第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?

Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream — as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道）.

Some people think that it would be easy to do this job: after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No — there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.

In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”

While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!

Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy — working at one cool job.

56. What is John Harrison’s job?

A. An official. B. An ice-cream taster. C. A chemist. D. An ice-cream manufacturer. 57. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ______. A. keep a diary of work B. have a degree in related subjects C. have new ideas every day D. find out new flavors each day 58. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?

A. He stirs the ice cream. B. He examines the color of the ice cream.

C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream. D. He lets the ice cream warm up.

59. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage? A. Tasting with Eyes B. Flavors of Ice Cream C. John Harrison’s Life D. One Cool Job

B

It’s great fun to explore(探索）new places—it feels like an adventure，even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.

● Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere. It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn or you’ll have to move to the back seat.

● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass (指南针）, a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies (应急现金）. Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together，waiting for slower friends to catch up.

● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc.）in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it’s not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.

60. Sitting beside the driver, you should___________. A. direct the driver when necessary

B. look ahead to see where there’s a turn C. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable D. keep looking at the map to find a place to go to

61. Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before serving out? A. To get information when in danger. B. To be saved in case or an accident.

C. To share the fun with him/her in exploration.

D. To tell him/her what’s going on with the group members. 62. Orienteering activities can______________. A. make people work fast

B. help people stay healthy

D. make people get prepared for sports

C. help people organize other activities

63. The text mainly talks about____________.

A. the fun of exploration

B. what to bring for exploration

D. how to prevent getting lost in exploration C

C. the way to use a map in exploration

Attitude is an internal (内在的） state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual (个人） . Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas; others believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual.

The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages one’s husband or wife to express his or her own ideas — all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired(获得）throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school.

Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when he or she thinks no one will notice. But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by an attitude.

Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single incidents, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individual’s experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them. And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification (修正）of attitudes.

64. According to the passage, attitudes ______ . A. come from different situations in one’s life B. are largely affected by one’s behavior C. remain unchanged in one’s daily life D. could be chosen according to one’s will

65. The author uses the examples in Paragraph 3 to show . A. people often make mistakes when they are not noticed
