I’m someone who never went to university but always thought about it. The only way I 36 was listening to my children talk about their class and all the interesting things they were 37 . University was just a life-long 38 of mine. I just turned sixty-four years old in September. I still thought about that old dream 39 one day when there was an Advanced-Age 40 at the local university. I decided to 41 .
The day finally arrived－my first day of school. As I 42 there, my mind was filled with 43
thoughts, “What am I doing? I’m not smart enough to go to university. The 44 will laugh when they see me in class. I probably won’t live long enough to get a 45 . Maybe I should just turn the car around and go home.”
Then, 46 , I saw it! A large billboard on the side of the road with a picture of Kermit the Frog. I 47 a little and read the words next to his picture. “ Live your dreams. ” Was Kermit speaking me? I didn’t turn the car around.
I drove a little 48 on up the highway and there was another 49 . This one had a picture of Albert Einstein with his tongue 50 out. A line read, “As a student, he was no Einstein. ” And there was a word in red, “ Confidence”. A new attitude was 51 inside me.
I was now 52 the gate of the university and there 53 still another billboard. This one showed a photograph of a proud 54 in a cap and gown. Under the picture was her 55 , Nola Ochs, aged 95. Oldest University Graduate. Below it was the words, “ Live Life ”. At that moment, my outlook changed completely.

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。
A
For some time past, it has been widely accepted that babies－and other creatures－learn to do things because certain acts lead to “ rewards ”, and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early time, had to be directly connected to such basic physiological（生理的）“drives” as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.
It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no rewards except success in sight.
Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward” the babies and to teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the children’s responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “turned on” some lights－and indeed that they were able to learn quite complex turns to bring about this result, for example, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.
Papousek’s light experiment was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the light closely although they would “smile and bubble” when the light was on. Papousek concluded that it was not the sight of the lights which pleased them; it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a basic human desire to make sense of the world and bring it under intended control.
56. The author uses the widely accepted concept to start with the passage in order to _______ .
A. arouse the readers’ interest
B. make readers understand the new discovery smoothly
C. serve as a base to start his new discovery
D. encourage readers to raise questions
57. Which of the following is NOT the key factor in Papousek’s study?
A. The research method from milk to light.
B. The different responses of the babies.
C. The discovery of the result is not the reward.
D. The place or situations where the display is conducted.
58. The reason for the babies smiling and bubbling in Paragraph 4 is probably that _______.
A. the can watch the lights closely and curiously
B. they are offered milk as “reward”
C. they succeed in “turning on” the lights
D. the lights serve as basic “drives”
59. The pleasure the babies showed is a reflection of _______.
A. basic physiological “drives”
B. a basic human desire to understand and control the world
C. some sort of physical comfort
D. a basic desire to show their learned skills
B
Bright red post boxes, the Queen and queuing－What do they all have in common? They are all part of British life. Or so I thought.
However, the ability to queue for long periods of time, once believed to be a traditional character of the British, is no longer tolerated by people in the UK, according to a survey done for British bank Barclays.
Once upon a time, queuing was seen as normal. During the Second World War, everyone had to queue up to receive their daily ration（配给）of foods. In fact, if you didn’t stand up and wait in line with all the others, it was seen as impolite.
The famous English double－deck buses, with only one entrance, might also help explain why queuing was seen as a part of life. Almost always, there is queue to get on. But perhaps the British are tired of being pushed past by the Spanish, the Italians or the French as they queue up to get a table at a restaurant. The people of these other European countries have more than one entrance to their buses, which could explain their more relaxed attitude to the queue.
Two minutes is now the longest time most British are prepared to stand and wait. But could it be that the Internet, which allows us to carry out tasks quickly, is the main reason why British people are no longer prepared to queue?
“Used to buying without delay, customers are even abandoning purchases rather than wait their turn,” says Stuart Neat of Barclaycard. “Shoppers are also less likely to queue for long if the item they are buying is of low value.”
Perhaps I will have to replace “queuing” with “impatience” in my list of things I associate with the British.
60. What can we learn about the tradition of queuing in Britain from the article?
A. It was considered as a symbol of polite behavior among the British.
B. It is what makes British different from other European countries.
C. It was a product of the slow pace of life in old times.
D. It is a long time tradition as old as the queen.
61. According to the passage, the British gradually stopped queuing because _______.
A. they prefer shopping online to going to the shops
B. they follow the example of foreigners in Britain
C. the use of the Internet has changed their way of life
D. British buses now have more than one entrance
62. The purpose of the passage is to _______.
A. list some things that are associated with the British
B. introduce the change in the British way of life
C. express writer’s approval of changes in the British way of life
D. complain about the British losing patience
63. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Queuing Is a Part of Life Now. B. The British Queue up at a Restaurant.
C. UK Won’t Wait Now. D. The British Have No Patience Now.
C

Birds use their right eye to see the Earth’s magnetic field（磁场）and use it to navigate（导航）, scientists have discovered.
German researchers found that if a bird’s right eye was covered, it could not navigate effectively, while it could navigate perfectly well if the left eye was covered instead.
It has long been known that birds are able to sense magnetic fields and use them to navigate, particularly when migrating south for the winter. Now researchers have found that the bird actually sees the magnetic fields with their right eye giving information to the left side of their brain.
The magnetic images create light or dark shadings over what the bird usually sees with its normal vision. The shadings change as the bird turns its head, giving it a visual compass from the patterns of shading.
Scientists believe that the birds have molecules in their retina（视网膜）which shift into an active state when struck by blue light and that activity is picked up by the retina. To test the theories, scientists fitted robins（知更鸟）with goggles that were covered with clear foil（箔片）on
