　　第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

　　A

　　People in the nation of Haiti are struggling to recover after a powerful earthquake caused massive destruction there.

　　Tens of thousands of people in the Caribbean nation were

　　killed，and many more were injured.The Presidential Palace，which is like the White House in the US，was among the many government buildings that collapsed.Hospitals were destroyed，as were countless homes.The disaster added more suffering to

　　people already struggling to cope with everyday life.Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the world.

　　International aid groups are rushing to provide food，water，and medical aid to Haiti.People worldwide are donating money to help.Many nations，including the US，are sending aid as well as money.The US is sending troops to help with rescue and relief efforts，and to police the streets.“This is a time when we are reminded of the common humanity that we all share，” said US President Barack Obama.

　　The earthquake’s epicenter—the point on the Earth’s surface directly above where it happened—was about 10 miles from Haiti’s capital，Port­au­Prince.Experts say it was the worst earthquake in the region in more than 200 years.The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.0 on the Richter scale，which is very high.More than 30 aftershocks，or smaller earthquakes，came after the big quake.

　　Some Americans have a special concern about the situation in Haiti—family and friends.Hundreds of thousands of people in the US are from Haiti.They are anxiously seeking news of loved ones.And like other Americans，they are working to help Haiti recover from this disaster.

　　The earthquake in Haiti occurred on a long fault，or crack in the Earth’s surface，which goes across the island.This underground crack separates two giant tectonic (地壳构造上的) plates，or slabs ( 石板) of rock that make up the Earth’s outer layer.Along the fault，the plates slowly rub past one another in opposite directions.But this movement isn’t smooth.The plates’edges get stuck for long periods of time.Eventually，they may suddenly jerk free.That sudden movement is what results in an earthquake.

　　56．From the passage，we can know that the massive earthquake in Haiti did NOT________.

　　A．make houses collapse

　　B．cut the country off from outside aid

　　C．destroy hospitals

　　D．kill tens of thousands of people

　　57．Before the earthquake，Haitians were already struggling because________.

　　A．their country was in a war against the US

　　B．a tornado recently hit the country

　　C．most of them are very poor

　　D．a drought has ruined crops

　　58．The underlined word “magnitude” refers to________.

　　A．an earthquake’s size or strength

　　B．how long an earthquake lasted

　　C．where an earthquake happened

　　D．when an earthquake happened

　　59．Which statement of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．The earthquake in Haiti is the worst in Caribbean in centuries.

　　B．The home of the President of Haiti is called the White House.

　　C．The United States is trying to help Haiti only by sending troops.

　　D．Hundreds of thousands of Haitians are leaving for the US after the earthquake.

　　60．The last paragraph of the passage is mainly about________.

　　A．the movement of the Earth

　　B．the structure of the Earth

　　C．how to make the earthquake forecast

　　D．what causes an earthquake

　　B

　　We can almost always find an opportunity for kindness.I filled my afternoon with small acts of kindness today and

　　they didn’t take much time or effort，but I hope they made

　　a small difference to the people who received them.

　　This afternoon I went out shopping.My first stop was the supermarket.I wanted to buy some bread with chocolate for my little daughter Rita.After I got the bread，I went on to my second stop—a local charity (慈善) bookshop.I wanted

　　to see if I could buy some books on unicorns for Rita.

　　While I was there，I started a conversation with the shop assistant，during which she commented on the smell of my bread.I jokingly replied she could either avoid it (if she was on a diet) or go to the supermarket and get some.She replied she would prefer the second.“Even better.I will give you mine，” I said.I gave my bread to her and walked straight

　　out.She seemed a little surprised.

　　When I came out，it was raining hard.Everyone looked

　　quite soaked.They must have been running in the rain.I noticed a homeless lady selling the Big Issue (a magazine

　　that supports homeless people) and she looked especially cold，so I gave her all my money to buy her magazines.

　　I then went back to my car.I had to pay for two hours of parking instead of one because I didn’t have the correct change，so I still had an hour left on my parking.I waited until I saw a young couple drive in.I gave them one magazine and they were a little surprised and quite pleased.

　　You see，doing acts of kindness is that easy.

　　61．What can we know from Paragraph 1?

　　A．Being kind to others nowadays is not easy.

　　B．The writer did some acts of kindness today.

　　C．The writer does some acts of kindness every day.

　　D．Kindness always makes a difference to the receiver’s life.

　　62．What do we know about the bookshop mentioned in Paragraph 2?

　　A．It is a children’s bookstore.

