第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下面短文，从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
When Russell Lyons volunteered for the first time, he read Goodnight Moon to a class of San Diego preschoolers. And it wasn’t reading－he’d memorized the book and was reciting it out loud. He was 4. Still, he said it felt good up there, in front of the other kids, lending a hand. He wanted more of that feeling.
Thirteen years later, he’s getting a lot of it. He’s on a five-month road trip across America－not sightseeing, but volunteering.
The University City resident has spent time at an animal reserve in Utah, a women’s shelter in St. Louis, a soup kitchen in New York, a retirement home in Tucson. This week he’s in Los Angeles, at a program that supports disabled youth.
“I just like helping people and feeling that something I do is making a difference,” he said. He resists the idea that his “Do Good Adventure” is all that unusual. It bothers him that the media often describes young people as lazy, self-centered and materialistic. So he sees his trip as a chance to make a statement, too. “About 55 percent of teens do volunteer work, higher than the rate of adults,” he said, according to a 2002 study. “Not everybody knows that.”
Of course, some teens do volunteer work because it looks impressive on their college applications. Lyons said he mentioned his trip on his submissions. But charity work is a habit with him. Even before the cross country trip, he was volunteering abut 200 hours a year at various places. He’s made sandwiches for homeless families in Washington D.C.. He’s taught math to fifth-graders in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
He gets some of that drive from his mother, Leslye Lyons, who has been involved in nonprofits for much of her life. She was there when her son “read” to the preschoolers－a memory of hers “that will never go away.”
56. What did Russell Lyons think of his first volunteering?
A. Creative.
B.Persuasive.
C. Impressive.
D. Imaginative.
57. The third paragraph is meant to .
A. indicate Russell Lyons is working as a volunteer
B. introduce some tourist attractions across America
C. appeal to volunteers to offer help to those in need
D. show volunteers are needed in all parts of America
58. According to Paragraph 4, Russell Lyons is against the idea that .
A. what he has done is common
B. most teens do volunteer work
C. young people don’t work hard
D. adults prefer to be volunteers
59. Russell Lyons has been doing volunteer work because .
A. it is necessary for college applications
B.it has become a natural part of his life
C. he likes the feeling of being praised
D. he ought to keep his promise to Mom
B
Gallows humor(黑色幽默) may seem like a mistake, or at least in poor taste. But psychologists say that gallows humor can be an important way to relieve stress.“Humor makes you feel in control and it can give you that feeling that everything is okay even when it’s not,”says James M.Jones, a psychology professor at the University of Delaware.
Psychologists say that just because you’re laughing doesn’t mean you’re wasting time. Occasional tease among colleagues, particularly if it is associated with the job, can inspire creativity, departmental cohesiveness(凝聚力) and performance.
“There are a lot of stresses out there,”says Ed Dunkelblau, a psychologist in Chicago.“Gallows humor is a way of making difficult things a little less difficult.”
This is as long as the humor is used for the right purpose. The main point of it should be inspiring people—not laughing at them. “Anything that would lift morale(士气) in terms of the company would be good humor,”says Thierry Guedj, a professor.
You want to give your employees and co-workers a sense of belonging, so don’t make observations that are aggressive. Most obviously, Dr. Guedj says, don’t make comments about people’s physical appearance or faith. If you have any doubt about its appropriateness, don’t go through with it.
Or you can take aim at the person that you know won’t be offended(冒犯): yourself. “If there’s going to be a joke or story, it should be you,”Mr Dunkelblau says.
“People with the ability to laugh at themselves can give other people
permission to laugh at themselves, too,”Mr Jones says.“And if you can laugh at yourself, you feel better about yourself.”
60.According to the passage, gallows humor has the following functions EXCEPT .
A.leading to a big mistake
B.reducing pressure
C.making people more creative
D.improving performance
61.What is Ed Dunkelblau’s attitude towards gallows humor?
A.Negative.
B.Positive.
C.Neutral.
D.Uncertain.
62.When people use gallows humor, they should .
A.observe who is aggressive
B.show a sense of belonging
C.doubt about the result of humor
D.try to avoid involving private things
63.What can we infer from the passage?
A.People tend to laugh at others rather than themselves.
https://www.360docs.net/doc/4014150952.html,ughing at yourself can make others free from stress.
C.People can’t avoid offending others with gallows humor.
D.People who laugh at themselves are easy to gain others’ permission.

This summer, experience the true meaning of awe(敬畏). Feel the sudden excitement through your body. And blog it all in real time for your friends back home. On a Discovery Student Adventure you will have the chance to jump the tourist barriers and enter places few travelers go, the true sites where amazing cultures flourish beyond the tourist’s stare.
Once there, you won’t idly observe; you’ll launch into the daily life of the locals, trying new customs, sharing laughs, and sampling interesting meals. You’ll even have the opportunity to give back, participating in local efforts to replant the rainforest; save the wombat’s habitat; or researching the Great Barrier Reef-just to name a few.

