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,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Having a dental fear(牙科恐惧症)is a common problem. Learning to overcome your fear of the dentist is possible with a little determination and guidance. It is worthwhile to overcome the issue as healthy teeth might help you be healthy physically and spiritually. Admission
Admitting you have a fear is the first step in overcoming dental fear. When you acknowledge your fear, you can start the process. Dentistry has come a long way over the years. The anesthetics(麻醉)are improved, the techniques are of higher quality and dental offices have a better understanding of these issues you are concerned and all these can help you overcome it. Research
Speak to family and friends about your fear. Be open and honest about your issues and get feedback from them regarding their dental experiences. You can contact your local Dental Society and express your concerns. Another good approach is to simply call dental offices and get useful information from
the front office staff. First visit
Most dental offices schedule your first visit by a dental assistant. This gives you a chance to ease into the situation. Do not hesitate to express your fear and hesitation. Pay attention to what the assistant says. It can be very useful and it can gently guide you to a new attitude towards dentists. Relaxation techniques
There are many things you can do to relax yourself. Slow, steady, deep breathes are keys to relax properly. Another aid in relaxation is to bring your iPod to play some relaxing music while you are in the dental chair. Music is a wonderful tool to use and is a helpful distraction.
Facing your fear and making the first dental appointment are necessary for your health. Ignoring your dental health because of your fear will only worsen the issues and cause you to have serious dental problems.
56. We can learn from the first paragraph that ______. A. few people might have the dental fear
B. it’s impossible to overcome the dental fear
C. it’s not necessary to pay attention to dental health D. it’s meaningful to overcome the dental fear
57. You can start the process of overcoming dental fear after______.
A. making an appointment with a good dentist B. learning something about dental health C. admitting your dental fear D. asking advice from other people 58. What should you do when you first visit a dentist?
A. Avoid telling your fear and hesitation B. Listen carefully to the assistant’s advice C. Ask someone to accompany you D. Avoid showing any attitude towards the dentists 59. In the last paragraph the author wants to express ______.
A. one must be brave enough to face the reality B. dental fear can be overcome easily C. it’s quite difficult to be honest D. fear is a natural thing that everyone might have
B
Once upon a time,the animals decided that they must do something heroic to meet the problems of” a new world”.So they organized a training school.
They adopted an activity curriculum(课程) consisting of running,climbing,swimming and flying.To make it easier to manage the curriculum,all the animals took all the subjects.
The duck was excellent in swimming,in fact,better than his instructor,but he made only passing grades in flying and was very poor in running.Since he was slow in running,he had to stay after school and also drop swimming in order to practice running.This was kept up until his webbed(脚蹼) feet were badly worn and he was only average in swimming.But average was acceptable in school,so nobody worried about that except the duck.
The rabbit started at the top of the class in running,but had a nervous breakdown because of so much make-up work in swimming.
The squirrel was excellent in climbing until he developed frustration in the flying class where his teacher made him start from the ground up instead of from the treetop down.He also developed a “Charlie horse” and then got a C in climbing and a D in running.
The eagle was a problem child and was disciplined severely.In the climbing class he beat all the others to the top of the tree,but insisted on using his own way to get there.
At the end of the year,an abnormal eel that could swim very well,and also run,climb and fly a little,had the highest average and was the one who gave a good-bye speech.
The prairie dogs stayed out of the school because the administration would not add digging to the curriculum.
60.Why was the duck kept after school according to the passage? Because ________. A.he only passed in flying B.he ran very slowly C.he wasn’t good at swimming D.he had to practice climbing 61.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.an abnormal eel’s average score is the highest in all subjects B.the squirrel met frustration before practicing climbing C.the rabbit liked to make up in water so she failed at last D.in fact,the duck behaved better than any other animal in class 62.What’s the reason that the eagle was disciplined?
A.He was a problem child. B.He beat all to become the best.
C.He didn’t do as teachers taught. D.He decided to climb to the top of the tree. 63.What activity curriculums were not offered in this training school? A.Running. B.Swimming. C.Flying. D.Digging.
C
Many of us have heard stories about teachers who can “see” into a student’s future. Even if a student is not performing well, they can predict success. We are convinced that this ability, this gift, is evidence that they were “called to teach.” If the gift of sight is evidence, how greater must be the gift of touch. I have a story.
I grew up in a poor African American neighborhood in Stockton, California, that had neither sidewalks nor an elementary school. Each day, always in groups at our parents’ insistence, my friends and I would leave home early enough to walk eight blocks to school and be in our seats when the bell rang. For four blocks, we walked on dusty roads. By the fifth block, we walked on sidewalks that led to lovely homes and to Fair Oaks Elementary School. It was at Fair Oaks, in a sixth grade English class, that I met Ms. Victoria Hunter, a teacher who had a huge influence on my life.
During reading periods, she would walk around the room, stop at our desks, stand over us for a second or two, and then touch us. Without saying anything to us (nothing could break the silence of reading periods), she would place two fingers lightly on our throats and hold them there for seconds. I learned many years later when I was a student at Stanford University that teachers touch the throat of students to check for sub-vocalization (默读), which slows down the reading speed. I did not know at the time why Ms. Hunter was touching our throats, but I was a serious and respectful student and so, during silent reading period, I did what Ms. Hunter told us to do. I kept my eyes on the material I was reading and waited for her to place her fingers lightly on my throat.
