第三部分： 阅读理解
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 ★
A mother of a cheerful five-year-old just returned from a meeting of the National Organization for Women. Inspired by exciting dreams for the possibilities of womanhood, she asked her daughter what she wanted to be when she grew up. Little Lisa quickly answered, “A nurse.”
There was a time when nursing was thought of as a woman’s job and the answer somehow seemed not to be satisfied. She had, after all, just returned from a new meeting.
“You can be anything you want to be,” she re-minded her daughter. “You can be a lawyer, a doctor, a banker, president of the country — you can be any-thing.”
“Anything?” Lisa asked.
“Anything!” her mother smiled.
“I know,” Lisa said. “I want to be a horse!”
Lisa’s dream may need some improvement, but there is plenty of time for that. When do we give up dreaming about the future? When do we resign (听任) ourselves to simply replaying dreams from the past?
Maybe her dream needs to mature (成熟) a bit, but would you rather have the optimism (乐观) of a five-year-old girl who wants to be a horse, or the pessimism (悲观) of an adult who says in despair, “I can’t be anything at all”？
Teddy Roosevelt said, “Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground.” I believe that is the way to make those dreams come true. It begins with looking up and dreaming of something beautiful.
56. What did the girl really want to be when she grew up?
A. A nurse. B. A horse. C. A banker. D. A lawyer.
57. How did the mother feel when hearing her daughter’s first answer?
A. Satisfied. B. Puzzled. C. Disappointed. D. Excited.
58. The lesson we can learn from the passage is that we should ______.
A. stop children dreaming of something strange
B. advise parents how to educate children
C. encourage adults to learn from children
D. help children to set up a big goal
59. The true meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph is “______”.
A. Stand on the ground and watch the stars
B. Have a big dream and work hard
C. Protect your eyesight while working
D. Find a good way to watch the stars
B ★★
When it comes to learning a foreign language, many people wonder if they will be able to memorize enough vocabulary. But this question never happens about their mother tongue, and yet, it was a foreign language once. However, among all the questions that new parents ask, no doctor has ever heard: “Will my baby be able to learn my language?” Be honest. Do you know all the words of your mother tongue? The answer is: “no”.
New words, and new ways of using old words, appear every day. Twenty years ago, who would have been able to understand a sentence like this: “Click here to download your digital book”? Nobody. You never stop learning new vocabulary and you never know how long you will need it.
Sometimes, you have the word on the tip of your tongue ... and it sticks there! But you do know this phenomenon (现象) and don’t think that it is because of a bad memory. You should not give this phenomenon more importance in the language you are learning than in your mother tongue.
You need to learn only 2,000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need. You can’t avoid (避开) some work in order to learn these necessary words and all the more if you want to learn quickly. And before you consider buying into any method, be sure it is right for you. It is not wise to depend on any method based upon memotechnics (记忆术). The first words seem very easy to learn; so, you buy the course; but then you discover quickly, though too late, that a dozen words later, it is all the more difficult to learn a new word when you have also to learn the trick to memorize it.
60. From the first paragraph, we know that ______.
A. there is no need to know all the words of a for-eign language
B. it is honest to answer “no” to a question you don’t know
C. a baby can know all the new words of its mother tongue
D. people find it hard to memorize vocabulary of their language
61. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.
A. you have no courage to speak the word
B. you just fail to remember the word
C. you are not sure of the word
D. you daren’t open your mouth to speak the word
62. To learn a foreign language, the author advises you ______.
A. to remember new words according to memo-technics
B. to keep up with new ways of using old words
C. to learn at least 2,000 necessary words
D. to pay more attention to your bad memory
63. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. using old words in a new way
B. learning new words from the context
C. finding a method to memorize vocabulary
D. learning vocabulary of a foreign language
C ★★
When greeting someone, an American’s first instinct (本能) is to stick out his or her hand, look directly at the other person, and smile. In some situations, this habit can mean making three mistakes at once. And the moment of greeting is when important first impressions are made. Methods and styles of greeting vary greatly around the world, and you need to know which practices apply in different conditions.
A handshake is not the universally good greeting. Also, “Look them right in the eye” is not always the best advice.
When greeting Asians for the first time, do not start the handshake. You may be forcing a physical contact that the other person finds uncomfortable. Many Asians, particularly Japanese, have learned to accept the handshake when dealing with Westerners. Because the bow (鞠躬) is the usual greeting in Japan, a slight bow of the head when responding to a handshake is suitable.
Middle Easterners, particularly Muslims, avoid body contact with the opposite sex, but persons of the same sex commonly hug when greeting each other. When shaking hands, men should be careful not to pull their hand away too quickly. People from France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal greet friends by kissing on both cheeks.
The smile is the universal gesture of friendliness, and in America its meaning is usually clear. The person smiling is happy, or sending out a friendly signal. In other cultures the smile may be sending other signals. In some Latin cultures, for example, the smile may be used to say “Excuse me” or “Please”.
