第三部分：阅读理解（共两节, 40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分, 共30分）
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的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
One day, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfect score. I was elected as their arbiter（仲裁人）. I read the examination problem："Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer（气压计）. ”The student had answered; "Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building.”
The student had really answered the question completely, but the answer didn't confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and dashed off one, which read：“Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula（公式）to calculate the height of the building.”
At this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks. I couldn't help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others, and then added, "Probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him, ‘Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.”,
Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.
The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.
56. The student got a zero at the beginning because _____.
A. the teacher wasn't satisfied with him
B. his answer wasn't complete or correct
C. the teacher didn't fully understand his answer
D. his answer didn't show his knowledge of physics
57. We know from the passage that _____.
A. the student knew the expected answer
B. the administrator told Bohr the height
C. the author preferred Bohr's last answer
D. the teacher was a very stubborn person
58. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. instructors can teach students how to think
B. arbiters can help students to get high scores
C. students should be given more freedom in thinking
D. teachers should make students use physical formulas
59. What was Bohr's attitude toward his schooling?
A. Optimistic. B. Critical. C. Approving. D. Ambiguous.
B
Your Car Is Ready for Take-off
The flying car has been talked about for many years, but now it appears that the idea is about to become a reality.
An international company has built a two-seater plane that, at the touch of a button, transforms into a car perfectly suitable for driving on public roads. It has been designed so that the wings fold up automatically, and it takes just 15 seconds to switch between flying and driving. With its wings fully open and the propeller（螺旋桨）spinning, it can take off from any airfield.
Flying cars are quicker than traditional ones for travelling from city to city, and they can run on ordinary fuel. Another big advantage is that they are cool, like something you would see in an action film. At the moment, however, the flying car's wheels are illegal to leave the ground. That is not because of technical reasons or problems with the design. It is because the various road and aircraft authorities simply cannot agree on whether it is a car or a plane.
"The government and the authorities have never thought seriously about a flying car,” says Alan Price, the president of the company that has developed it. “I wanted a car that could fly and drive, but it is difficult to find an organization prepared to insure the vehicle against accidents.”
Nevertheless, the company hopes to produce and deliver its first flying car soon. The company already has orders for 40 of them. The majority of the potential customers are older and some are retired. There have even been orders from some people who have no pilot's license.
The flying car will cost around＄200,000.“For an airplane, that's a very reasonable price, but for a car, it's quite expensive, ”explains Alan.“But it just is not possible to make a＄10,000 flying car yet.”
This latest means of transport will not become a mass-market item in the near future, but in the long term it has the potential to change the way you travel. It will become no more expensive than driving your car on the motorway. Travel time could be reduced by more than half.
So the next time you are told to fasten your seat belt, it may be to prepare for take-off.
60. We know from the passage that the flying car _____.
A. has to run on special fuel B. will replace traditional planes
C. is popular with the rich D. can shift between two forms
61 . The flying car is presently forbidden to take off because _____.
A. many people think driving it not very safe
B. it's hard to decide whether it's a car or a plane
C. the government and the authorities don't accept it
D. there are still some technical problems to be solved
62. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. few people will be able to afford a flying car
B. flying cars may share the market in the future
C. traffic jams will disappear because of flying cars
D. driving a flying car doesn't require a pilot's license
C
The early lack of exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics（STEM）can be harmful to achieving gender（性别）balance in these fields. It begins when we are young and continues throughout our time in high school.
While at home, girls generally don't get to experience the level of exposure or encouragement in STEM fields that their male counterparts do. It is often subtle, but it's the first hurdle that faces and confuses so many women. Boys, on the other hand, get on their path, and are encouraged to do so, generally earlier than girls. For example, boys are more often given science sets as toys, which spark an interest in these subjects.
In school, boys are often pushed to take the more challenging math and science classes. So if we want to attract the best and brightest minds into the fields that will advance us as a people, a country, and a planet, we can no longer look to only half of the population. Young girls cannot possibly consider opportunities they do not know exist. If girls are not exposed to certain subject and career paths, they are highly unlikely to choose to follow them in college.
Our bias（偏见）toward girls, either from families or from schools, is so rooted in our culture that we often don't even recognize it. Although the situation has changed greatly in the past 20 or 30 years, there is still a sense, that girls aren't as good at math, for instance, even though there is almost no evidence to support such a belief.
It is important that as a society we deal with gender stereotypes long before young people are faced with a decision to declare or choose a major in college. Without making efforts to break them, we are limiting the potentials of our youth, both male and female. Providing the necessary resources, exposure, and encouragement would help young women understand that their gender shouldn't determine the career path they choose, and that pursuing a STEM career does not make them less feminine.
63. According to the passage, not many girls grow to enter STEM fields because _____.·
A. girls are not as good at STEM as boys
B. girls do not like to take science classes
C. girls get fewer chances to know about STEM
D. girls seldom survive the high pressure positions
64. The underlined word “it" in Para. 4 refers to _____.
A. our bias B. our culture C. the situation D. a sense
65. The main purpose of the passage is to _____..
A. show women's potentials in STEM fields
B. praise women's contributions to STEM fields
C. describe the present gender bias in STEM fields
D. call for more involvement of women in STEM fields
66. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
D
Online shoppers would rather receive an offer for a product or service than make their own offer, according to a study led by a Michigan State University scholar that has implications for the fast-growing e-commerce industry. The findings may come as a surprise given that shopping online is an anonymous（匿名的）process that seemingly can give consumers more confidence to drive a hard bargain, said Don Conlon, Professor of Management in MSU's Broad College of Business.
But the study found that participants who made their own offers were less successful in sealing the deal and, when they were successful, worried they overpaid. Many shoppers found the process of researching an offer to be a hassle. "Americans are very busy, and it's less time-consuming to be the one receiving the offer rather than the one proposing the offer,” Conlon said. “People tend to be happier when they're in the receiver role.”
Online spending in the United States is expected to jump 45 percent in the next four years, from＄226 billion this year to＄327 billion in 2017, according to Forrester Research Inc. Nevertheless, researches into this prosperous market remain largely focused on the strategies of companies, rather than those of shoppers. Conlon's study is, obviously, a rare exception. Conlon got the idea for the study after considering the difference between two popular sites for hotels and airline flights, priceline.com, which takes bids, and hotwire.com, which provides offers. Using these two models, Conlon and his fellow researchers conducted a series of experiments with more than 850 people who were charged with booking a fictional hotel room and acquiring a fictional antique car. Not only did participants prefer to receive bids, Conlon said, but they also secured more deals in that receiver role. Further, when they had to make the bids, they were left more mentally taxed and regretful.
From an industry perspective, putting customers in the receiver role may help fill more hotel rooms and airplane seats. “If you're a business with a lot of products, ” Conlon said, “you may want to be the one making the offers.” However, when selling single items, such as an antique car, accepting bids may be a better option since that typically drives up the price, he said.
67. What can we learn from Para. 1？
A. The result of the study gives customers more confidence.
B. Scholars aren't surprised at the findings of the study.
C. Online shoppers don't bargain as much as expected.
D. E-commerce industry drives more hard bargains.
68. It can be concluded from Conlon's experiments that _____.
A. online shopping is time-consuming
B. given prices help promote online sales
C. online businesses provide a lot of products
D. receiving offers makes online shoppers regretful
69. The underlined word“taxed" in Para. 4 probably means _____.
A. burdened B. numbed C. relieved D. challenged
70. The passage is mainly about _____.
A. the big advantages of online shopping
B. the rapid development of online shopping
C. online shoppers' preference for taking offers
D. online companies' strategies to improve service

