第三部分：阅读理解（每小题2分，共15小题，满分30分）
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A, B, C, D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
“When an American asks me this question, it’s like a wall of ice crashing down between us.” my Moscow-born friend Galina said. The question is “How are you?”.
The answer Americans give, of course is, “Fine.” But when Russians hear this they think one of two things: you are experiencing a rare moment of fineness or you are lying.
Ask a Russian, “How are you?” and you will hear, for better or worse, the truth. I have experienced many painful minutes of silence after my grandmother made her stock response: “Terrible,” to which she might add, “Why? Because being old is terrible and I am very old.”
“‘Fine’ makes Russians think that Americans have no soul,” I explained recently to an American-born friend. “That they just want to go home, eat a frozen dinner in front of the TV, and wait out the hours before going to work to make money again.” He laughed, “You know, there’s something to that.”
The thing most Russians don’t realize is that, in English, “How are you?” isn’t a question at all, but a form of “hi”, like the Russian “privyet!”
Psychologists at the University of Michigan have shown that, while Russians are, indeed, easier to be depressed than Americans, their open acceptance of bad experiences might be healthier.
Recently, when I looked through a few American guides on traveling to Russia, I was disappointed to find that they all suggested that tourists adopt the American approach to “How are you”.
56. When you ask a Russian “how are you” the Russian will ________.
A. answer “fine” B. tell you the truth
C. make no answer D. get angry and walk away
57. If an American answers “fine” to the question “how are you”, the Russian will think ______.
A. he is not honest B. he will go home
C. he likes watching TV D. he is living a bad life
58. We can infer Russians’ answer to “how are you” can make Americans feel ________.
A. happy B. angry C. puzzled D. touched
B
Nearly 6 million high school students play team sports, and another 20 million children take part in recreational(娱乐的)or competitive sports out of school. Sports activities help children and teenagers stay fit, learn about teamwork, and develop self-confidence. But playing a sport also brings the risk of injury. Each year, over 775,000 children under age 15 are treated in hospitals for sports-related injuries, about 80 percent of which are from playing football, basketball or baseball.
Most of injuries are mild, but they can cause great inconveniences for both children and their parents. And if not treated properly, such an injury can become a more serious one and causes life-long problems.
Tips for prevention
◆Before your child starts a training program or enters a competition, take him or her to the doctor for a physical exam.
◆Make sure your child wears all the required safety gear(装备) every time he or she plays and practices. Know how the sports equipment should fit your child and how to use it. If you’re not sure, ask the coach or a sporting expert for help.
◆Insist that your child warm up before playing, paying special attention to the muscles that will get the most use during play.
◆Teach your child not to play through pain. If your child gets injured, see your doctor. Follow all the doctor’s orders for recovery, and get the doctor’s OK before your child returns to play.
◆Make sure first aid(援助)is available at all games and practices.
◆Talk to and watch your child’s coach. Coaches should tell all the rules of the game, encourage safe play, and understand the special injury risks that young players face.
◆Above all, keep sports fun. Putting too much attention on winning can make your child push too hard and risk injury.
59. It can be inferred from the passage that_______.
A. only children are good at sports and games
B. teenagers are easier to get hurt while playing ball games
C. sports activities help teenagers develop self-confidence
D. the coach should be responsible for children’s sports-related injuries
60. The underlined word “mild” probably means_______.
A. serious B. terrible C. common D. not serious
61. Which of the following is NOT the author’s tip?
A. Your child had better have a physical exam before having sports.
B. Ask your child to warm up before playing.
C. Your child needn’t wear all the required safety gear whenever practising.
D. Your child should stop playing when he/she gets injured.
62. What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A. Teenagers’ sports safety. B. How to keep strong and fit.
C. Parents’ worries. D. Fun or competition.
C
Every day it seems that people are coming up with new and innovative ways to use mobile devices like cellphones and smart phones. Researchers at Princeton University are looking for new ways to measure a person’s sense of wellbeing with mobile devices.
To gain a better understanding of how cellphones and other mobile devices can measure our sense of happiness, the research team conducted a study that was published recently in the journal Demography. To gather data for their study, the team created an application for mobile devices using the Android operating system.
Once the app was developed, the res
