Part 3 Reading and Writing (第三部分 读写). Reading comprehension (阅读理解): (共50分)A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): (共 12分)Students across China, studying in the fields of engineering, science and technology, are developing a lot of inventions. Here are three examples from the minds of Chinas young inventors. Foot Controlled MouseThis new kind of mouse is controlled by the feet instead of the hands, to help disabled people when surfing the Internet. The new invention is called a “surf mouse”, and looks like a pair of blue slippers. When users press the slippers with their forefeet, they are clicking the left mouse button; when people press with their heels, they are clicking the right mouse; when they roll their feet over the slippers, they can surf Web pages. Dirty Water Filter The “pump of life”, a filter, can make dirty water drinkable. The pump is over 30 centimeters long. It has an in-pipe at the top and out-pipe at the end. There are two main parts: the drive zone to pump water and the material zone to eliminate harmful things. Rain fish tank water and coalmine water can all be cleaned in the material zone. The invention could be used for many kinds of disaster relief. The inventor of the filter told us that water was delivered by helicopters to Wenchuan in 2008. If the water-purifying equipment had been sent instead, people could have had more water faster after the earthquake. Transformer VehicleThe multi-functional vehicle is named Tranfus. By changing the breadth (宽度) of tires and the structure of a car, it can become a motorbike or a luggage carrier. The name Tranfus is a short form of “transforming for us”. Traffic jams can make a driver go crazy. The Tranfus can change into a luggage carrier, and users could walk with it. When started, the roof transforms, turning into a motorbike. But its inventor doesnt think Tranfus will be on the market soon as some auto companies like it, but none are willing to invest. 74.

C) There are no auto companies offering to invest it.D) There are no auto companies showing interest in it. 79. The best title for the passage is _.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文):（共12分） Life is filled with challenges（挑战）. As we get older, we _80_ realize that those challenges are the very things that shape us and make us who we are. It is the same with the challenges that come with friendship.When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two choices. We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isnt worth the pain and then we give up. In fact sometimes we shouldnt give up. In most _81_ all that is needed is commitment（承诺）and communication.When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how painful or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to _82_ it instead of running away from it. Communication is making a space for discussion and talking about how you feel instead of just saying the other person did wrong. When you can say to a friend, “I got my feelings hurt.” _83_ “You hurt my feelings,” you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for what they are: small hurdles（困难）you need to jump or get through on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is _84_ to get over, and hurt only makes us stronger. It is all part of growing up, it happens to everyone, and some day you will _85_ all of this and say, “Although it was hard, it could make me who I am today. And thats a good thing.”80A) seem to B) come to C) hope to D) try to81A) cases B) fields C) parts D) friends82A) keep B) control C) face D) catch83A) other than B) rather than C) or rather D) instead84A) unnecessary B) necessary C) impossible D) possible85A) look down on B) look back on C)look forward to D) look up toC.
