The favorite team in the four-man canoe 36 was the United States team. One member of that team was a young man named Bill Havens. As the 37 for the Olympics neared, it became clear that Bills wife would give 38 to their first child at about the same time, so Bill 39 himself in a dilemma（左右为难的困境）Should he go to Paris or should he stay at home with his family and 40 about the Olympics? After all, competing in the Olympics was one of his lifelong 41 .Bill, after a great deal of thinking, decided to withdraw from the competition. 42 it turned out, the United States four-man canoe team won the gold medal in Paris, and Bills wife was 43 in giving birth to their child. She was 44 late, in fact, that Bill could have 45 in the event and returned home in time. It was a shame, but Bill said that he had no 46 . Bill knew what was most important to him and he 47 what he believed was best. Not everybody has the 48 of character to say no to something that he or she 49 wants in order to say yes to something that truly 50 . There was a（n） 51 end to Bills story. The child 52 born to Bill and his wife was a boy whom they 53 Frank. Twenty-eight years later, in 1952, Bill 54 a telegram from Frank. It was sent from Helsinki, Finland, where the 1952 Olympics were being held. The telegram 55 :“Dad, I won. Im bringing home the gold medal you lost the chance to win while waiting for me to be born.”36AcontestBrace CsportsDgame37AyearBdeadlineCtimeDchance38AbirthBbabyChelpDhand39AfoundBputCthoughtDtrapped40AexpectBcompeteCcommentDforget41ApromisesBdreamsCjourneysDbusinesses42AWhatBAsCSoDThat43AearlyBluckyClateDmiserable44AveryBtooCsoDmuch45AtakenBfinishedCfoughtDcompeted46AregretsBadvantagesC.disappointmentsDchoices47AdidBpaidCmadeDlost48AoriginBstrengthCreasonDenergy49AapparentlyBtrulyCfinallyDseemingly50AwantsBneedsCvaluesDmatters51AexpectedBannoyingCinterestingDdisappointing52AeventuallyBfortunatelyCactuallyDinitially53AnamedBmarkedCexpectedDindicated54AsentBacceptedCmailedDreceived55AshowedBreadCtoldDnoted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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项AHave you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand. Often, explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power”.Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journal（日志） of your ideas the next time youre working on a big project, youll probably have more success.Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. Thats an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a friend about it, and you will understand it better. Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problemwhy you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and youre half-way there.Writers dont always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often, they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.56.What would be the best title for the passage?A. A Way on How to Write.B. Increase Your Brain Power Through Writing.C. Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing.D. How to Start Your Writing.57.According to the passage, writing can help you a lot EXCEPT_.A. to increase your brain power.B. to improve the ability to remember.C. to develop your interest in study.D. to strengthen the understanding of a topic.58.The underlined sentence “youre half-way there” in the fourth paragraph means that_.A. you are already successful .B. theres a long way for you to go to reach your goal.C. you are left wondering what to do .D. you have been on the way to success.59.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Writing can cure people of their brain disease.B. People who can keep all thoughts in mind are more likely to succeed.C. Writing a book about one topic is the only way to understand it.D. The more you write, the more logical you will be.B“You will remember this night forever,” he told me. My friend was taking me dumpster（垃圾桶）diving for the first time. We both needed costumes for a party so he decided to show me around a few of the citys finest waste baskets. After finding costume materials in the thrift shore（旧货店）dumpsters, we stopped at a grocery store. There we found a dumpster half filled with potatoes and bread. We collected bags of potatoes to share with friends and to use for cooking with Food Not Bombs (a group that shares free vegetarian food and speaks against war and poverty). I was later told that using the dumpsters could earn me the title of an urban pirate（海盗）- what a great honor!My first dumpster dive opened new doors for me. I had struggled with spending money. Now I think it will prove difficult to buy anything after seeing what people throw away. Something about all those wasted resources is not right. It seems we are constantly buying more and more and throwing away perfectly usable items, while many cannot meet their basic needs.People who have never done their shopping in a dumpster believe it is dirty, dangerous, and humiliating. In reality, a diver with an old pair of jeans, a flashlight and a little common sense (wear boots and gloves to guard against sharp objects) should not have any trouble staying safe and can feel good about being a resourceful and responsible consumer. Dumpstering is a good way to save money, labour, and lessen our environmental impact. From that dumpster tour, I had a new opinion on garbage. I found I can do something in this wasteful society. By living simply and taking what little I need from others unwanted goods, I am able to begin to break the habits of wastefulness. The influence of that first urban pirate adventure created a continuing impact on my life.60.What is the attitude of the author to the title of an urban pirate?A. Tolerant B. ProudC. RespectfulD. Humiliating61.