   第三部分　阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
   第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑.
   A
   I am sure we’ve all come across inspiring quotes that made us nod in agreement or made us think, “Wow, that’s good quote”. But we end up going back to procrastinating (拖延) on whatever it was we were procrastinating on. So are these inspirational quotes even worth reading? Well, that depends.
   Quotes, books, articles, audio programs… all of these things are just tools and they’re only effective when you use them. I don’t know about you but most quotes I read don’t do anything for me. However, every now and then, I will come across one that will positively affect me in some way such as reminding me to be grateful, getting me to work out extra hard at the gym without being pressed by my wife, or never give up when things get tough.
   From my experience, reading quotes is more effective when you’re actually trying to motivate yourself rather than just reading them for the sake of reading them. The second you feel the urge to take action, you’d better immediately get up off your chair and take action.
   These quotes aren’t for everyone. If you have read tons of them and have never been motivated or had a positive change in the way you look at life or how you treat others, or these quotes don’t help you to insist on doing something when you feel like giving up on it, then it’s probably not worth your time reading more of them. If you have done something a bunch of times and it’s not giving you the results you want, don’t keep doing it. Try something else.
   Now if you’ve found some value in reading these quotes in the past, continue to make them more effective by letting them guide your life.
   I’ll end this text with one of my favorite quotes, which reminds me to constantly examine my habits. “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”---- Aristotle
   61. What attitude does the author have towards most quotes he has read?
   A. Negative B. grateful C. Doubtful D. Interested
   62. What does the author’s wife expect him to do?
   A. To be grateful for life. B. To exercise at the gym
   C. To do extra work at home D. To read more inspiring quotes
   63. For whom will the quotes be effective according to the author?
   A. those who read them carefully
   B. Those who lack practical tools in life
   C. Those who have no one to turn to for help
   D. Those who take immediate action after reading them
   64. In Paragraph 4 the author stressed that_________________.
   A. reading quotes is worthwhile
   B. reading quotes will make you different
   C. you can stop reading a quote when you are busy
   D. you can stop reading a quote if it doesn’t benefit you
   65. What is the purpose of the passage?
   A. to persuade people not to waste time on quotes.
   B. to explain how to make inspiring quotes effective.
   C. to encourage people to read more inspiring quotes.
   D. to give people advice on how to choose useful quote.
   B
   Have you seen a historical film recently? Do you think it was accurate? Some say that there is no such thing as a historical film. In many cases, Hollywood film-makers simply change the facts. Just look at these supposedly “historical” films.
   1. The Patriot
      The film was released in 2000 and was directed by Ronald Emmerish and starred Mel Gibson. It is set near Charleston, South Carolina, during the American Revolutionary War(1775—1783) and follows the story of Benjamin Martin and his fight for American freedom against the British. The film was criticized for inventing and exaggerating British cruelty. The most criticized scene was one showing the burning of a church containing people of the town, of which there is no historical record. Another historical inaccuracy was the description of American-owned slaves being freed to serve with the American forces. In reality, many slaves ran away from their American owners and fought with the British against the Americans.
   2. Brave Heart
      The film(1995) starred Mel Gibson was directed by Toby Reisz. It is based on the life of Scottish national hero William Wallace and his fight against English rule in Scotland during the 13^th century. The film includes an affair between William Wallace and Princess Isabella (based on Isabella of France). The film implies she is a mother-to-be when William Wallace will be killed. However, historically, the real Isabella was a child of nine still living in France at this time, never having met Wallace. The film also caused controversy because of its anti-English nature. Apparently, when the film was shown in Glasgow, there was a loud noise made by happy American audience.
   3. U-571
      This 2000 film was directed by Jonathan Mostow and starred Mathew MacConaughey, Havey Keitel and Jon Bon Jovi. It took place during the Second World War(1939—1945). In the film, a German submarine(warship underwater) is boarded in 1942 by American soldiers who made themselves up as Germans. They took away the German submarine’s code-language machine, which, in the film, helps the Americans get many secret messages from Germany. However, the film was heavily criticized because it was actually the British who got the machine in May 1941 when they boarded U-110. The movie was also criticized for showing a scene where the U-boat sailors killed American sailors in the water after their ship sunk, which is, in 99% cases, impossible to happen.
   4. The 300 Spartans
      The latest controversy surrounds the film The 300 Spartans. The film (directed by Zack Synder) tells the story of the battle between the Greeks and Persians in 480 BC. It is regarded as a key event in the birth of western democracy(民主) by some historians. In the film, 300 Spartans under the king fight against the enemies, 120,000 Persians led by Emperor Xerxes. The tiny Spartan forces repeatedly gain advantage over the invaders. These actions delays the Persians’ attack and gives the Greek armies enough time to prepare for the defense of Athens. But the Iranians (modern-day Persians) aren’t happy with the film. They say the film describes them as savage, killing-loving, and war-loving.
      66. This article mainly _____.

