　　第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题，满分35分)

　　第一节：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。(共15小题，每题两分，满分30分)

　　A

　　Do you have a mobile phone? Do you send text messages to your friends and family?

　　Text messaging or “texting” is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling in our thumbs and wrists. Our thumbs are not made for pushing small buttons, over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI.

　　We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many patients with RSI. She said we needed to see how much time we were spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the future.

　　We also talked with Dr Harjeet Deepa who treats RSI patients. He told us that the youngest patient she had treated was a five-year-old girl. She wasn’t doing well at school, so her parents took her for treatment. It was found that she had such bad RSI in her hands, she couldn’t hold a pencil.

　　As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can also cause the same problem. So, more and more people could find themselves with RSI.

　　Many university students and teenagers have RSI, as they do not know the risks of spending so much time using computers, video games and mobile phones. If we don’t do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.

　　41. What causes the problem RSI?

　　A. More people have mobile phones. B. Texting is becoming very popular.

　　C. People type too many text messages. D. Our thumbs were made for pushing buttons.

　　42. _______ were interviewed about the problem RSI in this passage.

　　A. The writer and a little girl B. Harriet Wilson and Harjeet Deepa

　　C. Three scientists D. Four doctors

　　43. The little girl who Dr. Harjeet Deepa treated couldn’t hold a pencil because ________.

　　A. she didn’t go to school B. she was only five years old

　　C. she had no thumbs at all D. she suffered a lot from RSI

　　44. The underlined part “at once” in the third paragraph means “________”.

　　A. right away B. at one time

　　C. finally D. immediately

　　45. From the passage we know _________.

　　A. it is better to use a larger phone with bigger buttons

　　B. it is worse to spend less time typing the text messages

　　C. using the computer keyboard will never cause the problem RSI

　　D. university students who have RSI know it’s dangerous to do too much texting.

　　B

　　Take a look at teenagers around, dressed in baggy-pants (宽松裤), drinking soft drinks such as coke, reading Japanese cartoons. Whether you are in Beijing, Wuhan or Hong Kong, you will get the same impression. But should we copy others or should we maintain (保留) our differences?

　　It sounds convenient that people around the world speak the same language, dress in the same style, eat the same food and play the same games. If the world was like this, you won’t feel strange in any corner of world. But just imagine living in such a strange world. How dull and colorless it would be!

　　Different kinds of food that people can taste, the colorful and fashionable clothes that we dress in and different languages we speak are all part of the different cultures that our ancestors left us. These differences represent their creativity (创造力) and talent. And we all enjoy different cultures in our daily lives. When you travel to other places, you want to see different things. When you talk to foreigners you expect to listen to interesting stories. These differences in culture are what make life colorful.

　　But the whole world is shrinking into a small village as globalization (全球化) takes effect and many different cultures are disappearing. In most big cities around the world people wear the same clothes. Fast food stores are everywhere. Hollywood movies are kicking traditional performing arts out of our lives. The colors of our life are disappearing.

　　There is joke that even the panda and zebra want to live a colorful life. So let’s take action to protect our colorful culture before it becomes as simple as black and white.

　　It’s not difficult. Learning some folk songs, trying on a traditional clothing and even eating local food instead of going to KFC can help. And we’re sure you will enjoy it.

　　46. The passage is written to _______.

　　A. explain cultural differences B. convince readers to maintain cultural differences

　　C. predict the future of globalization D. show some cultural phenomena(现象)

　　47. The author thinks that cultural differences _____.

　　A. make the world colorful B. make communication difficult

　　C. only exist in food and clothing D. will never fade away

　　48. The author starts the argument by ________.

　　A. mentioning certain cultural phenomena B. mentioning his view at the very beginning

　　C. mentioning the opposite view at the very beginning D. giving examples of cultural differences

　　49. The underlined word “shrink” probably means “_______”.

　　A. expand B. disappear C. become smaller D. grow in number

　　50. The author talks of all the following cultural phenomena except _______.

　　A. food B. clothing C. language D. architecture

　　C

　　We have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. It is not as simple as we might think, as new experiments have shown. In one experiment, flowers were kept in darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of the day, did not open as they usually do. In fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This shows that they have some mysterious way of knowing the time.

　　Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner clock”. This discovery may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also animals including man have this “inner clock” which controls working of their bodies and their activities.

　　Human beings, then, are also controlled by this mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it affects such

　　things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food. And our ability to concentrate.

　　51. One experiment was done for finding out .

　　A. when different flowers open and close

　　B. if flowers have a mysterious way of knowing the time

　　C. how flowers are used to tell the time in the darkness

　　D. why flowers open and close at particular time.

　　52 Before the experiment arrived at a conclusion, people had thought that the flowers .

　　A. would never open in darkness

　　B. would change their usual time to open

　　C. would continue to open at their usual time

　　D. would open earlier than the usual time

　　53. That flowers have the sense of time is related to .

　　A. sunlight B. weak light

　　C. the “inner clock” D. the information from the outside world

　　54. From the passage, we know that don’t have mysterious power inside.

　　A.wild animals B.human bei

　　ngs

　　C. all creatures D. lifeless things

　　55. We may know that if we make good use of the ‘inner clock’, .

　　A. we will have more strength to do our work.

　　B. clocks or watches are no longer useful to us

　　C. we will be able to live as long as we wish to

　　D. human beings will need less sleep, less food or less movement

　　HU Yaohui, a schoolgirl in Zhejiang province, didn’t want to speak or eat for a week. She kept worrying about her scores on the exam. “I can’t stop thinking about my 61 in the class,” she said, “I feel stressed out.” Hu is not the 62 one who faces stress.

　　Stress is a 63 physical response to things that make people feel worried or break their balance of life in some way.

　　However, too much or long-term stress gives people a stress overload. People with stress overloads may have problems remembering or concentrating on things. They are quick to get angry or 66 patience. They may 67 have other problems, such as sleeping problems, headaches and often getting colds.

　　The most helpful way to deal with stress overloads is to learn how to manage the stress. For example, you might manage it by getting a good night’s sleep, or by exercising every day. 68 good way to deal with stress is to ask parents or friends for help. Everyone has stress. For many people, stress is so common that it has become a 69 of life. Don’t be too shy to tell others that you are having a hard time. They may comfort you or give you some useful advice.
