第三部分 阅读理解 (共15小题，每小题2分，满分30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
Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times. Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for science, one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married, some worked with their husbands, and others raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.
In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. Mary and her father collected fossils (化石) in their village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.
When she was only twelve years old, Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons(骨架) of several animals that no longer existed on earth. She didn’t become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.
In 1891, a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics. She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland. She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. They received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 along with another scientist. Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize in 1911, this time for Chemistry. Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time who became famous as a scientist.

Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students. People can “farm” on a piece of “land” and “grow”, “sell” or even “steal” “vegetables”, “flowers” and “fruits” on the Net. They earn some e-money and buy more “seeds”, “pets” and even “houses”.
Joyce interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions.
Harold: I don’t quite understand why they are so mad about the childish game. Maybe they are just not confident enough to face the real world.
Allan: I enjoy putting some “bugs” (小虫子) in my friends’' gardens and we’ve become closer because of the game. Having fun together is the most exciting thing about it.
Laura: You know, people in the city are longing for the life in the countryside. It reduces my work pressure in the office; besides, it gives me the exciting feeling of being a “thief”.
Ivy: Well, it’s just a waste of time. Teenagers playing the game spend so many hours on it that they cannot pay more attention to their study. 61. By playing the game, people can ______. A. make a lot of money B. make many friends C. have great fun D. better their life

The largest-ever chariot pit (战车坑) of relics with carts and horse bones has been discovered in Henan Province. It may lead to the uncovering of chariot pit groups that could be a key to understanding Chinese civilizations that existed more than 2,000 years ago.
Experts said the relics are dated more than 300 years earlier than the famous warriors (武士) in Shaanxi Province. What excited the experts were two other projects that located two huge pits with similar features.
“It is absolutely a miracle. These relics indicate that there could be a tomb group in this area, which is likely to be important for China’s archaeological (考古学的) studies,” said Ma Juncai, a leading relic researcher in the province.
In ancient China, carts, sheep, spoons and so on were buried to ensure that dead people had a happy afterlife. The number and quality of the sacrifices indicated the social status of the dead. The custom was carried into the Qin Dynasty. Emperor Qinshihuang’s tomb, located near Xi’an,

the capital of Shanxi Province, is accompanied by thousands of wood or clay figures of warriors and horses. The tomb is probably the most well-known.
The discovered pit measures 10.4 meters long, 8.4 meters wide and 5 meters deep. It holds 20 carts in different sizes. The smallest one is 1.05 meters long and 1.3 meters wide.
Experts think that 40 horses are likely to be found as well. Careful plans need to be made to deal with the demanding uncovering. “The clay is very weak and a small misstep can destroy the whole project. That’s why we need to take every step very carefully to protect these cherished cultural relics,” Ma said.
66. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The dead people’s sacrifices in ancient China. B. China’s archaeological studies.
C. The discovery of a large chariot pit in Henan. D. The history of Chinese civilizations.
67. According to Ma Juncai, the uncovering of the three pits is a miracle because ______. A. it shows there may be a tomb group there
B. it’s helpful in discovering Emperor Qinshihuang’s tomb C. the relics are dated such a long time ago
D. the relics are more than 300 years older than the ones in Shan’xi 68. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that ______. A. all dead people had sacrifices in ancient China
B. the discovered pit is the most well-known in the world C. the discovered pit dates back to the Qin Dynasty
D. Emperor Qinshihuang wanted to maintain his power after death 69. Careful plans for the uncovering are needed because ______. A. another 40 horses are likely to be found as well B. the whole uncovering could be destroyed easily C. experts are too busy to spare time for it D. the government hasn’t agreed to it
70. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. The discovery has drawn the leading experts’ attention. B. A lot of cultural relics have been discovered in Henan.
C. 40 horses have been discovered together with the chariot pit. D. The discovered carts in the chariot pit are similar in size.

To be a good teacher, you need some of the talents of a good actor：you must be able to hold attention and interest of your students；you must be a clear speaker, with a good，strong，pleasing voice which is fully under your control；you must be able to act what you are teaching，in order to make its meaning clear．
A good teacher does’t sit still before his class；he stands all the time while he is teaching；he walks about，using his arms，hands and fingers to help him in his explanations，and his face to express his feelings．Listen to him，and you will hear the loudness，the quality and musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about．
The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean he will indeed
第5页 共8页
be able to act well on the stage，for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s．The actor has to speak words he has learnt by heart；he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part，even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand．What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words seem natural on the stage．
A good teacher works in quite a different way．His audience takes an active part in his play-they ask and answer questions，they obey orders，and if they don’t understand something，they say no．The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience．He can’t learn his part by heart，because their brains couldn’t keep discipline：they couldn’t keep strictly to what another has written．
71．If you want to be a good teacher, you should ．
A．act out what you have learnt strictly B．be a good actor on the stage C．sit all the time while teaching D．suit the need of different students 72．The underlined word talents in the first paragraph means A．methods B．girls C．wishes D interests 73．In what way is a teacher’s work different from that of an actor’s? A．The teacher must learn everything by heart． B．He has to deal with unexpected situations． C．He has to use more facial expressions．
D．He has to control his voice better than an actor．
74．The main difference between students and audience in the theatre is that students A．move around the class B．keep silent all the time C．take an active part in class D．1ike body language
75．If Tom Hanks，the famous actor, would like to be a good teacher, he may need training in
A．how to use body language B．how to repeat his lines C．how to be more quick-minded D．how to be attractive

阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后面的要求答题 (请注意问题后的字数要求)
Being able to connect with others through small talk can lead to big things, according to Debra Fine, author of \"The Fine Art of Small Talk.\"
Fine and her fellow authorities on making small talk offer the following tips for starting -- and ending -- conversations:
1. As you prepare for a conference, come up with three things to talk about as well as four generic questions that will get others talking. If you've met the host before, __________, such as her passion for a sport or a charity you're both involved in.
2. Be the first to say \"Hello.\" If you're not sure the other person will remember you, offer your name to ease the pressure. For example: \"Charles Bartlett? Lynn Schmidt -- good to see you again.\" Smile first and always shake hands when you meet someone.
3. Have something interesting to contribute. Keeping up with current events and culture will provide you with great conversation builders, leading with \"What do you think of ...?\"
第6页 共8页
\"Have you heard ...?\" Stay away from negative or controversial topics.
4. Have a few exit lines ready so that you can both gracefully move on. For example, \"I need to check in with a client over there,\" \"I skipped lunch today, so I need to visit the buffet,\" or you can offer to refresh their drink.
When should you exit a conversation? According to Susan RoAne, author and speaker known as the \"Mingling Maven,\" your aim in all conversations should be to make a good impression and leave people wanting more. To do that, she advises: \"Be bright. Be brief. Be gone.\"
76. What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)

写 作：(One possible version)
We middle school students have had many tests and exams. We have both achieved success and suffered from failure. Different students take different attitudes to failure. Some fall in low spirits when they don’t do well in the exams. They usually lose heart and no longer study as before. But most students take an active attitude toward failure. They encourage themselves to be self-confident. They try to find out and analyze the causes so that they will no longer make similar mistakes. They often turn to their teachers, classmates or friends for advice. I agree with those with active attitudes. As we all know, failure is the mother of success. Even great men have failed many times before they succeeded. So we must deal with our failure correctly.
