　　第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

　　(A)

　　When was the last time someone did something unexpectedly nice for you? Not someone you knew, but a total stranger? It happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.

　　A few years ago, I was dining out with a person who kept going on and on about himself, completely oblivious to the fact that I was sitting there in misery．It wasn’t his company that disappointed me．I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship．I could have collapsed in tears right there at the table.

　　When we picked up the check, the waitress said, “Your meal was already paid for. ” My friend and I didn’t have a clue how it happened．Then I remembered a man coming in out of the corner of my eye．He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a glass of wine, stayed for maybe ten minutes, and then left．The waitress said, “Yes, the gentleman who was here a while ago paid for you. ”

　　Just last year, I was running a half-marathon．With just 0. 1 miles to go, I was out of gas．Runners call it “hitting the wall”; I thought I couldn’t move another muscle．Out of nowhere, a teenager jogged up next to me and said, “What’s your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let’s go! Come on! It’s just around the corner! You can do it! ” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace．I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn’t even supposed to be in the race that day．He was running in place of someone else.

　　I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need．Do you have any experiences like this?

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

　　A．The Kindness of Strangers

　　B．An Unpleasant Companion

　　C．Two Special Experiences

　　D．Hitting the Wall

　　57．Why did the author say she was in misery?

　　A．Because she couldn’t enjoy her meal.

　　B．Because she fell into conflict with her companion.

　　C．Because her companion talked a lot.

　　D．Because she was then disappointed in love.

　　58．What do you think of the man paying for the meal?

　　A．He showed his kindness for his former girlfriend.

　　B．He is an acquaintance to the two persons.

　　C．He is generous and warm-hearted to others.

　　D．He enjoys making fun of others by doing that.

　　59．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

　　A．The author still believes her experience today.

　　B．The author feels grateful for the help she received.

　　C．The author thinks everyone is an angel. D．The author often gets help expectedly.

　　(B)

　　One of the founding fathers of the Internet has predicted the end of traditional television. Vint Cerf, who helped to build the Internet while working as a researcher in America, said that the television was approaching its “iPod moment”.

　　In the same way that people now download their favorite music onto their iPod, he said that viewers would soon be downloading most favorite programs onto their computers. “85% of all videos we watch are pre-recorded, so you can set your system to download them all the time, ” said Mr Cerf, who is now the vice-president of the Google, the world’s largest search engine. “You’re still going to need live television for certain things-like news, sporting events and emergencies-but increasingly it is going to be almost like the iPod. ”

　　Although television on demand has not yet become a mainstream activity in the UK, the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 have all spent vast sums of money on technology which enables viewers to watch their favorite shows on their computers.

　　But some critics (批评人士), including some Internet service providers, have warned that the Internet will collapse with millions of people downloading programs at the same time. Over the next four years, it is thought that the number of videos watched over the Internet will be four times as big as that. Broadband companies claim that the service will cause “traffic jams”, which will cost millions of pounds to get it to normal.

　　But Mr Cerf dismissed the warnings as “scare thoughts”, saying that critics had predicted 20 years ago that the net would collapse when people all around the world started to use it all together. “In the past 30 years it’s increased a million times. We’re far from reaching the capacity, ” he said, “It’s an understandable worry when they see huge amounts of information being moved around online. ”

　　60. Vint Cerf is all the following EXCEPT______ .

　　A. a researcher in the United States

　　B. the vice-president of the Google

　　C. one of the founders of the Internet

　　D. a manager of a broadband company

　　61. What change would happen to television according to Vint Cerf?

　　A. Television would come to an end.

　　B. Television would be replaced by the computer.

　　C. Viewers would prefer watching TV programs downloaded onto their computers.

　　D. Most people would prefer the Internet to television.

　　62. According to the passage, people can always do all the following EXCEPT____.

　　A. watch their favorite shows over the Internet

　　B. download live TV over the Internet

　　C. download pre-recorded videos over the Internet

　　D. listen to their favorite music on their computers

　　63. This passage mainly tells us_____.

　　A. a Google expert is predicting the end of traditional television

　　B. the Internet will never be used to download people’s favorite shows

　　C. the Internet will become more popular

　　D. something about Vint Cerf

　　(C)

　　［2012淮南模拟］

　　These days no car show is complete without an electric car, and the 2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, US, which ran from January 10 to 23, was no exception.

