第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分)
A
I was born when my father and mother were on their way to Nash, a lonely place where they were to meet with hardship and difficulties they both liked this land very much, which might have best explained why they moved from Missouri to such a town in western Kansas. They did most of their shopping in Nash, but before Nash was built, they shipped at the little town of Moran, where there was a small grocery store.
I remember when the railroad came to Nash, when the first telephones came, and the first cars. We lived six miles from town so we missed out meeting trains. My mother was sick when I was small, so I did a lot of the household chores, even doing the laundry, as I was the oldest ,but I never worked outside with my five brothers. I remember going to school with my brothers. When we played basketball, we played outside, and the girls wore skirts and bloomers, and got along fine. I liked spelling matches, and we competed with other schools once or twice a month.
I married Herm Messenger, a farmer in 1971. Eleven children were born to us, four boys and seven girls, four dead at birth, one pair of twins, Paul and Pauline. However, Pauline died when she was nineteen months old. My first washing machine was operated by hand, pushing the handle back and forth. Later, I got a machine with an electric motor. My first machine with a wringer(绞拧机)was a kind of a joke, as Herm took it to the church, and put it on the Christmas tree for me. That might not be exciting to a housewife today, but I thought it was!
56. From the passage we can learn that the writer’s parents .
A. had the first child unexpectedly B. liked Missouri very much
C. had a hard time in Nash D. had to shop a great deal
57. What can we know about the author in the second paragraph?
A. She saw for herself first trains, first telephones and first cars.
B. She played, worked and went to school with his brothers.
C. She enjoyed winning the spelling matches when at school.
D. She did a lot of household chores when she was small.
58. In the last paragraph the author suggests that .
A. the way her husband put a wringer on a tree was funny.
B. she was excited when she received the wringer from her husband
C. her husband was fond of playing a joke on her
D. her first washing machine was electrically run
B
What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing interests. Your roommate’s need to study for an exam may take priority（优先） over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade. And the object of your romantic interest may have other choices.
In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our points of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail---other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation, and the merit of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.
Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable---to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical(合乎道义的) or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrading. Persuaders may enlighten our mind or prey（捕获） on our weakness. Ethical persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions
we now must make. Therefore, the most basic part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.
Beyond its personal importance to us, persuasion is necessary to society. The right to persuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution(美国宪法)
59. According to the passage, persuasion means __________.
A. changing others’ point of view
B. exercising power over other people
C. getting other people to consider your point of view
D. getting people to agree with you and do what you want
60. The underlined word in the second passage “prevail” means ___________.
A. win B. fail C. speak D. listen
61. The passage states that some people object to persuasion because they think it is __________.
A. a danger to society B. difficult to do well
C. unwelcome behavior D. never successful
62. The passage mainly discusses _____________.
A. how people persuade B. why people persuade
C. that persuasion is both good and bad
D. that persuasion is important and it is all around us
C
It is sometimes said that the English are polite people. This can make life difficult for foreigners. Suppose a foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with him and she says, “If I finish my work, I’ll meet you in the café at 7 o’clock.” Is she saying “yes” or “no” to his invitation?
In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional structure. By using the conditional, speakers of English can avoid giving a “yes” or “no” answer to a question. It enables people to be diplomatic(婉转的). If the girl doesn’t want to go out with the boy, she won’t turn up at the café. She will let him understand she is still working. If she wants to go out with him, but doesn’t want to appear too easy to catch, she has achieved that with her reply. But in this case, as she uses the first conditional which shows probability, she is quite likely to turn up at the café. Being polite can make life very difficult.
The conditional is often used by people in the news –politicians, for example –who wish to avoid speaking out their ideas. This is very important if they are on their way to discuss an agreement. No one wants to give away his or her points before he or she starts. A government spokesman might say to a group of workers, “If we could pay you more, we would.” The use of the conditional here makes room for argument although the speaker is using the second conditional form, which shows improbability. So it is unlikely the workers will get their rise.
