第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!”

The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try t o figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless (鲁莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.

The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as

the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.

56.According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus

trip?

A. Buses on the road.

B. Films on television.

C. Advertisements on the billboards.

D. Gas stations.

57.What is the purpose of this passage?

A. To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.

B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.

C. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.

D. To describe the billboards along the road.

58.The writer of this passage would probably favor _____.

A. bus drivers who aren’t reckless

B. driving alone

C. a television set on the bus

D. no billboards along the road

59.The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because _____.

A. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun

B. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between

C. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses

D. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.

60.The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are

_____.

A. exciting

B. comfortable

C. tiring

D. boring

B

BROOKSVILLE —It’s the time of year again, when young bears are on their own for the first time. And that means more sightings where bears usually aren’t supposed to be.

This weekend, a 258-pound black bear took a brief tour of Brooksville, with police and firefighters chasing.

Another black bear, weighing just 100 pounds, was spotted Saturday, crossing busy U. S.

19 near a retirement community in Spring Hill. Several other bear reports have come from Citrus County.

“It is really difficult for the younger bears to find their own land around here,” said Niki Everitt, bear hot line director for the Gulf Coast Conservancy.

Brooksville’s bear first was spotted late Thursday crossing State Road 50, headed toward Tom Varn Park. Police and firefighters tracked the bear through the park and the Brooksville

Quarry golf course.

The bear then wound down the middle of Broad Street before being surrounded near Luigi’s Pizza. An official with the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission came with a tranquilizer spear (加入镇静剂的矛), planning to stick the bear by hand.

“The guy saw the size of the bear and figured that wasn’t a great idea,” said Capt. Frank Phillips of the Brooksville Fire Department.

Emergency officials waited until a tranquilizer gun was brought from Land O’Lakes. The bear then got a free ride to the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area.

It is not unusual for bears to move into living areas this time of year, experts say. Mothers give their male baby bears the boot once the youngsters are 2 years old. With living areas growing, the young bears keep finding smaller and smaller areas in which they can set up their own land.

“They’re trying to find a land of their own, where they won’t get beat up,” said Lt. Rip Stalvey, a game commission spokesman.

Everitt said people should not be too concerned about the recent bear sightings, since “we have never had a bear attack in Florida.”

Black bears mainly eat the tender and fresh leaves of Sabal palms, as well as acorns and berries. Recent weeks of dry weather likely have reduced their food supply.

“If we don’t get some relief soon,” Everitt said, “we’re probably going to see a lot more of it.”

61.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. Bear sightings in living areas worry people.

B. Policemen try hard to get the bears controlled.

C. People take up too much land from bears.

D. Bears come out to disturb people’s lives.

62.Which is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The 100-pound bear was caught near Luigi’s Pizza.

B. The Gulf Coast Conservancy makes bears homeless.

C. Brooksville’s bear was too large to be caught by hand.

D. Bears frequently visit humans’ living areas.

63.Bear sightings can usually be expected _____.

A. in the cold season

B. in the warm season

C. near lakes or rivers

D. near Luigi’s Pizza

64.The underlined phrase “give their male baby bears the boot” means “_____”.

A. make them wear the boots

B. find new homes for them

C. keep them in safe places

D. drove them away from home

65.The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to _____.

A. bear attack

B. bear sighting

C. bears’ eating local plants

D. dry weather

C

“Calling tower,” the pilot's voice crackled. “This is an emergency!” The radio operator in the control tower looked at his watch. It was 3:15 p.m. Lieutenant Charles Taylor and five Navy bombers were in trouble. “We are off course. We cannot see land…repeat…we cannot see land.”

The control tower grew silent. The operator garbed his microphone. “What is your position? We are not sure of our position,”Lieutenant Taylor replied. “We seem to be lost.” Taylor had over 2,500 hours of flight time. What was happening?

The tower called back: “Assume bearing (方位) due west.” “We don't know which way is west,” Taylor replied. “Everything is wrong…strange… We can not be sure of any direction…Even the ocean looks odd…” The radio operator told Taylor to fly north “with the sun on the left” until he reached a Naval Air Station. Anyone could find the sun, especially a good pilot like Taylor. Soon the radio crackled aga in. “We have just passed over a small island,” said the pilot. “No other land in sight.” That was the last message Flight 19 sent to the radio tower. Five Navy bombers were lost. They had left the Naval Air Station for a routine training flight at 2:00 p.m., December 5, 1945. Each plane had enough fuel to fly more than a thousand miles. The weather was sunny and mild. Pilots from other flights had not seen anything strange there. So what happened? How could five Navy bombers and their crews just disappear?

