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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like : “If you live each

day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an

impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the

mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life,

would I want to do what I am about to do today?”

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only

what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. It clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later the doctor got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Your is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kin d you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you wee so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. 56．According to the passage, what makes the author change himself when making a big choice?

A．Reading a quote in the morning

B．Reminding himself that he’ll be dead soon

C．The author was diagnosed with cancer

D．The Whole Earth Catalog

57．Why did the doctor start crying when they viewed the cells under a microscope?

A．Because the author is somebody.

B．Because the author’s illness is incurable.

C．Because the cancer can be cured with surgery.

D．Because it turned out to be a very rare from of pancreatic cancer.

58．What’s the author’s attitude towards the death?

A．optimistic B．pessimistic C．indifferent D．overjoyed 59．By saying “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.”, what does the author really mean?

A．Stay foolish and hungry or you will be cheated.

B．Stay foolish and hungry and you will be a wise man.

C．Have the courage to follow your hear and intuition

D．Never be satisfied and always hungry for success and achievements.

B

Smoking is a harmful habit and makes one addicted once they start doing it. however, what

are the reasons why people still continue to smoke? These people know the harmful and if long term, even life threatening effects of smoking but it seems nobody heeds the warning.

The number of teenagers smoking today has increased tremendously. Their parents do their best to stop them from starting the habit, however, most of them are unsuccessful. Teenagers experience a feeling of isolation. It is the time that they are confused which role to take in society. Most of them usually have identity crisis at this age and smoking makes them feel better. Once they start smoking, they soon love the feeling of contentment it brings them. Thus, they continue doing it. Peer pressure is also a great factor to this. A teenager would like to belong to a group. Being alone and no friends when you are a teenager is hard. Having some people to support you and accompany you in any social activity feels great. At this stage, teenagers feel their parents don’t understand them. Everything that their parents tell them and do is against their will. They still can’t understand all the things their parents are doing for them which are for their own good. Those who are non-smokers are often convinced by smokers to engage in this activity. Usually, they would smoke and drink overnight. Teenag ers feel that if they won’t join the group, they would lose their friends and will be left alone in which they don’t want to happen. This is the reason why they continue smoking to be accepted by them. Later in life when they finally decide to stop, it becomes hard as they are already addicted to it.

There are also some people who smoke because of the nature of their jobs. Those who work in a very cold area or at sea, smoke to keep their bodies warm. At this time, smoking brings them good benefits. Call center agents and those who work at night love drinking their favorite cup of coffee and smoking at the same time while waiting for their shift at work. This is to keep them awake and attentive to answering their clients and finishing their assigned task. However, they don’t consider the long term ill effects of smoking. Smoking is addictive.

Smokers are also those who are experiencing feelings of depression. They find it hard to face the challenges life brings most especially if their problems are too hard to handle. They feel that what can make them feel better is by smoking and drinking. Yes, it is true that smoking could make them feel better but it is just a temporary feeling of relief.

60．What’s the function of the first paragraph?

A．to give a summary. B．to make an introduction.

C．to give an account. D．to lead the following by raising a question.

61．The underlined word “heeds” in Pargraph1 most probably means .

A．pay attention to B．glance at C．explain D．understand 62．According to this passage, which of the following can’t contribute to people’s smoking?

A．Jobs B．Fellows pressure

C．Feelings of loneliness D．Feeling of depression

63．The best title for this passage is .

A．Smoking, a Harmful Habit

B．How People Like Smoking

C．Reasons Why People quit smoking

D．Reasons Why People Find Relief in Smoking

Treasure Island isn’t a true story, but the characters do seem to leap out of the pages alive, armed to the teeth and ready to go treasure hunting. But you will find, as you read this book, that although pirates can be murderous and treacherous（奸诈的）, they can also be cowardly, superstitious, and easily led. As it turns out, that is fortunate for Jim Hawkins.

It's a brilliant story. Billy Bones, a retired seaman, comes to live at the Admiral Benbow inn. Jim is just a boy, but he can see that Billy Bones is a nervous man, always on the look-out for strangers arriving at the inn. And well he might be nervous, because he carries with him in his battered old sea-chest a map drawn by Captain Flint himself giving the whereabouts of all Flint's buried treasure! Captain Flint! —the most feared pirate ever to roam the high seas.

Well, Flint is dead, but there are plenty of men who served with Captain Flint still alive who feel they have a fair claim to the treasure. The map, though, ends up in the possession of Jim Hawkins - (it's a near thing, read the book to see how that happens).

Jim tells the secret in the local doctor, who quickly join forces to acquire a ship and crew and provisions to sail for Treasure Island.

There's a famous scene where Jim, hiding in the apple barrel on deck, discovers that mutiny （叛乱）is planned. It's a bad moment. The numbers suggest that the pirates are going to have it all their own way. There are nineteen mutineers and seven honest men, including Jim.

And now, you will have to read the book for yourself. This is a fantastic tale of cheat, bravery and cowardice. I don't know how things would have turned out if it hadn't been for Jim Hawkins. For it is Jin who single-handedly steals the Hispaniola from under the very noses of the pirates and sails her round the island to a secret beaching place.

And do you know what happens to Long John Silver, the greatest double-crosser of them all? No? Well, don't expect me to tell you.

Don't be nervous of reading a 'classic'. I know it was published a long time ago, but that doesn't mean it is difficult to read. There is one piece of advice I will give, though. I don't think this book is ever out of print - there are hundreds of different copies around. If you can, choose a copy with large enough print to be able to read comfortably, and exciting illustrations. It makes all the difference.

Go ahead! Read the book. I think you'll love it.

Eatin g healthy doesn’t mean you need to break the bank．Here are tips on how to make your healthy

foods go far．

Modern technology allows us to grow crops in climates and at times they naturally would not thrive．However, the availability, price, and even flavor are usually best when fruits and veggies are grown at the right time．Stick to seasonal eating to avoid paving stupid prices on a pint（品脱）of strawberries in winter.

When you buy direct form producers, prices are significantly cheaper and you can be sure of freshness. Plus, you’re supporting people in your own community. To find a farmers’market nearby, visit LocalHarvest, org.

Grow your own tomatoes, beans, and potatoes at home. Radishes and rhubarb are among the easiest vegetables to grow. For more information on home gardening, see this article about how growing your own greens can save you money.

Shop only for all that you need (and not when you’re hungry-you’ll buy more) to prepare the meals you have in mind. Exception: Buy in bulk during sales, and prepare dishes you can freeze. You can also buy already frozen or canned items, which are kept longer and may be cheaper. Food should never go to waste, but check expiration dates before you eat to stay safe.

When fruits are getting too ripe, you can still use them for baking or making fruit juice with milk.
