第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后所给的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
British men are encouraged to cry
There are certain things British men like to believe about themselves．The first is that one day they will again win the World Cup．They also believe they do not cry．
Over the centuries, Britons are believed to have a "stiff upper lip"．But is this true?
Yes, it is．A recent study arranged by Kleenex on how the British express their emotions reveals that 95 percent of them still contain their emotions．
Moreover, while 72 percent think this is unhealthy, 19 percent can't remember the last time they "let it out"．As a result, Kleenex is launching the "Let It Out" campaign that encourages Brits to grab a tissue and have a good cry．
These days, however, the male Briton's attitude toward crying is changing．Though the majority still struggles to open up emotionally, a 2004 study by Oxford's Social Issues Research Center found that 77 percent of British men considered crying in public increasingly acceptable．Half of London males admitted crying in front of their mothers．Scotsmen are the least emotional, although they are the most likely to cry at weddings．
Peter Marsh, director of the center, said: "Crying can now indicate sensitivity rather than weakness．Like with David Beckham, crying because you're dropping off your boy at nursery isn't seen as weak．"
Winston Churchill was said to be a frequent crier, shedding tears at seeing a survivor in an air raid shelter (防空洞), and when he saw his wife after a long absence．
Psychologists say that while society has accepted that men can cry, there are limits．Ronald Bracey, a consulting psychologist, said: "If a man began to cry when he was having stitches (缝针) in hospital, he would be considered as a wimp (软弱的人)．Men still need to be seen as strong when it comes to physical pain．"
81．What does the passage mainly deal with?
A．Impression of British men．
B．British men's dream of the World Cup．
C．Advice on how to control emotions．
D．Different attitudes British men have towards crying．
82．Which of the following concerning the British men is NOT true according to the passage?
A．They are supposed to easily control emotions over the centuries．
B．They are confident that they will again get successful in the World Cup．
C．About 50% of British men admitted crying before their mothers．
D．Nowadays, the male Briton's attitude toward crying is changing．
83．The word "contain" in paragraph 3 means ______．
A．store B．hold back C．include D．stir up
84．What does the author think of the British men's crying?
A．They should cry if hurt．
B．They should keep firm not to cry to show they are not wimps．
C．They should be brave in face of physical pain and cry if necessary when facing other problems．
D．They should "let it out" whatever problems they meet with．
B
Anyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memories of Ralph W．Tyler, who is one of the most famous men in American education．高.考.资.源.网
Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education．
Graduate work at University of Chicago found him connected with honorable educators Charles Judd and W．W．Charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work．In 1927, he became a teacher of Ohio State University where he further developed a new method of teaching．
Tyler became well-known nationality in 1938, when he carried his work with the Eight-Year Study from Ohio State University to the University of Chicago at the invitation of Robert Hutchins．
Tyler was the first director of the center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, a position he held for fourteen years．There, he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent spirit in their work．
Although Tyler officially retired in 1967, he never actually retired．He served on a long list of educational organizations in the United States and abroad．Even in his 80s he traveled across the country to advise teachers and management people on how to set objectives that develop the best teaching and learning within their schools．
85．Who are most probably interested in Ralph W．Tyler’s memories?
A．Top managers B．Language learners
C．Serious educators D．Science organizations
86．The words “hooked on teaching” underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean ____________．
A．attracted to teaching B．tired of teaching
C．satisfied with teaching D．unhappy about teaching
87．Where did Tyler work as the leader of a research center for over 10 years?
A．The University of Chicago B．Stanford University
C．Ohio State University D．Nebraska University