      praises four “historical” films B. shares with us four great movies

      C. tells the readers about the inaccuracy of four “historical” films

      D. expresses the writer’s positive attitude towards the “historical” films

      67. As far as time is concerned, the war in _____ broke out earliest.

      The 300 Spartans	B. U-571

      The Brave Heart and U-571	B. The Patriot and Brave Heart
      C. The 300 Spartans and Brave Heart	D. The Patriot and The 300 Spartans

      69. The passage probably comes from a(n)_____.

      film poster	B. fashion magazine
      C. film review	D. tour guide

      C
      Many science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or e-DNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare or invasive species, study bio-diversity or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.
      Ryan Kelly is an ecologist at the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs at the University of Washington in Seattle. He works in a laboratory there with other researchers. They study the genetic material released by living creatures. “Essentially we can take a sample of soil or air — and in our case — water, and we can sequence（to arrange the order of genes）the DNA out of it and tell you what is there.”
      Ryan Kelly says he and his research team are studying water samples collected from Puget Sound. He says the cost of gene sequencing has “been reduced greatly in recent years.” That makes DNA testing more widely available.
      Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature.
      Caren Goldberg heads the new e-DNA lab at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. She is one of the first biologists in the northwestern United States to take the technology from the testing phase to actually using it.
      “It is extremely useful for species that are really hard to find. I have spent many hours looking for species that I was pretty sure were there — looking under rocks, looking in water, doing all kinds of surveys.”
      Caren Goldberg sees e-DNA as a way to get answers more efficiently, safely and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on diving deep, netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish.
      “We’re absolutely at this point where proof-of-concept has been established. I don't think everyone necessarily is ready for it yet, but I think the majority of people are.”
      This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the e-DNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One researcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden tree-frogs. And in Madagascar, it is being used to identify amphibian diseases.
      Ms. Goldberg has used e-DNA testing to confirm the local extinction, disappearance, of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mud-snail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state.
      Now, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management wants Caren Goldberg to look for the Columbia spotted frog in two other western states. The rare amphibian is a candidate for the federal government's threatened species list.
      Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.
      A related research goal is to show how long environmental DNA can last and how far it can travel in different environments.
      70. Paragraph One is intended as _____ of the passage.

      the main idea	B. the introduction of the topic
      C. a supporting detail of the main idea	D. a contrast of the main idea

      71. What has made E-DNA magic is that with E-DNA_____.
      A. you are likely to find information about a species with a little air, water, or soil
      B. some kind of high-tech device can be used to test for breathable air or signs of life
      C. you are able to get answers more efficiently, safely though with more damage
      D. the cost of gene sequencing has been reduced greatly in recent years.
      72. So far, the technique of E-DNA has NOT helped scientists search for ______.

      wild Yangtze giant soft-shell turtles	B. endangered golden tree-frogs
      C. the local extinction of a leopard frog	D. the spread of the New Zealand mud-snail

      73. Despites its advantage, we are still not sure of something about E-DNA. That is _____ .
      A. the lasting time and the spreading area of E-DNA
      B .the lasting time of E-DNA and too many species for E-DNA
      C. too many candidates for E-DNA and the lasting time of E-DNA
      D. robots and old-fashioned field work’s replacing E-DNA
      74. The passage can be sorted as a(n) _____.

      science fiction	B. experiment report
      C. science report	D. bio-diversity discovery

