第三部分: 阅读理解 (C)
Mountain lions live in mountainous areas of the western United States. Lately, however, people have reported seeing them in quiet neighborhoods all across the country! Usually considered shy and seldom seen, these lions are becoming more noticeable. In addition, the lions appear to be moving east. They were even reported in the suburbs of Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago.
It seems certain that these “Kings of the mountains” are moving. Why Scientists are not sure. Some think that as the mountain lion population increases in the west, younger wild cats are leaving the area. These cats are searching for new homes and new places for food.
“The young males are looking for new homes,” says Lynn Sadler, who is the director of the Mountain Lion Foundation in Sacramento, Calif. “People tend to create too many barriers, such as buildings, fences, roads, and noise. As the mountain lions seek new places and food and water sources, these barriers get in their way.”
The sightings(亲眼目睹) have made people increasingly watchful (警惕的). Sometimes the “mountain lions” that people report seeing turn out to be large dogs or even house cats. But at least a few of the meetings have been real. The building of new roads, the growing of suburbs and the growing popularity of outdoor activities are all increasing the chances that people in various parts of the country may meet up with a mountain lion.
Because many people are concerned about the reappearance of the American lion, an expert outlined some ways they can avoid attracting the wild cats: Never leave pets or pet food outside; properly care for farm animals; and plan public land use to enable the lions to move safely from one place to another.
“To be fair,” says the expert, “mountain lions are trying to regain their homes. They were here first. Now we need to find ways we can live together.”
63. Mountain lions are moving probably because _________.
A. the suburbs of big cities are peaceful and quiet B. more roads are being built into the mountains
C. the number of the lions increases in the west D. young lions are seeking new partners
64. According to the passage, it is clear that _______. A. the reported sightings of mountain lions have not been proved
B. people walking in the country may come across a lion
C. fences have been built to protect the lions D. mountain lions prefer urban areas
65. To avoid attracting mountain lions, people are advised ___________.
A. to build more roads for the lions to move safely B. to keep a close watch on their farm animals
C. not to stay outdoors D. not to raise pets
66. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Mountain Lions in Unlikely Places B. Measures Taken to Avoid Lions
C. Number of Sightings Going Up D. Mountain Lion Moving West
( D )
It’s the place where smart people make smart machines work even smarter. But for the people who work in it, Silicon Valley (硅谷) is more than just a high technology hothouse. It’s also in the sunny California, a great place to start a family and raise kids. What could be better
But something is happening to the children. Up until the age of two, they develop normally. Their proud parents watch and smile as they take their first steps and speak their first words. But then everything seems to go backwards. The children become locked into their own small world, unable to communicate at all.
They call it the “curse of Silicon Valley”, but the medical name for the condition is autism (孤独症). It used to be thought that autism was a mental illness. Now doctors are sure that it is a disease transmitted genetically (遗传). It seems that the people leading the communications revolution are having children who cannot communicate at all.
But even the parents have trouble communicating. Asperger’s Syndrome (综合症) is connected with autism. People who have it are highly intelligent and often brilliant with numbers or systems but have no social skills, which makes Asperger’s sufferers into excellent computer professionals. Unfortunately, many of the children of two Asperger’s parents in Silicon Valley seem to be developing serious autism.
There is little anyone can do. And there is no cure in sight. Some argue that no cure should be found. “It may be that autistics(孤独症患者) are essentially different from normal people, but that these differences make them valuable for the evolution of the human race,” says Dr. Kirk Wilhelm of University of California. “To remove the genes for autism could be unnecessary.” It seems that the children in Silicon Valley are paying the price of genius.
67. A person who has autism usually ____________.
A. has difficulty in speaking B. loses communication skills C. has trouble in working D. hates people around
68. Which of the following best explains “curse of Silicon Valley”
A. The children are brought up in Silicon Valley. B. Autism only occurs in Silicon Valley.
C. Children suffer from autism due to their parents with Asperger’s Syndrome working in Silicon Valley.
D. Children living in Silicon Valley unable to communicate.
69. Some people think that no cure of autism should be found because _________.
A. autism always does more good than harm B. autism isn’t a disease
C. harm will be done to the children D. autism is necessary in some way
70. What does the writer seem to feel about the children of Silicon Valley
A. It’s a pity that they cannot have a normal life. B. They are the pride of the human race.
C. They are sure to have a bright future. D. It’s likely that they will have a normal life.
任务型阅读 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
Teamwork is just as important in science as it is on the playing field or in the gym. Scientific investigations(调查) are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. Ideas are shared, experiments are designed, data are analyzed, and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators. Group work is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone.
Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. Whatever the task your group is assigned, a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience.
What comes first is to keep an open mind, because everyone’s ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his own contribution. Second, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths. Third, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. Mutual support and trust often make a great difference.
Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups. Here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during these activities: Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her, and everyone knows exactly when, why and what to do take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be aware of where other group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety; be responsible for your own learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members.
When there is research to be done, divide the topic into several areas, and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way. You're encouraged to keep records of the sources used by each person, which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly. A format for exchanging information (e.g., photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.) is also important, for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily understood. When the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group. Most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement.
After you’ve completed a task with your team, make an evaluation of the team’s effectiveness — the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges.

