    第三节：阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）
    请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
    Strong winds, sand in the air, poor visibility (能见度), we all know the characteristics of a sandstorm. But what else do you know about them?
    Did you know, for example, that the first sandstorm of 2009 hit north China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region late February?
    Sandstorms are today a feature of life in northern China because of desertification (沙漠化) and the retreat (退化) of the northern grasslands. They usually occur between February and May.
    Fortunately, sandstorms this year should be fewer than in past years in north China, according to the National Meteorological Center (中央气象台).
    And the chances of sandstorms hitting Beijing are small, because recent rain has stopped drought and reduced dry dirt and dust. Tree planting, and other measures taken by the government, has also helped decrease the chance of sandstorms in the city.
    Sandstorms can be dangerous. However, there are measures you can take to protect yourself from harm.
    ﹡Wear a mask. Cover your nose and mouth with a mask that can keep out sand, or use a damp handkerchief.
    ﹡If you are driving and the storm is at a distance, it may be possible to outrun (超过) it. If it looks like you will be caught in the storm, stop and wait it out.
    ﹡Take a cover. If there is no shelter, then lie down. Keep eyes, nose and mouth covered. Cover your head with your arms or a backpack to protect yourself against flying objects.
    If you are caught in a desert sandstorm, take the following actions.
    ﹡Mark your direction before lying down. It is easy to get lost in a desert.
    ﹡Keep plenty of water at hand. If you get lost, you need water to survive until you find your way or help arrives.
    ﹡Stay together if traveling in a group. Lock arms if caught in a sandstorm. The most useful measure would actually be to make sandstorms disappear forever. To make this goal come true, people should plant trees, and stop desertification.
    Today, the straight-line distance between Tiananmen Square and a desert called Tianmo in Hebei province is only about 80km. If desertification is not stopped, environmental protection experts say, it will probably not be long before Beijingers can catch a camel to work.
    56.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
    A. So far in 2009 no sandstorm has happened.
    B. Sandstorms usually happen in spring.
    C. Sandstorms are a feature of life in China.
    D. In sandstorms in cities, what you need to protect yourself from is just the sand in the air.
    57.Which may not be the right action to take to protect yourself from harm in a sandstorm?
    A. Finding a shelter.
    B. Covering your head with a bag.
    C. Lying down.
    D. When driving, speed up and rush through the sandstorm.
    58.What can we infer from the passage ?
    A. North China has been suffering from sandstorms for several years.
    B. The distance between Beijing and the desert has made the chances of sandstorms hitting Beijing small this year.
    C. Planting trees can help make sandstorms disappear.
    D. It is more dangerous to be caught in sandstorms in cities because there are more flying objects.
    59.What’s the best title of the passage?
    A. The realities of sandstorm                          B. The cause of sandstorm.
    C. The influences of sandstorm                       D. The future of sandstorm.

    Teaching my first child, Danae, to share her toys was the biggest challenge. To   36  this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Danae discover that it’s   37  to share with others – a lesson I needed to   38  myself as well, as it   39 .
    One evening Danac had   40 a friend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favorite was a children’s   41  game called Go Fish. That evening,   42  Natalie left, Danae came to me and said, “Mommy, I’d like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. They’re her favorites.”
    She help up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to   43  that I didn’t want her to give them away because then our   44  wouldn’t be complete. “But I really want her to have them!” Danae   45 . I thought perhaps she didn’t understand that when she gave something away, it was gone   46 . So I tried again, saying, “  47  you give the cards to her, you can’t   48 them back tomorrow.”
    A look of   49  came over Danae’s face. For a moment I was happy that she seemed to   50 . But then she smiled and said. “Well, that’s okay, I want her to have them anyway.”
    What could I say to that? I sat   51  for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to   52  her to share. Did it   53  that our Go Fish set would be   54 ? What mattered was that my daughter was learning the   55  of giving, that she was thinking about others instead of herself, and that she was trying to make her friends happy. Isn’t that what life is all about?