Encouraging pupils to keep noise to a minimum should be a valuable component of all children’s education, according to a new research.
Dr.Helen Lees, from Stirling University’s school of education, says that “enforced(强制的) silence”is seen as a punishment and often acts to suppress children’s natural ability. But she says that teaching children about the benefits of “enforced silence”－deliberate stillness that gives them the opportunity to focus and reflect in a stress-free environment－can have a significant effect on pupils’ concentration and behavior.
It is the latest in a string of researches to establish a link between the classroom environment and pupils’ academic ability.
A study almost a decade ago in London found that children’s exam results were cut by as much as a third if they were taught in noisy classrooms. Teaching unions have also called for a limit of 26℃to be put on classroom temperatures because teachers and pupils struggle to work in hot conditions, and some educationalists claim that too much clutter(杂乱的东西) on classroom walls can prevent children from concentrating.
Dr. Less said, “When we take some research on school settings and put it all together, what we see is that education without silence does not make much sense. In areas of better learning outcomes, better self-confidence and well-being measures,
enforced silence in a person’s life and an individual’s education is shown throughout the relevant research to be a benefit.”
Dozens of schools across Britain have already introduced periods of “reflective silence” into the timetable.
Kevin Houston, head of Sheringdale Primary, south London, has just introduced a minute’s silence at the start of twice-weekly meetings in which children are taught breathing techniques and encouraged to reflect. The school plans to introduce it into classrooms every day.
68. According to Dr. Helen Lees, “enforced silence”.
A. is an effective way of punishment
B. does not make much sense in class
C. can improve pupils’ confidence
D. makes pupils more creative
69. The underlined word “suppress” in the second paragraph probably means “”.
A.uncover
B. improve
C. apply
D. prevent
70. What can be inferred from the research on school settings?
A. Students are more active if taught in noisy classrooms.
B. Silence makes a great difference to pupils.
C. Clutter on the walls can help students concentrate.
D. Most schools are not satisfactory in terms of classroom temperatures.
71. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Arranging classroom settings benefits studies
B. Achieving silence is beneficial for people
C. Keeping quiet in class improves academic performance
D. Using enforced silence is effective punishment

“Ten years ago I could never have imagined I’d be doing this,”says Greg Pal,33,a former software executive. “I mean ,this is essentially agriculture ,right? But the people I talk to, especially the ones coming out of business school , think this is the one hot area everyone wants to get into .”
H e means bugs. To be more accurate, the genetic(基因的) change of bugs---very, very small ones---so that when they feed on agricultural waste such as woodchip or wheat straw ,they do something extraordinary . They excrete (排泄) crude oil.
Unbelievably ,this is not science fiction .Mr. Pal holds up a small cup of bug excretion that could ,in theory ,be poured into the tank of the big Lexus SUX next to us .Not that Mr. Pal was willing to risk it just yet .He gives it a month before the first vehicle is filled up with what he calls ”renewable petroleum ”.After that ,he smiles ,”It’s a brave new world.”
Mr. Pal is a senior director of LS9,one of several companies in or near Silicon Valley.The company is not interested in using corn as material ,given the much-advertised problems created by using food crops for fuel .Instead ,different types of agricultural waste will be used according to whatever makes sense for the local climate and economy :wheat straw in California ,for example ,or woodchip in the south.
Are Americans ready to be putting genetically changed bug excretion in their cars? “It’s not the same as with food,”Mr. Pal say .“We are putting these bacteria in a very isolated container. Their entire universe is in that tank .When we’ve done with them .they are destroyed.”
“Besides ”,he says ,”there is greater good being served.”“I have two children, and climate change is something that they are going to face .The energy crisis is something that they are going to face .We have a collective responsibility to do this.”
72.Greg Pal used to .
A. have great interest in bugs
B. major in agriculture
C. be engaged in developing software
D. study in a business school
73.To make the bugs excrete crude oil, Greg Pal has to ..
A. keep them in an isolated tank
B. change their genes first
C. change their usual diet first
D. kill them for bacteria
74.We can infer from the passage that .
A. it is a very complex process for bugs to produce oil
B. it is not worthwhile for Mr. Pal to do the experiment
C. it is safe to use the excretion produced by bugs
D. it is necessary to use bugs to produce crude oil
75.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Bugs Eat Waste and Excrete Petrol
B. Waste Turns into Crude Oil
C.A Promising Business
D. Software Executive Turned to Bugs

As is shown in the picture above,different parents have different expectations of children.Some parents are rich but they don’t have much education.So they hope that their children can go to college to be well-educated.For some, things are just the opposite.They want their children to make money. ks5u
My parents,though they are poor,don’t wish me to make money at an early time. They say school education is vital for a poor family.Qualitied education is the first wise choice,which later makes a promising future.
I’m completely for what my parents expect of me. I believe wisdom in the mind is better than money in the hand. To live up to my parents’ dreams,I will make every effort to be a wise learner and a brave discoverer in the future.
