       Americans can travel almost anywhere they choose. But to protect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There, the traveller might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport（护照）.
    This passport is a government request for the safety of its travelling people. It is also a government’s pledge（保证） that the people will obey the rules of the host country（东道国）.
    To receive a passport from the government, a traveller must prove that he is an American citizen （公民）. An American can not go overseas（外国） without a passport. Only certain close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports.
    Pasted （粘贴）inside the passport is the traveller’s picture. Children travelling with their parents are included in one parent’s book.
    Thousands of people from the United States visit other countries every year. An American traveller might carry plane tickets, money, clothing and many other things. But the most important that he carries in another country is his passport.
    68. A passport is not needed when an American goes to ______.
    A. foreign countries   B. dangerous areas   C. Canada or Mexico   D. countries overseas
    69. From the passage we can see that ______.
    A. children can’t travel to foreign countries         B. Americans like to travel
    C. a traveller is not safe in most countries      D. Americans like to travel to close countries
    70. Why does a traveller need a passport?
    A. He needs something more to carry when he travels.
    B. It helps the country to protect the people.  C. He needs to have his picture taken more often.   
    D. It helps the traveller to know where he will go.

    It was my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and rehearsed (practiced) all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven’t lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It’s about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.
    No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all the curiosity my arrival aroused.
    My teacher was called Mr Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn’t stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens’ birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: “Timbuktu”, and Mr Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: “Portsmouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr Jones said I was right. This didn’t make me very popular, of course.
    “He thinks he’s clever,” I heard Brian say.
    After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian’s team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.
    “He’s big enough and useless enough,” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.
    I suppose Mr Jones remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty. As the boy kicked the ball hard along the ground to my right, I threw myself down instinctively and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were grazed and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.
    “Do you want to join my gang (team)?” he said.
    At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.
    51．The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT “________”.
    A. How old are you?                                                        B. where are you from?
    C. Do you want to join my gang?                                 D. When did you come back to London?
    52．We can learn from the passage that ________.
    A. boys were usually unfriendly to new students   
    B. the writer was not greeted as he expected
    C. Brian praised the writer for his cleverness
    D. the writer was glad to be a goalkeeper
    53．The underlined part “I didn’t stand out” in paragraph 3 means that the writer was not ________.
    A. noticeable                      B. welcome                         C. important                       D. outstanding
    54．The writer was offered a handkerchief because ________.
    A. he threw himself down and saved the goal         B. he pushed a player on the other team
    C. he was beginning to be accepted                           D. he was no longer a new comer

