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，从短文后所给各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Nine years ago, after Leo had died, people
said to me, “I never knew he was your stepfather”. You see, I
never call him that. At first, he was no one special in my life.
Then he became my friend. In time, I felt he was my father too.
Leo married my mother when I was eleven. Two
years later we moved into a house in a new suburban development,
where he put down roots. At first our lawn was just a mud
pile with wild grass, but Leo saw bright possibilities. “We
plant trees there to give us shade as well as some flowers”, he
said. And just these little touches made our lawn different from
all the others here. More important, a real family was forming.
Leo was becoming a full-time parent, and I was learning what it
meant to have a father.
Weekday morning when the weather was bad, Leo
often drove me to school. Having a father drop you off may have
been something my classmates took for granted, but I always
thought it was wonderful. Saturday mornings, we went to the
hardware shop, then stepped into the five-and-ten, buying a
sports magazine or something else. Some people might think that
doing shopping together is nothing special, but I, who had ever
before spent my childhood watching other families do their
everyday activities, experienced them now with extreme delight.
Looking back, I realize that Leo gave me what I needed most-the
experience of doing ordinary things together as a family.
Soon after we moved to the suburbs, one of
our new neighbors introduced herself to me. She had already met
my mother and Leo. “You know,” she said. “you look just like
your father”. I knew she was just making conversation-but even
so…
“Thank you,” I said. Why tell her anything different?
56．The
writer’s purpose in writing this passage is .
A．to
tell some unforgettable experiences
B．to
show how interesting a person Leo was
C．to
remind us of our parent
D．to
explain why they moved to the suburbs
57．Which
of the following can be used in place of “put down roots”?
A．settled
B．planted
C．farmed
D．worked
58．In
the writer’s opinion, .
A．it’s
not easy for stepfamilies to live together
B．not
all the stepfathers are as good as Leo
C．the
husband and wife must think more about their children before
they divorce
D．In
stepfamilies the love and friendship are extremely precious
59．When
he said “Why tell her anything different?” the writer meant that
.
A．he
should have told the truth
B．he
wouldn’t tell her the truth
C．he
wanted to tell her something that had nothing to do with Leo
D．he
wanted to keep silence whenever he met the neighbors
B
It is commonly believed that only rich
middle-aged businessmen suffer from stress. In fact anyone
become ill as a result of stress if they experience a lot of
worry over a long period and their health is not particularly
good. Stress can be a friend or an enemy; it can warn you that
you are under too much pressure and should change your way of
life. It can kill you if you don’t notice the warning signals.
Doctors agree that it is probably the biggest single cause of
illness in the western world.
When we are frightened and worried, our
bodies produce certain chemicals to help us fight what is
troubling us. Unfortunately these chemicals produce the energy
needed to run away fast from an object of fear, and in modern
life that’s often impossible. If we don’t use up these
chemicals, or if we produce too many of them, they may actually
harm us. The parts of the body that are most affected by stress
are the stomach, heart, skin, head and back. Stress can cause
car accidents, heart attacks, and alcoholism, and may even drive
people to suicide.
Our living and working conditions may put us
under stress. Overcrowding in large cities, traffic jams,
competition for jobs, uncertainty about the future, and big
change in our lives, may be stressful. Some British doctors have
pointed out that one of Britain’s worst flu waves came within
weeks of the country changing to decimal coinage (system of
money divided by tens and hundreds). Also if you have changed
jobs or moved houses in recent months you are more likely to
fall ill than if you haven’t. And more people commit suicide in
times of inflation.
As with all illnesses prevention is better
than cure, a very common danger signal is the inability to
relax. “When you are taking work home, when you can’t enjoy an
evening with friends, when you haven’t time for outdoor exercise—that
is the time to stop and ask yourself whether your present life
really suits you”, says one family doctor. “Then it’s time to
join a relaxation class, or take up dancing, painting or
gardening.”
60．Stress
can be a friend because it can .
A．be
a warning signal
B．produce
certain chemicals
C．make
us change our way of life
D．help
us fight what is troubling us
61．Which
is the following is true according to the passage?
A．Stress
is the biggest single cause of death.
B．Only
middle-aged businessmen suffer from stress.
C．Everyone
may suffer from stress under unfavourable living and working
conditions.
D．Stress
is caused by our running away from an object of fear.
62．The
warning signals of stress appear when you .
A．cannot
relax
B．join
a relaxation class
C．enjoy
an evening with your friends
D．find
that your present life suits you
63．All
of the following can help you to relax EXCEPT .
A．joining
a dancing class B．taking
work home

After almost 30 years of arguing that a black
hole swallows up everything that falls into it, British
astrophysicist（天体物理学家）Stephen
Hawking moved backward last week.
The world-famous author of “A Brief History
of Time” said he and other scientists had got it wrong.
