第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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。 athe name might sound like that of a superhero, but poopermans task is much more basic. he, or she, is trying to shame the irresponsible dog owners of lincoln into cleaning up behind their pets. pooperman sticks notes into dog waste that owners have failed to clean up, warning them not to do it again. the typed notes read: “dont leave it. you might be the one who steps in it the next time you walk this way.” while welcoming the purpose of the message, local government officers have rounded on pooperman for producing even more rubbish. they say they would prefer it if people told them when there was a problem rather than adding to the rubbish problem. the city of lincoln governments environmental officer, tony garner, said: “the public can help instead by observing dog owners to make sure they clean up after their pets, perhaps asking them to remove the waste if they try to leave it.” “if this doesnt work we can take action- people can call us who the owner is, give us a description of the owner and the dog, or simply tell us when and where they allow their dog to produce the waste.”“ we can then focus our patrols(巡逻) and take action against irresponsible owners.”sue grace, a dog owner from birchwood, lincs, said: “i always clean up after my dog, its very irresponsible if you dont.”“theres nothing worse than stepping in dog waste or dragging your long lead through it, but i dont know that putting notes on it is the answer.”“ its good that the local government is fighting against dog waste, though it might take one or two prosecutions(起诉) to make any difference.”51. what does pooperman try to do? a. to have irresponsible dog owners remove dog waste. b. to advise the local government to protect the environment. c. to praise responsible dog owners for protecting the environment. d. to remind the local government to deal with the dog waste problem. 52. what does the underlined part “round on” in paragraph 4 mean? a. punished b. blamed c. laughed at d. worried about 53. according to the environmental officer, the public can _ . a. punish irresponsible dog owners when necessary. b. report irresponsible dog owners to the police if possible. c. force irresponsible dog owners to clean up dog waste in some way. d. request irresponsible dog owners to clean up dog waste then and there.54. the dog owner sue grace believe that _ . a. the local dog owners are irresponsible. b. pooperman is responsible and doing an effective job. c. the law may play a role in fighting against dog waste. d. the local governments fighting against dog waste is successful. bteaching parents to switch channels from violent shows to educational tv can improve preschoolers behavior, even without getting them to watch less, a study found.its not just about turning off the television. its about changing the channel. what children watch is as important as how much they watch, said lead author dr. dimitri christakis, a pediatrician (儿科医生) and researcher at seattle childrens research institutethe study involved 565 seattle parents, who periodically filled out tv-watching diaries and questionnaires measuring their childs behavior.half were guided for six months on getting their 3-to-5-year-old kids to watch shows like sesame street, “bob the builder”, “clifford the big red dog” and dora the explorer rather than “happy tree friends” or power rangers. the results were compared with kids whose parents who got advice on healthy eating instead.at six months, children in both groups showed improved behavior, but there was a little bit more improvement in the group that was coached on their tv watching.by one year, there was no meaningful difference between the two groups overall. low-income boys appeared to get the most short-term benefit.thats important because they are at the greatest risk, both for being perpetrators of aggression(侵害) in real life, but also being victims of aggression, christakis said.the study also has some weakness-the parents werent told the purpose of the study, but they probably figured it out and that might have affected the results. though the results were modest and faded over time, they may hold promise for finding ways to help young children avoid aggressive, violent behavior.55. the passage is written to _ . a. describe kids different behavior. b. inform parents of their kids behavior. c. persuade parents not to let kids watching tv. d. offer some useful tips to improve kids behavior.56. which of the following shows can be a little more violent? a. bob the builder b. dora the explorer c. power ranger d. sesame street57. the word “perpetrators” in paragraph 7 probably refers to _ . a. people who do something wrong or bad. b. people who suffer a lot in real life. c. victims who are killed in a fight. d. criminals who are sentenced to death. 58. what does the author think of the study? a. imperfect but valuable. b. perfect but time-consuming. c. lengthy and useless d. meaningful and perfect. csomething that has always interested me about abraham lincoln is, not surprisingly, his sense of humor. as far as i can tell, hes the first american president to have one. thats because the term “sense of humor” really wasnt in common usage until the eighteen-sixties and seventies. in the eighteen-forties and fifties, it was called “the sense of the ridiculous,” and didnt have the positive connotations(隐含意义) that “sense of humor” has today. back then, what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule（讥笑）. funniness and cruelty went hand in hand. of course, they still do a lot of arm-in-arm strolling in our day as well.lincolns humor was very different because, for one thing, it was actually “humor” as the word was defined in his time. we dont make the distinction between “wit(风趣)” and “humor” anymore, but in the nineteenth century people did. wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic. its the difference we note now when we distinguish between “laughing with” and “laughing at.” lincoln was much more about “laughing with” than “laughing at.” and when “laughing at,” it was often himself he was teasing.in the famous lincoln-douglas debates, when douglas accused lincoln of being two-faced, lincoln replied, referencing his homeliness, “honestly, if i were two-faced, would i be showing you this one?” and, in a way, lincolns face itself tells us much about his sense of humor.you can comb through thousands of photographs of politicians, soldiers, and the like from lincolns time and not find a single smile.true, the long exposures(曝光) required for photographs of that era made smiling difficult. yet lincoln alone, as far as i can tell, overcame that difficulty.interestingly, while having a sense of humor, or at least the appearance of one provided by comedy writers, has become a necessary characteristic for an american president in our time, in the nineteenth century, too much humor was considered a problem. and that was the case for lincoln. a journalist covering the lincoln-douglas debates commented that “i could not take a real personal liking to the man, owing to an inborn weaknessthat he was extremely fond of jokes, anecdotes, and stories.”59. we can infer from paragraph 2 that _ . a. the american president could influence the use of english. b. the term “sense of humor” wasnt invented until the 1860s. c. what was funny to someone might be offensive to someone else. d. the concept of humor remains the same despite the passing of time.60. the underline words “this one” in paragraph 4 refer to _ . a. lincolns unattractive face. b. lincolns sense of humor c. the debate they were having. d. cruelty that went with funniness. 61. we rarely see people from lincolns time wear smiles in their photos because _ . a. being humorous was considered inappropriate. b. they found it quite funny to smile before camera. c. not smiling for photographs was the fashion. d. photography technology then was not advanced. 62. what might the writer think of the journalist covering the lincoln-douglas debates? a. his comment accurately reflected his time. b. he created a false picture of lincoln. c. he was prejudiced and self-centered. d. he was brave to point out lincolns weakness.dthe statue of liberty is a national monument. it stands on liberty island, in new york harbor.dressed in a robe and sandals, lady liberty braved strong winds, crashing waves and heavy rain from superstorm sandy last october. the world-famous statue survived the storm, but its home on liberty island wasnt so lucky. the island had been closed since the storm. but on july 4 this year, the statue of liberty finally reopened to visitors. superstorm sandy made landfall one day after the statues 126th birthday. the storm flooded most of the 12-acre island in new york harbor. floodwaters damaged the visitor center, walkways and electrical systems. in some areas, water surged(汹涌)as high as eight feet. the storm caused more than $59 million worth of damages to the island, but the statue of liberty itself was unharmed, since it stands on a high pedestal(底座).over the past eight months, the national park service (nps) has worked to clean up and repair the damages. more than 1,000 employees from all over the country helped with the repairs. through their efforts, lady liberty was made ready for visitors a
