Ⅲ.阅读理解
CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW HARD IT WOULD BE TO READ SENTENCES LIKE THIS? Every one of us gets so used to punctuation marks that not many of us give them a second thought. Actually, the ancient Greeks wrote this way. The lack of punctuation marks probably didn't bother good readers, though. As they read, they just put pauses where they fit best. Also at this time, sentences switched directions. A sentence read from left to right. The next one read right to left, and then left to right again, etc. The ancient Romans sometimes punctuated like this: They·put·something·that·can·separate·words·in·a·sentence. The word punctuation actually comes from this idea and the Latin word puncture, which means a dot.
When the 5th century arrived, there were just two punctuation marks: spaces and points. The spaces separated words while the points showed pauses in reading. Then in the 13th century, a printer named Aldus Manutius tried to standardize punctuation. He always used a period for a complete stop at the end of a sentence. He used a slash (/) to indicate a short pause. Over time, that slash was shortened and curled, and it became the modern comma(逗号)．
Since that time, other marks have enlarged the punctuation family. The exclamation mark(感叹号) comes from the Latin word io. It means “exclamation of joy”. The question mark originally started out as the Latin word questio，meaning question. Eventually, scholars put it at the end of a sentence to show a question.
Punctuation even keeps changing nowadays. New marks are coming into existence, and old punctuation marks are used in new ways. Take for example the “interrobang”. This 1962 invention combines the question mark and exclamation mark for times when writers want both. For example, “She did what！？” or “How much did you pay for that dress！？” Obviously, the interrobang is not widely used or recognized yet, but its invention shows that English is not yet finished with its punctuation.

A
The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare's time is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.
In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.
The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son's funny facial expressions. Gone was my father's critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father; who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I'm at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I'm delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
【解题导语】 本文是记叙文。叙述了“我”在对父亲的一次拜访中对父亲印象的改变——从前那个严厉的、高不可攀的父亲变得和蔼可亲了。由此“我”感叹自己有了一位新朋友。

解析：选C 推理判断题。由第三段第三、四句可知：原来父亲critical和strict，现在变得friendly和interesting，由此可推出作者现在对父亲的印象是温和的、友好的。
7．The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to .
A．the author's son
B．the author's father
C．the friend of the author's father
D．the cafe owner

B．A few years ago.

Ways to Stop Doubting Yourself
What if I don't pass this test? Are my friends just hanging out with me because they feel bad for me？ 1 Stop! The self-doubt stops right here. Here are some ways to beat negative self-talk and start believing in yourself.
?Be Aware.
The first step towards overcoming anything is to become aware of it. By becoming aware that we are doubting ourselves, we can sooner confirm it and put a stop to it. As we realize our self-doubt, we will get quicker at confirming and stopping it. See? 2
?Take a Break.
Sometimes it is our mind that goes against us. Whenever you find yourself having doubts, take a break. 3 Ask yourself what made you get into this goal. It will get you to realize why you started it in the first place.
? 4
Too often we determine how we feel about ourselves according to what other people feel about us. Our self-worth is just dependent upon what we think of ourselves. So we must break free of the chains that tell us our self-worth is recognized by other people.
?Find Support.
5 Find support through friends and read other inspirational websites.Sometimes we all need to hear something that will get us moving again. We just need to reach out to others who understand us.
A．Take It Slow.
B．Free Yourself.
C．Give yourself time to think.
D．It's not always easy doing things alone.
E．This is already a step in the right direction.
F．What if I never figure out my life's purpose?
G．Because once you give up, no one can help you.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了几种停止怀疑自己的方法。
1．解析：选F 空前面是两个问句，后面是“Stop”，所以本空也需要填一个问句，故选F项。
2．解析：选E 由空前的“当我们意识到自我怀疑时，我们可以及时确认并且及时制止。”可知，此处表示这已经是朝着正确方向前进的一步了，所以选E项。
3．解析：选C 根据前一句“Whenever you find yourself having doubts，take a break.”即“无论什么时候你发现自己有疑问，休息一下。”，可知空处应是“给自己思考的时间”，故选C项。
4．解析：选B 本段的最后一句说明应该“解脱自己”，所以选B项。
5．解析：选D 根据“Find support through friends and read other inspirational websites.”可知，空处应是“独自做一些事情是不容易的。”，所以选D项。

