第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Once there was a young woman who didn’t like her job. Everyday when she came home from work, she told her husband how terrible her day had been, how tiring the work and how unreasonable her boss. “Leave that job,” her husband told her.
“Oh, I will,” she said. “But not yet. I have too many friends there for me to leave.” And so she remained unhappy at work until the years became decades and her children had children. “Leave that job,” her grandchildren told her. “Oh, I will,” she said. “But not yet. There are only seven more years until I reach thirty years of service and can retire. So I can’t just yet.”
I know this woman. And her story reminds me of an old dog half asleep on the porch of a general store, moaning and groaning(呻吟) in the sun. “Why is your dog acting that way?” a customer asked the store owner. “Oh,” answered the man. “He’s lying on a nail.” “Well, why doesn’t he move?” “Because it’s not hurting him bad enough.”
That’s true for people, too. We convince ourselves the pain is not bad enough to leave the workplace we know. But we’re wrong. Prolonged work pain is continuing. Some work pain damages our self-esteem, kills our passion or destroys our dreams.
Wilbur Wright once mented, “We could hardly wait to get up in the morning. I know that exciting feeling of being so passionate about something I was working on that I couldn’t wait to get back to work. And people who are winning at working know that kind of passion, too.”
They get excited about work. They offer their unique gifts and talents eagerly. And when things don’t change as they sometimes will, they refuse to let environment hijack(劫持) their self-esteem, passion or dreams.

56. The woman plained to her husband every day because .
A. she didn’t have enough money to support her family
B. her boss criticized her for what she had done
C. her work was difficult and her boss was cruel
D. she was not satisfied with her job at all
57. From the second paragraph we can know that the woman .
A. liked making friends with others B. loved all of her children very much
C. did exactly the same job all along D. left her tiring job at last
58. The underlined word “Prolonged” (in Paragraph 4) means .
A. slight B. lasting C. serious D. hard
59. People who are getting along well with their work .
A. are likely to change with the situation B. are not willing to go to work
C. need more unique gifts and talents D. have to get up early every day
B
Bill Gates and the president of General Motors have met for lunch, and Bill is going on and on about puter technology. “If automotive technology had kept pace with puter technology over the past few decades, you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour,” says Gates. “Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than $ 50. Why haven't you guys kept up?”
The president of GM smiles and says, “Because the federal government won't let us build cars that crash four times a day. ”
Why is that funny (or not funny, as the case may be)? Human beings love to laugh, and the average adult laughs 17 times a day. Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter. Jokes, sits and edies are all designed to get us laughing, because laughing feels good. For us it seems so natural, but the funny thing is that humans are the only species that laughs. Laughter is actually a plex response that involves many of the same skills used in solving problems.
Laughter is a great thing ― that's why we've all heard the saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease. When we look at laughter ― what it is, what happens in our brains when we laugh, what makes us laugh and how it can make us healthier and happier, there's a huge amount about it that no one understands yet.

60. The best title of the passage is ___________.
A. Joke B. Fun C. Laughter D. Humor
61. Which of the following sentences in this passage is the most humorous?
A. “The federal government won't let us build cars that crash four times a day.”
B. “ It would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour.”
C. “The sticker price of a new car would be less than $ 50.”
D. “You would now be driving a V-32 instead of V-8.”
62. Which of the following is true aording to the passage?
A. Humans laugh because of jokes, sits and edies.
B. Laughter is a plex response of humans.
C. Humans have gained skills to laugh since they are born.
D. Humans laugh because it can fight disease.
63. What is the writer likely to talk about next?
A. Where does laughter take place?B. How do people laugh?
C. When is laughter the best medicine? D. What is laughter?
C
There are many reasons that goals go unfulfilled. For many, goal setting is a never ending circle that starts, stops, and begins again. To help us sueed in reaching our goals, let’s examine the reasons why many people fail at reaching them. Here are 7 Reasons That You Won’t Reach Your Goals:
1. You Don’t Have Any Goals
Too many people are afraid to “set” their goals. Afraid of failing. Afraid of disappointment. Well, you definitely won’t plete them if you don’t try. Make a choice and set your goals. Otherwise you will end up wherever life takes you.
2. You Don’t Start
OK, so you have a goal. What have you done about it? Have you started it yet? What are you waiting for? Procrastination is responsible for the failure of many goals.
3. You Aren’t Willing to “Buy” Your Goals
Yes, you have to buy your goals. Why? Because every goal has a price. It has a cost. Time. Money. Sweat. Sacrifice. You will have to “pay” for your goals in some manner.
4. Your Goals Are Unrealistic .
Make sure that your goals are possible and that you set an adequate time frame for suess.

