三、阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
On a Sunday morning，I was driving down a road and saw something I couldn't believe.A little girl，less than two，was pushing her stroller(婴儿车)across the road.It was Sunday morning and traffic was not heavy.
I stopped my car at once and ran toward her.This little girl knew enough to run from a stranger.I tried to catch her in order that I could get her out of the road.
Suddenly her father came running down a hill across the road from where I had parked my car.He ran right to her and caught her up，saying“bad girl”to her.I picked up the stroller and gave it to him.The father grabbed(抓住)the stroller and walked toward where he came from without a word.
I went back and sat in my car for a few minutes with my son.My hands were shaking and tears were about to run out of my eyes.“Do you feel cold，Mom？”asked my son.I just shook my head.
After this happened，I thought about how thankful I am.Even though the father didn't say thank you，I feel that I did something good.Doing something for someone else is pleasing，even when it's only a matter of being in the fight place at the right time.
I didn't really“save”her，but I feel like it was important that I happened to be there.It is sad that I was the only one who stopped.It really made me a little disappointed that no one else stopped to help.

Once upon a time，there was a tortoise on a ship，and the ship was damaged and dropped into the water.Some time later the tortoise made it to a desert land surrounded(包围)by water on all sides except for one.The landward(向陆地的)side led up to a big mountain.To avoid starving to death，the tortoise decided to climb to the top of the mountain，hoping that he would be able to cross to the other side.
When he got to the snowcovered top he was very cold，and then a heavy snow storm started.He just managed to make out a small pathway leading down the other side of the mountain.But the path was guarded(看守)by a big monster(怪物)that wouldn't stop shouting.
“Uuh uuh uuh！”Such a sight and sound made tortoise extremely scared，and all he wanted to do was hide his head inside his shell.But，looking around him，he saw that many other animals were lying in the snow，with looks of fear on their faces.So the tortoise didn't go into his shell.
He summoned up(鼓起)all his courage to move down the path towards the monster.The closer the tortoise got，the more the monster changed its shape.Then，when he was almost upon it，the tortoise realized that what he had thought was a monster was only a great pile of rocks，which formed a shape just like a monster.As for the“Uuh uuh uuh”，the tortoise realized this was just the sound of the wind blowing through a small cave.
The tortoise carried on，and finally went down into a beautiful valley，filled with woods and plenty of food.The tortoise lived very happily there.

Pets are popular.They're good listeners，they encourage us to exercise，and they're always on our side when we argue with others.They can bring people comfort and pleasure.
But it is important to keep in mind that pets can carry diseases that can make you sick.Washing your hands often—especially after you touch，feed，or clean up a pet—is the best way to keep yourself healthy and prevent the spread of disease.Be sure to clean your fingernails carefully every time you wash.
You also can protect your health by wearing gloves while cleaning animal cages or cat litter boxes.Avoid washing your pet in the bathtub(浴缸)，but if you do，always disinfect(消毒)the tub immediately afterward.
Be sure to bring your pet to the hospital for examinations every two weeks or month and whenever your pet is sick or injured.
You can do a few other things to keep yourself and your pet healthy.Only give your pet food that has been planned ahead for them.It's not a good idea to share your food with your pet.Human food (like chocolate)can make animals sick.Never feed your pet raw(生的)meat because it can carry germs(细菌)that cause serious illness.
And funny as it can be to see your dog or cat drinking from the toilet，don't let pets do this.It's bad for your pet's health！Give them clean，fresh water to drink at all times.
Never give milk to cats.The only milk an animal should drink is from its mother.Cow's milk is not for pets，especially for cats，as it makes them sick.
Finally，some animals aren't pets.Don't take in a wild or abandoned(被抛弃的)animal as a pet because it may have diseases that could make you or your family sick.Instead，turn to an animal rescue group that is trained in helping sick or abandoned animals.

