第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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
It’s not entirely true that kids learn a second language easily, but it’s still the best time to learn. Babies are basically equipped to hear and distinguish every possible language and dialect, but once they reach 6 months old, they begin to focus on the particular sounds that exist in the languages that they’re exposed to. In this way, kids will naturally and automatically be bilingual（双语的）if they hear multiple languages on a daily basis when they are still babies.
One lady told me of her son who grew up in a very multi-cultural community working at a resort. He would naturally and easily switch from Dutch to French, to Italian, to German or English depending on who he was talking to. Of course that’s an extreme case, but it’s completely possible and easy.
It’s not true that they will get mixed up by learning multiple languages. They may mix them up purposely simply because certain words or expressions are easier, but they won’t develop any permanent language disabilities. Quite the contrary, bilingual children have been shown to be as much as a year more advanced in learning ability development for 2 and 3 years olds.
Some kids who simply aren’t gifted at learning languages, just as some aren’t gifted at sports or music, will find it difficult to continue schooling in a foreign language. In that case, it may be better not to continue with the foreign language school. Still, it will have been an excellent opportunity for Grade one. Perhaps for Grade Two you could try a bilingual school.
In any case, learning even a small amount of a foreign language, maintaining the ability to
hear and pronounce it by listening to music and movies will keep a foundation for later learning. Knowing a second language can be a great benefit for gaining employment.
56．What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A．It’s difficult for kids to learn a second language.
B．Kids are able to learn multiple languages.
C．Kids should be exposed to the native language.
D．Kids enjoy all kinds of different dialects.
57．What did the lady tell us about her son?
A．He could speak five kinds of languages.
B．He was learning some different languages.
C．He could talk with many people at the same time.
D．He was working in a multi-community.
58．In which way can learning multiple languages benefit kids according to the text?
A．Mixing up different languages.
B．Distinguish different dialects.
C．Developing learning ability.
D．Developing language disabilities.
59．What should you do if your kids are not good at learning language?
A．Ask them to turn to sports or music.
B．Encourage them to remain in Grade One.
C．Let them remain in the foreign language school.
D．Send them to a bilingual school later.
B
Parking has long been a major headache for drivers in Shanghai. The Transportation ’s parking system. There are one million cars on the road in Shanghai but only enough public parking spaces to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles. It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park.
The city is seeing a rise in private car owners. In March, the city sent out 2,000 private car licenses (牌照)，the highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month. And prices rose to 14,600 yuan, 500 more than in February. Industry experts say this suggests that local people have a strong,
active interest in buying cars.
By the year 2020, the number of automobiles in Shanghai will probably reach two million. If one parking lot is for each car, then a lot of new parking space should be built for these vehicles.
Downtown Shanghai is most short of parking spaces. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in downtown areas is not practical and doesn’t provide an ideal solution（解决办法）．The idea of a ―Park & Ride ‖ system has been suggested. This means that drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nearby subway or bus stations and ride public transport to go downtown. Based on this idea, the city will limit the number of parking lots in downtown areas and demand higher parking fees but build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops.
( )60. The underlined phrase ―mapping out‖ (in Paragraph 1) means _________.
A. making B. arguing C. controlling D. inspiring
( )61. About ________ drivers can find places to park their cars in Shanghai now.
A. 850,000 B. 1,000,000 C. 150,000 D. 2,000,000
( )62. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A. The city sent out more private licenses in February.
B. Less and less people bought cars in March.
C. The city issued less private licenses in March.
D. More and more people are going to buy cars.
( )63. According to the idea of a ―Park & Ride ‖ system, the city will___________.
A. issue more private car licenses B. build more parking lots near bus stops
C. encourage people to buy more cars D. build more parking areas in downtown
C
What do you need to do to become happier in life? Do you need a new house? How about a new car or a bigger salary? How can you brighten your mood? What will lift your spirits? In fact, there are many easy things you can do to raise your state of health.
Psychologists tell us that feeling joyful, lighthearted, and excited about life doesn’t require major soul searching or a large investment of time or money.

laziness is harmful to your physical and mental health. Hum（哼）or sing your favorite tune. A shift in brain chemicals will reduce stress and lift your spirits.
Dream yourself into happiness. Research reveals that by depriving yourself of at least seven hours of sleep each night could rob you of happiness. Less sleep means that you dream less.
Sleep experts tell us that when your brain has fewer hours of sleep, the REM phase of sleep leaves little time to sort through the day’s emotions. As a result, you easily wake yup and feel terrible all day. So, treat yourself to a good night’s rest. Serve yourself by lifting up others. You will find great joy in making others feel good.

