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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

If the Statue of Liberty is the icon of America and the Eiffel Tower the most featured land-mark of France, the sail-shaped Sydney Opera House can best symbolize a continental country in the South Hemisphere, Australia.

As one of the world s most recognizable buildings, the Opera House draws some 7.5 million visitors each year. But its designer, Danish architect Jorn Utzon, never saw it finished in his lifetime. He passed away on November 29, 2008 aged 90.

Utzon s legendary connection with Sydney started in 1956 when he read about the Opera House competition in a Swedish architecture magazine. He spent six months designing a building with sail-like roofs, their geometry(表面形状), he said, came from the sections of an orange.

He won the competition and began work on the great structure. But in a storm of controversy(争议) over budget overrun(超支) and delays, Utzon quit the project in1966. He never returned to Australia to see his revolutionary concept as a finished building.

“The real loss in the Sydney Opera House project is not the huge cost overrun. It is the controversy it created that kept Utzon from building more masterpieces,” wrote Bent Flyvbjerg, a professor of planning at Aalborg University in Denmark, in Harvard Design Magazine in 2005. In recent years, Australian organizations tried to heal(弥补) the breach(裂痕). In 2002, Utzon was invited to design the inside renovations(修缮) that would bring the building closer to his original vision.

His son Jan traveled to Australia to carry out the work. And in 2003, Utzon received an

江苏省姜堰中学高三英语第一次学情检查

honorary doctorate(博士头衔) from the University of Sydney (Jan took his place at the ceremony).

When he was accepting the honorary doctorate in 2003, Jan said the fact that his father had never visited the Opera House did not mean he had not experienced the building. “As its creator, he just has to close his eyes to see it,” he said.

56. According to Bent Flyvbjerg, the Sydney Opera House project ________.

A. failed to reach the standard its designer had set

B. ruined Utzon s future as an even greater architecture

C. had to go through renovation again and again

D. earned Utzon both reputation and honors

57. Which is NOT true according to the article?

A. The Sydney Opera House cost a lot more than the budget.

B. An honorary doctorate was offered to Utzon as a friendly gesture.

C. Utzon s idea of the Sydney Opera House came from the sections of an orange.

D. There was a huge controversy over the structure of the Sydney Opera House.

58. From the passage, we can see that Utzon ________.

A. was the designer so he knew its every detail by heart

B. hated to see his design changed and finished by others

C. was willing to visit the opera house but wasn t offered a chance

D. was heartbroken and didn t want to see the building for himself

B

An old English saying goes: Cold hands, warm heart. It is generally used to describe how a cool outlook often disguises(伪装) a kind heart. However, Yale University researchers seem to disapprove of the old saying. They found how physically warm you are has a direct relation to how nice you are to people.

To test the theory, the scientists carried out two studies involving a total of 94 undergraduates.

For the first they gave half the unwitting(不知情的) participants a glass of hot or cold coffee and then asked what they thought of a stranger after a brief meeting. They found that holding a hot cup of coffee led people to judge the stranger to be a “warmer” person, in terms of generosity and kindness, compared to a group of people who held a cup of iced coffee.

In the second study the researchers had people, who thought they were evaluating a product, hold either hot pads(护垫) or cold pads. Then they give the participants a choice of reward for participating in the study: either a gift for a friend, or a reward for themselves. The study found that people who held the hot pad were more likely to choose the gift for a friend, and people who held the cold pack were more likely to choose the reward for themselves.

“It appears that the effect of physical temperature is not just on how we see others, it affects our own behavior as well,” said Professor John Bargh, a psychologist who carried out the study. “Physical warmth can make us see others as warmer people, but also causes us to be

江苏省姜堰中学高三英语第一次学情检查

warmer---more generous and trusting---as well.”

The researchers believe the effect relates to childhood when emotional warmth given by a parent was often accompanied by the physical warmth of being held or hugged.

