辆车的里面,因此,不得不由这个小男孩来救。故答案选D项。
60.According to the text, we know that Matt Vongsykeo was________.
A. shy B. brave
C. proud D. worried
答案与解析 B 推理判断题。由文章对小孩救人的情况的介绍可知Mr. Vongsykeo是非常勇敢的。
B
American scientists have developed the first material that repairs itself. The material is a kind of plastic that has been engineered to fill breaks in its surface.
Plastics are used today in everything from airplane wings to hundreds of objects found at home. Scientists wanted to find a way to make objects made of plastic last longer. The researchers hope their new discovery can be used to make objects that are difficult or impossible to replace.
The surface of plastic objects breaks over time. Very small breaks develop every time a plastic object is used. The researchers wanted to find out how to stop plastic from developing small breaks that weaken and destroy it. They found the answer in the chemical structure of plastic itself.
Plastic is made of monomers. These monomers link together to form polymers. Polymers give plastic its ability to be shaped and its strength. The research team found a way to make plastic that contains very small balloons filled with monomer liquid. When the new plastic cracks, the monomer liquid is let out and flows into the crack. Thus the break is repaired. The repaired plastic has seventy-five percent of the strength of undamaged plastic.
The new self-repairing plastic is not yet ready for production. But it has several possible uses. One could be in space vehicles where parts cannot be repaired or replaced. Another possible use might be in bridges. And it could be used in people, to replace bone joints that have become broken or damaged.
61.We know from the passage that the repair is done as________.
A. the cracked plastic parts are changed
B. the plastic is made
C. the liquid is put into the plastic cracks
D. the plastic cracks
答案与解析 D 细节理解题。从第四段“When the new plastic cracks, the monomer liquid is let out and flows into the crack. Thus the break is repaired.”一句可知。
62.The scientists are planning to use the new material in space vehicles, bridges and people because________.
A. the plastic parts in them are required to last longer
B. the plastic parts in them are easily broken or damaged
C. the new material cannot be used elsewhere
D. they want to experiment in these places first
答案与解析 A 细节理解题。从第二段第二句“Scientists wanted to find a way to make objects made of plastic last longer.”可知。
63.What can we know about the new material talked about in the passage?
A. It is a kind of liquid that is commonly used.
B. It is more difficult to make than common plastics.
C. Its surface does not crack so easily as other ones.
D. It makes it difficult or impossible to replace plastic objects.
答案与解析 B 推理判断题。从最后一段第一句可知,目前这种材料正在研究之中,还没有投入生产,由此可推断它比普通塑料更难制造。
C

English native speakers are not exactly the masters of language learning in Europe — but do they get a chance? Compare two weekly hours at secondary school in Britain to five hours in continental (大陆的) Europe. Whenever English native speakers come to the continent, we are all too happy to make them the victims of our desire to practise our English. It is only too understandable that they feel put_off when they ask politely in French or German and then get an answer in English.

You're wrong. It is estimated (估计) that in a few years Wales will be fully able to use two languages.
— Sent by: Sionyn
Language is taught very badly in British schools. When I lived in Israel all the Arabic speaking kids learned Hebrew from six years onwards and all Hebrew speakers learned Arabic from six years onwards. All kids started English at the age of eight. Most people, however, were exposed to other language, too.
— Sent by: Hlz
Yes, I couldn't agree more! In the curriculum(课程) we aren't exposed to enough French. At the moment I've decided to learn online. One thing I think we lack is learning it at a much younger age and not being taught the basics, the key words that help build the language. Instead we are taught phrases which most of the time aren't even used that much.
— Sent by: James
It's a shame that languages are no longer compulsory (义务的) in UK. They were when I was in school a few years back, but even then they were limited to only French and German. I had to take after school classes to learn the language I was interested in. Some schools, however, are offering “non-traditional” languages such as Mandarin and Japanese. I think it helps to learn a language from a younger age.

