第三节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Someone asked me, “what do you think of youth?” I showed him a can of COKE. See this?
“C” means “courage”. There’s a seed in everyone’s heart. As long as you really keep watering it, it will grow and harvest. Courage gives us the power to follow our dreams. Believe in yourself and be prepared for anything in the future.
“O” stands for “optimism”. When in trouble, some people feel disappointed but some people still keep their dreams. Be sure to choose the latter. Life is very much like a mirror. If you smile at it, it smiles back at you. If you frown, you will get a similar look in return. Throw away the sadness in your heart while fill it with brightness and hope.
“K” can be understood as “knowledge”. In order to keep up with the times, we should use knowledge to enrich ourselves. Knowledge is the food of thought and, as long as it is put in our brain, we will grow wiser.
“E” is short for “enthusiasm (热情)”. Enthusiasm is the sign of youth. We use colourful paint-brushes in our hands to create the pictures of youth on our own. Let the sky and sea know we’re young. Let out our enthusiasm wherever we go.
Drink a can of COKE. You will find your youth as refreshing (有活力的) as a can of coke. Enjoy and value your youth.

Two frogs fell into a deep hole. All of the other frogs gathered around the hole to see what could be done to help them. When they saw how deep the hole was, they agreed that it was hopeless and told the two frogs that they should prepare themselves for their fate.
Unwilling to accept this terrible fate, the two frogs began to jump with all of their strength. Some of the frogs shouted into the hole that it was hopeless. After several hours of effort they were quite weary. Finally, one of the frogs gave up and lay down at the bottom of the hole. The other frog continued to jump with every ounce (少量) of energy he had.
His companions shouted again into the hole for him to accept his fate, stop the pain and just die. The frog jumped harder and harder and—wonder of wonders—finally jumped so high that he sprang from the hole. Amazed, the other frogs celebrated his freedom and then gathered around him, asking, “Why did you continue jumping when we told you it was impossible?” Reading their lips, the frog explained to them that he was deaf, and that when he saw their gestures and shouting, he thought they were cheering him on. What he had mistaken for encouragement inspired him to try harder and to succeed!

An underwater robot (机器人) that can hear the calls of whales, and so help ships to avoid them, has just been successfully tested in the Bahamas.
The scheme （方案） relies on a fish-shaped glider (滑翔机) that moves freely through the ocean. It can dive down as far as 200 meters below the surface and direct itself by shifting a weight from fore to aft. A microphone attached to the bottom of the glider can pick up calls from all whales, including the high frequency call of the beaked whale, which until now has been difficult to detect. The glider returns periodically to the surface to radio its data back to base, or if that’s too far away, it can call a satellite phone and send its information anywhere in the world.
“We are entering a new era of underwater sensing,” says Jim Theriault of Defence Research and Development Canada, Dartmouth, who ran the test. “We can put a glider in the Bahamas and control it in Nova Scotia.”
The hope is that naval or other ocean-going operations that use sonar (声纳) will be able to move easily to track where whales are, and so avoid using their noisy equipment when they are close by. There is circumstantial evidence (旁证) that sonar can upset whales and a number of strandings (搁浅) have been seen shortly after naval sonar operations. “We’re trying to lower the potential risk by knowing the animals are there,” says Theriault.
44. The shape of the underwater robot is like .
A. a man B. a fish C. a snake D. a turtle
45. The underwater robot is built to .
A. help whales move to the Bahamas B. help whales give birth to their young
C. help ships avoid whales D. help humans kill more whales
46. To radio its data back to base, the robot has to .
A. dive down as far as 200 meters below the surface B. stay deep in the water
C. call a satellite phone D. come to the surface periodically
47. The best title for the passage would be “ ”.
A. Whales are in danger B. Whales are difficult to find
C. Robot built to kill whales D. Robot built to spy on whales

Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed that the boy ahead of him had tripped and dropped all the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry part of the burden.

But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow.

