    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
    Amiya Olden could have been a poster child for a reading crisis that affects nearly 2 million Michigan residents older than 1 6：They read below a sixth-grade level，which makes it difficult to find jobs and to improve their lives．Among them，Amiya is one．
    Amiya Olden remembers well the day she graduated from Denby High school．She handed her diploma to her mother，who read it to her．“Then when someone asked me to read it，I could remember the things she read，and I knew what I had to say，”recalled Amiya Olden．“When we would go out to restaurants with my aunts，and that is when I really would get upset．1 would see words on the menu but I couldn’t read! ”
    But don‘t feel sorry for her. She changed her life by reaching a point where she’d read enough．Two summers ago，she took charge of her life when she walked into Pro Literacy Detroit to improve her reading．Nineteen months ago，she was reading at a second-grade level；now at a fifth-grade level．
    Olden now splits her days between her classes at Pro Literacy and the library，where she checks out books and reads them．She says she hopes her improved reading skills will help her find a good job．
    And she has advice for others，who have trouble reading．
    “Don’t give up on it，”she said．“Even though it can be challenging and you might get frustrated sometimes，practice does help．If you really want to be able to go somewhere，go out to a restaurant and you have to read signs and things like that，you want to know what you want to eat and where you want to go．．．If you want to succeed in life and grow，you have to read．More  important，you have to feel confident that you can．”
    56．Amiya' mother read the diploma to her so that_________．
    A．she could encourage her daughter to improve her reading
    B．her daughter could remember the content of the diploma
    C．they both could remember the particular moment
    D．she could show off before her daughter
    57．Amiya attends Pro Literacy Detroit to __________．
    A．get another diploma                 B．improve her reading level
    C．find a good job in the training center     D．be a poster child for the reading crisis
    58．From the passage we can see in Michigan__________．
    A．many people can’t find good jobs due to poor reading
    B．the job market pays too much attention to reading
    C．most students can’t graduate from high school
    D．the reading crisis affects only poor people
    59．Which of the following is true of Amiya?
    A．She is 16 years old now．
    B．A good job has been offered to her．
    C．She is an adviser for those with reading difficulty．
    D．Most of her time is divided between her classes and the library．
    60．With the study at Pro Literacy，Amiya is now             ．
    A．puzzled       B．discouraged         C．confident            D．1earned

    　　阅读理解：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．

    　　When I was about 11, I inherited(继承)my older brother's paper route. It was a good job, though it meant waking up at the crack of dawn and hopping on my bike in Rockford, to deliver papers.

    　　Punctuality was critical. People expected the paper on their front porch by 6 a. m. .If I ran late, they would be standing in their doorways and I would definitely hear about it. On the other hand, doing the job professionally often resulted in much appreciated tips.

    　　Ever since, I have tried to do as professional a job as possible－whether it be bagging groceries, painting houses or tarring(用柏油覆盖) roofs. Acting is not different. I believe if you work hard and behave like a pro, it will pay off, and you will be offered more and better roles.

    　　This means giving your all. If a scene requires another character to react to my jumping into the water, I will jump in as many times as it takes to help him and the director get the shot. Several years ago, while filming a movie in the mountains of Brazil, my fellow actors and I all pitched in to help the crew move heavy equipment through rugged jungle.

    　　Acting is a job like any other, and you can't let it go to your head. The things that made a difference delivering papers－being thorough, punctual, doing your best－also count on the movie set. And I still have to wake up at the crack of dawn.

    1．What does the underlined word “punctuality” in the second paragraph mean?

    [　　]

    A．Quickness.
    B．On time.
    C．Precision.
    D．Accuracy.

    2．From the sentence “Acting is no different. I believe if you work hard and behave like a pro,…”, we can infer________.

    [　　]

    A．acting is as different as other jobs

    B．nothing is different but acting

    C．the author worked hard in acting

    D．acting is the same as other jobs

    3．Which of the following statements is NOT correct according to the passage?

    [　　]

    A．Doing the job professionally often gets mote pay.

    B．The author has done a lot of jobs, such as bagging.

    C．Better work and behavior will result in better pay and better roles.

    D．As an actor, he doesn't have to help others.

    4．The author used the sentence “Acting is a job like any other, and you can't let it go to your head.” to mean ________.

    [　　]

    A．acting is a good job and you should not give up the position

    B．acting is a common job like others and you should not be arrogant(骄傲自大的)

    C．acting is just a job and you needn't be proud

    D．acting is a good job and you should work hard anyway

    5．Which of the following would be the best title?

