    第三部分任务型阅读（满分10分）
    When you do business online, remember one of the most important factors in online success is list building. No matter what goals you’re seeking with your online activities, building a good contact list is vital for a successful outcome. List building plays a major role in developing good relationships with your site’s customers, and visitors. It can be used to get more sales for your site or business. For these reasons contact building should be high on your list when you’re marketing or promoting on the web. Fortunately, list building is an easy process that any site or webmaster can quickly set up as long as you understand two simple elements. To be really successful, your list building must combine these two key elements. Without these you will probably find building your contact list difficult and slow going. So it is worth your while to fully understand these two factors in your list building.  
    Value－It should offer important information, quality content, special deals / discounts, and more importantly, it should offer a valuable relationship or connection to an expert in the subject area of the list. 
    Subscribers (订户) must benefit from joining your list. If you’re building a list, just write down all the benefits someone would receive from joining your site or list, including receiving important information, getting special valuable content, receiving special deals / discounts, getting training videos and getting timely announcements or news. Don’t forget there may also be a psychological reason for joining your list－many people like being part of a group or membership site. It’s human nature. Everybody likes to feel included. 
    Free whatever you offer－make sure it is Free. The quickest way to build any list is to give away free valuable content, information, videos, reports, e-books, discounts, prizes... everybody loves a free gift. Just make them an offer they can’t refuse. This has more to do with the nature of your gift and the kind of contacts you’re building－giving away free buying guides on how to purchase real estate, fast cars, LCD TVs, laptops... will definitely attract the right “buying customer”. If you’re into selling, you just have to adjust your marketing to combine the free element correctly. In addition, giving away something free is the first step in starting an ongoing relationship with your subscribers. It gets the ball rolling.

    (B)
    There is no doubt about it. The best way to learn new words is to do it unconsciously. I don’t mean while you’re unconscious. I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in.
    That is how I learnt the 30,000 words in my vocabulary by living in an English-speaking world, mother tongue. I just pick them up. But some of them may be misunderstood. Now, to misunderstand does not mean not to understand. To misunderstand is to understand but incorrectly.
    The 5 % mislearnt of all the words we “know” will be the least frequently used words, as the more frequently used words are less likely to be mislearnt. Some of the misunderstandings may live with all our lives, without knowing that we got them wrong.
    Many English teachers think that this natural method of learning words in one’s own mother tongue can be used for a second language learning. They teach their students how to play the Guessing Game. “There is no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across,” they will say. “You have to practise guessing what the word means from the context.”
    This method of guessing in a second language learning does not work. It may succeed in many cases, but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.
    And what’s more, there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves. Our learners’ dictionaries usually have many meanings. A good dictionary is what makes self-learning possible.
    Don’t guess! Look it up!
    55. It is certain that the best way to learn new words is _____________.
    A. to learn them by oneself
    B. to learn by living in an English-speaking world and using them frequently
    C. to guess them from the context
    D. to get more separate meanings of each word
    56. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to _________.
    A. the 30,000 words           B. English teachers
    C. misunderstood words      D. frequently used words
    57. Which of the following is most likely NOT true?
    A. Some of the words the writer knows must have been misunderstood.
    B. Most of the 30,000 words the writer learned are frequently used ones.
    C. How many words the writer got wrong are not known.
    D. All the words the writer knows were learned by reading them.
    58. It can be inferred that _________.
    A. when somebody is conscious, he or she usually can’t learn new words by heart
    B. we must use the words as often as possible in order to master them
    C. it’s the best way to learn new words that one should only guess their meanings from the
    context
    D. only dictionaries can help us learn language well

    根据短文内容，从下框的A—F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（注意：E涂AB；F涂AC）
    A．The effects of flu and its symptoms
    B．Types of virus to cause flu
    C．People’s attitudes toward flu
    D．The cause of flu
    E．The way that flu spreads
    F．The methods to fight flu
     
    61.
    Flu (which is short for influenza) is a highly infectious disease，the cause of which is a very tiny organism known as a virus．Several types of flu are recognized，depending on the type of virus that causes the disease．
     