“If” is a small word, which appears often in the English language. It can show politeness, reported speech and conditionals such as the First—probability –if I can come to your party, I will; the Second—improbability –if I saw you tomorrow, I’d give you the book and the third—impossibility (meaning it is too late to change something that has happened) –if you have told me, I would have helped you.
63. The using of the conditional can make a speech ________.
A. clearer B. quicker C. more polite D. more exciting
64. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Language used in the news should make room to argue.
B. English people never speak out their ideas in public.
C. Usually English girls are not easy to catch.
D. The word “if” can show different meanings.
65. In the passage, “If we could pay you more, we would.” probably means ________.
A. the workers’ problems are not difficult
B. the spokesman doesn’t give any promise
C. the workers will make more money
D. the spokesman keeps his word
66. The passage is mainly talking about _______.
A. the conditional in communication B. how to invite a girl in Britain
C. British people and their life D. some language points
D
Microwaves may be great at warming up food, but what about warming people?
Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. And despite popular ideas about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles R. Burlier of the Microwave Research Center in Marlborough, New Hampshire. Low-power microwaves only penetrate (贯穿) the skin (low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches, for example) and with no negative effects.
To test this idea, Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500-watt, 2459 MHz magnetron (磁控管). He found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20 milliwatts per square centimeter (mw. / sq. cm. ) ; a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50mw. / sq. cm. By comparison, a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85 mw. / sq. cm. And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1000 mw. / sq. cm.
In houses of the future, each room could be provided with its own magnetron, says Buffler. When you stepped into the living room, for example, a motion detector would turn on the magnetron, filling the room with low-power microwaves. In the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hamburger, but not the plate it’s on, you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table. (You could, however, make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical. )
While it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole-body microwave heaters in houses, Buffler says microwaves may attract livestock farmers. Lambs that are born outdoors in winter, for example, are frequently lost to cold. Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.
67. Which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage?
A. A new heating system. B. A new microwave oven.
C. A popular technique. D. The magnetron.
68. According to paragraph 2, which of the following does not describe the characteristics of a microwave heater?
A. It directly heats people in a room. B. It heats walls and furniture in a room.
C. It is safe. D. It saves energy．
69. The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels comfortable warmth, he receives about______.
A. 20 mw. / sq. cm. B. 40 mw. / sq. cm.
C. 60 mw. / sq. cm. D. 85 mw. / sq. cm.
70. According to paragraph 4, which of the following fills the room with low-power microwaves?
A. The magnetron. B. The motion detector.
C. The microwave oven. D. The radiation-absorbing chemical.
71. Which of the following statements about microwave heaters would Buffler most probably agree with?
A. Microwave heaters will soon be widely used by homeowners.
B. Microwave heaters sometimes make people feel uncomfortable.
C. Perhaps microwave heaters will be first used by livestock farmers, who wish to protect their lambs in winter.
D. Microwave heaters cannot be accepted by the public because they are somewhat unsafe.

A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.
The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20% - 40% that are caused by tiredness.
Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel (方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response.
Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time. Usually a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.
In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should ou0en a window or stop for a rest. If the driver’s continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.
The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.
72. According to the text, Driver Alert .
A. aims to reduce tiredness-related accidents B. has gone through testing at laboratories
C. aims to prevent drivers from sleeping D. has been on sale for 12 months
73. How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert?
A. By sounding a warning. B. By touching the wristband.
C. By checking the driving time. D. By pressing the steering wheel.
74. We can learn from the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his response time is __________.
A. about 400 milliseconds B. below 500 milliseconds
C. over 500 milliseconds D. about 4 minutes
75. When the driver gets sleepy while driving, Driver Alert ______.
A. moves more regularly B. stops working properly
C. opens the window for the driver D. sounds more frequently and loudly

Go to university near or far?
Different classmates have different opinions about going to a university outside or inside their city. Some think they would like to study at a university far away from their homes so that they can llive a life on their.
