第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题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
Public schools in West Virginia are using a dance video to help get kids in shape.
Kids are often told to turn off their video games and get some exercise. Schools in West Virginia have found a way for kids to work out while playing a video game.
West Virginia is one of the heaviest states in the country. About half of its fifth-graders are considered overweight or obese. To get kids moving on a healthier path, the states’ public schools are using a video game called Dance Revolution.
Getting kids’ feet moving
To use the game, players stand on a special mat in front of a TV screen. Following arrows on the screen, players must move their feet to specific symbols on the mat. Players must move quickly, touching symbols on the mat at just the right time. With each song, kids get more exercise.
“If we can get children to change their behavior at a young age, they hopefully will grow up to be healthy and active adults,” said Carl Callison of Mountain State Blue Cross, a healthy care company.
Target: kids’ health
West Virginia is consistently ranked among the top three heaviest states. About one third of West Virginians are considered obese. Even more are considered overweight.
Extra weight can lead to serious health issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, some cancers and many others.
One out of three children born in West Virginia today will have diabetes by the time they grow up,” said Nidia Henderson, a manager for the public employees insurance program. “ That’s a devastating statistic( ) and not acceptable.”
Spreading a dance revolution
All of West Virginia’s 157 middle schools are using the video game. School officials hope all public schools in the state will use the game within the next three years. However, officials emphasize that the game is not meant to replace physical education and health class. The game will be a part of physical education classes and after-school programs.
56. Why is a dance revolution spreading in so many West Virginia’s middle schools ?
A. Because they want to replace physical education and health classes.
B. Because they want to enrich their physical education and after-school activities.
C. Because they want to help avoid the kids from getting too fat.
D. Because it is popular with all the kids.
57. What can be inferred from the passage ?
A. West Virginia is one of the states which have the most kids with the health problems of overweight.
B. About one third of the children born in West Virginia suffer from diabetes.
C. All those who are overweight have high blood pressure or cancers.
D. Overweight is the greatest threat to people’s health.
58. The best title for this passage would be_________.
A. Dancing for health
B. The kids’ health care
C. Overweight and health problems
D. A dance revolution
59. The underlined word “obese” in Para.3 probably means ________.
A. overgrown B. very fat
C. less healthy D. very slim
B
In recent years American society has become increasingly dependent on its universities to find solutions to its major problems. It is the universities that have been charged with the principal responsibility for developing the expertise (专门技术) to place men on the moon; for dealing with our urban problems and with our deteriorating environment; for developing the means to feed the world’s rapidly increasing population. The effort involved in meeting these demands presents its own problems. In addition, this concentration on the creation of new knowledge significantly impinges on the universities efforts to perform their other principal functions, the transmission（传授，传送）and interpretation of knowledge———the imparting（知识，传授） of the past and the preparing of the next generation to carry it forward.
With regard to this, perhaps their most traditionally sanctioned (认可) task, colleges and universities today find themselves in a serious bind generally. On the one hand, there is the American commitment, entered into especially since World WarⅡ, to provide higher education for all young people who can profit from it. The result of the commitment has been a dramatic rise in enrollments (人学) in our universities, coupled with a radical shift from the private to the public sector of higher education. On the other hand, there are serious and continuing limitations on the resources available for higher education.
While higher education has become a great “ growth industry”, it is also a tremendous drain on the resources of the nation. With the vast increase in enrollment and the shift in priorities (优先) away from education in state and federal budgets, there is in most of our public institutions a significant decrease in per capita outlay for their students. One crucial aspect of this drain on resources lies in the persistent shortage of trained faculty, which has led, in turn, to a declining standard of competence in instruction.
Intensifying these difficulties is, the concern with research, with its competing claims on resources and the attention of the faculty. In addition, there is a strong tendency for the institutions organization and functioning to conform to the demands of research rather than those of teaching.
60.According to the author, which of the following is the most important function of institutions of higher education?
A.Providing solutions to social problems.
B.Creating new knowledge.
C.Preparing their students to transmit inherited（继承的） knowledge.
D.Marking experts on advanced industries out of their students.
61.The underlined phrase “impinge on”(Line 7,Para 1)probably means______.
A. cut down on
B. have an effect on
C. rely on
D. work on
62.According to the passage, one of the causes for the difficulties of American higher education is that______.