    B
    A sign is another kind of language. Here are some of them that you see on the roads.
    Number one is a sign with the number thirty on it. When drivers see this sign, they must not go at more than thirty kilometers an hour. We see this sign when we are getting near a town. Number two is a sign that we’re near a crossing. We must drive carefully. Number three is a sign that there is a bend in the road. Again, we must drive slowly and carefully. It is not safe to go round a bend very fast. Number four is a sign that there is another road coming in from the right. There is a junction at this place. Number five is a sign that there is a hill and number six is a sign that the road gets narrow. Drivers must go slowly and carefully. Number seven has the word “SCHOOL” on it. This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or the road. Perhaps there are children going to or leaving school. So drivers must look carefully and go slowly. Number eight is a sign with the letter “P” on it. The letter “P” means “Parking”. At some places, there’re the signs “No parking” or “No waiting”. If a driver leaves his car near one of these signs, a policeman may come and write down the number of his car.

    64. A driver can leave his car________.
    A. near Sign 8 at any time
    B. near a sign with “No parking” on it
    C. near a sign with “No waiting” if there’re no police there

    65. People put these signs on the roads to________.
    A. show drivers the way           B. stop cars going too fast

    Need more evidence that London is a serious coffee town? Mr. Davies is actually England’s third consecutive world barista champion. The first was James Hoffmann, who started Square Mile Coffee Roasters squaremilecoffee.com) in 2008 .It’s a small operation, recently relocated to an arched vault under some train tracks in East London.
    Today, Square Mile’s black bags of beans have become shorthand for quality. They supply beans to Moon Bar (3 Bateman Street; 44-20-7287-4796), just opened by the same team behind Flat White (17 Berwick Street; 44-20-7734-0370; flat-white.co.uk).
    Though it’s recently been co-opted(增加的) by chain stores, the “flat white” is also a symbol of serious coffee: it’s basically a cappuccino-size style— flat and white — a style imported from Australia (some say New Zealand) when a wave of baristas emigrated from those countries. (Australians and New Zealanders are to espresso what Russians are to chess: they’re just better at it.)
    Still, independent stores continue to appear in all corners of the city. Last year, the Espresso Room (31 Great Ormond Street; 44-20-7932-137-380; theespressoroom.com) opened in a truly tiny storefront. Yet the owner Ben Townsend manages to fit a Marzocco espresso machine, some benches and a case with pastries.
    And farther north in Islington, a bar called Tina, We Salute You (47 King Henry’s Walk; 44-20-3119-0047; tinawesaluteyou.com) opened last February. (According to the owners, the name comes from a daily greeting they give to a cheesecake portrait of a curvy subject named Tina.)
    45. How many bars are mentioned in the text?
    A. 4        B. 5.       C. 6      D. 7
    46. We can read in the passage that Square Mile Coffee Roasters is well-known for its________.
    A. milk    B. chess   C. beans   D. fruit
    47. According to the text, we know that________.
    A.UK is home to the flat-white.
    B. the flat-white is exported from Australia.
    C. chess is popular in Russia.
    D. you can find the flat-white only in the chain stores.
    48. The writer wrote this passage in order to tell us________.
    A. the meaning of   “flat white”.         B. London is famous for its history.
    C. the number of coffee bars in London    D. London is famous for its coffee bar.

