第三部分 阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
请阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
eLearning:An Alternative Learning
Opportunity
Day School Program
Secondary students across Toronto District School Board(TDSB) are invited to take one or two
eLearning courses on their day school timetable.Students will remain on the roll at their day
school.
The online classroom provides an innovative,relevant and interactive learning environment.The
courses and online classroom are provided by the Ministry of Education.
These online courses:
are taught by TDSB secondary school teachers;
are part of the TDSB student’s timetable;and,
appear on the student’s report upon completion.
Benefits of eLearning
Include:
access to courses that may not be available at his or her TDSB school;
using technology to provide students with current information;and,
assistance to solve timetable conflicts.
Is eLearning for You?
Students who are successful in an online course are usually:
able to plan,organize time and complete assignments and activities;
capable of working independently in a responsible and honest manner;and,
able to regularly use a computer or mobile device with internet access.Students need to spend at least as much time with their online course work as they would in a
facetoface classroom course.
56.ELearning courses are different from other TDSB courses in that .
A.they are given by best TDSB teachers
B.they are not on the day school timetable
C.they are not included on students’ reports
D.they are an addition to TDSB courses
57.What do students need to do before completing eLearning courses?
A.To learn information technology online.
B.To do their assignments independently.
C.To update their mobile devices regularly.
D.To talk face to face with their teachers.
B
Chimps(黑猩猩) will cooperate in certain ways,like gathering in war parties to protect their
territory.But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings,they have little instinct(本能)
to help one another.Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves.Even chimp mothers regularly
decline to share food with their children,who are able from a young age to gather their own food.
In the laboratory,chimps don’t naturally share food either.If a chimp is put in a cage where
he can pull in one plate of food for himself or,with no greater effort,a plate that also provides
food for a neighbor in the next cage,he will pull at random—he just doesn’t care whether his
neighbor gets fed or not.Chimps are truly selfish.
Human children,on the other hand,are naturally cooperative.From the earliest ages,they
desire to help others,to share information and to participate in achieving common goals.The
psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperativeness in a series of experiments with
very young children.He finds that if babies aged 18 months see an unrelated adult with hands full
trying to open a door,almost all will immediately try to help.
There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help,inform and share are not taught,
but naturally possessed in young children.One is that these instincts appear at a very young age
before most parents have started to train their children to behave socially.Another is that the
helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded.A third reason is that socialintelligence develops in children before their general cognitive(认知的)skills,at least when
compared with chimps.In tests conducted by Tomasello,the human children did no better than
the chimps on the physical world tests but were considerably better at understanding the social
world.
The core of what children’s minds have and chimps’ don’t is what Tomaseuo calls shared
intentionality.Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking.But
beyond that,even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose.They actively seek to
be part of a “we”,a group that intends to work toward a shared goal.
58.What can we learn from the experiment with chimps?
A.Chimps seldom care about others’ interests.
B.Chimps tend to provide food for their children.
C.Chimps like to take in their neighbors’ food.
D.Chimps naturally share food with each other.
59.Michael Tomasello’s tests on young children indicate that they
A.have the instinct to help others
B.know how to offer help to adults
C.know the world better than chimps
D.trust adults with their hands full
60.The passage is mainly about .
A.the helping behaviors of young children
B.ways to train children’s shared intentionality
C.cooperation as a distinctive human nature
D.the development of intelligence in children
C
El Niño,a Spanish term for “the Christ child,” was named by South American fishermen
who noticed that the global weather pattern,which happens every two to seven years,reduced
the amount of fishes caught around Christmas.El Niño sees warm water,collected over several
years in the western Pacific,flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards
weaken,or sometimes the other way round.
The weather effects,both good and bad,are felt in many places.Rich countries gain morefrom powerful Niños,on balance,than they lose.A study found that a strong Niño in 199798
helped America’s economy grow by 15 billion,partly because of better agricultural harvests:
farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain.The total rise in agricultural incomes in rich
countries is greater than the fall in poor ones.
