第三部分： 阅读理解 （共20小题; 每小题2分, 满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A Are you looking for ways to get your child excited about reading? As publishers of children’s books, we often hear from parents about their reluctant readers and what they have done to encourage their children to read. Here are five parent-tested strategies. Let them read funny stories Interest alone is a big motivator for getting kids to love reading. Funny books are what they are interested in. You’ll be glad to know that cartoons include vocabulary-stretching words besides pictures. Read yourself Set time aside each day to read something. Show by example that reading is something you do throughout your life to enjoy, to learn, or to keep up with what is happening in your field of interest. Have a family reading time
My mom is British, so each afternoon we would have tea-time. We would drink our tea and nibble (小口咬) on cookies while Mom read a chapter to us from a Laura Ingalls Wilder book. You will all enjoy the family time and your child will also learn to enjoy reading and listening. Give books as presents Pick out books on topics your child likes, such as animals, princesses, plants, and magic. Buy these books as presents for them. The book parents choose with encouraging words in it is always special. Give reading rewards Sometimes you can put money between the pages. This is especially motivating to teens. Many parents have mentioned this technique to us. So if nothing else is working, perhaps your reluctant reader will get excited about this approach. Reading opens up new worlds, creates understanding, and enriches lives. Help your child learn the wonder that can be found in books by using these strategies. 56.

B DANBURY — Cheryl Kunst knows a new restriction on teen drivers will help keep them safe, but she worries that it will affect the amount of time she can spend teaching her daughter to drive. The new restriction, which took effect Monday, limits the number of passengers that teenagers with learning permits are allowed to carry. Teenagers with a permit can only drive with the parent or licensed driver who is teaching them. “I understand the safety issues, but it will make it more difficult to get in the driving hours my daughter needs,” said the Danbury woman, who has been teaching her 16-year-old daughter, Sarah, to drive for the last month. “A lot of times I’ll let her drive while we’re doing errands (短差) and a friend or her little sister might be in the car. We won’t be able to do that now.” David Scribner, who authored the state’s graduated license laws, said despite the
inconvenience, the new regulation will save lives. “The highest percentage of accidents with a young driver is caused by distractions (分心),” Scribner said. “It makes sense to prevent the distractions, especially when a teenager is learning to drive. It creates better conditions to learn under and will give the teenagers higher levels of self-confidence when driving.” Barry Thayer, director of the Thayer Driver Edu-cation Center on Padanaram Road, said, “I always warn parents that during the first or second hour of driving, there shouldn’t be any other passengers in the car,” he said. “But after a few hours, it can work out fine. The new law sounds nice, but it has its disadvantages. My only concern is that it could mean parents won’t be able to spend as much time on the road with their kids.” 60. Cheryl Kunst is worried that _____.
A. the new restriction won’t be carried out successfully B. her daughter won’t drive by herself
C. she has less time to teach her daughter to drive D. her daughter won’t be safe when driving 61. According to the new restriction, _____.
A. teenagers without a permit should drive with their parents B. teenagers with a permit can’t carry their classmates C. Sarah can’t learn to drive from her mother any more D. parents can teach their children to drive at any time 62. David Scribner thought that _____.
A. teenagers should pay more attention when driving B. teenagers should enjoy themselves in the car
C. parents should give their children more chances to drive by themselves D. the new rule would save parents’ driving time 63. The main idea of the passage probably is _____. A. Sarah is learning to drive with her mom’s help
B. people are not satisfied with the new restriction C. experts’ worry about teenagers driving D. people’s opinions on the new rule C Orville and Wilbur Wright might jump to mind when we mention the first person to fly. But the Wright Brothers were half a century late. Lots of pioneers risked their necks over many decades and even centuries to get humans off the ground by various means, from moving their pseudo-wings (伪翅膀) up and down to gliding (滑行) off cliffs. But few are remembered so well or mentioned so often as the Wright Brothers, whose “Flying Machine” was the first powered airplane to carry out controlled and continuous flight. They did it on December 17, 1903. The pilot was Orville, since Wilbur had taken his turn in a failed previous attempt. The Wright Flyer was in the air for 12 seconds and went 120 feet. But this was not the first human flight. Gliders were being used successfully for decades before powered flight. The Wright Brothers’ achievement is sometimes mistakenly called “the first powered flight”. Even that’s disputed (有争议的). The first powered flight was Henri Giffard’s steam-
-powered airship in 1852. On September 24, 1852, Giffard traveled almost 17 miles (27
kilometers) from Paris to Trappes moving at about 6 miles per hour (10 kilometers / hour). His airship could be steered only in calm weather, though. In wind, it could fly only in slow circles. Clément Ader went half the length of a football field in a bat-winged setup (装置), the ?魪ole, which many view as the first manned, powered, heavier-than-air flight in 1890. On October 14, 1897, Ader’s Avion III took off and flew a distance of more than 300 yards. The Wright Brothers’ achievement is properly called “the first manned, powered, heavier-than-air and, to some degree, controlled” flight.
64. The author of the passage tries to tell the readers about ______. A. the first real powered flight B. the development of the airplane C. the Wright Brothers’ invention
D. the whole history of the “Flying Machine”
65. The correct statement about the Wright Brothers is ______. A. they were the first to fly in the sky
B. they flew faster by moving their wings
C. their powered plane could fly continuously D. they jumped off cliffs bravely
66. According to the passage, the first powered flight could travel 30 km in ______. A. about 2 hours B. about 3 hours C. about 5 hours D. about 7 hours
67. Which of the following shows the correct order of the development of early planes? a. a bat-winged setup
b. the steam-powered airship c. Flying Machine d. Ader’s Avion III A. b, a, c, d B. b, d, c, a C. b, c, a, d D. b, a, d, c D Close your eyes and think of someone who has hurt you. The offence may be severe or small but deeply painful. He may be a stranger — the driver who caused your accident or someone who took your child. More likely, it is someone close and trusted. It may even be yourself. Let all the anger and hurt you feel for that wrongdoer gradually come to the surface. Feel your heart beating quickly, your stomach churning (翻腾) and your thoughts racing in dark directions. OK, stop. Now, forgive the offender. Don’t just remember the bitterness, but wish him well and move on — whether he is sorry or not. Many researchers think forgiveness may be medicine for the body. They have shown that “forgiveness interventions (介入)” — often just a couple of short sessions in which the wounded are guided towards positive feelings for an offender — can reduce pain and depression and increase quality of life among the very ill. Like proper nutrition and exercise, forgiveness appears to be a behaviour that a patient can learn, exercise and repeat as needed to prevent disease and preserve health. But the new science worries many in mental health who fear that traumatised (精神受创伤的) patients face pressure to forgive when their desire to do so is not fully developed.
