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，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将选项涂黑。
A
Some people love eating food right after it is cooked. I prefer food just taken out from the freezer. Fruit, candy, nuts, chocolate, cake with butter cream frosting(糖霜), even peas, all of them taste delicious when frozen. In fact, I often eat them that way.
I was a kid when I picked up the habit. In my family, lots of things were thrown into the freezer – finally, two freezers – to prevent them form going bad. Among them were some of the candies my sisters and I had collected on Halloween.
If we eat when they are still warm, we’ll find ourselves taking the cookies more than we should. It’s better if we can put them into the freezer and wait. That way we’ll eat less and enjoy them more because they are hard and chewing becomes a slower, more patient effort. That’s the point about frozen butter cream frosting. Put it in your mouth at room temperature, and it’s gone very quickly. But when it’s frozen , you can enjoy the taste much longer as it melts(融化) in your mouth.
The freezer treats a lot of fruit kindly. Take frozen grapes for example. I keep a bowl of grapes in my freezer. They become a little icy, and somehow their sweetness is improved. They are perfect and healthy dessert. This is the same with oranges, apples, bananas…You might think bananas would get super-hard when frozen. Wrong! They become cool, creamy and sweet. If you have wisely covered some or all of the bananas with melted chocolate before putting them into the freezer, they will have a double taste.
As long as you aren’t eating anything that truly has to be hot, go ahead and experiment.
56. What is the passage intended to tell us?
A. Fruit should be frozen before one eats it. B. Frozen food is better than hot food.
C. The author prefers frozen food. D. Hot food is not healthy.
57. The author began to enjoy frozen food when he ____.
A. was young B. learned cooking C. got married D. got a freezer
58. Why does the author NOT advise us to take hot cookies?
A. Because they need more time to prepare.
B. Because the taste is not good when they are hot.
C. Because they are too delicious to avoid our overeating.
D. Because we may eat them quickly and enjoy them less.
59. What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?
A. The taste B. Butter cream C. The cookie D. Frozen butter cream frosting
60. Which of the following is the advice the author gives on eating fruit?
A. Make bananas hard B. Keep grapes in a bowl.
C. Mix kinds of fruits together D. Add melted chocolate to bananas

B
Handbags are one of the signature statement for every fashion conscious woman. Lauren Bush and Ellen Gustafson have managed to turn this accessory(装饰品) into a necessity in the struggle to feed the world’s hungry children, one handbag at a time. “there’s no other choice,” Gustafson said. “We have to help them get into school. That’s the only choice we have.”
The pair met four years ago through their work with the United Nations. What they saw inspired the launch of their collection FEED.
Their first bag, a $60 re-usable shopping one, provides a school meal for a child anywhere in the world for a year. “World hunger seems so far away and so overwhelming(势不可挡) for most people,” Bush said. “So to know exactly what you’re doing is great.”
FEED now has a dozen styles in some of New York’s most popular stores. Prices range from $ 15 to $195. The cost varies because each bag provides help in a different way and says so right on the back.
When the earthquake hit Haiti, FEED designed the “FEED Haiti 50” bag. It provided 50 school lunches for children there. “That meal that a child gets in school is almost certainly the only proper meal that they get every day,” said Marcus Prior, UN spokesperson in Haiti.
Every year hunger and malnutrition(营养不良) kill more people in developing nations than AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. That’s 3 million children who never make it to their fifth birthday. 300 million other children go to bed hungry every night.
Since 2007, FEED has donated $5.5 million to the UN World Food Program. “Hunger is a very terrible feeling; it’s a very terrible way to die,” Gustafson said. “To know that just through selling a product that they’re getting the most important need for human life – food to thrive – it is very powerful.”
61. The underlined word “they” in Para. 2 refers to .
A. Lauren Bush and Ellen Gustafson B. the world’s hungry children
C. fashion conscious women D. the United Nations
62. What’s the purpose of the launch of FEED?
A. To recycle the waste handbags. B. To help the hungry children.
C. To promote the sales of handbags. D. To make all the children receive a good education.
63. Which of the following is TRUE about the FEED handbag?
A. It has only one style. B. Its price stays the same.
C. It is popular with lots of women. D. The help it offers is marked on the back.
64. From what Gustafson said in the last paragraph, we can infer that .
A. she was afraid of dying from hunger B. she was proud of what they did
C. she had ever suffered hunger D. she called on people to help the hungry
65. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Disasters that threaten humans B. Handbags that attract the rich
C. Fashion that feeds the hungry D. Women who save the world

C
Bridgwater Carnival will be held on a Saturday, instead of Friday, as part of a three year trial from 2012.
It is hoped that the decision made by the carnival committee will protect its future and increase donations(募捐), which have been falling, to local charities. The revised dates are set for Saturday, 3 November 2012, Saturday, 2 November 2013 and Saturday 1 November 2014.Other carnivals in Somerset, like North Petherton, which are held on a Saturday, won’t be affected by the date change.
Bridgwater Carnival is the oldest and longest running carnival in Somerset and is part of the Somerset County Guy Fawkes Carnival Association circuit. Other carnivals are North Petherton, Burnham, Glastonbury, Shepton Mallet, Wells and Weston.
It is not the first time that the carnival has changed dates — up until 2001 Bridgwater Carnival took place on a Thursday, but nine years ago organisers took the controversial(有争议的) decision to change the night from a Thursday to the Friday closest to Guy Fawkes night.
Dave Stokes, from Bridgwater Carnival, said, “We don’t want to conflict with other carnivals. Crowds at Bridgwater Carnival have remained pretty steady(稳定的) but the actual amount of money that we have been collecting has gone down which is a concern and fundraising is getting more difficult. We’re hoping that by changing this to a Saturday for this trial period, we can change that situation.”
In 2014, a final decision will be made. It remains to be seen whether changing the carnival from a Friday to a Saturday will improve donations.
66. Bridgwater Carnival’s date will be changed with the aim of 　　　. 
A. getting more money B. attracting mo
