三.阅读理解（共20小题；每小题２分，满分40分）

A

I’m a real book lover. Every time my friends visit me, my nose is buried in a book. Wherever I go, I always have a book with me. Novels, history books, stories about people, journals and news—I read them all and I’ve learnt a lot, too. For example, many things in life happen for the best even if we don’t like or understand them.

Why is reading such an enjoyable pastime for me? I probably first learned about it from my parents. My mother read to me at night in my childhood and bought me picture books. The greatest gift she has given me is a love for reading. And it will be a life-long habit.

No one ever asked me why I liked to read. They just saw me and asked, “Oh? Is that for school work?” And I just shook my head, “No. It’s just for fun.” While reading a good book, I can totally forget myself and fly to another world. It’s like exploring through someone’s eyes, which is just as exciting as watching a movie.

Reading is also necessary in order to learn about writing, to improve my use of words and phrases and broaden my knowledge. What a pity to see our imagination disappear, for we don’t exercise it often. Reading can even be good for one’s health, I think. Everyone should read sad stories that make us cry and also books with humor that make us laugh out loud!

36. Among the gifts my parents have given me, which is the most valuable one?

A. A love for reading.B. Picture books.

C. Good health.D. A lovable pastime.

37. In the fourth paragraph, the author thinks reading can ____.

A. make his parents happyB. finish his school work

C. improve writing and broaden knowledgeD. help him understand some movies

38. If we don’t use our imagination often, ____.

A. it is bad for our healthB. we will soon learn how to write

C. it will help us to have a good restD. it will soon disappear

39. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Why do I have few friends?B. What are my life habits?

C. Why do I love reading?D. Why do things happen for the best?

B

I believe children have a very pure sense of humor. Well, I would like to share my experiences with you.

The other day when I was out with a friend and her daughter Jane at a restaurant, Jane ordered an apple dessert, which was the most attractive dish in that restaurant. However, when she had a bite of the pie, she shouted loudly, “Mom, why does it look good but tastes like rubber?” My friend was uneasy. Then the waiter gave us another dish.

A child can say funny things. I was at a friend’s home for tea and her son, Mark, wanted her to get up. His mom replied, “I can’t, because my foot has fallen asleep now.” Little Mark then sang a song and asked, “Mom, will it wake up now?” We laughed together.

The other day we were having an interesting conversation over lunch and my friend, an animal activist (积极分子) , was arguing with another group member. Her son Tommy suddenly stood up, “Mom, people should never be allowed to shoot extinct(灭绝的) animals!” That was funny and the child did manage to turn the argument into a pleasant conversation.

Well, children sometimes really surprise us. I think we can have a lot to learn from them. They can help us understand the simple world through their eyes.

40. Why did Jane shout loudly in the restaurant?

A. She wanted to make us laugh. B. She thought her dish was attractive.

C. She wanted another piece of dessert. D. She didn’t like the flavor of her food.

41. Why did Mark try to sing a song?

A. He wanted to help his mother fall asleep.

B. He was trying to wake up his mother’s foot.

C. He wanted to get some tea to drink.

D. He would like to get some attention.

1. What Tommy said made the whole group ____.
   1. have a pleasant conversation B. stop their conversation
      C. all argue with him at once D. stand up and laugh happily
      43. The author ____ to show how lovely children are.
      A. points out differences B. gives live examples
      C. explains the causes D. lists common numbers
      C
      Atelescope (望远镜), called Gaia, is being designed by astronomers in Europe, and it couldn’t be more different from Pan-STARRS, which is another telescope being designed. While Pan-STARRS will be looking for asteroids (小行星) and comets headed for Earth, Gaia will be looking at our entiregalaxy(银河系).
      Gaia is designed to draw a map of the Milky Way, our home galaxy. Just as a map of your town gives you a picture of where things are located, Gaia’s map of the galaxy will tell astronomers where the stars are. Over five years, Gaia will observe (观察) about a billion stars and other objects in our galaxy. Each object will be observed about 70 times.
      Gaia will be sent into space connected to a rocket. It contains two telescopes, each focused at a different angle(角度). These two telescopes act like Gaia’s “eyes”. The reason why humans can see things in 3D is that we have two eyes focused on the same object, at slightly different angles. By using two telescopes like eyes, Gaia can produce the first 3D map of the positions of the stars it views.
      Gaia, which is to be sent into space in 2011, will be a powerful telescope. If you were to use it on Earth, for example, you could stand 600 miles away from your best friends and still get a clear picture of their hair.
      Gaia is one of more than a dozen telescopes being designed by scientists right now. The next generation of telescopes will reveal new parts ofour universe that will seem surprising. The universe, with all its planets, stars and other strange objects, is a puzzle with pieces that we can see by using powerful telescopes.
      44. How many different angles can Gaia focus at each time?
      1. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.
         45. The map to be drawn by Gaia ______.
         A. can show every building on Earth
         B. can show you where your town is
         C. will just show the stars around Earth
         D. will show where the stars are in our home galaxy
         46. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
         1. What Gaia will do in space.B. When Gaia will start to work.

C. How powerful Gaia will be.D. What Gaia will do to Earth.

47. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests that the next generation of telescopes _______.

A. seem very surprising to scientists

B. will not be put into use in a short time

C. will just look at new things in universe

D. will be more powerful than the old generations

D

It was dark. As John was walking on his way home, he suddenly found an ugly old man staring at him.

The old man said, “Son, why don’t you get a book? It will keep you company.”

John noticed all the books the old man had were related to the super nature (超自然界). Trying to act bravely, he found one and the old man said, “That’s an interesting book. It’s $25.”

The old man kept staring at John, which almost frightened him. He quickly searched his pockets and found $25.

John quickly paid for it. Then the old man called out, “Whatever happens, don’t turn to the last page. Do remember, or you will regret it!”

Reaching home, John heard his parents talking about a strange old book seller that appeared only at night during a full moon and then disappeared. Nervously, he ran straight to his room.

At midnight, as he was sound asleep in bed, a blast (股) of cold wind blew in through the window and woke him up. He looked at his table and saw the book. For a while, he was frozen in fear, but he was so curious. Slowly he got out of bed and carefully picked up the book.

As he took a look at the last page, he cried out and fainted(晕倒).

This is what he read on the last page!

Retail (零售) Price: $10.99
Promotional (促销) Price: $2.99

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。请将51-55题答案涂在答题卡第71-75题的位置上

Planning before buying something is a good idea. For example, you are going to buy a pet dog, you still have to consider a few things and plan them well before you welcome it in the house. 51 You will also have to train it well so that it does not misbehave in front of people. You should realize that it is a big responsibility.

52 Think about whether your pocket can manage the purchase, as well as different items for keeping the dog. If something goes wrong with the health of your pet, you will have to spend some extra money on it.

The next thing you need to consider is your home. 53 You will also have to consider the family members. If your living place is already too crowded with people, getting a dog as an additional member of the house will not be a good idea.

54 Make sure nobody is allergic (过敏的) to the fur of the dog. Also make sure that you can easily find time to train the dog. Ensure that your family is welcoming to this idea.

55 When you are bringing this best friend in your house, you must make sure everything is right for it. You should make life easier for it, as well as others who are living in your house.
