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

Britain’s seed bank, the only one in the world aiming to collect all of the planet’s wild plant species, has reached its goal of banking 10 percent by 2010．

考单招——上高职单招网

The Millennium Seed Bank Project, run by Kew Gardens—one of the oldest botanical gardens—will officially deposit the 24,200th species on Thursday, a pink, wild banana from China．

More than 50 countries are now on board with Kew’s giant task but vast places of the globe, including India and Brazil, still need to join in and donate seeds, director Paul Smith said．

The seed bank is one of the largest and most diverse in the world with more than 1．5 billion seeds．Its goal is to help protect the planet’s bio-diversity during a time of climate change．

The wild banana seed is under threat of extinction（灭绝） in southwest China from agricultural development．It is a vital food source for Asian elephants and important for growing bananas for human consumption．

Stored at minus-20 degrees centigrade, so they can last for thousands of years, the seeds await the day that scientists hope never comes—when the species no longer exist in the wild．

It is a race against time, Smith said, because in the last decade alone, 20 plants held in the bank have already been wiped out in the wild．He estimates that between a third and a quarter will become extinct this century．

"It is urgent and it is happening now．An area, the size of England, is cleared of primary vegetation（植被）every year．" Smith said．

Because most of the world’s food and medicines come from nature, protecting wild plant species is quite important, scientists say．There are already many other seed banks safeguarding food crops, which only account for 0.6 percent of plant diversity．

For Kew’s next goal—to collect a quarter of wild varieties by 2020—the botanists need 10 million pounds a year, or a further 100 million pounds on top of the 40 million they have already been granted．

56．What’s the final purpose of the Britain’s seed bank?

A．To collect enough money for the project．

B．To safeguard food crops．

C．To protect wild plants from extinction．

考单招——上高职单招网

D．To help scientists study wild plants．

57．The wild banana seed in China is in danger because of _______．A．the expanding of farming work B．the climate change in this area

C．the large number of Asian elephants D．human’s large consumption

58．We can learn from the passage that _______．

A．the seeds in the bank can be used now and then all over the world

B．India and Brazil haven’t joined in the Seed Bank Project at present

C．there is only one seed bank in the world at present

D．the wild plants in places like India and China will never die out 59．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 7 refe r to?

A．The extinction of plant species．B．The Millennium Seed Bank Project．C．Britain’s seed bank．D．Kew Gardens’ next goal．

60．Which of the following information isn’t mentioned in the passage?

A．The global partnership of collecting wild plant species．

B．The temperature condition of the conservative wild plant species．

C．The government’s financial support for the seed bank project．

D．Scientists’ concern on the extinct wild plant species．

B

Vans, Keds, Dollies—they sound like the names of rock bands, but if you have teenagers, you’ll know they’re actually the latest in teenage footwear．But experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future．

考单招——上高职单招网

Here, the experts identify the problems caused by teenagers’ shoe choice ．

KEDS/VANS

Slip-on shoes with elastic （弹性的）sides are particularly popular among teenage boys - with Keds and Vans the most sought-after brands ．

The main problem is that they are just too flat —so flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful ．

BALLET PUMPS

The worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes ．The problem is partly their flatness, as with Keds and Vans ．However ballet pumps, which have no string or heel, have other specific problems ．

“As the shoe has no fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing an awkward gait （步法）, this leads to short- and long-term problems such as calluses （茧子）, heel and knee pain ．”

WEDGES AND STILETTOS

These shoes can also cause problems with gait ．They may look good, but the heels on these are so high they can force the wearer’s body weight forward, making them very unstable ．

Teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with constant back pain ．

SCHOOL SHOES

So what do podiatrists （足科医生）have on their wish list, especially for everyday wear?

Something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on, with a

small heel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes, such as Clark’s, M arks & Spencer or Rhino ．

If your teen insists on wearing ‘bad ’ shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics （矫形器） in the shoes ．These support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often transform their walk and halt the damage ． 61．Of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems? A ．Marks & Spencer ． B ．Wedges & Stilettos ．

C ．Keds and Vans ．

D ．Ballet Pumps ．

62．Which pair of shoes may not be found on the podiatrists’ wish list?

63．The underlined word “halt” in the last paragraph probably means _______．

A ．increase

B ．worsen

C ．stop

D ．cure

64．From this passage we can infer _______． A ．trendy shoes may ruin teenagers’ health

B ．fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them

C ．

experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes

考单招——上高职单招网

D．podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoes

65．In which column of Mail Online can you find this passage?

