第三部分阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet website called a “blog”. The word “blog” is a short way of saying “web log”, or “personal website”. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like. There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas to the people who read them. They contain links to other websites. And they provide a place for people to write their ideas and react to the ideas of others. A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3,000 web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year. However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products. At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service “weblogs.com”. He said the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago, and thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closed. One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca’s Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the website in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called The Weblog Handbook. It has been translated into four languages so far. Miss Blood says Rebecca’s Pocket gets about thirty thousand visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything—politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent being stolen from online bank accounts. 1. The text is mainly written to ________. A. introduce an Internet website called “blog” B. tell readers about blogs C. introduce a short way of saying “web log” D. tell readers how to write blogs 2. From the text we can learn that blogs cover almost everything except ________. A. different ideas B. medical advice C. advertisements D. account passwords 3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text? A. Politicians don’t use blogs at all. B. A lot of bloggers no longer write or read blogs. C. Those who like to use blogs are mostly teenage girls. D. Dave Winer closed his “weblogs.com” because of the money shortage. 4. The reason why Rebecca’s Pocket is still going strong is that ________. A. it was created by a woman B. it is about the history of blogs C. it provides useful information and advice D. it has editions in at least four different languages

Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people. My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.” At fourteen, I was hit by a car and doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school—walking on my own! When the Great Depression(大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again. Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time. Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world—Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $1 billion a year. You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you. 1. What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself? A. His terrible experience in the hotel. B. His previous business success of various levels. C. His mom’s support. D. His wife’s suggestion. 2. Which of the following best describes Kemmons’ mother? A. Modest, helpful and hard-working. B. Loving, supportive and beautiful. C. Careful, helpful and strong-willed. D. Strict, sensitive and supportive. 3. Which of the following led to Kemmons’ success according to the passage? A. Self-confidence, hard work, higher education and a poor family. B. Mom’s encouragement, clear goals, self-confidence and hard work. C. Clear goals, mom’s encouragement, a poor family and higher education. D. Mom’s encouragement, a poor family, higher education and opportunities.

第II卷（非选择题共35分） 第四部分任务型阅读 (共10小题，每小题1分, 满分10分) 根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空1个单词。 Literature (文学) is a term used to describe written as well as spoken material. Generally speaking, it is often used to describe anything from creative imagination, including works of poetry, drama and fiction. Then why read literature, since it is often imaginary and seems unconnected with real life? A lot of us read literature for pleasure and relaxation. It’s always pleasant to read some interesting books, such as comedies and novels, in our spare time. In a modern life full of pressure, it is our common desire to read some imaginary works and seek relaxation from the stress in life. Reading literature is more than fun; it also enables us to get knowledge. As a general rule, literature stands for a language or a people, and it often gives us an insight (洞察力) into the traditions, customs, beliefs, attitudes and values of the age in which it was written. Sometimes literature can even offer us new, creative ways to have a better understanding of the world. It helps us make sense of the world around us. It introduces us to new worlds of experiences. We enjoy the comedy and the tragedy of poems, stories and plays; and we may even grow through our literary journey with books. Finally, we may discover meaning in literature by looking at what the author says and how he/she says it. In a sense, we explore the human condition and analyze (分析) how and why people think the way they think and feel the way they feel. Literature enables us to think analytically and promotes (促进) open minds. We see the world through the eyes of different cultures and in turn learn the ways to deal with things that happen around. So we can definitely say literature is of great importance to us. Why not get going with one poem, drama or fiction at once?
