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，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer (扫盲志愿者) last summer. The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.
My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn’t know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn’t always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight , so if the product had a different label (标识), she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.
As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie’s self-confidence, which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stor ies. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.
51. What did the author do last summer?
A. She helped someone to learn to read.
B. She worked in the supermarket.
C. She gave single mothers the help they needed.
D. She went to a training program to help a literacy volunteer.
52. Why didn’t Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?
A. Because she liked to walk to the supermarket.
B. Because she lived far away from the bus stop.
C. Because she couldn’t find the right bus.
D. Because she couldn’t afford the bus ticket.
53. How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?
A. She knew where the goods were in the supermarket.
B. She asked others to take her to the right place.
C. She remembered the names of the goods.
D. She managed to find the goods by their looks.
54. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Marie?

In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.
Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.
The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.
Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it is better to have parents around than to have a university education.
55. Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because _______ _.
A. they hope their children may easily find a job there
B. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends
C. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries
D. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries
56. “Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________.
A. without patents B. with university education
C. living abroad alone D. speaking no English
57. Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents ________.
A. want to leave their own country B. return to their countries to work
C. want them to go to university D. want them to be independent
58. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Parents want better education for their kids.
B. Parents feel lonely and miss their families.
C. Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.
D. Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem.

Humans: It’s time to abandon (废弃) the earth or face extinction.
This prediction isn’t science fiction. It’s a glimpse of the future, according to famed British scientist Stephen Hawking. “I see great dangers for the human race,” he said in an interview with global forum (论坛) Big Think. “There have been a number of times in the past when its survival has been a question of touch and go (死里逃生).”
Hawking says humans must evacuate our home planet within the next two centuries and expand into space to survive. “I believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space,” he said. “It will be difficult to avoid disaster on our planet Earth in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand, or million.”
He also voiced some concerns about the future of life on the earth. In April, he spoke about his fear of aliens (外星人) in an interview for the Discovery Channel. “If aliens visit us, the outcome would be m uch as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans,” he said. “Such advanced aliens would perhaps become wanderers, looking to conquer (征服) and colonize whatever planets they can reach.”
But Hawking says he is still hopeful for the future of humanity. “I’m an optimist,” he told Big Think. “We have made remarkable progress in the last hundred years. But if we want to continue beyond the next hundred years, our future is in space.”
Getting to another planet will prove a challenge, not to mention colonizing it for humanity. Universit y of Michigan astrophysicist (天体物理学家) Katherine Freese told Big Think that “the nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri which is 4.2 light years away. That means, if you were traveling at the speed of light the whole time, it would take 4.2 years to get there” --- or about 50,000 years using current rocket science.
63. According to the passage, which is NOT a reason why humans need to abandon the earth?
A. The earth will be destroyed by worldwide wars before long.
B. It will be hard for humans to avoid disasters on the earth in the future.
C. Lots of great dangers for humans have been seen.
D. Advanced aliens may conquer and colonize the earth some day.
64. The underlined word “evacuate” means “______”.
A. damage B. save C. move D. protect
65. Despite some concerns, Hawking’s attitude towards the future of humans is ______.
A. objective B. negative C. subjective D. positive
66. How long will it take to reach Proxima Centauri by current rocket?
A. About 4.2 years. B. About 50,000 years.
C. Less than 42,000 years. D. Over 10 years.

It is the preferred choice of millions of health-conscious Britons. But eating organic food (有机食品) could make you fat, experts have warned. A study has shown that people tend to believe that organic foods contain fewer calories, so buy and eat more. But people who decide to “go organic” could soon find themselves piling on the pounds.
The warning comes from American researchers who studied whether the sight of an organic label was enough to influence a person’s choice. For example, if people believe organic foods, produced without using pesticides (杀虫剂) and artificial fertilizers (化肥), have fewer calories, they may end up eating far too much and spending less time on sports activities and put on weight. Co rnell University researchers said: “ Some people mistakenly think that these foods are more nutritious (营养的), just because they carry an organic label.”
“The growing popularity of organic foods has led to some concern, as these foods may not necessarily be healthier than non-organic ones, but still may lead consumers to nutritional mis-judgments. If people feel a food to be more nutritious, they tend to let their guard down when it comes to counting calories---in the end leading them to overeat.”
Although a small number of differences in nutrient content were found to exist between organically-produced crops and traditionally-produced ones, these are of little health importance. It shows that there is no proof to support the choice of organically over traditionally-produced foods because of nutritional advantage.
67. Why more Britons tend to spend more money on organic foods?
A. They have stronger sense of health and like nutritious foods.
B. They think organic foods help remove fat in their bodies.
C. They find organic foods delicious and convenient in their life.
D. They have better living conditions with the help of the government.
68. When Britons think they have had enough nutrition in organic foods, they will __________.
A. eat less and do more sports to keep fit
B. do more sports to reduce the calories
C. eat less because the foods are expensive
D. eat more and do less exercise
69. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. There is no evidence that organic foods have more nutrition.
B. Traditional foods are richer in nutrition.
C. Britons are wise in choosing organic foods.
D. Organic labels play a supporting role in shops.
70. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Health Finding: Organic Foods Will Replace Traditional Foods
B. Health Warning: Organic Foods Could Make You Fat
C. Health Reminder: Organic Foods Have No Nutrition
D. Health Surprise: Organic Foods Are Being Discounted
