第三部分：阅读理解（共40分，每小题2分）
A
Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others, as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted (扭曲)one.
Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people form ourselves are not very different at all!
Differences between peoples do, of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity（快速）and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed（展示）to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.
56、Every county criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are ?
A、distorted B、normal C、similar to each other D、different from its own
57、One who travels in a foreign country and learns its language will .
A、find out what its people are like B、argue in favor of this country and the language
C、know the country and its people better D、like its inhabitants and their language
58、The knowledge one gains by traveling in a foreign country is often .
A、from second-hand information B、gathered from other sources than(from) its inhabitants.
C、gained from the arguments about the country D、different form what one had before the travel
59、In this passage, the author wants to say .
A、differences between people will gradually disappear because of the ease of travel
B、differences between people do exist even though different nationalities behave exactly alike
C、differences between people will always continue to exist and the world will be a dull place
D、differences between people will not exist as one hopes
B
Could you eat like this?
IT'S a new food trend, but if you want to give it a try, you will have to write a new shopping list. Meat, chicken, fish? Out. Milk, cheese, eggs, dairy（奶制品）of any kind? Gone.
Instead, you'll be stocking up on fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, nuts and soy products, all key to a vegan（素食）diet.
"As recently as five years ago, a vegan diet was considered radical（极端的）," said Mary Lawrence, owner of Well On Wheels, a personal-chef service in the US. "Now, with the new emphasis（强调）on healthy lifestyles, people are more interested."
But forget the things you've heard about this type of cooking being tasteless. Vegan gourmet（美食）is in. Vegan cookbooks, full of delightful pictures, are sprouting（发芽）like wheatgrass.
With so many celebrities, including actress Gwyneth Paltrow, singer Leona Lewis, and Twilight star Kristen Stewart, claming to be vegetarians, the planet-based cuisines（菜肴）are the latest highprofile food.
Donald Watson might be surprised by all the attention. It was the Englishman Watson who coined（创造）the term"vegan"in 1944. It means someone who eats no animal products at all, unlike a vegetarian, who will eat eggs and animal milk and so on. Shortly afterward, the quiet Watson founded the Vegan Society, a group of about 25 like-minded individuals.
These days, about a million Americans call themselves vegans. While modern vegans share the same philosophy（观念）as Watson, their diet and message have become more mainstream（主流）.
According to Publishers Weekly, interest in eating locally and the availability（可得到）of ingredients have led to a rise in vegetarian cookbooks.
"People think that a vegan diet is a sacrifice, that it's tasteless and unappealing. It's not. They think you can't get enough protein（蛋白质）, calcium（钙）or iron. You can," said Priscilla Feral, president of Friends of Animals and author of The Best of Vegan Cooking. "It is a way of living in harmony with the planet with healthful eating and fresh, well prepared dishes."
60、According to Mary Lawrence, people are now more interested in the vegan diet because .
A、it is popular among celebrities
B、people are attaching more importance to healthy lifestyles.
C、vegan cookbooks tell how to cook delicious food.
D、vegan food is less expensive than meat.
61、Which of the following statements about Donald Watson is NOT TRUE?
A、He was an American vegetarian.
B、He created the word "vegan".
C、He founded the Vegan Society.
D、He preferred not to eat animal products.
62、What attitude does Priscilla Feral have toward the vegan diet?
A、Suspicious. B、Negative. C、Indifferent. D、Supportive.
63、The underlined word "in" Paragraph 4 is similar in meaning to .
A、successful B、fashionable C、tasty D、healthful
C
There are many confessional（忏悔）—centered projects—on websites or radio shows, in magazines, or in other media. Here is a list of some of the best kown projects:
Fresh Yarn http://www. freshyarn. Com Hillary Carlip describes her project of personal essays this way: You'll read stories that are humorous, exciting, impressive, simple, sweet, personal, courageous—and all true.
Mortified http://getmortified.com "Mortified" is a stage show traveling from coast to coast, in which men and women read from their embarrassing（making somebody feel shy）teenage diaries or letters.
