第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的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

Native American sand paintings are a very beautiful and popular art form for collectors today. But traditionally, the paintings are created to heal a person during a ceremony. The type of image and ceremony used is determined by the disease which the person is suffering from. The sand painting may contain an image of the Holy People. The tribe medicine man may ask the Holy People to help him paint the image and therefore

help heal the person in need. When the medicine man finishes painting, he checks its accuracy. The order and the symmetry(对称性) of the painting symbolize the harmony which a patient wishes to achieve in his or her life. The accuracy of a sand painting is believed to determine its healing effects.

In some cases, more than one sand painting might be used in a healing ceremony. During the ceremony, the person who needs healing will sit on the Native American sand painting. The sand painting serves as an entrance for the spirits and through the painting, the person can absorb the healing energies from these spirits.

The sand paintings were not originally meant to be sold or hung on the wall. Once the ceremony is completed, the sand painting must be destroyed, thus allowing the sand to return to the Earth. This is necessary because the sand painting is now seen as poisonous, having absorbed the illness, and must be destroyed. The entire ceremony, from the painting to the destroying is usually completed within a 12-hour period. The medicine man never wrote down how to perform the healing ceremony, but it was passed down from generation to generation.

The Pueblo tribe was the first tribe to create Native American sand paintings, but the art soon spread to many other tribes. Today, it is the Navajos who are the most active in creating Native American sand paintings.

It is believed that it was a medicine man named Fred Stevens who was the first person to create a Native American sand painting for sale in the 1950s. A trader, Rex Bollin, recommended Fred to sell sand paintings since they were so beautiful. After working out how to make the sand stick to the canvas(画布), Fred began selling his sand paintings.

56. During a healing ceremony, it is necessary for .

A. many people to draw together

B. the sick person to sit on the sand painting

C. the sick person to eat some sand

D. the medicine man to use several sand paintings

57. Why would people destroy the sand paintings after the healing ceremony?

A. Because the paintings are useless after the ceremony.

B. Because people don’t know how to keep the paintings for long.

C. Because the paintings are believed to contain illnesses.

D. Because the paintings are believed to contain the spirit of God.

58. From this passage we can infer that .

A. different images would be painted to cure different diseases

B. the Pueblo tribe was unwilling to show other tribes how to create sand paintings

C. an ancient medicine man wrote down how to perform the healing ceremony to pass it

down

D. The Navajos were the creators of Native American sand paintings

59. According to the passage, which of the following statements about Fred Stevens is TRUE?

A. He earned a lot of money from selling sand paintings.

B. He was the world’s most famous sand painting painter.

C. He didn’t think sand paintings could cure diseases.

D. He was the first man to sell sand paintings in the world.

A Chinese space capsule carrying three crew members has returned to Earth following a 13-day mission（使命）. Images of the capsule landing in Inner Mongolia at 10:05 local time were shown live on television.

The astronauts, including China’s first woman in space, carried out a su ccessful manual docking(手工) with the Tiangong-1 laboratory module. This is a key step towards China’s goal of building a space station by 2020. Premier Wen Jiabao praised it as a “complete success”. “This is another outstanding contribution by the Chinese people to humanity’s efforts to explore and use space,” Mr Wen said in Beijing.

“It feels so good to stand on Earth, and it feels even better to be home,” astronaut Liu Wang was quoted（引用）by national broadcaster CCTV as saying. “Tiangong-1, our home in spa ce, was comfortable and pleasant. We’re very proud of our nation, ” female astronaut Liu Yang said.

The crew of the Shenzhou-9 craft successfully carried out the country’s manual docking operation earlier in the week. The delicate procedure, which involved bringing together two orbiting objects travelling at thousands of miles an hour, was mastered by USSR and US space teams in the 1960s. The crew also carried out automatic docking of the two crafts in the process.

The three astronauts returned to the Shenzhou-9 spacecraft on Thursday and performed a manual separation from the space laboratory. They touched down in Inner Mongolia’s Siziwang county on Friday, with the capsule equipped with a parachute （降落伞）to slow its approach.

