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, D中选出最佳选项。
A
Many people take it for granted that black is a color of bad things while white should always mean something good．This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity．However, that is not always the case．Did you know that the same one colour may mean differently in different places of the world?
In the English-speaking world, black is the colour of mourning．People wear black clothes at the funeral．Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed (流血)．Yellow is the word for fear．If you are afraid, you are yellow．Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world．In China and Korea white is the colour of mourning．In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence．In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.
Even within the English-speaking area it is not difficult to find colour contradictions (矛盾)．A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station．In Britain, however, a redcap is a military policeman．Both names are logical because both men wear red caps．Similarly, the British term for an American white collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker.
One does not have to cross an area to find color differences．Would you rather be red-blooded? If we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest．The expression \"blueblood\" comes from Spain, where some noble families proudly said that they had \"blue blood\"．But then why \"blue\" blood? Because they were fairskinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels (血管) stood out appearing blue. 56．Yellow is concerned with anger in _______． A．Russia B．Britain C．Germany D．China
57．The two meanings of the term \"redcap\" form a difference in _______． A．pronunciation B．climate C．logical relationship D．custom 58．Both Britain and America would probably agree that _______． A．black is the color of mourning B．a black-coated worker is employed in an office C．red stands for beauty and excellence D．a redcap is a porter in a station 59．The best title for this passage is _______． A．The Origin of Blue Blood B．The Development of the Symbolic Use of Colors C．Colors that Carry Bad Meanings D．The Meaning Concerned With Certain Colors
B
Feel tired lately? Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you．
Then, consider this: you might be in a state of subhealth(亚健康)．
Subhealth, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease．
According to the investigation(调查) by the National Health Organization,over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middle-aged or elderly．The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-week．
Symptoms(征兆)include a lack of energy, depression(压抑),slow reactions, insomnia(失眠),, and poor memory．Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs．
The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate（交替变化）work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities．
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar．They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements, vitamins that are important to the body．
Nutrition(营养)experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract(消化系统)．They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth． 60．According to this passage, which of the following is right? A．When you are in a state of subhealth, you should stay home and keep silent． B．When you are in a state of subhealth, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine． C．When you are in a state of subhealth, you should have yourself examined in foreign countries． D．When you are in a state of subhealth, you should find out the reasons and relax yourself．
61．Middle-aged people may be easy to get subhealth because _______． A．they have used up their energy B．they have lost their living hopes C．they have more pressure in life and work D．they begin to get older
62．The key to preventing you from falling into a state of subhealth is that you should _______． A．work hard B．sleep more C．form good living habits D．take more medicine

Tim Burton attempts to work his gothic magic ( 哥特式魔法) over one of the best loved stories of all time — Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland 《爱丽丝漫游奇境and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There》《爱丽丝镜中奇遇记》.
Alice, now 19, attends a party at a Victorian estate, only to find she is about to be proposed to by a rich suitor（求婚者）in front of hundreds of snooty（傲慢的）society types. She runs off, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland—a place she visited many years before, yet she doesn’t remember. The white rabbit claims to have come back for Alice because she is the only one who can slay（杀死)the Jabberwock, the beast who guards the Red Queen’s empire. Alice remains completely unaware of why she is in Wonderland, and is confused about the fact that she had once visited Wonderland years before.
Now, Wonderland has changed into a dark, scarier place than it used to be. Alice then embarks on an adventure of self discovery, and to save Wonderland from the Red Queen’s reign（统治）of terror（恐怖） with the help of her Wonderland friends.
67. The story Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was written by_________.
A．Tim Burton B．Lewis Carroll C．Alice D．the passage doesn’t tell us
68. Alice runs off because maybe___________.
A．she doesn’t like that party B．she is too snooty
C．she doesn’t like the suitor D．she wants to get married 69. In the last paragraph, the phrase “embarks on” means _________.
A．starts to do something B．gets onto a ship C．refuses to do something D．finds something 70. This passage would most likely to be found __________.
A．on a film poster B．in a government document( 文件，文献) C．in a novel D．in an entertainment（娱乐） magazine

Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.
If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.
Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.
If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance（表达）of information, correspondence（通信）, means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain (保持) a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.
When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.
This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.
71. In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is ________ than with children.
A. more difficult B. easier C. more uninteresting D. more interesting 72. The main idea of the second paragraph is ________.
A. the importance of friendship B. to make your feeling known to others C. the importance of communication D. the disagreement between generations
73. When parents and children are in communication, the key to a happy relationship is that ________.
A. children should always obey their parents B. they should be equal
C. parents play the leading part D. both make the opposite know their feelings
74. The example in this passage proves that ___________. A. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her B. Sophie is very polite to her parents
C. Sophie did well in explaining her being late
D. communication is the solution (解决办法) to misunderstanding 75. All the following statements are correct except “_______”. A. If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them know B. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing C. If you are not able to communicate, walk away D. Communication is a two-way deal

阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。（注意：每个空格只填一个单词）
In 2000, the world’s first mobile phones with cameras were put on the market in Japan. Two years later, these phones were released in Australia, Europe and the United States. A market research shows that there has been a sharp rise in worldwide sales from 80 million mobile camera phones in 2003 to 1.14 billion by 2013.
Camera phones have not only been used for entertainment. In Sweden, a grocer snapped(抢拍) a shot of a robber and downloaded the photograph to his computer, which allowed the police to catch the suspect. In Italy, the same thing was done when a shop owner snapped pictures of two robbers. In Wales, doctors send photos of X-rays to consult more experienced experts about medical treatment for their patients. In Japan, the police have set up a website for citizens to send pictures of suspicious（可疑的） activities.
Now, newspaper reporters can use camera phones to take pictures of important events. They can then send the pictures to their newspaper office. As the quality of camera phone pictures increases, we can expect to see camera phones used more and normal cameras used less. More people are using their camera phones to take pictures of their trips, or just small unexpected things that happen in their daily lives. They can then send these pictures to friends anywhere.
However, camera phones have also been used to commit crimes. To prevent spying, these phones are not allowed in government buildings in the United Kingdom. Some car companies don’t allow their employees to use their phones because they want to prevent some employees watching new car models and sensitive information secretly. In Italy, to prevent dishonest voting(投票), people are not allowed to use mobile phones while they vote. It appears that although there are many advantages to the new technology, we still have to be careful. Title: Camera Phones

The first step is to improve our appearance. We should always make sure that we dress well and smile warmly. In this way people will surely be
impressed by our confidence. Another important step is to build our character. We should always be honest and willing to help others whenever it is
