第三部分: 阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列文章，根据文章内容，从文后所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
A
My son Mark and I were eager to enjoy a day out together, which was a rare occasion when a father and a son can share each other’s life totally without other things. So we settled for a sharing of seaside golf.
I write here not as a good golfer in the technical sense, but hopefully as a “good” player who enjoys a round in the group of family or friends, who tries hard to win but who doesn’t mind losing to the better golfer. Sadly, “good golfers” in that sense are becoming harder to find in a competitive world.
I’m not sure whether I understand golf myself, or why adults spend so much time, money and energy in trying to knock a small white ball into a tiny hole. However, it is more than a game - it is a lesson in life.
People always try hard to win a match. Even worse, some have found it hard to lose gracefully to their close friends, or to their own sons. Sometimes such winners are really losers.
I have played golf for more than twenty years, and it was obvious that I, playing quite well by my standards, would win. But on this particular morning，I realized that Mark was grown up and was beating his father for the first time. In fact, I wanted him to win, but I was equally prepared to play on to a “sudden death” if necessary. He hit it, and the ball rolled gently into the hole! A beam of joy lit up his face, and I felt deeply proud in my heart, “That’s my boy.”
56. Why did the writer and his son decide to enjoy a round of seaside golf?
A. They desired to stay together without interruption.
B. They both thought seaside golf was very interesting.
C. That was the only time that playing golf was free of charge.
D. The writer wanted to teach his son how to play golf.
57. According to the passage, playing golf needs the following EXCEPT ________.
A. time B. money C. energy D. courage
58. Which of the following would the writer agree with?
A. Playing golf is a waste of time.
B. There is no need for a golfer to try hard to win.
C. Those who don’t want to win are good golfers.
D. It isn’t the most important whether to win or not.
59. According to the passage, the writer plays golf mainly to ________.
A. enjoy a good time with family or friends
B. find a really good golfer in the match
C. prove that Dad plays better than the son
D. see that his son has grown up
B
We start forming impressions of people we meet from the moment we see them. A large part of the first impression that you create comes from your body language. Your facial expression, eye contact, hands and posture（姿势）speak louder than your words.
Face
Your face is the most expressive part of your body. If you are feeling anxious, your facial expression may make you look cold, disapproving, or unhappy. You can break this misrepresentation by trying to smile. Your smile is one of the strongest tools you have when you meet new people. It will help you appear warm, friendly and confident.
Eyes
Our eyes give clues(线索) to our emotions. Making very little eye contact can convey either shyness or fear. A gaze says that you are friendly and relaxed.
Hands
Your hands are also very expressive. Open gestures tend to make you appear open and honest. By pointing your finger, or moving your hands closer together, you can draw emphasis to what you are saying. Used properly, hand gestures can make you seem enthusiastic(热情的). Making too many gestures can make you appear uncontrolled. Touching your sleeves or face can make you appear nervous.
Posture
Your posture makes a big contribution to your body language and conveys your level of self-confidence. By placing your body towards someone, you show attentiveness. By falling away from them or leaning back, you show a lack of interest. When we don’t have confidence and want to hide away, we keep our heads down.
In summary, our face, eyes, hands and posture express what is going on inside us. They give clues to others whether the words we are saying are consistent with what we are really feeling. Using good body languages can bring up our self-confidence.
60. According to the first paragraph, the first impression you usually give others is from your ________.
A. interesting words B. attractive look
C. polite attitude D. body language
61. The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means________.
A. a false impression B. an uncomfortable atmosphere
C. a kind of unfriendly behavior D. the situation that one can’t bear
62. Touching your face with your own fingers probably makes you appear __________.
A. enthusiastic B. nervous C. uncontrolled D. honest
63. Which of the following is a good effect of using your body language?
A. Giving clues to show your status within a group.
B. Conveying what you are really feeling inside.
C. Bringing up your level of self-confidence.
D. Giving signals about your interest in something.
C
Robby was 11 when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I prefer students to begin at an earlier age. Robby insisted that it had always been his mother’s dream to hear him play the piano, so I took him in as a student.
Robby tried and tried while I listened, then I encouraged him and gave him more instructions (指导). But he just did not have any inborn ability.
I only saw his mother from a distance. She always waved and smiled, but never came in. Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to try something else.
I was also glad that he stopped coming for the sake of my career. However, several weeks before the recital (演奏会) of my students, Robby came，telling me that he never stopped practicing and begged me to allow him to take part. I agreed but I made him perform last in the program, so I could always save his poor performance through my “curtain closer”.
I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart’s. Never had I heard a piece of Mozart’s played so well by someone else at his age. When he finished, everyone was cheering.
I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy. “I’ve never heard you play like that, Robby! How did you do it?” “Well, Miss Hondorf. Do you remember I told you my mom was sick? Actually she died this morning. She was born deaf so tonight was the first time she could hear me play. I wanted to make it special. I knew I could.”
That night, Robby was the teacher and I was the student. He taught me so many important things about life.