　　B．It mainly sells books about unicorns.

　　C．It is located in a supermarket.

　　D．It aims to make money to help others.

　　63．It is implied in the passage that the shop assistant________.

　　A．was trying her best to lose weight

　　B．might like the smell of the bread very much

　　C．would give the bread to someone homeless

　　D．expected the writer would give her the bread

　　Long ago，poems were recited out loud instead of being written down.When the Greeks first started the Olympics，they held poetry contests as well as athletic competitions.

　　Now，poetry competitions have been revived (恢复)．This year 120,000 high school students competed in the first Poetry Out Loud National Recitation Contest，performing poems from memory for $100,000 in prizes.

　　The first competitions were held in classrooms.The winners went on to school­wide contests，and then they competed in city and state competitions.Finally，the 50 state champions，along with the District of Columbia champion came to Washington，D.C.last week for the last showdown.After the 51 champions competed against one another,12 went on to the finals.Then the field was narrowed to five.The final five had one last chance to “perform” a poem.The overall champ，Jackson Hille，a high school senior from Ohio，won a $20,000 scholarship.

　　The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation started Poetry Out Loud because they realized that hearing a poem performed is a different experience from reading it on a page.

　　It’s not just a matter of saying the words in the right order.It’s the tone of voice，the pauses，the gestures，and the attitude of the person performing that bring the words to life.“Each time we hear somebody recite a poem，we find something fresh and interesting about it，” says National Public Radio Broadcaster Scott Simon，master of ceremonies for the finals.Hearing it in a new voice offers something new to the listener.

　　Not only do the people hearing poems have a new experience，memorizing and presenting poems helps the participants (选手) understand those poems in a new way.Another benefit of a competition such as Poetry Out Loud is that the participants learn public­speaking skills that can help them for life.

　　66．From the first paragraph，we can know________.

　　A．the Greeks were the first to write poems

　　B．the Olympics used to start with poem reciting

　　C．poems were spread orally in the past

　　D．athletes were asked to recite poems before competing

　　67．How many rounds of competitions did the champions take before they went to Washington，D.C.?

　　A．Three.

　　B．Four

　　C．Five.

　　D．Six.

　　68．According to the passage，hearing a poem recited by different people can________.

　　A．bring a new life to listeners

　　B．help listeners find their interest

　　C．make listeners learn the words

　　D．offer something new to listeners

　　69．One benefit the participants get from poem recitation competitions is that they can________.

　　A．become skilled in speaking in public

　　B．write good poems themselves

　　C．change their attitudes towards life

　　D．make friends with many great poets

　　70．What’s the main idea of the passage?

　　A．Reciting poems improves your memory.

　　B．Remembering a lot of poems is fun.

　　C．Poets have a great time.

　　D．Poetry competitions freshen us up.

　　D

　　There are many times I feel close to going crazy in Beijing.The over­hooting horns and the dangerous driving of local drivers are slowly driving us cyclists to extinction，here in the bicycle capital of the world.

　　What keeps me conscious is my weekly session with some of Beijing’s warmest souls.We meet at the English corner in the Chaoyang Library.There，all topics are open for discussion.We usually talk about family and business，two Chinese priorities across all age groups，I’ve discovered.There are always plenty of requests to explain European religion and culture.Some，however，like

　　one

　　of my

　　older

　　students,80­year­old Mr Gou，prefer to sing in English.

　　Lately we’ve talked about the 60th anniversary celebrations and I’m lucky in the diversity of ages that I get a good sample of what China’s thinking.Most look forward to the time off，some have been inconvenienced (by their offices being shut to make way for rehearsals) and some worry about the cost of it.

　　I sometimes feel that even a 60­year­old China is still not very well known or understood.Foreign friends with little time to spare on business and tourist visits to Beijing complain about the similar things：aggressive driving，bad air and a lot of ostentatious displays of wealth such as big cars，paunches and loud shirts.

　　It’s a shame，because those are the conspicuous minority.To know Beijing you have to make an effort to meet and talk to the majority—the likes of retired Doctor Rose，who runs the English corner，or Mr Tang，the retired railway station inspector.These are friendly，knowable folks with all the patience possible to explain and share China with a curious foreigner.I feel very lucky to have them to talk and listen to.

　　They’ll likely never—or rarely—step into a Starbucks.Their means are modest and they don’t have any flashy cars to park on the footpath.No，but they’ll teach you priceless，disappearing Beijing knowledge and crafts.They’ll invite you to

　　eat jiaozi and play shuttlecock.And on October 1，I marked the big 60th birthday with them，the ordinary，kind people of Beijing.

