Ⅳ阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）

第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分

A

I was born in Mississippi in the 1960s. My disabilities were caused by lack of oxygen to my brain when I was

a five-year-old boy. I grew up knowing I was different. The first time I felt hurt and left out was in Grade Five. The other fourth and fifth graders played together in gym class, while I was put in the second grade gym class. One day, a famous football player visited the fourth and fifth grade P.E. class. All the kids got his autograph except me because I was with the second graders playing games. Mom called the school to tell them it wasn’t fair, but the school scolded me for complaining too much.

In the 1980s, when my mom was giving birth to my sister, she had made a major stroke（中风）and died. My dad became even more distant. I was very sad and began using alcohol to ease the pain.

Dad got remarried in 1985. Everyone went to his wedding except me; he told me to stay at home and watch

the house. When my high school ball came around, I wanted to go but wasn’t allowed. When I graduated, my dad and step-mom refused to hold a party for me. They put me in a group home after graduation.

My life changed when I became a local leader of the National Self-advocacy（自我辩护）Group. At first, I thought the group wasn’t for me, until I found out it was all about empowerment（授权）! My goal is to be the voice for people who haven’t been heard and to empower them. Many families, like mine, don’t believe their disabled families have a voice or mind of their own.

Looking back over my 16 years of leadership experience, I ’m proud that I ’ve helped disabled people. They should be encouraged to never give up and to follow their own path.

56. When the writer was in the fifth grade, he .

A. was hurt by his classmates in school

B. felt left out for the first time in his life

C. studied with the second graders

D. often complained about the school

57. According to the passage, the writer .

A. was born disabled

B. didn’t study well at school

C. was happy in his childhood

D. didn’t get along well with his father

58. From the passage we can know that the National Self-advocacy Group is .

A. an organization that gives disabled people help

B. a club organized completely by disabled people

C. a hospital which only treats people with disabilities

D. a school that teaches parents how to deal with their disabled kids

B

There are robots all around us. Some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. And some do one simple job. When an automatic washing machine is switched on , water pours in. The machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes. It does this by “fee dback(反馈)” . Information about what is happening is feedback into the robot to tell what to do next. Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. They tell us what is going on around us . So robots are like human beings in two ways.

They work and they have feedback.

In some ways robots are better than human beings. They work quickly and do not make mistakes. They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. And they never get tired. So robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. First their electronic brain must be shown how the job is done, A person moves the robot’s “arms” and “hands” through each part of the job.

The most intelligent robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras. Their fingers can feel shapes and sizes of the objects. These robots have computer brains linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions. The expensive robots are used in scientific research. They do such jobs as handling radioactive materials.

59. In this passage the author tells us that .

A. robots are very popular

B. there are various kinds of robots

C. we see robots only at certain times

D. robots can be easily controlled

60. What does the author seem to inform you about robots?

A. They should be greatly improved

B. They will probably take over in the future

C. They are very hopeful and useful to humans

D. They are machines that break down a lot

61. The author says that in industry .

A. robots break down a lot

B. robots can do many jobs

C. robots only get in the way

D. robots sometimes cause troubles

62. The fact that a robot never gets bored doing the same job means that .

A. it is very much like human beings

B. it can do boring jobs for people

C. it will never bore people

D. it will work much better than human beings

C

Driving while talking on a hand-held mobile phone has long been considered a danger. But even drivers who use hands free devices are a nuisance – because they are slowing everyone else down, according to a study.

David Strayer, a psychology professor in Utah University’s traffic lab, conducted a study involving 36 university students driving on motorways. Each used a hands free phone for half the trip but not for the other half. The students were told to obey posted speed limits and use turn signals but the rest of the driving decisions were up to them . What Strayer found is that when the drivers were distracted（使分心）by a phone conversation , they made fewer lane（车道）changes, drove slower and took longer to get where they were going. Fellow researcher Professor Peter Martin, who teaches civil and environmental engineering at Utat University, said, “Ordinarily a slower driver should be safer ，but that’s not the case when people are talking on a cell phone.”

