26、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） 第一节：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。AA few years ago, my younger sister and I were the first to board our flight for Norfolk, Virginia. Just as we were about to board the plane, a mechanic came out of the aircraft and blocked the door with his arms. He turned to the flight
27、 attendant and hurriedly stated, “We got problems!”I thought to myself, “Why did I have to be the one to hear that? Why couldnt I have been at the back of the line? I didnt need to know that!” Very soon we were back in the terminal, waiting, and then finally back on the plane. I waited for the pilot
28、 to give an explanation. Pilots take courses to ease passengers mind, right? They know what to say to calm nerves.Unfortunately, I didnt think this pilot took that course. Soon his voice thundered throughout the plane, “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. We had no power on the plane. We have
29、 a generator on the ground right now, and were going to jump-start the engines. Once we get them going, well get up in the air and head to Norfolk, and see what happens.” See what happens? We were going to get up in the air, and see what happens? Couldnt we have another plan, one thats been worked o
30、ut just a little better?At this point, all I could do was to laugh nervously. One woman started yelling, “Oh no! Were going to crash!” There were sighs of desperation and anxiety spreading throughout the cabin. Finally, we got up in the air thirty minutes later, and what happened? Nothing -other tha
31、n thrust (推力) and lift. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched the ground than a round of applause burst out, as everyone throughout the airplane simultaneously (同时) breathed a sigh of relief.Although, I did sincerely like to have a plan better than “see what happens” worked out
32、 when flying - it really isnt such a bad life strategy. Success will never be guaranteed. The best thing you can do is just get up in the air, and see what happens. Sometimes adjustments would be made in the air, or shall we say, in the middle of the process.56. The purpose of the text is to _.A. in
33、troduce a frightening flight experience B. prove that taking a plane is dangerousC. show a strategy of making plans D. tell readers a life strategy57. What event was beyond the authors expectation? A. The mechanic explained the problems to the passengers.B. The pilot said nothing to calm the passeng

To avoid repeating failure, give yourself all the reasons why you cant.C. To set up a business, dont wait until you have everything you need.D. To achieve success, try to prep
36、are for the worseB It is unlawful for an employer to publish a discriminatory advertisement.How to identify a discriminatory(歧视的) advertisement: It must be read as a whole, and account must be taken not only of the words, but also of the pictures that it uses. Job titles that have sexual connotation
37、s（内涵） mean an intention to discriminate on the grounds of sex.Example 1 A notice in a restaurant window states: “Waiters required”. The word “waiters” has a male, not a female, connotation. The advertisement does not contain an equal opportunities statement and does not specify that the jobs are ope
38、n to men and women.Example2 A medical clinic places an advertisement for a nurse with a photograph of a female nurse. Nursing is an occupation that is traditionally associated with women. The advertisement does not contain an equal opportunities statement. Good practice checklist:Advertise widely so
39、 that as many suitably qualified people as possible have an opportunity to apply. Do not publish job advertisements in locations or publications where they are likely to be read wholly or mainly by people who share a particular community background, sex, race, disability, or age.Use language which i
40、s clear and simple and do not use abstract words. For example, when describing the working environment or the characteristics of desirable employees, do not use words like young, mature or energetic.Where possible, do not use job titles which have a male or female connotation. For example, do not us
41、e the following words- waiter/waitress salesman/ salesgirl postman manageress foremanstoreman matron chairman/ chairwoman head master/ mistress Instead, where possible, use job titles that have gender-neutral connotation, For example, the following words are appropriate- waiting staff sales assistan

44、ertisement for a designer, you should publish it in _.A. Southern Weekend B. Titan Sports C. Entertainment Weekly D. Shanghai lawyer C I must have been about fourteen then, and I put away the incident from my mind with the easy carelessness of youth. But the words, Carl Walter spoke that day, came b
45、ack to me years later, and ever since have been of great value to me.Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I was doing. I said three or four hours a day.“Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?”“I try to.”“Well, dont,” he said loudly. “
46、When you grow up, time wont come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will become a part of your life.”When I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to wr
47、ite, but class periods, theme-reading, and committee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the next week I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five min
48、utes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript (手稿) ready for revision. Later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal (零碎的) method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, in every day there we
49、re moments which could be caught and put to use.There is an important trick in this time-using principle: you must get into your work quickly. If you have but five minutes for writing, you cant afford to waste it in chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentr
50、ate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Carl Walter has had a significant infl
51、uence on my life. To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need, if I throw myself into it without delay.63. The meaning of “stretch” in the underlined part is the same as that in the sentence “ ”.A. The dog woke up, had a good stretch and wandered

