第三部分：阅读理解（共15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
When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”
I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘holidays” is ‘vacancies’. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‘VACANCIES’, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‘NO VACANCIES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said ‘Thank you’ in French. I meant that I would like some more, However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that ‘Thank you’ in French means ‘No, thank you.’
56. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.
A. learning English B. finding places to stay in England
C. driving their car on English roads D. going to England by car
57. I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ______.
A. they would be able to practice their English
B. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels
C. it would be convenient for them to have dinner
D. there would be no problem about finding accommodation there
58. “NO VACANCIES” in English means ______.
A. no free rooms B. free rooms C. not away on holiday D. holidays
59. If you see a road sign that says ‘Diversion’, you will ______.
A. fall into a hole
B. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself
C. find that the road is blocked by crowds of people
D. have to take a different road
B
I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way.
Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn't even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more intent while standing up?
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.
Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids' best cheerleaders; guiding them and helping them find their way.
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids' ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn't mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. It makes us free and happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live their own life.
60．At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him ________.
A. pay more attention to his study B. keep silent in the room
C. finish his homework on time D．get right answers
61．Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt ________.
A．the importance of parents B．the old form of education
C．the relationship between kids and their parents D．the good grades of some kids
62．According to the passage, which of the following statements is right?
A．We should help kids correct their wrong ways.
B．Parents should study their kids' DNA.
C．Kids should be taught to behave themselves.
D．Parents should love and accept their kids.
63．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A．Study hard and you'll be successful B．Be friendly to your children
C．Children's success in their own style D．Parents' help with their children's study
C
A camera, a glove, a hand tool, even a toothbrush ... they are all up there, above the clouds, going around and around the Earth. There are also thousands of pieces of metal and plastic. Some of them are only about the size of a fingernail. Many are much larger. Scientists consider all these objects to be space_junk and they are a problem.
Since people first launched rockets into space in the 1950s, we have been leaving behind all sorts of things. Much of the space junk is made up of little pieces of things that were once bigger objects, until they struck each other and broke apart. Sometimes larger pieces survive the extreme heat through the atmosphere and hit the ground or the ocean at great speeds.
But space junk falling on housetops is not the biggest worry. Scientists are concerned about the Kessler syndrome. It is named after the American scientist who first thought of the idea in 1978. Imagine what happens when an empty rocket strikes another while orbiting the Earth. Two big things become many smaller things. They then hit other things. The pieces get smaller and smaller until they form a cloud of junk that blocks the path of future space vehicles.
Marco Castronuovo, an Italian Space Agency researcher, suggested launching a satellite into space that would get very close to some of the larger pieces of space junk. The satellite would connect a small rocket to the useless object. When the rocket explodes, it pushes the junk into a lower and slower orbit, nearer the Earth. After a time, the junk burns up in the atmosphere.
Scientists have been concerned about space junk for many years. Right now, the costs of the clean-up have been too great. Mr. Castronuovo says his system could be put in place for a much more reasonable amount of money.
64．What does the underlined part “space junk” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．It refers to small pieces of things that were once bigger objects.
B．It refers to objects that survived the extreme heat through the atmosphere.
C．It refers to clouds that are made up of small objects in space.
D．It refers to all kinds of objects that have been left behind in space.
65．Why do scientists consider the Kessler syndrome a big problem?
A．Space junk clouds are likely to block the path of spacecraft.
B．An empty rocket might strike a spacecraft orbiting the Earth.
C．Space junk might fall onto the Earth, causing damage.
D．Space junk becomes bigger and bigger until hard to get rid of.
66．What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A．Smaller objects come together to form clouds of space junk.
B．Human beings are responsible for space junk.
C．Space junk is a big problem human beings have to find ways to solve.
D．An Italian researcher has found a good way to remove space junk.

One possible version:
Some people like sport while others not in our life. Recently, our school conducted a survey about whether the school should hold a sports meeting or not, students’ opinions are divided on the topic.
80﹪of the students think sport does them good. First of all, sport helps them build up their strength, keeping them healthy. In addition, it helps develop students’ ability to cooperate with each other. Plus, students can learn to deal with success and failure through competition in the sports meeting, thus encouraging them to push themselves hard in their studies.
However, 20﹪of them hold the opposite view, arguing that sport is not the only way to keep healthy. What’s worse, some of them might get injured in the sports meeting. Besides, taking part in the sports meeting, they think , will have a negative effect on their studies.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s a good choice to hold a sports meeting. For one thing, we can develop team spirit by participating in sports and games. For another, it’s a good way of relaxing ourselves, making our school life colorful.
