Ⅲ.阅读理解

The media nowadays are too interested in lives of celebrities(名人).They are ruining celebrities’ lives by prying into(窥探)their privacy(隐私)and not giving them any freedom to live as they want to.Also,the media waste a lot of money hiring paparazzi.People waste hours and hours reading information brought by the paparazzi.
The so-called “form of entertainment” may be entertaining to the average person,but it can ruin the celebrities’ lives.The media make a simple mistake into a huge scandal(丑闻).For example,Tiger Woods was involved in a car accident that resulted in a scandal about his affairs with other women.Also,the paparazzi were partly responsible for Princess Diana’s death.It is the paparazzi running after her at high speed that caused her car accident and death.
Many people waste much time and money trying to meet up with their idols(偶像),and spend huge amounts of money buying tickets to fly to their next concert,etc.Even the average person spends hours reading the “news” about their latest scandal.
This form of entertainment is a waste of time,money and effort.The time can be spent doing more useful things like studying for homework or reading “real” news.The money wasted trying to meet up with idols can be spent on more useful things.It is not fair for people in rich countries to spend money reading these meaningless things,while other people in poorer countries have to fight for survival.Instead of reading this,they can help poor people and provide them with things for basic survival.

40.B
COLUMBUS,Ohio—The heart operation taking place in the pale-green operating room at the Ohio State University Medical Center was unusual.The patient,a 62-year-old man,was made to sleep,tied with blue drapes(消毒帷帘)and lying face up on a narrow table.But no one was touching him.
Instead,the operation was being performed by a robot,whose three metal arms went through pencil-sized holes in the man’s chest.At the ends of the robot’s arms were tiny metal fingers,with turning wrists,which held a tiny instrument,a light and a camera.The robot’s arms and fingers were controlled by Dr.Randall K.Wolf,sitting at a computer in a corner of the operating room about 20 feet away.
This sort of operation,heart surgeons say,is the start of what may be the biggest change in their profession since heart bypass surgery(心脏搭桥手术)began nearly 30 years ago.“The reason we make cuts is that we have big hands,” said Dr.Wolf,the director of the surgery at Ohio State.The robot’s dainty fingers,no longer than a nail on the small finger,at the end of the long sticks could work better.
Eventually,surgeons believe,most heart surgery will be done by robots whose arms are put in through pencil-sized holes punched in patients’ chests.Instead of directly staring into a patient’s body,surgeons will view magnified images of the operation on computer screens.In theory,the doctor would not have to be in the same room,or even the same country,as the patient.
40In this passage,the underlined word “dainty” means .?
A.weak B.small C.fat D.quick
解析:由The robot’s dainty fingers,no longer than a nail on the small finger,...可知,no longer than a nail是对dainty的解释,故选B项。
答案:B
41.According to the passage,the reason that most operations require large cuts is that .?
A.patients have large organs
B.surgeons have large hands
C.large cuts take less time
D.large cuts cost less money
解析:由第三段“The reason we make cuts is that we have big hands...”可知答案。
答案:B
42.The main idea of this passage is that heart surgery by robots .?
A.is quicker than surgery done by doctors
B.may replace surgery done by doctors
C.is a new and risky procedure
D.was developed at Ohio State University
解析:这是一篇新闻报道,文章第一段就告诉我们:62岁的病人在进行心脏手术,但却没有人触碰他;文章最后一段也告诉我们医生也相信大部分心脏手术将由机器人来代替。
答案:B
43.Based on the information in this passage,all of the following conclusions are true EXCEPT .?
A.Robot surgery is being developed at Ohio State
B.Robot surgery will be used on many patients in the near future
C.All doctors at Ohio Sate develop new surgical techniques
D.Many hospitals will eventually offer robot surgery to patients
解析:C项告诉我们俄亥俄州的所有医生都发展有新的外科手术,这是不正确的,也是不现实的。
答案:C