第三部分: 阅读理解 (C)
Mountain lions live in mountainous areas of the western United States. Lately, however, people have reported seeing them in quiet neighborhoods all across the country! Usually considered shy and seldom seen, these lions are becoming more noticeable. In addition, the lions appear to be moving east. They were even reported in the suburbs of Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago.
It seems certain that these “Kings of the mountains” are moving. Why Scientists are not sure. Some think that as the mountain lion population increases in the west, younger wild cats are leaving the area. These cats are searching for new homes and new places for food.
“The young males are looking for new homes,” says Lynn Sadler, who is the director of the Mountain Lion Foundation in Sacramento, Calif. “People tend to create too many barriers, such as buildings, fences, roads, and noise. As the mountain lions seek new places and food and water sources, these barriers get in their way.”
The sightings(亲眼目睹) have made people increasingly watchful (警惕的). Sometimes the “mountain lions” that people report seeing turn out to be large dogs or even house cats. But at least a few of the meetings have been real. The building of new roads, the growing of suburbs and the growing popularity of outdoor activities are all increasing the chances that people in various parts of the country may meet up with a mountain lion.
Because many people are concerned about the reappearance of the American lion, an expert outlined some ways they can avoid attracting the wild cats: Never leave pets or pet food outside; properly care for farm animals; and plan public land use to enable the lions to move safely from one place to another.
“To be fair,” says the expert, “mountain lions are trying to regain their homes. They were here first. Now we need to find ways we can live together.”
63. Mountain lions are moving probably because _________.
A. the suburbs of big cities are peaceful and quiet B. more roads are being built into the mountains
C. the number of the lions increases in the west D. young lions are seeking new partners
64. According to the passage, it is clear that _______. A. the reported sightings of mountain lions have not been proved
B. people walking in the country may come across a lion
C. fences have been built to protect the lions D. mountain lions prefer urban areas
65. To avoid attracting mountain lions, people are advised ___________.
A. to build more roads for the lions to move safely B. to keep a close watch on their farm animals
C. not to stay outdoors D. not to raise pets
66. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Mountain Lions in Unlikely Places B. Measures Taken to Avoid Lions
C. Number of Sightings Going Up D. Mountain Lion Moving West

It’s the place where smart people make smart machines work even smarter. But for the people who work in it, Silicon Valley (硅谷) is more than just a high technology hothouse. It’s also in the sunny California, a great place to start a family and raise kids. What could be better
But something is happening to the children. Up until the age of two, they develop normally. Their proud parents watch and smile as they take their first steps and speak their first words. But then everything seems to go backwards. The children become locked into their own small world, unable to communicate at all.
They call it the “curse of Silicon Valley”, but the medical name for the condition is autism (孤独症). It used to be thought that autism was a mental illness. Now doctors are sure that it is a disease transmitted genetically (遗传). It seems that the people leading the communications revolution are having children who cannot communicate at all.
But even the parents have trouble communicating. Asperger’s Syndrome (综合症) is connected with autism. People who have it are highly intelligent and often brilliant with numbers or systems but have no social skills, which makes Asperger’s sufferers into excellent computer professionals. Unfortunately, many of the children of two Asperger’s parents in Silicon Valley seem to be developing serious autism.
There is little anyone can do. And there is no cure in sight. Some argue that no cure should be found. “It may be that autistics(孤独症患者) are essentially different from normal people, but that these differences make them valuable for the evolution of the human race,” says Dr. Kirk Wilhelm of University of California. “To remove the genes for autism could be unnecessary.” It seems that the children in Silicon Valley are paying the price of genius.
67. A person who has autism usually ____________.
A. has difficulty in speaking B. loses communication skills C. has trouble in working D. hates people around
68. Which of the following best explains “curse of Silicon Valley”
A. The children are brought up in Silicon Valley. B. Autism only occurs in Silicon Valley.
C. Children suffer from autism due to their parents with Asperger’s Syndrome working in Silicon Valley.
D. Children living in Silicon Valley unable to communicate.
69. Some people think that no cure of autism should be found because _________.
A. autism always does more good than harm B. autism isn’t a disease
C. harm will be done to the children D. autism is necessary in some way
70. What does the writer seem to feel about the children of Silicon Valley
A. It’s a pity that they cannot have a normal life. B. They are the pride of the human race.
C. They are sure to have a bright future. D. It’s likely that they will have a normal life.
任务型阅读 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
Teamwork is just as important in science as it is on the playing field or in the gym. Scientific investigations(调查) are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. Ideas are shared, experiments are designed, data are analyzed, and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators. Group work is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone.
Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. Whatever the task your group is assigned, a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience.
What comes first is to keep an open mind, because everyone’s ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his own contribution. Second, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths. Third, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. Mutual support and trust often make a great difference.
Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups. Here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during these activities: Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her, and everyone knows exactly when, why and what to do take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be aware of where other group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety; be responsible for your own learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members.
When there is research to be done, divide the topic into several areas, and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way. You're encouraged to keep records of the sources used by each person, which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly. A format for exchanging information (e.g., photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.) is also important, for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily understood. When the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group. Most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement.
After you’ve completed a task with your team, make an evaluation of the team’s effectiveness — the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges.
