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，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A I recently got pulled over for speeding not far from my new home in Virginia. I hadn’t been paying attention, and I had driven a few miles an hour over the speed limit. “Can I see your license and registration?” the police officer asked me. I pulled both out for him, and he saw my Pittsburgh address on my Pennsylvania driver’s license. “What are you doing here?” he asked. “Are you with the army?”

“No, I am not.” I answered. I explained that I had just moved to Virginia, and I hadn’t had time to re-register yet. “So what brings you here?”

He had asked a direct question. Without thinking very hard, I gave him a direct answer. “Well, officer,” I said, “ since you’ve asked, I have cancer. I have just months to live. We’ve moved down here to be close to my wife’s family.”

“So you’ve got cancer,” he said flatly. He was trying to figure me out. Was I really dying? Was I lying? He took a long look at me. “You know, for a guy who has only a few months to live, you sure look good.”

He was obviously thinking: “Either this guy is pulling one big fat line on me, or he’s telling the truth.” He was trying to question my honesty without directly calling me a liar. And so he had forced me to prove that I was being honest.

“Well, officer, I know that I look pretty healthy. I look great on the outside, but the

tumors(肿瘤) are on the inside.” And then, I don’t know what possessed me, but I just did it. I pulled up my shirt, showing the operational scars.

He looked at my scars. He looked in my eyes. He now knew he was talking to a dying man. Well, he wasn’t taking this any further. He handed me back my license. “Do me a favor.” he said, “Slow down from now on.”

The awful truth had set me free. As he went back to his police car, I had a realization. I had been a beauty who could bat her eyelashes(眉目传情) and get out of tickets. I drove home under the speed limit, and I was smiling like a beauty queen. 51. The author was stopped by the police officer because_______________. A. he didn’t have a license

B The Netherlands on Monday introduced its first-ever “intelligent bicycle”, fitted with electronic devices to help bring down the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in the bicycle-mad country.

Developed for the government by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research(TNO), the intelligent bicycle runs on electricity. A commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1,700 to 3,200 euros per bicycle.

The devices on the bike are linked through an onboard computer with a

vibrating(震动的) warning system fitted in the bicycle’s saddle(车座) and handlebars(车把) to warn cyclists of the coming danger.

The saddle vibrates when other cyclists approach from behind, while the handlebars do the same when barriers appear ahead.

“Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed,” said Maurice Kwakkernaat, one of TNO’s research scientists involved in the project. “The onboard system technology has already been at work in the car industry,” he said.

“More and more elderly people are using a bicycle, not only for short distances, but also for longer distances,” Dutch Environment and Infrastructure Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen told AFP. “This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue to enjoy cycling,” she said.

In the Ntherlands, bicycles outnumber the population of 17 million by at least one million and there are some 25,000 km of bicycle path in the country. Those statistics are set to grow as more and more people take to two-wheeled transport, leading to an increased risk of injury.

Last year, 184 cyclists died in the country, of which 124, or 67﹪, were older than 65, according to the Central Statistics Office. The year before, 200 cyclists died, the majority of victims also being elderly.

The current model weighs 25 kilograms but researchers are working on making the onboard systems smaller.

55. The “intelligent bicycle” is aimed to _______________.

A. protect the environment B. help reduce traffic pressure C. popularize the use of bicycles D. improve safety for elderly cyclists

56. Which part of the intelligent bicycle will vibrate when other cyclists approach it from behind?

A. The saddle. B. The wheels.

C. The handlebars. D. The onboard computer.

57. We can learn from the passage that _______________.

A. the elderly ride bicycles wherever they go

B. the elderly are planning to give up cycling C. the number of elderly cyclists is decreasing D. the accident rate among elderly cyclists is high

58. Which is the best title for the passage?

A. A Test Bicycle B. Elderly Cyclists C. A Smart Bicycle D. A Bicycle-mad Country

C

Sensing phantom phone vibrations(手机虚幻震动) is a strangely common experience. Around 80% of us have imagined a phone vibrating in our pockets when it’s actually completely still. Almost 30% of us have also heard non-existent ringing. Are these signs of madness caused by digital culture? Not at all. In fact, phantom vibrations and ringing indicate a fundamental principle in psychology.

Psychologists use a concept called Signal Detection Theory to guide their thinking about the problem of perceptual(感知的) judgments. Working through the example of phone vibrations, we can see how this theory explains why they are a common and unavoidable part of healthy mental function.

When your phone is in your pocket, the world is in one of two possible states: the phone is either ringing or not. You also have two possible states of mind --- the judgment that the phone is ringing, or the judgment that it isn’t. Obviously you’d like to match these states in the correct way. True vibrations should go with “it’s ringing”, and no vibrations should go with “it’s not ringing”. Signal detection theory calls these faithful matches a “hit” and a “correct rejection”

But there are two other possible combinations you could mismatch true vibrations with “it’s not ringing” (a “miss”); or mismatch the absence of vibrations with “it’s ringing” (a “false alarm”). This second kind of mismatch is what’s going on when you imagine a phantom phone vibration.

