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,从所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
A popular student in her small high school, Katie started college expecting to do well in her courses and be best friends with her roommates. But things didn' t turn out that way. Psych 101, the course she thought would be a first- semester favorite, turned out to be a struggle. And her roommates were as different from Katie as the student restaurant' s mystery meat was from her mom' s roasted pork.
Living away from home tends to be the toughest adjustment for first -year students. You may feel homesick in your first weeks or months. It can help to call, write, or email your parents and friends making them know how you' re doing. You can also talk with your roommates. As first – year students themselves, they' re probably experiencing many of the same fears and worries that you' re dealing with.
But what if you don' t get along well with your roommates?
In some cases, it can be a good thing if you and your roommates aren' t much alike. Different views on things may be helpful, so respect your differences no matter what.
If you and your roommates don' t get along well, it can help to find someone who you feel does understand you, which should be easy on a campus with so many people. Many schools have student organization nights where all of the campus clubs gather and promote their organizations, so you can meet people with the same interests there as you. You' ll also meet tons of people in class or in your dorm building.
As homesickness, painful throats, sprained (扭伤的) ankles and wisdom teeth that act up are common among college students, you should check out your student guidebook or your school' s website to find out information about the university health center.
If you think you cannot deal with your problems, make a stop at the school counseling (咨询) center. First -year troubles are something the counselors know well. You can get help there.
56. From Paragraph 1 we can infer that ________.
A. Katie had been worried about the changes before starting her college life
B. Katie felt satisfied when her college life started
C. Katie wasn't used to the new environment in college at first
D. Katie has fallen behind in her study after the first semester in college
57. What' s the author' s suggestion on dealing with homesickness?
A. Adjust to it.
B. Share fears and worries with your parents.
C. Talk to your roommates about it.
D. Get along with your roommates.
58. Which of the following ways of dealing with roommates is RIGHT?
A. Not trying to change them.
B. Not making friends with them.
C. Developing the same interests as them.
D. Not talking with them.
59. What's the main idea of the text?
A. Communication is important in college.
B. Freshmen may meet many problems.
C. How you can adjust to your first year in college.
D. How schools help freshmen to get used to college life.
B
The first breath - taking pictures of the Earth taken from space showed it as a solid ball covered by brown land masses and blue -green oceans. We had never seen the Earth from that distance before. To us, it appeared as though the Earth had always looked that way and always would. Scientists now know, however, that the surface of the Earth is not as permanent as we had thought.
Scientists explain that the surface of our planet is always moving. Continents moves about the Earth like huge ships at sea. They float on pieces of the Earth' s outer skin. New outer skin is created as melted rock pushed up from below the ocean floor. Old outer skin is destroyed as it rolls down into the hot area and melts again.
Only since the 1960s have scientists really begun to understand that the planet Earth is a great living machine. Some experts have said this new understanding is one of the most important revolutions in scientific thought. The revolution is based on the work of scientists who study the movement of the continents--a science called plate tectonics.
The modern story of plate tectonics begins with the German scientist Alfred Wegener. Before World War One, Wegener argued that the continents had moved and were still moving. He said the idea first occurred to him when he observed that the coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together like two pieces of a puzzle. He proposed that the two continents might have been one and then split apart.
Wegener was not the first person to wonder about the shape of the continents. About 500 years ago, explorers thought about it when they made the first maps of Americas. The explorers noted the east coast of North America and South America would fit almost exactly into the west coast of Europe and South Africa. What the explorers did not do, but Wegener did, was to investigate the idea that the continents move.
60. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?
A. The first breath - taking pictures of the Earth taken from space.
B. Human' s recognition of the earth' s surface.
C. The German scientist Alfred Wegener.
D. The early explorers' discovery.
61. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. We didn' t see the Earth from far away until we saw the picture taken from space.
B. Our ancients thought that the surface of the earth was moving.
C. Alfred Wegener was not the first person to investigate the idea that the continents move.
D. The coastline of India and Africa fit together.
62. The last word of the third paragraph "tectonics" means "_________".
A. study of construction
B. study of architecture
C. earth surface
D. structural geology
63. What did the explorers find?
A. The coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together.
B. The coastlines of North America and Africa could fit together.
C. The east coastlines of North America and the west coast of Europe could fit together.
D. The coastlines of North America and India could fit together.

BEIJING -- The rescue operations at a coal mine accident have ended with 105 miners dead. The State Council has organized an investigation team to look into what caused the disaster in the city of Linfen, North China' s Shanxi Province. Preliminary (初步的) investigations show the illegal mining of an unauthorized seam(未经授权的煤层), and the number of miners who had been sent down the shaft(通道) far exceeded its capacity(超出能量).
This mine was found to have long ignored the rules to steal state coal, and did not have a list of miners employed to check the number of miners missing after the accident.
How did such a coal mine get all the necessary licenses for production? How did it pass the three safety inspections the local government organized last month?
