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，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

Margeaux Wolberg was sitting with the other 12-year-olds in her class when one of the girls turned to her and asked, “Is your mom dead?”

She never came to school like the other mothers to volunteer in the library or help the teachers. It was always Margeaux’s dad who did that.

Margeaux reached for her laptop, typed a few words into Google and showed her classmate a list of hits with her mother’s name and job titles, from chief information officer at Salesforce.com to her current role as vice-president of technology business operations at PayPal. “See, my mom’s not dead,” she said. “My mom’s famo us.”

Kirsten Wolberg, 45, tells this story with pride. She doesn’t fall into the guilt trap these days when she has to miss a school play. Instead she is content that her two daughters are growing up with such a strong role model: a woman in a high-powered job in Silicon Valley.

Long before either of her kids was bom , Wolberg and her future husband Michael had a conversation about how they would divide household and childcare duties. “I said, ‘Listen ，one of the things that’s really important to me is to have a parent at home full time，，” she remembers. “ 4And it can’t be me.，”

Michael Wolberg, 43，worked for years for a pharmaceutical distributor. But when Margeaux was bom, he quit — or retired, as he likes to say — to become a stay-at-home dad. And he hasn’t looked back. The relative quiet of spending 12 hours a day alone with a child suits his personality better than an office, he says, and much better than it would ever suit his wife.

“She’s spent many, many years trying to get to the place where she is and even further，” he says, “and this lifestyle of crawling around on the floor and changing diapers(尿片）and all kinds of other things is not for her.”

56.From the first three paragraphs we know that Margeaux ______.

A. felt hurt by her classmates B. was proud of her mother

C. felt disappointed with her mother D. was looked down upon in the school

57.According to the passage, Kirsten ______. 

A. finds it hard to seek her kids’ understanding

B. is glad to have set a good example to her kids

C. is as successful in her career as her husband

D. feels sorry for not helping in her girl’s school

58. Why did Michael choose to be a stay-at-home dad?

A. He was tired of his job。

B. He is more suitable by nature to stay at home.

C. He was forced to quit the job.

D. He and his wife reached an agree ment after the kids’birth.

59.From the passage we can infer that ______.

A. Michael regrets making the decision

B. Kirsten is neither a good wife nor a qualified mother

C. Michael does not understand his wife very much

D. Kirsten is likely to achieve greater success in her career

B

Thanks to the interwebs , we can click and click and have a good laugh! We’ll have everything you need to howl like a monkey and bark like a seal. So, click on, intemauts, and be ready!

1. Cracked.com

Cracked.com traces its origins to the print magazine Cracked, which started in 1958. But Cracked has soon grown to become the most popular comedy site on the Internet, drawing over a billion views in 2010. The website also runs in a wide range, featuring photo editing contests, sketches and films, and reader contests. For laughs, Cracked.com is your one-stop shop!

2. Funny or Die

Any website owned by Will Ferrell would already be in the running - but the debut video, The Landlord, made Funny or Die a must-click website. Funny or Die also manages to remain fresh and interesting by being so interactive, allow viewers to choose which

videos stay and which ones die. The website has even made the big time, partnering with HBO (Home Box Office) in a hopefully plentiful combination of the minds between the best that TV and the Internet both  have to offer.

3. CollegeHumor

We have trouble sitting down for a 90 seconds, much less 90 minutes! CollegeHumor seems incredibly skillful at catering to(迎 合)such an ADD-riddled audience. Like Funny or Die, CollegeHumor made it to the big time, though the CollegeHumor Show only ran for a single season on MTV. The site also serves as the big sales store for T-shirts, which answers the question, “Where can I find a Honey Badger T-shirt?” 

4. 9GAG

You know those black and white photos you’ve been seeing all over your Facebook f eed? Well, if you ever wondered where they came from, then you need look no further than 9GAG! And if you’re looking to do some terribly light reading with the click of a finger, then 9GAG is your best bet. Relatively new to the game, 9GAG’s viewer contributions and interactions look to make it an internet player for sometime to come.

There you have it, top 4 comedy websites. Every last one is worth a few laughters and a good many clicks.

60.What causes the website Funny or Die to enjoy greater success?

A. Being interactive with viewers. B. Producing the video “The Landlord”.

C. Close partnership with HBO. D. Will Ferrell’s good management.

A. are skilled at producing humor

C. take a great interest in funny MTV

D. have trouble staying focused for a certain time

62.If you are creative with black-and-white photo effects, you may go for ______.

63.Which statement is true of the four websites?

A. Viewer participations make Funny or Die and 9GAG appealing.

C. Cracked.com became the most visited humor websites in 1958.

D. CollegeHumor only collects a program of 90 seconds.

C

The mysterious stone figures known as inuksuit can be found throughout the circumpok (极地附近）world. Inukshuk, the singular of inuksuit, means “in the likeness of a human”  the Inuit language. They are monuments made of unworked stones that are used by the Inuit  communication and survival. The traditional meaning of the inukshuk is “Someone was here” c “You are on the right path.”

The Inuit make inuksuit in different forms for a variety of purposes: as navigation  directional aids, to mark a place of respect or memorial for a beloved person, or to indication migration routes or places where fish can be found. Other similar stone structures were object of respect, standing for places of power or the home of spirits. Although most inuksuit appear singly, sometimes they are arranged in orders covering great distances or are grouped to mark specific place.

These sculptural forms are among the oldest and most important objects placed by human upon the vast Arctic landscape and have become a familiar symbol of the Inuit and of the homeland. Inuit tradition forbids destroying inuksuit. An inukshuk is often honored a symbolizing an ancestor who knew how to survive on the land in the traditional way. A familial inukshuk is a welcome sight to a traveler on a featureless and scary landscape.

