第三部分:阅读理解(共 20 小题,每题 2 分,满分 40 分)
Su Hua is studying at Cambridge, UK. She has bought a bicycle and is worried about
security (安全). Her friend, Kate, found this article and sent it to her.
A
Introduction
A lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every
year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following
a few careful steps.
Basic Security
Do not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle
when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and
take them with you, for example lights and saddles (车座).
Locks
Get a good lock. There are many different types in the shops. Buy one that
has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop.
Marking
Security marking your bike can act a deterrent to a thief. It can also help
the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your
postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to
identify your bicycle.
Registration
There are a number of companies who will security mark your bicycle for you.
They will then put your registration number and personal details on their
computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to contact
you.
Finally
Keep a record of the bicycle yourself: its make, model and registration
number. You can even take a photograph of it. This will prove the bicycle
belongs to you.
56. Which part of the text gives you information on how to lock up your bicycle when
you leave it?
A. Locks.
C. Registration. D. Basic Security.
57. The underlined phrase “act as a deterrent to a thief” means ______.
B. Marking.
A. help you recognize your bike
B. help the police find your bicycle
C. stop someone stealing your bicycle
D. stop you worrying about your bike
58. The article advises you to keep a record of your bicycle _______.
A. in the bike shop and your computer
B. in the police station and a security company
C. in a security company and your university
D. by yourself and in a security company
59. The main purpose of this article is _________.
A. to tell you what to do if your bicycle is stolen
B. to suggest ways of keeping your bicycle safe
C. to give you advice on where to buy a good lock
D. to say why you shouldn’t keep your bicycle in a quiet place
B
Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a
term to describe the way many North Americans interact (互动) these days. The term
is “networked individualism”. This concept is not easy to understand because the
words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals (个体) and be networked
at the same time? You need other people for networks.
Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and
e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors,
and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice,
person to person, in real time.
A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that
for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this
person-to- person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study
say that’s a good thing. Why?
In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立) us and
caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew
study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real
people than expected — helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical
problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million
Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make
major life decisions.
Thanks to the computer, we are able to be alone and together with other people
— at the same time!
60. The underlined phrase “networked individualism” probably means that by using
computers people ________.
A. stick to their own ways no matter what other people say
B. have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest
C. do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people
D. are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people
61. According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life
decisions?
A. Networks.
B. Friends.
C. Phones.
D. Parents.
62. It can be inferred from the Pew study that _______.
A. people have been separated from each other by using computers
B. the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely
C. the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication
D. a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing
63. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. We’re Alone on the Internet.
B. We’re Communicating on the Internet.
C. We’re Alone Together on the Internet.
D. We’re in the Imaginary World of the Internet.
C

Thinking
D
Some scientists claim that we humans are the only living things that are
conscious (有意识的) — we alone are aware that we are thinking.
No one knows how consciousness works — it is one of science’s last
great mysteries.
All your thoughts take place in the cerebrum (大脑皮质), which is at the
top of your brain, and different kinds of thought are linked to different
areas, called association areas.
Each half of the cerebrum has four rounded ends called lobes (脑叶) —
two at the front (frontal and temporal lobes) and two at the back
(occipital and parietal lobes).
The frontal lobe is linked to your personality and it is where you have
your bright ideas.
The temporal lobe is where you hear and understand what people say to
you.
The occipital lobe is where you work out what your eyes see.
The parietal lobe is where you record touch, heat and cold, and pain.
The left half of the brain controls the right side of the body. The right
half controls the left side.
One half of the brain is always dominant (in charge). Usually, the left
brain is dominant, which is why 90% of people are right-handed.
68. Which part of your cerebrum is most active when you are making a telephone call?
A. The frontal lobe.
C. The occipital lobe.
B. The temporal lobe.
D. The parietal lobe.
69. Which of the following statements is true?
A. One’s personality has something to do with the frontal lobe.
B. Bright ideas come from the parietal lobe.
C. The occipital and temporal lobes are at the back of the cerebrum.
D. The occipital lobe is in charge of sound.
70. From the passage, we know the reason why around 10% of people are left-handed
is that ________.
A. their frontal lobe is usually dominant
B. their temporal lobe is usually dominant
C. their right brain is usually dominant
D. their left brain is usually dominant
E
