第三部分: 阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分, 满分30分）
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport.
4
He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.
“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC. “Elevators are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”
We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.
He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box.
If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance.
When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.
New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.
Why are we so awkward in lifts?
“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people, we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”
In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be understood as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said. 56. The main purpose of the article is to ____________.
A. remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator B. tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette C. share an interesting but awkward elevator ride
D. analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator
57. According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually ____________.
A. turn around and greet one another B. look around or examine their phone
C. make eye contact with those in the elevator D. try to keep a distance from other people
58. Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator? (The point in the chart refers to one person.)
59. The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _________. A. judge B. ignore C. put up with D. make the best of 60. According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of ___________.
A. someone’s odd behaviors B. the lack of space
C. their unfamiliarity with one another D. their eye contact with one another

B
Alice Wilder, a 17-year-old student at Northwest School of the Arts in North Carolina, considers herself a feminist (女权主义者). She is one of 26 bloggers for SPARK, an international group founded in 2010. The group fights the use of the female body as a marketing tool in the media.
Alice found out about SPARK when the organization launched a campaign demanding Seventeen Magazine feature a more diverse group of models. She applied to be a blogger for the group in May and won one of the positions.
Each month, Alice pitches (为…做宣传) her girl –and women – centric blog post ideas via online chat to an editor at SPARK. So far, she has written about topics such as female actresses, choosing what to wear, and dealing with anger.
Alice said she hopes large companies and media stop editing images of women. Increases in bust (胸部) size, decreases in waist size, smoothing and whitewashing skin are what Alice notes. “We want them to know that these images are bad for our development,” Alice said. “Three out of four teen girls feel bad about themselves after reading a fashion magazine for three minutes,” she said, according to SPARK’s research.
Alice first felt it necessary to advocate (倡导) for women in the fifth grade, after seeing a girl’s T-shirt with writing on the front that read: “Who needs brains when you have these?”
“I was raised with this idea that if you don’t like something, you can change it,” Alice said. So Alice started following feminist bloggers.
Alice juggles class work with blogging and creating videos and serves as editor-in-chief of her school’s newspaper. It is amazing that she can handle everything well at the same time.
She’s also focused on creating projects that aim to inspire girls – like designing a “girl power bathroom” at her school. The newly designed third-floor restroom is completed with pastel paint colors and inspirational (启发人的) quotes from women around the world.
“Sisterhood is powerful,” Alice said. “It can make you feel less alone.” 61. Which of the following is the correct order of events, according to the article?
a. Alice helped design a “girl power bathroom”.
b. Alice first felt it necessary to advocate for women.
c. SPARK launched a campaign asking Seventeen Magazine to feature a more diverse group of models.
d. Alice applied to be a blogger for SPARK. e. Alice started reading feminist bloggers.
A. b–e–c–a–d B. b–e–c–d–a C. c–d–e–b–a D. c–e–b–d–a 62. The underlined word “juggle” in the article probably means ______________.
A. to deal with several tasks at once B. to change one’s original plan
C. to pay more attention to something D. to lose one’s interest in something 63. We can infer from the last three paragraphs that Alice ___________.
A. often feels lonely in her fight
B. often advises schoolmates on what to wear
C. believes that her efforts could change the lives of many girls D. puts more energy into her school’s newspaper than her study 64. This article is mainly about ____________.
A. what being a feminist means in today’s American society
6
B. Alice Wilder’s participation in feminist activities C. how girls and women fight for their rights in the US D. the ways that the US media misleads girls
65. From the article, we can conclude that Alice Wilder ___________.
A. is a successful feminist blogger with hundreds of followers B. believes that teenage girls shouldn’t read fashion magazines C. doesn’t think that girls or women should look sexy D. is a critical thinker and works hard for her goals
C
All that hard work, all that hardship, all the time spent underground, it was all for the families. It was all for you. For a car in the driveway, a roof overhead. For a chance to give their kids opportunities that they would never know, and enjoy retirement with their loves and lovers. It was all in the hopes of something better. And so these miners lived – as they died – dreaming of the American Dream.
There, in the mines, for their families, they became a family themselves -– sharing birthdays, relaxing together, watching Mountaineers football or basketball together, spending days off together, hunting or fishing. They may not have always loved what they did, said a sister, but they loved doing it together. They loved doing it as a family. They loved doing it as a community.
That community was showed for all to see in the minutes, and hours, and days after the tragedy. Rescuers, risking their own safety, searching for narrow tunnels filled with methane(甲烷) and carbon monoxide(一氧化碳), hoping against hope they might find a survivor. Friends keeping porch lights on in a nightly vigil(守夜); hanging up homemade signs that read, “Pray for our miners, and their families.” Neighbors consoling each other, and supporting each other and leaning on one another.
I’ve seen it, the strength of that community. In the days that followed the disaster, emails and letters poured into the White House. Postmarked from different places across the country, they often began the same way: “I am proud to be from a family of miners.” “I am the son of a coal miner.” “I am proud to be a coal miner’s daughter.” (Applause.) They were always proud, and they asked me to keep our miners in my thoughts, in my prayers. Never forget, they say, miners keep America’s lights on. (Applause.) And then in these letters, they make a simple plea: Don’t let this happen again. (Applause.) Don't let this happen again.
How can we fail them? How can a nation that relies on its miners not do everything in its power to protect them? How can we let anyone in this country put their lives at risk by simply showing up to work; by simply pursuing the American Dream?
We cannot bring back the 29 men we lost. They are with the Lord now. Our task, here on Earth, is to save lives from being lost in another such tragedy; to do what must do, individually and collectively, to assure safe conditions underground -- (applause) -- to treat our miners like they treat each other -- like a family. (Applause.) Because we are all family and we are all Americans. (Applause.) And we have to lean on one another, and look out for one another, and love one another, and pray for one another.
God bless our miners. (Applause.) God bless their families. God bless West Virginia. (Applause.) And God bless the United States of America. (Applause.)
66. According to the passage, what does the “tragedy” in paragraph 4 refer to?
7
A. Rescuers risked their own safety and found the survivors. B. Miners were trapped and some even died in the mine. C. The sons and daughters lost their fathers. D. The government failed to protect the miners.
67. The word “consoling” in the 4th paragraph probably means “_______.”
A. cheering B. loving C. supporting D. comforting 68. Where did the tragedy probably happen?
A. Near the White House. B. In West Virginia. C. In a community. D. We don’t know. 69. Why did the White House receive so many emails and letters in the days following the disaster?
A. To ask the government to prevent the disaster happening again. B. To ask the Americans to remember the miners killed in the disaster. C. To show their pride in being a family member of miners. D. To keep the miners in their children’s thoughts.
70. It can be inferred that the passage is probably ___________.
A. a news report B. a speech C. a letter D. a diary

Let’s work hand in hand to protect wildlife
It is well known that wildlife, a kind of valuable natural resources, is our friends. But at present, the number of wildlife in our country is decreasing rapidly and some rare animals are even in great danger of dying out. There are many reasons for the depressing situation. For example, the ecological environment is getting worse and worse and the habitat of some wildlife has been destroyed because of human activities.
Therefore, it is time for human beings to take action to protect wildlife before it is too late. Strict laws should be passed to prevent wildlife being hunted or killed without mercy. And it will be greatly helpful if people protect the habitat of wildlife and learn to live in peace with wildlife.
My dear friends, to protect wildlife is to protect ourselves, so let’s work hand in hand and make a contribution to wildlife protection.
