第三部分:阅读理解。(共两节,满分40分)
第一节 (共15个小题,每小题2分,满分30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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Many of us already know about several American superstitions(迷信).Having a black cat cross your path, walking under a ladder, and breaking a mirror are all bad luck. In addition to these, there are many other superstitions that are worth knowing. Understanding them will keep you safe from evil spirits----if you believe in such things---and impress your American friends when you mention them.
Like the superstition on other cultures, American superstitions often involve the things important in daily life, such as health, numbers, and marriage. For example, have you ever had a cough that would not go away? According to one American superstition, you should take a piece of your hair and put it between two slices of buttered bread. Next, feed this hair sandwich to a dog and say,“Eat well, you hound, may you be sick and I be sound.” This will trick the evil spirits and help your cough. It will also raise some eyebrows if you try it.
In American superstitions, the number three is very important. Often, Americans will say, “All things come in threes.”Three is lucky because it represents the traditional family: mother, father, and child. Therefore, gifts, letters, and guests will often arrive at your home in groups of three. However, it is also possible for bad events, like accidents and funerals, to come in threes as well.
Another time people pay attention to superstitions is when they get married. During a wedding, brides must wear or carry “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.” The old and borrowed things will bring luck to the person who gives them to the bride. The new and blue things will bring good fortune to the bride herself. The next time someone you know is getting married, be sure to recite this phrase.
As it would be unlucky to discuss one more superstition, we will wind things up here. Keep your fingers crossed, and stay lucky!
56.The passage is most probably entitled “_________”.
A. American’s Bad Luck B. Cross-culture and Superstitions
C. American Superstitions D. Daily Life in Superstitions
57.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph “ It will also raise some eyebrows if you try it.” means________.
A. when you try it, the dog will raise its eyebrows
B. you will make some people surprised when you try this trick
C. only if you raise your eyebrows can the trick work
D. you will believe in the trick after you try it
58. In American’s view, the number three is a(n)_____number.
A. lucky B. unlucky C. special D. ordinary
59. On the wedding, the bride often uses old and borrowed things so as to_______.
A. save some money for the wedding
B. bring good luck to the people who gave them to the bride
C. give the good luck to the bride herself
D. pass the bad luck to others
60.After reading the passage, we may feel it is written in a ____tone.
A. formal B. serious C. humorous D. critical
B
American society is not nap friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, “There’s even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep.”Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb:“Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven.”
The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them.“We have to totally change our attitude toward napping,” says Dr.William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.
Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an “American sleep debt” which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, President Barack Obama is trying to take a half-hour snooze every afternoon.
About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have a “a mid afternoon quiet phase,” also called “a secondary sleep gate.” Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.
We Superstars of Snooze don’t nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather, we “snack” on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.
61.It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is_____.
A.unreasonable B. criminal C. harmful D. costly
62.The reason done by the Dement Commission shows that Americans____.
A.don’t like to take naps
B.are terribly worried about their national debt
C.think that sleeping less is good for them
D.have caused many industrial and traffic accidents
63.The purpose of this article is to______.
A.warn us of the wickedness of napping
B.explain the danger of sleepiness
C.discuss the side effects of napping
D.convince the readers of the necessity of napping
.The “American sleep debt”(Line2,Para.3) is the result of______.
A.the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleep
B.the new sleep policy of the Obama Administration
C.the rapid development of American industry
D.the Americans’ worry about the danger of sleepiness
65.The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is ____.
A.preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shift
B.good practice to eat something light before we go to bed
C.essential to make up for lost sleep
D.natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for it
C
Are children’s growing pains real?
Your eight-year-old son can’t sleep because his legs ache. Your friend’s five-year-old daughter wakes up crying in the middle of the night with the same complaint. After mom or dad massages their legs, the children are able to fall asleep and awake in the morning feeling fine. By adolescence, the sporadic9(偶发的)night pains go away completely.
Commonly called “growing pains,” this phenomenon---both very real and a medical mystery---has nothing to do with growing, says Barbara Ostrov, division chief at Penn State’s Milton S.Hershey Medical Center.
If rapid growth is not the culprit(犯过错者),what is happening in those little legs that makes kids so uncomfortable?
“Actually, over the years nobody has really been able to understand what causes these symptoms and why it hits this age group so specifically,” says Ostrov, “We do know that growth itself does not cause pain,” she adds.
Doctors refer to this medical phenomenon as “non-specific limb pains of childhood’ and estimate that 20 percent of children aged 2 to 12 report mild to severe pain in their legs at night. There is no signs of something serious. There are no symptoms in the morning."When different patients come in, you’ll get the same histories,” says Ostrov,“One child will be from Reading, another will be from York or Altoona and the history is exactly the same. It’s a very clear, typical presentation. In most cases, the kid is fine in a half hour and wakes up in the morning as if nothing happened. And the pains always go away.
Children who experience these pains usually complain of feeling them in both legs anywhere from once a week to once per month. When children have limb pain three to four times a week, doctors typically order X-ray or blood tests.
Some studies indicate that causes of such pains share similarities with shin splints(小腿夹板),pain along the shins that can be a sign of overused muscles, stress caused by flat feet. Ostrov notes, this connection exists with parents’ observation that when their kids have an especially physically active day, their night leg pains can be worse.
Whatever their underlying cause, most of the time children with these types of limb pains have nothing to worry about, says Ostrov. The danger is that a parent or pediatrician(儿科医生) doesn’t carefully rule out more serious conditions if the child has persistent pain or a typical symptoms.
66.Leg pains usually happen______.
A. during the day B. during the night
C. after exercises D. in the morning
67.Leg pains usually hits_____.
A. a child below 12 B. teenagers
C. a child under five D. a lad in the twenties
68.The meaning of the underlined word “limb” is_____.
A. skin B. head C. tendon D. leg
69..We can infer from the passage that the writer’s attitude to leg pains is____.
A. worried B. calm C. anxious D. active
70.We can infer that following passage is about____.
A. result B. another study C. symptoms D. causes

Parents and doctors have the same worry over especially low birthweight newborns._71__A trend has therefore developed to make special formulas(配方)of extra nutrients and protein-rich foods for these tiny babies. Unfortunately, a British study has found that this practice could have negative long term effects, such as high blood pressure in adulthood.
Between 1993 and 1995,Atul Singhal of the Institute of Child Health and his colleagues researched 299 full-term newborns, each of whom weighed very little for their age. The babies’ moms had decided not to breastfeed(用母乳喂养).
___72____ The rest received a formula with more nutrients and 28 percent more protein than the standard formula. The growth of all of these children was compared to that of 175 similarly low birthweight babies whose mothers had chosen to breastfeed their children for their first 9 months.__73___ They found 83 babies from the normal-formula group,70 babies from the extra-formula group, and 95 babies from the breast fed group.__74____ According to the latest data, children who had received the extra formula had significantly higher blood pressures than those in the other two groups.
Seven human test have indeed shown that when infants are overfed before being stopped breastfeeding, they have an increased possibility to become fat as youngsters.
No matter how big a child is at birth, he or she will probably reach the same adult height no matter how quickly the baby grows. But reaching one’s adult size at a slow-to-moderate speed may have a lot of benefits, as Singhal says.__75___
A. Half of these children were given a normal infant(幼儿) formula for 9 months
B. When they grow up, they might have high blood pressure.
C. These babies have very little energy because they are so small.
D. Six to eight years later, the researchers gave the children a series of measurements and tests.
E. The results were quite surprising.
F. Tiny babies will grow much slower if they are not specially fed.
G. His advice to parents: Be patient. Don’t rush a child’s growth.