Women turn to online shopping
Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US．
For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women．
“It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study．
Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men．This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending．
Users were more likely to shop online to save time ．Internet users between the ages 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic increase in the online gift-buying population this time around．
However, three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004．They worried about credit card security, or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals．
“But even if shoppers don’t buy online, websites are becoming promotion tools for stores,” said Dan Hess, vice president of ComScore Networks Inc．Hess said that actually most stores’ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers．And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time
“It’s all about making the shopping experience more efficient, more reliable and more comfortable．” Hess said．
88．Which of the following statements is true?
A．There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004．
B．Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women．
C．People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online．
D．More women shopped online than men in 2004．
89．From the passage we can infer that ______________．
A．men usually decide how to spend money in the family
B．women usually decide what to buy in the family
C．the Internet is used in all the shops
D．more and more shops will sell their goods online
90．According to Dan Hess , shopping online ______________．
A．is unsafe B．is convenient
C．is a waste of money D．is cheaper
91．What can we know from the passage?
A．American people only gifts in holidays．
B．Shopping online is fun for women．
C．Shopping off-line provides better serve．
D．Young people like to do gift-shopping online．
D
Ever thought you'd get to experience the smell of ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra's hair, or the scent (气味) of the sun? Visitors to the Reg Vardy Gallery will soon be able to do just that．
The gallery, at Sunderland University, England, is holding a new exhibition, If There Ever Was．It focuses on scent rather than sight．高.考.资.源.网
The innovative (创新的) idea is the brainchild of curator (馆长) Robert Blackson．His inspiration came from reading the book Fast Food Nation．The book discussed the use of artificial chemicals to flavor things such as milkshakes, making them smell and taste like strawberries, when they're not actually made from them．
A smell can often conjure up (召唤) memories such as school dinners or a childhood holiday by the sea, but the smells on display, will allow visitors to experience smells their noses won't have been able to pick out before．
"There's a whole variety of different smells, including some extinct (灭绝) flowers," explains Blackson．"Some have been gone for hundreds of years．"
One extraordinary fragrance (香气) is the aftermath (灾难的后果) of the first atomic bomb, dropped on Japan on August 6, 1945．
There is also the smell of Cleopatra's hair, based on incense (熏香) that was popular among ancient Egyptians．
The Soviet Mir space station, which burnt up in the atmosphere in 2001, smells of charred (烧焦的) material (the space station caught fire)．
Among the stranger smells is the "surface of the sun"．
"It is hard to sum up．It is an atmospheric smell, like walking into a room when the sun has been pouring in," says Blackson．"It gives a freshness, a sun kissed feel with a bit of metal．If you can say something smells hot, this is it．"
A team of 11, including perfume (香水) designers, have been working on recreating the smells for the exhibition．James Wong, a botanist at Botanic Gardens Conservation International, UK, helped in the recreation of the smells of four extinct flowering plants．
He did this by closely linking the extinct flowers with the smells of existing ones．With the help of historical reports of how the extinct flowers smelled, he was able to remix the aromas (芳香)．
The exhibition runs until June 6．Fourteen extinct and impossible smells are on display．
92．What might be the best title of the passage?
A．The Reg Vardy Gallery
B．Egyptian queen Cleopatra's hair
C．A visit to a new exhibition
D．The scents of ancient Egypt
93．Visitors can enjoy all of the following scents at the Reg Vardy Gallery EXCEPT ______．
A．the scent of ancient Egyptian king Cleopatra's hair
B．the smells of charred material of the Soviet Mir space station
C．the scent of having a childhood vacation by the sea
D．the smell of the aftermath of the first atomic bomb dropped on Japan ．
94．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Visitors go to Reg Vardy Gallery to enjoy beautiful sights．
B．James Wong managed to remix the aromas by referring to some historical reports．
C．The exhibition will last until July 6．
D．The scents visitors will smell are found in the tomb of the ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra．
95．In which session are you likely to read the passage in a newspaper?
A．Science B．Education C．Entertainment D．Economy

Blood Drive at Civic Center
The local university blood center had a blood drive today at the Civic Center auditorium．Almost 300 people showed up, but about 50 were turned away for various medical reasons．Fifty others left because the lines were moving so slowly．The event concluded at 6 pm, three hours after the scheduled close．It was a long day for everyone-administrators, nurses, and donors．But there were plenty of chairs and tables, and many people brought their own books, magazines, or newspapers．
The first thing the donors had to do, of course , was fill out the donor registration and screening form．When they finished filling out the form, they waited until a nurse called them to her desk．The average adult body contains 8 to 12 pints of blood．Donors can give one pint at a time．It takes your body 2 to 4 weeks to replace this amount．Most donors filled up the pint bag within 5 to 10 minutes．高.考.资.源.网
Before leaving, the donors received a sheet of instructions including: Do not lift any heavy objects for 12 hours．Leave your pressure bandage on for 2~3 hours．Do not smoke for at least 30 minutes．Avoid alcohol for the rest of the day．Do not do any laborious activity for 24 hours．
“I wish I could hug and kiss all the volunteers that are here today,” said Martha, the blood center donor recruiter．“Many donors underestimate the importance of what they’re doing．They think it is no big deal, but it is a big deal．Their blood is actually saving lives, helping other people to live, which will lead to a more harmonious society．We cannot thank them enough for that, nor can the recipients．”

When the well-known pianist Kong Xiangdong first made it big in the city in the early 1990s, he was called the "piano prince．" His smart looks and passionate music won the hearts of many women fans．
Now the "prince" has a new look - with hair cut off．"It is very environmentally friendly," Kong said, smiling．"I never need to use shampoo or a hair dryer!"
The real reason for the change is that Kong started to lose his hair．From an ordinary piano student to an internationally famous musician, the 38-year-old Shanghainese pianist is now president of a piano school that has accepted more than 20,000 students during the past nine years．
Kong pointed out a common mistake for parents who were eager for their children to learn piano．"Don''t push your children to learn the instrument as a career unless the child feels he couldn''t live without it," Kong said．He guesses that Shanghai has hundreds of thousands of children studying the piano seriously．
Perhaps strangely for the president of a piano school, he adds: "Learning the piano is so hard -- it means a child has almost no childhood． "