　　Among the fully electric vehicles on display were the Ford Focus Electric and the Honda Fit EV. BMW and Volvo also had prominent displays at the show, proving that they can produce practical, yet spacious family-oriented electric cars.

　　Industry insiders at the show claimed that more efficient batteries, improved performance and greater consumer acceptance could make 2011 the “year of electric car”.

　　It’s long been clear that electric cars score heavily for convenience. They are, for instance, much easier to maintain than gasoline-powered cars. When the battery runs out, you simply replace it or recharge it, just like you would do that for a cellphone or a laptop.

　　This is also a much cheaper method than filling your tank with gasoline. Better yet, electric cars don’t emit exhaust fumes. As a result, they don’t produce environmentally damaging greenhouse gases.

　　It appears that improved technology is making electric cars and their maintenance much more user-friendly. So, what are the obstacles which are preventing electric cars from becoming popular and fashionable?

　　Home charging for electric cars could be extremely convenient for users. However, it is also a potential obstacle. For a start, installing charging stations in owners’ homes will be a challenge, particularly for those who have to park several blocks away from their homes.

　　Also, charging the car’s battery still takes quite a long time. It may be some time yet before you can recharge an electric car in the same time as you can refill your gas tank.

　　Another problem is that many electric vehicles have limited ranges that may only allow for journeys of 50 miles (80 km) or less between charges. In cases where a driver wishes to charge the car primarily at home (perhaps overnight), this limits their daily driving to the range of their vehicle.

　　This may be one reason why hybrid cars are now becoming more popular. A hybrid car has more than one energy source, usually a traditional gasoline fuel tank and an electric battery. It’s like a more practical version of an electric car: It’s greener than a conventional vehicle, with fewer CO2 emissions, yet it also doubles as a conventional vehicle.

　　“I would say that hybrid is a transition to fully electronic, ” Road and Track magazine editor Richard Horman told Detroit News during the show. “The trend is for lighter, smarter, more economical cars. Of course, electronic vehicles are meant to be that way. ”

　　This sounds promising, particularly in light of the fact that the show featured more electric cars from big manufacturers than ever before.

　　However, it seems that the technology associated with electric cars is not yet able to fully meet people’s expectations. Don’t expect gasoline-powered cars to disappear from roads just yet.

　　64. What made electric cars more convenient?

　　A. Easier maintenance.

　　B. High scores on the show.

　　C. Practicality and large space.

　　D. Much lower prices.

　　65. Which of the following could NOT act as a potential obstacle of electric cars?

　　A. It is rough work to install charging stations at home.

　　B. It is time-consuming to charge the batteries.

　　C. The ranges between charges are limited.

　　D. There’s no need to fill the tank with petrol.

　　66. In Paragraph 10, the underlined word “hybrid” is probably the closest in meaning to_____ .

　　A. gasoline

　　B. electric

　　C. combined

　　D. separated

　　67. The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is to_____.

　　A. introduce the 2011 Auto Show in US

　　B. get readers informed of electric cars

　　C. comment on different types of cars

　　D. advertise for electric cars

　　(D)

　　The micro blog has become another classroom for Zhai Langwei, and the teachers are all big names in academia（学术界）. Zhai discussed with Lu Gusun the possible English translation of “literary young women” in Chinese. Lu is the chief editor of The English-Chinese Dictionary, a popular dictionary printed by the Shanghai Translation Publishing House.

　　Zhai is interested in zoology as well. He filled in a quiz from a zoologist of the Science Squirrels Club. He got full marks and the expert’s attention. “The feedback from great scholars has encouraged me to follow my interests, ” said the 21-year-old student majoring in English at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. Zhai is one of hundreds of millions of micro blog users in China. According to China Internet Network Information Center, by the end of June 2010, 72. 3 percent of micro blog users were college students.

　　The information on micro blogs is short and sweet, and it can be spread by being forwarded by one user after another. This may be partly the reason why, with the help of micro blogs, students are able to interact with celebrities.