Nowadays, many young people have access to the radio, but they listen only to music programs. There aren’t actually any programs to inform them about how youth could take part in social activities.
Youth are not only interested in knowing what the latest music top hits are, but they also want to learn about other things, especially how young people can take part in solving different social problems. There should be radio programs for teens that do care about the society!
But now it seems that, neither do TV channels have programs about social issues, nor are the young people eager to learn more about their society. How could young people participate if they never find out about what’s happening around them?
Newspapers and magazines are still the most popular media. They reach people who could never watch a TV program or never had access to the Internet. Yet, youth can’t even participate; their opinions, ideas and attitudes find no place in the pages of the big magazines.
Teen magazines are really interesting and exciting, but because of their “cool-attitude”, they are actually never read by serious adults.
Let’s see the difference between what we are shown on media and what we want to see: society’s belief is that adolescents don’t care about anything, only enjoying themselves and thinking of petty things like clothes, parties, dating, etc; but, on the other hand, the Mass Media shows only what some young persons want to see, such as soap operas, violent TV shows, advertisements of fashion clothes, etc; which make us all look like complete trivial (浅薄的) and cold people.
If teenagers were given the opportunity to participate in the medias, everybody would see what we really are: youth wanting to make a change.
52. What youths nowadays need most are .
A. soap operas related to their schools
B. music progammes which they can take part in
C. programmes edited and hosted by themselves
D. programmes in which they can participate to solve different social problems
53. Which of the following is a disadvantage of teen magazines?
A. Their themes are too narrow, usually covering only education-related ones.
B. Students’ opinions, ideas and attitudes find no place in them.
C. They are not accessible to most of the students.
D. They are not dedicated to young people eager to fight to make their countries
a better place.
54. The underlined word “adolescents” in the sixth paragraph probably means .
A. children under ten B. adults C. young people D. old people
55. The author’s attitude towards the media nowadays is .
A. affirmative B. negative 21世纪教育网
C. angry D. both satisfied and worried

Nowadays, many young people have access to the radio, but they listen only to music programs. There aren’t actually any programs to inform them about how youth could take part in social activities.
Youth are not only interested in knowing what the latest music top hits are, but they also want to learn about other things, especially how young people can take part in solving different social problems. There should be radio programs for teens that do care about the society!
But now it seems that, neither do TV channels have programs about social issues, nor are the young people eager to learn more about their society. How could young people participate if they never find out about what’s happening around them?
Newspapers and magazines are still the most popular media. They reach people who could never watch a TV program or never had access to the Internet. Yet, youth can’t even participate; their opinions, ideas and attitudes find no place in the pages of the big magazines.
Teen magazines are really interesting and exciting, but because of their “cool-attitude”, they are actually never read by serious adults.
Let’s see the difference between what we are shown on media and what we want to see: society’s belief is that adolescents don’t care about anything, only enjoying themselves and thinking of petty things like clothes, parties, dating, etc; but, on the other hand, the Mass Media shows only what some young persons want to see, such as soap operas, violent TV shows, advertisements of fashion clothes, etc; which make us all look like complete trivial (浅薄的) and cold people.
If teenagers were given the opportunity to participate in the medias, everybody would see what we really are: youth wanting to make a change.
52. What youths nowadays need most are .
A. soap operas related to their schools
B. music progammes which they can take part in
C. programmes edited and hosted by themselves
D. programmes in which they can participate to solve different social problems
53. Which of the following is a disadvantage of teen magazines?
A. Their themes are too narrow, usually covering only education-related ones.
B. Students’ opinions, ideas and attitudes find no place in them.
C. They are not accessible to most of the students.
D. They are not dedicated to young people eager to fight to make their countries
a better place.
54. The underlined word “adolescents” in the sixth paragraph probably means .
A. children under ten B. adults C. young people D. old people
55. The author’s attitude towards the media nowadays is .
A. affirmative B. negative 21世纪教育网

Dear sir,
I read your ad. in the newspaper yesterday. I hope to be a volunteer for the 2008 Beijing Olympics
It is a great success to win the bid for hosting the 29th Olympic Games. As a Chinese, I take pride in it. At the same time, I think being a volunteer is pretty meaningful. If I were chosen, I could take this opportunity to introduce Eastern culture and the Chinese spirit to the world.
I have been studying in Beijing No.2 Middle School since September, 2005. I have many hobbies such as writing, singing, running, playing table-tennis. So I am quite healthy. And in daily life I am very optimistic and enthusiastic. I am also good at speaking English. I have got the first place in our school’s English speech con－test. I believe I can be fit for the job.
I look forward to hearing from you. 21世纪教育网
Yours sincerely,
Song Yanyan