55、at a TimeC. How I Became a Writer D. Good AdviceD Scientists are using a kind of eye-tracking equipment to learn how babies look at the world. In the lab, children 5 months and older crawl (爬行) and walk up, down and over adjustable wooden slopes (斜坡), gaps and steps.It may seem like the set for a ne
56、w reality television show, but there are no prizes, except perhaps for the researchers. They hope to understand what makes one child respond to another, how babies adjust their look to their hands and feet to handle objects, and how these very young children adapt to changes.The findings provided by
57、 these eye-trackers suggest that babies may be more capable of understanding and acting on what they see than had been thought. “Quick looks at their mothers faces may be all they need to get the information they want. They seem to be surprisingly efficient,” said John Franchak who studies psycholog
58、y at New York University.Although sight might largely seem effortless to us, in reality we actively choose what we look at, making about two to four eye movements every second for some 150,000 motions (运动) daily, said Karen Adolph, also a developmental psychologist at N.Y.U. “Sight is not passive,”
59、she said. “We actively adjust our eye movements to the motions of our hands and bodies.”Eye-tracking studies have existed for more than a century, but the instruments involved were typically desk machines. The wearable eye-trackers that Dr. Adolph, Mr. Franchak and their colleagues use are based on
60、equipment developed over the last decade by Positive Science, a New York company, with money from the United States Naval Research Laboratory. They were designed to help scientists. Eye-trackers are currently being used in studies to learn the differences in how amateur and professional geologists (
61、地质学家) scan landscapes and how people examine signs when looking for exits during emergencies.The researchers also found that during the studies babies looked at their mothers just 16 percent of the time. “That is lower than expected.” Dr. Adolph said. A large body of past research has placed importa
62、nce on children watching the faces of adults as they name objects to learn languages. These findings suggest children may not have to look very long to get the information they need, either from people or objects. This gives a new understanding of how much information they need, or how quickly child
63、ren might process the information.67. How do babies get the information they need?A. By using their own language. B. By looking at their mothers eyes.C. By watching their mothers facial expression. D. By listening to others.68. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 5 refers to_A. eye-tracking stud
64、ies B. original devices C. eye-trackers D. desk machines69. What does Dr. Adolph think of the result of the research?A. Exciting. B. Unacceptable. C. Strange. D. Surprising.70. The text is most probably taken from_. A. a website about relationship between mothers and children B. a science magazine a
65、bout childrens actions C. a book about how to teach children D. a newspaper about processing informationE第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（7175涂到答题卡上，选E涂AB，选F涂AC，选G涂AD）I used to be a thin little kid who was always the shortest and sickest in my class.

66、uring my childhood.When I entered middle school, a lot of my friends were signing up for the schools sports teams. 71 On the first day of tryouts（选拔赛）for the soccer team, the coach told us to run laps for warm-up. As I struggled to keep up with the team, I found myself falling farther and farther be
67、hind until I was the last one to finish. 72 I was disappointed, but at the same time, I knew I had to do something about my health and fitness. 73 People thought I was crazy because I ran a slow 11-minute mile in the gym class, but I was determined to get into shape and improve my mile time. 74 It w
68、as a lot of running for me, but I kept on practicing day after day. As the season progressed, I found that I could run longer and faster. Eighth grade soon rolled around and I was feeling really confident about trying out for another sports meet. Instead of attempting soccer a second time, I decided
69、 to give field hockey a try. 75 This time, I was well prepared. After a week of tryouts, I was ecstatic（狂喜的）to see that my name made it on the list. I was inspired, and I learned an important lesson: Once you do get into shape, dont stop or give up! A. Again, the coach instructed us to run a lot of
70、laps. B. After tryouts were over, my name never made it on the list. C. I made a big decision to sign up for the track and field team. D.