　　Lu Huiquan, 21, is a student majoring in English at Renmin University of China. He has some celebrity fans on his Sina Weibo. “With my micro blog being forwarded, I have a bigger chance to let famous people see my opinions, ” Lu explained. “And it doesn’t take much time and effort for them to read and reply. ” More and more students like Lu have started reaching out to great minds for interaction on micro blogs.

　　Students from Guangdong University of Business Studies started an online poll in April on how micro blogs influence college students. Micro blogs function as a helpful tool for students to broaden their horizons and learn new things, said 36. 86 percent of respondents.

　　68. According to the passage, we know Zhai Langwei ______.

　　A. majors in zoology in university

　　B. has helped Lu Gusun do some translation

　　C. has enlarged his knowledge by using micro blogs

　　D. has joined the Science Squirrels Club

　　69. Which of the following is WRONG about the micro blog in China?

　　A. It is full of short and sweet information.

　　B. It helps students communicate with some famous people.

　　C. Its users mainly consist of college students.

　　D. It helps people known on the Internet.

　　70. The underlined word “forwarded” in Paragraph 3 means “ ______”.

　　A. received

　　B. sent

　　C. read

　　D. known

　　71. The main idea of the passage is that micro blogs ______.

　　A. have both advantages and disadvantages

　　B. have ill effects on students

　　C. will be more and more popular

　　D. are of great help to many college students

　　(E)

　　The home service industry in Beijing is expected to become more attractive both as a job and as an industry.

　　Sources at the Beijing People’s Political Consultative Conference said resistance to home service work is melting away from minds of the city’s laidoff workers. The Conference suggested the establishment of municipal (市政的) centers which supervise property management, household mending and installation, and house keeping services. Modern city life is creating a need for home services. This will create job opportunities for laidoff workers, said vice director of the Social Judicial Committee of the Conference.

　　Beijing residents have long desired a home service industry. The demand is expected to drive new economic growth. There are few high quality home help services in Beijing and customers are always complaining.

　　In the past, few laidoff workers worked as home helpers, jobs largely taken by young women from the countryside. At the same time, some city residents have not felt safe trusting rural girls with modern household machines or with their small children. Many people would pay more for reliable house keepers who are more familiar with city life, but they have had no way of getting one, even though the city is home to thousands of laidoff workers.

　　By the end of June this year, there were 30, 600 jobless workers in the city. Most of them are women in their 40’s, who are not blessed with particular skills and who have had their work ethics shaped by the planned economy. Many of them were at a loss when they first realized they had lost their jobs and a way of life they had got used to for decades.

　　They never imagined being laidoff by state; they never considered other kinds of employment. For them, the private sector (领域) meant taking risks; housekeeping implied lower social status. Gao yunfang, 44, is a pioneer who is breaking the ice. She sells the Beijing Morning Post in the morning, and works at two households in the afternoon. She earns 1, 000 yuan per month.

　　So she no longer worries about her daughter’s tuition at a university in Shanghai.

　　72. What is talked about in the passage？

　　A. Home service. B. Modern city life.

　　C. Laidoff workers.

　　D. Social status.

　　73. Why didn’t the laidoff workers like to do home services in the past？

　　A. Low salary. B. Lower social status.

　　C. Dirty working condition.

　　D. Too much extra work.

　　74. Why were many laidoff workers at a loss？

　　A. Because they didn’t get used to the new way of life.

　　B. Because they are too old to find a new job.

　　C. Because they dislike being laidoff. D. Because they think they lost their social status.

　　75. In which way is home service industry good for our society?

　　A. It meets the needs of modern life.

　　B. It provides work opportunities for the laidoff workers.

　　C. It is a new industry.

　　D. A and B.

　　［2012蚌埠模拟］

　　阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

　　注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

　　Finding a way to feed a world population that does not make climate change worse, nor otherwise does lasting damage to the environment, is arguably the single greatest collective (集体的) challenge the world faces.

　　Working out how to feed a world population that is projected to top 7 billion this month is a huge task. A sixth of the current global population already goes hungry—another billion is malnourished (营养不良的). And the global population may grow to 9 billion within the next 40 years.

