第三节:阅读并选择小标题
阅读下面短文,然后从给出的A、B、C、D、E、F选项中为每个段落选择恰当的小标题。(有一个多余选项)
A. Technical experts with a wide horizon are expected
B. Fail to achieve my ideal aim
C. Broaden my knowledge by communicating with people
D. The difficulties I met when studying in a liberal arts university
E. Put my ideas to practice
F. Plan to become an engineer and humanist
56.
Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality (理性), but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any reasonable student with my aim would have
chosen a college with a large engineering department, many famous professors and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that’s not what I did.
57.
I chose to study engineering at a small liberal arts(文科) university that doesn’t even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide
me with flexibility (灵活) and a value system to guide me in my job. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my horizon by communicating with people who weren’t studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers
and other adults praised me for such a wise choice. They told me I was wise and grown-up beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.
58.
I headed off to the college and was sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “factories” where they didn’t care if you had values or were flexible.
I was going to be a complete engineer: technical expert and excellent humanist (人道主义者) all in one.
59.
Now I’m not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideas crashed into reality, as all noble ideas finally do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses
with liberal arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调) engineering with liberal arts courses in college.
60.
The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don’t mix as easily as I supposed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.
第四节:阅读表达
阅读下面短文,请根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的词数要求)
Children think youngsters who wear glasses look smarter and are more honest than those _____________, according to a U.S. study of 80 children. In addition, the researchers found that
children tend not to judge peers who wear glasses in terms of appearance, potential (潜在性) as a playmate, or likely athletic abilities.
These findings may help comfort children as they’re fitted for their first pair of glasses. If the impression of looking smarter will appeal to (迎合……的兴趣) a child, I would use that information and tell the child it is based on research. Most kids getting glasses for the first time are sensitive about how they’re going to look. Some kids simply r
efuse to wear glasses, because they think they’ll look ugly.
The study included 42 girls and 38 boys, aged 6 to 10. They were shown 24 pairs of pictures of children. Each pair of pictures included one child with glasses and one child without glasses.
The children were asked a series of questions about each pair of photos. About two-thirds said children wearing glasses looked smarter than those without glasses, and 57 percent said children wearing glasses looked more honest.
The children’s answers to other questions about who they’d rather play with, who looked better at sports, and who looked more shy weren’t consistent enough for the researchers to arrive at
any solid conclusions.
What was clear was that the children didn’t consider kids with glasses to be unattractive.
61. What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)
62. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
Most children who wear glasses for the first time are rather concerned about their appearance.
63. Please fill in the blank in the first paragraph with proper words to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.)
64. What does the author mainly want to tell us in Para-graph 2? (Please answer within 10 words.)
65. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
第五节:填空
阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在文后第66至第75小题的空格处填上适当的单词或短语。注意:每空不超过3个单词。
Over years of study, Paco has discovered that people act in predictable ways when they are shopping. Successful shops adapt themselves to these habits.
Men and women shop in different ways. Men like to decide what they want before they shop. Then they go straight out and get it without buying anything else. Seventy-five percent of men who try clothes on buy them straight away. Only thirty-five percent of women do the same. Men also prefer not to talk to the shop assistant.
Women enjoy the shopping experience more. They will shop first and decide what they want later, trying different things out along the way. Women also like to take their time. A shopping trip
may take a man and a woman two or three hours. Paco suggests that shops provide “nurseries” for men, with video games and a TV turned to a sports channel. The women can then shop in
peace while the men play.
According to Paco, these differences can date from “hunter-gather” period of human history. Men were hunters. They focused on stalking (偷偷接近) animals and then killing them. Women gathered wild vegetables and fruits. They needed to be patient, to talk to each other and to cover as much ground as possible.
第六节:简答题
阅读下面短文,根据第76至第78小题的具体要求,简要回答问题。
Weighing too much can damage your health, and obesity is a growing problem for both kids and adults around the world.
Sleep might be one answer to the problem. A new study has found that elementary school students who sleep too little are more likely to gain pounds. Past studies have shown a link between
sleeping less and weighing more, but scientists have had a tough time determining “which came first, the chicken or the egg,” says Julie C. Lumeng of the University of Michigan.
To get a better idea of which causes which, Lumeng and his colleagues interviewed the parents of 785 third graders. The parents answered questions about how well their kids slept that year.
Three years later, the parents answered the same questions.
By sixth grade, 18 percent of kids involved in the study were obese. Over the 3 years of the study, the children averaged a healthy 9.5 hours of sleep a night. Some kids, however, slept a lot more
or less than others. For the sixth graders, every hour of sleep above the 9.5-hour average is linked to a 20 percent lower risk of being overweight. Sleep appears doubly (倍加) important for the third graders. Every extra hour of sleep above the 9.5-hour average is linked to a 40 percent drop in obesity.
76. Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “obese”. ___________________________________________
77. According to the study by Lumeng and his colleagues, who may easily be influenced by less sleep, the third graders or the sixth graders? (回答词数不超过8个)

Just before noon on Sunday, volunteers (志愿者) are getting ready to serve a lunch of fried chicken, corn and peas in Americus, Georgia, USA. Kenyota Peterson stands ready and she has packed with ice and drinks to go with the 246 meals