Wild elephants can tell whether a voice comes from a man，a woman or a boy，a new study says. That's what researchers found when they played recordings of people for elephants in Kenya. Scientists say this is an advanced thinking skill that other animals haven't shown. It lets elephants figure out who is a threat and who isn't. The result shows that the clever animals are also studying people，said study author Karen McComb，a professor at the University of Sussex in England.
“Basically，they have developed this very rich knowledge of the humans that they share their habitat with，”said McComb.“Memory is key. They must build up that knowledge somehow.”
The study was released on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
It's close to but not quite like the Dr. Seuss book，where the elephant Horton hears something that others can't hear.
McComb and colleagues went to Amboseli National Park in Kenya，where hundreds of wild elephants live among humans，sometimes coming in conflict over scarce water. The scientists used voice recordings of Maasai men，who on occasion kill elephants，and Kamba men，who are less of a threat to the elephants.
As a result，the elephants reacted more defensively—retreating and gathering in a bunch—to the Maasai language recording because it was associated with the more threatening human tribe，said study co-author Graeme Shannon.
They repeated the experiment with recordings of Maasai men and women. Since women almost never spear elephants，the animals reacted less defensively to the women's voices. The same thing happened when they substituted young boys' voices. “Making this kind of fine distinctions in human voice patterns is quite remarkable，”said Emory University animal cognition expert Frans de Waal，who was not part of the study.
【解题导语】 研究表明野生大象能够识别男、女和男孩的声音，它们通过思维区分声音并判断谁能对他们产生威胁。
1．Who were the people taking part in the study?
A．Frans de Waal and Karen McComb.
B．Dr.Seuss and Graeme Shannon.
C．Graeme Shannon and Frans de Waal.
D．Karen McComb and Graeme Shannon.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“study author Karen McComb”和第六段中的“study co-author Graeme Shannon”可知，Karen McComb和Graeme Shannon都参加了研究，故选D项。
2．What can wild elephants benefit from their special ability?
A．Identifying and avoiding possible danger.
B．Growing much faster than any other animals.
C．Having a better understanding of humans.
D．Developing their language skills.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Scientists say this is an advanced thinking skill that other animals haven't shown.It lets elephants figure out who is a threat and who isn't.”可知，这种高等的思维方式使野象能够分辨出谁能对它们造成威胁，这样它们可以避免可能的危险，故选A项。
3．Which can replace the underlined word “substituted”in the last paragraph?
A．Distinguished. B．Repeated.
C．Used. D．Compared.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。画线词所在句中的“The same thing happened”指的是前一句中的“the animals reacted less defensively”，画线词所在句讲的是野象对年轻男孩的声音做出的反应，说明当时研究者在对野象播放年轻男孩的声音，故选C项。
4．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Wild elephants can distinguish human languages.
B．The conflict between humans and wild elephants is growing.
C．Wild elephants use language skills to make discrimination.
D．Wild elephants can build up good memory and learn tricks.
解析：选A 主旨大意题。根据文章第一句“Wild elephants can tell whether a voice comes from a man，a woman or a boy”和全文内容可知，野象能够通过人的声音区分不同人类群体的性别和年龄，故选A项(野象能够区分人类的语言)。
B
The possibility that pleasant smells might reduce pain has recently been suggested by a new study. In a scientific study, doctors asked 20 men and 20 women to keep their hands in very hot water for as long as possible while breathing in different smells.
As people believe that strong smells can affect the senses, volunteers were asked not to eat or drink for eight hours before the experiment began. During the experiment, volunteers were asked to take in pleasant smells such as vanilla (香草精), and unpleasant smells such as durians (榴莲)．The volunteers kept their hands in the water until it became too hot for them. When they could not bear the pain any more, they took their hands out of the water.
Scientists are interested in whether the sense of smell is related to pain and whether men and women have the same senses. Now, the study has proved that for women, pleasant smells reduce pain. For men, there is no change.
Dr. Finkelstein has been studying smells since 1999.He says that scientists already have data from 40 volunteers. He adds that this year, scientists will test another 60 volunteers and will be in a better position to explain the results.
One explanation is that women's sense of smell developed long ago, and is linked to recognizing the smell of babies. Scientists used to believe that mothers recognized their children by sight only. Now, they have started to believe that the sense of smell also helps, but why pleasant smells do not reduce pain in men is a question still to be answered by scientists.
【解题导语】 最新研究成果表明令人愉快的气味有减少疼痛的可能性。研究结果证明女性闻到令人愉快的气味能减少疼痛，但男性对于令人愉快的气味则没有感知疼痛的变化。