A schoolgirl saved her father’s life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic(过敏的)reaction which stopped his heart.
Izzy,nine,restarted father Colm’s heart by stamping(踩)on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing.
Izzy’s mother,Debbie,immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father,so decided to use CPR.
However,she quickly discovered her arms weren’t strong enough,so she stamped on her father’s chest instead.
Debbie them took over with some more conventional chest compressions(按压)until the ambulance arrived.
Izzy,who has been given a bravery award by her school,said:“I just kicked him really hard.My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasn’t strong enough to use hands.I was quite scared.The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse,My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his chest.”
“She’s a little star,” said Debbie,“I was really upset but Izzy just took over.I just can’t believe what she did.I really think all children should be taught first aid.Izzy did CPR then the doctor turned up.Colm had to have more treatment on the way to the hospital and we’ve got to see an expert.”
Truck driver Colm,35,suffered a mystery allergic reaction on Saturday and was taken to hospital,but was sent home only for it to happen again the next day.The second attack was so serious that his airway swelled,preventing him from breathing,his blood pressure dropped suddenly,and his heart stopped for a moment.
He has now made a full recovery from his suffering.

答案:C
46.What does Paragraph 8 mainly talk about?
A.What Colm suffered.
B.Colm’s present condition.
C.What caused Colm’s allergy.
D.Symptoms of Colm’s allergic reaction.

47.Why does the author write the news?

In the wake of growing concern over the quality of Toyota products worldwide,the company has announced that it would take corrective measures on quality-related problems.
Toyota president Akio Toyoda has admitted that the company’s current recall(召回)problems are a result of it growing too fast,too soon.As a result he has worked out plans to improve quality standards and among the plans are the appointment of a chief quality officer,an expansion of the network of local technical offices,the use of electronic throttle(节流阀) control system,the instillation of brake over ride systems,and the use of in-car data recorders.
To make the company pay more attention to customer concerns,Toyota will appoint a new chief quality officer for each main geographical region.These officers will be a part of the Special Committee for Global Quality,headed by Toyoda.
The company will also work on strengthening its structure that would assist customer feedback—from each region—reaching directly to its Quality and Product Development Group.
In addition,Toyota will install an electronic throttle control technology that shifts the engine to idling(空转),or shuts it down completely.The company has asked an independent research organization to test its electronic throttle control system.
Toyota is also adding a new brake override system to all its future models worldwide.This will cut engine power when the accelerator and brake pedals are applied at the same time.
It also plans more active use of the in-car data recorders to collect vital information in case of a malfunction.
52What is the best title of the passage?
A.Toyota’s plan for quality control

B.Now the company is trying to recall its quality-related products.

答案:D
55.From the text we can know that Toyota’s main products are .?
A.cars
B.throttles
C.accelerator and brake pedals
D.data recorders

56.请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。(每空一词)
A sleep diary is an important tool used by doctors in determining certain sleep disorders(紊乱).Depending on the type of your sleep disorder,you may be able to improve the quality of your sleep by using this great tool on your own.The following are some tips that help you keep a sleep diary.
Understand why you are keeping a sleep diary to sleep better,and what information you’re looking for.A sleep diary includes some simple data in it,such as when you first tried to go to sleep,when you actually fell asleep,how many times you woke up and for how long,and when you woke up in the morning. You will also need to record other information that could affect your sleep indirectly.
Keep your sleep diary with you at all times for at least a week,and as long as a month,even if there are nights you seem to sleep better than others.Write down as much information as you can.The more information you collect,the more likely you’ll be able to sleep better.
When you have completed your sleep diary,review the information carefully.It may be easiest to look at one variable(可变因素)at a time.For example,look at how well you slept on nights when you exercised after 5 pm—did you sleep better or worse than other nights on those evenings?It may also be helpful to have someone else review the information,too.
Once you’ve determined the causes of your sleep disorder,you should start to solve it.You may find that you shouldn’t drink coffee all day like you did before,and cutting back helps you sleep better.Or you may find that you sleep better if you do some physical exercise before work rather than after work.In some cases,you may find that you’re doing everything you can to sleep better,and it’s still not working.
In any case,this tool is an excellent first step whenever you want to sleep better.

Dear Madam or Sir,
I’m writing to tell you about my experience in your bookstore. I bought an English dictionary there two days ago.When I arrived home,I found that some pages of the dictionary were missing.I went back to the store the next day and asked a saleswoman to change it for another one.However,she was very rude and said it was my own fault.I was deeply hurt by her attitude.
I would like you to change my dictionary.I would also like to suggest that you improve your service to the customers.
I’m looking forward to receiving your reply soon.
Yours,
Li Hua?

