三. 阅读: (共25小题，满分45分）

第一节：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）

A

Most American schools have boys and girls in the same classroom. But a public high school in the small, rural town of Boonsboro, Maryland, offers a special program called the Academy. Top students in the ninth and tenth grades can attend single-sex classes for math, science, English and social studies.

The aim is to help teenagers keep their mind on their work by keeping males and females apart. What they really want to do is take that top group of kids and take them to the very highest level they can achieve there, so that they’re prepared for college.

Students are invited to enter this program after they finish middle school, and placement in the Academy is voluntary. However, they need high marks and test scores and strong teacher recommendations. They also need to be involved in activities. Almost 350 students have taken part in the Academy. It began as an experiment in 2010.

Michael Bair has been at Boonsboro High for twenty years and directs the Academy. His ninth-grade English class for boys centers on books that he believes boys find interesting. He says that the novels the students are reading now are very manly novels. These novels deal with the arrogance (傲慢) of man and the pride of man which finally leads to man’s downfall.

One of those books, for example, is The Call of the Wild by Jack London. This classic story tells of a dog stolen from his home and sold to work as a sled dog in Canada’s K londike Gold Rush.

Morgan Fleet, a senior at Boonsboro High, likes being in the Academy. She says boys and girls act differently when they are together in a classroom. She believes this difference seems to prevent her from developing herself because she’s more focused on thoughts like “Oh, I wish they would shut up. Oh, what do they think of me?’’ instead of focusing on “What’s the homework? What’s going on in this class? What’s the lesson?”

There is one activity that girls and boys in the Academy do together. At the end of the day, many of them stay and help tutor students who are having trouble in school.

46. What is the purpose of the Academy program?

B. To help students concentrate on study.

C. To strengthen sex education for teenagers.

D. To start learning college courses earlier.

47. To enter the Academy program, students are NOT required to _________.

A. do well in their study

B. be recommended by teachers

C. take part in some activities

D. have worked as volunteers

48. The Call of the Wild is given as an example to show that male students _________.

A. should learn more about literature

B. should have a sense of protecting the wildlife

C. are reading more manly novels

D. are interested in stories on animals

49. Which is likely to be Morgan Fleet’s opinion?

A. A girl cares about the boys’ opinions of her.

B. Single-sex classes should be stopped.

C. Girls are more focused when studying with boys.

D. Boys and girls act the same in separate classrooms.

50. The passage is intended to _________.

A. introduce the single-sex class project

B. explain the differences between boys and girls

C. persuade students to enter the Academy program

D. urge students to work hard in their study

B

Audrey Hepburn was born on May 4, 1929 in Brussels, Belgium. She really was blue-blood(贵族血统) from the beginning with her father, a wealthy English banker, and her mother, a Dutch baroness（男爵）. After her parents divorced, Audrey went to London with her mother where she went to a private girls school. In World War II she fell on hard times during the Nazi occupation, and Audrey suffered from depression and malnutrition. After the liberation she headed to America to try her luck there.

Audrey gained immediate prominence in the US with her role in Roman Holiday in 1953. This film turned out to be a smashing success as she won an Oscar as Best Actress. This gained her enormous popularity and more roles. Roman Holiday was followed by another similarly wonderful performance in the 1957 classic Funny Face. Sabrina, in 1954, for which she received another Academy nomination, and Love in the Afternoon, in 1957, also garnered rave reviews（备受好评）. One of Audrey's most radiant roles was in the fine production of My Fair Lady, in 1964. Her co-star Rex Harrison once was asked to identify his favorite leading lady. Without hesitation, he replied, "Audrey Hepburn in MY FAIR LADY". After a couple of other movies, she gained another nomination in 1967's Wait Until Dark.

By the end of the sixties, after her divorce from actor Mel Ferrer, Audrey decided to retire while she was on top. Later she married Dr. Andrea Dotti. From time to time, she would appear on the silver screen. In 1988, Audrey became a special ambassador to the United Nations UNICEF（United Nations Children's Fund）fund helping children in Latin America and Africa, a position she retained until 1993. She was named to People's magazine as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world. Her last film was Always in 1989. Audrey Hepburn died on January 20, 1993 in Tolochnaz, Switzerland. She had made a total of 31 high quality movies. Her elegance and style will always be remembered in film history as evidenced by her being named to Empire magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time".

A person’s ability to quickly react to different circumstances might better indicate h is or her chances for a longer and healthier life, than their blood pressure, weight or exercise levels, reports a new study by British researchers.

While this can be attributed, in part, to differences in lifestyles because commonly, the more intelligent people are, the less likely they tend to smoke and suffer from extreme weight, there was still much of the gap that could not be previously explained. In fact, according to the authors, people’s reaction times are a measure of their intelligence (IQ), which, in its turn is an indicator of “system integrity”(系统完整性) of their bodies, in other words, how well the rest of the body is wired together.

The Scottish research appears to be the first to focus on a comparison between people’s intelligence and their death. The findings were based on the study of 7,414 people nationwide for more than a twenty-year period of time.

In the experiment, the reaction times of all the study participants were measured by the means of an electrical device that was fitted with a small screen and 5 numbered buttons. The participants then were asked to press the matching buttons when they saw some number appearing on screen. The time that every volunteer had taken to react was meanwhile recorded and averages worked out.

