第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分） 第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

I had to knock on the taxi to get his attention. Finally, the driver, a man about 60, looked up from behind the wheel and apologized, “I’m sorry, but I was reading a letter.” He sounded as if he had a cold or a cough. Since I was in no hurry, I told him to finish his letter. He shook his head, explaining that he had already read it several times and almost knew it by heart. Curious, I asked whether it was from a child or maybe a grandchild. “This isn’t family,” he replied. “though he might just as well have been a regular member of the family. Old Ed and I grew up together.” They were always friends. But since he moved away from the neighborhood 30 years ago, it’d generally just been postcards at Christmas time between them. A couple of weeks ago, Ed died. “I should have kept in touch.” He repeated this, more to himself than to me. To comfort him, I said sometimes we just didn’t seem to find the time. “But we used to find the time,” he said. “Take a look.” He handed the letter over to me.

The first sentence “I’ve been meaning to write for some time, but I’ve always delayed it.” reminded me of myself. It went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together. When I read the part where it said “Your friendship really means a lot to me, more than I can say because I’m not good at saying things like that”, I found myself nodding in agreement.

We had gone several kilometers and were almost at my hotel, so I read the last paragraph: “So I thought you’d like to know that I was thinking of you.” And it was ended with “Your Old Friend, Tom.”

“I thought your friend’s name was Ed,” I said.

“I’m Tom,” he explained. “It’s a letter I wrote to Ed before I knew he’d died. I never put it in the mailbox. I guess I should have written it sooner.” His face was pale as he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.

When I got to my hotel room I didn’t unpack right away. I had to write a letter and post it. 56. Who wrote the letter? A. Tom. B. Old Ed. C. The author. D. The driver’s grandchild. 57.It can be inferred from the passage that the driver regretted_____.

3

A. missing Ed’s funeral

B. moving away from his neighborhood C. forgetting to send Ed Christmas cards D. not being able to keep in touch with Ed

58. From Paragraph 4, we learn that the author _______. A. often fails to write to his friends

B. has no intention to write to his friends C. had many great moments with his friends D. was good at expressing his feelings to friends

59. What message does the passage probably try to convey？ A. Comfort your friends when they are feeling down.

B. Life is unpredictable so live each day as if it were your last.

C. Remember to always mail your letters after expressing your words. D. Always make time to value and experience your lasting friendships. B

Lights Out at Bedtime

There are plenty of good reasons to power up a personal desktop or laptop computer in the evening — writing e-mails, chatting on social networks or making purchases over the Internet, for instance. But various studies indicate that people who stare at a PC’s bright monitor shortly before going to bed probably sleep less soundly than they would otherwise because the light seriously affects their natural wake-sleep cycle. \Psychiatric Clinic in St. Hedwig's Hospital in Berlin.

Similarly, exposure to just 10 minutes of normal bathroom lighting is enough to free the sleep hormone melatonin, which regulates people's natural wake-sleep cycle and makes them sleepy at nightfall.

Ten years ago, a team of British and American researchers detected a photo-pigment（光敏色素） in the human eye that signals to the body whether it is day or night, summer or winter. The photo-pigment is especially sensitive to blue light.

\blue light more or less tells the body, 'It's daytime, be awake,'\Kunz says. Monitors have a mostly cold white light content and scientists suspect the photo-pigment may react similarly to it. So the longer people look into the bright light, the more awake they become - and then sleep poorly.

A lot of people have difficulty \the evening. About half of the women in Germany and a quarter of the men sleep poorly.

Environmental factors are only one of the possible causes. Job stress as well as personal and health concerns are also the main reasons for their sleep problems.

In addition，electronic objects' standby lights and indicator lamps can be annoying in the dark and affect sleep. \Kunz notes.

According to Kunz, those who cannot go without their computer in the evening should turn down the blue content if possible and lower the brightness somewhat. \nobody does that because, after all, you want to concentrate while working at the computer and the light helps the brain.\

60. The passage is mainly about ____________. A. natural wake-up cycles B. the effect of light on sleep C. personal and health concerns D. functions of computer monitors

61. The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to_____. A. normal bathroom lighting

B. 10-minute exposure to lighting C. the release process of a chemical

D. a chemical affecting one’s sleep cycle 62. We can learn from the passage that ______. A. the blue light has a calming effect.

B. the photo-pigment tells people day or night

C. women in Germany use computers more often than men D. it has been proved that standby lights affect people’s sleep

C

The Loss of Innocence

Innocence is such a precious gift. It’s explained as freedom from guilt or wrong doing. Just imagine never having to worry about anything and having a guilt free mind. Some people wish to save this kind of innocence from being lost from childhood to adulthood.

What would the world be like if innocence were never lost? One way it would benefit humanity is the lack of hatred （仇恨）among the world. During youth, there may be an occasional argument, even a little physical fight, but nothing like firing a handgun at a fellow human being. And children are blind towards the racial differences of others. A kid will hang out with any other kid. It is the lack of innocence and the ignorance we learn from adults that influence children otherwise. Another benefit is the constant desire for fun and adventure. With very little if any time at all for fun，the adventurous mind is lost in time with the responsibilities placed upon adults. If innocence were kept alive, these ambitions would never depart from our lives.

However, other people actually hate the idea of innocence lasting for ever. They feel that the lack of organization and mental power of those with innocence would cause
