第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

The truth in other words

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”

The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”

What he had written was : “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.             The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.

There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.

The first is : Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can.

The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!

56. The man wrote some words on one side of the boy’s sign because       .

A. he thought that the blind boy didn’t know how to write

B. he wanted to prove that the boy was really blind

C. he thought that the boy couldn’t get any money

D. he wanted to help the poor blind boy

57. The changed sign worked better than the original one because        .

A. the original sign told people to do things, which people don’t like

B. the second sign made people see their health as a gift, which made them willing to help

C. the original sign pointed out a kind of suffering that people don’t care about at all

D. the second sign drew people’s attention to another problem the boy had

58. We can learn from the story that the man who rewrote the sign was        .

A. creative      B. patient       C. funny      D. curious

59. The story shows us that        .

A. thinking in a different way can get us out of trouble

B. learning to be thankful for what we have may help us to live happier lives

C. creative thinking may bring us better results

D. being kind and respectful will encourage blind people to help themselves

Huge global interest in “the best job in the world”—earning good money for lazing on a paradise(天堂) island for 6 months — has crashed the Australian website where it is advertised.

The job pays 150,000 Australian dollars (about 100,000 US dollars) and includes free airfares from the successful candidate’s home country to tropical Hamilton Island on the famous Great Barrier Reef. In return, the winner will be expected to have as much fun as he or she can — soaking up the sun, swimming, snorkeling, sailing—and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.

The successful candidate—who will stay rent—free in a multi-million-dollar three-bedroom beach home—must be over 18, a “fantastic and charismatic” communicator, and able to speak and write English.

The campaign is a key element in a drive to promote the northeastern Australian state’s 18-billion-dollars-a-year tourism industry during the tough global economic climate, officials say. And they are at pains to stress that it is “a real job”.

The successful applicants will “also have to talk to media from time to time about what they’re doing so they can’t be too shy and they’ll have to love the sea, the sun, the outdoors,” said acting state Premier Paul Lucas. “The fact that they will be paid to explore the islands of the great Barrier Reef, swim, snorkel and generally live the Queensland lifestyle makes this undoubtedly the best job in the world.”

60. The Australian website was crashed because          .

A. some people destroyed it         B. the website was clicked very frequently

61. To apply for the job, the person is supposed         .

Recently, my class went on a three-day trip from Shanghai to Nanjing with only 200 yuan. It was fun and inspiring. We left for Nanjing early in the morning (4:52 a.m. on March 19) by train. Unfortunately, because the tickets were difficult to get, we took the train without seats. The carriage quickly became crowded with students. We stood on the train for over five hours until we arrived at our destination —Nanjing. By that time we all understood how hard it is for migrant workers to return home from a big city.

We had an educational campaign in front of the Memorial Hall to the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders on the first day. We all felt the heavy weight of history as we walked quietly around the Memorial Hall. Relics of the war on display frightened and shocked us. We could imagine how hard life must have been for the Chinese people at that time.

On the second day we were divided into groups of seven to nine students. We were assigned to do research about the city, so we had to visit local people and talk with them. As we were told not to take taxis, we traveled around the city by bus or subway. At the end of the day, we were so tired that no one touched the remote control of the television in our bedroom. However, we were all happy that we had learned to get around a strange city and that we understood Nanjing more.

On the last day we went to Yuhuatai. Some students handed in applications to join the Communist Party there. We learnt about the martyrs(烈士) stories and most of us were impressed by their noble spirits. They sacrificed their lives but they won great respect.

Our three days soon came to an end. Sitting on the train back to Shanhai, we happily shared our adventures in Nanjing. Though we were tired, it was a really meaningful trip.

