第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
第一节: 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
I paid a visit to Cambridge last January. Though the trip took me 5 hours and it rained the whole day with strong winds there, the town deserved a visit.
The bus started at 6:10 a. m. It stopped at 4 airports before we finally arrived，which wasted more time than we expected. Tired with long sitting，one passenger stood up to relax his numbed legs. The driver asked him to sit down but in vain. So he pulled up and said seriously, “Either you get off or sit down.” To him, safety is the first policy.
Cambridge consists of over thirty colleges. The oldest part of the university was built in the 13th century while the newest was founded in the mid 1960s.The number of the students is so great that many students live in lodgings（出租房）and move into college for their final year.
Cambridge is called a university town because there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town；it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has shops，pubs，and supermarkets，but most of it is university-colleges，departments，libraries，clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops，cafes，banks and churches，making these as well part of the university.
With over 10,000 undergraduates and postgraduates, the town is a busy place indeed. Students here are not allowed to keep cars. If you happen to be walking in the street during a break，better stop a moment to avoid the boiling sea of bicycles hurrying in all directions，carrying students from one college or lecture room to another.
56. The writer believed that the trip took more time because of________
A. bad weather B. unexpected stops of the bus
C. one passenger D. an accident on the way
57.Why is Cambridge called a university town？
A. It has 10，000 undergraduates and postgraduates.
B. There are over thirty colleges in the town.
C. All the students and staff live in the town.
D. The university and town are fully combined.
58. It can be inferred that most Cambridge students take _______as their first means of transport.
A. boats B. cars C. bicycles D. buses
B
Grace Kane hangs onto an Olympic dream of clinging to a granite (花岗岩) wall by her fingertips 70 feet from the ground. The fearless girl is only 10, but already has scaled great heights in the sport of rock climbing.
Last week, Kane won a bronze in the 11­and­younger sport class at the USA Climbing Youth National Championships in Atlanta. She was the only competitor of the 31 there with no climbing coach or top­flight facilities in which to train. Climbing will become an exhibition at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics in Brazil. The hope of enthusiasts is that the sport will gain full status in 2020.“I’m already training for that,” said Kane. “Climbing is my passion, my love, and I want to make something of it.”
Her dad took her to climb rocks on her fourth birthday for the first time and today he can’t keep up with her, “It’s the freedom to let loose,” she said. “When I’m up there, I’m so focused and don’t hear anything. I always feel comforted knowing people are supporting me.”
The bronze in Atlanta qualified Kane for the USA team and November’s International Championships in Ecuador. That’s a trip she might have to miss because it’s too expensive.
Kane held a backyard music concert---she played the guitar and the piano and wrote inspirational songs---and raised $600 for her $1,500 trip to Atlanta. She’s also been sponsored by a shoe company, but must rely heavily on donations from family and friends for travel expenses.
Her mom Heather Kane said the family has chosen “to do whatever we need to help her achieve her goals”. One of Grace’s biggest challenges is finding balance in her life. There’s school, her music and church to fit around climbing.
“Climbing is going to mean sacrificing things other kids might pursue,” Grace said. “But it doesn’t bother me. It’s like playing the piano; you can’t take a break or you’ll lose your touch.”
59. What would be the best title of the passage?
A. Rock climbing gains popularity
B. Grace Kane likes challenges
C.A young climber follows her dream
D. An amazing victory for a young rock climber
60.We can learn from the second paragraph that rock climbing ________.
A. is not an exhibition at the Olympics now
B. is an official event at the Olympics now
C. is not open to children
D. will gain full status in 2020
61.Which of the following is TRUE about Grace Kane?
A. She is only interested in rock climbing.
B. She is a girl with many talents.
C. Rock climbing has affected her study.
D. She has won gold medals in several matches.
62.One of Grace’s biggest challenges is to ________.
A. find a capable coach for her
B. get qualified for the USA team
C. raise enough money for International competitions
D. keep balance between rock climbing and other activities
C
When I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh. Whenever I was “bad”, you'd shake your finger at me and ask, “How could you?”--but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.
My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in
