Present第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）AMargeaux Wolberg was sitting with the other 12-year-olds in her class when one of the girls turned to her and asked, “Is your mom dead?”She never came to school like the other mothers to volunteer in the library or help the teachers. It was always Margeauxs dad who did that.Margeaux reached for her laptop, typed a few words into Google and showed her classmate a list of hits with her mothers name and job titles, from chief information officer at S to her current role as vice-president of technology business operations at PayPal. “See, my moms not dead,” she said. “My moms famo us.”Kirsten Wolberg, 45, tells this story with pride. She doesnt fall into the guilt trap these days when she has to miss a school play. Instead she is content that her two daughters are growing up with such a strong role model: a woman in a high-powered job in Silicon Valley.Long before either of her kids was bom , Wolberg and her future husband Michael had a conversation about how they would divide household and childcare duties. “I said, Listen ，one of the things thats really important to me is to have a parent at home full time，” she remembers. “ 4And it cant be me.，”Michael Wolberg, 43，worked for years for a pharmaceutical distributor（医药分销商）. But when Margeaux was bom, he quit or retired, as he likes to say to become a stay-at-home dad. And he hasnt looked back. The relative quiet of spending 12 hours a day alone with a child suits his personality better than an office, he says, and much better than it would ever suit his wife.“Shes spent many, many years trying to get to the place where she is and even further，” he says, “and this lifestyle of crawling(爬行) around on the floor and changing diapers(尿片）and all kinds of other things is not for her.”56.From the first three paragraphs we know that Margeaux _.A. felt hurt by her classmates B. was proud of her motherC. felt disappointed with her mother D. was looked down upon in the school57.According to the passage, Kirsten _.A. finds it hard to seek her kids understandingB. is glad to have set a good example to her kidsC. is as successful in her career as her husbandD. feels sorry for not helping in her girls school58.

We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. If we achieve knowledge by passive learning, its not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor (谣言).Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesnt show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.Thats what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.This process is also found among scholars and writers: A statement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted（引述） by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it happens to someone to question the facts.64.Which of the following is NOT a passive learning？ A. Reading academic works.B. Doing questions and answers in the classroom.C. Writing research papers based on experiments.D. Taking part in a recitation competition.65.

What can we infer from the passage?A. Active learning is less important. B. Passive learning may not be reliable. C. Active learning happens more often. D. Passive learning is not found among writers.DA new study suggests that early exposure to bacteria strengthens the immune system（免疫系统）. That means letting children get a little dirty might be good for their health later in life.The study involved laboratory mice. It found that adult mice raised in a bacteria-free environment were more likely to develop allergies and other autoimmune disorders（自体免疫紊乱）. There are more than eighty disorders, where cells, which normally defend the body, attack tissues and organs instead.In 1989, medical researchers sought to explain these diseases. They suppose that the increasing use of antibacterial soaps and other products, especially early in life, could weaken immune systems. They think the supposition has stated or suggested that early-life exposure to bacteria is a very important determinant of later life sensitivity to allergic and so-called autoimmune diseases. Now, the researchers have what they say is the first biological evidence to link early exposure to bacteria to stronger adult immune systems. They say this exposure could prevent the development of some autoimmune diseases.In the adult bacteria-free mice, they found that inflammation（炎症）in the lungs was caused by so-called killer T cells. These normally fight infection（感染）. But they became overactive and targeted healthy tissue. Researchers found the mice raised in a normal environment did not have the same reaction mainly because their immune systems had been “educated” by early exposure to bacteria. Rates of autoimmune disorders are rising worldwide, but mostly in wealthier and industrialized countries.Rob Dunn, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at North Carolina State University, says the new study does not mean people should stop washing. “Wash your hands, but dont do it with antimicrobial（抗菌的）soap. Let your kids play in a reasonable amount of dirt and get outside and get exposed to a variety of things.”68. We can learn from this passage thatA. adult bacteria-free mice have stronger immune systemsB. antimicrobial soaps help protect people from autoimmune disordersC. rates of autoimmune disorders are rising faster in industrialized countriesD. exposure to bacteria should be prevented in case of autoimmune disorders69. The underlined “they” in paragraph four refers toA. autoimmune disorders B. killer T cells C. adult bacteria-free mice D. lungs70. What Rob Dunn says in the last paragraph serves as a(n)A. explanation to the topic sentence B. introduction to the topic sentenceC. comment on the topic sentence D. repetition of the topic sentence71. The best title of this passage should be .A. Wash Your Hands to Prevent Autoimmune DisordersB. Why Getting Dirty Can Be Healthy for ChildrenC. Bacteria-free Environment Does Good to Adult miceD. Researchers Sought to Explain Bacteria-free EnvironmentEOnly two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a newborn child. Last spring one of the two, Australia, gave up the bad distinction by setting up paid family leave starting in 2011. I wasnt surprised when this didnt make the news here in the United States-were now the only wealthy country without such a policy.The United States does have one explicit family policy, the Family and Medical Leave Act, passed in 1993. It entitles workers to as much as 12 weeks unpaid leave for care of a newborn or dealing with a family medical problem. Despite the modesty of the benefit, the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups fought it bitterly, describing it as government-run personnel management and a dangerous precedent (先例). In fact, every step of the way, as (usually) Democratic leaders have tried to introduce work-family balance measures into the law, business groups have been strongly opposed.As Yale law professor Anne Alstott, argues, justifying parental support depends on defining (定义) the family as a social good that, in some sense, society must pay for. Parents are burdened in many ways in their lives: there is no exit when it comes to children. Society expects-and needs-parents to provide their children with continuity of care. And society expects-and needs-p