But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames.A multiyear drought(干旱) in southeast
Brazil is becoming worse.Though heavy rains brought about by El Niño may relieve the drought
in California,they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.
The most recent powerful Niño,in 199798,killed around 21,000 people and caused
damage worth 36 billion around the globe.But such Niños come with months of warning,and
so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare.According to the
Overseas Development Institute (ODI),however,just 12% of disasterrelief funding in the past
two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding
afterwards.This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on riskreduction saves at least two on
reconstruction.
Simple improvements to infrastructure(基础设施) can reduce the spread of disease.Better
sewers(下水道) make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad
stomach.Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after
floods.According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and coauthors,civil conflict is related to El
Niño’s harmful effects—and the poorer the country,the stronger the link.Though the relationship
may not be causal,helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the
risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people.Since the poorest are least
likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Niño,reducing their losses needs to
be the priority.
61.What can we learn about El Niño in Paragraph 1?
A.It is named after a South American fisherman.
B.It takes place almost every year all over the world.
C.It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.
D.It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.
62.What may El Niños bring about to the countries affected?
A.Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.B.Droughts become more harmful than floods.
C.Rich countries’ gains are greater than their losses.
D.Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.
63.The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that .
A.more investment should go to risk reduction
B.governments of poor countries need more aid
C.victims of El Niño deserve more compensation
D.recovery and reconstruction should come first
64.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To introduce El Niño and its origin.
B.To explain the consequences of El Niño.
C.To show ways of fighting against El Niño.
D.To urge people to prepare for El Niño.

Not so long ago,most people didn’t know who ShellyAnn FraserPryce was going to
become.She was just an average high school athlete.There was every indication that she was just
another Jamaican teenager without much of a future.However,one person wanted to change
this.Stephen Francis observed then eighteenyearold ShellyAnn at a track meet and was
convinced that he had seen the beginnings of true greatness.Her times were not exactly
impressive,but even so,he sensed there was something trying to get out,something the other
coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking.He decided to offer
ShellyAnn a place in his very strict training sessions.Their cooperation quickly produced
results,and a few years later at Jamaica’s Olympic trials in early 2008,ShellyAnn,who at
that time only ranked number 70 in the world,beat Jamaica’s unchallenged queen of the
sprint(短跑).
“Where did she come from?” asked an astonished sprinting world,before concluding that
she must be one of those onehit wonders that spring up from time to time,only to disappear
again without signs.But ShellyAnn was to prove that she was anything but a onehit wonder.At
the Beijing Olympics she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by
becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 metres Olympic gold.She did it again oneyear on at the World Championships in Berlin,becoming world champion with a time of 10.73—
the fourth fastest time ever.
ShellyAnn is a little woman with a big smile.She has a mental toughness that did not come
about by chance.Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but
smooth and effortless.She grew up in one of Jamaica’s toughest innercity communities known as
Waterhouse,where she lived in a oneroom apartment,sleeping four in a bed with her mother
and two brothers.Waterhouse,one of the poorest communities in Jamaica,is a really violent and
overpopulated place.Several of ShellyAnn’s friends and family were caught up in the killings;
one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived.Sometimes her
family didn’t have enough to eat.She ran at the school championships barefooted because she
couldn’t afford shoes.Her mother Maxime,one of a family of fourteen,had been an athlete
herself as a young girl but,like so many other girls in Waterhouse,had to stop after she had her
first baby.Maxime’s early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the
determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse’s roundabout of
poverty.One of the first things Maxime used to do with ShellyAnn was taking her to the track,
and she was ready to sacrifice everything.
It didn’t take long for ShellyAnn to realize that sports could be her way out of
Waterhouse.On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008,all those long,hard hours of work and
commitment finally bore fruit.The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in
poverty,surrounded by criminals and violence,had written a new chapter in the history of
sports.
But ShellyAnn’s victory was far greater than that.The night she won Olympic gold in
Beijing,the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets
stopped.The dark cloud above one of the world’s toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply
disappeared for a few days.“I have so much fire burning for my country,” Shelly said.She plans
to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in
Waterhouse.She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons.She intends to fight to
make it a woman’s as well as a man’s world.
