第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题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。
A
NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase（抹去）, the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
“ Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “ This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”
But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity(特质).They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are, I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.
56. The passage is mainly about _____________.
A. a new medical invention B. a new research on the pill
C.a way of erasing painful memories D. an argument about the research on the pill
57. The drug tested on people can ______________.
A. cause the brain to fix memories
B. stop people remembering bad experiences
C. prevent body producing certain chemicals
D. wipe out the emotional effects of memories.
58. We can infer from the passage that ____________.
A. people doubt the effects of the pills.
B. the pill will stop people’s bad experiences.
C. taking the pill will do harm to people’s health.
D. the pill has probably been produced in America.
59. Which
of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?
A. Some memories can ruin people’s lives.
B. People want to get rid of bad memories.
C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.
D. The pill will reduce people’s sufferings from bad memories.

“ The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium, was made up of three parts—“ The Fellowship of the Ring”, “ Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. his parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.
After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.
Hobbit was a name tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves(侏儒). On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.
One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft. The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “ The Hobbit” was published in 1937.
It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “ The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers- new and old- after their publication.
60. What can we learn from the text?
A. “ The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.
B. People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.
C. Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.
D. Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.
61. Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published?
A. One of Tolkien’s students. B. Stanley Unwin’s son.
C. Allen & Unwin. D. Bilbo Baggins.
62. What is mainly discussed in the text?
A. “ The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.
B. A completely new masterwork in the new millennium.
C. A famous professor at Oxford University.
D. The power of the magic ring.
63. Which of the following shows the right order of Mr. J. R. R. Tolkien’s life experience?
a. He had his “ The Hobbit” published.
b. He became a member of the Inklings.
c. He served in World War I.
d. He became an undergraduate at Oxford.
e. His work “ The Lord of the Rings” came to the world.
f. He moved to England to live with his aunt.
A. f-d-b-c-a-e B. f-d-c-b-a-e C. f-c-d-b-e-a D. d-f-c-a-b-e

By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along, doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.
Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it, or would have to change it frequently, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.
No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others. There are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable, and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work. Many able students state that they work in cycles. When they become interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time. On other days they avoid work completely. It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation to work. Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine, and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work. The “ tough-minded” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally, under the influence of inspiration.
Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom”. Freedom from control and discipline leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development”. Our society insists on regular habits, timekeeping and punctuality, and whether we like it or not, if we mean to make our way in society, we have to meet its demands.
68. The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is ___________.
A. changing from one subject to another
B. the failure to keep to a set timetable of work
C. the unwillingness to follow a systematic plan
D. working on a subject only when one feels like it
69. Which of the following is true?
A. Many students are not interested in using a self-controlled timetable.
B. Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed timetable.
C. Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.
D. Tough- minded people agree that good work is done naturally.
70. The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph 4 means __________.
A. when they have the energy B. when they are in the mood
C. when they feel fit D. when they find conditions suitable
71. A suitable title for the passage might be __________.
A. Attitudes to Study B. A Study Plan
C. The Difficulties of Studying D. Study and Self- discipline
E
The opinion of many engineers is that the architects that designed the New York World Trade Center Twin Towers did a good job in designing the buildings. The buildings were safe from the hazards envisioned (预想到的) at the time. Indeed, they were designed to withstand the force of aircraft that might crash into them. They were not however, designed to withstand the effects of the very high temperatures produced by the ignition (点燃) of aviation fuel carried by the aircraft.
Steel lightly covered with concrete is the main structural part of the towers and steel loses a lot of structural strength when heated to 1100 degrees Centigrade and beyond, as it was. To protect the steel the towers beams were coated with a few centimeters of concrete. That insulation (隔离) was to provide structural state of being complete for at least 1 hour of fire. The towers met that test. The south tower lasted 62minutes. The north, 103 minutes. Tragedy followed when not all could escape before the collapse.
Most experts agree that the Twin Towers were very well designed. Many also agree that the people planning the attacks were very knowledgeable and aimed the aircraft at a height that would effect the most damage. The aircraft crash and the resulting fuel fed fires were aimed at about the 90th floor. That was just high enough to insure that the upper floors would weaken with the heat and crack down, dropping into the remaining part of the building.
The mass of the falling top floors created such a falling load that some experts estimate it exceeded by 5 to 10 times normal bearing loads. The effect was like a giant hammer, each floor contributing more weight to be born by the next floor down.
Were the Trade Towers well designed? Engineers say yes. But, the public refers to the belief that architects will never again design a tall building without considering the effects of terrorist attacks of all potential kinds. That not only includes the ability of the structure to withstand attack but the means to allow the buildings occupants to escape in time to survive.
72. Many engineers believe that the Twin Tower was well-designed after September 11 because _________________
A. it could withstand aircraft crashing into it at the moment.
B. it could withstand any natural hazards such as earthquake or fire
C. it had an attracting and beautiful appearance until they were destroyed
D. they had the miserable honor of being selected as the target of terrorist attack
73. According to the article, those who designed the tower could have done better if _______
A. the tower lasted longer after being attacked
B. the tower held stable until all of the people in there managed to escape
C. the tower can be immune to such attacks
D. they considered more about the effects of the very high temperatures and made duel(决定性的) changes in the structure
74. The part of the building below 90th floor _____________.
A. remained where they were B. cracked down because of the burning
C. was hammered down by the falling upper part D. was safe after the attack
75. The author believed that the Twin Towers ____________.
A. were not well- designed B. were well-designed
C. were good examples for engineers of our time.
D. were out of consideration when we talk about engineering later.

Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about the effect of Internet bars on our life. Nearly one third of the students think Internets bars can help enrich our life after school. With the places provided to get onto the Internet, communication becomes more convenient. What’s more, students can search for useful information there when doing research work on a certain subject. On the other hand, over two thirds of the students disagree, because many students waste a lot of time playing games or chatting on line. Also, due to poor management and control, plenty of unhealthy information, which has a pretty bad effect on young people, can be easily got in the bars. Besides, none of them offer free service, which greatly adds to the economic burden of the students and their parents.
Yours sincerely,
Liu Wei