　　71．Who runs the English corner according to the passage?

　　A．Tang.

　　B．Rose.

　　C．Mr Gou.

　　D．The writer.

　　72．Which of the following is TRUE of Beijing?

　　A．The drivers in Beijing drive terribly.

　　B．People at the English corner talk about European religion and culture every day.

　　C．Foreign friends spare no time on business in Beijing.

　　D．Only when you talk to people can you know Beijing better.

　　73．What can we learn about the 60th anniversary celebrations?

　　A．The writer can predict what China’s thinking.

　　B．Most people think the 60th anniversary celebrations worthless.

　　C．Some people may be concerned about side­effects of the 60th anniversary celebrations.

　　D．People will teach you priceless，disappearing Beijing knowledge and crafts.

　　74．The underlined word “ostentatious” in Paragraph 4 means________.

　　A．jealous

　　B．expensive

　　C．cheap

　　D．showy

　　75．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

　　A．Hidden treasure

　　B．Proud people

　　C．Priceless love

　　D．Potential ability

　　One day，your child will need to earn a living.Kids can get an edge on the work world by starting early and in doing so they will gain valuable experience working with different people.Also they can learn about managing money—have some money to spend once they get older，or save for college.

　　But first ask yourself，is your child ready to work？Do they have the time，and won’t it interfere with their school work？If they are ready，then here are some jobs for kids to make money.

　　BABY SITTER

　　If your child likes younger kids，then a baby sitter is a popular choice.Parents often need a good and reliable baby sitter________.This position can be even expanded into a baby sitting service，by joining together a group of people who can offer babysitting services to all the parents in the neighborhood.

　　PARENTS HELPER

　　A parents helper is similar to a baby sitter.However，if your child is too young to baby­sit on their own，a job helping parents is a good opportunity.They can help watch someone’s kids and assist with the feeding，playing，or doing chores around the house.Later，once your child is older，they would likely have gained some references for regular babysitting work.

　　HOUSE CLEANING

　　Instead of a parents helper，your child could simply do house cleaning.There are many chores that would be suitable such as vacuuming，dusting.

　　CAR WASHING

　　Car washing is a needed service in many communities.Have_your_child_get together_with_a few_friends to_offer_to_wash_local_cars. As an addition to this business，they can sell items such as coffee，snack bags and donuts while people wait for their car to be washed.See what other professional car washes charge in your area，and price the services competitively.

　　ANIMAL CARETAKER

　　If your child enjoys animals，then try an animal caretaker business.This might involve walking dogs，dog washing，or general grooming.

　　HOUSE AND PET SITTING

　　If a neighbor is taking a trip or vacation，then taking care of their house and/or pets may be an opportunity.This may include watering plants，and any other chores they may need.

　　76．What’s the main idea of the passage？(within 10 words)

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　77．Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?

　　Kids are on the point of stepping into society through working early and working with different people can make kids learn some important life skills.

　　Nowadays in the United States，more and more people are beginning to build underground houses to save open land.When houses are underground，there is more land for parks，playgrounds and gardens.Underground houses also save energy.They use only a little energy to stay warm or cool.

　　As we know，the idea of underground houses is very old.People in the past lived in underground houses and underground cities in China.Today you can find large underground shopping centers in China，Japan，South Korea and Canada as well.Some countries also build underground factories and storage facilities.

　　Joyce Rinker has an underground house in Michigan.One day in February，the outside temperature was a cold －22 ℃，but the temperature inside his house was a warm 16 ℃.The next summer，in July，the outside temperature was a hot 42 ℃，but the temperature inside was a comfortable 22 ℃.

　　21．C　考查冠词。a series of一系列的；the history of art特指“艺术的历史”，故第二空填the。

　　22．B　考查交际用语。句意为：“恐怕我把房间弄脏了。”“不要紧，房间反正要打扫了。”当别人做错了事向你道歉时，你该说It doesn’t matter或Never mind.意为“没关系；不要紧”。Don’t mention it.不用谢。I’ve got no idea.我不知道。It’s up to you.由你决定。

　　23．A　考查动词辨析。accuse sb.of sth.指控/谴责某人，符合题意。charge与with搭配；scold和blame与for搭配。

　　24．B　考查连词辨析。句意为：只要(as long as)你坚持你的学习计划，你一定会有很大进步的。in case以防；even though即使；so that以便
