三、阅读理解（共两节，满分32分）
第一节（共12小题，每小题2分，共24分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

Everyone has got two personalities (性格) ─ the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don't like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don't often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.
36. You may find the passage in _______.
A.A sports newspaper
B. A guide book
C.A science magazine
D. A story book
37. When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality?
A. In the daytime.
B. During the deep sleep.
C. At night.
D. At the beginning of sleep.
38. If Tina is shy and likes to stay alone. She probably goes to sleep _______.
A. on her side
B. on her stomach
C. on her back
D. on curled up
39. What does the passage tell us?
A. Sleeping on your side is the best way of sleeping.
B. Sleeping positions show people's secret personalities.
C. Changing positions will cause sleeping problems.
D. Enough sleep makes people look better and healthier.

B

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while ─ then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time.
This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily activities. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
40. The writer of this passage must be_______.
A. an American B. a professor
C. a Chinese D. a student
41. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
B. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.
42. From the underlined sentence, we can know the Chinese people_
A. are strict in time
B. don’t take time seriously
C. are willing to spend time with friends
D. don’t know how to use time
43. A suitable title for this passage would probably be "______".
A. Friendships between Chinese
B. Friendships between Americans
C. Americans' and Chinese's opinions of friendships
D. Americans' hospitality

C

A new generation addiction(上瘾) is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use email and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive(强迫性的) habit. They can’t stop, and it affects their lives.
Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. Such behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.
They become crazy about computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don't focus on homework, so this addiction affects their grades and success at school. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Besides, this addiction to websites affects their social life.
They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.
Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate(隔离) themselves from the society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect the entire world.
44. According to the passage, the underlined word “weboholism” in paragraph1 means________.
A. sickness B. loneness
C. loss D. addiction to computer
45. The main idea of the passage is about ______.
A. the cause of weboholism
B. the advantage of weboholism
C. the effect of weboholism
D. the popularity of weboholism
46. Which of the following is NOT true of weboholism?
A. It contributes to the development of the web.
B. The chat room language may change social culture.
C. The problem will be getting more and more serious later.
D. People addicted to the web often become inactive in real life.
47. The author's attitude towards weboholism is ______.
A. optimistic (乐观的)
B. neutral（中立的）
C. critical（批评的）
D. acceptable（可接受的）

第二节（共4小题，每小题2分，共8分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余选项。
A strong memory depends on the health and vitality （活力） of your brain. They say that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn’t true. 48.
Give your brain a workout. Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be able to process and remember information. You have to shake things up from time to time.
Don’t skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesn’t mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. It increases oxygen(氧) to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.
Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best. 49.
Keep stress in check. Stress is one of the brain’s worst enemies. Over time, stress destroys brain cells. Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.
Have a laugh. 50. That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages many regions across the whole brain.
51. Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. For brain health, though, it’s not just what you eat—it’s also what you don’t eat.
A. Eat a brain-boosting diet.
B. Play games with memory.
C. But oversleeping is not good for your brain.
D. Laughter is the best medicine
E. Even skipping a few hours makes a difference!
F. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change.
