第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
When Carrie Conley’s husband left in the early 1960s, she started raising six children on her own. She took a job at a hospital, delivering meals to patients as what was called “a tray girl” .
Jerry Johnson, the youngest child in the family, was 5 years old when his dad left. Speaking with his mother recently, Johnson heard his mother repeat the question she asked at that time. “Lord, what am I going to do with all these kids by myself?” The answers came in the form of lima beans, black-eyed peas and low prices on chicken necks. “Something to boil for every day of the week,” Conley said.
“I cannot remember one Christmas that I didn’t feel like the luckiest kid in the world,” Johnson said, “even though now I realize we has hardly anything in terms of money.”
“How did you hold all that together?” he asked his mother.
Conley said she would save up her sick days at work, going in no matter how she felt. Then in December, the company would pay her for the unused sick days. More help came in castoffs(废弃物)，when wealthy families would clean out their toy chests at Christmastime and take a load of toys to the Salvation Army. Conley would pick through them, finding the best ones for her children. The result of those sacrifices led to a big, happy Christmas for Conley and her kids.
“But I never did tell you it was a Santa Claus,” Conley said, “I couldn’t give any man credit for what I had done.”
Johnson thanked his mom for her sacrifices, and for the good example she set for him and his siblings. “I think it’s helping us all be better parents,” Johnson said.
56. How did Johnson feel about Christmas when he was a kid?
A. Awful B. Disappointed C. Pleased D. Indifferent
57. How did Conley struggle to send the children Christmas gifts?
A. By begging rich families to help
B. By picking up gifts of low prices
C. By visiting the Salvation Army
D. By helping clean out toy chests
58. The underlined part in Paragraph 6 shows that Conley_______?
A. didn’t believe in God then
B. was proud of what she did
C. was complaining about her bad luck
D. wasn’t willing to ask others for help
59. From the passage we can know that _____.
A. Conley had great influence on her kids
B. Conley was an optimistic but stubborn woman
C. Johnson landed a job in Conley’s company finally
D. Johnson sensed his mother’s despair when he was young
B
Florida deputy Gene Smith thought the calls about a kangaroo wandering on the street were part of a prank. But WTSP reports that the story was true: A five-foot-tall, 200-pound kangaroo was hopping around Pasco County on Sunday.
Then the call came that it was now on US 301. Gene Smith, who noted that the calls were the strangest he’d received during 17 years on the force, said, “Sure enough, there was a kangaroo in the middle of the road. It was a pretty big and extremely strong animal. It wasn’t until I grabbed those legs that I realized just how strong they were. It doesn’t look like that on TV.
In fact, the kangaroo was so strong that police couldn’t catch it. Along with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office Agricultural Unit, they tried a number of approaches to wrangle in the animal without seriously injuring it. But not even tranquilizers(镇定剂) could slow down the creature. Eventually, local resident Kevin Wehling, who WTSP said “had heard rumors about the kangaroo and wanted to see it for himself,” captured the animal.
Kangaroos typically do not attack humans unless they are angered. However, an Australian politician was recently knocked down and scratched facing a kangaroo while out for a morning jog. They can become more aggressive when they find themselves in a strange environment with a team of police officers hunting them down.
Police still have no idea who owns the kangaroo and have now placed it in the care of a vet. Technically, you can own a kangaroo in the Sunshine State if you have the right permits. In theory, wildlife officials should be able to narrow the field and pinpoint where the stray kangaroo came from.
60. What does the underlined word “prank” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Task B. Plan C. Trick D. Show
61. According to what Gene Smith said in Paragraph2, we infer that____.
A. he was skilled at grabbing kangaroo
B. he had seen many kangaroos in the wild before
C. he had always worried that kangaroos would attack people
D. he didn’t expect capturing the kangaroo would be that hard
62. What can we infer from Paragraph4?
A. Kangaroos are the gentlest animals in the world
B. Kangaroos can be dangerous in certain circumstances
C. Kangaroos usually beg for food when they are hungry
D. Kangaroos can adapt to a strange environment quickly
63. Wildlife officials should be able to pinpoint where the stray kangaroo came from because _____.
A. the kangaroo can lead them to its owner
B. they can refer to the kangaroo’s footsteps
C. cameras have recorded the kangaroo’s track
D. they can refer to records of people keeping kangaroos
C
A Scottish woman has given birth to twins for the third time. Karen Rodger, 41, welcomed her first pair of girls rowan and Isla after having twice given birth to twin boys.
“I still haven’t really taken it on board because I was convinced I was having two boys,” Rodger told Sky News. Karen said her husband Colin was equally stunned when the couple learned they were going to have their fifth and sixth child. “He thought I was joking and immediately wrote back to say 'this is not funny'. I had to explain that it really was true,” Karen said.
The average couple has about a 3 percent chance of having twins when not accounting for fertility(多产)drugs. And with each following pregnancy, the changes of producing twins a second, or even third time, become less.
Karen, a dance lecturer, first learned of the incredibly rare occurrence during a visit to her doctor and immediately texted her husband to share the news. “I just could not believe it. It never crossed my mind that it would be twins again. I just thought that wouldn’t happen to people like me, but I’m absolutely delighted,” she said.
64 According to Paragraph2, when the husband heard the news, he was____.
A. upset B. worried C. relieved D. shocked
65. What can we infer form Paragraph3?
A. The average couple would turn to fertility drugs.
B. The average couple gives birth to twins for a reason.
C. The average couple’s chance of having the new twins is rare.
D. The average couple gives birth to twins because they are different.
66. From Karen ‘s reaction to the news given by her doctor, we infer that____.
A. she didn’t know she was pregnant again
B. she was happy to have twins again
C. she didn’t think she was d
