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，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A

My father had returned from his business visit to London when I came in, rather late, to supper. I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, \"How would you like to go to Eton?\"

\"You bet,\" I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided

joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed(尴尬) driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100. This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict(冲突) with his fear of drawing attention to himself.

It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging(刺痛) and my hands shaking with the puzzle men (困惑) of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.

\"Oh, he doesn't want to go away,\" said my mother, \"You shouldn't go on like this.\" \"It's up to him,\" said my father. \"He can make up his own mind.\" 56. The house the writer's family lived in was _______

A. the best they could afford B. right for their social position

C. for showing off D. rather small 57. His father sold his Roils-Royce because _______

A. it made him feel uneasy B. it was too old to work well C. it was too expensive to possess D. it was too cheap 58. The writer's father enjoyed being different as long as _______ A. it drew attention to him arguments

C. it was understood as a joke D. there was no danger of his showing off

59. What was the writer's reaction(反应) to the idea of going to Eton? A. He was very unhappy. B. He didn't believe it. C. He was delighted. D. He had mixed feelings. 60. We can know from the passage that _______

B. it didn't bring him in

A. Children who can go to Eton arc very famous B. Children can go to Eton if they will

C. It is very difficult for a child to get admitted by Eton

D. Children don't have the right to decide whether they will go to Eton B

Robots frequently star in science fiction movies and books. But, that wasn't enough and they began jumping off the screen and into reality recently. So if you have some things you'd like a robot to do, You'd better make a list right now. That's because they may be here faster than you can snap your fingers. In Hong Kong, for example, customers were once attracted to some restaurants not because of the food, but because of a robot waiter. The robot greeted customers and took their orders. The customers could give the names of the dishes they wanted by tapping on the robot's screen to complete the order. Robot Waiter 1, as it's known, can only take orders--it still can't cook. But restaurant owners say they have plans to add a robot-chief to the staff in the near future. In October, hundreds of robots around the world showed up in Suzhou for the Robot Cup, a World Cup Soccer Game--for robots. And at the end of last month, a robot Albert Einstein was on display in New York. He not only gave physics classes but also identified different faces with a camera in his eyes. Although some people are afraid of the robot revolution--sci-fi novelist Isaac Asimov described this in his work \"Robot Revolution, the Making of I\people want to enjoy the fascinating world that robots can bring us in the future.

61. Robots in the passage can do all the following things EXCEPT_______ A. be the heroes in the science movies B. take orders in a restaurant

C. give physics classes D. cook food in a restaurant 62. The examples in the second paragraph are given to show _______

A. how China cares about robots B. the new functions of some robots

C. the dangers of a robot revolution D. New York is advanced

in making robots 63. What's the attitude of most people toward robots? A. Negative (否定) B. Indifferent (不关心) C. Objective (客观) D. Supportive (支持) 64. What does the last sentence in the first paragraph mean? A. Robots will soon be available (used).

B. Robots will move faster if you snap your fingers. C. Robots can move as fast as you snap your fingers.

D. It will take less than a minute for robots to enter our life. 65. What were customers once attracted to in Hong Kong？

A. The food of some restaurants. B. A cook chief.

C. A robot waiter. D. Some physics classes C Everyone has good days and bad days.

Sometimes, you feel as if you're on top of the world. But sometimes you feel horrible, and you lose things and you cannot focus on your schoolwork. For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem(自尊) is the key to success. Now, new research shows that paying attention just to building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable(可爱的)or more upset when you fail at something.

\"Forget about self-esteem,\" says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist(心理学家) at the University of Michigan, US. \"It's not the important thing.\" Feeling good

Crocker's advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about yourself.

Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be sad, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.

But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.

He believes that violent and wicked(邪恶的) people often have the highest

self-esteem of all. He also said: \"There's no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school.\" Problems

All types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos(自我) that can make them less likeable to their peers(同龄人), said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University.

People with high self-esteem tend(倾向于) to think more of themselves, Vohs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to depend on their friends when they need help. What to do

Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive(积极的) ways to contribute to society. If you fail at something try to learn from the experience. \"The best therapy (药方) is to recognize your faults,\" Vohs says. \"It's OK to say, 'I'm not so good at that,' and then move on.\"

66. The new research comes to the conclusion that high self-esteem_______ A. is not important at all B. has taken on a different meaning

C. may not be the key to success D. helps you do better at school 67．One of the conclusions of the new research is that_______

A．people with high self-esteem are likely to be sad，anxious, shy, or lonely B．people with low esteem usually do not seek other’s help

C．people with high esteem tend to think they are better than other people D．people with low esteem are often more popular

68．The underlined part‘'a better person'’in the passage probably means a person who is____．

A．helpful and supportive B．gentle and modest C．1ikable and successful D．friendly and kind

69．From the text，we can infer the best therapy mentioned in the last paragraph

is mainly for People________．

A. with high self-esteem B. with low self-esteem

C. of all kinds D. who are focusing on building self-esteem

70. The main idea of the passage is that ______ A. high self-esteem is the key to success

B. focusing just on building self-esteem may be of no help C. building up your low self-esteem will make you a better person D. it is best to listen to and support other people D