A.the government has stopped giving public institutions as much financial support as it used to
B.many public institutions have replaced private ones
C.American universities spend too much time finding solutions to major problems of the society
D.The government only finances such researches as that of placing man on the moon
63.A Serious outcome brought out by the shortage of resource is that______.
A.some institutions have to reduce the expenses on research
B.many public institutions have to cut down enrollments of students
C.teachers are not qualified enough for satisfactory performance in classes
D.there is strong competition for resources and attention of the faculty between public and private institutions
C
In some urban centers , workaholism is so common that people do not consider it unusual: they accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington, D.C., for example, frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week. They don’t do this because they have to; they do it because they want to.
Workaholism can be a serious problem. Because true workaholics would rather work than do anything else; they probably don’t know how to relax.
Is workaholism always dangerous ? Perhaps not. There are, certainly, people who work well under stress. Some studies show that many workaholics have great energy and interest in life. Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics , work and entertainment are the same thing. Their jobs provide them with a challenge ,which keeps them busy and creative.
Why do workaholics enjoy their jobs so much ? There are several advantages to work. Of course, it provides people with paychecks, and this is im?portant. But it offers more financial security. It provides people with self-confidence. They have a feeling of satisfaction when they have produced a challenging piece of work and are able to say , “ I made that.” Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity ; through taking part in work, they get a sense of self and individualism. In addition, most jobs provide people with a socially acceptable way to meet others. Perhaps some people can not help doing their work, but their addiction seem to be safe, even an advantageous one.
64.The passage mainly tells us that__________.
A. workaholism is not really accepted by the public
B. workaholism can be a serious problem but it can also creates a pleasant life
C. workaholics may enjoy sports and some other entertainments
D. those who work even well under stress may still feel very happy
65. The passage shows that workaholics__________.
A. know nothing except work
B. work hard without pay
C. believe their work brings them satisfaction
D. have more interest in work than in entertainment
66. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.
A. in the eyes of ordinary people in some urban centers workaholics are unusual
B. none of the workaholics know how to relax themselves
C. the sense of satisfaction of the workaholics only comes from their challenging work
D. workaholics are as addicted to their jobs as other people are to drugs or alcohol
D
The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals plays an important role in the process of recovery from illness.
As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into the public places, some of the country’s most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have important collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms.
These recent initiatives（发起） owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.
A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 500 visitors each week. What better place to hold regular exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain’s first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates
The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitors experience a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards.
The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers in comparison with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.
67. What do we know about Peter Senior ?
A. He is s famous doctor interested in art.
B. He is an artist who has a large collection of paintings.
C. He is a pioneer in introducing art into hospitals.
D. He is a faithful follower of hospital art.
68. In Peter senior’s opinion, __________.
A. art is gradually losing its audience in modern society
B. art galleries should be changed into hospitals
C. patients should be encouraged in learn painting.
D. art should be encouraged into hospitals
69. After the improvement of the hospital environment, ____________.
A. patients don’t need good-quality drugs in their recovery
B. patients are no longer wholly dependent on expensive drugs
C. patients no longer need any drugs in their treatment
D. patients use no pain killers in their recovery
70.The underlined part “ to soften the hard edges of modern buildings” in Para.2 probably means___________.
A. to decorate hospitals with art collections
B. to pull down old hospital buildings
C. to improve the quality of treatment in hospitals
D. to make the corners of hospital buildings round
71. The fact that six young art school graduates joined Peter shows that _________.
.A. the role of hospital environment is being recognized
B. Peter enjoys great popularity
C. they are all talented artists
D. Peter’s attracted them to join in his plan

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down empty street under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers . Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “ Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming .How could this man know my name ? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with a amused look in his eyes. “ Is this what you’re looking for ?” he asked ,holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 am by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.
72. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work ?
A. Cold and sick
B. Fortunate and hopeful.
C.Disappointed and helpless.
D. Satisfied and cheerful.
73. From the first paragraph, we can learn that the writer was busy _________.
A. solving her problem at the bank
B.taking part in various city activities
C.learning acting in an evening school
D. preparing for the first night show
74. On her way home the writer _________.
A. lost her wallet unknowingly
B. was stopped by a garbage truck driver

75. From the text, we can infer that the writer ________.