It was found later that since the mid-80s, more than 1,200 people have died, and 568 of them from heart related conditions. The experts then compared the reaction times, smoking and drinking habits, weight and other factors of those people who had passed away with those who had survived. The results revealed that people with slow reactions were 2.6 times more likely to die prematurely (提前) from any cause. The only factor that was somehow connected with an increased risk of death was smoking—making it over 3 times more likely.

Traditional indicators such as heart rate, waist circumference, physical activity, drinking habits, body max index (BMI) and blood pressure were found to be less accurate. There had been assumptions that reaction time, as a measure of speed of the information-processing capacity, may be a marker for the integrity of the human body, the researchers wrote. But the current study shows that slower are the reaction times, and therefore worse

capability to process information—better are the chances of physiological malfunctioning (技能丧失), which may in turn be linked to a premature death.

56 What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Want to Live a Longer Life?—Watch Y our Reaction

B. A Better Way t o Measure One’s Intelligence

C. The Relation Between Intelligence and Lifestyle

D. Good Habits Lead to a Longer Life

57. People’s reaction times can tell us about _______.

A. their life styles

B. their intelligence

C. their body max index

D. their way of thinking

58. According to the passage, if a person has slower reaction, he _______.

A. is more likely to die prematurely from any cause

B. is more likely to die from heart related conditions

C. must have high body max index

D. is sure to have many bad habits

59. The researchers believe traditional indicators ________.

A. can only be used to tell a person’s lifespan

B. can be used to measure one’s information-processing capacity

C. are not so accurate in telling a person’s lifespan as expected

D. can only be used to tell a person’s lifestyle

60. We can infer from the passage that _________.

A. it’s hard to tell whether one can live a longer life

B. none of the traditional indicators are reliable

C. the Scottish researchers are still not sure what leads to a longer life

D. smoking is an important cause of a premature death

D

At Blossom End Railroad Station, 22-year-old Stanley Vine sat, waiting for his new employer. The surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy landscape of war-torn France. After four horrible years as an army private fighting in Europe, Stanley had returned to England in February 1946. Armed now with some savings and with no prospects for a job in England, he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada. Two months later he was on his way.

When the old car rumbled toward the tiny station, Stanley rose to his feet, trying to make the most of his five foot, four inch frame. The farmer, Alphonse Lapine, shook his head and complained, “Y ou’re a skinny thing.” On the way to his dairy farm, Alphonse explained t hat he had a wife and seven kids. “Money’s tight. Y ou’ll get room and board. Y ou’ll get up at dawn for milking, and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again. Ten dollars a week. Sundays off.” Stanley nodded. He had never been on a farm before, but he took the job.

From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family. They made fun of the way he dressed and talked. He could do nothing right. The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper, criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake. The oldest son, 13-year-old Armand, constantly played nasty tricks on him. But the kind-hearted Stanley never responded.

Stanley never became part of the Lapine family. After work, they ignored him. He spent his nights alone in a tiny bedroom. However, each evening before retiring, he lovingly cared for the farmer’s horses, eagerly awaiting him at the field gate. He called them his gentle giants. On Saturday nights he hitch-hiked into the nearest town and wandered the streets or enjoyed a restaurant meal before returning to the farm.

Early one November morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared, after only six months as his farmhand. The railway station master, when questioned later that week, said he had not seen him. In fact no one in the community ever heard of him again. That is, until one evening, almost 20 years later, when Armand, opened an American sports magazine and came across a shocking headline, “Millionaire jockey, Stanley Vine, ex-British soldier and 5-time horse riding champion , began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada.”

61. Stanley Vine decided to go to Canada because ________.

A. he wanted to escape from war-torn France

B. he wanted to serve in the Canadian army

C. he couldn’t find a job in E ngland

D. he loved working as a farmhand

62. Which of the following is True according to the passage?

A. Stanley joined the French army when he was 18 years old.

B. On the farm Stanley had to milk the cows 14 times a week.

C. The Lapine family were rich but cruel to Stanley.

D. Stanley read about the job offer in a newspaper.

63. What can we infer from the passage?

A. When Stanley first met his employer, he tried to impress him but failed.

B. Stanley had never worked on a farm, so he made a lot of mistakes.

C. Stanley ’s weekly salary was not enough for him to live on.

D. Stanley left the farm by train, without telling anyone why he did so.

64. What did Stanley like doing after work each day?

A. Hitch-hiking to different towns.

B. Caring for the farmer’s hor ses.

C. Wandering around the farm alone.

D. Preparing meals on the farm.

65. Why was Armand so astonished when he read about Stanley in the magazine?

A. He didn’t know Stanley had been a British soldier.

B. He had no idea Stanley had always been a wealthy man.

C. He didn’t know his father paid Stanley so little money.

D. He didn’t expect Stanley to become such a success.

Dear Jim,

Our friend Li Ming will leave for Shanghai to study, so we are going to have a get-together at 3:30 this Friday afternoon. He lives at No.225 Dongfeng Street and it is not very difficult to find your way to his home. Take a No.2 bus, the stop of which is on the left of your university, and get off at the second crossing where you can see a cinema across the street. Turn right at the corner, and you will find Dongfeng Street. Li Ming’s home is about 200 yards down the street on the right and t here is a post office opposite to Li Ming’s home.

Y ours,
