第三部分：阅读理解（共25小题：每小题2分，满分50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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
My dad loved pennies, especially those with the elegant stalk of wheat curving around each side of the ONE CENT on the back. Those were the pennies he grew up with during the Depression (大萧条).
As a kid, I would go for walks with Dad, spying coins along the way—a penny here, a dime (一角硬币) there. Whenever I picked up a penny, he’d ask, "Is it a wheat?" It always thrilled him when we found one of those special coins produced between 1909 and 1958, the year of my birth.
One gray Sunday morning in winter, not long after my father’s death in 2002, I was walking down Fifth Avenue, feeling bereft. I found myself in front of the church where Dad once worked. I was warmly shown in and led to a seat. Hearing Dad’s favorite "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God", I burst into tears. We’d sung that at his funeral. After the service, I shook the pastor’s hand and stepped onto the sidewalk—and there was a penny. I bent to pick it up, turned it over, and sure enough, it was a wheat. A 1944, a year my father was serving on a ship in the South Pacific.
That started it. Suddenly wheat pennies began turning up on the sidewalks of New York everywhere. I got most of the important years: his birth year, my mom’s birth year, the year he graduated from college, the year he met my mom, the year they got married, the year my sister was born. But alas, no 1958 wheat penny—my year, the last year they were made.
The next Sunday, after the service, I was walking up Fifth Avenue and spotted a penny in the middle of a crossing. Oh, no, it was a busy street；cabs were speeding by—should I risk it? I just had to get it.
A wheat! But the penny was worn, and I couldn’t read the date. On arriving home, I took out my glasses and took it to the light. There was my birthday!
I found 21 wheat pennies on the streets of Manhattan in the year after my father died, and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

Would the world be more peaceful if women were in charge? A challenging new book by the Harvard University psychologist Steven Pinker says that the answer is “yes”.
In The Better Angels of Our Nature, Pinker presents data showing that human violence, while still very much with us today, has been gradually declining. Moreover, he says, “over the long sweep of history, women have been and will be a peaceful force. Traditional war is a man’s game: tribal women never band together to attack neighboring villages.” As mothers, women tend to maintain peaceful conditions in which to bring up their children.
Skeptics(怀疑者)immediately reply that women have not made war simply because they have rarely been in power. If they were empowered as leaders, the disorder of the world would force them to make the same warlike decisions that men do. Margaret Thatcher,Golda Meir, and Indira Gandhi were powerful women; all of them led their countries to war.
But it is also true that these women rose to leadership by playing according to the political rules of “a man’s world.” It was their success consistent with male values that enabled their rise to leadership in the first place. In a world in which women were in the majority of leadership positions, they might behave differently in power.
So we are left with the broader question: does gender(性别)really matter in leadership? In terms of traditional opinion, various psychological studies show that men tend towards the hard power of command, while women are cooperative and naturally understand the soft power of attraction and persuasion.
The key choices about war and peace in our future will depend not on gender, but on how leaders combine hard and soft power skills to produce smart policies. Both men and women will make those decisions.
46.Which of the following does Pinker agree?
A.Human violence has been increasing.
B.Men play a vital role in traditional war.
C.Women have not made war due to their powerlessness.
D.Women prefer to take care of their babies at home.
47.The author mentions Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir, and Indira Gandhi to say .
A.they were all women B.they also acted as leaders
C.they were all heroes D.they also made war
48.How did these women rise to leadership?
A.By entering a famous university. B.By following values similar to men’s.
C.By showing their good character. D.By playing political games.
49.In terms of traditional opinion, .
A.men prefer cooperation B.men are wiser than women
C.women know well about soft power D.women are excellent leaders.
50.What does the writer intend to tell us?
A.War and peace depend on wise policies made by men or women.
B.We had better choose women as our leaders if we want peace.
C.Women are more likely to make smart policies than men.
D.Me tend to lead their countries to war.
C
What is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology,engineering, medicine of any other science?
We all know that science plays an important role in our societies. However, many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first aspect is the application of the machines, products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop. The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.
What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is curious — he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation, and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.
He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and uses the facts he observes to the fullest. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in spectrum(光谱).
He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available. He rejects authority as the only basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively.
Furthermore, He does not readily accept his own idea, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.
Lastly, he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if the wants to guess how processes work and how events take place.
51.Many people believe that science helps society to progress through
A.knowledge only. B.more than one aspect.
B.technology only. D.the use of machines.
52.Which of the following statements about a curious scientist is TRUE?
A.He doesn’t find confidence and pleasure in work.
B.He is interested in problems that are explained.
C.He makes efforts to investigate potential connections.
D.He looks for new ways of acting.
53.According to the passage, a successful scientist would NOT .
A.easily believe in unchecked statements. B.easily criticize others’ research work.
C.always use his imagination in work. D.always use evidence from observation.
54.Which word c