Does a Dog Help a Teen with Low Self-esteem ?
A dog is known as man's best friend for good reason. Loyal and affectionate, a dog companion can enrich its owner's life in many ways. _____ (71) Many teenagers suffer from periods of low self-esteem（自尊）as they try to navigate the wavy waters of adolescence and deal with all of its associated highs and lows.
A teenager who lacks self-esteem may feel isolated from his peers and unable to tell his parents about personal issues. The company of a dog can be a huge comfort and ease feelings of loneliness and awkwardness. A dog offers genuine unconditional love. _____ (72)
All dogs need exercise, so taking his dog for a walk is the perfect opportunity for a teenager to get outdoors and benefit from fresh air and physical activity. Exercise allows people to take control of their bodies, which is often the first step toward regaining control of other aspects of their life, says mental health specialist Dr. Alan Cohen. _____ (73) Exercise releases chemicals called endorphins（内啡肽）into the brain, which create positive responses in the body, including improved self-esteem.
Dogs can help teenagers be more sociable and make new friends, suggests HELPGUIDE. _____ (74) A dog is a great ice-breaker, avoiding awkward social situations and putting the teenager at ease with people he meets. The more confident the teen becomes when out and about with his dog, the more his self-esteem will improve.
_____ (75) If a teenager is suffering from depression or developing dangerous habits such as alcohol and drug abuse, more extreme action may be required. In these cases, professional help should be sought and all treatment plans considered. Parents who suspect that their teen's low self-esteem is a sign of a far more serious problem should ask a suitably qualified health professional for advice.
A. In some cases, having a dog will not help with a teenager's low self-esteem.
B. It simply accepts its owner for who he is and doesn't judge, question or criticize.
C. Pets offer an unconditional love that can be very helpful to people with depression.
D. You don't have to worry about hurting your pet's feelings or getting advice you don't want.
E. In particular, someone with low self-esteem may find a pet dog to be extremely beneficial.
F. A teen may meet his peers while walking his dog in the park or taking part in a dog training class.
G. Many forms of exercise besides walking can be enjoyed with a dog, such as cycling, jogging and throwing a ball.

