第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，31分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的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
Several years ago, Jim Turner heard a program on the radio for the N.C. Children’s Hospital and decided he could use his love of origami art to help the hospital raise money for much-needed programs.
So at the age of 13, Turner began making origami greeting cards and selling them to florists and stationery stores to benefit the hospital. His fundraising program, known as Heartbeats for Kids, has since raised more than $ 2,500 for the hospital. “The first cards I made had a heart in them and you could remove the heart from the card and make it beat,” Turner says, explaining how he came up with the name for the fundraiser.
Now a 17-year-old high school junior, Turner has less time to devote to card-making, because origami is labor intensive and each card can take up to 30 minutes to design. But Turner still enjoys origami art and has created original designs that have been selected for exhibits that tour the country and world.
Turner is an interesting mixture of engineer, artist and philanthropist. His mother, Peggy Turner, says folding origami is a combination of math and art that has helped her son develop his spatial visualization of 3-D objects. Turner is also involved in community service at school and at his church. He was named a Distinguished Finalist this year for the 2010 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards for his community service activities, including the Heartbeats for Kids project. In the process of his volunteer efforts, Turner also managed to be one of the only 381 youths in the country to earn the top score of 2,400 on his SAT.
Making and selling the greeting cards has taught Turner about managing a small business. “I learned you need to have somebody who will support you,” he says. “Businesses I sell to have been very nice to me.”
The cards benefit not only the hospital, but also the people who buy the cards or get the cards. Turner sees it as a way to bring people together.
55. Turner’s original purpose of making and selling his cards was to _______.
A. show his love for origami art B. collect money for the hospital
C. learn how to manage a business D. bring more people together
56. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that card making _________.
A. needs physical and mental work B. is well worth admiring
C. takes up a lot of Turner’s time D. is difficult to learn
57. What does the writer tell us about Turner?
A. He has already become a successful businessman.
B. He spends a lot of his time working for his church.
C. He designs a heart in each card that has been made.
D. He does well in both his lessons and community service.
58. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. a kid who makes a difference B. origami art that helps earn money
C. making and selling greeting cards D. getting involved in community service
B
Dear Dad，
Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.
You’ll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father’s Days together. I haven’t always been with you on Father’s Day but I’ve always been with you in my heart.
You know, Dad, there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.
The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear（档位）when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the '54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who sent me home after you reported the Chevy stolen didn’t have much tolerance for a stubborn 16 year old, while you were so tolerant about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.
Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line, the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine.
But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn’t immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.
I guess what I’m trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Father’s Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It’s about loving someone more than words can say，and it’s wishing that it never had to end.
I love you, Dad.
Love,
Jenny
59. How did Jenny probably feel on the night she was sent home by the police?
A. Disappointed. B. Nervous. C. Guilty. D. Frightened.
60. We can learn from the passage that Jenny and her father__________.
A. kept in touch by writing each other B. are separated due to the generation gap
C. have been getting along very well D. had a hard time understanding each other
61. Why did Jenny feel strange when she saw her father last week?
A. She seldom saw him driving that huge car.
B. She had never realized his being old and weak.
C. She didn’t expect to meet with him there.
D. She had never seen him driving so slowly before.
C
While some scientists overlook the existence of a sixth sense for danger, a new research from Washington University in St. Louis has identified a brain area that clearly acts as an early warning system and helps us adjust our behavior to avoid dangerous situations.
“Our brains are better at picking up not obvious warning signs than we previously thought,” said Joshua Brown, PhD, a research associate in psychology in the Feb. 18 issue of the journal Science.
The findings offer exact scientific evidence for a new way to form a concept of the complex control processes taking place in and around the ACC, a brain area located near the top of the frontal lobes and along the walls that divide the left and right hemispheres（大脑半球）.
“In the past, we found activity in the ACC when people had to make a difficult decision, or after they made a mistake,” Brown said. “But now we find that this brain area can actually learn to recognize when you might make a mistake, even before a difficult decision has to be made. So the ACC appears to act as an early warning system—it learns to warn us in advance when our behavior might lead to a negative outcome, so that we can be more careful and avoid making a mistake.”
By providing a clearer picture of the cognitive mechanisms(认知结构) by which we self monitor and control our behavior, the study is an important step in efforts to develop more effective treatments for mental illnesses. It also provides a new way of understanding inappropriate behaviors that often accompany mental illnesses.
“Our results suggest how injury of the ACC mechanisms can lead to breakdowns in the early warning system, so that the brain fails to stop or control inappropriate behavior ahead of time,” said Brown. “On the other hand, in those persons with mental disorder, the ACC might warn of an upcoming problem even when no problem is in the existence.”