“My first dumpster dive opened new doors for me.” means _.A. it has led to a better life for me and made me wealthierB. it has made me buy nothing later and break the habits of wastefulnessC. it has changed my views and attitudes to consumers and livingD. it has brought me good senses or be a responsible and a resourceful consumer62.The main idea of the third paragraph is _.A. only the poor goes in for dumpsteringB. how to keep safe while dumpsteringC. the benefit and value of dumpsteringD. how to save money and lessen environmental impact63.In the writers opinion, _.A. there are many objects to be recycled in the dumpsterB. there are too many people looking down upon the diversC. the title of an urban pirate is a prejudiceD. the influence of the first urban pirate adventure had an ill effect on his lifeCThe motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people just ordinary people acting carelessness, you might say. But it is a general truth both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse then ones actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence（疏忽）.Researchers have estimated（估计）that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be attributed（归结于）to the psychological condition of the drivers. Emotional upsets can distort（歪曲）drivers reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise clear. The experts warn that it is necessary for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep ones emotions under control. Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate（违反）traffic regulations, they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents, and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addiction, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.64.What is the authors main purpose in writing the passage?A. To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention.B. To improve understanding between careless drivers and street walkers.C. To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutions.D. To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving.65.According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as _.A. the destruction（毁灭）to mankindB. a general truthC. a social problem D. the legal right66.Who are NOT mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents?A. Careless bicycle-riders. B. Mindless people walking in the street.C. Irresponsible drivers D. Irresponsible manufactures of automobiles.67.Which of the following best reflects the authors attitude toward a future without traffic accident problems?A. Doubtful yet still longing for.B. Happy and rather confident.C. Surprised and very pleased.D. Disappointed and deeply worried.DA rise in the earths temperature could lead to an increase in the number of insects worldwide, with potentially serious consequence for humans.A new study shows that insect species living in warmer areas are more likely to undergo （经历）rapid population growth because they have higher metabolic（新陈代谢的） rates and reproduce more frequently.The finding has scientists concerned that global warming could give rise to more fast-growing insect population and that we could see it in the number of six-legged insects.The consequence could be more serious than just a few extra bug（昆虫） bites each summer . “If theyre crop species, we could count on needing to use more insect-killers and it could be very costly,” said Melanie Frazier, a doctoral student at the University of Washington. Insect-borne diseases are also a worry. Malaria）疟疾）, Lyme Disease and a host of others rely on insects to spread among humans,and an increase in their populations could mean more infections.Already, scientists have observed malarial zones with new cases appearing in areas unaffected before. The change is thought to be due to rising temperatures and an expansion of areas habitable for mosquitoes. The new research shows rising temperatures would mean insects would not only spread out, but also multiply（繁衍） more quickly.Still, Frazier says its too soon to predict which species will adapt and which might even face extinction（灭绝）. She looked at 65 insect species and found a correlation（依存关系） between warm climates and population growth across the boardbut, she warned, the scientists have no way of predicting which species will eventually adapt to new, warmer areas. We wont have to wait long to find out. Insects adapt quickly, so we will likely see changes within our lifetime.68.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Serious diseases are related to global warming.B. Global warming may increase insect population.C. Some insect species may be gone for ever.D. Many insect species will have to adapt to new environment.69.The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph probably refers to_.A. the rise in the earths temperatureB. the high metabolic rates of insectsC. the fast growth of the insect populationD. the number of the insects70.The fast-growing insect population will worry the farmers because_.A. some diseases will spread faster than beforeB. they may suffer from bug bites each summerC. the production cost may increaseD. some new diseases will appear71.We can learn from the passage that_.A. humans have started the fight against global warmingB. malaria hasnt been found in new areasC. the increasing population of insects wont cause more infectionsD. scientists can find out which insect species will adapt to warmer areas in the near futureE Technology is the application of knowledge to production. Thanks to modern technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force, New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall output. This has meant more production and a higher standard of living. For most of us in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food available to us. By means of modern farming machinery and animal breeding techniques, and has extended our life span via medical technology.Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics（统计）show that the United States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually（每年）into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce resources we may well find technological substitutes（代用品） for many of them through our research programs.Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production(land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills on techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. As equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. T
