第三部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，然后从每题所给的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。
A.
If I see one more article about how wonderful alternative energy is compared to oil, I will flip(翻页). Alternative energy sources can be good---- very good in fact. And it?s pretty obvious that we?re going to need them, and that our dependence on oil is a Bad Thing. But accepting that does not mean accepting that any kind of alternative energy is a good thing.
To be a good thing, it has to have three properties: 1) It has to help reduce our dependence on oil, 2) It has to be no worse for the environment, and 3) It has to be economically practical. Many of the things praised meet one or even two of those properties. Solar panels, for example. They can reduce our need for oil, at least in certain regions, and they?re certainly not bad for the environment. But they?re expensive. If you spend the money to make your home solar-powered, you probably won?t get back your costs for at least 15 years, which approaches the lifespan of the panels.
Certainly we need to clean up our act big time and find workable sources of alternative energy. But we also have to keep in mind that every one of these alternative-energy sources comes at a cost, which is something people seem to forget. They hear the phrase “alternative energy” and automatically assume it?s got to be good. But green isn?t always good, and oil isn?t always bad.
One seemingly “green”technology that pops up again and again is electric cars. It is praised by well-meaning people as good for the environment and a way to reduce our oil dependence, especially as oil prices continue to rise.
Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about “ zero-emissions vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators. Generators are fueled by something---- usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal（地热的）plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars. It?s just because the coal is burned somewhere else that it looks clean. It is not. It?s as if the California Greens are covering their eyes ---- “ If I can?t see it, it?s not happening. “ Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas ( or another fue) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat ---- at the generator, through the transmission（传送）lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won?t get you nearly as far ---- so electric cars burn more fuel than gas- powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes; or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an
electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don?t use much of those energy sources.
In addition, electric cars? batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it?s a power plant, though, all the junk is in one lace. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
41. Which of the following statements will the writer support?
A. Any kind of alternative energy is a good thing.
B. Alternative energy is bound to take the place of oil.
C. People should have an objective view towards alternative energy.
D. Solar panel is a good example of alternative energy that meets three properties.
42. What does “ clueless” mean in Paragraph 7?
A. People see the California Greens everywhere.
B. People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles.
C. People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cells.
D. People there have no idea that so far electrically mainly comes from burning coal, oil,
etc.
43. What is the main idea for the text?
A. Green technology is not always green.
B. Alternative energy is economically practical.
C. Electric cars are not clean at all.
D. Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle.
44. According to the text, electric cars ___________.
A. are more environmentally friendly
B. burn more fuel than gas-powered ones
C. are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated
D. are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill
45. It can be inferred from the text that _________.
A. being green is good and should be encouraged in communication
B. electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning something
C. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment
D. electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins

