One day a few years ago we had a guest of the uninvited variety. In fact, it was a bird, 36, a sparrow.
“What’s that?” I asked when I first heard the gentle thumping（重击声）. “It sounds like Joe is outside playing basketball,” my wife, Anita, said. She 37 and listened more devotedly. “It’s coming from the 38 .” she said. “Maybe it’s one of the little kids.”
We rushed out the door. Jonathan, our youngest, was 39 to make trouble. “If he’s making holes in the wall again…” I said as I searched there. No 40 at all. But there was that 41 again, coming from right up there.
And that’s when I 42 the sparrow. It was flying 43 just inches below the ceiling. It was 44 trying to get out, but couldn’t see that the way out wasn’t up, but down 45 the open door. So the bird continued 46 its wings and hitting its head against the 47 .
“Poor thing,” Anita said. “It must be 48 .”
“Well, maybe it’s because of us,” I said as I moved toward it. I tried to show the bird how to glide（滑翔）down to get outside, but that only seemed to 49 it more. “Why don’t we just 50 for a few minutes?” Anita suggested. “I’m sure he’ll 51 eventually.” So we went back into the house, where we continued to hear the ongoing 52 . Then suddenly, it was 53 . We looked into the garage, and our uninvited guest was gone.
“See?” Anita said. “I told you he’d succeed.”
“Yeah,” I said. “But how many knocks on the head did it 54 him?”
I’ve thought about that little sparrow through the years. Just like that sparrow, we often meet situations, we don’t know how to 55 . Born to go upward, we don’t even consider the possibility that something good might happen if we stop flapping（拍打）around and just glide down a little bit.

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
An Australian man who has been donating his extremely rare kind of blood for 56 years has saved the lives of more than two million babies.
James Harrison has an antibody in his plasma(血浆) that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease, a form of severe anaemia. He has enabled countless mothers to give birth to healthy babies, including his own daughter, Tracey, who had a healthy son thanks to her father's blood.
Mr. Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18 years old and has now racked up a total of 984 donations. When he started donating, his blood was deemed so special that his life was insured for one million Australian dollars.
He was also nicknamed the “man with the golden arm” or the “man in two million”. He said, “I've never thought about stopping. Never!” He made a pledge to be a donor aged 14 after undergoing major chest surgery in which he needed 13 liters of blood. “I was in hospital for three months,” he said. “The blood I received saved my life so I made a pledge to give blood when I was 18.”
Just after he started donating he was found to have the rare and life-saving antibody in his blood. At the time, thousands of babies in Australia were dying each year of Rhesus disease. Other newborns suffered permanent brain damage because of the condition. The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood. It stems from one having Rh-positive blood and the other Rh-negative.
His blood has since led to the development of a vaccine called Anti-D. After his blood type was discovered, Mr. Harrison volunteered to undergo a series of tests to help develop the Anti-D vaccine. “They insured me for a million dollars so I knew my wife Barbara would be taken care of,” he said. “I wasn't scared. I was glad to help. I had to sign every form going and basically sign my life away.”
Mr. Harrison is Rh-negative and was given injections of Rh-positive blood. It was found his plasma could treat the condition and since then it has been given to hundreds of thousands of women. It has also been given to babies after they are born to stop them developing the disease.
It is estimated he has helped save 2.2 million babies so far. Mr. Harrison is still donating every few weeks now.
56. What does the underlined phrase “two million” refer to?
A. babies B. mothers C. dollars D. blood
57. Why did James decide to donate his blood? Because _____.
A. his daughter asked him to help her son
B. he has a golden arm worth a million dollars
C. a vaccine called Anti-D is to be developed
D. someone else’s blood saved his life
58. The sentence “The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood” (underlined in Paragraph 5) suggests that _____.
A. babies suffer permanent brain damage before born
B. the mother and the baby have different types of blood
C. Rhesus disease contributes to permanent brain damage
D. all the patients have a rare antibody in their blood
59. What can we infer from the sixth paragraph?
A. Some of the tests to develop the vaccine are dangerous.
B. His wife Barbara needed to be taken care of badly then.
C. Mr. Harrison was glad to help develop a new vaccine.
D. His blood type was accidentally discovered after tests.
B
Driving a car is more stressful than traveling by bus, according to a new research. A study by Dr David Lewis will be used as a major part of the Greener Journeys campaign. The aim is to persuade motorists up and down the country to abandon their cars for one billion journeys in the next four years ― in favor of traveling by bus.
Dr Lewis, from the University of Sussex, conducted an experiment in which the heart rate and EDR (皮肤电反应) of 30 volunteers were measured when taking identical or similar journeys by car as a driver and by bus as a passenger. The results indicated that stress was, on average, 33% lower when traveling by bus.
EDR measures the change in the response of a person’s skin to anxiety or stress. EDR can be a hidden stress. This type of stress can have long-term physical and emotional impacts. Taking a bus can produce long-term benefits.
Dr Lewis said there are three main factors that make driving a car stressful: heavy traffic causes the brain to work harder, traffic jams cause a build-up of anger and there is a sense of frustration that a person is “wasting one’s life” because few things can be done at the same time as driving. The study shows that driving in traffic jams now outweighs (超过) any previous benefits that driving in a private car once gave.
The Greener Journeys campaign will encourage people to get out of their cars and go by bus where it is convenient and realistic to switch. Claire Haigh, a spokesman for Greener Journeys, said the findings might persuade drivers ― who were already concerned about CO2 emissions ― that traveling by bus had health benefits as well as environmental ones. One fifth of motorists would be prepared to change to public transport for reasons to do with the environment. Just one double-decker bus can take 75 cars off the road, fairly reducing emissions levels.
60. According to the text, EDR ________.
A. reflects people’s ability in sports B. isn’t as obvious as anxiety or anger
C. has an immediate effect on health D. may create long-term benefits
61. Which of the following is NOT the cause that makes drivers stressed?
A. Drivers fear that there might be something wrong with their car.
B. Drivers focus on traffic with brains working at full speed.
C. Drivers feel more and more annoyed by serious traffic jams.
D. Drivers feel frustrated with their time being wasted in the traffic jam.
62. From the text we know that ________.
A. taking buses is good for health and the environment
B. governments should limit the production of cars
C. taking cars is the only cause of the emission of greenhouse gases
D. buses would become the main means of transportation in the future
63. We may read the text online in the section of ________.
A. economy B. fashion C. lifestyle D. entertainment
C