67.Who puts forward the topic for the text?
A. Sionyn. B. Lou.
C. Bettina. D. Hlz.
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。根据文章,后面几个人的观点都是围绕第一个人的观点展开的,即:英国人缺乏学习和练习外语的机会。故答案选C项。
68.The underlined phrase “put off” in Paragraph 1 means________.
A. happy B. satisfied
C. uneasy D. angry
答案与解析 C 词义猜测题。当英国人给人家说法语或者德语的时候,结果人家直接用英语进行交谈,自己并没有练到法语或者德语,因此,就会觉得被动和尴尬。
69.According to James, ________.
A. key words are the basics
B. he is learning German online at home
C. French doesn't need phrases
D. we should be old enough to learn languages
答案与解析 A 细节理解题。根据James的观点,我们应该在很小的时候学外语,并且学单词要比短语更重要,但是,并不是说法语就不学短语。故答案选A项。
70.Who supports Hlz's opinion?
A. Bettina. B. Sionyn.
C. Lou. D. James.
答案与解析 D 细节理解题。从James的观点来看,他所赞同的应该是Hlz所指出的英国学校外语学习的不好的形势——学生缺少更多的机会去学习外语。由James观点中的第一句也可得出答案。
71.The text is most probably taken from________.
A. a newspaper B. a web page
C. an ad D. a travel guide
答案与解析 B 推理判断题。这篇文章是关于一个观点的争论和自己的看法,所以应该属于网络上的论坛之类。

Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism (批评) from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win,can create an extra anxiety for young athletes. Stress (压力) can lead to tiredness.
The sport is one where one can take valuable experiences. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that what they said can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find shortcomings in themselves.
Coaches and parents should also be careful that youth sport does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sports, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find faults in youngsters' performances. Positive (积极的) advice should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research shows that praise has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Criticism can create high levels of stress.
72.What does this passage mainly tell us?
A. Sports.
B. Athletes.
C. Stress on young athletes.
D. Challenge.
答案与解析 C 主旨大意题。此篇主要讲教练和父母给年轻运动员造成的心理压力。
73.How does sport benefit the young athletes in this passage?
A. To make their bodies stronger.
B. To help their coaches.
C. To work for their coaches.
D. To learn how to get on well with others.
答案与解析 D 细节理解题。题干中的benefit是“有益于”,从文中第二段中的“learn how to cooperate with”看出年轻选手从体育中学会怎样与人合作。
74.Many coaches and parents would rather criticize the young athletes________.
A. because they believe praise is of great use
B. because they believe the young athletes can learn more social experience
C. because they did as their own coaches and parents had done
D. because they believe criticism is good to the young athletes' early development
答案与解析 D 推理题,在第二段中“what they said can greatly affect their children ... find shortcomings in themselves.”看出父母、教练认为观点对他们的孩子们影响极深,能使年轻人在自己身上找到缺点,因此,教练、父母宁愿批评年轻运动员。
75.What should coaches and parents do?
A. Let the young enjoy sports.
B. Make the young win the first.
C. To be more strict with the young.
D. To make sports more challenging.
答案与解析 A 这是一个推理题,作者写这篇文章的目的是建议父母和教练对年轻运动员多表扬,少批评,以减少他们的压力。Positive advice should be provided regardless of the outcome.“不论结果如何,应该提供积极的表扬”。

He Who Laughs Last Laughs Best
It was Saturday. As we had no classes, Zhang Bing invited me to go fishing. While we were walking towards the river together with the fishing poles on our shoulders and the bags in our hands, one of our schoolmates Lin Xiaodong rode past us with his fishing tool. He made fun of us by saying “No hurry!”
We were walking on the half way when we noticed Lin repairing his bike. There was something wrong with his tyres. We went away without helping him. We had been fishing for a long time before Lin came. As he didn't have a tyre pump, he had to wheel his bike with him. He was tired out with his “good” bike.