Ms Liu, 33, is a major in China’s air force from the central province of Henan. On China’s Tencent QQ messaging service, she goes by the name “little Flying knight”. She was selected into China’s space programme only two years ago, but she did particularly well, the official news agency Xinhua says. The Shenzhou-9 spacecraft was launched on 16 June.

60. The final purpose of launching Shenzhou-9 spacecraft is ________.

A. to send the first female astronaut in space

B. to prepare for the foundation of a space station

C. to carry out a manual docking with the Tiangong-1

D. to catch up with the first-class technology worldwide

61. What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 4?

A. To show the great success of the mission

B. To make an introduction of the mission

C. To tell readers manual docking operation is a delicate procedure.

D. To tell readers the importance of mastering the technology.

62. What can be the best title for the text?

A. A successful Space Travel

B. Tiangong-1, Special Home in Space

C. Liu Yang, China’s First Woman in Space

D. China’s Shouzhou-9 Spacecraft Returns to Earth

C

The worldwide increase in the use of cellphones has caused concerns regarding possible harmful effects caused by cellphone radiation. People are particularly concerned that the radiation will put cellphone users at a higher risk of suffering from cancer. However, studies of the association between cellphone use and the risk of brain cancer have reached different conclusions(some, but not all, studies showed increased risk).

Researchers conducted a study to examine if cellphone radiation affected regional activity in the human brain. The study, conducted between January 1 and December 31, 2009,included 47 participants. Cellphones were placed on the left and right ears, and brain imaging was performed to measure brain glucose metabolism(葡萄糖代谢) twice: one with the right cellphone activated for 50 minutes(“on” condition) and once with both cellphones deactivated(“off” condition). An analysis was conducted to check the association of metabolism and cellphone radiation. The scans were compared to assess the effect of cellphone use on brain glucose metabolism.

The researchers found that whole-brain metabolism did not differ between the on and off conditions. However there were regional effects. Metabolism in some brain region was higher (about 7 percent) for cellphone on than for cellphone off conditions. This indicates that the regions expected to absorb more cellphone radiation were the ones that showed the larger increases in glucose metabolism.

These results provide evidence that the human brain is sensitive to the effects of acute(剧烈的) cellphone radiation. However, how cellphone radiation could affect brain glucose metabolism is unclear.

Concerns have been raised by the possibility that cellphone radiation may induce brain cancer. Results of this study provide evidence that acute cellphone radiation affects brain metabolic activity. However, these results provide no information as to their connection regarding possible carcinogenic(致癌的) effects (or lack of such effects) of chronic(长期的) cellphone use.

Further studies are needed to assess if these effects could have long-term harm.

63. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. The current situation of cellphone use.

B. To phone or not to phone.

C. The link between cellphone use and brain cancer.

D. Long-term harmful effects of cellphones.

64. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. The future of the cellphone market is not so bright.

B. The issue whether cellphone use causes brain cancer remains unsettled.

C. Worrying about radiation, more and more people will give up their cellphones.

D. Cellphone radiation affects brain function but it doesn’t lead to brain cancer.

65. The study in the passage tells us .

A. the whole-brain metabolism is not affected by cellphone radiation

B. how cellphone radiation affects brain glucose metabolism

C. studies on the relationship between cellphone use and brain cancer are useless

D. glucose metabolism in the brain regions absorbing more cellphone radiation decreases

66. The underlined w ord “induce” in the passage can be replaced by ““.

A. reduce

B. introduce

C. cause

D. suggest

D

When we consider the global energy agenda we tend to focus on those of us who already have energy. Headlines about Middle Eastern security, Arctic oil exploration, nuclear safety, or renewable energy assume that the energy is there for us; the question is how we use it safely. Amid the discussion, one group of people is consistently overlooked: those who don’t have energy—those who are still living in the dark ages.

One in five people in the world today has no electricity. Two out of every five people have no clean way of cooking. They rely on coal cooking stoves that contribute to the indoor air pollution that kills about 1.6 million people every year. Almost all energy-poor people, 95 percent, live in Africa or Asia, and over 80 percent live in the countryside.

On Monday, a special conference called “Energy for All” began looking at how to help these people get the energy they need to improve their well-being and health.