In general , drivers who used mobile phones while driving took three percent longer to drive along the same high-density route than drivers who didn’t. When stuck behind a dawdling(磨蹭的) driver , it took them between 25 and 50 seconds longer to switch to an open lane to overtake. Those delays can add up when you consider studies that suggest as many as 10 percent of US drivers are using a cell phone at any one time. And delays in traffic streams of very small amou nts can grow into massively when drivers are crossing a highway.” Our next step is to use computer models to determine just how much those delays are costing drivers in time and in extra fuel costs,” Martrin said.

63. What does the underlined word in the first paragraph mean?

A. A person who is a volunteer.

B. A person who breaks the traffic law

C. A person who is annoyed by others.

D. A person who causes trouble

64. Which of the following is TRUE , according to Martin?

A. The more slowly a person drove, the safer he was.

B. Measures should be taken to stop using mobile phones.

C. Drivers using hand-held phones had less effect on traffic than those using hands free phones

D. Driving while using mobile phones could cost drivers time and money.

65. The passage is mainly about .

A. traffic conditions in rush hours

B. the use of mobile phones in the USA

C. using hands free devices behind the wheel

D. a comparison between hand-held phones and hands free ones

第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（请将答案写在答题纸上）

Nowadays a vegetarian lifestyle is becoming more and more popular. Leading health experts agree that maintaining a vegetarian diet is one of the best things we can do for ourselves and our families.

66 . A well-planned vegetarian diet provides us with all the nutrients we need and avoids fat, cholesterol （胆固醇）and the pollutants found in animal flesh, eggs, and dairy products. And it can provide protection against various kinds of diseases, including the three biggest killers: heart disease, cancer, and strokes. The American Dietetic Association states that vegetarians have lower rates of death from heart disease, lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and lower rates of hypertension(高血压) . 67 .

Scientists have also found that vegetarians have stronger immune systems than their meat-eating friends.

68 . Vegetarians live, on average, 6 to 10 years longer than meat-eaters.

69 . Animals raised for food consume the vast majority of their calories simply in order to live, just as we do. We feed more than 70 percent of the grains and cereals we grow to farm animals, and almost all of those calories go into simply keeping them alive, not making them grow. Only a small amount of the calories consumed by farm animals are actually turned into the meat that people eat . So it’s really a huge waste, isn’t it ? Try your best to find tips for maximizing(最大化) the health benefits of a vegetarian diet. 70

A. All of these diseases are more likely to happen to meat-eaters

B. Living on plants also saves energy

C. Growing all the crops needed to feed animals requires massive amounts of water and land

D. This means that they are less likely to be affected by everyday illnesses like the flu.

E. Vegetarian diets are the only diets that work for long-term weight loss

F. It’s never too late to turn over a new page.

G. Healthy vegetarian diets support a lifetime of good health.

(One possible version)

Dear Wang Ming,

I’m sorry to hear that you got hurt in the accident and met lots of problems in your life.

Sunshine is everywhere as long as you have a positive attitude to life. Sometimes we cannot change the fact, but we can adapt ourselves to new situations with our efforts. You can learn from the story of Helen Keller, an American woman. She couldn’t see and hear, but she went to college, wrote nearly a dozen books, traveled all over the world, met 12 US presents, and lived to 87.

It is possible for you to find a good job by learning certain professional skills. Helping others can give you a sense of satisfaction and success.

Forget about unhappy things in life, never look down upon yourself, and become a member of our society just like others.

Best wishes.

Yours ,

Good afternoon, everyone! I am Lorenzo from Brazil, and today I’m very pleased to be doing this speech on behalf of Class 2A.

The students from Class 2A come from six different countries: Brazil, Canada, France, Hungary, Indonesia and Thailand. Even though we have very distinct cultures and speak different languages, we became good friends soon after starting our Japanese course.

Because we were all beginners in Japanese, our class loved studying grammar! I’d like to use this opportunity to apologize to all the teachers, for asking so many tough questions in Japanese and giving them such a hard time! However, through their great effort we were able to truly improve our Japanese, as you can see in the “Conversation Challenge” video!

Fina lly, I’d like to express my gratitude to all the teachers, for their guidance and inspiration. Though the course has ended, I believe we will all continue to study Japanese/

Thank you very much!