    [　　]

    A．My First Job

    B．Paperboy

    C．How to Get a Good Job

    D．My Attitude Toward Working

    阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　Nuclear energy has always been controversial．But since the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima(Japan)last year the issue is back in the headlines．And the world is divided-some countries are planning more nuclear plants, while others have promised to shut theirs down．

    　　After Fukushima, Germany decided to switch off all its nuclear plants by 2022．Switzerland and Italy are also phasing out nuclear power．But France and the United States remain staunch supporters of atomic energy．In fact, almost 80％ of France's electricity comes from nuclear power, the highest percentage in the world．And in the US, the Obama administration said it “continues to support the expansion of nuclear power, despite the crisis in Japan．”

    　　Nuclear supporters claim nuclear power can help the environment．Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear power doesn't create greenhouse gases．So, pro-nuclear countries argue that nuclear power allows them to generate energy without contributing to climate change．Britain's chief scientific adviser(John Beddington)supports this view．He recently said that the world doesn't have the luxury of ignoring nuclear energy．

    　　Nuclear power is also relatively cheap．Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind power may be clean, but they’re expensive; and right now, they require a lot of investment．This higher cost of using “green energy” is usually passed onto the consumer．So, while many people may prefer their energy to come from a renewable source, not so many are prepared to pay higher energy bills．This is of particular concern while the world economy is in such bad shape．

    　　The main argument against nuclear energy is that it isn't safe．For a start, nuclear waste is very difficult to dispose of, and remains toxic to humans for thousands of years．And even before Fukushima, there were several high-profile nuclear disasters．The most famous is probably the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, in the Ukraine．The radiation from the meltdown spread all over Europe, affecting thousands．

    　　The nuclear energy issue is very complex．And it doesn't look like it'll be resolved anytime soon．As a Japanese commentator recently said, “it's been a bad year for the ‘nuclear village’, but I don't think they’re down and out yet．” The battle continues．

    (1)

    What does the underlined word “this ” refer to in paragraph 4?

    [　　]

    A．

    The fact that many people prefer to use the green energy sources while unwilling to pay higher bill．

    B．

    The cost of using renewable sources

    C．

    The fact that the nuclear power is cheaper．

    D．

    The investment of renewable energy sources

    (2)

    In the 5th paragraph, the author takes the case of Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine to ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    convince the reader that nuclear waste is difficult to get rid of．

    B．

    explain that nuclear waste may remain harmful to humans for thousands of years．

    C．

    persuade the world not to use nuclear energy．

    D．

    support the idea that nuclear energy is not safe．

    (3)

    We can learn from the last paragraph that ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the Japanese commentator is positive about the future of nuclear energy．

    B．

    the nuclear energy issue will be soon settled．

    C．

    a battle will break out in the future．

    D．

    Japan is considering to build a nuclear village in the future．

    (4)

    What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    To highlight the danger of using nuclear energy．

    B．

    To introduce some serious nuclear disasters．

    C．

    To show the argument between nuclear supporters and protesters．

    D．

    To give some advice on how to use nuclear energy safely．

    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。

    　　The moon is made of ice－cream．Little green men live in the center of the earth．Nearly everyone tells lies．Only the third statement is true．Or at least that is what Dr．Robert Feldman of the University of Massachusetts says．Dr．Feldman conducted an experiment in which he asked 240 students to talk to each other for minutes．He filmed the conversations and then asked the students to watch themselves to confirm if all that they had said was true．

    　　It turned out that nearly all of them had lied at least once．It seems that we not only lie, we do it naturally and without thinking．

    　　“It's so easy to lie, ” said Dr．Feldman “We teach our children to be honest, but also to be polite and avoid offending people．Kids get a mixed message and that affects how they behave as adults．”

    　　According to Dr．Wendy Gamble of the University of Arizona, kids don't need any instructions in lying．It comes naturally to them．Dr Gamble, a psychologist, has identified four different types of lies that both children and adults tell．The “pro－social” lie is told to help or protect other people．The “self－enhancement” lie is told by someone who wants to look good to other people．The “selfish lie” protects the speaker by harming someone else．And worst of all, the “anti－social” lie is told for the pleasure of getting someone else into trouble．

    　　According to Dr．Feldman, men and women lie in different ways as well．“Women are more likely to lie to make the person they are with feel good．Men lie to make themselves look better, ” he says．The husband tells his wife he's due for a promotion at work．“Of course you are, ” she replies．

    　　“Honesty is the basis of healthy relationships, ” says Dr．Gamble．“But rather than dismiss all lying as bad, we should reflect that deception is common and often socially acceptable．”

    　　Perhaps we already do．In the English language, the word liar is usually only used to describe the person who tells selfish or anti－social lies．The rest are referred to as “white lies” ．These are joke words which show that we can tolerate people who don't tell the truth all the time．If people did not make up stories, there would be no literature, poetry or films．

    　　Some psychologists argue that the lies people tell each other help hold society together．They make us feel good about each other and ourselves and encourage tolerance and trust．Just think what the world would be like if everybody said exactly what they thought all the time．

    　　Yet there are times when people also need to hear the truth．It would be wrong to say that lying makes the world go round．It's the little green men in the center of the earth who do that．

    (1)

    It is ________, according to Dr Gamble, that makes people lie．

    [　　]

    A．

    parents’ instructions

    B．

    school education

    C．

    social experiences

    D．

    human nature

    (2)

    Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    The little green men in the center of the earth make the world go round．

    B．

    Lies are actually common and acceptable in daily lives but not all are bad．

    C．

    We should always tolerate people who don't tell the truth all the time．

    D．

    The world would be lovely if everybody told exactly what they thought．

    (3)

    In paragraph 5, the wife said “Of course you are” to ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    make her husband feel great

    B．

    build up her husband's confidence

    C．

    show her love to her husband

    D．

    help with her husband's promotion

    (4)

    “I never tell lies” is a(an) ________ ．

    [　　]

    A．

    “pro－social” lie

    B．

    “self－enhancement” lie

    C．

    selfish lie

    D．

    “anti－social” lie
