    What’s the writer’s attitude to the drugs mentioned in the passage?A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. BI am a person who does not like to wait in line. However, I realize anger will get me nowhere. Considering this, I have decided to turn my frustration to productive ends. In short, I am constantly hunting around for what I call “waiting in line books , especially those that are designed for being read in snippets, so there is no extended story line to lose track of. Another requirement is that they be small enough to slip neatly into my back pocket.The other day I went to the supermarket and was surprised to see that the place was crowded with shoppers, but no worries. I parked my cart behind five others and pulled out my vocabulary builder. Within a few seconds I was totally absorbed, and rather than seething at the 15 minutes it took to advance to the cashier, I learned that nankeen is “a yellow cotton cloth , or, in the plural, “trousers made of it . The acquisition of new words led me into a place where I would otherwise not have enjoyed myself so much.Once, at a yard sale, I found two small pocket books titled Sidelights on American History . The seller approached as I looked through the pages. “You want them? “First I need to see if they fit, I told him. He watched as I slipped Volume 1 into my back pocket. “Perfect. I’ll take them. 10 minutes later, I was at the carwash, where the waiting line was six vehicles long. Thank goodness for my books! By the time my car was being soaped and power sprayed, I had learned about the Annapolis Convention, the early life of Aaron Bur.The more the world demands that I wait, the more I learn from my waiting library. In fact, I have become so fond of my “waiting books that my spirits actually rise when I see a long line I must stand in. It is most likely I would be regarded as a bookish, lonely soul. But little would they realize that I was enjoying the company of those “waiting books. And just as Disraeli said, “Everything comes if a man will only wait . 【查看更多】

    第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
    请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    A
    Around the age of 40, honest people may already admit to noticing changes in their mental abilities. This is the beginning of a gradual decline that in all too many of us will end with full-blown dementia(痴呆).
    However, a few drugs that might do the job, known as “cognitive enhancement(认知增强)”, are already on the market, and a few dozen others are on the way. Perhaps the best-known is modafinil. Licensed to treat narcolepsy, the condition that causes people to suddenly fall asleep, it has notable effects in healthy people too. Modafinil can keep a person awake and his or her attention fixed for 90 hours straight, with none of anxiety, nervousness and bad concentration. In fact, with the help of modafinil, people who can hardly go to sleep can perform even better than their well-rested, un-medicated(未服药的) selves.
    It’s an open secret that many, perhaps most, prescriptions for modafinil are written not for people who suffer from narcolepsy, but for those who simply want to stay awake. Similarly, many people are using Ritalin not because they suffer from attention problem or any other disorder, but because they want superior concentration during exams or heavy-duty activities.
    Some drugs have also been specially designed to improve memory. Many of these seem to work, and without any major side effects. So why aren’t we all on cognitive enhancers already?
    “We need to be careful what we wish for,” says Daniele Piomelli at the University of California at Irvine. Repairing and improving memory may have unwanted effects, he warns. “Eventually we may end up remembering things we don’t want to.”
    56. According to the message, we can learn that originally modafinil is a drug designed for _____.
    A. for both healthy and unhealthy people
    B. the treatment of dementia
    C. people who can hardly go to sleep
    D. those suffering from falling asleep suddenly
    57. The passage mainly talks about _____.
    A. dementia—a threat to the old people                     B. modafinil—a nice drug for dementia
    C. relevant drugs to a better brain                      D. cognitive enhancement
    58. The underlined sentences in paragraph two wants to tell us that _____.
    A. without modafinil people suffering from sleep problems cannot rest well
    B. people lacking sleep can work better than they are in a healthy state if taking modafinil
    C. modafinil has greater effects on healthy people if they take it
    D. with modafinil people suffering from narcolepsy can fall asleep easily
    59. What’s the writer’s attitude to the drugs mentioned in the passage?
    A. Positive.    B. Negative.    C. Objective(客观的).   D. Doubtful.

    Dear Mr. Wang,

    Thank you for taking your time to read my letter. 

    My name is Wang Lin. I was born in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province in February 1988. Now I’m studying in the Foreign Languages College, Yangzhou University. As an open-minded young man, I’m good at communicating with people. English is my favorite subject. In 2007, I won the first prize in the National English Speech Contest. And in 2008 I worked as a volunteer in the Beijing Olympics, which helps me accumulate enough working experience.

        With the approach of the 2010 World Expo, I’d like very much to be a volunteer. Above all, I like meeting people from all over the world and making friends with them. Besides, I have such a rich knowledge about Chinese history that I can introduce them to our splendid culture. I’m sure I’ll serve the guests with enthusiasm. To sum up, I believe I can be a qualified volunteer. 

    I will value it and do all I can if I could be accepted.

    M: I see. Thank you.

    (Text 4)               

    W: How can I get to your house?

    M: Oh it’s very easy. My house is only five minutes’ walk from the station. Turn right outside the station, and then it's the third street on the left. You can't miss it. It's got the number on the gate. It's exactly opposite the park.

    W: I see. Thanks.

    (Text 5)

    (Text 6)

    (Text 9)           

    W: Did you see today’s newspaper? That building over in Centerville was just struck by lightning for the fourth time!

    W: Well, I don't take any chances. If I'm caught in a thunderstorm, I look for a building or a closed car. Also, I was told that if you're stuck outdoors, the best thing you can do is to keep yourself close to the ground and avoid bodies of water.

    M: To tell you the truth, even when I'm at home, I don't take baths or showers during a thunderstorm. And I don't use anything that works electrically; Maybe I'm too anxious.

    (Text 10)

    M: Attention please, ladies and gentlemen. Our bus is getting close to Cambridge, where we'll be stopping to eat. We'll have our lunch in 'the garden of a restaurant overlooking a small park that reminds people of a very famous tree. It's said that General George Washington took command of the army in 1775 under its very branches. It was almost 100 years later, in 1864, that the city of Cambridge celebrated the event and from that moment on, the tree was called the Washington Elm. Later the tree was attacked by insects and finally destroyed in a storm. The remains of the tree were cut down and the growth tings were counted to find out how old the tree was. Well, it seems that if Washington had accepted the Command of his army under this tree he must have done so on his knees. This particular elm couldn't have been over 3 or 4 years old in 1775, It is a well-known fact that Washington took command under an elm tree, but unfortunately it couldn't have been the famous Washington Elm.

        Well, enjoy your lunch. Watch your step as you leave the bus.
