第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列四篇短文，从所给的四个选项A, B, C,和D中选出最佳选项。
A
Dear Dad,
Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father‘s Day cards. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.
You‘ll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father‘s Days together. I haven‘t always been with you on Father‘s Day but I‘ve always been with you in my heart.
You know, Dad, there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.
The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear ( 档位) when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the ‘54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who sent me home, after you reported the Chevy stolen, didn‘t have much tolerance for a stub born 16 year old, while you were so tolerant about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.
Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line, the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine.
But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn‘t immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.
I guess what I‘m trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Father‘s Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It‘s about loving someone more than words can say, and it‘s wishing that never had to end.
I love you] Dad.
Love,
Jenny
56. How did Jenny probably feel on the night she was sent home by the police?
A. Frightened B. Guilty C. Nervous D. Disappointed
57. We can learn from the passage that Jenny and her father_________.
A. had a hard time understanding each other.
B. has been getting along very well.
C. are separated due to the generation gap.
D. kept in touch by writing to each other.
58. Why did Jenny feel strange when she saw her father last week?
A. She had never seen him driving so slowly before.
B. She didn‘t expect to meet with him there.
C. She had never realized his being old and weak
D. She seldom saw him driving that huge car
59. Jenny wrote his father this letter to _________
A. remind him of the early incident B. express her gratitude to him
C. say sorry for her being stubborn D. tell him about their conflicts
B
It is one of the most annoying words in the English language and it seems there is no escaping it．The word “huh?” is in worldwide use, a study found．
Researchers discovered that languages spoken in countries from Ghana and Laos to Iceland and Italy all include ‘‘huh?”, or something that sounds very like it. They said that while the study may sound silly，the word is an absolutely necessary part of speech．Without it and similar words，it would be impossible to show that we haven’t heard or understood what had been said and this would lead to constant misunderstandings．
But while other words used in the same context，such as ‘‘sorry‘’ or‘ ‘what”，vary widely across languages，“huh?” remains unchanged．
The Dutch researchers carefully studied ten languages from around the world，including Siwu] which is spoken in Ghana, and an Australian Aboriginal language，as well as Italian，Spanish，Dutch and Mandarin Chinese．
They analyzed tapes of recorded conversations for words that sounded like ‘‘huh?” and were used to request that whatever had just been said be repeated．All contained a version of ‘‘huh?”．The word was also found in another 21 languages．While there were subtle differences in each country, all sounded basically the same．
This is surprising because normally unrelated languages will use very different words to describe the same thing．For instance，the Japanese for “dog’’ is ‘‘inu”，while the French is‘ ‘chien”．It is thought that languages around the world have developed their own version of “huh?’’ because the sound is quick and simple to form，as well as being easily understood．
The researchers，said that it might seem unimportant to carry out scientific research into a word like “huh?‘’ but in fact this little word is an essential tool in human communication．They also have an answer for those who claim that ‘‘huh?’’ isn’t a word．They say that it qualifies because of the small differences in its pronunciation in different languages．It also can be considered a word because it’s something we learn to say，rather than a grunt or cry that we are born knowing how to make．
60．According to researchers，the word “huh?” is very important in speech because of .
A. its important function in communication B．its simple and easy sound and spelling
C. its popularity in every language D．its stable meaning in language development
61. If you hear someone you’re speaking to say “huh?”, what should you do?
A. You should apologize to her for speaking in a low voice．
B. You should invite her to share her different views politely．
C. You should try to say what you’ve just said again in a clearer way．
D. You should ask her to repeat what she says before that.
62. The main method used in the research of “huh?” was_____________．
A. comparing different words with the same meaning in different languages
B. interviewing language experts in universities
C. talking with people from ten different countries
D. analyzing the recorded conversations in different languages
63. According to researchers，‘‘huh?” should be considered a word rather than a sound because __________ .
A. it is pronounced quite differently around the world
B. it is something humans learn to say
C. there is a clear and consistent spelling of the word
D. it is listed in most dictionaries
64. The intention of the passage is .
A. To entertain readers by relating similar idioms in different languages．
B. To instruct readers of the differences of “huh?” in different languages．
C. To inform readers about research on the worldwide used word “huh?”．
D. To argue that “huh?” is the most important word in every language．
C
Counterfeit medicines are a widespread problem in developing countries. Like other counterfeits, they look like real products. But counterfeit drugs may contain too much, too little or none of the active ingredients (原料) of the real thing.
People do not get the medicine they need. And in some cases the counterfeits cause death. Twenty children in Bangladesh died last year after being given acetaminophen (醋氨芬). The medications contained ingredients that looked, smelled and tasted like the real thing. The medicine was produced by a local drug company that used a dangerous substitute to save money.
