第二部分阅读理解(第一节20小题,第二节5小题;每小题2分,满分50分) 第一节: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,并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。 Now as a mother myself, I"m anxious about the future, but I"m optimistic at the same time. I have the same concerns that my mother had for me and my brothers when we were growing up and going out into the world. The world it"s said has shrunk or become flat. We"re connected in ways we never were before. So how do we deal with these new challenges? Well, the other day I was speaking about my concerns for the future. And I said that I wanted to make sure that young people would work hard because we"re in competition with jobs. When I was sitting where you are now, I didn"t have to worry about competition from China or India. There were no global pressures like you will face as you mark your own way. And we need to get every young person to really get a sense of commitment and to work hard. Well, then my daughter said, "Mom I do work hard and my friends work hard." And I said, "I know that. I"m sorry, I didn"t mean to convey any impression that you don"t work hard. I just want to set the bar high because we are in a competition for the future." You know, in 1999 when I was thinking of running for the Senate, I did not know what to do. I was really thinking hard because I had to make a decision. And there were a lot of things to consider. Obviously, no first lady had ever sought public office before. I had obviously never run for office before. You know, often our most fearsome competitor is ourselves. We struggle with all of the internal doubts and anxieties, fears for the future, concerns for the world. Sometimes when I look at what"s happening in the world, it"s hard to imagine going out and doing anything of meaning. But we can do it and not only that, we must. America needs you to grab hold of this moment. So compete to do the best you can and help make our country the best it can be. So today, after you"ve accepted your diploma, but before you leave this place, please thank your family for guiding you to this moment. Thank your professors for showing you a new world. Thank your friends for exploring that world and finally remember what this day feels like. Cherish it always. Go for it. The world awaits you. 41.Who is most probably the speaker “I”? A.a Chinese B.an Indian C.an American adult D.a university student 42.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A.Quite a few first ladies have run for public offices. B.Only after you’ve got your diploma and before you leave your university should you thank your parents, your professors and your friends. C.The speaker is always aware of what to do because she is a determined person. D.The speaker is concerned about the future even though she is optimistic. 43.Why do you think the speaker urge the students to work harder? A.Because the students are not really working hard at all. B.Because they are faced with global competition on their way to their future. C.Because only in this way can they afford to go to an expensive bar for a good drink. D.Because their most fearsome competitors are themselves. 44.On the whole, the speech is ________ . A.disappointing B.encouraging C.negative D.necessary |

Eleven leatherback turtles(凌皮龟) are swimming across the Pacific Ocean to the Galapagos Islands in a "race" that will be tracked online to draw attention to the serious situation of the endangered creatures. The turtles have been attached with satellite communication devices that give their positions, as they head South from their nesting sites on Costa Rica" s Playa Grande beach to their feeding grounds near the Galapagos, about 1,500km away. Online participants can choose a turtle and track its course at http://www.great turtlerace.com. The winner will be the one that travels furthest in two weeks of swimming. There is no prize for the winner of the race, aimed at highlighting the dangers to a creature that has graced (美化) the oceans for 100 million years. Environmentalists say 95 percent of leatherbacks in the Pacific Ocean have vanished in the last 20 years due to human activity like fishing, poaching(偷猎) of their eggs and building near their nests. Thousands of leatherbacks nested at Playa Grande 10 years ago, but the number has dropped to below 100 in the last 5 years. The leatherback race will not be live because the turtles left Costa Rica at different times. Instead, environmentalist group Conservation International will provide a day-to-day showing of the first 14 days of their journeys simultaneously as if they were racing. The event will raise funds to protect Playa Grande. It is being organized by groups such as Conservation International and Costa Rica" s Environment Ministry. 68.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分) I have recently been diagnosed with an addiction-to coffee. And I am not alone. This is a problem among Americans of all ages. The coffee shop has become a social feature in our culture. Its appealing smell, cozy and inviting atmosphere are difficult to resist, especially if you struggle with an addiction like alcohol. But, when you look past the leather couches and coffees named after European cities, all you"ll find is coffee, milk, and a little sugar. Anyone can buy a Coffeemaker and a container of Coffee Mate and try to create the same drink as a coffee shop does. The only difference between your homemade coffee and coffee shops is that they put it in a cute cup and throw on some whipped (泡沫状的) cream to convince us that we are treating ourselves to a worthy relief from the fast pace of everyday life. And we believe them, silly for the idea that drinking their coffee improves our quality of life. So, next time this "white chocolate" begins echoing in your mind, you"ll have to make a decision: Will you continue to be one of the millions of brainwashed Americans who live for their next trip to a coffee shop, or will you just walk away and ignore it? My advice is -- dare to resist and just say no. 61. The major features of a coffee shop are the following EXCEPT its _______. A. attractive smell B. comfortable surrounding C. pleasant atmosphere D. alcohol-like addiction 62. The coffee from coffee shops differs from homemade coffee mainly because it _______. A. is mixed with whipped cream B. is usually served in a cute cup C. offers a feeling of precious relief D. can improve the quality of life 63. "White chocolate" in the last paragraph probably means _______. A. coffee with cream B. chocolate with coffee C. brainwashed Americans D. addiction to shop coffee 64. The author"s attitude towards "white chocolate" is _______. A. positive B. uncaring C. negative D. optimistic |
