Part 3 Reading and Writing
(第三部分 读与写)
Ⅵ. Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)：(共50分)
A. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) (12分)
It happens to all of us. It is the end of the semester and your teacher gives you your report card.
You look at it and your heart stops because you realize that your parents are going to be very angry.
This is the classic case of a bad report card! There is nothing you can do to change the past. So, what
do you do now?
A disappointing report card is something that almost all students will experience at
least once in their lives. Grades are how most schools evaluate（评价）students and they
are pretty important. The problem is that we do not always get good grades we (or our parents)
want. After a bad report card, it is important to figure out what to do
next.
The first thing to do is talk to your teacher. Find out how
your grades were calculated. Was the problem a bad test, lack of
participation（参与）in class, or a failure to complete homework?
Next, if the problem is something you can solve on your own (such as not doing your
homework), make a promise to change your behaviour! However, if you have been studying hard
and still got a bad grade, you probably need some extra help with your classes. Talk to your teacher
and explain your situation. He or she will tell you where you can receive the extra help you need.
Then, make a detailed plan of how you will improve your grades. Write down the plan and have it
ready when you take to your parents. That’s good way to make your parents less angry.While all parents want their children to get good grades, most understand that not every report
card will be perfect. The important thing is that you show your parents you have a plan to improve
your grades for next time. Always remember, many of the world’s most
successful people failed many times before they became successful. They
learned from their failures, and you should too!
69. What is the problem with the grades?
A. Most schools evaluate students by using grades. B. It’s important to get good grades.
C. We don’t always get good grades we want. D. Grades are sometimes incorrect.
70. Which of the following is not a cause of a bad report card?
A. There was something wrong with the test itself. B. You studied hard enough for the test.
C. You didn’t take part in enough group work in class. D. You failed to finish your homework.
71. ________ is a good way to make your parents less angry.
A. Telling your parents the test was too difficult for you
B. Understanding all parents want their children to get good grades
C. Showing your parents you have a detailed plan to improve your grades
D. Explaining why you couldn’t complete your homework on time
72. The underlined word “your situation” in the text probably means “________”.
A. You had no idea about how your grades were calculated.
B. You have made a promise to change some bad behaviour.
C. You have been studying hard, but you still got bad grades.
D. You have had a detailed plan to improve your grades.
73. Why does the writer mention（提及）“successful people” in paragraph 4?
A. to compare successful people with unsuccessful people
B. to describe whether they had good grades or bad grades
C. to encourage students to become successful like those people
D. to explain that even successful people fail from time to time
74. The text above is written to ________.
A. encourage students to get good grades B. make parents less angry
C. share ways to deal with bad report cards D. find excuses for bad grades
B. Choose the words or expression to complete the passage(选择最恰当的单词或短语，完成
短文) (12分)Would you like to be comfortable talking to other people? Holding conversations may help.
Holding conversations may not seem like a skill. ____75_____, everyone talks to
other people frequently（频繁地）. But talking to new people makes many people nervous.
Here are some ways to make conversations more fun and less
awkward（尴尬的）.
Body language
As strange as it may seem, much ____76_____ happens without any
words.
The way you stand and act tells people a lot about you. When you’re talking with someone,
stand up straight and look them in the eye. This shows that you’re confident. And if you’re nervous,
acting like you’re confident can help you feel more confident. When you’re listening, look at the
other person. Lean forward to show that you’re interested in what they’re saying.
Back and forth
A good conversation is not a ____77_____, which means that both people need to participate.
If you’re doing all the talking , pause to give the other person time to speak. If they don’t say
anything, try asking them a question.
Questions can also help if you’re struggling（挣扎）to think of something to say. If
you ask the other person a question, they’ll talk for a while. Maybe they’ll say something relate with
and can reply. to. People are generally ____78_____ to find others with similar interests.
When you ask questions, try to come up with open-ended ones. That means questions where
the answer is more than just “yes” or “no.” Open-ended questions in English tend to start with who,
what, when, where and why.
Don’t fear ____79_____.
Don’t panic if the conversation has quiet moments. Every conversation has some.
Think of them as opportunities to change the subject to something you’re interested in.
You could also comment on（评论）something you’ve done recently. Or once again, you
can ask a question about the other person.
So if you’re shy, be brave, ask a question, and start a conversation. As with any skill, you will
on ____80_____ holding conversations with time.
75. A. Above all B. In brief C. After all D. Even though
76. A. emotion B. communications C. information D. situation77. A. dialogue B. game C. discussion D. speech
78. A. difficult B. faithful C. excited D. honest
79. A. conclusions B. questions C. conversations D. silence
80. A. increase B. improve C. better D. rise
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的
词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）（14分）
A local primary school is considering using tablet computers（平板电脑）in all
classrooms from next year. The following text has been written by a teacher at the
school.
Should we use tablet computers in the classroom?
The use of tablet computers（or simply“tablets”）in the
classroom has become an increasingly popular choice in many
primary schools across the country, including many in our local area. It is important that
we consider this opportunity, but we must also be a ____81_____ of the problems.
On one hand, there are many a____82_____ to use tablets in the classroom.
Firstly, tablets could improve productivity（ 效 率 ）during the school day. Because
of their familiarity with computers and mobile phones, many of our students can type
faster than they can write by hand. T____83_____, using tablets in the classroom could
reduce the time it takes for them to complete tasks. Additionally, there are endless tablet
functions（功能）which could provide interesting teaching a____84_____. For example, we
could play computer games to teach Maths, or make simple flashes to show how magnets behave.
Also, students could take photos outdoors and then use them for writing tasks.
However, we must also consider the possible problems with introducing tablets to our
classrooms. Some students may play with the tablets instead of f____85_____ on their work.
Another problem is that, while many students can use tablets already, many of our teachers are not
good at it and would need to be trained. We may also have problems with the tablets breaking, which
would be very expensive to r____86_____. This is in addition to the cost of buying the tablets in
the first place.
All in all, even though using tablets in the classroom may have many problems, it seems that
it would be a wonderful opportunity for students and teachers at our school. There are a lot of costsindeed, but it would c____87_____ prove to be a worthwhile investment（物有所值的投资）.
D. Answer the questions (根据短文回答下列问题）（12分）
Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
As you may have heard from my parents, I’m in China right now on a cultural exchange
program. I’m enjoying my time here very much. I have made new friends here, many of whom are
locals. Through my interaction（相互交流）with them, I’ve noticed some interesting cultural
differences. One of the most obvious（明显的）cultural differences is the size of food
portions in restaurants. Back home in America, the food portions are usually larger than those
I’ve seen in China. We’re even used to seeing super-sized dishes in some restaurants.
However, in Asia, food portions are generally not extremely large. I’m just encouraged to eat
until I’m full and enjoy different kinds of food. Eating out in Asia is often a big social affair
（社交活动）. People here eat out a lot. There are all kinds of restaurants. And there are
food stands and food carts-even on the sidewalk（人行道）.
Another interesting aspect of eating out is the way food is served. Back home in America, each
diner orders their own meal. When people eat out in Asia, they usually order food to share. Nearly
every time I eat out with friends in China, each of us has our own bowl of rice or noodles, and we
share the rest of the dishes. This is an excellent way to try new foods! One thing that makes me
confused is the way people pay for food at a restaurant. In the U.S. we often ask for separate（分
开的）checks, so we each pay for our own meal. But here, if diners decide to pay separately,
they typically don’t request separate checks. Instead, they give money to one person who pays the
bill. People also don’t tip the server. Instead, there is often a service charge added to the bill.
I hope you are doing well. I’ll write you again!
Love,
Margaret