The media nowadays are too interested in lives of celebrities(名人).They are ruining celebrities’ lives by prying into(窥探)their privacy(隐私)and not giving them any freedom to live as they want to.Also,the media waste a lot of money hiring paparazzi.People waste hours and hours reading information brought by the paparazzi.
The so-called “form of entertainment” may be entertaining to the average person,but it can ruin the celebrities’ lives.The media make a simple mistake into a huge scandal(丑闻).For example,Tiger Woods was involved in a car accident that resulted in a scandal about his affairs with other women.Also,the paparazzi were partly responsible for Princess Diana’s death.It is the paparazzi running after her at high speed that caused her car accident and death.
Many people waste much time and money trying to meet up with their idols(偶像),and spend huge amounts of money buying tickets to fly to their next concert,etc.Even the average person spends hours reading the “news” about their latest scandal.
This form of entertainment is a waste of time,money and effort.The time can be spent doing more useful things like studying for homework or reading “real” news.The money wasted trying to meet up with idols can be spent on more useful things.It is not fair for people in rich countries to spend money reading these meaningless things,while other people in poorer countries have to fight for survival.Instead of reading this,they can help poor people and provide them with things for basic survival.

COLUMBUS,Ohio—The heart operation taking place in the pale-green operating room at the Ohio State University Medical Center was unusual.The patient,a 62-year-old man,was made to sleep,tied with blue drapes(消毒帷帘)and lying face up on a narrow table.But no one was touching him.
Instead,the operation was being performed by a robot,whose three metal arms went through pencil-sized holes in the man’s chest.At the ends of the robot’s arms were tiny metal fingers,with turning wrists,which held a tiny instrument,a light and a camera.The robot’s arms and fingers were controlled by Dr.Randall K.Wolf,sitting at a computer in a corner of the operating room about 20 feet away.
This sort of operation,heart surgeons say,is the start of what may be the biggest change in their profession since heart bypass surgery(心脏搭桥手术)began nearly 30 years ago.“The reason we make cuts is that we have big hands,” said Dr.Wolf,the director of the surgery at Ohio State.The robot’s dainty fingers,no longer than a nail on the small finger,at the end of the long sticks could work better.
Eventually,surgeons believe,most heart surgery will be done by robots whose arms are put in through pencil-sized holes punched in patients’ chests.Instead of directly staring into a patient’s body,surgeons will view magnified images of the operation on computer screens.In theory,the doctor would not have to be in the same room,or even the same country,as the patient.
40In this passage,the underlined word “dainty” means .?
A.weak B.small C.fat D.quick
解析:由The robot’s dainty fingers,no longer than a nail on the small finger,...可知,no longer than a nail是对dainty的解释,故选B项。
答案:B
41.According to the passage,the reason that most operations require large cuts is that .?
A.patients have large organs
B.surgeons have large hands
C.large cuts take less time
D.large cuts cost less money
解析:由第三段“The reason we make cuts is that we have big hands...”可知答案。
答案:B
42.The main idea of this passage is that heart surgery by robots .?
A.is quicker than surgery done by doctors
B.may replace surgery done by doctors
C.is a new and risky procedure
D.was developed at Ohio State University
解析:这是一篇新闻报道,文章第一段就告诉我们:62岁的病人在进行心脏手术,但却没有人触碰他;文章最后一段也告诉我们医生也相信大部分心脏手术将由机器人来代替。
答案:B
43.Based on the information in this passage,all of the following conclusions are true EXCEPT .?
A.Robot surgery is being developed at Ohio State
B.Robot surgery will be used on many patients in the near future
C.All doctors at Ohio Sate develop new surgical techniques
D.Many hospitals will eventually offer robot surgery to patients
解析:C项告诉我们俄亥俄州的所有医生都发展有新的外科手术,这是不正确的,也是不现实的。
答案:C