    第三部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
    第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
    　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    A
    　　Soon it may be harder to stop and smell the roses.
    　　Growing levels of air pollution from power plants and automobiles have reduced flower fragrances (芬芳) by up to 90 percent in the US.That is compared with pre-industrial levels,a new study has found.
    　　The trend is unpleasant for human noses,but may be life - threatening for bees and butterflies.
    　　"Many insects find flowers by folowing the scent(香味) produced by those flowers," said the studies lead author Jose D.Fuentes,an environmental scientist at the University of Virginia.
    　　"The increasing pollution makes it difficult for them to locate the flowers and feed on their nectar(花蜜)."
    　　Scientists have alrady known that flowers produce scent molecules(分子) that bond with pollutants.The process breaks down the plants' sweet smell.
    　　With more pollution in the air,the scent molecules don't remain effective as long and travel shorter distances on the wind.
    　　The new study suggests that in the mid - 19th century,when pollution levels were first recorded,scent molecules would have been able to travel some 1,000 to 1,200 meters.
    　　Today,in the polluted air found downwind of large cities,scentst may only make it some 200 to 300 meters.
    　　The report was recently published in the journal,Atmospheric Environment.
    　　Bee farmers have reported that bee populations are dropping dramatically in many parts of the world in recent years. Could these missing scents be a factor?
    　　Scientists trying to hind the cause of bee population declines have blamed bacteria,pesticides,and even cellphone radiation.
    　　Jay Evans,an entomologist(昆虫学者) at the US Department of Agriculture's bee research laboratory,was interested in the new study.But he says he hasn't seen bee behavior that suggests trouble with scents.
    　　"Over the last couple of summers I don't think the bees in this area were bringing in much less food,"he said.
    　　"It might be that they had to work harder,but it seems like as long as there were bees to collect food they were finding flowers somewhere."
    　　But Fuentes fears that the fading smell of flowers may stress insects that are already faced with other threats.
    　　"The effects shown in these studies will simply exacerbate whatever the bees are going through right now,"he said.
    　　"It's something that is really worthwhile paying attention to."
    　　56.What's the passage mainly about?
    　　　A.How greatly air plooution affects our lives.
    　　　B.Effects of air pollution on bee populations.
    　　　C.Measures to fight air pollution.
    　　　D.The rapid decline of bee populations in the world.
    　　57.According to the passage,Jay Evans probably agrees that ______ .
    　　　A.bees are the insect that suffers most from air pollution
    　　　B.bees are at risk of dying out owing to air pollution
    　　　C.the fading smell of flowers doesn't affect bees so greatly as was thought
    　　　D.as is often the case,bees fail to locate the flowers because of the missing scents
    　　58.The word"exacerbate" in the last paragraph but one probably means ______.
    　　　A.worsen B.improve C.get rid of D.decrease
    　　59.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    　　　A.The more air pollution there is in a region,the greater the destruction of the flower scents.
    　　　B.Bacteria,pesticides,and cellphone radiation are blamed for causing the decline of bees.
    　　　C.The scent molecules produced by flowers in a less polluted environment oculd travel longer and farther.
    　　　D.Air pollution does more harm to insects such as bees and butterflies than human beings.

    Every year, it costs British students more and more to attend university. Students are graduating with larger and larger debts. So is a college degree really worth it?
    In 2006, the UK government started to allow universities in England and Wales to charge British students tuition fees (学费). As a result, more than 80 percent of students in England and Wales now take out a student loan (贷款) in order to go to university.
    They use the loan to pay for tuition fees and living expenses. Although the interest on student loans is quite low, it begins as soon as the student receives the loan.
    The average student in England and Wales now graduates from university with a debt of around $12,000 (122,952yuan). It means graduates have to struggle to pay rent on a flat, because they have to start paying back the student loan when they reach the April after graduating. If you start to earn over $ 15,000 (153,639yuan) a year, the government takes repayments directly from your monthly salary.
    You might think that a person with a degree would find it easy to get a well-paid job. However, most people in “white collar jobs” seem to have a degree, so there is a lot of competition. Also, British companies tend to value work experience over a piece of paper.
    All of the above is beginning to make British people question whether a university degree is really worth the money. Even before the credit crisis started, the BBC stated: “The number of British students at UK universities has fallen for the first time in recent history, from 1.97 million in 2007 to 1.96 million last year (2008).”
    “Student poverty” is now considered a real problem. Meanwhile, the British universities offer more and more of the available places to richer international students rather than poorer British students. What does the future hold for British higher education?
    61. What makes British students question the worth of a university degree?
    A. Higher university expenses.                 B. Lower education quality.
    C. A higher interest rate on student loans         D. Grater difficulty obtaining student loans.
    62. According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A. University tuition fees in all parts of Britain have been on the rise since 2006.
    B. Interest on a student loan starts as soon as the student receives it.
    C. People have always questioned the worth of a university degree.
    D. University graduates need to pay off their loans right upon graduation.
    63. Which of the following is NOT a factor that concerns a British university graduate?
    A. Fierce competition in the job market.         B. The burden of a large debt.
    C. Lack of experience.                       D. Fewer job openings.
    64. What is the title of this passage?
    A. Student poverty                         B. Is college worth it?   
    C. The UK government started to charge students tuition fees.
    D. British students use the loan to pay for tuition fees and living expenses.