Steve Jobs, Apple?s chief executive, made his first public appearance since going on medical leave six weeks ago, taking the stage at a San Francisco media event to introduce the iPad 2, the second generation of the company?s tablet computer.
Thin but energetic, Mr. Jobs showed off a thinner iPad. “ We?ve been working on this
product for a while and I just didn?t want to miss this day,” he said.
His absence has concerned investors, especially since the group has given no details of his condition. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2004 and had a liver transplant during almost six moths of medical leave in 2009. People close to him said last month his health had been changing.
Apple?s stock rose more than 2 percent in the minutes after Mr. Jobs began speaking, then gave up some of its gain as he detailed the iPad 2.
The iPad 2 will go on sale in black and white versions in the US on March 11 and in 26 other countries, including the UK and Germany, on March 25. The table is Apple?s biggest product launch since the iPhone three years ago, and is comparable to the iPhone as the most expected in Apple?s history.
Most of the improvements in the latest version had been expected, including front and rear-facing video, which allows video conferencing between iPads, Mac computers and the most recent iPhones and iPods, a larger speaker, a faster processor and other upgrades. The iPad 2 is one-third thinner than the original tablet and slightly lighter, with a 9.7-inch touchscreen. It can run movies, books, games and a complete range of applications. In the US it will work with AT&T and Verizon, the top two mobile carriers. The pricing will be the same to the 2010 iPad at its introduction, ranging from $499 to $829 in six models. But Apple dropped prices on the older iPad on Wednesday by $100 across the board.
Apple has made the most of its year-long head start in tablets, selling 15,000,000 units of the older iPad last year and taking about 85 percent of the market. Forrester predicted that the iPad 2 would clain 80 percent of the US market this year, or 20,000,000 out of 24,000,000 total shipped. This prediction was based on both the technical improvements to the iPad 2, and the distribution difficulties and higher prices for Apple?s rivals.
Motorola, BlackBerry maker Research in Motion, Samsung and others have brought out competing tablets, many based on Google?s Android software.
Mr. Jobs said the rest of the field was still catching up with the first iPad and their markets for applications designed for tablets had, at best, 100 small programs. This compares with 65,000 on Apple?s applications store.
46. Why are the investors of Apple worried according to the text?
A. Apple?s stock price changes a lot
B. Steve Jobs? health condition is not stable
C. The iPad 2 has some technical drawbacks
D. Apple faces strong competition from other companies.
47. In what respect are the iPad 2 and the 2010 iPad exactly alike?
A. the weight
B. the speaker
C. the thickness
D. the pricing at the introduction
48. How many tablet computers were sold in the market last year?
A. about 15,000,000
B. about 17,000,000
C. about 20,000,000
D. about 24,000,000
49. What makes Apple?s tablets superior to the competing tablets of other companies?
A. the low price
B. the Android software
C. the full kinds of models
D. the tens of thousands of applications
50. What is the best title for the text?
A. Jobs on Stage to Introduce iPad 2
B. iPad 2 Better than the Original
C. Best Applications for iPad 2
D. iPad 2 vs. Competitors
C
Mom was right! If you say thank you, for even the smallest gift or slightest show of kindness, you?ll feel happy.
Gratitude, says Robert A. Emmons, a professor or psychology at the University of California, is an important element of happiness. In his recent took, Thanks!, Emmons uses the first major study on gratitude to prove mom?s point. In acknowledging and developing this much-ignored expression of thankfulness, he explains how people have benefited---- even improved their health.
As one of the leading scholars of the positive psychology movement, he admits gratitude may be difficult to express. He advises you to begin by admitting that life is good and full of events and elements that make daily existence a wonder. Second, recognize that the source of life?s goodness is more than just you. That source may be your mom, a friend, partner, child, colleague at work or play, or any combination of these.
Gratitude is always other-directed, notes Emmons. You can be pleased or angry with yourself and feel guilty about doing something wrong, but you can never be grateful to or for yourself.
Expressing gratitude shouldn?t be a reaction; it should be a state of mind. To feel grateful when life is a breeze and you have more than you need is easy. To feel grateful in time of crisis---- anger, hatred and bitterness----is easier. Also, too many people are aware of life?s blessings only after these are lost.
It?s crisis and chaos ---- danger, disease, disability and death ---- that bring many individuals to realize just how dependent they are on others. Yet it?s the way each of us begins life and ends it. It?s too bad that so many people waste those decades in between labouring under the illusion they are self-sufficient, says Emmons.
The abundance of voices expressing gratitude from his studies of individuals with chronic health problems is many. But Emmons goes beyond his “groundbreaking” science to make his case for gratitude by including the inspirational writings of philosophers, novelists and saints, as well as the beliefs of various religions and their respective scriptures. Taken together, these observations are summed up quite nicely by famous humanist Albert Schweitzer, who said the secret of life is “giving thanks for everything.”
To enable and embrace gratitude, Emmons encourages the readers of Thanks! To keep a gratitude diary. He even provides easy-to-follow directions on how to practice and develop
gratitude.
I?m not a reader or advocate of self-help books, but I am thankful for the reference I found in a newspaper article to the research Emmons was conducting on gratitude involving organ donors and recipients. The chance discovery led me to this book.
Mom implied that kindness seems to find its way back to the giver because life really is all about giving, receiving and repaying. So I?ll pay attention to her professional advice and say: Thank you, professor Emmons.
51. What is the text mainly discussed?
A. There are many ways of being thankful.
B. Gratitude is important to happiness.
C. Mom is great for her being thankful.
D. Being thankful will keep you fit.
52. The author mentions Robert A. Emmons? book Thanks! In order to prove that ___.
A. Professor Emmons supports mom?s study on psychology.
B. mom is as great a psychologist as Professor Emmons.
C. Professor Emmons is a famous psychologist.
D. mom is right about her viewpoint on gratitude.
53. It will be easier for you to feel grateful when ___________.
A. you live a comfortable life
B. you receive gifts on your birthday
C. you get help during your hard times
D. you are congratulated on your success
54. What is the opinion of Professor Emmons?
A. It is enough to thank others orally.
B. Whether you are thankful is always up to you.
C. Remember to be thankful anytime and anywhere.
D. It is easier to be thankful for yourself than for others.
55. In the writer?s opinion, Emmons? book Thanks! On gratitude is _______.
A. one-sided
B. reasonable
C. puzzling
D. helpful

It?s 10:30 p.m. and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. He blinks twice, and the message on the screen becomes clear: “ R U awake?”
But the late-night text does not annoy Brandon. He gets frequent messages and calls, even after bedtime. And he can?t imagine life without them. “If I didn?t have a cell phone, I wouldn?t be able to talk to my friends or family as often,” he told TFK.
Brandon?s use of technology doesn?t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles in his room. With so many choices, it is no surprise that when he is not at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices. Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to 18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found. That?s about an hour more than
just five years ago.
The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.
“ These devices have opened up many more opportunities for young people to use media, whether it?s on the bus, on the way to school or waiting in line at the pizza parlor,”says Rideout.
Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. “ If you?ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?” Media expert Cheryl Olson says.
Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. “ It?s a matter of balance,” says Olson. “ You?ve got to work on it.”
Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. “It?s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply,” says Rideout.
Logan Jones, 11, of Maumelle, Arkansas, describes himself as a “game freak”. Still, he is glad not to have unlimited time with his PlayStation 2. “I?ll tell my mom I?m going to play a game, and she?ll say, …Okay, but only for 30 minutes,?”, Logan told TFK.
With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. “ Kids should try,” adds Rideout. “:But parents might have to step in sometimes.”
56. The text is mainly about kids? _________
A. cell phone use
B. various hobbies
C. favorite video games
D. using electronic devices
57. It can be learnt from the text that _________.
A. Brandon feels annoyed about his late-night message.
B. Olson is against teenagers? using mobile phones.
C. many teenagers lack friends in their middle school
D. kids have too many electronic devices to choose from
58. Which of the following is an example of multitasking?
A. Watching TV while using the computer
B. Talking on the phone while lying on the sofa.
C. Playing video games after having lunch.
D. Listening to loud music while relaxing.
59. The underlined phrase “in check” in the last paragraph can be replaced by ______.
A. in order
B. in store
C. in sight
D. in control
60. According to the text, Victoria Rideout would probably agree that kids should ____.
A. do homework while watching TV
B. do homework in a place without disturbance
C. spend more time on homework
D. have less homework

