第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的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
The summer of 2011 has been a great year for sea turtles along the coast of North and South Carolina. The Department of Natural Resources have reported 3,889 nests have been spotted in South Carolina alone, with thousands more in North Carolina.
My sister-in-law is a loggerhead (蠵龟) fan and spends many hours patrolling (巡视) the turtle nests. Many nights, she and her fellow volunteers spend time locating and protecting the nests. Her greatest joy is watching the baby turtles hatch and crawl (爬行) safely to the sea. On their journey, the babies face many obstacles in their path, such as hungry birds or holes dug in the sand. Lights from beach houses also disturb their trip to the sea. It is a known fact that the turtle babies are attracted to light and sometimes go the wrong way. My sister-in-law will actually stand in the shallow water, with a flashlight, to help the baby loggerheads crawl in the right direction.
Adult loggerheads can weigh as much as 400 pounds and have a shell up to 3.5 feet long. The adult female will trek (跋涉) from the ocean about 3 to 6 times per season and deposit her eggs in the sand. She picks a spot, usually near the dunes (沙丘) and digs a hole. Then she deposits 100 to 125 golf ball sized eggs in the sand. Finally she travels back to the ocean, as her job is done.
Besides helping the turtles hatch, the turtle patrols protect the nests with ropes and signs and there is a fine for disturbing sea turtles or their nests. The loggerhead is protected under the US Federal Endangered Species Act. The nesting season usually ends in mid-August, but due to an increase in turtle activity, the season may last until early October. Experts don’t know why there have been more nests this year, but volunteers like to think it has to do with their dedication to the sea turtles.
56. After hatching, baby turtles are supposed to go to ______ at last.
A. the big sea B. bright places C. shallow waters D. the dunes
57. According to the author, the adult female turtle ______.
A. lays her eggs on the same spot every year
B. goes ashore at least 12 times a year
C. deposits her eggs near sand dunes in the sea
D. lays her eggs in the sand near sand dunes
58. Why do the volunteers use ropes and signs around the nests?
A. To help the baby turtles hatch quickly.
B. To prevent people disturbing the nests.
C. To help female turtles lay more eggs safely.
D. To stop people from watching the crawling turtles.
59. The underlined word “dedication” has the closest meaning to “______”.
A. donation B. connection C. devotion D. attitude
B
Don’t talk to me; I’m busy with my iPhone
Riding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other. In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times. That’s not rudeness—people are just too busy to bother looking.
Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection, nor are they reading a book.. New technology has replaced quiet habits. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book.
Apple must earn a fortune from London muters(乘车上下班的人). Since the launch(发行) of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000—yes, that’s 40,000—“apps” (programs downloaded for the iPhone) have been designed.
muters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers. One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks. Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone. You can then write in the “ steam” on your phone screen.
For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be another choice. It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music—iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.
And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied. Then perhaps you would prefer a film. The development of palm DVD technology means many muters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work. With all this entertainments, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train.
60. People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because they are busy___.
A. going to work B. reading books
C. playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films.
D. thinking private things
61. Those who like war games can download ___to their iPhones.
A. Tube Exits B. iShoot C. ISteam D. iPod
62. The underlined word “occupied” in the last paragraph probably means____.
A. delighted B. controlled C. amused D. busy
63. The article tells us that___.
A. technology is changing the way London muters spend their traveling time
B. London muters are unfriendly to strangers
C. Apple has earned a lo of money from selling 40,000 iPhones
D. with all the new time-fillers, London muters often forget to get off the train
C
A waterfall-climbing fish in Hawaii uses the same muscles (肌肉) to both rise and feed, researchers have discovered. Scientists looked at the Nopoli rock-climbing goby (虾虎鱼), also known in Hawaiian as o’opu nopoli. This plant-eating fish is found throughout Hawaii, and was once greatly relished (享受) as food, apparently being a favorite among priests (教士).
Many gobies can inch their way up waterfalls with the aid of a sucker (吸盘) on their bellies. The Nopoli rock-climbing goby, on the other hand, can climb waterfalls as tall as 330 feet (100 meters) with the aid of a second mouth sucker, which develops after their mouthparts move from a forward-facing position to under the body during a two-day-long development into adulthood.
“For a human to go the equivalent distance based on body size, it’d be like doing a marathon, some 26 miles (42 kilometers) long, except climbing up a vertical cliff-face against rushing water,” said researcher Richard Blob, an evolutionary scientist at Clemson University in South Carolina.
The goby, which can grow up to 7 inches (18 centimeters) long as an adult, feeds by sticking the tip of its upper jaw against rock to take food off surfaces. This behavior is quite different from other Hawaiian gobies, which feed by sucking food from the water. Given the apparent similarity of the climbing and feeding behaviors of the S. stimpsoni species, researchers thought one might have developed from the other.
The scientists detailed their findings online Friday in the journal PLOS ONE. They will also present their findings on Sunday at the Society for Integrative and parative Biology annual meeting in San Francisco.
64. What can we learn about the Nopoli goby?
A. It is rare and endangered. B. It usually lives among rocks.
C. It used to be eaten by priests. D. It climbs onto a waterfall to relax.
65. The Nopoli goby is different from other gobies for ______.
A. its short life B. its mouth sucker C. its living areas D. its big size
66. One of the Nopoli goby’s unique behaviors is that ______.
A. it seldom eats plants B. it finds food from water
C. it often climbs waterfalls D. it gets food from rock surfaces
67. It can be inferred from the text that ______.
A. the Nopoli goby can reproduce its lost suckers
B. the Nopoli goby and S. stimpsoni are of one species
C. an adult Nopoli looks different from a small one
D. scientists first presented their findings in San Francisco
D
Hurricane Irene caused a frightening landscape in West Hartford, Vermont. The White River jumped its banks and shipping containers, gas bottles, and even entire trucks were spotted being washed down the river near Patriots’ Bridge.
Patti and Scott Holmes had a special connection to the flood zone. Their son, Jeffery Holmes, was one of three soldiers honored on a monument in a memorial garden next to the bridge. Jeffery died on Thanksgiving Day 2004 during a war. Patti took some fort knowing that her son had died instantly, serving the military (军队) he wanted to join since he was nine years old.
The August hurricane spared Patti and Scott’s home. Patti didn’t realize how bad the situation had been at the monument site until one of Jeff’s friends sent a photo the next day. “When I opened it, I just started crying,” she said. All the flowers that volunteers lovingly tended were gone. The monument had toppled (倒塌) off its concrete base and was likely ruined. Alone at her desk, Patti wept for the fun-loving blue-eyed son who didn’t live to see his 21st birthday, the boy she still wrote on Christmas and birthdays. Now another piece of him had slipped away.
Scott drove to the bridge that night to see exactly what had happened but was forced to turn back because the flooding had destroyed roads and the bridge. Who knows how the angry waters had damaged the monument?
But when Patti and Scott were finally able to get there later in the week, they were greeted with an extraordinary sight. Local residents had returned the monument to its proper place, unharmed. “I didn’t see a scratch, not even on top of it,” Patti said in joy and relief.
68. The monument was set up ______.
A. to honor three dead soldiers B. to respect the local residents
C. to protect the bridge D. to decorate the garden
69. Why did Patti cry when she opened the photo?
A. Her home was ruined in the flood. B. The memorial garden was destroyed.
C. She couldn’t visit the monument anymore. D. She couldn’t celebrate her son’s birthday.
70. What does the part “another piece” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The photo.