64. How did the students find their three-day trip in Nanjing?         .

A. It was funny but difficult        B. It was happy but tiring

C. It was tiring and meaningless     D. It was inspiring and meaningful

65. What description is the best for the fourth paragraphs?         .

A. A happy ending.             B. Noble spirits.

C. A hard beginning.             D. Tough living.

66. What is the right time order during their three-day trip in Nanjing?          .

A. having an educational campaign→doing research→going to Yuhuatai

B. leaving for Nanjing→doing research→going to Yuhuatai

C. having an educational campaign→doing research→sharing adventures

D. getting tickets for traveling→having an educational campaign→going

to Yuhuatai

67. What can we infer from the trip on the first day in Nanjing?        .

A. China’s history in the thirties is miserable

B. The students were too frightened and shocked to go on visiting

C. What hard lives the Chinese people lived

D. Some great Chinese people should be respected

If you are human, you can’t help but experience times when everything seems to be going wrong and you feel as if your life is completely out of control. It is during those “down times” that words of encouragement from family, friends, co-workers or even strangers can lighten your spirits. It is also during those times that destructive words can sink you deeper and deeper into depression.

For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit （坑）. All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out.

The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety.

When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting at him to simply quit. The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do choose the chance to say something positive! Don’t let those opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean to someone else.

68. The first paragraph tells us that words play an important part especially when         .

A. we stay with our family, friends and co-workers

B. we hear strangers say something to us

C. we get through hard times in life

D. we make some big mistakes

69. The underlined phrase “took heed of ” had the similar meaning with “     ”.

A. acted according to            B. had some doubt

C. held on to                   D. got used to

70. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety. That’s because        .

A. he struggled to prove that they were wrong

B. he thought they were encouraging him

C. he was angry with what they said

D. he didn’t want to let them down

71. After reading the passage, readers should learn a lesson that        .

A. we can use encouraging words to help others out

B. having a positive attitude is important in life

C. never give up until we win   D. we must believe in ourselves rather than others

3D comes home

Have you had this experience? You are watching a movie. A man is shooting on the screen. The picture is so real that you think he is shooting at you. Or a car is speeding on the screen and at one point you are afraid it will hit you.

Three-dimensional (3D)films use special technology to make pictures seem more real and exciting than two-dimensional ones. Two popular movies in the cinema this year, UP and Ice Age; Dawn of the Dinosaurs both use 3D technology.

So far we can only see 3D films in the cinema with a special screen and projector. But soon, we will be able to watch them in our living rooms. Last month, the Japanese company Sony told reporters that it plans to bring 3D televisions to homes in 2010. The company is also hoping to make other products with 3D, like laptops and PS3.

“      The 3D train is on the track, and we are ready to drive it home,” said Sony President Sir Howard Stringer.

How 3D technology works

Three dimensional movies and TV programs are fun to watch, but do you know how they are made? It is much easier to understand if we do an experiment.

Hold one of your fingers up at arms length and close one eye. Then try closing the other eye. As you switch between open eyes you should see your finger “jumping” left and right against the background.

This happens because our two eyes are about 4 cm away from each other. The separation causes each eye to see the world from a different angle. The brain puts these two views together. What you see becomes three-dimensional.

Three dimensional movies are made using two video cameras at the same time, which creates two different images. When the movie plays in a cinema, two projectors put the two images on the screen. With a pair of 3D glasses, the two images are separated and each image only enters one eye. Your brain puts the two pictures back together, and the pictures on the screen become three-dimensional.

72. What does the sentence “The 3D train is on the track, and we are ready to drive it home” mean?           .

A. They’ve got a train to take 3D films back home

B. They are ready to bring 3D technology to homes

C. They have no more work to do on 3D technology

D. They are not sure about the future of 3D films

73. According to the text, 3D films       .

A. use advanced technology to make special sound effects.

B. are less real than ordinary films, but more exciting.

C. can only be seen in the cinema at the moment.

D. will take the place of 2D films in the near future.

74. From the text, we know that 3D technology        .

A. works in a similar way to how our eyes see things.

B. is too expensive to be used in ordinary homes.

C. uses special video cameras and light effects

D. can be easy to experiment with

75. The passage is mainly about        .

A. how 3D films will develop in the future.

B. what makes 3D films so enjoyable

C. how 3D technology works and its future

D. what 3D technology needs and its future