One day, out of curiosity, I raised my head from my book — though not high — so that I could see Ms. Hunter, a white woman from Canada, moving up and down the rows, stopping at the desks of my classmates. I wanted to see how they reacted when she touched their throats. She walked past them. I was confused. Did she pass them by because they were model students? What did we, the students who were touched, not do right? I sat up straighter in my chair, thinking that my way of sitting might be the problem. I was confused. Several days later, I watched again, this time raising my head a little higher. Nothing changed. Ms. Hunter touched the same students. Always, she touched me. She touched me with her hands. She also touched me with her belief in my ability to achieve. She motivated me by demanding the best from me and by letting teachers I would meet in junior high school know that I should be challenged, that I would be serious about my work. I am convinced that she touched me because she could “see” me in the future. That was true of all of us at Fair Oaks who sat still and silent as Ms. Hunter placed her fingers lightly on our throats. We left Fair Oaks as “best students,” entered John Marshall Junior High School, finished at the top of our high school class, and went on to earn graduate degrees in various subjects. Ms. Hunter saw us achieving and she touched us to make certain that we would.
I was not surprised that she came to my graduation ceremony at Edison High School in Stockton or that she talked to me about finishing college and earning a Ph. D. She expected that of me. She gave me a beautifully wrapped box. Inside was a gift, the beauty of which multiplies even as it touches me: a necklace to which I can add charms for each stage of my life.
64. When she saw Ms. Hunter walk past some students without touching their throats, the writer felt _________.
A. disturbed B. puzzled C. ashamed D. annoyed 65. According to the passage, how did Ms. Hunter motivate the writer? A. By correcting the way she sat. B. By having high expectations of her. C. By sending her a valuable necklace. D. By communicating with her parents often.
66. What does the writer mean by “a necklace to which I can add charms for each stage of my life” (paragraph 6)?
A. A gift which encourages me to do well on the journey of my life. B. A gift which becomes more and more valuable as time goes by. C. A necklace which I wear on all important occasions in my life. D. A necklace which suits me and adds to my charm.
67. Which of the following serves as the best title for the story? A. Ms. Hunter’s Surprise B. Ms. Hunter’s Challenge C. A Teacher’s Touch D. A Teacher’s Memory
D
There are many great movie directors of all time and the following are five of those who have
largely impressed audience with their body of work.
As a member of the New Hollywood gang, Francis Coppola is best remembered for The God Father series. His decision to cast Marlon Brando in the lead also met with fierce opposition from the studio bosses. Good sense became popular, and The God Father went on to become one of the most memorable movies ever. Critics may point out that he has become less creative after his seventies, but try as one might, no one can possibly take the place of this great director’s work. Stanley Kubrick’s movies focus on the themes like sci-fi, horror, dark humor and war. He used symbolism in most of his movies, giving us some wonderful screen visuals, as shown in 2001: A Space Odyssey. His actors in Hollywood complained about the endless number of retakes, but they appreciated the performance he milked out of them. People argue about films like Lolita, A Clockwork Orange and Paths of Glory, but these are now seen as classics.
Steven Spielberg is a great success at the box office, and he is one of the world’s most popular filmmakers today. As the creator of classics like Schindler’s List, Jurassic Park, ET, Indiana Jones series, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, no one can win his hold over the audience. His critics accuse him of being emotional and over the top, but the fact remains that his movies attract the audience, and set the cash registers ringing. Woody Allen is a director who directs movies full of crime and hate. This comic genius has given us Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters and Midnight in Paris, which have also become classical. His movies constantly include characters who arouse the audience’s sympathy and laughter at the same time, as they set out on a journey of self-discovery. Hollywood star power has never fazed Allen. Thankfully, awards and honors do not interest him, which results in creativity that is original.
68. Stanley Kubrick’s works include the following except ______. A. Midnight in Paris Odyssey
C. A Clockwork Orange
D. Paths of Glory
69. What do the directors mentioned in the passage have in common?
A. They are interested in awards for their works. B. They are members of the New Hollywood gang.
C. They have created a lot of movies taken as classics. D. They focus their themes on negative side of the society. 70. The movie Indiana Jones series is directed by ______. A. Francis Coppola Allen
C. Stanley Kubrick
D. Steven Spielberg
71. It is implied in the underlined sentence Steven Spielberg ______.
A. was successful in amusing the audience B. succeeded in making a great box office
B.
Woody
B.
2001:
A
Space
C. became much better at creating classics D. had set a cash register working for himself
E
Many people think of the brain as a mystery. They don't know much about intelligence and how it works. When they do think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born smart, average, or dumb — and stays that way in the whole life. But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle — it changes and gets stronger when you use it. And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.
Everyone knows that when you lift weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger. A person who can't lift 20 pounds when he/she starts exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time. That's because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise. And when you stop exercising, the muscles shrink and you get weaker. That's why people say “Use it or lose it!”
But most people don't know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise. Inside the cortex (皮层) of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells, called neurons. The nerve cells have branches connecting them to other cells in a complicated network. Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems. When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger. The more you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow. Then, things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do — like speaking a foreign language or doing algebra (代数) — seem to become easy after learning them for a period of time. The result is a stronger, smarter brain.
Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals' brains. They found out that animals that lived in a challenging environment were more smart — they were better at solving problems and learning new things. 72. According to the first paragraph,________. A.the function of our brain is like that of the muscle B.until now it's impossible to explain the brain's mystery C.many people believe one's intelligence is naturally determined D.one's brain grows stronger as the age increases 73.Training muscles is compared to ________. A.using the brain C.lifting weights
B.connecting things in your brain D.doing research about the brain
74.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The complex structure of the brain. B.How changes in the muscles affect the brain. C.The importance of the brain.
D.How the brain becomes stronger by learning new things.
75. The paragraph that follows the passage will most probably talk about _______.
A. the differences between animals’ brains and humans’ brains B. the relation between human brains and muscles C. scientists’ findings about animals’ brains
D. how to make your brain smarter through self-development 第四部分:书面表达(共两节,共35分)
