第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题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
How Long Can People Live ?
She took up skating at age of 85, made her first movie appearance at age of 114, and held a concert in the neighbourhood on her 121st birthday .
When it comes to long life , Jeanne Calment is the world’s record-holder . She lived to the ripe old age of 122. So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span (寿命)? If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging , could we possibly make it to 150-or beyond ?
Researchers don’t entirely agree on the answers. “Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135,” says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas .
Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees . “People can live much longer than we think,” he says. “Experts used to say that humans couldn’t live past 110. When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120. So why can’t we go higher ?
The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it’s all just guessing . “Anyone can make up a number,” says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan. “Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine.”
Won’t new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries ? Any cure , says Miller , for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120. Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most . “So , if the average human life span is about 80 years ,” says Miller , “adding another 50 percent would get you to 120.”
So when can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers ? That life span is flexible (有弹性的)，but there is a limit , says George Martin of the University of Washington. “We can get flies to live 50 percent longer,” he says . “But a fly’s never going to live 150 years.” Of course , if you became a new spieces (物种), one that ages at a lower speed , that would be a different story , he adds .
Does Martin really believe that human could evolve (进化) their way to longer life ?
“It’s pretty cool to think about,” he says with a smile .
66．What does the story of Jeanne Calment prove to us ?
A．People can live to 122. B．Old people are creative .
C．Women are sporty at 85. D．Women live longer than men .
67．According to Steve Austad at the University of Texas , .
A．the average human life span could be 110
B．scientists cannot find ways to slow aging
C．few people can expect to live to over 150
D．researchers are not sure how long people can live
68．Who would agree that a scientist will become famous if he makes the wildest guess at longevity ?
A．Jerry Shay . B．Steve Austad . C．Rich Miller . D．George Martin .
69．What can we infer from the last three paragraphs ?
A．Most of us could be good at sports even at 120.
B．The average human life span cannot be doubled .
C．Scientists believe mice are aging at a slower speed than before .
D．New techniques could be used to change flies into a new spieces .
B
For almost two months Dominic York , a 23-year-old hairdresser ,wandered about hospital all night , wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor . Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications , he had saved several people’s lives . He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed .
“I watched one of those TV drama about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself . So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope (听诊器) and walked around one of the biggest hospitals in London . At first I just watched . Once you learn how doctors talk to patients , nurses and other doctors , it’s easy to take people in ,” he said .
One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan . She had been knocked down by a car and fainted . When she came to in hospital , York was standing over her .
“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon . Then he gave me some sort of injection,” she said . And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was . She didn’t think there was anything wrong . “I could hardly believe my ears.”
Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was so. “shocked and horrified” that he got away with his deceiving for so long . And then he sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders .
“I can only hope that this will not lead to further problems . After all , you will have considerable opportunity to study the behaviour of the psychiatrists (精神科医生)who will look after you while you are there . If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free ,I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence,”Judge Adams warned York .
70．York was proud of the fact that .
A．a surgeon let him watch an operation B．he could perform some duties of a doctor
C．he had cheated doctors for so long D．people thought he could become a real doctor
71．York learned how to behave like a doctor by .
A．watching other doctors work B．talking to doctors and nurses
C．getting some training and experience D．observing doctors while he was a patient
72．Why was Laura Kennan in hospital ?
A．She had swallowed something and almost died .
B．She had to have an emergency operation .
C．She had been injured in a road accident .
D．She had lost consciousness while driving .
73．The judge’s remark implied that York would be more severely punished if he .
A．pretended to be a psychiatrist B． tried to get away from prison
C．was proud of what he had done D．studied the behaviour of the psychiatrist
C
Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers .But last summer , Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son : suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents . “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted .
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk .” Said Mark . “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something . Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady . The problem is figuring out which time is which.”
Before age11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds . “In fact , parents are first on the list ,” said Michael Riera , author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the ten years,” Riera explained . “They talk to their friends first , then maybe their teachers , and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them . To break down the wall of silence , parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say , and try to find ways to talk and write to them . And they must give their children a mental break , for children also need freedom , though young . Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend , not a manager , with their children is a better way to know them .
74．“The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son .
A．is always busy with his studies B．doesn’t want to be disturbed
C．keeps himself away from his parents D．begins to dislike his parents
75．What troubles Tina and Mark most is that .
A．their daughter isn’t as lovely as before
B．they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly
C．they don’t know what to say to their daughter
D．their daughter talks with them only when she needs help
76．Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph ?
A．Teenagers talk a lot with their friends .
B．Teenagers do not want to understand their parents .
C．Teenagers do not talk much with their parents .
D．Teenagers talk little about their own lives .
77．What can be learned from the passage ?
A．Parents are unhappy with their growing children .
B．Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers .
C．Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers .
D．Parents should try to understand their teenagers .
D

第三节 书面表达
Dear Editor :
In the countryside , a lot of children are leaving shool for various reasons . Some families are too poor to send their children to school . So they have to earn money to help support their families . Many parents think it useless to send their children to school . They would rather let their children stay at home .
I feel worried about this . I think every child should have the chance to go to school . We should pay more attention to the education of children , for they will play an important part in our socialist construction in the future . Ways must be found to prevent children from leaving off their studies .