Post Secret http://postsecret. Blogspot.com In the summer of 2008, Fark Warren printed 3,000 selfaddressed postcards and handed them out around Washington , DC . People were asked to write their deepest secret on the card and mail it to Warren anonymously（匿名地）. It caught on， and today the website has 3 to 4 million visitors a month. Selected secrets have been collected in three books:"Post Secret", "My Secret" and "The Secret Lives of Men and Women".
Story Corps http://storycorps.net
Story Corps, an audio project, travels the US, setting up a booth（封闭空间）where friends and family can come in and record one another's stories. Producers hope the recordings, stored at the Library of Congress, will create an oral history of Amereica.
This is American life http://radio program. It uses various formats—from reported pieces to audio essays—to tell stories from all walks of American life.

Don't talk to me, I'm busy with my iPhone
RIDING a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference: in London , people do not look at each other. In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times. That's not rudeness— people are just too busy to bother looking.
Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection（沉思）.Nor are they reading a book. New techology has replaced quiet habits. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an e-book.
Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（乘车上下班的人）. Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000-yes, that's 40,000-"apps"(programs downloaded for the iPhone)have been designed.
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-filler. One "app"，called iShoot, is a game that features tanks. Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination（目的地）. ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone. You can then write in the "steam" on your phone screen.
For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction（消遣）of choice. It's not just teenagers who "plug in" to their music-iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.
And if games, e-books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied. Then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm（掌上）DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work. With all this distraction, it's amazing that people still remember to get off the train.
By Nicola Davison, 21st Century staff 、、、、、、、
68、People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because they are busy .
A、going to work B、reading books
C、thinking private thoughts
D、playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films
69、Those who like war games can download to their iPhones.
A、iShoot B、Tube Exits C、iSteam D、iPod
70、The underlined word "occupied" in the last paragraph probably means .
A、delighted B、busy C、amused D、controlled
71、The article tells us that .
A、London commuters are unfriendly to strangers
B、Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 apps
C、technology is changing the way London commuters spend their traveling time
D、with all the new time-fillers, London commuters often forget to get off the train.

A well-made film offers a whole world of things to watch. First there are the story aspects—the plot, characters, dialogue and themes. Then there are the technical aspects—the camera work, cuttings and special effects. And there are many other things, like the credits, musical score and the acting. A well-made film offers much more than you see in one viewing.
Films are a means of communication. They can tell you things, just as newspapers do, or television, or any other means of communication. Sometimes they communicate important things to you, like ideas or lifestyles or ways of looking at the world. Sometimes people are aware of this, and sometimes not. The more aware, the better you are.
Notice, for example, the way films sometimes affect fashion. A star dresses or wears her hair in a certain way, and suddenly everyone is imitating her. Boys in the 1950s could sometimes be seen wearing black leather jackets, idling（闲散） on street corners and smoking cigarettes. They were imitating Marion Brando. His films taught them a certain way to behave.
Films can also teach politics. In Star Wars, the heroes were a bunch of lovable incompetents（不合格的） fighting with guts（胆量） and not much else. They were, in fact, rather like the British in the early days of WWII. Their enemies, like the Nazis, had a big advantage in equipment and numbers of troops, and they were like the Nazis in discipline and heart lessness too. The whole film, in fact, was a re-run of WWII, and taught values like faith and love of liberty. This is all to the good, but the point is, did you notice it?
72、All of the following are mentioned as noticeable aspects of a film EXCEPT .
A、list of names of actors and directors, etc
B、the cost of a film
C、the music for a film.
D、language used in a film.
73、The last sentence in paragraph one probably means .
A、a high quality film can be appreciated repeatedly from different angles.
B、a good film always attracts a lot of viewers.
C、a well-made film usually has more than one theme
D、one can never find out how many characters there are in a good film
74、It can be inferred from the passage that in his film, Marion Brando was .
A、a motorist who always wore a black leather jacket
B、a homeless man who died of excessive smoking
C、a rebellious man during WWII
D、an idler who didn't have any serious things to do
75、The Star Wars is a film .
A、about WWII B、for politics
C、reflecting WWII D、for peace lovers
