第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（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、D中，选出最佳选项。
A
The black and white bird came ashore on a beach in the south of the North Island nearly 4,000 miles away from its usual habitat. The creature’s astonishing journey was witnessed by a woman walking her dog as the two-foot bird waddled out of the water in front of her. She said, “It was out of this world to see it. It was this glistening white thing standing up on the sand and I thought I was seeing things.” The tale of the lost penguin is similar to the 2006 children’s film Happy Feet, in which a young penguin finds himself far from home during a voyage of discovery.
Conservationists believe it has completed an incredible journey for such a young bird — it is estimated to be around 10 months old. The most likely explanation for its appearance in New Zealand is the hunt for food. Experts said it may also have rested on an ice floe (浮冰) during its travels and was carried north for a great distance before it made a swim for dry land. Colin Miskelly, a curator of New Zealand Museum, said, “They can spend months at a time in the ocean and come ashore only to moult (脱毛,换毛)or rest.” Mr. Miskelly said the brave bird would have to find its way back south soon if it was going to survive. He said, “It is probably hot and thirsty and has been eating wet sand.” “It doesn’t realize that the sand isn’t going to melt inside it because they typically eat snow — their only liquid.”
New Zealand residents have been warned to give the bird a wide berth — it can inflict (予以) painful bites if threatened.
56. Which of the following is True of Paragraph 1?
A. A young penguin found himself far from home during a voyage of moulting.
B. A creature’s astonishing journey was incredible in the north of the North Island.
C. A woman witnessed a 2 feet bird waddled in the children’s film while walking her dog.
D. A penguin came ashore on a beach thousands of miles away from its habitate.
57. Conservationists tend to explain that____________.
A. the young bird has completed a pleasant journey of 4,000 thousand miles
B. the young bird’s appearance in New Zealand is due to its hunt for food and delay of returning
C. the young bird comes ashore in New Zealand only to moult or rest during its voyage
D. the young bird is certain to be over 10 months old when it appears on a beach
58. What do we know about the penguin according to Mr. Miskelly?
A. The penguin could spend months at a time in the ocean and came ashore only to have young ones.
B. The young bird might have slept on an ice floe and could not swim for dry land.
C. The young penguin didn’t realize the sand wasn’t going to melt inside it like snow it eats.
D. The brave bird would have to find its way back north soon if it was going to survive.
59. What does the underlined part mean in the last sentence?
A. The residents should keep well away from it when they want to watch the young penguin.
B. Some people do not realize the danger of the young bird and they are expected to touch it.
C. New Zealand residents want to keep the young bird but it wants to leave the shore.
D. If the local people threatened the young bird, it would do harm to other birds nearby. .
B
The time of year a baby is born can shape what profession they will embark on (从事) in later life, a new study has suggested. Being born in a certain month appears to indicate the statistical likelihood of what job a person will end up with, the study by the Office for National Statistics found. Researchers have uncovered that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything from intelligence to length of life.
A child born December is more likely to become a dentist while someone whose birthday falls in January will tend to a debt collector, they found. A February birth appears to increase the chances of being an artist while March babies appear to go on to become pilots. Meanwhile, April and May are said to have a fairly even spread of professions, births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a high-earning football player, doctor or dentist.
The study was derived (推导出) by researchers who analyzed the birth months of people in 19 separate occupations using information from the last census, the Daily Mail reported. Although these trends may be difficult to explain, correlations (关联) between birth months and specific health problems have a scientific basis. Spring babies are at greater risks of illnesses including schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, asthma and autism. They may also be less clever than classmates born in other parts of the year.
60. What is the main idea of this passage?
A.The year when a baby is born may not be associated with the job he or she will end up with.
B. Researchers have found the birth month could affect both intelligence and length of life.
C. The birth time can give signs of future development of what professions people will start.
D. The study indicates there are correlations between birth months and some terrible risks.
61. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. A child born in December is more likely to become an artist while someone born in January will tend to be a dent