      Ｄ
      For years I fought with the bird's nest that sat on top of my head-my Medusa（神话中的蛇发女妖） hair．No matter what I did and how hard I tried, in no way could I make my unruly （乱蓬蓬）hair to my satisfaction．
      Growing up in a Russian-Jewish home with parents who thought North American styling products were something illegal such as drugs, I was never allowed to put them in my hair. “Why buy hair gel? Your hair is so beautiful naturally.” my mother would say．The teens at school did not agree．From boys’ not wanting to kiss me when we played spin the bottle in Grade 7 to being called the mop, I suffered from my hair．
      When I got to university, I believed my hair was a wall that stood between me and everything---finding a part-time job, getting a boyfriend, etc．
      If only I could find a way to manage the curls and put it behind bars, I told myself, I would feel secure and sexy．I tried everything: rollers, hairspray, gels and, at one point, an iron．Then, in my second year, a miracle happened．I was asked to be a hair model for Japanese hair straightening, a process by which the molecules（分子）of my curls would be broken and reset in a bone-straight position．I was the perfect candidate, the hairdresser told me．Although they said how hair relaxing could damage the scalp (头皮), for the next five years I didn't find them to be true. All of the hairdresser’s promises were fulfilled: With my hair straight and smooth, I was no longer the “ mop”．
      However, there was extreme damage done to my wallet. To keep up the straightening cost $ 700 every six months, and that was considered cheap. While some people thought I was crazy, I was willing to do anything to never again feel like that anxious, curly-headed girl in Grade 7．But when I moved out of my parents’ house at age 26 and rented an apartment, the upkeep of my new image became too costly．
      I couldn’t hide from my inner Medusa any longer．It was time to hug her and let her fly．Seeking a choice, I turned to the Internet, Google．After hours of searching, I hit upon a “curly haired” salon, a place designed for girls like me. I doubted these so-called “Curl Ambassadors” could do anything without using machine of some sort, and though I bought the service called the “Curly-Doo”, I suspected I'd have the same unruly mop at the end of the appointment．
      I dragged my feet so hard getting there that I arrived 45 minutes late．I secretly hoped they would turn me away．Instead, my stylist simply said: “You are very late．Let me see your hair”. At that moment, my world and beliefs about myself were turned upside down along with my hair. As my head was in a basin full of freezing-cold water, then covered with a jelly-like jam, I wondered what I had got myself into．
      “Do you really think this will work?” I asked the stylist, Jones．“ My curls are a disaster．” “No curly hair is hopeless,” she replied．“They just haven't found a way to work with it, that's all.”
      After the hour was over, Jones had completed her work．She had styled my hair using only her hands, water and a mixture of organic jam．I couldn't believe what I was seeing in the mirror: a naturally curly, Medusa-free me．You could argue that hair is just hair. Yet, it is just such physical features that have such a large influence on how we view ourselves．
      According to Jones,75 percent of the population have a wave or curl in their hair and don't know what to do with it．Men cut theirs short．Women flat-iron theirs to death．When I read through a beauty magazine or take the subway to work, it makes me sad to see so many people repressing their natural beauty．
      Since then, my world has changed．I have always been outgoing, but these days I seem to be more outspoken and confident than ever．On top of that, friends and co-workers tell me I am looking better than ever, but they don't know the source of the change．
      I don't need to tell them. My Medusa hair speaks for herself．
      75．What can we learn about the writer’s hair in the first place?
      A. Her parents considered it was bird’s nest．
      B. Teens at school laughed at it as Medusa hair．
      C. She hated it because it couldn’t be straightened．
      D. North American styling products harmed her hair．
      76．Japanese hair straightening caused a problem for the writer that ．
      A．her wish to feel secure and sexy didn’t come true
      B．her hair was seriously damaged after the straightening
      C．the cost to keep her hair straight was too high for her
      D．she was called “the mop” with her hair straight and smooth
      77．The writer was when she went to the “curly haired” salon．
      A．hesitatedB．excitedC．disappointed D．determined
      78．What was the reaction of the stylist in the salon when she saw the writer?
      A．She was very angry because the writer was late．

      For this part of “Tips for Applying to US Colleges” we visited Shenandoah University in the US state of Virginia. It is a private institution with about 4,000 students from 55 countries. We asked them some of questions about adapting to American culture and writing admissions essays.
      1. How can I succeed in applying to American colleges?
      2. What advice do you have for writing an admission essay?
      3. Why should I study abroad?
      4. What are some difficulties students have adapting to US culture?
      5. What about religious life on campus?
      6. What are some academic difficulties foreign students face?

