三．阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） A Virginia is set to begin enforcing the toughest drunken-driving punishment, one that will require thousands of first-time offenders¬¬—whether they were highly drunk or slightly over the limit – to install (安装) in their cars blood-alcohol testing devices that can lock the ignition. The devices work like this－A driver must blow into a blood alcohol device linked to the car’s ignition. If the result is higher than the legal limit, the car will not start. The device also requires random “rolling retests” once the driver is on the road. The measure has caused a debate between groups battling drunken driving and those representing offenders. Such groups as Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Washington Regional Alcohol Program say that Virginia’s 274 alcohol-related road deaths and more than 5,500 injuries in 2010 remained unacceptably high despite years of cracking down on drunken driving. Ignition interlock devices, they say, reduce repeat offenses. But some public defenders and lawyers argue that the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders at the legal blood alcohol limit of 0.08, and that the court system will be burdened by more cases going to trial and lower-income drivers will be affected by the fees. Del. Sal R. laquinto, who sponsored the bill, had a simple reply for concerns about the costs of the interlock devices: “How much does a life cost?” “Blowing into a tube for six months, you will remember that, ” Iaquinto said, “ and you are not likely to offend again. ” 56．The ignition probably refers to the part in a car where ______. A．the alarm goes off B．the car is fueled C．the key is placed D．the engine starts 57．Who are required to install the blood-alcohol devices according to the current law? A．The repeat drunken-driving offenders. B．The first time drunken-driving offenders. C．Drivers whose blood alcohol level is below 0.15. D．The drivers who are not able to pay offence fees. 58．Some groups support the new law because ______. A．the government can be financed to build roads B．some traffic deaths and injuries may be avoided C．lower-income drivers will not afford to drink again D．the court system is forced to work more effectively 59．The debate aroused by the measure suggests that ______. A．justice has long arms B．punishment is the key to all C．no law is absolutely perfect D．prevention i s better than cure
B Louis Armstrong had two famous nicknames．Some people called him Bagamo．They said his mouth looked like a large bag． Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music． Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians．Jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth．Armstrong often said, "Jazz and I grew up together．" Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短号) at a boy's home．In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician．He played in parades, clubs, and on the steamboats that traveled on the Mississippi River．At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians．Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal． In 1922 he went to Chicago．There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins．From then until the end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went．Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song． His cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, "Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over．" He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known and most admired people in the world．His death, on July 6, 1971, was headline news around the world． 60．Armstrong was called Pops because he ． A．looked like a musician B．was a musician of much influence C．showed an interest in music D．traveled to play modern music 61．Which statement about Armstrong is true? A．His tale begins in New Orleans． B．He was born before jazz was invented． C．His music was popular with his listeners． D．He learned popular music at a boy's home． 62．Which would be the best title for the text? A．The Invention of the Jazz Music B．The Father of the Jazz Style C．The Making of a Musician D．The Spread of Popular Music C Last week Adele's second album, 21, sold 257,000 copies in the UK, a sales figure that would look incredible as an opening sales week for any album by any global superstar. The fact that the album was celebrating its 10th week at No.1, and that each of the previous nine weeks it had sold over 100,000 copies, makes what Adele has achieved look miraculous. The last female singer to spend that long at No.1 in the UK was Madonna in 1990 with her greatest hits compilation, The Immaculate Collection. For Adele, the success of 21 is part of a perfect storm of talent, timing and a connection that went beyond gender, age and credibility. But what does it say about the state of the music industry? Does Adele's success signal a return to the MOR(适合大众口味的音乐) musical depression, when the likes of James Blunt dominated the charts? Her success may well lead to a great many similar acts aiming for an MOR audience, but that's more the fault of an industry desperate to recreate any kind of success by creating poor copies until the world shouts "stop now". What seems to have set Adele apart is her apparent ordinariness, besides that incredible voice. While Gaga parades around in a dress made of meat and Beyonce orbits a world out of touch to the majority of most human beings, Adele's chain-smoking, girl-you'd-like-to-go-to-the-pub-with persona stands out. Even for a British act, her ordinariness goes against trend, with fellow Jessie J adopting a very American habit of over-emoting, talking about a "journey" and making the idea of being a pop star seem fairly difficult. It's this universality and broad appeal that's helped her translate talent into sal es. While the first single from 21, Rolling in the Deep, appealed to Radio 1 listeners and bloggers, the second single, Someone Like You, is so successful that silenced the grand O2 Arena during this year's Brit Awards. The press can write pages and pages in that there's enough of a connection of musicians – Rick Rubin worked on the album, there's a cover of the Cure, Mumford & Sons were an influence – while the gossip magazines have been excited by the fact that the album is one long break-up record, eager to find the ex. 63．Adele’s achievement seems unbelievable for the reason that ____________. A. the sales of her second album achieved an incredible success last week in the UK B. her second album ranked first in a row with the incredible average sales per week C. Madonna was the last female singer in the UK to stay at No. 1 as long as she did D. she is such an ordinary singer with so fascinating a voice in the music industry 64．According to the author, the success of Adele’s second album __________________. A. to a large extent depends on her apparent talent for music B. is because of her extraordinariness and the wonderful voice C. lies in gift, timing and something beyond sex, age and trust D. is largely due to the state of the music industry currently 65．Compared with other female pop stars, what does the author think of Adele? A. She stands out in a totally different way from Gaga and Beyonce. B. She and Madonna are contemporary megastars in music. C. Only she and Madonna spent that long at No.1 in t he UK. D. Jessie J and she both have an American habit of expressin g themselves. 66．What helped Adele successfully turned her gift of singing into sales? A. Her musical talent. B. The joint work of musicians in the album. C. Her incredible voice. D. Her universality and broad appeal. 67．The author thinks that the current musical trend in the UK is _______________. A. satisfying B. disappointing C. dangerous D. desperate D In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are th eir pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射) so that they won’t carry diseases. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of stores. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal , you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it. People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone. 68．The passage mainly talks about ______. A. how to keep diseases from pets B. Canadians have pets as friends C. how to take good care of pets D. life of the old in Canada 69．Pets are given injections in animal hospitals ______. A. in order to keep them safe B. after being taken home C. because they carry diseases D. because they are sick 70．The word “bird feeder” in the second paragraph probably means ______. A. a person who gives food to birds B. a container that has food for birds C. something that catches birds D. an animal that eats birds

Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. They care just as much as girls do about their body image. Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. 71 You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections. 7 2 Here are some ideas: Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting. 73 Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques(体形)don’t just happen. 74 A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits. Respect your body! Practising good habits－regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes and so on－can help you build a positive body image. 75 Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit(智慧), and all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over. A. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you’re good at. B. Be yourself. C. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look. D. Just explore talents that you feel good about. E.