“I’ve been thinking about this problem for
the last 30 years, and I think I now have the answer to it,”
said Hawking. “A black hole only appears to form but later opens
up and releases information about what fell inside. So we can be
sure of the past and can predict the future.”
The findings could help solve the “black hole
information paradox（似是而非的观点）”,
an important puzzle in modern physics.
A black hole is a region in space where
matter is under such pressure that not even light can escape
from its gravitational pull. But exactly what happens there has
long puzzled scientists.
Black holes occur when a massive star burns
up its nuclear fuel and gravity forces it to collapse in on
itself. The enormous weight of the star’s outer layers moves in
towards its core. The force of gravity keeps nearly all light
from escaping and nothing inside can be glimpsed from the
outside.
The star actually disappears from the
universe into a point of infinite density. That is a place where
the laws of general relativity that govern space and time break
down. Hawking has devoted most of his life to studying these
questions.
At the beginning, cosmologists
believed the holes were like a “cosmic vacuum cleaner”, sucking
up everything in their path.
Hawing revolutionized the study of black
holes when he proved, in 1976 that, under the strange rules of
quantum physics（量子物理）,when
black holes form, they send out energy and lose mass in the
process.
In thinking up this so-called “Hawking
radiation”, the Cambridge mathematician also created one of the
biggest puzzles in physics.
These particles, he said, contained no
information about what has been occurring inside the black hole,
or how it formed. Under his theory, once the black hole
disappears, all the information within it is lost.
68．What’s
the important of Hawking’s new findings?
A．They
could help solve the puzzle about black holes.
B．They
have solved the mystery of black holes.
C．We
can now know what is going on inside black holes.
D．Scientists
have already predicted the future of black holes now.
69．What’s
the meaning of the underlined word “cosmologist”?
A．a
person who studies the universe and its origin and development
B．a
person who studies the stars and their development
C．a
person who travels in a spacecraft
D．a
person who studies the position of the stars and the movements
of the planets
70．Which
of the following is true?
A．Hawking
has now studied the black holes for more than 40 years.
B．During
the course of the forming of black holes, the enormous weight of
the star’s core moves into the outer layers.
C．Almost
nothing can escape from the gravitational pull of the black
hole.
D．Scientists
have been thinking the black holes contain no information.
71．Which
is the best title of the passage?
A．The
formation of the Black Hole B．Black
Hole Information Paradox
C．Black
Hole Mystery D．The
Cause of the Black Hole

Sports Ease Moods
Beverley had been feeling dull, bored and a
bit of it. He mentioned his mood(state of mind) when going to
Andrew for a sports massage. He wondered whether he should take
up Tai Chi. But Andrew didn’t think so.
“Tai Chi is great for people who want to feel
grounded（根深蒂固的）,but
that isn’t your problem,” he said. “What you need is something
more exciting, like dancing.”
In future, therapist（理疗专家）may
well suggest that you fight your sadness with a course in
kickboxing, and family doctors might suggest that you take a
rest in the mountains instead.
We’ve long been aware that exercise has
benefits beyond the physical ones; that activity can relax you,
and help psychological well-being by reducing stress, anxiety
and sadness.
Now some trainers and sports psychologists
are going further and examining how to identify the correct
exercise for a client’s specific state of mind and personality.
Professor Stuart Biddle, an exercise and
sports psychologist based at Loughborough University, England,
had researched the effects of exercise on moods.
One of his findings was that, if your problem
is low self-esteem, weight training should be your bag. “Working
with weights builds strength,” he says, “and creates a stronger
body image.”
Anger management, meanwhile, demands bursts
of explosive activity, from sports such as boxing or tennis.
This is because anger makes the body release
adrenaline（肾上腺素）,
which causes heart rate and blood pressure to rise and muscles
to become tighter—the physiological changes required if you are
to defend yourself.
Research shows that the “punch-bag” method of
releasing disappointment and anger through hitting a boxing
opponent or tennis ball, can help with fighting issues.
They have also found that teamwork is good
for self-esteem and that those who are brought together to work
in a social setting become more lively.
Which type of exercise will best help is, of
course, down to the individual. Clearly, before you can find the
best physical activity for yourself, you have to know your
needs.
Ask yourself a few questions such as: What do
I need in my life? Which issues are difficult for me? Am I sad
or troubled? Only then can you decide whether you need taking
up, or taking down.
72．Why
did Andrew think Beverley shouldn’t take up Tai Chi?
A．because
Beverley was too weak.
B．because
Beverley was too foolish.
C．because
Beverley’s mind was out of control.
D．because
Beverley lacked activity.
73．Which
of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Psychologists
haven’t realized the relationship between exercise and health.
B．People
have already realized the relationship between exercise and
spirits.
C．Boxing
and tennis are the best ways to increase one’s self-esteem.
D．Trainers
and psychologists don’t agree with each other on exercise.
74．Professor
Stuart Biddle thinks that .