In response to this disaster, the Shanxi governor promised to set up hotlines for people to report illegal coal mines and rewards as high as 100,000 yuan for tip -offs.
We appreciate the action this governor has taken to solving the coal mining problems, and we believe that the reporting scheme will help to stop the existence of illegal coal mines.
But at the same time we have reason to question how governments at various levels supervise (监督) these mines.
The sad fact that such a mine with serious safety problems could pass three consecutive(连续的) local government safety inspections in a month is enough to tell us how ineffective the safety
inspections were.
What if these inspections were just a formality(例行公事) ? What if the inspectors were bribed(贿赂) by the mine owners to turn a blind eye to the safety dangers? We can well imagine what would happen if reports about mine problems were handled by such officials. So a thorough investigation must find out who are responsible for the death of so many miners. A real safety inspection and management system must be established to guarantee that safety dangers will be removed.
68. What is NOT one of the causes of this coal mine accident?
A. The workers didn' t operate properly.
B. The mine didn't obey the rules to mine for coal.
C. A lot more miners than allowed were working under the mine.
D. The safety inspections were ineffective.
69. According to the writer, who should be further investigated?
A. Mine owners and miners. B. Miners' families and mine staff.
C. Government officials and safety inspectors.
D. The Shanxi governor and miners.
70. What can we infer from the passage?
A. More than 105 miners died in the disaster.
B. Some other coal mines like this one exist in Shanxi province.
C. Safety inspectors just turned a blind eye to hidden dangers.
D. The three inspections were only a formality.
71. What does the underlined word "tip - offs" probably mean in Paragraph 4 ?
A. Some warnings. B. Some money for one' s service.
C. Some secret information. D. Some pieces of advice.
E
The document, entitled The Analysis of and Forecasts for Social Development (or the Blue Book on Chinese Society), said 38.4 percent of the 7,000 families interviewed had been affected by the unstable employment situation.
In urban areas, the unemployment rate is now 9.4 percent, twice the registered(登记、记录) rate of 4.5 percent released(发布) by the Human Resources and Society Security Ministry. Central and western parts of the country, which have less - developed economies, are facing a more severe unemployment situation than wealthy coastal areas, while big cities have a higher unemployment rate than small towns.
Natural disasters and rising costs due to the global economic slowdown have caused thousands of small and medium-sized firms to close down this year, leaving millions of migrant workers (农民工) jobless, the report said.
"The global financial crisis has bad a profound(深远的) effect on the Chinese economy and society," said Li Peilin, director of the CASS Institute of Sociology.
The report also said that the number of people graduating from college rose to a new high of 5.6 million this year. But as of August, just 70 percent of them had found work. By the end of the year, more than 1.5 million fresh graduates will be without a job, while 6.1 million others will enter the job market next year.
"The widening income gap between rich and poor will restrict the purchasing power of middle and low- income families, especially during the economic recession(衰退)." Li Peilin warned.
The average income of 20 percent of the richest families is 17 times higher than that of 20 percent of the poorest ones. The rich also own far more home appliances, such as refrigerators, mobile phones and computers. Just 4 percent of poor families have a computer, compared with 66 of rich families.
"It is very important to improve the income situation in China in order to promote domestic demand," said Li Wei, a CASS researcher and one of the writers of the report.
72. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. 38.4 percent of the families were affected by the unstable employment situation.
B. It will be more difficult for fresh graduates to find jobs.
C. Unemployment is more serious in small towns than in big cities.
D. Many finns have closed down because of natural disasters and rising costs.
73. What does the underlined sentence imply in paragraph 6?
A. The middle and low -income families will be unable to buy their necessities.
B. The economic recession is worsening, so rich families should limit their purchasing power.
C. Poor families will put more money aside for future use due to their decreasing incomes.
D. The bigger income gap between rich and poor will result in lower purchasing power on the
whole.
74. What' s the attitude of Li Peilin towards the present situation?
A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Anxious. D. Disappointed.
75. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. More fresh graduates will not find a job.
B. The problem of unemployment is becoming more serious in China.
C. The global financial crisis has a profound effect on China' s economy and society.
D. It's necessary to narrow the income gap between rich and poor to promote consumption.

(One possible version)
How to reduce the students' burden has always been a hot topic. The educational department of a city has launched strict rules to ban classes on weekends, which has aroused heated discussions among students' parents.
Some parents are strongly in favor of this decision. They think after the students have stayed at school the whole week, they should get relaxed. Besides, free weekends help to guarantee the time for the family member to have fun together. However, other parents hold the view that schools are supposed to have classes on weekends. They think if given more free time , some of the students won' t concentrate on their studies and might even fall into bad habits.
In my opinion, middle school students should be given more free time. Studying lessons at school is not the only goal of our 1 fie. Youngsters often have their good hobbies and interests. It is necessary to have enough time to develop them.