I think everyone should travel and live and work and study abroad. I think it’s great for a lot of reasons. One—of course you’re going to learn something about other people. And that’s good, we should know about other people because we live in what is called a “globalized world.” More importantly, you’re going to learn something about yourself. You’re going to learn about how strong you really are. You’re going to learn that you have capabilities that you never knew you had. When you’re in another place and maybe you don’t even speak the language very well, you’re gonna find that you still figure a way to communicate. Maybe you can do something even bigger and even more, a little more challenging.

82. _______________

Students often misunderstand policies that we have here. And I think sometimes that can get students into trouble. I think we have had some issues with students who have worked a little too closely together for our professors’ level, and so that has created some challenges at times for those students. In terms of that, kind of, power structure between a professor and a student here, I would say our environment, our culture here at Shenandoah, there’s not a whole lot of that. I mean it’s very much of an environment where that sort-of barrier between professor and student is a little less than what it might be the case at other institutions. So that part of it is not as much of an issue.

83. _______________

I would say the important thing is to also be authentic. Be yourself. Most students are reading a lot of essays and after a while they start to kind of sound the same. And so you want to give that person the curiosity to know you. And you’re special. You’re different than everybody else that’s applying. So, I think if you can try your best. Of course, there are things you think, “I need to say these things because that’s what they want to hear.” Certainly if there are topics that they are asking you to respond to, you want to do that. But, to try as much as you can to give the person who’s reading your essay an idea of who you are and what makes you unique. I think that would be my main advice.

84. _______________

We are open to all religions, of all backgrounds. I mean we have a Catholic campus ministry, we have a Muslim student association, and we have a Jewish student association. We really do aim to be inclusive of all students regardless of their religious beliefs. Students certainly feel included, they certainly feel comfortable being here, you know, they’re—regardless of whatever their religious beliefs might be and even if that’s—even if they don’t have any religious beliefs. We certainly have students who are that way too.

85. _______________

A lot of it breaks down to different communication styles. Some are what we would call “high context cultures.” It means that you shouldn’t have to say what the problems is. Some cultures like American culture is very low context. We expect you say exactly what you mean. And if you didn’t say it, we probably don’t know it’s a problem. So sometime we—I have seen some students maybe have some roommate issues because the international student is upset with something and they assume the roommate must know that they’re upset. But the roommate—the American roommate—maybe doesn’t even know that it’s a problem. And one of the things I would caution new international students is that it's kind of an American way to be very open and friendly with everyone.

Miss Cooper was a teacher works at a school for boys and girls. She taught the chemistry for all the students from different grade in the school. Sometimes the new classes learned rapidly, but sometimes they were slowly. One day, one of the classes has been studying for minutes while Miss Cooper suddenly asked, “What is water?” Luckily, nobody could answer the question, so Miss Cooper felt sad. The moment Danny, who was not one of the brightest boys in the class, raised hand, Miss Cooper said in an exciting voice, “Please, Danny!”

“Water is a liquid what has no color until you wash your hands in it, then it turns grey,” replied the boy.

Ladies and gentlemen,

It’s my honor to give a speech here. In my opinion, this proverb means we can make things easier by working with others. It reveals the significance of cooperation.

Take my experience as an example. Once we were given quite a complicated physics problem by our teacher and were expected to work it out whatever the way was. Naturally, everyone in our class was eager to be the first one to solve it. Considering that I was very good at identifying the physical principles and my friend Joe was better at performing complex calculations, we decided to work together. Magically, we solved the problem efficiently and even were better than the top student who chose to work alone.

This experience really impressed me a lot. So always keep in mind that cooperation not only contributes to greater working efficiency but also explore our potential.

Thank you!
