第三部分:阅读理解(第一节20小题,第二节5小题;每小题2分,共50分) 第一节:阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卷上将该项标号涂黑。 Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working harder than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the great efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunch rooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever increasing output. Thus the "typical" Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comfort and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality. Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics(批评家). They fear that “assembly line(装配线)life” will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance(优雅), and the cultivation of the good things in life to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a walk by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local café? Since the late 1950s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the achievements of this competitive, goods-oriented culture. At times, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence. In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old. 1.Which of the following is not given as a feature(特色) of the old French way of life? A. Leisure. B. Taste. C. Elegance D. Efficiency. 2. The passage suggests that _________. A. the smell of freshly picked apples is no more popular with the French B. it’s now unlikely to see a Frenchman enjoying a walk by the river C. in pursuing material gains the French are suffering losses elsewhere D. student critics are great in number than the people enjoying the new lifestyle 3. Which of the following is NOT true about Frenchmen? A. Many of them prefer the modern life style. B. They actually enjoy working at the assembly line. C. They are more concerned with money than before. D. They are more competitive than the old generation. 4.Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage? A. Great changes have occurred in the French way of Life. B. The new life style in France is facing serious criticism. C. France has been pushed in the forefront of the world economy. D. Frenchmen used to be lazy and only enjoy life conveniences.

If you wanted to know what it’s like to walk on the moon, you’d interview an astronaut. If you wanted insights(深刻的见解) on playing Hamlet, you’d study the performance of a Shakespearean actor. And if you wanted to know what the first year of teaching school is like, well... you’d ask teachers who just completed their first year on the job. We wanted to know and we asked. This book attempts to capture the fascinating and inspiring answers we received. It is based largely on a series of discussions held among winners of the First Class Teacher Award sponsored(赞助) every year by Sallie Mae, a corporation devoted to education. As in the past years, first-year teachers who won the award came to Washington, DC in the fall for a weekend of awards and related events. One activity that grew out of the awards is a series of focus group discussions. These discussions allow us to ask first-year teachers some key questions: What was it like the first year What were your hardest challenges and your greatest rewards? Did you get the right preparation? Do you have any insights you could offer new teachers? The teachers talked in frank terms about what it’s like to feel rebuffed by experienced teachers, to struggle with budget cutbacks, to see children in pain. But the difficulties they related are only half the story. They also told us how they dealt with challenges, what they would want new teachers to know, and why being a teacher is so important to their sense of self. All together, their words paint a picture of an inspired and inspiring group of up-and-coming leaders in their profession. We believe their reflections will prove helpful to principals, administrators, university professors in education departments, and particularly, new teachers who are speeding up to face the first day of school. This book is built on the words and recollections(回忆) of award-winning, first-year teachers. We have used direct quotations(引用语) from teachers (with their permission), both from the focus group discussions and from a set of essays they wrote. We felt their voices needed to be heard as directly as possible. Our job was to present their insights in a way that would be useful for readers. What follows is our effort to do so. Thank you for your interest, and we welcome your response. Sincerely, Sharon A. Bobbitt, Ph.D. Director, Knowledge Applications Division U.S. Department of Education 65.Sharon A. Bobbitt writes the passage mainly to ________. A. inspire would-be teachers B. praise the award winners C. share his teaching experience D. introduce a valuable book 66.What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage? A. To provide background information of the topic. B. To attract readers’ attention to the topic. C. To use the examples to support the topic. D. To offer basic knowledge of the topic. 67.Which of the following is TRUE about the First Class Teacher Award? A. It is sponsored by Sallie Mae every year. B. It is held sometimes in Washington, DC. C. It focuses on discussions and contests. D. The participants are invited to write books. 68.What does the underlined word “rebuffed” in the Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Impressed deeply. B. Taught sincerely. C. Refused rudely. D. Helped warm-heartedly.