Study Tips and Techniques
If you often find yourself struggling with your studies, here are some useful study tips and techniques that can help you out …
61._____________
It is a common misconception that self-study can begin only after a particular topic or chapter is taught in class. You should start preparing for the class in advance. After attending the classes, it is of great importance that you have time to review the notes that you have taken during the class as well as try and read more about the subject on your own. Be it reference books, or e-books, try and hunt for more information about your subject so that you have a comprehensive view of the topics. Often while reading and self-studying, it happens that you come across doubts or questions that did not occur to you in the classroom. Try and answer these questions yourself with the help of books or the Internet, however in case you fail to answer, write down these questions so that you remember to clarify the questions in your next class.
62._____________
Yes, one of the important habits that one must acquire to enhance the studying process is involve themselves in group discussions about the subjects that you are studying. Group discussions can be a great way to broaden your viewpoint over important issues since group discussions give every group member a chance to voice their understanding , which might not necessarily be alike. Group discussions are thus a healthy and a rather informal way of exchanging information and discussing issues. Many teachers encourage the group discussion technique in their classroom as well.
63.______________
No matter how much people disapprove of the process and the timetables, it is a known fact that having a clear and detailed project makes it easier for a person to reach the goal. According to your convenience, map out your daily/weekly/monthly study. It is always better to have a weekly or a daily arrangement, so that abrupt changes in class schedules or
any other changes can be taken into consideration accordingly.
64._____________
Yes, there exist some species of students who burn the midnight oil. The studying process should be such that it leaves enough room for a student to join in entertainment activities and relaxation. Always chalk out a schedule that will not influence your sleep, your health, your sport/ entertainment activities and other routine tasks. Also studying a single subject at a stretch ( like an entire week or so ), can get boring, for this reason plan a schedule that helps your switch from one subject to another in enough time.
65.____________
Normally students get too caught up with the grades, the percentage and the entire marking system. Always remember that if you study with the aim of acquiring knowledge, the grades will be brighter. However if you just aim for the high grades, there is a chance you might get the grades, but you will miss out on acquiring comprehensive knowledge on a particular subject. Always study with the right point of view, and you will never have to worry about your grades. Knowledge is way beyond the grades.

One possible version:
Recently many people have suggested schools and universities keep their gymnasiums and playgrounds open in the holidays for citizens to take exercise. The common people welcome the suggestion warmly while many schools and universities are against it.
Supporters think that the government advocates all citizens should take exercise to keep fit, so schools and universities should provide space and facilities for the common people, and that healthy citizens can save the money spent on medical care or treatment.
However, many headmasters and presidents worry that will make it harder to keep the campus safe and that the facilities in gymnasiums might be damaged.

III. Reading Comprehension Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. B Kettlebells do not hurt people. People do. A kettlebell will get your respect – the easy way or the hard way. Here is the easy way. 1. Get a medical clearance. Get clearance, especially from an orthopedist and a cardiologist. The latter is no joking matter, since kettlebell training can be extremely intense. 2. Always be aware of your surroundings. Find a training area with a non-slippery surface on which you are not afraid to drop a kettlebell. The area must be clear of objects you might trip over – including other kettlebells – or that you might hit with a kettlebell. There should be no people or animals in a radius where you could injure them. 3. Train barefoot or wear shoes with a flat, thin sole and room for the toes to spread. Training barefoot is superior for health and performance reasons. If you must wear shoes, wear Converse Chuck Taylors, Vibram Five Fingers, or similar shoes that have thin soles and do not pinch the toes together. You have sensory receptors on the bottoms of your feet that make you stronger and improve balance and coordination. Wearing traditional shoes diminishes the ability of these receptors to work properly, and therefore inhibits performance and can increase the risk of injury. Go native. 4. Never contest for space with a kettlebell. Do not try to save a rep that has gone wrong. Guide the kettlebell to fall harmlessly, and move out of the way if necessary. And remember, quick feet are happy feet. 5. Practice all safety measures at all times. Respect every kettlebell, even the lightest one. Always use perfect form picking up and setting down a kettlebell. The set is not over until the bell is safely parked.