If a person from another culture does not return your greeting smile, it doesn’t show bad manners. In some Asian cultures, smiling is a gesture for informal occasions, and smiling while being formally introduced would be considered disrespectful.
In many cultures, avoiding eye contact is a sign of respect, but such behavior can lead to misunderstandings. For example, some Asian students have been regarded as disrespecting their American teachers because they do not look at the teacher while he or she is speaking.
64. This passage mainly talks about ______.
A. the importance of the first impression
B. body language in different cultures
C. practices of greeting in business
D. greetings in different cultures
65. When two Middle East men meet, they will greet each other by ______.
A. shaking their hands quickly
B. hugging each other
C. kissing on both cheeks
D. lowering their heads slightly
66. In America, the gesture “smile” is used to say “______”.
A. I’m glad B. Excuse me C. Please D. Sorry
67. If you avoid eye contact in America, you may be considered ______.
A. cold B. foolish C. impolite D. shy
D ★★★
Where can you go to listen to a cook, a senator (参议员) or a scientist talk about important subjects? BigThink.com is a new website created to provide discussions between world experts and Internet users. Subjects discussed on BigThink include the environment, music and questions about happiness and personal identity. The website has been called a YouTube for thinkers.
Victoria Brown and Peter Hopkins created Big-Think.com. They said that people need an international stage on which to exchange, discuss, and debate the important ideas of our time.
At the BigThink website, when you click on a subject, you find a video (视频) of a person talking about his or her ideas. For example, you can listen to United States Senator Ted Kennedy talking about education and civil rights. Under their videos, you can read the comments and questions written by other visitors to the website. More than one hundred experts express their ideas on the website.
BigThink also has an important list of financial (财政的) supporters. These include Peter Thiel who helped create the PayPal company; Larry Summers, a former United States secretary of the Treasury, and David Frankel, a businessman from South Africa.
BigThink’s creators started the website by first getting famous people to agree to be videotaped. They began by interviewing several well-known professors from Harvard University, which they had attended. Then they used the names of these professors to gain the trust of others and get them to take part in the pro-ject.
The website says BigThink belongs to everyone. Its motto is: “We are what you think.” So, go online and start thinking big.

Earlier this month, the Chinese Anti-scumware League announced lawsuits (官司) against Zhongsou.com, Ebay.com.cn and Yahoo! China.
What’s the problem? The companies are responsible for spreading bad software called “scumware”. The league was formed by a group of netizens (网民) from across China. About 30 lawyers have also joined to help the society. So far, many netizens have expressed their support to the league and criticized the creation and spreading of scumware.
What is scumware? And why do people hate it so much?
Scumware refers to any unwanted software that has been installed (安装) on your computer by companies without permission. Scumware eats your computer memory, slows down its reacting speed, and takes over your browser (浏览器). It sometimes even causes financial loss. Most scumware is installed when people visit certain websites or install certain software. It’s difficult to get away from scumware. Once you have it, you may have it forever.
So how should you protect your computer from such software?
The best preventative way is not to give them the chance to infect (感染) your PC. Don’t visit unfamiliar websites. When a site asks you to download and install certain “plug-in”, don’t click “OK” unless you trust the software.
Choose safer Web browsers. Many browsers, such as Firefox and Maxthon, provide more safety than Internet Explorer.
Don’t download and install unknown software. Scumware can pretend to be normal programs.
If your computer has been infected already, get anti-scumware software. Many can be bought in the market. Some are free, such as Qihoo’s 360 Safeguard and Rising’s Kaka Online Helper. Find and install them on your computer so they can get rid of the scum.
72. The passage is mainly about how to ______.
A. recognize bad software
B. choose safe browsers
C. deal with scumware
D. install safe software
73. Ebay.com.cn and a few other websites had a law-suit because ______.
A. they spread scumware
B. they cheated netizens out of money
C. they offered false information
D. they caused financial loss
74. According to the passage, scumware may ______.
A. destroy the operation system
B. get rid of your browser secretly
C. make your computer work slowly
D. damage your computer’s hardware
75. Once your computer is infected by scumware, you can ______.
A. use Firefox or Maxthon instead
B. use Rising’s Kaka Online Helper
C. get rid of the infected programs or texts
D. call the Chinese Anti-scumware League to help you

My Own Android
I have an android named Allen, which was made in January, 2008. He is about 1.5 metres in height and has artificial intelligence. This means he can talk with everyone. Sometimes we play chess or play games. Allen can do almost all the housework, such as cleaning the house and cooking the dinner, but the best thing Allen can do is that when no one is at home, he can take care of my grandpa, who is quite old now. My grandpa is satisfied with Allen’s service.
Of course, if Allen can be updated when necessary, I think, that’s much better.