They have frightened some and attracted others. They are Wenlock and Mandeville, mascots of the London Olympic Games.
Since both of them have a camera for an eye, they are called one-eyed mascots. Their cameras will capture every great event on their journey to 2012. And they both have a taxi light on their heads, like the world-famous London black cabs. Wenlock’s head shape is meant to represent an Olympic podium and the three medals won in each event. Mandeville’s head features the three Paralympic colors.
Wenlock is the name of the English village considered by many to be the birthplace of the modern Olympics. People think its local games inspired Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who founded the International Olympic Committee.
The other mascot’s name is a reference to the village of Stoke Mandeville, where the Paralympic movement began.
The mascots are a central part of London’s business strategy and will feature in everything from T-shirts to tea towels. No doubt they will be seen under children’s arms as their favorite toys.
The 2012 Committee Chairman, Sebastian Coe, said, “We want them to be part of our fan base. We want them to engage with young people. They have in large part been designed and driven by what young people want.”
Young fans like their mascots to come with a backstory. Children’s author Michael Morpurgo came up with the idea that the mascots origin was from the last drops of molten steel left over from the construction of the Olympic Stadium.
Adults and organizers might argue but the most important audience for Wenlock and Mandeville are children. Ten-year-old Kira, from Essex in England, wrote to the BBC to say: “I think they are lovely! I love the Olympics and so does my sister!”
68. The two mascots are designed to have one eye each to represent _______.
A. a London taxi light B. a camera to record great events
C. a medal they will win D. the Olympic color
69. One of the mascots is called Wenlock because ________.
A. a famous cartoon figure is called Wenlock
B. it is the name of the village considered to be the birthplace of the modern Olympics
C. the first modern Olympic Games took place in the small village
D. the Paralympic movement began in the small village
70. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The mascots are made from the last drops of molten steel left over from the construction of the Olympic Stadium.
B. The mascots are designed and created by young people.
C. The mascots are mainly designed for the organizers’ business strategy.
D. Ten-year-old Kira liked the two mascots of the London Olympic Games.

There are many factors which may have an influence on adults and children being able to lead a healthy life.
71 . Often, both parents work outside the home. Children are expected to take on more responsibility at home to help their parents. They also have sporting and leisure activities as well as school expectations.
The business also adds another factor: The need to use cars to get from one place to another quickly. 72 . Computers，DVDs，CDs，television，PlayStations and Xboxes have become major leisure activities，rather than traditional more active pursuits. This has led to a lifestyle of less exercise.
73 . Unfortunately, they also promote fast food which fits easily into busy lifestyles. It is much more convenient at times to buy a quick takeaway rather than prepare a meal. The media constantly bombard (轰炸) their audience with “perfect” body images，the need to buy the most fashionable clothes，the most up-to-date computer games，the best places to visit and the best things to do.
Environments vary， 74 . This can be harmful to people who suffer from breathing difficulties. Environments where passive smoking is unavoidable make it difficult to lead a healthy life.
75 . Any person who wants to be healthy will find a way to be healthy ― if he/she is motivated enough!
A．The media provide entertainment and information.
B．Advertisements play an important role in people’s life.
C．We may be exposed to pollution, such as cigarette smoke.
D．Nowadays，people are very busy.
E．People are living in a bad air environment.
F．The important one is motivation or the desire to be healthy
G．Today society places a lot of emphasis on technology.