64. Which of the following might be the reason that Robby stopped coming to the piano lessons suddenly?
A. He lost heart and believed that he would never make it.
B. His mother was seriously ill so that he had to stop his lessons.
C. He thought his teacher disliked him.
D. His mother died and he didn’t need to play any longer.
65. From the passage, we can learn that _____.
A. the writer thought playing the piano shouldn’t start too early
B. the writer thought that Robby had given up the piano lessons
C. the writer didn’t teach Robby carefully because he hadn’t a gift for music
D. no one else could play the piece of Mozart’s well
66. From the underlined sentence we can infer that ______. A. the writer looked down upon Robby and disliked him
B. the writer thought Robby was a bad advertisement for her teaching
C. with Robby’s presentation, the other children couldn’t play well
D. the writer couldn’t teach so many students at a time
67. What did the writer learn from Robby?
A. The meaning of true love.
B. The meaning of giving up necessarily.
C. The meaning of being kind to teachers.
D. The meaning of believing in teachers.
D
Cats, like many other animals, communicate a variety of messages using body language. Examples include arching（使拱起） their backs as a signal of fear and then slowly lowering them as a signal of relaxation.
As is the case with dogs, the tail is often used as a signal. A twitch（颤动）can indicate minor anger, and a tail held high suggests confidence. A cat which chooses to lie with its stomach and chest exposed conveys happiness, trust and comfort. A cat with its tail held high and twitching shows excitement, but this is often mistaken for anger. Flattened ears mean that the cat feels threatened. Mouth open and no teeth exposed suggest a feeling of playfulness or pleasure.
Many people fail to understand the silent language of cats. In particular, “dog people” who are used to the signs of “dog language” seem slow to understand what a cat is telling them in its body language, which creates a false impression among “dog people” that cats are cold-hearted, unemotional, or dumb.
To understand cats, one must observe them closely and learn what their body signals tell you. The flattened ears, teeth showing, baring belly for submission（服从）are easily “read” by humans. Some characteristic signals, however, are often misunderstood. For instance, a cat rubbing its body along an arm or a leg of its owner is not only a way to attract attention and, perhaps, ask for a bit of food. It is also a way of “marking” its owner as its very own.
68. A cat with its tail held high and twitching is usually mistaken for_________.
A. anger B. confidence C. excitement D. comfort
69. “Dog people” think that cats are cold-hearted, unemotional, or dumb because they _____.
A. are more used to the language that dogs speak
B. can’t understand the language that cats use
C. are slow to understand a cat’s body language
D. prefer to raise dogs rather than have cats
70. Which of the following is NOT the reason why a cat rubs its body along the arm or leg of its owner?
A. To attract attention from its owner.
B. To show the care about its owner.
C. To ask its owner for a little of food.
D. To mark its owner as its own.
71. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Study Cat Language B. Animal Body Language
C. Compare Cats with Dogs D. A Cat’s Body Language
E
Dealing with emotions is very important to your health, but how do we go about doing so, and what exactly is “dealing with emotions”?
Dealing with emotions is facing, accepting and working through them. We always have emotions, so we have to learn to deal with them. Usually, people do not want to feel what they are feeling. They may be ashamed of these feelings, or they just do not like a certain emotion. For example, you start to like your friend’s girl / boyfriend. You don’t know how it happened, but you’re now stuck with an embarrassing feeling. You may try to suppress(抑制) these feelings. If you ignore them, maybe they’ll go away, right? WRONG! The chances are small that your feelings will just leave you alone. You’ll most probably feel terrible about yourself, plus, the suppressed emotions will lead to more pressure!
Here’s a suggestion: keep a diary in which you can write down your feelings. This diary is a way for you to think about who you are! By writing down and analyzing your feelings, you become aware of the real reason why you feel that way and the emotion becomes less painful. Some questions you could ask yourself when you’re writing in your diary are: What am I feeling? Why am I feeling this?
Take the above example and you might discover that it is not your friend’s girl / boyfriend that you like so much, it’s the idea behind it. You may learn that you’re lonely. By writing in the diary, you find all this out and solve the problem because you no longer like your best friend’s girl / boyfriend, and have something else to focus on.
72. How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?
A. You may feel anxious, and those feelings give you pressure.
B. You may get rid of those feelings because they turn into pressure.
C. You are not probably feeling bad because the pressure is suppressed.
D. You are in complete disorder and don’t know what to do.
73. From the passage, how can you deal with your emotions?
A. Ignore them and go on studying.
B. Write down the feelings and analyze them.
C. Try to suppress these feelings.
D. Let these feelings go naturally.
74. What does “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. taking an example. B. analyzing your bad feelings.
C. liking your friend’s girl / boyfriend. D. Keeping a diary.
75. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. dealing with emotions B. keeping a diary
C. how to deal with pressure
D. bad effects of suppressing feelings

Dear Mike,
I am glad to know that you are interested in learning Chinese. I am writing to give you some suggestions on how to learn it well.
First, you can go to Chinatown because a lot of Chinese people live and work there. Talking with the Chinese shopkeepers provides you with good opportunities to practice your oral Chinese. Second, you can make friends with Chinese people, especially those from Beijing who can speak standard Chinese. Your Chinese will be greatly improved if you keep communicating with them, such as having parties and going camping with them. Finally, you can also learn Chinese by listening to Chinese radio programs and watching Chinese movies, which can help you learn about Chinese culture as well as improve your Chinese.
I hope you can make great progress in Chinese.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Sally entered a college planning to study physics. But she felt torn between tennis and college so she left the school to play professional tennis. She practiced hard for just three months. Then she decided that she would never be good enough to become a top player.
After giving up her tennis dreams, she entered Stanford University in 1970. There she earned her degrees, one in English and one in physics. Sally continued her education at Stanford. After earning her PhD, she planned on more study. But one day in 1977, a newspaper article caught her attention. The article talked about how young scientists were wanted. Sally asked for the space program but did not expect to be chosen. Just 35 were selected among over 8,000 people. Sally was one of them. She entered astronaut training in 1978 with five other women.
