第四部分、阅读理解： （共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Everyone has got two personalities – the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn (顽固的) ,but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep on curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.
61. According to the writer, you naturally show your secret and real personality _______.
A. only in a normal night B. only when you go to sleep
C. only when you refuse to show yourself to the world
D. only when you change sleeping position
62. Maybe you don’t want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up. Why?
A. He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.
B. He or she is rarely ready to help you.
C. He or she prefers staying at home to going out.
D. He or she wouldn’t like to get help from you.
63. It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because ______
A. he or she always shows sympathy for people
B. he or she is confident, but not stubborn
C. he or she has more strengths than weakness
D. he or she often considers annoying people
B
Chinese are very generous (慷慨) when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet（芭蕾舞）, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence (自信).
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse（唤起） his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
64. Parents in China, according to this passage, _______.
A. are too strict with their children
B. are too rich to educate their children
C. have some problems in educating their children correctly
D. are too poor to educate their children
65. The writer of the passage does not seem to be satisfied with ______.
A. the parents’ ideas of educating their children B. the education system
C. children’s skills D. children’s hobbies
66. Doing some cooking at home helps children ______.
A. learn how to serve their parents
B. learn how to become strong and fat
C. benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future
D. make their parents believe that they are clever
67. According to the last paragraph we can conclude that ______.
A. broken radios and television sets are useful
B. one’s curiosity may be useful for his later life
C. an engineer must fix many broken radios
D. a good student should spend much time repairing radios

When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship（奖学金）and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, “Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story”, shown in late April.
Liz Murray, a 22-year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted（吸毒）parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.
Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets. “What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,” she wrote in her book Breaking Night.
She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that “next to nothing could hold me down”. She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. “I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time.”
Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is “as simple as making a decision”.
68. In which order did the following things happen to Liz?
a. Her mother died of AIDS.
b. She worked at a petrol station.
c. She got admitted into Harvard.
d. The movie about her life was put on.
e. She had trouble finding a place to sleep.
A. b, a, e, c, d B. a, b, c, e, d C. e, d, b, a, c D. b, e, a, d, c
69. The main idea of the passage is ________.
A. how Liz managed to enter Harvard University
B. what a hard time Liz had in her childhood
C. why Liz loved her parents so much
D. how Liz struggled to change her life
70. What actually made her go towards her goal?
A. Envy and encouragement. B. Willpower and determination.
C. Decisions and understanding. D. Love and respect for her parents.
71. When she wrote “What drove me to live on...I had only experienced a small part of the society”, she meant that ________.
A. she had little experience of social life B. she could hardly understand the society
C. she would do something for her own life
D. she needed to travel more around the world
D
Wind—even the slightest of winds can prevent frost (霜冻).That’s because wind is like a spoon in your cup of tea: it stirs （搅起）things down and brings down a lot of warm air that often floats just above housetops and trees .
It may seem strange , but ice itself sometimes can protect crops from frost . Some growers actually spray their crops with water on a freezing night . Water freezes quickly on plants and then a strange thing happens . As long as ice stays wet , it can’t get colder than 32°F, a temperaure many plants can stand . By continual spraying water on the ice , the growers keep it from going below 32 degrees even if the air is much colder . This may defeat frost and saves plants .
This strange kind of “ice blanket” works only on plants that are strong enough to stand the weight of frozen spray . This is used even to protect banana plants on some Central American farms .
72．If the ice became entirely frozen and dry , suppose what might happen .
A．The plants might be frozen to death . B．The plants might benefit from it .
C．It might save the plants . D．It might make the plants grow slowly .
73．Ice can save plants rather than destroy them on condition that they are .
A．sprayed regularly B．quickly frozen C．not strong enough D．used to frost
74．The best title would be .
A．Frost Saves crops B．Ice Battle C．Ice Can Be Nice D．Ice Is Good
75．In which of the following sentences “stand” has the same meaning as in the last paragraph ?
A．He could hardly stand . B．This house stands the test of time .
C．The train stood for an hour . D．He stands in terrible danger .