Switching the lights on for the world’s poor by 2030 would require a mere 3 percent of projected global energy investment(投资), about 48 billion dollars per year. But

that’s more than five times what is currently spent in th e area. Most investment these days goes into connections in the world’s big cities because that’s where the profits are. Rural areas are being left behind, particularly as one key energy source is oil, whose price has increased greatly in the last decade.

So it requires political will, strong regulation and a much bigger effort from private companies for everyone to have energy by 2030. Governments must set targets for electricity access, while overseas funding must concentrate on these areas that are not profitable enough.

As with continued global population growth, many wonder what “Energy for All” will mean for the climate and environment. Yet the experts see no major problem.

67. We can learn from the first paragraph that .

A. much attention is paid to people who have energy

B. people who already have energy should be removed from the global energy agenda

C. technology for the use of renewable energy is developing rapidly

D. people still living in the dark ages don’t have to face energy problems

68. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Cooking is the main cause of indoor air pollution.

B. Global energy investment is decreasing year by year.

C. Most energy investment nowadays aims to earn money.

D. The increase in oil prices has made many rural areas run out of energy.

69. The fifth paragraph is mainly about .

A. the measures for people who don’t have energy to enjoy electricity access

B. the reason why global society should help people who don’t have energy

C. the importance of teaching poor people to use energy in a safe way

D. the benefits of giving electricity access to poor people

70. What is most likely to be discussed in the following paragraph?

A. Why people are interested in the “Energy for All” project.

B. Problems brought about by global population growth.

C. Influence of climate change on energy supply.

D. How the “Energy for All” project will affect the environment.

第Ⅱ卷（非选择题三部分共35分）

第四部分：

第一节，任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文后表格的空格处填入最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格填1个单词。

Let’s face it: homew ork can be almost as frustrating for parents as it is for kids. Getting kids to do their homework can be a challenge, and when they do sit down to study, a variety of other problems can appear. But your child’s study sessions don’t have to make the whole family stressed out.

Doing homework may not be as fun as playing video games or chatting with friends, but it shouldn’t be something that kids hate. Your children’s assignments should not be busywork, but should help them build a skill or learn something new.

You can help by being a homework monitor, stepping in to answer questions or offer encouragement. This gives you a chance to see what they are learning and how well they understand the material. It helps you understand their learning style and shows you care about their education.

Many kids refuse to study by asking why they have to learn things they’ll never use in real life. If you son or daughter shows little interest in their assignments, you can make them seem more important by pointing out ways you use them in daily life.

Parents who feel that their kids are overloaded can talk about it with the teachers, but they’re in the minority. A 2007 survey showed that 15 percent of parents said their kids had too much homework. About 60 percent said the homework load was just right, and 25 percent thought their children had too little homework.

If you think it takes your child too long to finish homework, try to determine whether the problem lies in having too much work or managing time poorly. One of the things homework is supposed to do is to teach time management.

If your child complains of boredom while doing homework, consider the following suggestions to make study sessions more enjoyable.

Get help from friends: if your children are struggling with an assignment, let them call a friend for help or invite a friend over to work on it with them. You might also invite neighborhood kids over and let them do homework together. Have them sit around the dining table and help each other.

Add physical activity: set mini-goals for homework and allow time for stretching, jumping around, or a snack after each goal is completed. For a kid who can’t sit still, find active ways to study.

Turn the tables: let your children teach you a lesson. Let them give you a quiz on the things they have just learned.

Recently our class had a heated discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of riding a bike to school. The following are the results.

Riding a bike is an environmentally friendly means of transport because it can help reduce carbon emissions and save energy. Besides, riding a bike saves much time when there are many traffic jams in rush hour. What’s more, making riding a daily exercise

routine is beneficial to our health. It burns calories and improves our physical condition.

However, there are also some disadvantages. Bike-riding can be easily affected by bad weather, especially when it rains or snows. Also, bike lanes are sometimes occupied by illegally parked vehicles, which may become a danger to the safety of riders.

As far as I’m concern ed, the advantages of riding a bike outweigh the disadvantages. I hope effective measures are taken to ensure the riders’ safety.