59. The article was written mainly to tell us that __________.

A. scientists must use data to back up their findings

B. if people are physically warm, they will probably be nice to others.

C. what kind of person you are determines your attitude towards others

D. people s appearances will disguise what they think in their minds

60. How will the physical warmth cause the participants to be towards others?

A. Generous, curious and merciful. B. Generous, trusting and loyal.

C. Trusting, friendly and generous. D. Kind, thoughtful and selfish.

61. The Yale researchers tested the theory by __________.

A. asking participants to evaluate certain products

B. conducting a survey among 94 undergraduates

C. asking participants what they thought of a stranger after a brief meeting

D. finding out participants reactions to others when holding either hot or cold things

62. What can we conclude from the passage?

A. Physical temperature plays a role in both how we see others and how we behave.

B. The participants holding the hot pads preferred to choose the reward for themselves.

C. We shouldn t judge people just by their cool outlook.

D. How emotionally warm you are directly relates to your childhood experiences.

C

Not everyone goes to university after high school graduation. Some work, others join the military and an increasing number worldwide are emulating (效仿) the Brits, taking a “gap year” to travel or do community service, in their own countries or abroad. They re studying sharks off the Australian coast, building schools in Mexico and learning Spanish or Italian.

The concept of a gap year may not be new, but the recent surge(涌现) of interest certainly is, says California s Campolindo High School college counselor Gwenly Carrel. Some students are delaying their admissions. Others, who didn t get into the college of their choice, are taking a year to explore new frontiers before reapplying.

“Students are choosing to take a breather, instead of just stepping onto the treadmill (跑步机),” Carrel says. “Kids are thinking, I m not sure what I m going to do. They re going and exploring some of their interests. They re getting an experience they can take to the school they finally go to.”

It s an idea actively encouraged by college administrators. Princeton University just launched a “bridge year” program that will send 10 percent of its incoming class to do volunteer work abroad, starting in 2009. Princeton President Shirley Tilghman described it as “cleansing (清理) the interest of high school, giving them a year to regroup.”

And Harvard not only offers delays, but its admissions department has spent the last 30

江苏省姜堰中学高三英语第一次学情检查

years urging incoming students to take a gap year.

“Many speak of their year away as a life-altering (改变生活的) experience or a turning point ,” says Harvard admissions director Marlyn McGrath Lewis. “Many come to college with new visions of their academic plans, their extracurricular(课外的) pursuits and the career possibilities they observed in their year away.”

Some 50 to 70 Harvard freshmen take the gap option each year. Those numbers are likely to shoot upward, as Princeton s ideas sweep through the Ivy League and are close to an already fast-growing phenomenon.

63. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Princeton University is the first to launch a “bridge year”.

B. Many high school graduates like studying sharks off the coast.

C. The concept of a gap year is popular with high school graduates.

D. Nowadays, most high school graduates don t like to go to college.

64. Who will most probably be interested in the passage except ___________?

A. primary school teachers B. parents of high school graduates

C. high school graduates D. college administrators

65. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason why some high school graduates want to take a year away before going to college?

A. They want to get some experience of their interests.

B. They want to get enough money to go to college.

C. They want to explore new fields they are interested in.

D. They are not sure what their future career might be.

66. By saying “Students are choosing to take a breather, instead of just stepping onto the treadmill”, Carrel means that ___________.

A. the concept of a gap year is like new fresh air

B. college administrators support the idea of a gap year

C. students are taking a break and not rushing to continue their education

D. this gap year will help students relax and prepare them better for the stressful university life

D

If you have a fever, headache and runny nose, you might go to Google and type in the words “flu symptoms” to see whether you ve come down with the disease.

Google knows that you might do something like that, and it also knows which state you re in if you are in the United States. Now, it s putting that information together in a tool that could find out flu outbreaks faster than traditional systems currently in use, according to CNN report. It is called Google Flu Trends.

“What s exciting about Flu Trends is that it lets anybody---doctors, health officials, moms with sick children---learn about the current flu activity level in their own state based on the data that s coming in this week,” said Jeremy Ginsberg, the lead engineer who developed the tool.