The students of Class 3 had a discussion about whether it is necessary to start learning English from childhood.
One possible version：
The students of Class 3 had a discussion about whether it is necessary to start learning English from childhood.
Opinions are divided on this issue. Some of them think that English learning should start from childhood. As little boys and girls have a very good memory, they can learn a lot of English words by heart. This will help them lay a solid foundation for their future English learning.
But others do not agree. Young children have to learn Chinese pinyin at school. If they study Chinese pinyin and English at the same time, it will be very likely for them to mix them up. This will do a lot of harm not only to their Chinese learning but also to their future English learning.
In short, the students have not arrived at any agreement yet.

Wondering which New York City museums to see first? These four Manhattan institutions are the city's most visited.
Metropolitan Museum of Art
Visitors per year: more than 6 million
The draw: one of the world's most comprehensive art museums, with nearly 2 million works of art from five millennia of human history.
Highlights: popular permanent exhibitions include the American Wing, Egyptian Art—especially the cavernous room devoted to the Temple of Dendur—and Medieval Art.
Best time to beat the crowd: around 11 a．m., once the opening lines have dissipated.
American Museum of Natural History
Visitors per year: almost 5 million
The draw: a science museum with dinosaur fossils, exhibitions chronicling virtually all known animal and human history and, yes, some eye-popping IMAX movie action.
Highlights: the Butterfly Conservatory features hundreds of live butterflies in a heated environment that feels like an oasis (绿洲) in winter.
Best time to beat the crowd: late afternoons or early on Sunday mornings.
Museum of Modern Art
Visitors per year: 3 million
The draw: modern works that, in some cases, push the boundaries of what many people think of as art.
Highlights: Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh are among the many well-known artists whose work is on display at MoMA.
Best time to beat the crowd: first thing when it opens.
Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum
Visitors per year: 1 million
The draw: a real-life aircraft carrier that saw service in World War Ⅱ and the Vietnam War and is now a museum moored (停泊) along the Hudson River.
Highlights：among the sights are the USS Growler submarine, a British Airways Concorde supersonic jet and the Enterprise—a space shuttle used in test flights that may be the most awe-inspiring attraction of all.
Best time to beat the crowd: first thing when it opens.

I started to learn English from the first grade. That year I was six. In class I learned basic phrases for greeting and describing objects. I don't have much memory for the first year of English learning. The only thing that I still remember is reading vocabulary list. A classmate of mine who was good at English would lead the whole class to read the list. One of the new words that I learned that year was “earth”. “The earth orbits the sun，” he said in Chinese. Every time we came to the word “earth”， he would repeat that sentence. I was secretly admiring him because he knew the earth orbits the sun.
My family moved when I was in my second grade, and I transferred (转学) to a private school. My English class continued. Luckily I could use the same series of textbooks.
I stayed in the same private school for my junior high school, which is from the 7th to the 9th grade. In junior high school, I hardly felt my English skill improved because the first English class here was still titled “Good Morning” and the content was still basic greetings.
Following was one year of high school life: a different school, the same story.
Then my family moved again, and I began to really use English. We came to America. I attended a couple years of high school, and now I'm in college. I learn to write essays and start to read books in English. I can see my progress. However, I still have a lot of space to improve. In writing, the flow between sentences isn't good and I'm still using basic words. In speaking, maybe because I hang out with Chinese speaking friends too much, it takes me time to think when telling long stories.

C．Disappointed. D．Relaxed.

B．She still isn't very fluent in English.
C．She has no chance to speak Chinese now.
D．She likes practicing English through telling long stories.

