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
Grandpa Nybakken loved life―especially when he could play a trick on somebody. At those times, his large Norwegian frame shook with laughter while he pretended innocent surprise, exclaiming, “Oh, forevermore!” But on a cold Saturday in downtown Chicago, Grandpa felt that God played a trick on him, and grandpa wasn’t laughing.
Grandpa worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage abroad. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church．His search proved fruitless.
Suddenly, he realized what had happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses were heading for China!
The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.
“It’s not fair,” he told God as he drove home in frustration. “I’ve been very faithful in giving of my time and money to your work, and now this.”
Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on vacation in the United States．He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather’s small church in Chicago．Grandpa and his family sat in their usual seats among the small congregation（教堂会众）.
“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year.”
“Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses．Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my co-workers and I were much in prayer about this．Then your boxes arrived．When my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on the top.” After a long pause, he continued, “Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”
The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses．But the director surely must have confused their church with another, they thought, there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.
But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.
56．Which of the following is NOT true about Grandpa Nybakken aording to the passage?
A．He was an outgoing man and held an active attitude towards life.
B．He had a large family to support.
C．He was a carpenter working in the church
D．He was a loyal Christian.
57．The people in the church but Grandpa felt confused at what the director said because ________.
A．Grandpa didn’t tell the director that he was the owner of the glasses
B．the director wanted to return the glasses even though he liked it
C．the director could not get such glasses in their own country
D．the glasses were not included in the donation list
58．Who does “the Master Carpenter” in the last paragraph probably refer to?
A．Grandpa’s master． B．One of Grandpa’s friends．
C．Grandpa’s co-worker. D．God．
59．Which can be the best title of the passage?
A．Grandfather’s life B．The Helpful Donation
C．The Perfect Mistake D．An Impressive Speech

B
Social working websites are causing alarming changes in the brains of young users, a famous scientist has warned．Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Bebo are said to shorten attention spans （幅度）, encourage instant satisfaction and make children more self-centered．
Warnings from neuroscientist （神经系统科学家） Susan Greenfield will disturb the millions whose social lives depend on surfing their favorite websites each day．But they will strike a chord （弦） with parents and teachers who plain that many teenagers lack the ability to municate or concentrate away from their screens．
More than 150 million use Facebook to keep in touch with friends, share photographs and videos and post regular updates of their movements and thoughts．A further six million have signed up to Twitter, the "micro-blogging" service that lets users exchange text messages about themselves．But while the sites are popular and extremely profitable, a growing number of psychologists and neuroscientists believe they may be doing more harm than good．
Baroness Tarot, an Oxford University neuroscientist believes repeated exposure could rewire the brain．puter games and fast-paced TV shows were also a factor, she said．"My fear is that these technologies are weakening the brain to the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and live for the moment．" "I often wonder whether real conversation in real time may eventually give way to these easier and faster screen dialogues, in much the same way as killing and butchering an animal to eat has been replaced by the convenience of packages on the supermarket shelf," she said．
Psychologists have also argued that digital technology is changing the way we think．They point out that students no longer need to plan their term papers before starting to write―thanks to word processors they can edit as they go along．
A study by the Broadcaster Audience Board found teenagers now spend seven and a half hours a day in front of a screen．Educational psychologist Jane Healy believes children should be kept away from puter games until they are seven．Most games only excite the "flight or fight" areas of the brain, rather than the areas responsible reasoning．
Sue Palmer, author of Toxic Childhood, said: "We are seeing children's brain development damaged because they don't engage in the activity they have engaged in for thousands of years．I'm not against technology and puters．But before they start social working, they need to learn to make real relationships with people．"
60．Aording to the passage, social working websites might _____．
A．make young users more selfish
B．lengthen young users' attention span
C．encourage young users constant satisfaction
D．help young users municate better with their families
61．A neuroscientist may worry that sites like Facebook may ______．
A．help children learn to make real relationships with people in society
B．encourage students not to plan their term papers before starting to write
C．disturb those whose social lives depend on surfing their favorite websites
D．make real conversation in real time give way to easier and faster screen dialogue
62．From the passage we can infer that _____
A．Baroness Tarot agrees websites cause small children's small attention span
B．Jane Healy believes puter games can do good to children's reasoning
C．Susan Greenfield's warnings have been brought to wide public attention
D．Sue Palmer's book Toxic Childhood discusses the development of working
63．What is the purpose of this passage?
A．To tell us the conflict between neuroscientists and psychologists on websites．
B．To present some negative opinions on social working websites．
C．To offer advice on the problem of brain damage caused by social working．
D．To analyse how social working websites cause damage in the brains of teenagers．

Officials in a remote Russian city have drawn up a list of practical tips for locals on how to survive encounters (相遇) with bears, after growing numbers have wandered into the streets in search of food.
Officials in the city of Syktyvkar drew up the guidelines to guide the local people, after several bears were caught sight of in the city, going hungry after a heat wave shriveled their usual diet of nuts and berries.
The guide warns that city people there should stay calm and stand still if they meet with a bear. “Speak to the bear in a firm voice” and “Don’t turn your back on it,” it adds. In the worst case, if the bear attacks, the person should also be ready to attack, the guide says. “Shout angrily at it and look it straight in the eye,” the guide advises. “Bears have started ing into the areas where people live more and more often,” the city officials said in a statement. “Any encounter with a bear is unsafe for humans, so our task is to do all we can to prevent such aidents.”
In September, a bear attacked a 25-year-old man in a central street of the city, wounding him in the neck before he managed to run away, police said. “Three or four people who met with brown bears have been recorded recently,” the head of the hunting department in the regional agriculture anization, Alexander said.

If cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2011.The pany Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2011.
“It’s the next‘wow’vehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”
The car plane has wings that unfold for flying―a process the pany says takes one minute―and fold back up for driving.A runway is still required to take off and land.
The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both.The pany has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.
The pany is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly.They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go.When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road.There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport―you park it in the garage at home.
The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet.It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers.Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an aident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界)conditions.
The Transition’s price tag: $194,000, But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, transponder or GPS.Another option is a full-plane parachute.
“If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option,”Gersh said.
So far,the pany has more than 70 orders with deposits.“We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps,”Brown said.
71.We can learn from the first paragraph that .
A.car-planes will be popular in 2011
B.people might drive a car-plane in 2011
C.both Transition and Ferrari can take off and land
D.Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts
72.lt takes the car-plane one minute to .
A.fold and unfold its wings B.unfold wings for flying
C.land in the airport D.meet flying safety regulations
73.Aording to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A.The car-plane needs a runway to take off and land.
B.To mcet aircraft regulations, the pany has been working with FAA.
C.The car-plane may fly as high as normal planes.
D.People can park the car-plane in the garage at their home.
74.The underlined word“it”in the last but one paragraph refers to .
A.the radio B.the transponder
C.the GPS D.the full-plane parachute
75.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The Corner.
B.Which to Choose: A Ferraris or a Car Plane?
C.A more Convenient and Cheaper Way to Fly.
D.Cars With Wings Can Fly as Fast as Planes.