Obesity(肥胖) in children and adolescents is rising at an alarming rate. Currently over 15% of young people over 6 years old are obese, and obesity is also increasing among children aged 5 and younger. Children are considered to be overweight if the BMI(Body Mass Index) is over 85% of the weight group in their age and sex categories. If it is 95% and over, they are considered to be obese. Adolescents are generally judged according to adult criteria(标准) for obesity, although there are other considerations in this population, for many factors will affect the result of these measurements. Causes and Risk Factors for Obesity in Children Lifestyle Factors. Without educational or parental guidance, children are extremely greatly exposed to the cultural pressures that are largely responsible for growth of the obesity. Neither the media nor the educational system has strong programs that encourage healthy way of life, including exercise and healthy foods. The following are some specific problems created by the culture: ﹡Too much television watching plays an important role in obesity in children. Not only is it a passive activity, but television also offers countless temptations(诱惑) with its advertisements for fast foods, sugar cereals, and unhealthy snacks. In one study obesity rate were lowest in children who watched television one hour or less a day and highest in those who watched four or more hours. ﹡Sugar, particularly from soda, other sweet drinks, and fruit juice, may be major contributors to childhood obesity. One study reported that drinking soda regularly increases a child’s risk for obesity by 60%. ﹡Less physical exercise and greater sitting activities play another significant role in obesity in children. A high level of physical activity – not just using up energy – is important for weight control in young people. Family History. Parental obesity more than doubles the risk that a young child, whether thin or overweight, will become obese as an adult. In older children and teenagers, obesity in parents starts to affect less as a predictor(预言) for body weight than their own weight. The risk may be due to environmental or genetic factors, or both. Ethnic and Socioeconomic Factors. As in adult populations, children from lower socioeconomic groups and minority populations are at higher risk for obesity. For example, among young Mexican Americans and African Americans, there has been an increase in overweight trend of about 13% to over 23%. 69.What’s the main idea of the passage? ______________. A. The trend of obesity B. Causes of obesity C. Fight against obesity D. Obesity in children 70.How many main factors leading to obesity in children are mentioned? A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5 71.According to the passage, which of the following children is most likely to be obese? A. A 5-year-old child whose parents are overweight. B. A 16-year-old teenager whose parents are obese. C. A child who watches TV one hour per day. D. A child who take regular exercise. 72.Which of the following is NOT true? A. Parents should give some guidance on healthy lifestyles. B. Watching TV four hours a day will surely lead to obesity in children. C. Children from minority populations are more likely to be obese. D. Children should take more physical exercises.

On March 23, 2010, Google Inc took a major step in withdrawing(收回) its search-engine services from Beijing to Hong Kong. Google acknowledged that it failed to make progress in talks with the Chinese government for permission to let Google stop censoring(审查) its search results. Since posting the announcement on its website, Google’s stock(股票) price has fallen from $595 to about $567, while Baidu, the leading search engine in China, has seen its stock price rise by 50%. A potential foreign beneficiary(受益者) is Bing, Microsoft’s new search engine. And while Bing may not exactly have got the keys to a very rich kingdom, its managing group understand their good fortune and have not been shy about sticking the knife into Google. Craig Mundie, a chief officer of Bing, told China Daily that “we feel good enough now,” adding, “but it’s a 20-year journey, and not just three years. And Microsoft is here to stay.” Several other Chinese Internet companies are no doubt moving swiftly to take advantage of this situation. Both Sohu. com—a Yahoo-like website in China— and a hugely successful instant-messaging company called Tencent(腾讯) are already trying to hire Google China staff. Analysts believe that of the two, Tencent is in the better position. Nearly 70% of China’s 400 million Internet users use instant-messaging, and of those, 80% use Tencent’s system, known as QQ. That’s the major reason why Tencent’s potential market is bigger than Baidu’s, and an insider at the company acknowledges that the search business is full of opportunities. All the competitors of Google do what the Chinese government requires: censor their search results. If Microsoft and the others intend to be in China “to stay,” as Craig Mundie put it, there is no chance that the censoring principle will change for them. As to the Google’s exit, one of its investors made the comment recently, “There’re still a lot of us who believe that they’ve made the wise choice. But Google is apparently out and I guess we just get to accept.” However, some Chinese netizens regretted the loss of its professional services on google. cn, such as maps, videos, music and translations. 73.Google.cn stops its business in China because _____. A. too many companies enter the market B. its stock price has fallen sharply C. Chinese companies hire its workers D. it refuses to censor the search results 74.How many Chinese beneficiaries are mentioned in the passage? A. Two. B. Three C. Four. D. Five. 75.When Google withdraws, _______. A. Chinese netizens won’t have any professional service B. only Chinese companies will provide search service C. China’s attitude towards censoring won’t be changed D. the Google managing group will regret its decision 76.A suggested title for this news would be ______. A. When Google Withdraws From China B. Who Wins in China’s Search Business C. Who Will Profit When Google Exits D. Why Google Loses to Other Competitors
