第三部分閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
Short and shy, Ben saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket---anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England’s rural Devonshire.
It was a mount
ain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.
The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s School of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man’s cold-water exploits(成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.
Journeys to the Pole aren’t the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. John Ridway was one of the few who didn’t say, “You’re completely crazy,” Saunders says.
In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a close encounter(遭遇) with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.
Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.
This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the Sou
th Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.
46. The turning point in Saunders’ life came when________.
A. he started to play ball games
B. he got a mountain bike at age 15
C. he ran his first marathon at age 18
D. he started to receive Ridgway’s training
47. We can learn from the text that Ridgway_________.
A. dismissed Saunders’ dream as fantasy
B. built up his body together with Saunders
C. hired Saunders for his cold-water experience
D. won his fame for his voyage across the Atlantic
48. What do we know about Saunders?
A. He once worked at a school in Scotland.
B. He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole.
C. He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid.
D. He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole.
49. The underlined word “Intrigued” in the third paragraph probably means______.
A. excited B. convinced C. delighted D. fascinated
50. It can be inferred that Saunders’ journey to the North Pole _______.
A. was accompanied by his old playmates
B. set a record in the North Pole expedition
C. was supported by other Antarctic explorers
D. made him well-known in the 1960s

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分,滿分40分）
When Chato's barking didn't stir Jerrica Seals, the recently adopted dog triednibbling on the teenager's leg, to get the girl out of her burning house.
No one was hurt. Fort Myers firefighters responded at about 7 a.m.
Five people lived in the Garcia home. That was neighbor Janice Hamilton's main concern when she looked out of her window Friday and saw the flames. "I just threw my pants on to run outside and make sure they knew how many people lived there," Hamilton said. "It was scary."
"Seals called me screaming," said Leticia Vega, 36, the sister of Seal's boyfriend, Javier Garcia, 23, who owns the home. "She said the dog woke her up barking, jumped on the bed and bit her on the leg."
It is said that Garcia's brother brought Chato home several weeks ago after the animal wandered onto a Lehigh Acres construction site. Since then, Vega said, Chato had been mostly quiet－until it mattered. "He doesn't usually bark." Vega said. "He's real friendly."
According to deputy fire chief Steve Clyatt, possibly the fire started because of an inadequate extension cord used on a window air conditioner. More than half of the home was burned down. There was extensive smoke and water damage in the remainder of the structure. Estimates for repair costs were unavailable. "I'd say it's unlikely they will recover this, but I've been surprised before," Clyatt said.
61.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Janice Hamilton Helps Save Neighbors
B. Firefighters Put Out House Fire
C. Dogs Saves Teen Girl From House Fire
D. Family Needs Help Due To House Fire
62.The underlined word "they" in the third paragraph most probably refers to________.
A. other neighbors B. Hamilton family members
C. Vega and her brother Garcia D. the firefighters
63.By saying "I'd say it's unlikely they will recover this, but I've been surprised before." in the last paragraph, Clyatt means________.
A. it's a wonder that Seals survived the fire B. the house was badly damaged
C. such a bad fire was seldom seen D. Chato is a very clever dog
64.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned?
A. The person who called the firefighters. B. The possible cause of the accident.
C. The relationship between Seals and Garcia. D. The owner of the house.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共15小題，每題2分，滿分30分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項A、B、C、D中，選出最佳答案。
The competition for Hollywood's highest honors has begun with the announcement Tuesday in Los Angeles of this year's nominations（提名）for the 82nd Academy Awards.
As expected, James Cameron's Avatar received a Best Picture nomination. And Cameron's former wife, Kathryn Bigelow, was nominated for The Hurt Locker, a war film set in Iraq. Bigelow would be the first female director to win Best Picture.
Hollywood author Tom O'Neil says the race between the former couple adds more drama to the competition. "We have a classic David-versus-Goliath battle here for Best Picture at the Oscars. The most successful movie ever made, Avatar, up against a movie that lost money, The Hurt Locker - directed by the former Mrs. Goliath, Kathryn Bigelow. This race has all kinds of dimensions（程度） to it," he said.
For the first time since 1943, 10 films are competing for the Best Picture award.
Entertainment reporter Sam Rubin says that means greater interest in the Academy Awards ceremony March 7th. "The Oscars are a television show," he explained. "So the idea is to increase ratings and interest in the television show."
District Nine represents another departure -- a tale of science fiction -- like the box office hit Avatar.
"No science-fiction movie has ever won Best Picture. Only two have been nominated in the past: Star Wars and E.T. Two are nominated for Best Picture now," O'Neil said.
Best Picture nominee Precious is a drama about the struggles of an inner-city teen, and its director, Lee Daniels, is also nominated in the Best Director category. He is first African-American director to get a Best Picture nomination.
The other Best Picture nominees are An Education, The Blind Side, Inglourious Basterds, A Serious Man, and Up in the Air.
Over the past 20 years, the film with the most nominations has won best picture 15 times --making Avatar and The Hurt Locker the favorites.
1. According to the passage, the director of the film __________might be the first female director to win Best Picture.
A. Avatar B. The Hurt Locker C. Star Wars D. The Blind Side
2.How many films have been nominated for the Best Picture Award of the 82nd Oscars?
A. 2 B. 6 C. 8 D.10
3. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. The nominations for the 2009 Oscar Best Picture Films
B. The competition for Hollywood's highest honors has begun
C. The race between a couple D. Best Picture Award for the Oscars
4. Which of the following is TRUE about Avatar?
A. It is the most successful movie ever made.
B. It’s the only science-fiction movie that has ever won Best Picture.
C. It was directed by James Cameron D. It’s a war film.

第三部分：閱讀理解（第一節(jié)15小題，第二節(jié)５小題；每小題２分，滿分4０分）
第一節(jié)：閱讀下面的短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut.” Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list.” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that, to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
61. “The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son _______.
A. is always busy with his studies
B. doesn’t want to be disturbed (干擾)
C. keeps himself away from his parents
D. begins to dislike his parents
62. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that ______.
A. their daughter isn’t as lovely as before
B. they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly
C. they don’t know what to say to their daughter
D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help
63. Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?
A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.
B. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.
C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.
D. teenagers talk little about their own lives.