Known to be an important part of the brain’s control system, the ACC is believed to help adjust between cold, hard, fact-based reasoning and emotional responses, such as love, fear or expectation.
62. According to the passage, the ACC _____________.
A. refers to the sixth sense for danger B. deals with obvious warning signs
C. connects the left and right hemispheres D. sends warning messages in advance
63. The new research is beneficial because it __________.
A. provides a new way of avoiding mistakes
B. adjusts emotional responses in time of danger
C. helps find better treatments for mental illnesses
D. assists people in predicting and avoiding danger
. The new research helps us understand ____________.
A. why we are likely to make mistakes when the ACC is badly injured
B. why people with mental illnesses usually have strange behaviors
C. how the ACC works when something dangerous happens
D. how our brain warns us of failure in advance
D
The Celebration Experiment
In the 1960s, Walt Disney pictured in the mind a future utopian city with underground roads and a climate-controlled round roof. The real community of Celebration, Florida, built in 1999, applies the social and environmental goals of both Disney and the New Urbanism movement.
Disney and the New Urbanism have imagined communities that promote social and local communication. Celebration has a central Market Street district to reduce traffic and encourage social contacts. The idea is that if the downtown area is neatly and closely ranked, people will walk and meet their neighbors. Downtown events like art festivals also bring citizens together. Narrow, tree-lined streets are “traffic calm”—with slower speed limits—to encourage bicycling and walking.
Moreover, housing in Celebration includes both single- and multi-family houses that encourages socialization. Apartment buildings are located close to downtown, and houses are built close together with small yards. They feature entrance halls to encourage citizens to socialize.
“Many aspects of that kind of design are really aimed at maximizing social communication between citizens, not just on the streets but also in community institutions that are very much a part of public life there,” says Andrew Ross, a New York University professor who lived in Celebration for one year.
Utopian communities such as Celebration are also designed with environmental protection in mind. The town itself is built on 4,900 acres surrounded by a 4,700 acre protected greenbelt. The greenbelt parks, and common areas accommodate native wildlife and animals.
High-rise office and apartment buildings provide close office and living space in a small geographic area in order to reduce urban sprawl, the spread of today’s cities onto nature areas. Buildings also minimize environmental influence by using cooling and electric systems with insulated（绝缘的;隔热的）glass, cooling towers, and energy-saving lamps.
“The town more or less borrows very heavily from New Urbanist principles … to create environmentally friendly alternatives to sprawl and to create communities around people rather than vehicles,” Ross said.
65. Celebration mentioned in the passage is a __________.
A. city offering living spaces B. community promoting socialization
C. special occasion in the market D. downtown area with high buildings
66. The purpose of holding Art festivals mentioned in Paragraph 2 is to __________.
A. exhibit art works B. attract artists for profits
C. encourage communication D. reduce downtown traffic
67. The underlined word “sprawl” in Paragraph 6 may be replaced by “ ________”.
A. expansion B. organization C. restriction D. exploration

Now it is job hunting season again. The job fairs flood with hundreds and thousands of 2011 graduate students. Owing to the global financial crisis, most of the graduate students admit that job hunting is not that easy any longer.
It is always a painful process for college students to find jobs. 68 However, job positions are quite limited. In order to get a job, the candidates should be more competitive than ever before.
A Chinese expert predicted that the job hunting pressure in China, with a rocketing increase in the active labor force, would reach its climax in 2006. Yet, this situation continues in 2010. In order to transfer the human resources that are more than needed or wanted to the less developed areas in China, the government has tried to launch a series of policies to help release the pressure. 69
70 A higher education may be more helpful to find a good job in the future, while the temptation of an exciting job and the strong will of being a “real” adult urge the youth to step into society early. For example, when an undergraduate mechanical science and technology major at a famous university is preparing for his postgraduate exam, he receives an offer from a big foreign company one day. 71 Anyway, it is really tough to prepare for the postgraduate examination.
72 This is a tough time and everyone should have some shining points to win the employers’ favor. As products of universities, college students are expected to be first-rate talents and should step into the excellent group in the society. However, these students may achieve unexpected success in the fields where their professional knowledge functions to its maximization.
A. Most probably, he is so excited that he decides to quit the exam next year.
B. Almost everyone worries about the result of the postgraduate examination.
C. “Survival of the fittest.” Darwin’s evolution theory appears in the personnel market.
D. With many colleges enlarged in recent years, large numbers of graduates need to hunt jobs.
E. What’s more, financial support is provided to encourage the graduates to start their own career.
F. To go on with further education or to find a job is one of the hardest decisions for the graduate
students to make now
G. Competition for a job would be fierce as graduates this year will have to join the job hunting
group from previous years.
