第三部分: 阅读理解 (共两节，每小题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
A powerful earthquake struck the northeastern coast of Japan at two forty-six p.m. local time on March eleventh.2020;2020. Japan's Meteorological Agency released its first tsunami（海啸） warnings just three minutes later. The country has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world.
There are more than four thousand Seismic Intensity Meters in place throughout Japan to measure earthquake activity. These meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening. Information about the strength and the center of the earthquake can be learned within three minutes.
There are also concrete(混凝土) sea walls around much of the Japanese coastline. But these measures proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami.
Costas Synolakis ，a tsunami expert at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles said，"Japan is one of those most well-prepared countries on earth in terms of tsunami warning. They had a warning. I think what went wrong is that they had not expected the size of this event."
He says there are two reasons for this. Japan has not had any event anywhere near as big as this one in the last one hundred fifty years. And scientists had not expected such a large earthquake happening off the coast of Japan.
The nine point zero magnitude earthquake was the fourth most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide. It was also the worst earthquake ever to hit Japan. The tsunami waves that followed were reported to have reached as high as thirteen meters in some areas.
Costas Synolakis says Japan's concrete sea walls were not built to handle such high waves.
Experts say early warning systems will continue to be limited by these facts until earthquakes and tsunamis can be predicted
21．Where can this passage probably be adapted from?
A．A magazine on science B．A fairy Tale
C．A scientific fantasy book D．A newspaper
22．Which of the following statements NOT true ?
A. A terrible earthquake hit the northeastern coast of Japan
B. It was also the worst earthquake in Japan
C. The 9.0 earthquake was the fourth most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan
D. Japan's concrete sea walls was unable to handle such high waves.
23. According to Costas Synolakis, why did Japan suffer such a loss?
A. The country has never experienced any event as big as this one over the past 150 years
B. Japan has the best earthquake early warning systems in the world.
C. There are not concrete sea walls around all of the Japanese coastline
D. The government didn’t announce its first tsunami warnings three minutes earlier.
B
Ever since news of widespread food recalls caused by a carcinogenic dye broke, there has been confusion（混淆） over possible links to the country of the same name, but Sudan officials say there is no connection whatever．
Sudan 1 is a red industrial dye（颜料） that has been found in some chilli powder, but was banned in food products across the European Union (EU) in July 2020;2020．
Since the ban was put in place, EU officials have been trying to remove some food products from the shelves．So far 580 products have been recalled．Last week Sudan’s Embassy in the United Kingdom asked the Food Standards Agency (FSA) for clarification(澄清) of the origin of the dye’s name．Omaima Mahmoud Al Sharief, a pr ess official at Sudan’s Embassy in China, explained the purpose of the inquiry was to clear up any misunderstanding over links between the country and the poisonous dye．
"We want to keep an eye on every detail and avoid any misunderstanding there," she said．"Our embassy to Britain asked them how the dye got that name and whether the dye had something to do with our country．But they told us there was no relationship．"
The FSA, an independent food security watchdog in Britain, received a letter from the Sudanese embassy last week．
"They asked us why the dye is named Sudan, however, we also do not know how it got the name," she said．"People found the dye in 1883 and gave it the name．Nobody knows the reason, and we cannot give any explanation before we find out．"
Sudan dyes, which include Sudan 1 to 4, are red dyesused for colouring oils, waxes, petrol, and shoe and floor polishes．They are classified as carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer．
24．What does the underlined word “carcin ogenic” mean in paragraph one? A．Causing cancer．B．Having side effect．C．Containing poison．D．Poisonous．

26．We can infer from the passage that．

C．people didn’t real ize the danger of Sudan1 until 2020;2020
D．many food shops will be closed down

