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
A ticket for the Titanic's ill-fated voyage that belonged to the
last survivor with memories of the disaster was sold to a collector from the
United States at a British auction (拍卖) Saturday.
Lillian Asplund, who died in 2006 at the age of 99, was 5 years old
when the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank during its maiden voyage from England
to New York in 1912. Her father and three siblings (同胞) were among the 1,500 people who
died.
She was the last American survivor of the disaster and the last with
memories of it. There are at least two alive survivors who had been too young
at the time of the sinking to recall their experience.
Asplund's ticket was sold for $65,772, auctioneer（拍卖商）Andrew Aldridge said.
Another key item sold from Asplund's collection was her father's
pocket watch, which reportedly stopped at the exact moment the ship sank.
Aldridge said the hands of the watch were stopped at 2:19 a.m., when Asplund's father Carl fell into
the North Atlantic and seconds before the
Titanic disappeared beneath the waves.
The watch was bought by a Swedish collector for $61,786, Aldridge
said.
He said most of Asplund's collection of 364 items ― which included
rare photographs of the Titanic and post cards printed to mark the voyage ― had
been sold at Saturday's auction.
The lots（拍卖品）were previously kept at Asplund's home in Massachusetts and had
never been seen before in public, he said.
Asplund's parents, Carl and Selma,
and their five children were traveling on the Titanic as they headed from their
home in Sweden to the U.S. to make a new life in Worcester, Massachusetts,
Aldridge said.
Lillian, her youngest sibling, Felix, and their mother, Selma, all survived the
sinking.
56. We can
learn from the passage that ___________.
A. the ticket and the watch were sold for
$61,786.
B. Asplund’s parents wished to make a new
life in America.
C. Lillian was the only child in the
family.
D. Lillian was then too young to remember the
experience.
57. Which of
the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Lillian Asplund was the last
survivor who could remember the disaster.
B. Lillian Asplund was the last survivor of
the disaster.
C. All of Asplund’s collection had
been sold.
D. The Titanic sank beneath the waves before
2:19 am.
58. What
happened to Asplund’s collection before the auction?
A. An American collector
bought the Titanic ticket.
B. They were exhibited
in the museum.
C. They were kept secretly
at Asplund’s home.
D. Nobody wanted to buy
all the collection.
59. The passage
is mainly about ___________.
A. the Titanic belongings of the last US survivor
were sold.
B. Asplund’s ticket was
sold for $65,772.
C. Lillian survived the
sinking with her mother and her little brother.
D. Lillian had some rare photographs of
the Titanic and some post cards.
B
In our life,
we have rarely expressed our gratitude to the one who lived those years with
us. In fact, we don't have to wait for anniversaries（周年纪念日）to
thank the ones closest to us and the ones so easily overlooked. If I have
learned anything about giving thanks, it is this: give it now! While your
feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere, act on it. Saying thanks is such
an easy way to add to the world's happiness.
Saying thanks
not only brightens someone else's world, it brightens yours. If you're feeling
left out, unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to others. It may be just
the medicine you need. Of course, there are times when you can't express
gratitude immediately. In that case, don't let embarrassment sink you into
silence and speak up the first time you have the chance.
Once a young
minister, Mark Brian, was sent to a remote parish（教区）of
Kwakiutl Indians in British Columbia. The Indians, he had been told, did not
have a word for thank you. But Brian soon found that these people had unusual
generosity. Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to return every favor
with a favor of their own, and every kindness with an equal or superior
kindness. They do their thanks. I wonder if we had no words in our vocabulary
for thank you, would we do a better job of communicating our gratitude? Would
we be more responsive, more sensitive, more caring?
Thankfulness
sets in motion a chain reaction that transforms people all around us ?including
ourselves. For no one ever misunderstands the melody（旋律）of
a grateful heart. Its message is universal; its poems transcend（超越）all
earthly barriers; its music touches the heaven.
60. Who do we easily forget to express our thanks to
according to the writer?
A.
Friends not meeting for a long time. B. Former teachers and
friends.
C.
People we want to get close to. D.
Our family members and good friends.
