　　第三部分 阅读理解 （共20小题； 每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中选出最佳选项’s new popular word, “tuhao”, may be taken in

　　next year’s Oxford English dictionary. The word caught the attention of the dictionary’s editing team after BBC’s recent program on influential Chinese words.

　　“If its influence continues, it is very likely to appear on our updated list of words,” said Julie Kleeman, project manager with the editing team. Kleeman told the Beijing Youth Daily that “tuhao” has some similarities with the English word “bling”, which refers to expensive, ostentatious (阔绰的) clothing or jewelry. Both the two words have existed for long but later on took a new meaning.

　　In Chinese, “tu” means rude and “hao” means rich. It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in China’s rural areas. In recent years, people in the ACG (anime, comic and game) circle borrowed the term to describe those who spend money in an unreasonable manner.

　　The word gained acceptance in September with the launch (投放) of Apple’s new gold-colored iPhone, an item loved by China’s nouveau riche (暴发户). The color became known as “tuhao gold”.The word is now often used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it.

　　Kleeman also mentioned another Chinese word “dama” which may also be taken in the dictionary.

　　“Dama”, meaning middle-aged women, was first used in the Western media by the Wall Street Journal in May when thousands of Chinese women were buying up record number of gold. They were the driving force in the global gold market between April and June when the gold prices had dropped. “People can have an intuitive (直觉的)grasp of the meanings if they see pinyin”, Kleeman said adding that people avoided using an English word to keep the original meaning. The new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the dictionaries arrive. The online version is also renewed every three months.

　　(

　　) 56. Why is the word “tuhao” likely to be taken in Oxford English Dictionary?

　　Because it represents noble and rich

　　Because it has the same meaning with an English word.

　　Because its influence becomes bigger and bigger

　　Because it is popular in online game circle.

　　(

　　) 57. What’s the similarity between “tuhhao” and “dama”?

　　Both take new meanings.

　　Both were created in British.

　　Both will be uploaded in the next dictionary version.

　　They have the same meaning.

　　(

　　) 58. What’s the main idea of the passage?

　　A, The popularity of the two words “tubao” and “dama”.

　　B. The possibility to be taken in Oxford

　　English Dictionary for “tuhao” and “dama”.

　　C. The new meanings of the two words “tuhao” and “dama”

　　D. The influence of Chinese in modern world.

　　(

　　) 59.

　　The passage most probably belongs to _____________.

　　A. a social survey

　　B. an advertisement

　　C. a news report

　　D. a publishing notice

　　B

　　Some of my friends are making big decisions in their life: Which universities should they apply to? I also notice that many high school students in China are thinking of studying at universities abroad. Unluckily, from what I’ve seen, the information given by some websites and other media about studying abroad is very limited and sometimes even wrong.

　　There was once a Chinese girl who hoped that she could go to Columbia University in the US because she wanted to major in journalism. However, they have no journalism program at the undergraduate level! What’s more, in both Canada and the US, it’s not suggested that students throw themselves into journalism right after high school. School say that students should take in more knowledge about the world and writing before entering that field.

　　The University of Waterloo, a Canadian university famous for its engineering program, is another example. The emphasis (重视)of engineering in this school may go beyond your expectations. According to our teachers, this university spent millions of dollars building a library just for engineering students. The school’s computer science, mathematics and accounting are also great programs for students.

　　But, to be honest, according to my friends who have visited this university, the campus and the food are not very nice. Maybe this is because the school stresses its academic( 学术)strengths too much, thereby paying little attention to personal comforts.

　　Now you see, choosing a university is really not that easy. We need to do good research and consult as many people as possible before making a decision.

　　(

　　) 60. For high school students it’s very important to __________.

　　choose a proper university

　　study at American universities

　　learn the information about websites

　　supply the information about studying abroad

　　(

　　) 61. Who can major in journalism program in Columbia University?

　　A. Chinese girls.

　　B. Graduates.

　　C. Undergraduates.

　　D. High school students.

　　(

　　) 62. From Paragraphs 3 and 4 we can learn in the University of Waterloo _______.

　　engineering program is as famous as computer science

　　engineering students are the most intelligent

　　the campus is very small and dirty

　　the library for engineering students is very good

　　(

　　) 63. What’s the best title for the passage?

　　Choosing a university is not easy.

　　How to study at universities abroad.

　　A Chinese girl and Columbia University.

　　Academic strengths of the University of Waterloo.

　　C

　　Last Sunday, Aron Ralston, an experienced hiker and mountaineer, set off to walk alone through the Bluejohn desert canyon (峡谷) in Utah. He was planning an eight-hour, 21–kilometer hike. While he was climbing through a narrow part of the canyon, a big stone weighing about 400 kilos fell and trapped his right arm.