四、One possible version:
Last week, I received an exchange student Mike from the US. The first day, I went to pick him up at the Capital Airport and we chatted happily along the way. In order to get him to know Chinese culture, I prepared a series of activities. For example, on the second day, we paid a visit to the famous Maoer Hutong, where we had an interesting rickshaw tour. Mike felt very excited about the driver’s vivid introduction to the history of Hutongs. The following day, I took him to MeiLanfang Grand Theatre to watch Beijing Opera. Although he could understand few words, he was still amazed to see the colorful costumes and the unique way of performing. When it was time for him to return to the US, I sent him some gifts with Chinese elements, such as a Beijing Opera mask and a Chinese knot. He was very grateful for what I had done and said he was really impressed by the diversified Chinese culture.
From this experience, I felt proud of being a Chinese and felt it my duty to introduce Chinese culture to the world.

三、One possible version:
Jim, look at this funny picture. From my perspective, this picture warns us against working blindly. The boy is obviously busy picking apples from a tree. However, he loses most of them from the hole in the basket as he takes no notice of it. In life, we often keep making efforts blindly like the boy in the picture, not knowing how much we actually gain. For example, many students often busy themselves dealing with homework and test papers every day, but forget to check if they have really learned anything. So, I think we should open our eyes and make every bit of our efforts count. Only in this way can we really work effectively and keep the “apples” inside our “basket”. Do you agree, Jim?
可以接受的立意:
1. 盲目做事不看结果，最终收获甚微;
2. 做事前应该准备充分才能确保收获;
3. 做事情要具有合适的工具；
4. 不仅关注所得，也要关注所失；

M: We’re going to watch baseball tonight. Chicago White Sox VS New York Mets. Would you like to go with us?
W: Sorry. I’m going to take the children to their grandparents’. It’s far away.

M: Hello. My name is John Smith. I booked a room 3 days ago.
W: Just a minute, sir. Let me check the list. Yes, Mr. Smith. You’ve reserved a single room for 4 days. Is that right?
M: Yes. I may need to stay longer. Can you make it one more day?
W: No problem, sir.

M: Can I help you, Madam？
W: Yes, could you please have a look at my computer? It doesn’t work.
M: Let me see. Mm…the computer is fine. The problem is with the mouse.
W: Can you fix it?
M: Well, I don’t think I can. You’d better buy a new one.

W: Hi, dear. I’m tired and don’t want to cook. Shall we have dinner in a restaurant?
M: Oh, I forgot to tell you. Jane and Bill invited us to dinner this evening. I promised we’d go.
W: Good! You know I love Jane’s cooking. What time?
M: 6:30 pm. Bill said we could go to the bar together after dinner.
W: That’s nice. Shall we take them anything? Mm… apple pies?
M: No. Jane said she’d like to do all the food preparation herself. What about taking a bottle of
wine? Bill loves wine.
W: I’d rather take some flowers. I know Jane loves roses.
M: Good. I’ll buy some on my way home.

W: Jack, why do you have a Band-Aid on your arm?
M: Oh, that. I donated blood today.
W: You did? That’s great. I’d like to do that, too. But every time I get close to a needle, I’ll faint.
M: I’m used to it. I’ve donated blood many times lately. The needle doesn’t bother me.
W: You’re so brave. That’s very admirable. I know how important it is for patients in operations.
M: I don’t mind doing it. It’s not a big deal.
W: But it is a big deal. If the Red Cross didn’t have enough blood when they travelled to disaster areas, they couldn’t help the injured people there. I’m sure that’s why you do it, right?
M: Well...
W: Well, what?
M: There is a particularly pretty nurse who works in the blood station.
W: Ah.

W: That’s nice of you, Tony. You are always helping me.
M: It’s my pleasure, Jocelyn. You know a friend in need is a friend indeed.

M: Now, as new students at the university, you will probably need some sort of guidance to help you to use the library effectively. Some of you have asked for a guided tour but we don’t think that’s a good idea. So in this first week, we run a series of talks which focus on different aspects of the library and its resources. You really do need to know more about how to access the computer information. Clearly, you can find lots there but much of it is useless information as it is from highly debatable sources, so be careful. Naturally, we still have the full range of classic reference books for you and there are several copies of each one. There is a deadline for you to return your books so that they are not missing from the shelves for too long. If you get stuck looking for things, you can ask the library assistants.