     
    62．
    Flu Can often cause problems in breathing，and general infection of the lung．With elderly and weak people，these added complications often produce serious results．The virus, if not properly treated, can weaken the body so that patient may develop more serious illnesses，such as pneumonia and bronchitis．When people catch flu，they often complain of a headache or a sore throat．They usually have a fever and their temperature rises from the normal 37℃ (98.6℉) to about 39.5℃ (103℉)．Sometimes a person has a dry hacking cough and aching joints．
     
     
    63．
    Today many doctors use drugs that fight the disease．And scientists have also developed vaccines that help to prevent it．If the patient has proper treatment，and complete rest in bed，the virus is normally beaten within a week to ten days．
     
     
    64．
    How does flu spread so quickly? When the infected person breathes out．sneezes or coughs，he gives out droplets of moisture in the breath from his mouth or nose．These remain in the air for some time．Flu viruses are present in these droplets．If a person sneezes in a crowd or poorly ventilated place，such as a lift，viruses can easily be carried from all infected person to a healthy person．This is known as droplet infection．The healthy person will breathe in the viruses given out by the infected person．
     
     
    65．
    There are three main types of virus that cause flu，which are called type A, B and C. Type A is the most powerful of the three，and undergoes minor changes in its genetic material every few years．The new form of the virus is called a strain．The new strain is not affected by the current vaccines. It is said to be“resistant”to them．So doctors must be continually producing new vaccines to combat the new strains of virus．

    B
    On the last day of his life, my dog Otto spent that morning of spring napping in the garden. This was always one of his favorite things to do, even before the days when he was too old and too weak to get out of a car by himself.
    I probably would have started crying over Otto right then, if my two other little dogs hadn't suddenly raced past. Larry, who was a puppy, got knocked into Otto, then licked Otto's ear, and that got Otto excited, and Otto barked and tried to stand up again, but it was hard for him.
    Soon it was time for me to drive to see Steve, our vet.
    When Steve gave Otto the first shot, it made him woozy (眩晕的). Otto wandered over to where Steve and I were sitting and settled down between us. He has always liked to touch everyone in his pack, if possible, while he sleeps.
    After Steve gave him the last shot and Otto stopped breathing, he didn't look like Otto anymore. He looked like an old gray-brown piece of beat-up carpet, and I suddenly realized what bad shape he'd been in for a long, long time. I wondered if he'd been in much more pain than I knew. Wondering made me feel even worse.
    The week after Otto died was not good. Every morning when I walked Larry and Sticky in the neighborhood, somebody would come up and say they had heard about Otto and they were sorry. They were all Otto's friends and some of them cried. Others, like Debbie who lives on my street, reminded me about how, even at the end. Otto would stand between her twins' stroller (婴儿车) and the street when the garbage truck went by. "Like it was his job to protect them," she marveled.
    Otto has left us, but his memory lives on.
    60. How did the author feel when Otto was napping in the garden?
    A. She felt like crying.                      B. She thought life was beautiful.           C. She found spring was wonderful.            D. She was relieved.
    61. According to the passage, how did the dog die?
    A. He had an accident on the street.          B. He died naturally.                  C. He was made to die by a vet.                   D. He starved.
    62. What can we know about Otto?
    A. He was already too old to bark.                            B. He liked people to keep him company.     C. He died a very painful death.                       D. He was protected by the neighbours.
    63. We can see from the passage that Sticky is a ______.
    A. cat                 B. dog              C. child            D. Neighbour