An inukshuk can be small or large, a single rock, several rocks balanced on each other: Built from whatever stones are at hand, each one is unique. The arrangement of stones indicate the  purpose of the marker. The directions of arms or legs could indicate the direction of an open channel for navigation, or a valley for passage through the mountains. An inukshuk without arms, or with antlers (鹿角）attached to it, would act as a marker for  a storage of food.

64.The construction of Inuksuit is probably linked to ______.

A. the old tradition existing in the Arctic areas

B. the openness of Arctic space and its severe condition

C. the development of rock art through generations

D. the unique need of marking a place of respect for a dead traveler

65.If an inukshuk is worn out or out of shape, the Inuit ______.

A. may break it down and rebuild a new one

B. arrange each rock of it in an orderly round circle

C. may try every means to stop it falling apart

D. still leave it as it is and regard it as worthy of great honor

66.Which of the following inuksuit would most likely mark the location of a food place?

 

67.The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to ______ 

A. inform readers B. entertain readers

C. guide travelers in the Arctic D. urge people to preserve inuksuit

D

It is the responsibility of parents to teach their children to be polite and tolerant. Teachers should never become, however, ethical(道德）bystanders. If we wish to educate our students as well as encourage them to accept the inborn worth of every human being, we must not surrender the concept of building a moral community in our school, where all people have an responsibility to be polite and tolerant.

Some individuals believe that teachers should not interfere(干涉）with the behavior of students unless it is directly related to learning or affects the safety of individuals on campus. Not long ago I scolded a student for using an extremely offensive language in addressing another student. When I described the incident to the student’s parent, I was told by the parent that the student’s choice of words did not hurt anyone. The parent was convinced that I should be busy doing more important things rather than finding fault with a student’s vocabulary.

The parent’s response disappointed me. I recognize that there is wide concern among parents that their rights to raise their children and to teach them proper values are sometimes interfered with by people outside the family. I understand this concern. It is neither educators ，responsibility nor their right, for example, to promote among students political or religious beliefs. But good teachers do teach values 一 not personal values but common values of good manners, responsibility, and self-reliance. Ideally, qualified educators keep up socially- responsible values taught at home. They should demand appropriate vocabulary and good maimers. It is very much the responsibility of teachers to promote the traditions of proper behavior.

As a principal, I expect to be judged by the moral and ethical  climate of our school. In spite of all the academic improvements, I would never consider myself a successful educator unless our students graduated not only as successful learners but also as ladies and gentlemen.

68.The underlined word “surrender” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “______”

A. give up B. stick to C. search for D. put forward

69.The case in Paragraph 2 is intended to show that ______.

A. it was wrong to scold the student

B. some people have a narrow view of school education

C. teaching vocabulary was not important

D. parents attached much importance to kids ‘moral education

70.The writer holds the view that ______.

A. educators should teach personal values

B. all values should be taught in school rather than at home

C. school education should involve political and religious beliefs

D. moral development is as important as academic improvements

71. What would be the best title?

A. The Importance of Teaching Values B. A Teacher’s Working Experience

C. An Educator’s Moral Responsibility D. The Situation of Moral Education

E

As the thrills of the London 2012 Olympic Games fade, the focus now is on the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil. Over the next two years it will also host the FIFA Confederation Cup in June 2013 and the FIFA World Cup in 2014. Brazil has taken steps to increase the economic profits by safeguarding the interests of broadcasters and funders.

In 2009, the Brazil passed the Brazilian Olympic Act and the so-called World Cup Law in 2012, which are designed to fight ambush(隐性）marketing and digital piracy(盗版)，and regulate advertising in and around official sporting sites.

The Brazilian World Cup Law goes much further in protecting the interests of right owners than Brazil’s pre-existing legislation(立法）in this area, the so-called Pele Law. For example, the World Cup Law bans anyone but the official broadcaster from using images of events. However, it does permit use for non-commercial purposes. It also requires that FIFA or its local broadcaster provide highlights up to two hours after each match. Other items allow protection of trademarks associated with the event and ban unauthorized association with the event’s marks.

The Pele Law permits, as an information right, both access to sporting sites and the use of images(影像）for journalistic purposes. It is, however, unlikely that such an understanding will be gained in relation to the World Cup Law which governs access to and use of images sp ecifically in relation to the FIFA World Cup 2014. Although the Brazilian Olympic Act regulates the IP(知识产权）relating to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, it remains silent on broadcasting rights.

Whatever the benefits, it seems clear that IP rights in general, and broadcasting rights in particular, will continue to play a key role in bringing in funds. If past experience is anything to go by, Rio 2016 not only promises new sporting achievements, but also the breaking of new records in terms of profits produced from the sale of broadcasting and other media rights.

72 .The 2016 Olympics ______

A. promises to break many records B. will experience challenges in funding

C. promises to be the greatest in history D. will bring great benefits to Brazil

73.The World Cup Law and the Pele Law are different in that ______.

A. the former is stricter than the latter in protecting IP rights

B. the World Cup Law allows the media more freedom to use the images

C. the former applies to advertising while the latter marketing

D. the Pele Law bans more unauthorized association with the event’s marks

74.The writer introduces the World Cup Law ______. 

A. by comparison B. in order of importance

C. by survey D. in order of time

75.The passage mainly talks about  ______.

A. the advances that Brazil has made in hosting sporting events

B. the efforts that Brazil is making to protect the interests of IP right owners

C. the preparations that Brazil is making for the 2016 Olympics

D. the challenges that Brazil is facing in investment to fund the sporting events