5. You Won’t Stick With It
Over half of goals will be given up within 30 days. You set your goals .You started them. And then you gave up. Are you using life’s daily happenings as excuses? Goals are not reached through one effort. Rather, they are made in small steps over time.
6. You Will Fail. And You Won’t Get Back Up!
No one sueeds immediately. Those who appear to have effortlessly sueeded have usually put in years of preparation and practice. You have to fall down many times before you will sueed. Skill is learned by doing.
7. You Quit Before The Finish Line
Too many people stop right before the finish line. It’s almost like they are afraid of sueeding. Often a life event is used as the reason for not finishing. Something always es up before you finish.
Are you reaching your goals? Which of these is keeping you from sueeding? Set your goals. Stay the course. Always get back up when you fail. And make sure you cross the finish line.
64. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To clarify the reasons leading to the failure of achieving goals.
B. To convince people of keeping to their life goals.
C. To remind people of the importance of setting life goals.
D. To persuade people to have big life goals.
65. What’s the probable meaning of the underlined word “procrastination” in the second tip?

D
Every year, more than four million babies are born in the United States.
Some parents named their children based on family, cultural or religious traditions. Girls are often named after a family member but rarely their mothers. Sons, though, are often named after their fathers.
Every year the Social Security Administration releases a list of the most popular baby names in America. Last year, Jacob was the most popular boy name and Emma the number one name for girls.
These days, the choice of a baby name seems to be guided as much by individual desires as by tradition. This is shown in the fact that the most popular baby names are not as popular as they used to be.
Researchers at San Diego State University in California did a study. They found that thirty-two percent of boys received one of the ten most popular names in 1955. The same was true for twenty-two percent of girls. By 2007, however, the numbers were down to less than ten percent of boys and only eight percent of girls.
“People are more and more interested in finding unusual names. And now since we have the information on the Inter of what the most popular names are, the percentage of kids who get them actually is going down because people are able to avoid them much more suessfully than they did before,” said Cleveland Evans, a professor of psychology at Bellevue University.
Parents can find plenty of advice on the Web and in bookstores about choosing a baby name. A lot has also been written about the possible effects that a name might have on a child’s future.
There are studies that suggest children with unusual names are more likely to be laughed at. Other studies suggest that as adults, they might be less likely to get called for a job interview. Yet other research suggests that giving a child an unusual name might help build character. What all this adds up to is a big responsibility for parents to consider what’s really in a name.
68. Parents name their sons aording to the following EXCEPT _____.
A. family traditionB. a most popular baby name
C. cultural customs D. their fathers’ names
69. What can be inferred from the study of San Diego State University?
A. Parents’ idea on giving babies names are changing with social development.
B. Jacob was more popular than any other boy names in the United States of America.
C. Sons and daughters are always named after their fathers or grandfathers.
D. More people are delighted in using popular names in America nowadays

70.Aording to some studies, which is to NOT the possible effect of giving children unusual names?
A. When they grow up, they may be less likely to get called for a job interview.
B. They possibly build character.
C. Children with unusual names can get more chances in future.
D. Children with unusual names are more likely to be made fun of by others.
71. The best title of the text may be _____
A. Most Names Are Named After Father
B. How to Find Names on the Web
C. Changes in Choosing Baby names
D. More Babies Are Named Beyond Popularity
E
An important scientific report announced “irrefutable (不能反驳的) proof” that climate change is happening and it’s all our fault. How long has it been before people are against the global warming idea? But here’s a funny thing. Last year there was a very bad hurricane season in the Caribbean when, among other disasters, New Orleans was almost wiped off the map. We were wisely informed by the experts at the time that this was owing to global warming.
I remember watching a BBC science programme and hearing a learned professor with a beard tell us, “The increased frequency and strength of hurricanes is what we shall have to learn to expect given global warming.”
This year there have been far fewer hurricanes and those there have been were relatively mild. Why? Global warming again of course. Professor Bjorn Lomb, author of The Skeptical Environmentalist, writes, “In the constant media reports of possible greenhouse- related disasters, almost any event is now linked to climate change.” He adds, “We should not spend vast amounts of money to cut a tiny slice of the global temperature increase when this leads to a poor use of resources and when we could probably use these funds far more effectively in the developing world.” For saying this, Lomb has had death threats.
Other scientists who do not toe the global warming-is-happening-and-it’s-all-our-fault line have received the same. There are plenty of people who count against global warming. A world of senior climatologists and meteorologists (气象学家) wrote to The Times last year to plain that they couldn’t get their research findings published―because they disagreed to it. We have had a warm autumn. The experts, fanatics (狂热者) all of them, put it down to global warming. If we have an extra cold winter, they will tell us it’s a result of global warming. If my big toe feels cold or hurts badly, it will be owing to global warming.
72. The purpose of this passage may be to ______.
A. support the idea of global warming B. anize a debate about global warming
C. encourage people to use money effectively D. speak out against the global warming idea
73. What happened to New Orleans last year?
A. It disappeared in the world.B. It was badly destroyed.
C. It witnessed global warming. D. It experienced several disasters.
74. From the passage, we can infer that ______.
A. the majorities usually stand for the correct opinion
B. people have realized the side effect of development
C. a different idea sometimes may cost one his life
D. people are taking too many efforts to stop global warming
75. The main idea of the last paragraph may be ______.
A. global warming may lead to toe’s catching cold in a sense
B. The Times refuses to publish articles on global warming
C. it is certainly incorrect to owe everything to global warming
D. a warm autumn is not related to global warming at all