A．Sports．B．Science．C．Health．D．Shopping．

C

We’ve used t he wind as an energy source for a long time．The

Babylonians and Chinese were using wind power to pump water

for irrigating crops 4,000 years ago, and sailing boats were around

long before that．Wind power was used in the Middle Ages, in Europe,

to grind（磨碎） corn, which is where the term "windmill" comes from．We can use the energy in the wind by building a tall tower, with a large propellor on the top．The wind blows the propellor round, which turns a generator to produce electricity．

We tend to build many of these towers together, to make a

"wind farm" and produce more electricity．The more towers,

the more wind, and the larger the propellors, the more electricity

we can make．It’s only worth building wind farms in places

that have strong, steady winds, although boats and caravans（大篷车）increasingly have small wind generators to help keep their batteries charged．The best places for wind farms are in coastal areas, at the tops of rounded hills, open plains and gaps in mountains—places where the wind is strong and reliable．Some are offshore．To be worthwhile, you need an average wind speed of around 25 km/h．Most wind farms in the UK are in Cornwall or Wales．Isolated places such as farms may have their own wind generators．In California, several “wind farms” supply electricity to homes around Los Angeles．

The propellors are large, to obtain energy from the largest possible volume of air．The blades can be angled to cope with varying wind speeds．Some designs use vertical turbines（垂直涡轮机）, which don’t need to be turned to face the

考单招——上高职单招网

wind．The towers are tall, to get the propellors as high as possible, up to where the wind is stronger．This means that the land beneath can still be used for farming．

66．The first paragraph aims to introduce to us _______．

A．the function of wind power B．the source of wind power

C．the nations using wind power D．the history of using wind power

67．How does a wind power work?

A．The generator turns the propeller blades and produce electricity．

B．The tall tower helps turn the energy in the air into electricity．

C．Warm air rises and makes the propellor move round．

D．The propellor blown round by wind turns the generator to produce electricity．

68．The best places for building the wind farm are places where _______．

A．boats and caravans can often be seen B．isolated farms don’t have enough electricity

C．there are less human activities D．the wind is strong and reliable

69．We can infer from the passage that _______．

A．wind farms will not take up too much farming land

B．wind farms need no fuel because wind is free

C．the blades can be angled to turn to face the wind wherever it comes from

D．the higher and larger the towers are, the stronger the wind is

70．What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A．Where to build a wind farm．B．ABC of the using of wind energy．

C．How to make best use of wind．D．Wind energy is the best energy．

Grammy nominated （格莱美奖提名）artist and globally admired DJ and Producer Paul van Dyk continues to lead the electronic music charts and appears at the highpoint of every Top DJ list across the globe．PvD, as his fans have nicknamed him, is currently ranked the World’s No．1 DJ by DJ Magazine’s “Top 100 DJs poll” for the second successive year．

第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，共15分）

阅读下面短文，请根据短文后的要求进行答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）

[1]Compared to people with bad attitudes，people are less likely to suffer

from

colds．It’s possible that being positive helps the body fight il1nesses.

[2]In a previous study，people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least

likely to

develop coughs and other cold symptoms．People who showed positive feelings were also less likely to mention symptoms to their doctors，even when medical tests detected those symptoms．

[3]Those findings were interesting，but they didn’t prove that a person’s

attitude affects

whether he or she gets sick．Instead，it was still possible that a person’s underlying personality is what matters．

[4]Evidence suggests，for instance，that certain people are naturally more

likely to be outgoing

and optimistic，with high self-esteem and a sense of control over life．This would mean that who we are，not how we feel，ultimately decides our chances of catching colds.

[5]To figure out which mattered more，personality or emotions，the

researchers interviewed

193 healthy adults．The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected．Their symptoms，however，differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous fortnight．

考单招——上高职单招网

[6]Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus，for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy noses．On the other hand，those symptoms

struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive．

[7]Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have

a stronger effect on how healthy we are．For now，it can’t hurt to look on the bright side more often than not !

One possible version:

What an interesting picture it is! Sitting before a plate of zongzi, the boy is at a complete loss of how to unwrap them and eventually turns to a book for instructions! The picture is trying to convince us of a fact that many of the young are losing their basic hands-on ability in everyday life.

Many factors contribute to this phenomenon. Firstly, many children have been forced to focus on their school work only, having little or no space to experience things in real life. Secondly, parents are over-protective. They take over almost all their children’s life. Thirdly, the Internet and certain books provide actually everything we need. It is not surprising for children to develop dependence on them for help.

From where I stand, giving children chances to do thins for themselves is the only remedy. Anyway, nobody can learn to swim without jumping into water.
