The 36 of the famous fable of “The Tortoise and the Hare” is well known to all: the tortoise wins the race against the hare. The moral lesson is that 37 wins the race. We all have grown up with this popular 38 , but the same fable can be extended with different twists. At the 39 of the hare, a second race is arranged and this time, the hare runs without taking a 40 and wins. The moral lesson is that fast and 41 will always beat slow and steady. Then it is the tortoise that 42 the hare to a third race along a different route in which there is a river just before the final 43 . This time, the tortoise wins the race because the hare cannot 44 . The moral lesson is “First identify your 45 , and then change the playing field to suit them.” But the story continues. 46 competitors know their own drawbacks and limitations very well; 47 , they jointly decide to have one last race 48 to decide who the winner or loser is, but just for their own pleasure and satisfaction. The two cooperate as a 49 . Firstly, the hare carries the tortoise on its back to the river. 50 , the tortoise carries the hare and swims to the 51 bank of the river. Lastly, the hare carries the tortoise 52 on its back. Thus they reach the 53 line together. Overall, many moral lessons from the last match are highlighted. The most obvious one is the importance of 54 . Another moral which also means a great deal is “competition against situations 55 against rivals(对手).”36AtitleBideaCbeginning Dend37Aslow and steady Bkind and honest Cshort and fatDwise and diligent38AtrendBlessonCversionDissue39AsideBrequestCsightDorder40ArestBbathCguideDmap41AconfidentBconsiderateCconsistentDconservative42AchargesBcheersCchoosesDchallenges43AdepartureBdestinationCdesertDdilemma44AswimBclimbCjumpDdive45AdisadvantagesBfeelingsCstrengthsDinterests46AAllBNeitherCSomeDBoth47AotherwiseBthereforeCfinallyDgenerally48AnotBasCenoughDonly49AclassBresultCteamDrule50AAgainBThenCThereDHowever51AprettyBgreenCnearbyDopposite52AagainBawayCoverDup53AfishingBwaitingCfinishingDshipping54AhomeworkBteamworkChard workDnetwork55Abut alsoBas well asCmore thanDrather than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，进出最佳答案并将答案写在答题卡上。AEngineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But thats not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts（文科）university that doesnt even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who werent studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “factories” where they didnt care if you have values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist（人文学者）all in one.Now Im not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile（协调）engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply dont mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways; together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.56.

But the truth is that driving more slowly can help a person to avoid serious accidents.The following chart shows the distance that it takes to stop a car at a given speed. The distance is measured in feet. The shaded area shows the drivers thinking distance. Thats the distance it takes for the driver to react to a danger that he sees. The white area shows the cars braking distance. Thats the distance it takes for the car to stop once the brakes are used. The number at the top of each bar shows the total number of feet that it takes to stop the car.68According to the chart, what is the total number of feet needed to stop a car that is traveling at 50 miles per hour?A55. B73. C128. D183.69.What is the braking distance for a car that is traveling at 60 miles per hour?A66 feet. B119 feet. C185 feet. D251 feet.70Which of the following statements about braking and speed is true?AThe braking distance is what it takes for the driver to react to a danger that he sees.BThe speed of a car has a direct effect on the distance needed to stop the car.CThe braking distance increases only when a driver drives faster than 50 miles per hourDDriving slowly can help a person to avoid all accidents.E Is the woman pictured on the right more attractive than the woman on the left?The photograph on the right was changed using a new beauty making computer program, which uses a mathematical formula involving 234 measurements of distances between facial features to get a theoretically more attractive version, while keeping the basic appearance of the face unchanged. Unlike changes done in fashion magazine photos, wrinkles were not smoothed and hair color was not changed.The program is the latest attempt to combine beauty and science, a subject that has drawn increasing academic interest in the last decade.Studies have shown there is surprising agreement among people of different cultures about what makes a face attractive. Most important is symmetry (匀称), along with youthfulness, skin smoothness and vivid eyes and hair color. Yet, like the many other scientific or mathematical attempts to define beauty, this software program raises complex and difficult questions about the understanding of beauty.How can they prove something is more or less beautiful? said Lois Bann