The tool operates on the idea that there s likely to be a flu outbreak in states where

江苏省姜堰中学高三英语第一次学情检查

flu-related search terms are currently popular.

To test the accuracy of the data, Google compared its figures against statistics filed(提交) over the past five years by the US Centers for Disease Control. It has a network of 1,500 doctors across the US who provide weekly reports on the number of patients complaining of flu-like symptoms.

“We found we could highly accurately estimate what the flu activity levels would be in those years,” Ginsberg said. They also found that the Google statistics, which can be gathered daily, were up to two weeks ahead of the government s data. The government s data took time to collect because it came from so many doctors.

The ability to speed up the response of health services could prove invaluable when a serious outbreak happens.

The results of Google s comparisons with official health statistics will be published in the science journal Nature.

Google hopes to extend the service to other countries, and may in time include other illnesses. At present, the flu data is given for each of the 50 American states.

The company says there are no privacy issues involved as the trends are gathered through combining millions of anonymous(匿名的) searches.

67. What is Google Flu Trends?

A. A tool to identify flu symptoms. B. An organization for disease control.

C. A network of 1,500 doctors. D. A system to estimate flu activity levels.

68. What led to the development of Google Flu Trends?

A. The fact that a lot of people use online information every day.

B. The idea that a flu outbreak is likely where flu-related search terms are popular.

C. The need to have a faster system than traditional ones currently in use by the government.

D. The patients complaining of flu-like symptoms.

69. The most important reason for Google Flu Trends accurate and reliable estimates is that _____.

A. it bases its estimates on Google flu-related search data

B. it benefits a lot from the official data

C. it has lots of excellent doctors

D. it can identify the flu symptoms

70. Which is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The government s data mentioned in the passage came from a network of 1,500 doctors across the US.

B. Google Flu Trends reports can be one or two weeks ahead of those by the government.

C. Google Flu Trends estimates prove quite accurate and reliable.

D. Anyone around the world can enjoy the service of Google Flu Trends.

第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。 注意：每空一词。

With the development of our modern society, people s living conditions become much more comfortable. But along with intense competition, parents have less time to consider children s needs in all-round. One method to solve this contradiction is to give children some pocket money. Pocket money is useful to children. But whether the children are considerate enough to make correct use of this money? There are two viewpoints about the pocket money. Some people think that giving children pocket money will make them become luxurious. Others think that will not lead to such disadvantage. In my opinion, both of them are partially reasonable.

Some believe that giving children pocket money really has many advantages. With pocket money, children can buy their daily necessities such as pencils, little toys, and snack food they like. It will give children a certain freedom to select what they want, make them aware of rules of the equivalent exchange. Since time to parents is very precious, giving pocket money to children help them to save time spent in shopping, but used in busy working and earning money. Others insist that there are undoubtedly some disadvantages in spending pocket money. First, young children do not know how to use pocket money appropriately, they possibly consume all the money to buy expensive merchandise that they like, and then ask for extra money from their parents. Some parents cosset(溺爱) their children, and always give them a large amount of pocket money. Such conditions will make children form the habit of wasting. Second, since adults do not supervise the procedure of shopping, children could probably buy something that is not suitable for their age, such as adult magazines.

Judging these two viewpoints above-mentioned, I think that parents should give their children a limited amount of pocket money. There are some preconditions: the amount of pocket money must be limited; the parents should instruct their children how to use the money moderately and what is suitable to them; for a costly merchandise(商品), parents themselves should take children to buy it. With these preconditions, pocket money will do no harm to their children.

As we all know, the World Heritage is the treasure of all mankind, and all of us have a responsibility to protect it. However, most of the world's natural and cultural heritage sites in China have been damaged by natural disasters and human activities. Worse still, most people in China do not realize the importance of protecting the World Heritage sites. So protecting the World Heritage has become more of a problem.

Here are some of my suggestions about how to protect the World Heritage. Firstly, we need firmer laws to protect it. Secondly, we can seek for more scientific ways and raise more money. Lastly, we should educate people, especially young children, to become aware of the importance of protecting the World Heritage as soon as possible.