Will you get a good job？ What will you do？ Many new graduates feel lost when they consider the endless list of career choices. They’ve invested a lot of money for their diploma（文凭）and now an important question stares them in the fact.
I’ve seen so many now g raduates who do not know how to use the degree they have just earned. An example was Dave，who loved sports and had played baseball throughout his college years. He had his heart set on working for Nike. But he had never made clear in his own mind what kind of job he could do for Nike，so nothing ever happened. Another example was Allison，who was a history major. She wanted to work as an event planner，but unfortunately，no one hired her. Why？ No experience.
Failing to do some solid career exploration first，to get a clear idea of the types of jobs you can do，is a big error that many college students make.
After our suggestion，Dave and Allison both found their jobs. To ensure a brighter future，follow these effective strategies：
—Make educated career choices. Identify the job you want. Conduct research. Ask parents to advise you on actual job duties. Consider what your natural talents are，and look for positions where you can use them.
—Don’t rely on the Internet. Networking is an effective tool—be sure it’s a job—hunting strategy you use. New studies from the Department of Labor state that only 4％ of job-seekers found their job on the Internet. The fact is that 63％ of all jobs are filled by contacts.
Employers are making quick decisions. Most people lose the job in the first minute of the interview. It’s deadly to let the employers focus quickly on how well you can perform the job.
—Practice your interviewing skills. Be ready for the tough questions by first writing out good answers to possible questions and having a role-playing interview with your friend.
28．What does the author seem to be most probable？
A．A job-hunter. B．A magazine editor.
C．A website owner. D．A job-seeking adviser.
29．In order to be well prepared for the interview, you’d better ____________.
A．surf the Internet for contacts B．get along well with your workmates C．practice the interview for several times D．take care of your dress 30．According to the text it is suggested that Dave should ____________. A．let others know what he can do for them B．study further to get a higher degree
C．give up his interest in playing basketball D．take part-time jobs first
31．For Allison, she should ____________.
A．find a job in another field B．find some work to gain work experience
C．not tell the employer her major D．offer more personal information
D
At a primary school in a small town in the east of South Carolina, second-grade teachers Garneau and Lynne are convinced that separating elementary-age boys and girls produces immediate academic improvement in both genders（性别）．David Chadwell, South Carolina’s expert of single gender education says, “Boys and girls learn, hear and respond to their surroundings differently．We can teach boys and girls based on what we now know．”
Male and female eyes are not organized in the same way, he explains．The organization of the male eye makes it sensitive to motion and direction．“Boys understand the world as objects moving through space,” he says．
The male eye is also drawn to cooler colors like silver and black．It’s no accident that boys tend to create pictures of moving objects instead of drawing the happy colorful family, like girls do in their class．
The female eye, on the other hand, is drawn to warmer colors like red, yellow and orange．To attract girls, Chadwell says, the teacher doesn’t need to move as much as in boy’s class．Using descriptive phrases and lots of colors in presentations or on the blackboard gets their attention．
Boys and girls also hear differently．“When someone speaks in a loud tone, girls understand it as yelling,” Chadwell says．“They think you’re mad and can shut down．” Girls are more sensitive to sounds．He advises girls’ teachers to watch the tone of their voices．Boys’ teachers should sound more forceful, even excited．
③ ⑦
④ ⑤ ⑥ ⑧ ① ②
① ⑥
④ ③ ⑤ ⑦ ② ⑥ ③ ④ ⑤ ⑧ ① ② ⑦ ④ ③ ① ② ⑤ ⑥ ⑦ ⑧ A boy’s nervous system causes him t o be more cautious when he is standing, moving, and the room temperature is around 69 degrees Fahrenheit ．Stress in boys, he says, tends to increase blood flow to their brains, a process that helps them stay focused ．Girls are more focused when seated in a warmer room around 75 degrees Fahrenheit ．Girls also respond to stress differently ．When exposed to threat and conflict, blood goes to their guts （肠道）, leaving them feeling nervous or anxious ．
These differences can be applied in the classroom, Chadwell adds ．“S ingle gender programs are about making the best use of the learning ．”
32．What is David Chadwell’s attitude toward separating elementary -age boys
and girls while learning?
A ．Supportive
B ．Worried
C ．Concerned
D ．Uninterested
33．To engage boy in a class, the teacher ______．
A ．must have a moving object in this hand
B ．needs to wear clothes in warm color
C ．has to speak politely
D ．had better move constantly while teaching
34．Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?
（ ①= Paragraph 1 ②= Paragraph 2 ③= Paragraph 3 …．．． ⑧= Paragraph 8 ）
A ．
B ． C. D.
35．Which of the following students is most likely to be focused?
A ．A boy sitting in a warm room
B ．A standing boy who is faced with stress
C ．A girl standing in a cold room
D ．A girl who is facing a lot of pressure

In the 60s, people asked about your astrological (about star) sign. In the 90s, they want to know your website. 71 Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.
72 Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.
While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout（版面设计）.At the top of the page is a banner(横幅). Next comes a greeting and a short description of the site. Pictures, text, and links to other websites follow.
73 Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site.
While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind: 74 If you are too much at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site.
Less is better. Most people don’t like to read a lot of long text online.
75
Smaller is better. Since it can take a long time to download large image files, keep the file sizes small.
Have the rights. Don’t put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it legally. Always remember to get the permission from the writer
first.
Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start building
A．Start simply.
B．Break it into small pieces.
C．Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper.
D．Many websites are considered very interesting.
E．Before you start building your site, do some planning.
F．Think of your home page as the starting point of your website.