    C
    It is a lot of trouble to learn a new language. When we go to all that trouble, we certainly want to be understood. But understanding is based on more than speech. Sometimes misunderstanding comes not from the wrong words, but from the wrong style. In our own country, we learn the style for politeness. But this polite style may be misunderstood in another country. This can cause unexpected difficulties. Since you have spent so much effort learning this new language, it is sensible and practical to learn the politeness rules also. Even if you think some of the customs are foolish, learning them can help you to be clearly understood.
    In your country, is it considered polite to listen quietly to other people without any change of expression on the face? If this is the style you have learned, perhaps you should watch two Americans talking. Notice how the person who is listening will have frequent changes of expression. The listener may also make little remarks while the other person is talking. These little remarks may be one word, like “Really?” or they may just be a little sound, like “Uhhuh” or “Mmm.” This is the way American listeners show that they are listening in a friendly way. This is why Americans get uneasy when the listener is silent and shows no change of expression. In the American style of speaking, an unmoving face often means that the listener is unfriendly, or perhaps even angry.
    Sometimes people from two countries are uncomfortable with each other for very small reasons. Here is an example: Americans think that perspiration odor is not polite. In fact, they worry so much about this subject that they spend a great deal of money on deodorants (除臭剂) and dry cleaning and washing their clothes. If a foreign student does not follow the same rule, Americans may be disturbed and think the foreigner is not nice. The problem can be especially troublesome because Americans are so embarrassed about this subject that they do not even like to talk about it, so they are not likely to tell that person why they are uneasy.
    63. If you want to be clearly understood in another country, besides the language, you should also learn _________.
    A. its common knowledge     B. its style            C. its wrong words      D. how to make a speech
    64. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A. American listeners have frequent changes of expression.
    B. A foreign student may not get along well with Americans if he smells.
    C. An unmoving face and silence of listeners will make Americans feel unhappy.
    D. Making little remarks like “Really”, “Uhhuh” or “Mum” is impolite while listening to an American.
    65. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph probably means _________.
    A. an unpleasant smell                                     B. a good style of talking
    C. an unfriendly way                                   D. a polite expression
    66. What would be the best title for the passage?
    A. Learning a new language                  B. Different people, Different languages
    C. Body Language                                     D. Different Countries, Different Cultures

    D
    Having too much confidence is not good. And now, a new study has proved this by finding that overconfident teenage students can stunt crucial（决定性的）reading skills.
    The study shows a clear connection between overconfident students and low reading comprehension.
    “While some self-confidence is helpful, overconfident 15-year-olds are often below-average (平均水平) readers in all 34 countries we studied, ” says Ming Ming Chiu, the lead author of the study.
    “In contrast, under-confident 15-year-olds are more likely to be above-average readers in all 34 countries, ”the expert added.
    The difference lies in a student’s ability to exactly assess (估计) and evaluate his or her own reading level, according to Chiu. Those who can accurately assess their strengths and weaknesses are usually in a better position to identify realistic goals and achieve them.
    “If an overconfident student chooses a book that is too hard—such as The Lord of the Rings rather than Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone—he or she might stop reading after a few pages and let it sit on a bookshelf,”says Chiu.
    “In contrast, a more self-aware student is more likely to finish an easier book and continue reading more books, ”the expert added.
    67．The underlined word “stunt” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by          .
    A. improve                   B. help                         C. prevent                    D. find
    68．Which of the following is true?
    A. Under-confident 15-year-olds are less likely to be above-average readers.
    B. Overconfident 15-year-olds are often below-average readers.  
    C. Under-confident 15-year-olds are more likely to be below average readers.
    D. Overconfident 15-year-olds are often above-average readers.
    69．People who can exactly assess their strengths and weaknesses can          .
    A. choose a better book                                     B. gain more money
    C. have realistic goals and achieve them              D. have a great improvement in their marks
    70．A more self-aware student is more likely to          .
    A. stop reading after a few pages                       B. put the book on a bookshelf
    C. finish an easier book                                     D. write books