As Muhammad Ali puts it,“Champions aren’t made in gyms.Champions are made from
something they have deep inside them.A desire, a dream, a vision.” One of the thingsShellyAnn can be proud of is her understanding of this truth.
65.Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach ShellyAnn?A.He had a strong desire to free her
family from trouble.
B.He sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses.
C.She had big problems maintaining her performance.
D.She suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets.
66.What did the sprinting world think of ShellyAnn before the 2008 Olympic Games?
A.She would become a promising star.
B.She badly needed to set higher goals.
C.Her sprinting career would not last long.
D.Her talent for sprinting was known to all.
67.What made Maxime decide to train her daughter on the track?
A.Her success and lessons in her career.
B.Her interest in ShellyAnn’s quick profit.
C.Her wish to get ShellyAnn out of poverty.
D.Her early entrance into the sprinting world.
68.What can we infer from ShellyAnn’s statement underlined in Paragraph 5?
A.She was highly rewarded for her efforts.
B.She was eager to do more for her country.
C.She became an athletic star in her country.
D.She was the envy of the whole community.
69.By mentioning Muhammad Ali’s words,the author intends to tell us that .
A.players should be highly inspired by coaches
B.great athletes need to concentrate on patience
C.hard work is necessary in one’s achievements
D.motivation allows great athletes to be on the top
70.What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Making of a Great Athlete
B.The Dream for Championship
C.The Key to High PerformanceD.The Power of Full Responsibility

An Extension of the Human Brain
Other people can help us compensate for our mental and emotional deficiencies(欠缺),
much as a wooden leg can compensate for a physical deficiency.To be exact,other people can
extend our intelligence and help us understand and adjust our emotions.When another person
helps us in such ways,he or she is participating in what I’ve called a “social prosthetic(义肢的)
system.” Such systems do not need to operate facetoface,and it’s clear to me that the Internet is
expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems.It’s already a big bank of many
minds.Even in its current state,the Internet has extended my memory and judgment.
Regarding memory: Once I look up something on the Internet,I don’t need to keep all the
details for future use—I know where to find that information again and can quickly and easily do
so.More generally,the Internet functions as if it were my memory.This function of the Internet is
particularly striking when I’m writing; I’m no longer comfortable writing if I’m not connected to
the Internet.It’s become natural to check facts as I write,taking a minute or two to dip into
PubMed,Wikipedia,or other websites.
Regarding judgment: The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large.For
example, when I’m writing a textbook, it has become second nature to check a dozen
definitions of a key term,which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning.But more
than that,I now regularly compare my views with those of many others.If I have a “new idea,”
I now quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it,or something
similar—and I then compare what I think with what others have thought.This certainly makes my
own views clearer.Moreover,I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable
enough by reading about those of others on the Internet.
These effects of the Internet have become even more striking since I’ve begun using a
smartphone.I now regularly pull out my phone to check a fact,watch a video,read weibo.Such
activities fill the spaces that used to be dead time (such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a
lunch meeting).But that’s the upside(好处).The downside is that in those dead periods I often would let my
thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight or idea.Those opportunities are
now fewer and farther between.
An Extension of the Human Brain
●The 71. can help make up for our mental
and emotional deficiencies as a wooden leg can
compensate for a bodily deficiency.
A prosthetic nature
●It 72. in our daily events,extending
our intelligence,comprehending our feelings,and
expanding the range of social activities.
●On the Internet,we could quickly and easily locate the
details,and check facts,without 73. them in
mind.
●The Internet makes us smarter over 74. kinds
Wonderful aspects: memory and
of things.It provides a dozen definitions of a key term for
judgment
us to find the 75. of the matter.
●The Internet enables us to exchange ideas with many
others to 76. our claims,and to 77. our
actions.
●Smartphones make it easier and more 79. to
check reality,watch video clips,read weibo.
The 78. sides of smartphones
●Smartphones 80. the possibility for new and
insightful minds,and steal away our dead time.
