Ⅲ 阅读（共两节。满分40分） 第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Do you have any idea what you would like to be and do after graduation? A lot of people don't begin thinking about career until they reach junior or senior year, which, in my opinion, is too late. When people are trying to decide what they want to do, it helps to know something they love. Ever since I was little, I’ve always been doing someone’s hair, make-up or nails, starting with Barbie dolls and progressing to humans. Over the years my family has really inspired me to do this and now I fix friends’ and family members’ hair for weddings, dances and other big events. I have been thinking about what I would like to do for a career since middle school. I did some research and discovered that I might really enjoy being a cosmetologist so, I went to my hair stylist and asked her lots of questions about what it takes to reach her level and what she would recommend I do. I considered her advice and then did more research. I used Aveda’s website to get information on the Aveda Institute and what type of credits(贷款) I would need from high school to apply. I found their institute has three parts: theatrical knowledge, practical experience, and professional business-building skills. For the past few years, I have been looking at Aveda in more and more detail. This school not only offers cosmetology, but also massage therapy(疗法). I grew up in Minnesota(美国北部的一个州), so I plan to apply to the institute in Minneapolis that several people have highly recommended. It helps students become “future industry leaders in hair care, skin care, makeup and total body wellness”. It is affordable and everyone there is friendly and understanding. Having done the groundwork and thinking about what I’d like to do after high school, I know that I will definitely pursue my dream of becoming a cosmetologist. 1. After reading the text, we can infer the author is interested in ________. A. traveling abroad B. service business C. social activities D. acting on the stage 2. Why does the author think it’s too late for people to start thinking about careers in junior or senior year? A. Because he/she began to think about them when very young. B. Because many people are too old to learn. C. Because a lot of people can’t grasp the opportunity. D. Because many people have little they love. 3. We know from the text that a cosmetologist is ________. A. a chemist working at college B. a person who works in the institute C. a doctor in a hospital D. a person doing all types of body care for people 4. The author plans to apply to the institute in Minnepolis NOT because ________. A. the people there are good to others B. some people advise him/her to do so C. the institute is free of charge D. the institute is helpful to his/her future 5. The author of the text may be a ________. A. married person B. middle school student C. college student D. a teacher in an institute

When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office. “What are you doing home already?” I asked casually. “Andrew, I was laid off today.” he answered quietly. I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren’t. Why are you really home?” Then I noticed his seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. Providing for our family has been his joy, and I guess I had taken his work for granted. My father’s unemployment created many changes in our lives. For starters, he was home all the time, which meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. I began to notice how down he seemed, and how losing his job had affected his self-esteem, though he tried to be optimistic. For the first time, I saw my dad as vulnerable. He asked my brother and me to spend less. I gave up my allowance, which even though it wasn’t much, felt like the right thing to do. I also found a part-time job. After several difficult months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction. He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it, and I admired how much time and energy he expended. One evening I asked if he needed help. “Only if it doesn't interfere with school,” he said. I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really impacted me. Although this was one of the worst experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plan B, ask for help, and take risks. What I have learned from my dad’s understanding of business and his work ethic are two of the most important lessons I will ever learn, and will be my foundations for success. 1. The author’s father stayed at home because ________. A. he had to help with the author’s lesson B. he had been unemployed by his company C. heavy housework was waiting for him to do D. he wanted the author know the truth? 2. What made the author know the truth? A. The box from his dad’s office B. His father’s words C. His father’s expression D. Being informed by his family 3. The author’s attitude toward his father’s former job was ________. A. unconcerned B. sympathy C. doubt D. tolerance 4. By saying “Only if it doesn't interfere with school”, the author’s father seemed ________. A. to refuse the author’s advice on the new business B. to show his discontent with the author’s schoolwork C. to have said yes to the author’s offer of help D. to be looking forward to the author’s good behavior at school 5. It can be inferred from the text that ________. A. the author’s father was more optimistic to stay at home B. the author couldn’t put up with his dad’s own business C. the author’ s father offered little allowance to the author D. the author benefited from his father on how to deal with adversity

Scientist in Canada say big ocean fish have almost disappeared from the world since the start of industrial fishing in the nineteen-fifties. The scientists found that population of large fish like tuna, swordfish and cod have dropped by ninety percent in the past fifty years. The study took ten years. The researchers gathered records from fishing businesses and governments around the world. The magazine Nature published the findings. The scientists say the common method called longline fishing is especially damaging to populations of large fish. This method involves many fishing lines connected to one boat. These wires can be close to one-hundred kilometers long. They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks to catch fish. Longline fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry. Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every one-hundred hooks. The study says longline fishing boats now might catch one fish per hundred hooks. The scientists say industrial fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past. The study suggests the whole populations can disappear almost completely from new fishing areas within ten to fifteen years. Ransom Myers of Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia led the study with Boris Worm of Dalhousie and the University of Kiel in Germany. Mister Worm says the destruction could lead to a complete re-organization of ocean life systems. Mister Meyers says the decreased numbers of large fish is not the only worry. He says even populations that are able to reproduce do not get the chance to live long enough to grow as big as their ancestors. He says not only are the fewer big fish, they are smaller than those of the past. American government scientists say even with the best efforts to protect fish populations, decreases are to be expected. 1. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A story book. B. A business magazine C. An environment report D. An economic survey 2. Big fish have gradually been disappearing especially because ________. A. longline fishing method is used B. sea water is getting polluted C. mankind destroys the environment D. governments don’t make the best efforts 3. Which of the following shows the fact that the populations of large fish have dropped? A. Today’s “large” fish are smaller than those of the past. B. Longline boats now might catch fewer fish every one-hundred hooks. C. Fish even able to reproduce don’t have the chance to live longer. D. Industrial fishing is an effective way to catch fish. 4. What can be the best title? A. Discoveries Canadian Scientists Have Made B. Japanese Fishing Industry C. Losses of Big Fish D. Modern Fishing Methods 5. When did the researchers begin to survey the decreasing of large fish? A. In the 1960s B. In the 1970s C. In the 1980s D. In the 1990s

The city was famous for its financial, landmarks, architectures and sports etc. In contrast to New York City, my native city in China is small and undeveloped. I can tell it just by taking a look at the education in New York City. Education in New York City is different from my hometown. Firstly, many famous universities and colleges such NYU, Columbia University, SUNY and CUNY etc are located here. While my hometown owns zero university. Secondly, New York City keeps providing free education, lunch and metrocard for students until they finish high school. Thirdly, the teaching methods are free and creative. In New York City, the teacher won't teach you all the details about the solution, they're just give you some examples and you yourself finish the rest. Now I really enjoy living in America. 【写作内容】 1．以约30个词概括短文要点； 2．就“居住在大城市” 这个主题发表你的看法，至少包括如下内容，该部分词数大约120： （1）居住在大城市的好处； （2）居住在大城市的弊端； （3）你是否选择住在大城市，请列出理由。 【写作要求】 你可以使用实例或其他论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不可以直接引用阅读材料中的句子．
