第三部分阅读理解 (共两节, 满分24分)

第一节 (共11小题每小题1.5分满分16.5分)

A

The first time I went for a walk around my father-in-law’s neighborhood was garbage day, and I was shocked to see what people were throwing out. It was back in 1981, and I saw many people gathered in someone’s front yard. As I went nearer to see what was happening I got my first introduction to yard sales. For the few dollars

I had in my wallet, I was able to buy a seven-inch black-and-white portable TV. I also bought a flashlight.

The following weekend, at another yard sale, I saw a 14-inch color TV being sold for almost nothing. I felt I could not miss the offer and bought it. Now I had two sets and couldn’t wait to see what else I could afford the next weekend. Spring ended, and by then I had accumulated almost every type of electronic equipment I had always

wished to have back home.

Then this new idea came to mind. I had heard about a man who traveled back home every few months. He drove a truck filled with boxes of new and used stuff that people were sending to relatives. So I told my father that I would send as many types of items as I could so that he could start his resale business.

Every few months I would gather several boxes of American “junk” –––televisions, toasters, fans, hair dryers, etc. and send them home. As word got out about my father’s “trash” market, people all came to buy these things.

Three years later, when I visited my family for the first time since leaving home, I learned that many of the families in our neighborhood had a piece of “trash”. It proved that I had the responsibility to keep people back home up to date with the latest technology you no longer need.(304words)

Chinese people first encountered the term "empty nest" in a work of famous writer Bing Xin in 1980. In the past three decades, it has become a widespread social phenomenon. And with society and the economy developing at a faster pace, the condition of elderly couples has worsened.

Data shows that over half of the families in China are "empty nest" households, with the figure being as high as 70 percent in some big cities. There were 41.5 million "empty nest" old people aged 65 or above in 2010.Experts even say that "empty nest" families will become the major pattern in Chinese cities and rural areas, dealing a blow to the traditional family support system and requiring the government to take

greater care of the material and spiritual needs of senior citizens and to provide them better psychological comfort, proper healthcare and legal aid.

After retirement, people tend to participate in fewer social activities, spending more time at home reading newspapers or watching television. "Empty nest" people, who are not taken proper care of by their children, are bound to feel lonely, and are usually unwilling to engage in recreational activities, which leads to psychological problems. A survey shows that over half of the "empty nest" old suffer from mental problems to different degrees. Loneliness, anxiety and depression are the most common.

Grown-up children are to take care of not only their parents, but also to respect their feelings, by having more heart-to-heart conversations with them. Family love plays an important role in providing mental comfort for the elderly. They should undertake the responsibility of visiting aged parents more often and making them feel wanted.

There is a lot more communities could do to help make senior citizens' life better. To begin with, they could recruit community volunteers, from warm-hearted university students to helpful and devoted middle-aged citizens.

Senior citizens, too, should make an effort to release tension and prepare for a happy life in their twilight years. They should change their mentality and try to be less emotionally dependent on their children, develop hobbies, extend their social circle, and set new goals to make the rest of their life more interesting.

第二节 (共5小题每小题1.5分满分7.5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.

Do not underestimate the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you are to the exams, the more chance you have to store and retain crucial information. But do not overdo it. 53_______ An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.

On the day of exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need (pens, pencils, erasers, etc), then make your way to the examination hall in good time. 54_______

Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow deep breaths to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as “discuss”, “compare” and “evaluate”. 55_______ It is wise always to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-prepared question down on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected :after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical answers.

56 _______ If you do need something else to focus on to help collect your thoughts, choose a fixture in the room, such as the ceiling or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted.

Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students. 57_______

A.Do not arrive too early, though, as other people’s anxiety can be contagious,

and you may suffer from undue panic.

B.Try not to be tempted to look at those around you, or at the clock.

C.When you get home, read the examination paper through and look up all the words

you didn’t understand.

D.Sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as important.

E.Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend

on each question.

F.Go and have a well-earned rest, then prepare for your next exam.

G.Talk with parents about the exam.

Recently I have conducted survey on whether girls should lose weight among my classmates. Most of the students held the opinion girls should lose weight. To their opinion, girls who are slim are more beautiful and attractively, and they are more confident in their study and work than those who are heavy. However, a few of the students have a different opinion. We think it’s a waste of time and money. In addition, lose weight may be harmful to their body and mind. After all, anything is more important than health. If girls take weight-loss pill and then stops doing that some day, they will become fatter. So there is no need for young girls to lose weight as long as they keep fit.

How are you getting on with your work and study?

How time flies1! It has been three years since I came to China. I’ll introduce Mid-autumn Day to you in reply to your letter.

The Mid-Autumn Day is a traditional festival with a long history which falls on August 15th in Chinese lunar calendar. It is a time when they celebrate the harvest and enjoy the getting-together with families and friends. It sounds like our Thanksgiving, right?The most pleasant thing is that they worship and appreciate the bright and full moon in the yard while tasting mooncakes and various kinds of food. Nowadays, the mooncakes have a variety of tastes and are in all kinds of shapes. I prefer the kind with a yellow egg yolk hidden inside. The yolk looks like a bright,full moon。All in all, the Mid-Autumn Day is a time for relaxation and celebration and most importantly, reunion of families.

Attached are my photos taken in Mid-autumn Day. May you be happy.