    D
    Have you ever known a married couple that just didn’t seem as though they should fit together—yet they are both happy in the marriage, and you can’t figure out why?
    I know of one couple: the husband is a burly(魁梧的)ex-athlete who, in addition to being a successful salesman, coaches Little League, is active in his Rotary Club and plays golf every Saturday with friends. Meanwhile, his wife is petite, quiet and a complete homebody. She doesn’t even like to go out to dinner.
    What mysterious force drives us into the arms of one person, while pushing us away from another who might appear equally desirable to any unbiased(没有偏见的) observer?
    Of the many factors influencing our idea of the perfect mate, one of the most telling, according to John Money, professor emeritus(荣誉退休的) of medical psychology and pediatrics(儿科学) at Johns Hopkins University, is what he calls our “love map”—a group of messages encoded in our brains that describes our likes and dislikes. It shows our preferences in hair and eye color, in voice, smell, body build. It also records the kind of personality that appeals to us, whether it’s the warm and friendly type or the strong, silent type.
    In short, we fall for and pursue those people who most clearly fit our love map. And this love map is largely determined in childhood. By age eight, the pattern for our ideal mate has already begun to float around in our brains.
    When I lecture, I often ask couples in the audience what drew them to their dates or mates. Answers range from “She’s strong and independent” and “I go for redheads” to “I love his sense of humor” and “That crooked smile, that’s what did it.”
    I believe what they say. But I also know that if I were to ask those same men and women to describe their mothers, there would be many similarities between their ideal mates and their moms. Yes, our mothers—the first real love of our lives—write a significant portion of our love map.
    51. What does the underlined word “petite” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
    A. Clever.              B. Little.               C. Energetic.         D. Lovely.
    52. What is “love map” according to John Money?
    A. One of the many factors influencing our idea of the perfect mate.
    B. Our preferences in hair and eye color, in voice, smell, body build.
    C. A group of messages encodes in our brains that describes our likes and dislikes.
    D. Something that appeals to us, whether it’s the warm and friendly type.
    53. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A. By age eight, the pattern for our ideal mate has already begun to float around in our brains.
    B. We fall for and pursue those people who most clearly fit our love map.
    C. Love map is largely determined in childhood.
    D. “She’d strong and independent” is the most important reason that drew the couple together.
    54. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
    A. The author believes what the questioned couple said.
    B. Our mothers play a very important role in the forming of our “love map”.
    C. Our mothers are the first real love in our lives.
    D. There would be many similarities between ideal mates and moms.
    55. What would be the best title of this passage?
    A. The “love map” in our mind.
    B. What mysterious force drives us into the arms of one person?
    C. The real reason why we choose that special someone.
    D. Our mothers write a significant portion of our love map.

    In 1891, a man named James Naismith was teaching physical education at a school in Springfield. One long, cold winter, he had to create a game for 18 young men to play indoors. So the Canadian-born Naismith wrote some rules.
    Rule number one: “The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands.” Two: “The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands (never with the fist).”
    In all, there were 13 rules— the original rules of basketball. James Naismith is recognized as the inventor of basketball.
    The National Association of Basketball Coaches established the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, in the northeastern United States in 1949. It opened in 1968 at Springfield College. A new, larger building opened in 1985. And, four years ago, the Hall of Fame moved into a newer building, just south of its former home. The new building increased the size by almost one hundred percent. 
    Honors ring in Basketball Hall of Fame.
    The Basketball Hall of Fame is a museum and entertainment center. It combines history with technology. And it tries to capture the energy and excitement of the game. In the Center Court area, for example, visitors can play interactive games of basketball and take part in skill competitions.
    The Hall of Fame explores basketball at every level of the game. Visitors learn about professional basketball in the United States and other countries. They learn about women’s teams and how the game is played at the college level. They also learn about basketball for disabled people.
    The Hall of Fame honors the best players, teams, coaches and officials in basketball. Earlier this month, six more honorees joined the more than 250 people in the Hall of Fame. The six new members are Geno Auriemma, Charles Barkley, Joe Dumars, Sandro Gamba, David Gavitt and Dominique Wilkins.
    40. James Naismith is considered to be the forerunner of basketball mainly because ____.
    A. he discovered the first basketball                
    B. he created the earliest basketball games
    C. he set up the Basketball Hall of Fame
    D. he organized the earliest basketball games
    41. From the passage, we can infer that ____.
    A. the Hall of Fame only honors the best basketball players
    B. James Naismith was employed as a coach in the Hall of Fame
    C. visitors can compete with the professional players in the hall
    D. a variety of basketball games are developed by the Hall of Fame
    42. James Naismith made some rules in order to ____.
    A. organize an indoor basketball game  
    B. improve physical education at school
    C. train his students for the Hall of Fame
    D. invent the game of basketball for the young
    43. The passage talks mainly about ____.
    A. the Basketball Hall of Fame         B. the first basketball games
    C. the original 13 basketball rules   D. the players in the Hall of Fame