What does that mean in terms of your phone? We can assume that people like to notice when their phone is ringing, and that most people hate missing a call. This means their perceptual systems have adjusted their bias(偏向) to a level that makes misses unlikely. The unavoidable cost is a raised likelihood of false alarms of phantom phone vibrations.

The trade-off between false alarms and misses also explains why we all have to put up with fire alarms going off when there isn’t a fire. It isn’t that the alarms are badly designed, but rather that they are very sensible to smoke and heat and biased to avoid missing a real fire at all costs. The outcome is a rise in the number of false alarms. These are inconvenient, but nowhere near as inconvenient as burning to death in your bed or office. The alarms are designed to err on the side of caution.

59. The writer tries to explain phantom phone vibrations _______________. A. by analyzing some facts B. by giving some examples

C. from the angle of biology D. from the angle of psychology

60. According to the writer, the sense of phantom phone vibration is . A. strange and mad B. harmful but avoidable

C. common and unavoidable D. universal but unhealthy

61. When we judge correctly that “it’s not ringing”, this is called a “ ”. A. hit B. miss

C. false alarm

D. correct rejection

62. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? A. Better late than never. B. Better safe than sorry.

C. Fight over the smallest things. D. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.

D

Ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we’ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and grew hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it wrong.

According to The Secret of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s---much later than previously thought.

Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.

This continuing research has followed 6000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive(认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can

remember) and problem solving.

Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual(感知的) speed----how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem---solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.

Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with aging. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.

63. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that _______________.

A. the young are better at handling important things

B. people’s brains work best between their 40s an 60s C. aging leads to the decline of the function of the brain D. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of aging

64. The continuing research has found older people perform better on ______.

A. vocabulary tests B. number ability C. perceptual speed D. body balance

65. People are happier with age because _______________.

A. they learn to value the time left B. they know how to share feelings

C. they cannot focus on negative aspects D. they do not realize the possible dangers 66. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. People get wiser with age.

B. People get more forgetful with age.

C. People get happier with age.

D. People get more self-aware with age.

A generation of parents raised according to the permissive principles of postwar childcare experts is rediscovering the importance of saying “No” to their children. They are beginning to reclaim the house as their own. Even spanking(打屁股) is back.

While today’s parents do not want to return to the Victorian era---when children

were seen, spanked, but not heard---there is a growing acknowledgement that the laissez-faire approach produced a generation of children running rings around puzzled parents struggling to restore order.

Janthea Brigden, a trainer with Parent Network, says: “The problem is that parents don’t want all that controlling things. What they want is to be able to discipline their children through teaching and encouraging.”

According to Steve Biddulph, the author of More Secrets of Happy Children, the permissive era was often just an excuse to ignore children. He believes discipline involves firm but friendly teaching and does not need to involve punishment. He teaches a method called “stand and think”, where a child is helped to figure out what is wrong and how to get it right. Mr. Biiddulph understands parents using spanking, but he is against it. “The happiest children are those who know Mum and Dad are in charge. As children grow into their teens, more negotiation can take place, such as: Prove you can be home safely by 11pm, and we might let you stay out till midnight.”

“There is no good evidence that an occasional, properly administered spanking is harmful in any way.” Says John Rosemond, and American who has won a huge following by calling for “parent power”. It is pure nonsense to believe that restricting children to their room as a punishment could make them have negative feelings about the room and cause sleep problems.

Mr. Rosemond tracks the overturning of traditional family values to the end of the Second World War. He blames the change of the American family into a child-centered, self-respect-oriented unit on psychologists and social workers, who for 30 years have weakened traditional approaches. Previous generations of American parents raised children not by the book, but by self-evident truth, he says. Children should be seen and not heard. If you make your bed, you’ll have to lie in it. He says that those phrases contain time-honored understanding and principles that helped children to develop what we refer to as the “three Rs” of parenting: respect, responsibility and resourcefulness. 67. Which is closest to the meaning of the underlined word “laissez-faire” in the second paragraph? A. Let it be. B. Go for it.

C. Get it right. D. Take it easy.

68. If his child did something wrong, Steve Biddulph would ______________.

A. give him a good beating

B. lock him up in a dark room

C. ask him to stand in a corner for hours

D. help him find out the problem and solution

69. By mentioning the underlined part in the last paragraph, Mr. Rosemond _______________.

A. blames parents for ignoring children’s rights

B. reminds parents to communicate more with children

C. encourages parents to involve children more in family affairs D. explains how previous generations of parents raised children 70. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. The causes of discipline problems. B. The best way to discipline children.

C. Different opinions on ways of parenting.

D. Differences between parents of different times.

Possible Version:

People who want to succeed should have good habits, while good habits are determined by good daily behaviors. Owing a good behavior is the essential step to get access to success.

When I was in Grade One in the senior high, I found maths boring and difficult to learn. So in maths class, my mind was always wandering. Gradually, my bad behaviors turned into bad habits. I was always falling asleep during the class and even hated maths. As a result, I was left far behind in maths and got a very low mark in the final exam. Having been taught a lesson, I made up my mind to change my behavior and became active in class. Step by step, I caught up with others.

What I have learnt from my own experience is that our daily behavior is very important and that bad behaviors can form bad habits. Even a small bad habit can ruin our dream.(158w)
