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
Nearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists.
Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.
Prepare yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. Think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.
If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people. Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.
No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards. But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know more about you.

Today’s teen consumer market is the most profitable it has ever been. Even though 65% of teens claim that they rely on themselves for their fashion ideas, it is estimated that less than 20% of the teen population is innovative enough to drive fashion trends, according to a recent study by a marketing firm. Marketers recognize this fact and often use elements of youth culture to promote their products. Perhaps one of the best examples is their use of hip-hop culture. It is reported that hip-hop fashion alone generates $750 million to $1 billion annually. Sales of rap music and videos each exceed that amount.
Rap’s rise and sustained global popularity is a good illustration of how influential youth culture is on youth attitudes and behavior. Remember when Madonna hit the charts with her bra in full view while singing about “virginity”? Soon after that, adolescent girls around the world began wearing their underwear outside their clothes.
Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger was fully aware of the power of youth culture. He marketed his brand by giving clothes to famous MTV stars and featuring teen stars in his print ads. Picking up on teens’ interest in computer games, Hilfiger sponsored a Nintendo competition and installed Nintendo terminals in his stores. They payoff? Teens rated Hilfiger jeans as their number one brand in a survey in 2000.
64. What is the best title for this passage?
A.The Importance of Marketing B. The Power of Youth Culture
C.The Popularity of Hip-hop Fashion D. The Success of Tommy Hilfiger
65. How much money do sales of rap music and videos together make each year?
A. More than $I billion B. Between $750 million and $1 billion
C. Between $500 million and $750 million D. Less than $500 million
66. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. The purchasing power of teenagers has been decreasing over the years.
B. Many teenagers make a lot of profits in the fashion market today.
C. Madonna led the fashion of wearing underwear outside clothes.
D. Marketers recognize youth culture as a part of hip-hop culture.
67. It can be inferred from the passage that Hilfiger _________
A. believed that MTV stars could drive fashion trends among teens
B. sold Nintendo terminals together with teen’s clothes in his stores
C. sponsored a Nintendo competition out of his own interest in computer games
D. was rated by teens and adults as the best designer of jeans around the world in 2000

Walking through any high school in the first class in the morning, you may find many students are struggling to stay awake.
“They are sitting in the classroom, but their heads are at home on their pillows”, says Mary Carskadon of Brown Medical School in the US.
Don’t blame them; blame the clock in their brains. Research suggests that biological clocks push teens to stay up at night and sleep in the morning. Many suffer from jet lag (时差)between their internal clocks and the external world.
During the first several weeks of school, students are more likely to get a lack of sleep. In the holidays, students can sleep eight hours a night. But during the school day, students on average sleeps only about six hours. Students lose 10 hours of sleep per week they never recover from. The lack of sleep may not only be a drag on school performance, but may be related to poor health.
Scientists in the US led research to try to help them fall asleep earlier. They found the brain can produce a chemical that helps sleep. It comes out only in the dark. So they use a special light in the classroom to try to force a reset of the students’ biological clock.
The research failed at the end. So some schools in the US have reset their school time from 7:25 to 8:30 am to suit the students. The results were promising. The hour extension help students perform better in class.
68. The reason why many students may be found sleepy in the first class in the morning
is that ___ .
A. the first class is boring B. they don’t like their teacher
C. they sleep less hours than they need D. they are ill
69. According to the passage we can learn that ___ .
A. Teachers should blame the sleeping students in the class
The sleeping students in the class work harder than the others
The sleeping students work deep into the night
Falling asleep late makes students sleepy in the class
70. Which of the following is not true?
A. The sleeping students in the first class should have their brains examined.
Scientists did research to help the sleepy students but failed.
Some schools in the US begin their classes in the morning later than before.
Students shall have about eight sleeping hours during the school day.
71. The main idea of the passage is that ____ .
A. Students often sleep in the first in the morning.
B.. Students are too tired to fall asleep at night.
Sleepyhead in the first class, it is not the students’ fault.
Scientists did some research on students’ sleep.
E
It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most coolheaded drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and is so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.
An experienced driver, Whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic steam without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive. Let alone master the roadman ship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to hear.
72. According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by________.
A. road conditions B. the speed of modern life
C. the behavior of the drivers D. the large number of cars
73. In the writer’s opinion,_________.
A. drivers should avoid traffic jams B. strict traffic rules badly needed
C．unskillful drivers should be punished D．drivers should show road politeness properly
74.In this passage the word “give—and—take” means“__________”.
A．politeness and impoliteness
B．good manners and bad manners
C．offering help to others as much as possible
D．willingness of each person to give in to each other’s wishes
75. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Road politeness B. Traffic problems
C. Bad manners on the road D. Good drivers and bad drivers

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money left.

She 38 all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she 39 her way six blocks to the local drugstore（药店）.
"And what do you want?" asked the chemist.
"It’s 40 my little brother," the girl answered back. "He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a 41 . His name is Andrew and he has something 42 growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him."
"We don’t 43 miracles here, child. I’m sorry," the chemist said, smiling 44 at the little girl.
In the shop was a 45 customer. He stooped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of miracle does your brother 46 ?"
"I don’t know," she replied. "He’s really sick and mommy says he needs 47 . But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought my 48 ."
"How much do you have?" asked the man.

