第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题，每题2分，满分30分）

请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

( A )

Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.

In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all ---- whether rich or poor, clever or stupid, one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough: we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our street and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns…

In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.

56. The writer of the passage thinks that _____.

A. education can settle most of the world’s problems

B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world

C. free education won’t help to solve social problems

D. all the social problems can’t be solved by education

57. According to the passage, ______.

A. work with hands is dirty and shameful

B. work with hands is low work

C. work with hands is the most important work

D. we can’t think of work with hands as low work

58. The purpose of education is _______.

A. to choose a system (系统) of education

B. to let everyone receive education fit for him

C. to prepare children mainly for their future work

D. to build a perfect world

( B )

There are a lot of strong tsunamis(海啸) because of the size of the ocean and large earthquakes there. In open seas tsnamis are only one or two meters high. But when they are near land, they can be as high as six or seven metres. Houses and cars near the sea can be swept away by these big waves. Because tsunamis move fast and can travel to the other side of the sea within one day, they may affect a lot of places.

Do you know the worst tsunamis in history in the world? Look through the following list.

Worst tsnamis

Location (位置) Year Deaths

Indian Ocean 2004 150,000

South China Sea 1782 40,000

South Java Sea 1883 36,500

Tokaido-Nankaido, Japan 1707 30,000

Sanriku, Japan 1896 26,360

Northern Chile 1868 25,674

Southwest Kyushu Island, Japan 1792 15,030

Moro Gulf, Philippines 1976 8,000

Tokaido-Kashima, Japan 1703 5,233

Nankaido, Japan 1605 5,000

A. Two. B. Five. C. Six. D. Four.

60. Which century has the most tsunamis according to the chart?

A. 18th century. B. 19th century.

( C )

When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.
   So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.
Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and it is found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.
Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we' re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.
Just as crying can be healthy, not crying - holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering - can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural  - and healthy - emotional response (反应).
62. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?
A. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.
B. Because she did not love her grandmother.
C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.
D. The author doesn’t give the explanation.
63. It can be inferred from the text that ______.
A. there are two ways to keep healthy
B. crying does more good to health than laughing
C. crying and laughing play the same roles
D. emotional health has a close relationship to physical health
64. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?
A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.
B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.
C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.
D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.
65. What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Power of Tears         B. How to Keep Healthy
C. Why We Cry           D. A New Scientific Discovery
( D )

Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don't know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.” He hasn't forgotten them. He' s just decided that he' s not going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home. “Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.
66. This text is most probably written by ______.
A. a specialist in teenager studies             

B. a headmaster of a middle school
C. a parent with teenage children              

D. a doctor for mental health problems
67. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. the change from good to bad that ' s seen in a child
B. the way that parents often blame themselves
C. the opinion that a child has of his parents
D. the advice that parents want their children to follow
68. The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as ______.
A. lazy           B. quiet              C. unusual           D. rude
69. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ______.
A. pay no attention to them                   

B. are too busy to look after them
C. have come to hate them                    

D. feel helpless to do much about them
70. What is the author's opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?
A. Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.
B. Parents should pay still more attention to the change.
C. Parents should work more closely with school teachers.
D. Parents are at fault for the change in their children.

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

注意：每空1个单词

The World Band, the United Nations and the London School of Hygienne and Tropical Medicine did a study to urge hand-washing around the world. They found that one million lives could be saved each year if people washed their hands with soap often. They said that programs to increase hand-washing with soap could be among the most effective ways to reduce infectious(有传染性的)disease.

Doctors say, many diseases can be prevented from spreading by hand-washing. These include pinworms，influenza, the common cold, hepatitis A, meningitis and infectious diarrhea.

Hand-washing destroys germs from other people, animals or objects a person has touched. When people get becteria(细菌) on their hands, they can infect themselves by touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Then these people can infect other people.

The experts say the easiest way to catch a cold is to touch your nose or eyes after someone nearby has sneezed or coughed. Another way to become sick is to eat food prepared by someone whose hands were not clean.

The experts say that hand-washing is especially important before and after preparing food, before eating or after using the toilet. People should wash their hands after handling animals or animal waste, and after cleaning a baby. The experts say it is also a good idea to wash your hands after handling money and after sneezing or coughing. And it is important to wash your hands often when someone in your home is sick. The experts say the most effective way to wash your hands is to rub them together while using soap and warm water. They say you don’t have to use special antibacterial soap. Be sure to rub all areas of the hands for about ten to fifteen seconds. The rubbing action helps remove germs. Then rinse(冲洗) the hands with water and dry them.

One possible version :

The winter holiday is coming . Our class have had a discussion about what to do during the holiday . Some are in favor of staying at home . They think it’s both convenient and comfortable . What’s more ,they can save money for other purposes . But they will lose the chance of getting to know the outside world .

However , others prefer to go out for traveling since it can increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons . But they will spend more money and meet some difficulties while traveling .

In my opinion , it would be much better to stay at home , for I can do what I like ,such as reading books , watching TV , and helping my parents with the housework .