The problem of counterfeit medicines is especially serious in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The WHO estimates that up to thirty percent of medicines on sale in many of those countries are counterfeits. The problem is less widespread among industrialized countries. The WHO says counterfeits make up less than one percent of the illegal drug market in countries like the United States, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand.
But the agency also says as much as fifty percent of the medicine sold on the Internet is counterfeit.
Much is being done to fight counterfeit drugs. Several companies are developing ways to make counterfeits easier to identify (鉴定). And there are existing methods, like a machine that can quickly identify chemicals in pills to confirm if the pills are real. Other ideas include things like special tracking (跟踪) codes for drug packages. People could send a text message with the code and get a message back, which proves that what they bought is listed in a database. Some drug makers and other companies put three-dimensional images called holograms (全息图) on their products as a security device.
65. The underlined word “counterfeits” means _______.
A. qualified products B. sub-standard medicines
C. real pills D. false products
66. Last year twenty children in Bangladesh died because of _______.
A. unclean water B. acetaminophen
C. unreal drugs D. online medicines
67. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that ______.
A. we had better not buy medicines online
B. more and more people will buy products online
C. medicine companies don’t pay much attention to counterfeit drugs
D. it is very cheap and convenient to buy medicines online
68. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. It shows the danger of counterfeit drugs
B. Special tracking codes for drug packages are used to identify counterfeits.
C. Some measures are being taken to fight counterfeit drugs
D. It reveals the reasons why counterfeit drugs are widespread.
69. Which of the following country may have serious problems of counterfeit medicines?
A. France. B. America
C. New Zealand D. India
D
Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured(施肥)a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars (纪念柱) in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized.
Animals fight; so do savages (野蛮人); hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently －this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done －is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And it not only has won, but, because it has won, has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right.
That is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or disabled. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets －while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life － nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.
70. In the opening sentence the author indicates that ________.
A. conquerors, generals and soldiers should not be mentioned in history books.
B. history books focus more on those who helped civilization forward.
C. those who truly helped civilization forward is rarely mentioned in history books.
D. most history books were written by conquerors, generals and soldiers.
71. In the author’s opinion, the countries that ruled over a large number of other countries are
A. certainly both the greatest and the most civilized
B. neither the most influential nor the most civilized.
C. possibly the most civilized but not the most powerful.
D. likely the greatest in some sense but not the most civilized.
72. The meaning of “it means saying that might is right.”(The last sentence of Paragraph 2) is that ________.
A. in a war only those who are powerful will win.
B. those who are right should fight against those who are wrong.
C. only those who are powerful have the right to go to war.
D. those who fight believe that the winner is right and the loser wrong.
73. In the third paragraph, what the author wants to convey to us is that ________.
A. we have fought fewer wars but suffered heavier casualties.
B. modern time is not so civilized compared with the past.
C. our age is not much better than those of the past.
D. World War I and World War II are different from previous wars.
74. According to the passage, who helped civilization forward?
A. The pioneers in science and technology.
B. Conquerors and generals.
C. Those setting disputes by force.
D. The experts in military matters
75. This passage is most likely taken from an article entitled ________.
A. Who Should Be Remembered
B. Civilization and History
C. War and World Peace
D. Great conquerors in the world

阅读下面短文并回答问题（请注意问题后面的词数要求）。
As you have probably noticed, some students are more successful than others when taking such an examination. Often the more successful students are better prepared. However, sometimes students who do well have better strategic skills that make taking test easier, and therefore provide better results.
Here are some very important and often ignored guidelines to taking a test successfully.
Do not insist on completing each question before going to the next. This is extremely important. If you spend a lot of time on one question that you don’t understand there can be two negative outcomes:
Losing time. Remember one question may only be worth one point, if you are not able to answer questions later because you have lost time you could lose more points!
Becoming nervous. Becoming nervous can make you lose your concentration and leads to worse results.
If possible, go through the entire test answering the questions you are sure you know. This results in your being more relaxed and feeling more confident.
Go through the test a second time working out the answers to more difficult questions. Now you will feel more confident and this will improve your test taking. However, remember not to waste too much time on any one question.
Once you have gone through the test twice, see if any of the questions asked can help you answer those really difficult questions. This is a little used trick. Sometimes questions asked are answered in later questions asking for different things. This should not be tried until you have finished the test and have some time remaining to try the questions you have had problems with again.
If you have a strong feeling about a question when you first answer it, don’t go back and change later. Usually(but not always) a strong first impulse(冲动)means we know the answer and we don’t really have to think about it too much. Going back to think about it usually makes you unsure and often causes an error. This is very common so be very careful!
76. What is the main idea of the passage? ( within 10 words)
77. What is the author‘s attitude towards insisting on completing each question before going to the next? (within 2 words)
78. What is the purpose of answering the questions we are sure we know first? (within 10 words)
79. When should we solve the more difficult questions? (within 10 words)
80. What may happen when we go back to think about a question we first answer? (within 10 words)