Are you scared about moving up to senior high school？It can be a new experience，but you shouldn't worry.We've put together a guide on how to survive the first week.
You're not alone
Remember everybody_else_in_your_year_is_in_the_same__boat.They may not realize it，but they're just as nervous as you are.Moving to senior high is an opportunity，not a problem.Things are different and all you need to do is be polite
and learn the new rules.
Teachers are ready to help!
If you're unsure what to do or are worried about anything then you had better ask for help.Teachers are probably the best people to turn to as they're experienced in helping new students.Some senior high schools also have a “friends system”．If your school has this，then you will be paired
with an older student.They will look out for you and help
you if you have any problems or questions.
All change
There are lots of differences between junior high school
and senior high school.You'll have a homework diary or a
student planner.You will have your lessons with different
teachers in different rooms.You will have homework for different subjects on different days，so make sure you get organized.Make sure you have a copy of your school timetable
written down so you know which rooms your classes are in
and on which days you will have your different subjects.
Other points
If you've got an older brother or sister at the school then ask them for advice.
Be yourself！It sounds simple，but people will know you
much better if you just act naturally.
Having early nights makes a difference and you'll find it
easier to get up in the morning!

What will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in biotechnology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today's leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.
In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs. The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on, in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.
It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.
52．According to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by ________.
A．diseases and aging
B．accidents and war
C．accidents and aging
D．heart disease and war
答案 A [细节理解题。由文章第一段最后一句得知，今天主要的杀手，如心脏病、癌症、年老将会成为遥远的记忆。]
53．In the author's opinion, today's most important advance in technology lies in
________.
A．medicine
B．the Internet
C．brain cells
D．human organ
答案 A [细节理解题。第二段前两句的意思是说“在讨论技术变化时，人们往往注意到的是网络。然而药学方面的变化可能是当今真正技术方面的大事件”，故选A项。]
54．Humans may live longer in the future because ________.
A．heart disease will be far away from us
B．human brains can decide the final death
C．the basic materials of cells will last forever
D．human organs can be repaired by new medicine
答案 D [推理判断题。由第二段的后半部分可知，在2050～2100期间，每隔10年左右，人们可以通过吃药来修整生病的或衰老的器官，这应是未来长生不老的原因。]
55．How long can humans live in the future according to the passage?
A．Over 100 years.
B．More than 120 years.
C．About 150 years.
D．The passage doesn't tell us.
答案 D [细节理解题。阅读全文后得知，文章没有具体告诉我们人们将来能活多少年。]

写作一
Jim，you see，a sunflower is cocking its head to the sun with a big smile on the left while the other is heading down sorrowfully during a moonnight on the right.
What the picture conveys to us is that we need a good attitude whether we are in a pleasing situation or not.As we all know，the sunflower likes sunshine，so it's inevitable to be happy when facing it.However，the other sunflower feels sad when moonlight comes，which I think is not necessary.The moon and stars appear at night，though they are not the sunflowers' favorite，yet it's certain that the sun will come sooner or later.Some of our classmates are like the right sunflower，who are so pessimistic when they are weak in one exam.But I want to tell them the night is just short and a sunny tomorrow will come soon.We should cheer up，adjust ourselves and be ready to greet another sunny day.
Jim，that's my opinion about the picture，what about yours?
写作二
I'm_a_senior_high_school_student，named_Li_Hua.Our_school_has_recently_
set_up_a_column_called_Sharing_for_Senior_3_students.The column，aimed at relieving pressure and ensuring the health of us students，mainly deals with our worries in life and the challenges we meet in the course of study.It has a unique advantage that we can seek some professional advice on our respective problems from experts in psychology.
In my opinion，our school attaches great importance to our study and our mental health as well.Starting this column provides us with a platform on which to communicate with others and pour out our feelings.On the other hand，we can turn to it for help when at a loss what to do.Under the expert guidance of the column，I believe，we can achieve our goals with more confidence and keep a good state of mind at the same time.
