III.阅读理解：40分(共20小题；每小题2分，共40分)
A
Olive Bowen made some hot coffee and brought it to her husband Nate, who was over in the barn (牛舍). Olive herself was expecting a baby very soon.
The darkness in the barn made Olive nervous and she stood at the door, not sure what to do. Then she saw a light at the far end and called out to Nate. Nate held his lantern high as he came up to Olive and said, "You shouldn't have come out when it's so cold."
"I brought you some hot coffee," Olive kept looking into the darkness of the barn to see where Maudie was.
"I don't want you to stay," Nate said.
"Oh, no, Nate, I don't want to leave. If it begins to happen, I'11 go back to the house."
He helped Olive sit down in a chair and told her again that he did not want her to stay when their cow Maudie's calf came. It wasn't something a young wife should see, especially a young wife who would soon be a mother herself.
The cow lay quietly. The husband and wife did not say much as they waited; words did not seem to come easily to them.
Time seemed to be moving too slowly for Olive. She looked nervously at the cow. Then Nate began to rub the cow's head, but the cow turned its head away from his hands and then suddenly it came. Olive could see it clearly--- part of the head of the young calf slowly, painfully coming out.
But Nate saw that the cow was in trouble. He looked for a nail(钉子) on the wall where he could hang his lamp. There was none. Olive said he should have asked a neighbor to help him. Suddenly, Olive saw that Nate was also afraid---fearful that the cow's struggle would be too much for him alone. And at that moment she decided that nothing could drive her out of the barn. The emergency changed Olive. She no longer felt fearful. There was a sudden new strength in her.
Nate told her not to look, but she had to look. As she watched, Olive was afraid, but not of the cow or even herself. She was fearful of the calf. At last, it was done.
Olive and Nate were both tired. Olive remembered the coffee she had brought to the barn, She put it on the hot stove. Nate dried the calf with a cloth. As he worked, Olive looked through the barn window. She saw the apple trees with snow on them, the light in her kitchen and the beauty of the morning sun.
36. Nate didn't want Olive to stay in the barn because______.
A. it was too cold in the barn
B. Olive was afraid of darkness
C. there was nothing for Olive to sit on
D. it was not good for Olive to see Maudie's giving birth
37. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 8 probably refers to______
A. the time of the calf's birthB. Nate's nervousness
C. a neighbor's frightening voiceD. Olive's anxiety
38. How did Olive finally feel about Maudie's giving birth?
A. Nervous.B. Fearless. C. Tired. D. Imaginative.
39. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that Olive______.
A. began to feel hopeful about life
B. appreciated the scene out of the window
C. loved apples very much
D. would like to have breakfast
B
How to sing like a superstar is a question people have been asking for ages. We naturally look up to the stars we want to sound like when we’re young and just experimenting with singing. But as we get older, we find that we have our own voice.
In my opinion, you can only be a superstar if you find your own voice. If you want to sound great and attract people, just get comfortable with your own voice. Do you think Bob Dylan has a great voice? Of course not, but people love his voice and his songs. One of the main reasons is that he’s very comfortable with himself and his own voice. So remember this when you’re asking yourself how to sing like a superstar.
I hate hearing many singers trying to imitate other singers! But it still happens all the time and yes, some of them do become famous by trying to sound like others. I just don’t feel like I’m listening to real art when I hear these so-called stars trying to imitate someone else with their voice.
Now one thing I like to do is to sing other people’s songs in my own voice. Yes, you can practice a great song by an artist you love while you’re driving down the road, but practice it in your own voice not his or her voice. Turn down the volume a little and hear your own natural voice singing the song and giving it a new flavor!
That’s exciting and you’re being true to yourself. We’re supposed to be artists and that means expressing ourselves in a unique way. So if you’re asking how to sing like a superstar, remember to just use your own voice.
40. The author uses Bob Dylan as an example in order to tell us _______.
A. how to become a great singer
B. that we should feel comfortable with our own voice
C. how to have a great voice
D. that a great voice helps to make a great singer
41. What advice does the author give on practicing singing?
A. Never sing others’ songs. B. Practice singing in your car.
C. Sing the song in your own style. D. Turn off the music while singing.
42. What can we infer from the text?
A. The author is a famous singer.
B. Young people tend to imitate the stars they love.
C. People love songs sung in a particular way.
D. It’s not real art to sing other people’s songs.
43. The text tries to persuade us to ________.
A. practice singing in the right wayB. express ourselves by singing
C. singing in our own voiceD. enjoy singing

Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (contents) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain（普通的）packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology (心理) behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.
48. All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 except ____.
A. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
B. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands
C. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items
D. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands
49. What does the writer think about ads?
A. They are believable.B. They are attractive.
C. They are helpful to consumers.D. They are full of misinformation.
50. One of the author’s suggestions to consumers is ____.
A. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
B. to make use of ads
C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch
D. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands
51. The author implies that ____.
A. ads sometimes don’t tell the truth
B. the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively low
C. discount clothing stores are good places to go to
D. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy more than you plan to

Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical（批判性的）thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes（过程）. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.
The word "critical" here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen―beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning (错误的推理).
Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker; if you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.
Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today's world, fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banish Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, "Please go slowly, I don't understand things quickly."
52.Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically,_______.
A. it will be hard for us to think naturally and fast
B. we will follow the ideas of others naturally
C. we might be controlled by other people's ideas
D. we might be fooled by other people's ideas
53. If you are a critical thinker, you will________.
A. criticize other people for their mistakes
B. trust the reports in the newspapers
C. take one view against another view
D. think deeply about different ideas
54. In the last paragraph, "something new" suggests that________.
A. the smarter you are, the faster you do things
B. intelligence is not decided by speed
C. speed can improve intelligence
D. the faster you do things, the smarter you become
55. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Understanding Critical ThinkingB. Thinking and Critical Thinking
C. Thinking Natural and HumanD. Thinking Fast Means Intelligence

M: Hello, Helen. You’ve got about 3 part-time jobs, and you’re a wife and you’re a mother of 2 little girls. I’m wondering how you manage stress. I mean, when there is just too much going on, what do you do?
W: I usually get some exercise, even if it’s only 18 minutes. Sometimes I may take
my baby on a fast 18-minute walk with the dog. It’s very relaxing, you know.
M: Now, so, you use exercise as one of the ways. How do you find enough time to
sleep? You’ve got to do certain things. How do you get enough rest and relaxation?
W: I do, yeah. I think, that’s a good point. One of the by-products from exercising
regularly is that I can sleep throughout the entire night, 7.5 to 8 hours.
M: How about eating habits? Do you think eating probably has something to do with
stress?
W: Of course, it does. I love to have a piece of dark chocolate but not too much. Many
people will overeat when they are stressed out. They stay up and eat all those
cookies without thinking about it. That’s going to make things even worse.
M: I see. Thank you, Helen.
(Text10)
W: Have I got any punishment when I was young? Well, yes, of course. I was only punished once while I was at school and that was only because I was forced to do something I didn’t want to do. I got punished because of a boy, who I was really frightened of. He used to cheat in exams by hiding his notes in a toilet paper roll and going to the toilet shortly after the exam had started in order to read them. It was quite a clever idea, but he got caught after a teacher found them. Then he tried writing his notes on the classroom wall but when he moved the desk so that he could read them, a teacher saw him and he had to stop. Then, one day, he told me he would be sitting behind me and I was to move my paper so that he could read what I’d written. I did as he had said, but a teacher saw us and we were both punished. I had to write a composition about honesty but I think the teacher realised what had happened because she apologised for having to punish me. I can hardly forget the experience.
