第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A SINGAPOREAN singer JJ Lam，29，admitted that this March couldn’t be better：He outshined Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou and bagged four awards at the China Original Music Pop Chart Award(中国原创音乐流行榜) ceremony，including the most coveted(最渴望得到的)best male singer title． Yet the trophies(奖杯)were only part of an exciting month．Knowing that he has an O1ympic champion fan，Lam was so happy that he prepared his own gifts for Zhou Yang，the speed skating gold medalist：an autographed(签名的)CD and a Mickey Mouse doll．He even invited Zhou to his birthday party on March 26 after Zhou told him that it was a great pity she had had to miss Lam's Beijing concert last year． Lam showed his love and talent for music as early as middle school，but it doesn't mean he easily got to where he is now．Like many young men his age，Lam was once hooked(沉迷)on video games．“One in particular，World of Warcraft，obsessed(迷住)me,” he said．“I made up my own stories and characters and once I even composed(编曲)a soundtrack for the game.” But luckily Lam soon realized things would have to change．“There was no future in playing games and I had to think about the years ahead,” he said． After finishing high school，Lam joined the army. On the small island where he was stationed，he wrote dozens of songs．Still，his ambition of one day being a pop singer seemed an unrealistic dream to others．“Later，when my former officers heard my songs being played on the radio, they couldn’t believe it.” he said． Not that the road to success wasn't a rocky one．When Lam went to Taiwan to develop his career, he felt lonely at first．He started playing computer games again．“I indulged(沉溺) myself in games day and night," he said．“But I came to realize that I mustn’t 1et the games take over my 1ife．I had to go out，see people and meet life’s challenges head on．” 61．JJ Lam outshone Jay Chou by___________． A．winning four awards at a ceremony B．being the gold medalist Zhou Yang’s favorite singer C．winning the award for best new artist D．writing more popular original songs 62．Which of the following statements about JJ Lam is FALSE? A．His parents guided him through success． B．He was once obsessed with video games． C．He wrote a song for the game WOW． D．He understood that playing games would not give him a secure future． 63．The last paragraph tells us that___________ A．lam has a talent for different music styles B．lam became famous overnight C．playing video games helps Lam release pressure D．lam went through hard times before he became successful 64．Which of the following elements has NOT contributed to Lam’s success，according to the article? A．His passion for music． B．His song-writing talent． C．Support from fans． D．The skills he learned in the army．

B ON March 17 there will be an explosion of green across the World in celebration of St Patrick’s Day．The Irish traditionally wear green on this day, as the color is associated with Ireland． But there are others, non-Irish，who use the occasion to make jokes about the Irish．They use the stereotype(成见)of the Irish as hot-tempered(脾气暴躁的)drinkers，who love to fight and will do anything to avoid a day's work． However, today the Irish are more often admired for their musical talent and many other abilities．It’s no accident that many of today's most popular music groups，such as singer Enya and rock band U2，are Irish born and bred．Lonely Planet readers even ranked Ireland in 2007 as the friendliest country in the world． So where did the negative Irish stereotype come from? From the 19th century when it was a bad time to be Irish． Ireland then was poverty-stricken and starving．Many Irish moved to the United States to escape famine, but there they had to compete---occasionally with their fists for jobs and housing with other immigrant groups，such as the Italians．It was on the US’ streets that the Irish earned their reputation for street fighting． The stereotype of the Irish as big drinkers may be unfair, but Ireland can boast(为……自豪) its fair share of famous drinks．It was the Irish after all who created one of the world’s best-loved beers，Guinness． 65．What is the story mainly about? A．How the Irish earned their reputation． B．The festival-St Patrick’s Day． C．Jokes about the Irish people． D．Famous Irish stereotype and the truth． 66．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A．St Palrick’s Day is celebrated nowhere else but Ireland． B．Modern Irish show no interest in drinking alcohol． C．Part of the stereotype about the Irish is that they are lazy． D．Irish people usually get hot-tempered when laughed at． 67．Where did the negative Irish stereotype come from? A．From their everyday behavior toward other people． B．From the behavior of Irish immigrants to America in the 19th century． C．From the historical record of 19th century Ireland． D．From most people’s impression of Irish people

C RIDING in school buses in the early morning，then sitting in poorly lit classrooms，are the main reasons students have trouble getting to sleep at night，according to new research． Teenagers，like everyone else，need bright light in the morning to allow their circadian rhythms(生理节奏)to get into step with nature's cycles of day and night． If they don't get blue 1ight in the morning，they get to sleep an average of six minutes later at night，until their bodies are completely out of sync(同步) with the school day，researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York said last month． The finding was made by fitting goggles(护目镜)that block blue light from the sun to a group of students．The researchers discovered that their circadian rhythms were greatly affected． Parents and teachers have been complaining in recent years that teens stay up too late at night，then fall asleep in class the next morning and do poorly in school．The new findings provide a possible explanation for the problem． At the root of the research is the circadian rhythm, the body's natural sleep and waking cycle．Even though the Earth makes a full rotation(旋转)in 24 hours，the body's circadian cycle is about 24 hours and six minutes 1ong．The cycle is mediated(调节)by a chemical called melatonin(褪黑激素)．The body starts to produce it about two hours before it is time to sleep and, in the absence of blue 1ight，the body produces about six minutes later each day. In the study, the researchers studied 11 students at Smith Middle School in New York, which was designed so that a lot of sunlight reaches classrooms． On a Friday night，the researchers measured what time the 11 students’ bodies began releasing melatonin．On Monday morning，the students were sent to school with orange goggles that blocked most blue light from their eyes to mimic(模拟) the conditions found in many---if not most--schools． By the end of the week，the students were releasing melatonin 30 minutes 1ater in the evening---an average of six minutes a day--and going to sleep correspondingly(相应的) later． “This is our first field study，”said lead author Mariana G．Figueiro．He said they would like to repeat it in larger studies and for longer periods of time。 If the findings are repeated，a variety of solutions are available．Ideally, new schools would be built to allow more natural sunlight into the classrooms．Students could also be exposed to more sunlight outside． 68. According to the findings related in this article, many teenagers stay up late because_______ A. they lack melatonin in their bodies B. they have to get up so early to catch the school bus C. their circadian rhythms are in disorder D. they do not get enough blue light in the morning 69. According to the findings, a student who normally slept at 10:00 pm, but who spent 10 days in a poorly lit classroom, would probably be falling asleep at___________after the period. A. 12:00pm B. 11:30pm C. 11:00pm D. 10:00pm 70. What does the article tell us? A. Unlike adults, teenagers tend to feel sleepy during daytime. B. The sunlight is the only thing that can affect our circadian rhythms. C. If the findings prove correct, solutions could be found to teen sleeping problems. D. Most schools have small windows and the classrooms are poorly lit. 71. The main point of the article is to___________ A. warn teenagers not to stay up late or sleep in class B. report on some new findings related to teenagers' sleeping problems C. give suggestions on how to build schools D. advertise goggles which can protect the eyes from the sun

Franklin and his family were the top names on the list． 72.
