第三部分阅读理解(共20小题; 每小题2分, 满分40分)
A
Lockers(储物柜)have been the symbol of American high school for decades. But
walk down any hallway of the new Germantown High School in Madison County,
Mississippi, and you won’t spot a single locker.
New technology such as e-books, interactive(互动的)assignments and Web-based
learning is making lockers in American high school a thing of the past.
Officials from schools that have gone lockerless listed several benefits: less noise,
less delay and an increased sense of safety. “It’s all to create an environment that’s
student-friendly”, said Ronnie McGehee, chief official of the Madison County School District.
Getting rid of lockers can also cut hundreds of thousands in construction costs. Madison County saved $200, 000 by not including lockers in the new high school, McGehee said.
It is also believed that removing lockers could help prevent school violence. “Lockers give kids a place to hi de things”, said Mike Nelson, founder of a safety-training group. Nelson believes that some school shootings and other incidents could have been prevented if there had been no lockers.
However, Andrew Booth, a 10th-grader at Germantown High, said there are some disadvantages of not having a locker. “It can make your book bag really heavy”, he said. The 16-year-old has four textbooks “plus notebooks and a binder(活页夹)”to carry to school each day.
He said some teachers have shelves at the back of the classroom on which students can leave their bags. Others provide an extra set of textbooks in the classroom, so students don’t have to carry books from home.
New York architect Peter Lippman said schools will have to address such concerns and find ways to give students a “sense of space”. “If you are carrying books around, it does limit your flexibility in the classrooms”, he said. Lippman said he would like to see schools starting to use the new free space to provide less structured learning opportunities for students, including gathering areas and learning centers. “If you think about a school with just rows of lockers—there’s nowhere for learning opportunities in that”, he said.
51. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The history and development of lockers in US high schools.
B. The influence of new technology on some US high schools.
C. The trend of getting rid of lockers in US high schools.
D. The advantages and disadvantages of lockers in US high schools.
52. According to the text, lockers are being taken away from US high schools.
A. due to the spread of new technology
B. in response to parents’ requests
C. for the students’ security at school
D. to save construction costs
53. What is Andrew Booth’s attitude to removing lockers?
A. Complaining.
B. Approving.
C. Ignorant.
D. Favorable.
54. What does Lippman suggest schools that have removed lockers should do?
A. Give students as much freedom as possible in the classroom.
B. Provide students with an extra set of textbooks in the classroom.
C. Make more learning opportunities for students in the new free space.
D. Put shelves at the back of the classroom for students to leave their bags.
B
When a child is told he is “uncool”, it can be very painful. He may say he doesn’t care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it’s not there. Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, “Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn’t matter! ”Children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, “I’m going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school. ”
If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child’s popularity in the group by showing that he val ues that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc. .
There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to have meals and then serve the dishes they consider. When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.
What you can do is give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build a real friendship of his own.
55. A child who has been informed of being “uncool” may.
A. care nothing about it
B. do something uncool on purpose
C. develop a sense of anger
D. pretend to get hurt very much
56. A teacher can help an unpopular child by.
A. seeing the child as the teacher’s favorite
B. asking the child to do something for partners
C. forcing other children to make friends with the child
D. offering the child chances to show his good qualities
57. How can parents help their child fit in better?
A. By cooking delicious food for him.
B. By being kind to his schoolmates.
C. By for cing him to invite friends home.
D. By taking him to have picnics in the park.
58. The text is mainly about.
A. how an unpopular child can be helped
B. why some children are unpopular
C. what good qualities unpopular children have
D. who cares about unpopular children
C
I never thought I would have a life-changing experience a t Wal-Mart.
Although my thou ghts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn’t
moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.
There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well,
he’s an old guy!
For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning
the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “How’s it going? ”. But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversations.
I thought it was odd. I has grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of a robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don’t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live, ”and someone would reply, “Have a great day! ”
But that wasn’t the end.
He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today, ”he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-bye. ”
The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture—and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.
Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name, Marty.
Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy’s body.
I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.
59. The checkout line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because.
A. the cashier couldn’t work as fast as others
B. there were some big purchases
C. the cashier did more than scanning the items
D. the writer was not patient enough
60. According to the writer, when common people ask you “How’s it
going? ”.
A. they don’t really care what you may answer
B. they are just practicing their conversation ability
C. they are inquiring about your private information
D. they don’t expect to hear any negative answers
61. What can we infer about Sam Walton?
A. He might be Marty’s father or grandfather.
B. He might be friendly and devoted to Wal-Mart.
C. He might have died while working in the market.
D. He might have come back from the dead once before.
62. What does the writer intend to express through the text?
A. Our everyday life is always full of surprises.
B. Most customers enjoy being treated this way.
C. Being different is a good way of doing business.
D. A little positive action can make a big difference.

A migraine(偏头痛)can cause disabling pain. People may not feel back to normal for hours or even days. Migraines are most common among young adults and middle-aged people. In the United States, about eighteen percent of women and six percent of men report having migraines.
People who suffer from migraines can find that different “triggers”(诱因)in different people may get a headache started. Stress can act as a trigger. So can chocolate in some people. Many migraine sufferers say hot weather and low barometric pressure(大气压)can act as triggers. But researchers say they haven’t got much scientif ic evidence of that until now.
In a new study, a team examined the medical records of seven thousand hospital patients. The patients had visited the emergency room at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, because of a headache. More than two thousand of them had been found to have a migraine.
The team then compared those records to weather conditions in the twenty-four hours before the hospital visits. For every increase of five degrees centigrade in air temperature, the patients had a seven and one-half percent higher risk of migraines. Decreases in barometric pressure two to three days before the visit also appeared to trigger headaches.
The researchers found no evidence that air pollution influenced headaches. But they could not rule out the possibility of a smaller effect.
A separate study has found that age, gender, and where a person has extra body fat may affect the risk of migraines. It found that overweight people between the ages of twenty and fifty-five may have a higher risk. On average, those who were larger around the middle were more likely to have migraines than those of the same age with smaller waistlines.
The study involved twenty-two thousand people. It was led by Lee Peterlin. She says early results suggest that losing weight in the stomach area may help younger people who experience migraines, especially women.
67. From the first paragraph, we can infer that a migraine can.
A. make people unable to walk
B. prevent people acting normally
C. cause people to leave home for days
D. get people to suffer from mental disorder
68. The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to.
A. chocolate acting as a trigger
B. stress acting as a trigger
C. hot weather and low barometric pressure acting as triggers
D. high air pressure acting as a trigger
69. According to the passage, headaches are influenced least by.
A. body weight
B. barometric pressure
C. air temperature
D. air pollution
70. In the opinion of Lee Peterlin, a person who has a migraine should.
A. avoid gathering fat in the stomach area
B. eat more sweet food every day
C. stay warm in good weather
D. keep away from noisy places
