阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15题，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给四个选项中选出最佳选项 a it was the first snow of the winter-an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. up to now, i had been old enough to dress myself, but today i would need some help. miss finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, ontario, had been through best snow days many times, but i think she may still remember this one. i managed to get into my wool snow trousers. but i struggled with my jacket because it didnt fit well. it was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why i had to wear the ugly clothes. at least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. finally it was time to have miss finlayson help me with my boots.in her calm, motherly voice she said, “by the end of the winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” i didnt realize at the time that it was more a statement of hope than of confidence. i handed her my boots and stuck out my feet. like most children, i expected the adult to do all the work. after much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too. i announced, “they are on the wrong feet.” she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again. “they are my brothers boots, you know, i hate them.” somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though i wasnt an annoying little girl. she struggled with me. she asked “now, where are your mittens(手套)?” i looked into her eyes and said, “i didnt want to lose them, so i hid them in the toes of my boots.”56. the little girl was more satisfied with her _.a. trousers b. jackets c. boots d. hat57. miss finlayson had difficulty with the little girls boots mainly because_.a. the girl got them from her brother b. the girl put something in themc. they were on the wrong feet d. they did not fit the girl well58. why does the author say miss finlayson would remember that first snow day?a. because the little girl was in her brothers clothes.b. because it was the most exciting day of the winter.c. because the little girl wore a pretty scarf.d. because the little played a trick on her.59. it can be inferred from the passage that miss finlayson _.a. was losing confidence in the little girl b. was gradually losing patience with the little girlc. became disappointed with the little girl d. got curious about the little girlb american children are not the only couch potatoes with nearly one third of children globally spending 3 hours a day or more watching tv or on computers, according to the study of over 70,000 teens in 34 nations.from argentina to zambia, regina guthold of the world health organization in geneva and her colleagues found most children were not getting enough exercise and that it made no difference whether they live in a rich or a poor country. “with regards to physical levels, we didnt find much of a difference between rich and poor countries,” guthold said, “growing up in a poor country doesnt necessarily mean kids get more physical activities.”the researchers defined adequate physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outdoors for at least 5 days a week. children spending 3 or more hours a day watching tv, playing computer games or chatting with friends were classified as sedentary.the researchers found only a quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. a quarter of boys and nearly 30% of girls were sedentary and didnt get enough exercise with girls less active than boys in every country aside from zambia.girls from india were the most active with 37 percent meeting exercise recommendation, while girls from egypt were the least active with 4 percent getting enough exercise. children in myanmar were the least sedentary while the most sedentary nations were st .lucia and the cayman islands.people show deep concern for kids lack of physical activity in various nations. why do they have a low level of physical activity? guthold speculated（认为）that urbanization could be a factor as well as easy access to cars and tvs.60. if you are sedentary, you _. a. are a diligent student spending much time doing homeworkb. have at least an hour of exercise outdoors 5 days a week.c. like watching tv and playing computer gamesd. spend longer hours sitting or lying without moving61. which of the following statements is true as to gutholds finding?a. most children around the world dont meet the exercise recommendation.b. girls in every country are no more active than boys.c. children in rich countries relatively get less physical activity.d. only 4% of the girls from egypt are not active in exercise.62. all the following statements are wrong except _.a. children in poor countries get more physical activities.b. girls in egypt are more active than those in india.c. couch potatoes are those children addicted to snacks.d. children in myanmar are less sedentary than those in st .lucia.63. what would the writer be most likely to discuss in detail in the paragraph that follows?a. the suitable amount of physical activities for students.b. some of the factors for the popularity of cars and tvs among the kids.c. the reasons behind the lack of physical activities.d. the ways to make the most of cars and tvs. c someday a stranger will read your email without your permission or scan the website you have visited. or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.in fact, it is likely that some of these things have already happened to you. who would watch you without permission? it might be a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss or a criminal. whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen-the 21st century is the equal of being caught naked.psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy and that it is important to reveal yourself to friends, families and lovers at appropriate time and places. but now few boundaries remain. the information you leave everywhere makes it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. believe it or not, we live in a world where you simply cant keep a secret. the key question is: does that matter? when you ask americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it.but people say one thing and do another. only a tiny part of americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the ez-pass system that can track automobile movements. and few refuse to offer personal information like social security numbers to get supermarket loyalty cards.but privacy (隐私) does matterat least sometimes. it is like health: when you have it, you dont notice it. only when it is gone do you wish you had done more to protect it.64. what does the underlined sentence in para 2 mean?a. peoples personal information is easily accessed without their knowing it.b. in the 21st century people try every means to look into others secrets.c. people tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.d. criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.65. which of the statements will the psychologists probably agree with?a. friends should open their hearts to each other.b. friends should always be faithful to each other.c. there should be a distance even between friends. d. the closer they are, the deeper their friendship is.66. in the last paragraph but one, the ez-pass system and social security numbers are used as evidence to show_.a. americans talk a lot but do little about privacy protectionb. americans use various loyalty cards for business.c. americans rely more and more on electronic devices.d. americans change behaviors that might disclose their identity.67. which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?a. privacy and health b. privacy is getting lost.c. boundary and friendship d. cherish what you haved not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the atlantic ocean, an s-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. the atlantic ocean, in a sense, replaced the mediterranean as the inland sea of western civilization. unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the atlantic ocean is rich in oceanic liveliness all the time. it is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.“storm at sea”, a shor