Though in a digital age, college students nowadays are still holding fast to traditional books. According to the National Association of College Stores, digital books make up just under 3% of textbook sales, although the association expects that share to grow to 10% to 15% by 2014 as more titles are made available as e-books. However, three-quarters of the students, who grew up learning from print books, say that they are unwilling to give up the ability to turn over quickly between chapters, write in the edges and highlight passages.
The new technology has produced various options for students. College Booksellers, which operates 636 campus bookstores nationwide, is now marketing its new software application, which allows students to read e-textbooks on PCs. The company introduced the free application last summer in hopes of attracting more students to buy its electronic textbooks. “Now the biggest barrier is getting them to try it，” said the company's vice president.
But not every textbook is available in digital or rental format. Generally, an e-textbook is cheaper than a used book, though more expensive than a rental. The expense of college textbooks has become a great concern and teachers from over 40 colleges nationwide are encouraged to assign texts that are less expensive, or to offer them free online. As the buy-back price drops greatly and quickly, some professors suggest that the book stores should not have the last say and there should be something for students to decide by themselves.
【解题导语】 本文为一篇说明文。虽然现在已经进入数字时代，但大多数大学生仍然钟爱传统纸质书籍。
28．College students prefer traditional books mainly because they .
A．want to keep the ability of reading print books
B．have the habit of turning over quickly between pages
C．find it interesting to keep notes in the edges of books
D．feel more relaxed to read print materials
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“由于从小就用纸质书籍学习，因此有四分之三的学生不愿放弃在章节间迅速翻动，在空白处写字，标注文章。”可知答案为A。
29．Which of the following is NOT true according to the 2nd paragraph?
A．College Booksellers operates more than 600 bookstores in campus.
B．The free application was introduced to increase sales of electronic textbooks.
C．Campus students now fancy a try of the free software application.
D．The company's management still has to do more to sell the e-books.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的“Now the biggest barrier is getting them to try it ...”可知在校学生并没有表示出对这款免费软件有所钟爱，故答案为C项。
30．We can learn from the passage that .
A．second-hand books are cheaper than rental books
B．all the textbooks have both the digital and rental formats
C．the price totally determines the student's selection of books
D．the price of buy-back books is determined by book stores
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“随着回购价的急剧下降，一些教授建议对于图书回购价书店不应该有最后的定价权，回购价应该由学生自己决定。”可见目前图书回购价格是由书店决定的。
31．The best title for the text would be .
A．Addiction to Traditional Books
B．Print Books in a Digital World
C．More Texts in Digital Format
D．Book Price Drops Sharply and Quickly
解析：选B 标题归纳题。文章是以数字时代纸质书籍在学生中的地位为线索展开的，故本篇文章的题目为：数字世界的纸质书籍。
D
People who smoke could lose around one third of their everyday memory, researchers say.
A study by a team at Northumbria University has shown that smokers lose more of their memory when compared to non-smokers. And the research also found that those who kicked the habit saw their ability to recollect information restored to almost the same level as non-smokers. The study involved more than seventy 18-to-25-year-olds and included a tour of the university's campus.
Those who took part were asked to recall small details, such as music acts listed to play at the students' union and tasks completed at various points—known as real world memory test. Smokers performed badly, remembering just 59 percent of tasks. But those who had given up smoking remembered 74 percent and those who had never smoked recalled 81 percent of tasks.
Dr. Tom Heffernan, who leads Northumbria University's Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group, said the findings would be useful in anti-smoking campaigns. He said：“Given that there are up to 10 million smokers in the UK and as many 45 million in the United States, it's important to understand the effects smoking has on everyday cognitive fun_ction—of which prospective memory is an excellent example.”
“This is the first time that a study has set out to examine whether giving up smoking has impact on memory. We already know that giving up smoking has huge health benefits for the body, but this study also shows how stopping smoking can have knock-on benefits for cognitive functions too.”
The research will now investigate the effects of passive smoking on memory, while Dr. Heffernan and Dr. Terence O'Neill will look into the effects of third-hand smoking—toxins (毒素) left on curtains and furniture.
【解题导语】 本文是说明文。研究人员称，吸烟者会比不吸烟者多丧失约1/3的日常记忆。
32．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Smoking does harm to health.
B．Smoking can affect one's memory.
C．Smokers take a tour to the university's campus.
D．Smokers are compared to non-smokers.
解析：选B 主旨大意题。文章第一句是主题句，即“研究人员称，吸烟者会丧失约1/3的日常记忆。”由此可见，本文讲的是吸烟对记忆力的影响。
33．When asked to recall small details, .
A．smokers performed very well
B．non-smokers could recall about half of them
C．smokers did the worst among the participants
D．those who gave up smoking did best
解析：选C 细节理解题。第三段中提到，研究人员请那些参与者回忆一些细节，那些吸烟者表现很差，只记得59%的任务。但那些戒烟者记得74%的任务，从未吸过烟的人记得81%的任务。即吸烟者表现最差。
34．According to Dr. Tom Heffernan, the findings .
A．would contribute to fighting against smoking
B．would be really a surprise to the public
C．would be used in real world memory test
D．would be nothing new to the researchers
解析：选A 细节理解题。第四段中提到，Tom Heffernan博士说这些研究发现将有助于反吸烟活动的开展。
35．What does the underlined word “impact” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?