    　　In ancient Japan, if you saved someone’s life, they would make it their duty to spend the rest of their life serving you. Nowadays, if you rescue someone’s story, he or she will feel the same kind of gratitude (感激).
    　　It happens all the time. Someone in a group is telling a story and, just before their big point, BOOM! There’s an interruption. Someone new joins the group, a waiter with a plate of biscuits comes over, or a baby starts crying. Suddenly everyone’s attention turns to the new arrival, the food on the plate, or the “charming” little child. Nobody is aware of the interruption — except the speaker. They forget all about the fact that the speaker hasn’t made his or her point.
    　　Or you’re all sitting around the living room and someone is telling a joke. Suddenly, just before their big punch line (妙语), little Johnny drops a dish or the phone rings. After the crash, everyone talks about little Johnny’s carelessness. After the call, the subject turns to the upcoming marriage or medical operation of the caller. Nobody remembers the great punch line got unfinished — except the joke teller. When it’s you entertaining everyone at a restaurant, have you ever noticed how you can almost set your clock by the waiter coming to take everyone’s order just before your funny punch line?
    　　Most joke and story tellers are too shy to say, after the interruption, “Now, as I was saying …” Instead, they’ll spend the rest of the evening feeling bad they didn’t get to finish. Here’s where you come in. Rescue them with the technique I call “Lend a Helping Tongue.”
    　　Watch the gratitude in the storyteller’s eyes as he stabilizes where his story sunk and he sails off again toward the center of attention. His expression and the appreciation of your consideration by the rest of the group are often reward enough. You are even more fortunate if you can rescue the story of someone who can hire you, promote you, buy from you, or otherwise lift your life. Big winners have excellent memories. When you do them subtle favors like Lend a Helping Tongue, they find a way to pay you back.
    　　53. Very often, a storyteller cannot make his point because _________.
    　　A. people are more interested in food than his story
    　　B. many guests bring their babies to the party
    　　C. he is interrupted by something unexpected
    　　D. his story is easily forgotten by the listeners
    　　54. From Paragraph 3, we know that when someone is telling a joke, _________.
    　　A. something bad will surely happen just before their punch line
    　　B. listeners’ attention is often drawn to something else
    　　C. the only person really interested in the joke is the joke teller
    　　D. the waiter knows when to take everyone’s order
    　　55. How can we help the joke and story tellers when they are interrupted?
    　　A. By giving them a chance to finish.
    　　B. By comforting them to make them happy.
    　　C. By going on telling the story for them.
    　　D. By teaching them some useful techniques.
    　　56. What is the text mainly about?
    　　A. People should learn how to take turns in a conversation.
    　　B. We can win someone’s heart by getting him back to his story.
    　　C. Telling jokes will make you the center of attention.
    　　D. It is impolite to cut in on someone’s talk.

    WHAT can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough．A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you’ll earn later．
    The idea that popularity could have a serious impact on one’s earning potential shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise．The researchers noted that if you want to get_ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work．
    “If a person has lots of friends, he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations,” said Xu Yan, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding．“Also, friends always help each other．They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed．” She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary”．
    Maybe that’s why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism （交友狂症）．A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook’s 5000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts．
    But Meghan Daum, who works with The Los Angeles Times in the US, disliked the idea that quantity trumps （胜过） quality in the age of Friendaholism．“Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing．” said Daum．She admitted that some Internet social networkers just want to get as many of not-really-friends as possible．Although she agreed that social ties grease （润滑） the wheels of life, she also warned, “Finding a real friend is something that really matters．”
    63．What CANNOT be learned about friends from the passage?
    A．They enlarge social circles for you．
    B．They offer encouragement when you are upset．
    C．Only talented friends help you to earn success．
    D．Friends enable you to overcome difficulties．
    64．In the age of Friendalholism, ________．
    A．there are networking websites to help people make friends
    B．a person with popularity is sure to enter a top university
    C．facebook helps social networkers make as many friends as possible
    D．there are always more not-really-friends than actual ones
    65．The underlined words probably mean ________．
    A．expect      B．struggle    C．graduate   D．succeed
    66．Meghan Daum holds the attitude towards making friends that ________．
    A．actual friends outweigh not-really-friends
    B．the more friends one has, the better
    C．friends can help make a big fortune
    D．social relations can hardly make one’s life better

    The job of raising children is a tough one. Children don’t come with an instruction manual(说明书). And each child is   36  . So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration(挫折),not   37  what to do. But in raising children—as in all of life—what we do is   38  by our culture. Naturally then, American parents teach their children basic American   39 .   To Americans, the goal of parents is to help children  40   on their own two feet. From  41   , each child may get his or her own room. As children grow, they get more   42 to make their own choices.  43  choose their own forms of entertainment, as well as the friends to   44  them with.

But once they “leave the   48 ” at around 18 to 21 years old, they want to be on their own, not “  49  to their mother’s apron strings (围裙带).   The relationship between parents and children in America is very informal.