A schoolgirl saved her father’s life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic(过敏的)reaction which stopped his heart.
Izzy,nine,restarted father Colm’s heart by stamping(踩)on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing.
Izzy’s mother,Debbie,immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father,so decided to use CPR.
However,she quickly discovered her arms weren’t strong enough,so she stamped on her father’s chest instead.
Debbie them took over with some more conventional chest compressions(按压)until the ambulance arrived.
Izzy,who has been given a bravery award by her school,said:“I just kicked him really hard.My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasn’t strong enough to use hands.I was quite scared.The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse,My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his chest.”
“She’s a little star,” said Debbie,“I was really upset but Izzy just took over.I just can’t believe what she did.I really think all children should be taught first aid.Izzy did CPR then the doctor turned up.Colm had to have more treatment on the way to the hospital and we’ve got to see an expert.”
Truck driver Colm,35,suffered a mystery allergic reaction on Saturday and was taken to hospital,but was sent home only for it to happen again the next day.The second attack was so serious that his airway swelled,preventing him from breathing,his blood pressure dropped suddenly,and his heart stopped for a moment.
He has now made a full recovery from his suffering.
44Izzy kicked her father in the chest .?
A.to express her helplessness

C.to keep him awake

答案:C
46.What does Paragraph 8 mainly talk about?
A.What Colm suffered.
B.Colm’s present condition.
C.What caused Colm’s allergy.
D.Symptoms of Colm’s allergic reaction.
解析:本段描述了女孩的父亲Colm星期六因为不明原因的过敏反应被送去医院,回家的第二天便发生了心脏骤停。因此本段是讲述了父亲这两天的遭遇,故选A项。
答案:A
47.Why does the author write the news?

In the wake of growing concern over the quality of Toyota products worldwide,the company has announced that it would take corrective measures on quality-related problems.
Toyota president Akio Toyoda has admitted that the company’s current recall(召回)problems are a result of it growing too fast,too soon.As a result he has worked out plans to improve quality standards and among the plans are the appointment of a chief quality officer,an expansion of the network of local technical offices,the use of electronic throttle(节流阀) control system,the instillation of brake over ride systems,and the use of in-car data recorders.
To make the company pay more attention to customer concerns,Toyota will appoint a new chief quality officer for each main geographical region.These officers will be a part of the Special Committee for Global Quality,headed by Toyoda.
The company will also work on strengthening its structure that would assist customer feedback—from each region—reaching directly to its Quality and Product Development Group.
In addition,Toyota will install an electronic throttle control technology that shifts the engine to idling(空转),or shuts it down completely.The company has asked an independent research organization to test its electronic throttle control system.
Toyota is also adding a new brake override system to all its future models worldwide.This will cut engine power when the accelerator and brake pedals are applied at the same time.
It also plans more active use of the in-car data recorders to collect vital information in case of a malfunction.
52What is the best title of the passage?

答案:D
55.From the text we can know that Toyota’s main products are .?
A.cars
B.throttles
C.accelerator and brake pedals

A sleep diary is an important tool used by doctors in determining certain sleep disorders(紊乱).Depending on the type of your sleep disorder,you may be able to improve the quality of your sleep by using this great tool on your own.The following are some tips that help you keep a sleep diary.
Understand why you are keeping a sleep diary to sleep better,and what information you’re looking for.A sleep diary includes some simple data in it,such as when you first tried to go to sleep,when you actually fell asleep,how many times you woke up and for how long,and when you woke up in the morning. You will also need to record other information that could affect your sleep indirectly.
Keep your sleep diary with you at all times for at least a week,and as long as a month,even if there are nights you seem to sleep better than others.Write down as much information as you can.The more information you collect,the more likely you’ll be able to sleep better.
When you have completed your sleep diary,review the information carefully.It may be easiest to look at one variable(可变因素)at a time.For example,look at how well you slept on nights when you exercised after 5 pm—did you sleep better or worse than other nights on those evenings?It may also be helpful to have someone else review the information,too.
Once you’ve determined the causes of your sleep disorder,you should start to solve it.You may find that you shouldn’t drink coffee all day like you did before,and cutting back helps you sleep better.Or you may find that you sleep better if you do some physical exercise before work rather than after work.In some cases,you may find that you’re doing everything you can to sleep better,and it’s still not working.
In any case,this tool is an excellent first step whenever you want to sleep better.

Dear Madam or Sir,
I’m writing to tell you about my experience in your bookstore. I bought an English dictionary there two days ago.When I arrived home,I found that some pages of the dictionary were missing.I went back to the store the next day and asked a saleswoman to change it for another one.However,she was very rude and said it was my own fault.I was deeply hurt by her attitude.
I would like you to change my dictionary.I would also like to suggest that you improve your service to the customers.
I’m looking forward to receiving your reply soon.
Yours,
