第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题，每题2分，满分30分）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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。a“our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move，” said david belle, the cofounder of parkour (跑酷)do you love running? it is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. but what if making your morning jog a creative one？like jumping from walls and over gaps and ground rolls? just like the james bond in the movie casino royale? bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. it is just because of bonds wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.yes, thats parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. parkour is considered an extreme sport. as its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds，but its participants see parkour much more than that.overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy (哲理) behind parkour. this is the same as life. you must determine your destination, go straight, and jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. a parkour lover said，“i love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”another philosophy weve learnt from parkour is freedom. it can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. it is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.56parkour has become popular throughout the world because of _.aits cofounder, david bellebthe film, casino royalecits risks and tricksdthe varieties of participants57the underlined word “obstacles” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_”astreets bobjects cbarriers droofs58which of the following is true of parkour?ait challenges human abilities.bit is a good but boring sport.cit needs special training.dit is a team sport.59which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?asports and extremes.bexcitement and popularity.cdreams and success.ddetermination and freedom.bbaby girls make their way directly for dolls as soon as they can crawl, while boys will head for the toy cars, a study has shown. the findings, the first to show differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological（生物学的） basis to their preferences（偏爱）. psychologists dr. brenda todd from city university london carried out an experiment involving 90 infants(婴儿) aged nine months to 36 months. the babies were allowed to choose from seven toys. some were stereotypically boys toys - a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. the rest were girls toys: a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. they were placed a meter away from the toys, and could pick whichever toy they liked. their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.of the youngest children (nine to 14 months), girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did. among the two-and three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. the boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls barely touched. there was no link between the parents view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls, and the childrens choice.dr brenda todd said: “children of this age are already exposed to much socialization(社会化). boys may be given toys that go while girls get toys they can care for, which may help shape their preference. but these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys. there could be a biological basis for their choices. males through evolution have been adapted to prefer moving objects, probably through hunting instincts（本能）, while girls prefer warmer colours such as pink, the colour of a newborn baby.”60. baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because_. ababy boys are much more activebbaby girls like bright colours morecthere is a natural difference between themdtheir parents treat them differently61what can we infer from paragraph 3?anine-month-old baby boys dont play with dolls at all.btwo-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls.cparents should teach their babies to share each others toys. dthe older the babies are, the more obvious their preference is.62what conclusion did dr. brenda todd draw from the results of the study?ababies preference isnt affected by social surroundings. badults purposely（故意地） influence their babies preference.cbaby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting.dbaby girls preferring warmer colors will be warm-hearted.63we may read this article in a_ section of a newspaper.ahealth bscience c. education dentertainmentchow could we have thought so wrongly of as banana peel that it always hits the garbage? utility of anything seems to be in the eyes of the beholder. the banana peel hasnt been an exception. what most of us looked at as waste was converted to a thing of utility by prithwis mukhopadlyay, a 14-year-old prodigy. this bengali boy, nourished in the us, lake junior high in woodbury, minnesota, has come up with an idea to convert banana peels to biogas.(生物气).its well known that almost any organic waste can be converted to biogas. but why biogas from banana peel has hit the news is because it produced five times as much biogas as manure(粪), a commonly used source for producing biogas, in the experiments prithwis conducted. he filled two airtight containers, one with manure and the other with banana peels. then he mixed each content with water and connected them to empty jars via pipes to collect the gas produced. he placed a heater next to each jar and measured the gas collected for 60 days. his studies proved that banana peels produced five times more biogas than manure. this project titled comparison analysis: eco-friendly source of energy for the future, earned him a spot in discovery channel young scientist challenge. this weekend, the young whiz is to showcase his research work along with 40 other finalists at washington. initially, i thought of doing a project that would reduce global warming. things changed after i visited a biogas plant in a village in india during my summer vacations. it was an amazing experience, prithwis says.64. why could prithwiss finding receive the attention of the media?a. because he is a prodigy.b. because he is of bengali descent.c. because he used an extremely rare organic waste to produce biogas.d.because his research proved that banana peels can produce more biogas.65.where did prithwis derive his inspiration from?a. lake junior high. b discovery channel. c. india. d.his laboratory at home.66. this article probably appeared in a _ magazine.a. gourmet b. science c. computer d.