One of my earliest memories was watching my mom talk on our old phone.I was fascinated that she could talk to someone who wasn't actually in the room with her. 36 I was wondering how she managed to talk with someone she couldn't see.
37 Later，we had mobile phones that could be carried around the room.Then came computers and smart phones.These days I can send an e-mail around the world in a second.My daughter's smart phone has a hundred apps and a dozen social media accounts.She stores all of her information in a mysterious place known as“the cloud”，where she can take it out at any time.It seems that we are more connected in this world than ever before.
38 Few take the time to talk face to face.Instead of looking into the eyes of our loved ones，we stare at our screens.It seems as if the most connected generations are also the loneliest.
Don't let technology take our time and ruin our life.Make the time to meet，to pray and to communicate with each other.Take a walk on the beach with a friend.Have a long conversation with the phones off and the hearts on. 39
Remember that we are here to love each other，help each other and make this world a better place. 40 But when it can't，turn it off.
A．That was a long time ago.
B．Connect offline as well as online.
C．Smart phones have both advantages and disadvantages.
D．We should communicate with each other with phones off.
E．When your technology can help to do these things，then use it.
F．However，what bothers me is that we rarely associate with each other nowadays.
G．When she left the room，I slowly walked over to the phone and stared at it for a while.

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何让家更安全。
61．解析：考查非谓语动词。固定搭配wait to do sth.意为“等着做某事”，故填to happen。
答案：to happen
62．解析：考查介词。固定搭配look after意为“照看”，与“while their parents go away”呼应。
答案：after
63．解析：考查冠词。break意为“休息”，是可数名词，此处表泛指，故用不定冠词修饰。
答案：a
64．解析：考查副词。修饰形容词应用副词，故用副词totally修饰形容词OK，在句子中作状语。
答案：totally
65．解析：考查名词单复数。surprise此处意为“意想不到的事”，是可数名词，且被a few修饰，故用复数形式。

答案：which
67．解析：考查时态。in case引导的状语从句中，从句用虚拟语气，常用“should ＋ do”的形式；也可以不用虚拟语气，主从句时态一致，故用tries。

答案：them
69．解析：考查形容词。修饰名词应用形容词，故用形容词dangerous在句子中作定语，与the most呼应。
答案：dangerous
70．解析：考查被动语态。句子主语Knives与keep之间构成动宾关系，故用被动语态be kept。
答案：be kept

Recently, our class have had a discussion about whether it is necessary for parents to rent a house to company their children near the school.
One possible version：
Recently, our class have had a discussion about whether it is necessary for parents to rent a house to company their children near the school.
35% of my classmates support the idea. They say they'd rather live in such a house because the conditions and the environment there are much better, which they think is very necessary, for their studies. However, 65% of the students don't think it a good idea. In their opinion, it is a waste of money and parents' energy. Besides, the parents' company may make the children feel more nervous.
Since every coin has its two sides, I think everyone should consider their own personal situation before they decide whether they need to rent a house and their parents' company.