　　When he failed to return to the mountain camp where he was staying that night, people simply thought he had decided to camp out somewhere in the canyon. When he still had not returned by Tuesday, the alarm was raised, A search party set out on Wednesday evening, but there we no sign and his family began to fear the worst.

　　In fact, Ralston, 27, was lying trapped in the canyon. By Tuesday, he had run out of water. By Thursday, he realized that he would not survive unless he took unusual action, so he used his pocket knife to cut his arm below the elbow (肘). He then climbed down to the bottom of the canyon. There he met two other hikers, who helped him back to safety. He received some help at a local hospital before being carried to St. Mary’s hospital in Grand Junction, Colorado for surgery.

　　Ralston’s astonishing survival brought equal amounts of praise and criticism. While praising the climber for his bravery and calm, experts also pointed out he had broken the first rule of outdoor pursuits. He had failed to leave words with anyone of where he was going that day.

　　This was in fact Ralston’s second near-death experience. In February, he was buried up to the neck in snow by an avalanche (雪崩) while skiing in the Colorado Rockies. Ralston not only managed to dig himself out but he also rescued his skiing companion, who had been completely buried in the snow. Ralton rescued himself and his friend in less than 15 minutes.

　　The novelist Harriet Beecher Stowe, born 200 years ago, was a poor housewife with six children, who suffered from various illnesses. And yet, driven by a passionate hatred of slavery, she found time to write “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” which became the most influential novel in American history and aroused radical change both at home and abroad.

　　Today, however, the book has a different reputation, owing to the popular image of its character, Uncle Tom-whose name has become a saying for a cowardly black man who betrays his race.

　　But this view is wrong: The original Uncle Tom was physically and morally strong, an inspiration for blacks and other oppressed people worldwide.

　　Indeed, that’s why in the mid-19th century Southerners attacked “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” as a dangerously destructive book, while Northern reformers-especially blacks-often praised it.

　　The book was influential overseas, too.In Russia it inspired Vladimir Lenin, who recalled it as his favorite book in childhood. It was the first American novel to be translated and published in China, and it fueled antislavery causes in Cuba and Brazil.

　　The book’s progressive appeal was the character of Uncle Tom himself: a strong man who is notable because he does not betray his race; one reason he gave up escaping from his plantation is that he doesn’t want to put his fellow slaves in danger. And he is finally killed because he refuses to tell his master where two runaway slaves are hiding.

　　Unfortunately, these themes were lost in many of the stage versions of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”.

　　The play, seen by more people than those who read the book, remained popular up to the`1950s and still appears occasionally. But in the play Stowe’s revolutionary themes were drowned.

　　But it doesn’t have to be that way; indeed, during the civil rights era it was those who most closely resembled Uncle Tom-Stowe’s Tom, not the sheepish one of popular myth-who proved most effective in promoting progress. Both Stowe and Tom deserve our reconsideration and our respect.

　　(

　　) 72.Harriet Beecher Stowe managed to write “Uncle Tom’s Cabin because __________.

　　she wanted to earn money to support her family

　　she hated slavery from the bottom of her heart

　　she tried to set an example to her six children

　　she had the similar life experiences with Tom

　　(

　　) 73. As for the influence of the book, __________.

　　it was the first American novel to be translated into Russian

　　it was the most influential book for Vladimir Lenin in his life

　　it also gave rise to the causes of anti-slavery in the distant Africa

　　its character Tom inspired the blacks and other oppressed people in the world

　　(

　　) 74. What is true of the character Uncle Tom in the book?

　　He is a black man who betrays his race.

　　He manages to escape from the plantation.

　　He doesn’t put his fellow slaves in danger.

　　He kills himself instead of giving away the slaves.

　　(

　　) 75. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

　　The theme on revolution and progress in the book were lost in the play.

　　The book “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”

　　has more readers than the stage versions.

　　The play was very popular and nowadays it is still put on now and then.

　　It is the Uncle Tom in the book that promotes the progress of mankind.

　　Hello,everyone!I’m glad to make a speech here.My topic is: What are the most important qualities that middle school students today should have?

　　In my opinion,the most important qualities can be summarized as follows.First,a strong desire for knowledge is of great importance because it motivates us to seek for knowledge constantly.Second,kindness, honesty,modesty and self-confidence are also important qualities,which are part of our personality and contribute to our future development.Third,diligence,persistence and optimism are also essential for us because those who are more optimistic,diligent and persistent are likely to succeed no matter what they do.What’s more,having a strong sense of responsibility is equally important because we should be responsible for life and our future.

　　That’s all.Thank you.