The search for the five bombers covered 380,000 square miles of land and sea. Hundreds of boats and planes searched large areas of the Atlantic, the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, the mainland of Florida, and many neighboring islands. Some of the boats were aircraft carriers, destroyers, and submarines. They searched the area for weeks. Nothing was ever found. No life rafts. No wreckage. Not even an oil slick (浮油). Oil from the engines should float on the surface, even if everything else had sunk.

66.The pilot knew that they were in trouble when _____.

A. The radio operator warned him

B. The emergency light was suddenly on

C. The engine failed to work

D. He couldn’t be sure of his flying route

67.Which of the following fact is NOT true for the five Navy bombers?

C. They could not find the sun.

D. They saw no other land.

68.What made the disappearance so mysterious?

a. The control tower grew silent.

b. The bombers had a lot of fuel.

A. (a) (b) (c)

B. (b) (c) (d)

C. (a) (c) (d)

D. (a) (b) (d)

69.What was the most unusual for the search?

C. There was no oil slick.

D. There was no “SOS” call.

The oldest forms of medicine are enjoying a comeback. Modern holistic (整体的) medicine is an approach that treats the whole patient, not just the disease. It is a way to maintain good health rather than cure illness. The most important influences on today’s holistic medicine are ancient Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurvedic medicine, both of which promoted whole body health.

Holistic medicine usually combines diet, physical exercise and meditation, together with other alternative techniques such as massage (按摩) and acupuncture (针炙). Herbal treatment, a practice of treating illness by using plants, is influenced by the writings of Culpeper as well as Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Homeopathy is one of the forms of holistic medicine which is widely practiced in Europe and the USA. Homeopathy began in Germany in the early 1800s, when Samuel Hahnemann described how very tiny doses (剂量) of a drug had an effect on his patients. According to Hahnemann, the more the drug was diluted (稀释), the stronger its effects. The substance selected would produce similar effects to the disease itself if given in large doses. In the UK homeopathy is regarded as a non-traditional but just about acceptable treatment.

Meditation and contemplation have an important role in holistic medicine. They were brought to Europe by Indian teachers who combined Indian Ayurvedic medicine with Western beliefs. Transcendental meditation is one of the best known of these techniques. People repeat

words inside their head to reach a state of deep relaxation.

The holistic movement has made many doctors look at the whole patient, not just the disease. Life-style, emotional problems and diet are just some of the factors that can affect a person’s heal th. Holistic medicine emphasizes good diet, exercise and fresh air, all of which contribute to health. Some clinics now offer holistic medicine along with traditional treatments, so that their patients can choose a combination of treatments that suits them. One problem with holistic medicine is that it is difficult for people to be sure a doctor is reliable. To solve this, many countries want alternative doctors to form professional bodies.

71.Modern holistic medicine centers upon .

A. curing a disease

B. herbal treatment

C. continuous development

D. keeping patients healthy

72.Which of the following does NOT belong to holistic medicine?

A. massage

B. meditation

C. a balanced diet

D. a knee operation

73.The principle of homeopathy is that .

A. the large doses of medicine that will not be harmful will take better effect

B. the disease will be cured sooner by taking larger doses of medicine

C. a small thinner dose of medicine will be more effective

D. the doses of medicine depend on how serious the illness is

74.Which of the following titles best sums up the passage?

A. Holistic Medicine

B. Traditional Medicine Returns

C. History of Medicine

D. Combination of Treatments Works

75.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Relaxation is the key of holistic treatment.

B. Holistic medicine needs to become more trustworthy.

C. Holistic treatment is more beneficial than traditional treatments.

D. Holistic medicine will become the most welcome treatment soon.

第II卷（非选择题30分）

第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）

第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）

阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）【1】Having one of those days or weeks when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time . But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster—often within a day or two.

【2】Walk it off. Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quick exercise can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.

【3】Give yourself a pep talk. Stop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper—the pessimistic messages you’ve been giving yourself and then __________. (“I still don’t have a job.” vs “ I have two interviews next week.”)

【4】Reduce your stress. Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing(想象), all of which sound complicated but aren’t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood you have no option. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.

【5】Avoid things that won’t improve your mood. TV may not help much: You need to increase your energy level and stimulate your mind—something that the TV show “Neighbors” won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta, produce a calming effects in people who have a desire for them.

76. What is the main idea of the passage? (no more than 8 words)

77. Complete the following statement with words from the last paragraph. (no more than 4 words)

You should first consider the links between mood and food before _________ some food or drink such as a cake or coffee.

78. Point out three ways of reducing your stress.(No more than 8 words)

79. Fill in the blanks in the third paragraph with proper words.(no more than 5 words)

80. What does the word “it” (Line 3, paragraph 1) probably refer to?

(no more than three words)