61. When we say something for what others do for us, it ___________.
A.
benefits to people who do something for us
B. is
good for both us and people who help us
C.
waste our and our friends’ time at the same time
D.
does harm to both us and people who help us
62. What does the writer mean in the third paragraph?
A. The
only way to thank others is to express by your own words.
B. The
best way to thank others is to do something for them.
C. We
can thank people who help us in various ways.
D. We
can thank people who help us in two ways.
63. The way to make us feel happy is ___________ when we think we ourselves are forgotten in the world.
A. to
help and appreciate others
B. to ask others to help us
C. to remind others of our helping
them D. to ask
someone to help others
C

Failure is
part of the human condition. Most parents work hard at either preventing
failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower levels. A mother describes her child's quickly
making table as "Perfect"!
Even though it shakes on unbalanced legs. Another way is to shift (转嫁) blame. If
John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid. The trouble of doing such
things is that children are not well-prepared for life in the real world. The
young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all
the time, and that it's possible to enjoy a game even when you don't win. The
young should be allowed to experience disappointment and be helped to master
it.
Failure is
never pleasurable. It hurts adults and children. But it can make a positive
contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Ask yourself what you did
wrong, how you can improve. Success, which encourages repetition of old
behavior, is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. You can learn from a
disastrous（失败的）party how to
give a good one, from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second. Even a failure
that seems definitive can produce fresh
thinking, a change of direction. After 12 years of studying
ballet (芭蕾舞) a friend of mine was turned down.
"Would further training help?" she asked. The ballet master shook his
head. "You haven't the body for it."
In such
cases, the way to use failure is to learn the lesson quickly, asking “What have
I left? What else can I do?" My friend put away her toe shoes and moved
into dance treatment, a field where she is both competent (能力强) and
useful. Failure frees one to take risks because there's less to lose.
68.
The writer shows a(n) ___________ attitude to the behaviors of most parents.
A. positive B.
neutral C. negative D.
passive
69. In the second paragraph, the writer describes
the contribution of failure from ___________ aspect(s ).
A. one B.
two
C.
three
D. more
than three
70. According to the passage, we can learn something useful based on
___________.
A. what we love B. what we can do
C. what we experienced
D. what we have achieved
71. The best title
of the passage is “___________”.
A. The More Failure, the
Better
B. Learning from Failure
C. Failure Is an Experience of Life
D. Failure Is Our Mother

Dressage (盛装舞步)
rider Liu Lina is the first Chinese rider to have qualified for an equestrian (马术) event at
the Games.
“We got the letter from the
International Equestrian Federation (FEI) this week saying Liu’s result (in
March) has been approved and she is the first Chinese rider to qualify for the
Olympics,” the country’s equestrian chief Cheng Qing said.
Liu’s qualification has made
the host’s dream of providing an athlete for every sport at the Games come
true.
As the host country of the
Olympics, China was given six equestrian berths (名额)―four in
jumping and one in both dressage and eventing. Riders only needed to meet the
minimum qualification standards to participate in the Game.
The 29-year-old rider from
the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is certainly the best dressage rider in
the country, having won several national titles.
Supported by the local
sports bureau (体育局), since 2006 she has been training in
Germany, one of the sport’s powerhouses (体育强国).
And it is estimated（估计）a rider needs to spend around
2.5million to compete in the Olympics.
“She has made great progress
there thanks to world-class training facilities(设施) and
training methods,” Cheng said. “Her results were much better than the Olympic
qualification standards.”
Liu will continue her
preparations in Germany
before the games to further enhance her skills. Five Chinese riders and
their horses have been registered with FEL, the sport’s governing body, in
order to make their way to Hong Kong, where
the equestrian events are to be held.
72. How long
will Liu Lina have been trained abroad by the time of the games?
A. Less than one year.
B. One year.
C. More than two years.
D. Less than two years.
73. From the passage we know that equestrian
events will be held in __________.
A. Beijing B. Hongkong C.
Shanghai
D. Xinjiang
74. The underlined word “enhance” in the last
paragraph refers to ___________.
A. improve B.
create C.
construct
D. inspire
75. We can
conclude from the text that ___________.
A. Chinese
athletes will participate in all the sports
B. Five Chinese
riders all have been trained abroad
C. Liu Lina
has been trained in China
since 2006
D. Liu Lina
is the only Chinese dressage rider athlete
