三、阅读 (满分35分)
第一节 阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
　　It’s all about patience(耐性) really. 
　　Chinese walkers, who usually walk the red light together, may be surprised at recent research which showed that they are more patient than people abroad.
　　A study looked at more than 1,800 walkers at three busy Shanghai crossings(交叉路口). It found that an average Chinese walker ran out of patience at red lights after 90 seconds. But there’s an interesting fact: the average German’s endurance ability (耐性) was around 60 seconds while the British only 45 seconds and the American 40 seconds.
　　People will take no notice of the red lights when the waiting time exceeds (超过) their patience time. “A lot of Chinese traffic lights are car-friendly instead of walker-friendly,” said Ni Ying, who led the research team. As there are more and more car users in the city, city planners are giving them more convenience on the roads, according to her.
　　The study also found that at some crossings, walkers waited longer than 150 seconds, and at other crossings the wait could be as long as 200 seconds. However, most red lights abroad do not exceed 120 seconds.
　　The study suggested that planners should think about the walking pace of people from different age groups, especially middle-aged people and seniors, in order to make the roads more walker-friendly. But the city’s traffic police do not agree. They argue that the roads are built no just for the walkers, but also for cars. “To give more time for walkers would cut down the time for cars,” a traffic policeman said. “On a busy traffic day, it can make traffic problems.”
26. From Paragraph 4, we can know that Chinese walkers walk the red lights because ________.
A. they are less patient
B. they are not friendly to car users
C. there is often something wrong with the red lights
D the waiting time at the crossings is too long
27. How could roads become more friendly to walkers according to the study?
A. By taking away the traffic lights
B By making the roads wider and look nicer
C By changing the waiting time according to peoples walking pace
D. By stopping the middle-aged and old people from walking across the roads
28. Which of the following will the traffic police agree with?
A. It’s right to give more time to walkers
B Reducing time for car users will make traffic busier
C. More roads should be built to meet the need of different people
D. More people should be encouraged to walk instead of driving.

B

Your mother doesn’t remember this because she was so tired, but I will never forget it. You opened your mouth, and you gave a little laugh! That’s right, you laughed! And only then did you open your mouth wider to start crying like all the rest of the babies in the hospital. I hope you remember this story for the rest of your life, young man,” Grandma Rose continued. ”This is the beginning of your oral history! My present to you!”

People often think of the North Pole and the South Pole as similar frozen wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North is not so similar to the South Pole as people may imagine.
The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32℉, at which water turns into ice . Most of the time , it stays below zero . In winter temperature are usually as low as -30℉.
Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them .
There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems. very cold temperatures, sudden storms and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place .
People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.
33. According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago?
A. Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole.
B. Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32℉.
C. The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.
D. The North Pole changed into thick ice because of temperatures.
34. What does the underlined word “uninhabited” probably mean in Chinese?
A.气候恶劣的 B.充满危险的 C.困难重重的 D.无人居住的35. The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is
A. that the temperature suddenly drops.
B. that the ocean water under the ice moves.
C. that the water under the ice is frozen.
D. that the surface is covered with lots of ice.
36. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A . The thick ice in the North Pole.
B.A difficult trip to the North Pole.
C . The real situation in the North Pole .
D . The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole.

D
About 20 years ago, Nissan introduced the world’s first “talking car”. Actually, it was just a recorded voice and it wouldn’t stop telling you to close the door until you really heard and did it.
Times have changed and the talking car of the near future is a car that you can talk to, rather than a car that talks to you. You’ll be able to control your radio by giving voice orders. And you can get traffic reports or directions, and send or receive emails in the talking car. To do all these, you needn’t push a button at all.
This is good news for those who spend more and more of their lives in their cars. In fact, the new type of cars will be more like offices on wheels because it has computers, wireless internet and satellite radio inside. Companies are hoping that time wasted in traffic could be put to better use. If workers are able to check their emails, faxes, and meeting time on the way to work, they can spend more time at the offices doing more important tasks.
Microsoft, of course, is hoping that every one of those mobile offices will use Windows.”It’s a great goal.” says Dick Brass, VP of Microsoft’s automotive division (汽车分部).” But we’d like to have one of our operating systems in every car on earth.” There are already 650 million cars in the world, and every year about 50 million new cars roll off the production lines. If Brass’ wish came true, cars could become a bigger business for Microsoft than computers.
37. The underlined word “wireless” in the passage means __________.
A. 带线的 B. 无线的 C. 带电的 D. 无电的
38. What can you give if you want to control the radio of the new talking car?
A. Music B. Voice orders C. Light D. Energy
39. Companies may be happy with the new type of cars because __________.
A. their workers will get to the office earlier
B. much time will be wasted in traffic
C. their workers will check emails, faxes and meeting time at home
D. their workers will have more time to do more important work at the offices
40. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The new type of talking car will be more like offices.
B. The talking car of the near future is a car that talks to you.
C. All of the mobile offices will use Windows.
D. About 500 million new cars are produced every year.

How to lead a better life in the 21st century
Hello, everyone . My name is Lihua .Today I will make a speech about “How to lead a better life in the 21st century.” I think a better life attributes to two main parts, including mental and material factors. And mental factors always comes before the material ones. That’s because spirit is perpetual. Therefore, first, we need to nourish our mind through reading various kinds of books ,by which you can know more about the world. What’s more, developing good hobbies like taking exercises and traveling. Also,
56. respecting and understanding others helps you to lead a better life too .That’s because there is a saying goes that you will reap what you sow. Additionally, you need to attach more importance to physical and mental health. At least, you need to learn more knowledge like a new language which can help you learn about other cultures.