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题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
How Long Can People Live ?
She took up skating at age of 85, made her first movie appearance at age of 114, and held a concert in the neighbourhood on her 121st birthday .
When it comes to long life , Jeanne Calment is the world’s record-holder . She lived to the ripe old age of 122. So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span (寿命)? If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging , could we possibly make it to 150-or beyond ?
Researchers don’t entirely agree on the answers. “Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135,” says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas .
Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees . “People can live much longer than we think,” he says. “Experts used to say that humans couldn’t live past 110. When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120. So why can’t we go higher ?
The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it’s all just guessing . “Anyone can make up a number,” says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan. “Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine.”
Won’t new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries ? Any cure , says Miller , for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120. Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most . “So , if the average human life span is about 80 years ,” says Miller , “adding another 50 percent would get you to 120.”
So when can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers ? That life span is flexible (有弹性的)，but there is a limit , says George Martin of the University of Washington. “We can get flies to live 50 percent longer,” he says . “But a fly’s never going to live 150 years.” Of course , if you became a new spieces (物种), one that ages at a lower speed , that would be a different story , he adds .
Does Martin really believe that human could evolve (进化) their way to longer life ?
“It’s pretty cool to think about,” he says with a smile .
66．What does the story of Jeanne Calment prove to us ?
A．People can live to 122. B．Old people are creative .
C．Women are sporty at 85. D．Women live longer than men .
67．According to Steve Austad at the University of Texas , .
A．the average human life span could be 110
B．scientists cannot find ways to slow aging
C．few people can expect to live to over 150
D．researchers are not sure how long people can live
68．Who would agree that a scientist will become famous if he makes the wildest guess at longevity ?
A．Jerry Shay . B．Steve Austad . C．Rich Miller . D．George Martin .
69．What can we infer from the last three paragraphs ?
A．Most of us could be good at sports even at 120.
B．The average human life span cannot be doubled .
C．Scientists believe mice are aging at a slower speed than before .
D．New techniques could be used to change flies into a new spieces .

For almost two months Dominic York , a 23-year-old hairdresser ,wandered about hospital all night , wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor . Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications , he had saved several people’s lives . He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed .
“I watched one of those TV drama about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself . So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope (听诊器) and walked around one of the biggest hospitals in London . At first I just watched . Once you learn how doctors talk to patients , nurses and other doctors , it’s easy to take people in ,” he said .
One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan . She had been knocked down by a car and fainted . When she came to in hospital , York was standing over her .
“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon . Then he gave me some sort of injection,” she said . And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was . She didn’t think there was anything wrong . “I could hardly believe my ears.”
Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was so. “shocked and horrified” that he got away with his deceiving for so long . And then he sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders .
“I can only hope that this will not lead to further problems . After all , you will have considerable opportunity to study the behaviour of the psychiatrists (精神科医生)who will look after you while you are there . If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free ,I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence,”Judge Adams warned York .
70．York was proud of the fact that .
A．a surgeon let him watch an operation B．he could perform some duties of a doctor
C．he had cheated doctors for so long D．people thought he could become a real doctor
71．York learned how to behave like a doctor by .
A．watching other doctors work B．talking to doctors and nurses
C．getting some training and experience D．observing doctors while he was a patient
72．Why was Laura Kennan in hospital ?
A．She had swallowed something and almost died .
B．She had to have an emergency operation .
C．She had been injured in a road accident .
D．She had lost consciousness while driving .
73．The judge’s remark implied that York would be more severely punished if he .
A．pretended to be a psychiatrist B． tried to get away from prison
C．was proud of what he had done D．studied the behaviour of the psychiatrist
C
Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers .But last summer , Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son : suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents . “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted .
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk .” Said Mark . “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something . Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady . The problem is figuring out which time is which.”
Before age11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds . “In fact , parents are first on the list ,” said Michael Riera , author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the ten years,” Riera explained . “They talk to their friends first , then maybe their teachers , and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them . To break down the wall of silence , parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say , and try to find ways to talk and write to them . And they must give their children a mental break , for children also need freedom , though young . Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend , not a manager , with their children is a better way to know them .
74．“The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son .
A．is always busy with his studies B．doesn’t want to be disturbed
C．keeps himself away from his parents D．begins to dislike his parents
75．What troubles Tina and Mark most is that .
A．their daughter isn’t as lovely as before
B．they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly
C．they don’t know what to say to their daughter
D．their daughter talks with them only when she needs help
76．Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph ?
A．Teenagers talk a lot with their friends .
B．Teenagers do not want to understand their parents .
C．Teenagers do not talk much with their parents .
D．Teenagers talk little about their own lives .
77．What can be learned from the passage ?
A．Parents are unhappy with their growing children .
B．Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers .
C．Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers .
D．Parents should try to understand their teenagers .

第三节 书面表达
Dear Editor :
In the countryside , a lot of children are leaving shool for various reasons . Some families are too poor to send their children to school . So they have to earn money to help support their families . Many parents think it useless to send their children to school . They would rather let their children stay at home .
I feel worried about this . I think every child should have the chance to go to school . We should pay more attention to the education of children , for they will play an important part in our socialist construction in the future . Ways must be found to prevent children from leaving off their studies .