　　A report, recently published by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the International Fund for Agricultural Development and the World Food Program, entitled “The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2011”, found that 32 countries are already in need of external aid due to crop failures, conflicts or insecurity, natural disasters and high domestic food prices.

　　The UN reports that about 25, 000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes, the majority children.

　　It is high time to make it clearer what can be done to lessen the effect of rising food prices on the vulnerable (易受影响的) and World Food Day is designed to increase awareness, understanding and spread information about global hunger.

　　“Food prices—from crisis to stability” was chosen as the theme for this year’s World Food Day, which is held every year on Oct 16.

　　Upswings in food prices represent a major threat to food security in developing countries. According to the World Bank, rising food costs in 2010～2011 pushed nearly 70 million people into extreme poverty (贫穷).

　　And the United Nations is predicting rising food prices over the next decade. Volatile food prices make more people vulnerable to food shortages and poverty, especially those in small, import-dependent countries.

　　Meaningful long-term alleviation (减轻) of hunger is rooted in the alleviation of poverty, as poverty leads to hunger. World hunger is a terrible symptom of world poverty.

　　Title：（76） Hunger.

　　（77）_______ of world hunger ●A(n)（78）______ world population.

　　●Rising food prices.

　　●（79）____ of food due to crop failures, conflicts or insecurity, natural disasters.

　　●Poverty.

　　（80）_______ to solving world hunger ●Make people more（81）____ of and better understand the problem.

　　●Offer people（82）___ to information about global hunger.

　　●（83）___ food prices and enrich people.

　　●Strengthen international（84）____ and cooperation.

　　Requirements for the ways to feed a world population ●Don’t worsen climate change.

　　●Don’t （85）____ the environment.

　　(Text 10)

　　In some parts of the United States, farming is easy. But farming has always been difficult in the northeastern corner of the country, which is called New England.

　　⑱New England has many trees and thin, rocky soil. Anyone who has wanted to start a new farm there has had to work hard. The first job has been cutting down trees. The next job has been digging the stumps out of the soil. Then the farmer has had the difficult job of removing stones from his land.

　　⑲This work of removing stones never really ends, because every winter more stones appear. They come up through the thin soil from the rocks below. Farmers have to keep removing stones from the fields. Even today, farms which have been worked on for 200 years keep producing more stones.

　　⑰That is why stone walls are used instead of fences around New England fields. The stone walls are not high; a man can easily climb over them. ⑳But they keep the farmers’ cows from joining their neighbors’ cows.

　　16~20.BCAAC21.【解析】选Ａ。考查冠词。句意：我们正在不遗余力地创造一个更加和平发达的世界，一个人人都可以享受生活和自由的地方。不定冠词表示泛指。

　　【知识拓展】冠词的位置

　　在通常情况下，冠词放在名词前，若名词前带有形容词等修饰语，它则放在相应的修饰语前。例如：

　　It’s a good chance for you to go. 这是你去的好机会。

　　但以下几种情况比较特殊，同学们需引起注意：

　　1. 若修饰名词的形容词受 too, so, as, how, however 等副词修饰，则通常将不定冠词置于形容词与名词之间。例如：

　　She is as good a cook as her mother.

　　她跟她妈妈一样会做饭。

　　It is too difficult a book for beginners.

　　那本书供初学者看太难了。

　　2. 若单数可数名词前有such, what, many 等词修饰，不定冠词应置于它们之后。例如：

　　What a good heart you have!

　　你的心肠真好!

　　I have been there many a time.

　　我去过那儿很多次。

　　I’ve never heard of such a thing.

　　我从来没听过这样的事。

　　注：“many a＋可数名词单数”表示“很多”，在现代英语的口语或非正式文体中，通常用“many＋复数名词”代之。

　　3. 不定冠词与副词 quite, rather 连用时，不定冠词通常置于其后，但若其后的名词前有形容词修饰，则不定冠词放在 quite, rather 之前或之后均可以。例如：

　　She remained standing for quite a while.

　　她站了好一会儿。

　　We had rather a cold welcome.

　　=We had a rather cold welcome.