"Well, what a coincidence（巧合）," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents — the 50 price of a miracle for little brothers. 51 me to where you live. I want to see your brother and 52 your parents."
That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon（外科医生）. The operation was completed without 53 and it wasn’t long before Andrew was 54 again and doing well.

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
Nearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists.
Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.
Prepare yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. Think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.
If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people. Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.
No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards. But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know more about you.

Today’s teen consumer market is the most profitable it has ever been. Even though 65% of teens claim that they rely on themselves for their fashion ideas, it is estimated that less than 20% of the teen population is innovative enough to drive fashion trends, according to a recent study by a marketing firm. Marketers recognize this fact and often use elements of youth culture to promote their products. Perhaps one of the best examples is their use of hip-hop culture. It is reported that hip-hop fashion alone generates $750 million to $1 billion annually. Sales of rap music and videos each exceed that amount.
Rap’s rise and sustained global popularity is a good illustration of how influential youth culture is on youth attitudes and behavior. Remember when Madonna hit the charts with her bra in full view while singing about “virginity”? Soon after that, adolescent girls around the world began wearing their underwear outside their clothes.
Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger was fully aware of the power of youth culture. He marketed his brand by giving clothes to famous MTV stars and featuring teen stars in his print ads. Picking up on teens’ interest in computer games, Hilfiger sponsored a Nintendo competition and installed Nintendo terminals in his stores. They payoff? Teens rated Hilfiger jeans as their number one brand in a survey in 2000.
64. What is the best title for this passage?
A.The Importance of Marketing B. The Power of Youth Culture
C.The Popularity of Hip-hop Fashion D. The Success of Tommy Hilfiger
65. How much money do sales of rap music and videos together make each year?
A. More than $I billion B. Between $750 million and $1 billion
C. Between $500 million and $750 million D. Less than $500 million
66. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. The purchasing power of teenagers has been decreasing over the years.
B. Many teenagers make a lot of profits in the fashion market today.
C. Madonna led the fashion of wearing underwear outside clothes.
D. Marketers recognize youth culture as a part of hip-hop culture.
67. It can be inferred from the passage that Hilfiger _________
A. believed that MTV stars could drive fashion trends among teens
B. sold Nintendo terminals together with teen’s clothes in his stores
C. sponsored a Nintendo competition out of his own interest in computer games
D. was rated by teens and adults as the best designer of jeans around the world in 2000

Walking through any high school in the first class in the morning, you may find many students are struggling to stay awake.
“They are sitting in the classroom, but their heads are at home on their pillows”, says Mary Carskadon of Brown Medical School in the US.
Don’t blame them; blame the clock in their brains. Research suggests that biological clocks push teens to stay up at night and sleep in the morning. Many suffer from jet lag (时差)between their internal clocks and the external world.
During the first several weeks of school, students are more likely to get a lack of sleep. In the holidays, students can sleep eight hours a night. But during the school day, students on average sleeps only about six hours. Students lose 10 hours of sleep per week they never recover from. The lack of sleep may not only be a drag on school performance, but may be related to poor health.
Scientists in the US led research to try to help them fall asleep earlier. They found the brain can produce a chemical that helps sleep. It comes out only in the dark. So they use a special light in the classroom to try to force a reset of the students’ biological clock.
The research failed at the end. So some schools in the US have reset their school time from 7:25 to 8:30 am to suit the students. The results were promising. The hour extension help students perform better in class.
68. The reason why many students may be found sleepy in the first class in the morning
is that ___ .
A. the first class is boring B. they don’t like their teacher
C. they sleep less hours than they need D. they are ill
69. According to the passage we can learn that ___ .
A. Teachers should blame the sleeping students in the class
The sleeping students in the class work harder than the others
The sleeping students work deep into the night
Falling asleep late makes students sleepy in the class
70. Which of the following is not true?
A. The sleeping students in the first class should have their brains examined.
Scientists did research to help the sleepy students but failed.
Some schools in the US begin their classes in the morning later than before.
Students shall have about eight sleeping hours during the school day.
71. The main idea of the passage is that ____ .
A. Students often sleep in the first in the morning.
B.. Students are too tired to fall asleep at night.
Sleepyhead in the first class, it is not the students’ fault.
Scientists did some research on students’ sleep.

It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most coolheaded drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and is so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.
An experienced driver, Whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic steam without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive. Let alone master the roadman ship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to hear.
72. According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by________.
A. road conditions B. the speed of modern life
C. the behavior of the drivers D. the large number of cars
73. In the writer’s opinion,_________.
A. drivers should avoid traffic jams B. strict traffic rules badly needed
C．unskillful drivers should be punished D．drivers should show road politeness properly
74.In this passage the word “give—and—take” means“__________”.
A．politeness and impoliteness
B．good manners and bad manners
C．offering help to others as much as possible
D．willingness of each person to give in to each other’s wishes
75. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Road politeness B. Traffic problems
C. Bad manners on the road D. Good drivers and bad drivers