Not all vegetables need lots of sunshine. Mark Hoffman and his wife, Guia, own a bed –and –breakfast guesthouse in rural Kempton, Illinois. They often serve their guests produce fresh from
the garden.
The Hoffmans have been growing food and flowers for twenty-six years. For almost ten of those years, Mr. Hoffman has been experimenting and working with shade plantings. He says visitors to his website Mark Hoffman: “The bottom line here is that most plants will produce more in full sun. But if you do not have full sun, there are other options.”
For example, he grows tomatoes near oak trees. Oak trees can produce a lot of shade. But Mr. Hoffman says his tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours a day of direct sunshine, especially morning sun.
Not only does this go against the traditional advice that tomatoes need six, eight, even
twelve hours a day of full sun. It also shows how plants and tree roots can share nutrients and water.
Mr. Hoffman also planted asparagus（芦笋）outer limit of the branches. So when it rains, all the rain drips down right on the asparagus.
Mr. Hoffman says plants with wider leaves seem to do better in shady environments. He also found that his potatoes did better in partial shade than in full sun.
Moving them out of the sun helped control an insect problem. Mr. Hoffman does not use pesticides. Instead, he planted the potatoes at the drip line, especially on the east side of the tree.
Time of day. Brightness of the sun. Shadows from trees, walls and buildings. These all influence how much sunlight falls, or does not fall, on plants.
68．The example in the fourth paragraph is to prove _________.
A．most plants will only grow well in full sun
B．most of the plants will produce more in full sun
C．some plants can grow well even if there is no full sun
D．tomato plants will not grow well without enough sun
69．The underlined expression“at its drip line”in the passage probably means _______.
A．under the branches
B．below the outer limit of the branches D．in the full sunshine C．near the roots of the tree
70．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．The Conditions of the Tomato
B．Gardening: Vegetables Made in the Shade
C．A Special Bed-and –breakfast Guesthouse
D．Introduction to the Website — 第二卷（共三部分，满分35分）
第一部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
One’s character is highly influenced by the development of attitude and behavior. The basic rule governing attitude change is the preference of consistency.
People expect all things in their mind to agree with each other. They expect that all good things should assemble（聚集）together against all the bad things, which should also assemble together. When two items in your mind disagree, dissonance（不和谐）occurs. The mind does not want to be in a state of dissonance, so something must happen to settle this.
An example of a state of dissonance is when a friend dislikes a movie that you like. The friend is a good thing in your mind, and so is the movie. But the two good things are not associated because your friend does not like the movie, and your mind is in a state of dissonance.
A simple resolution is a change in opinion or behavior toward one of the items, or to change the bond between them into a positive one. This means that if you change your opinion of your friend, or you change your mind about the movie and no longer like it, the dissonance will be resolved It will also be resolved if your friend changes his or her opinion of the movie.
These are simplistic examples. In actual fact, attitudes and opinions do not change as easily as this, and change in different magnitudes（量），depending on the strength of the bond between items. For example, if you and your friend had known each other for a long time, chances are that there is a very strong positive bond between you, and it would not change as much as the bond between you and the movie. Or perhaps the bond between you and your friend would change in a different way. Then you would still like your friend, but your perception（看法）of him or her may change.
Dissonance can also occur between a person’s attitude and behavior. If a person acts in a way that does not agree with his or her attitude, then an attempt will be made to regain balance. This
means that he or she will either correct the behavior and try to make some improvements, or change his or her attitude and come to accept that type of behavior. He or she may also attempt to excuse their behavior and blame it on a temporary small error brought about by a situation that required him or her to act out in such a way for a greater good or lesser evil.
The dissonance between attitude and behavior explains why a person that continues to behave against his or her morals（行为的准则）will find that the morals become weaker because his or her attitude toward that behavior is no longer strongly opposed to it, which finally leads to the changes in his or her character.

作文：
The idea of sustainable development has been accepted by the world. How to keep sustainable development is a big problem facing our planet.
The present situation is worrying. First, natural resources are beconing less than before. Second, as some people are not aware of the importance of the environmental protection, the problem with it remain extremely serious to some degree. Besides, the gap between the rich and the poor has the tendency to become wider and wider.
To our great joy, many countries have taken actions. On the one hand, they have made relevant laws and regulations and put large amounts of money to the environmental protection. On the other hand, popularized educational as well as international cooperation is being carried out.
As for myself, I should take the responsibility to devote myself to sustainable development, or our future and the lives of our children and our grandchildren will be in danger.
