    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；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、D）中选出最佳选项。
    A
    Mr. Brozina is a single father and an elementary school librarian who reads aloud for a living. When his daughter, Kristen, hit fourth grade, he proposed The Streak: to see if they could read together for 100 straight bedtimes without missing once.
    When The Streak reached 100, they celebrated with a pancake breakfast, and Kristen whispered, "I think we should try for 1,000 nights."
    Mr. Brozina was delighted, but what he was thinking was, a thousand nights?! "I thought, we'll never do it," he recalled. "And then we got to 1,000, and we said, 'How can we stop?' "
    For 3,218 nights (and some mornings, if Mr. Brozina was coming home too late to read). The Streak went on. It progressed from picture books to middle-school classics to Harry Potter, Agatha Christie, Dickens and Shakespeare, continuing on, until Kristen's first day of college.
    In those nine-plus years, they survived many close calls. When Kristen was still in elementary school, her father went to Washington. "The phone rang at 10:45 at the hotel and it was Kristen," Mr. Brozina recalled. "She said, 'Dad, we forgot The Streak!' Fortunately, I always traveled with several books and we read right then and there."
    This spring, Kristen graduated from Rowan' University. She has performed as you'd expect for a product of The Streak, an English major with a 3.94 average. She also won two national writing contests, was an editor of the humor arid literary publications and won the annual English department award.
    56. According to the passage, Mr. Brozina and his daughter read together for          .
    A. 100 bedtimes                           B. 1000 nights                          C. over nine years                           D. nearly 3000 nights and some mornings
    57. In the passage, the underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.
    A. the period of time for reading together    B. me children's book                    C. the special night                      C. the school work
    58. How has Kristen benefited from reading with her father?
    A. She has grown closer to her father.        
    B. She has become a school librarian herself. 
    C. She has performed well at university.     
    D. She has won many reading awards.

    阅读下面短文，根据第58至第60小题的具体要求，尽可能简要回答问题，并将答案转写到答题卡上。
    Playing is serous business for children. In fact, it’s what they do best! Ask them why they do it, and kids will probably say, “Because it’s fun!” But it’s much more than that. It’s also good for them.
    Studies show that from birth babies begin learning through play. They use their five senses to get know their new world. Touching allows them to discover how different things feel. Brightly colored toys and clothing help develop a baby’s sense of sight. 
    When small children choose which toy to play with, they begin developing their abilities in making decisions. 
    Children love toys that allow them to use their imagination. Sometimes an empty box is more fun than a high-tech toy. That’s because a box can become anything a child imagines it to be. 
    Crayons, paints and Play-Doh(彩色塑泥) are also good because they allow children to create. Traditional building blocks teach important pre-math skills like problem-solving. 
    Playing doesn’t become any less important once children start school. Many valuable lessons about life are learned on the school playground. Kids learn how to share, take turns and play by the rules.
    58  What can children do best in their childhood?  (回答词数不超过1个)
    _____________________________________________________________________________
    59  What do colored toys and clothing help develop?  (回答词数不超过5个)

    60  Children like toys to develop their imagination. Do you think so?  (回答词数不超过5个)

    Section D
    Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the possible fewest words
    If you ever felt like your doctor was trying to push you out of the examination room before you had a chance to explain your condition you are not alone.
    A new study from the Mayo Clinic shows that most people agree on what makes a good doctor and it definitely isn’t one who hurries through a visit.
    A doctor’s skills can affect a patient’s emotional response and recovery very positively or very negatively, a research shows. Based on the new study, which surveyed 192 patients, it can be concluded that a model doctor should be confident, sympathetic, kind, personal forthright, respectful and thorough.
    “What every patient wants is a doctor who pays them personal attention” said James Li, a doctor at the Mayo Clinic Division of Allergic Diseases Li is helping to develop programs for teaching doctors how to strengthen their interactions with patients.
    “It’s really the duty of the medical community to design a health care system, so that doctors are able to exhibit those qualities for the good of the patients,” he said.
    Many patients nowadays are directed to urgent care facilities or , for lack of good insurance, forced to go to emergency rooms for problems that used to be handled right away. In either case, wait time can be hours and actual face time with a doctor might be just seconds.
    “The days when doctors remembered their patients’ names might no longer exit , but medical schools can  fill in this crack  by adding in the seven behavioral things into their training.” Li said.
    “If patients have opportunities to tell their stories, to be asked questions and have the doctors describe understanding of what has been shared , it leaves them feeling like they’re heard ” Lisaid.
    (Note : Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)
    81．When on duty, a doctor’s right behavior is___________.
    _________________________________________________________________________________
    82．What is the guarantee of exhibiting doctor’s good qualities?
    _________________________________________________________________________________
    83．By “fill in this crack”(underlined ) , the writer means_______.
    _________________________________________________________________________________
    84．What is this passage mainly concerned about?
    _________________________________________________________________________________

    B
    I am a person who does not like to wait in line. However, I realize anger will get me nowhere. Considering this, I have decided to turn my frustration(沮丧) to productive ends. In short, I am constantly hunting around for what I call “waiting in line books”, especially those that are designed for being read in snippets(文摘), so there is no extended story line to lose track of. Another requirement is that they be small enough to slip neatly into my back pocket.
    The other day I went to the supermarket and was surprised to see that the place was crowded with shoppers, but no worries. I parked my cart behind five others and pulled out my vocabulary builder. Within a few seconds I was totally absorbed, and rather than seething at the 15 minutes it took to advance to the cashier, I learned that nankeen is “a yellow cotton cloth”, or, in the plural, “trousers made of it”. The acquisition of new words led me into a place where I would otherwise not have enjoyed myself so much.
    Once, at a yard sale, I found two small pocket books titled Sidelights on American History (copyright 1919). The seller approached as I looked through the pages. “You want them?”
    “First I need to see if they fit,” I told him. He watched as I slipped Volume 1 into my back pocket. “Perfect. I’ll take them.”
    10 minutes later, I was at the carwash, where the waiting line was six vehicles long. Thank goodness for my books! By the time my car was being soaped and power sprayed, I had learned about the Annapolis Convention, the early life of Aaron Bur.
    The more the world demands that I wait, the more I learn from my waiting library. In fact, I have become so fond of my “waiting” books that my spirits actually rise when I see a long line I must stand in. It is most likely I would be regarded as a bookish, lonely soul. But little would they realize that I was enjoying the company of those “waiting” books. And just as Disraeli said, “Everything comes if a man will only wait”.
    60. When buying a book the writer _____.
    A. has his own rules                        B. prefers books of small size
    C. chooses books by famous writers            D. has no particular appetite
    61. The truth behind the story is that the writer wants to tell us _____.
    A. reading is not only important but also practical
    B. one is expected to learn to adjust oneself rather than complain
    C. reading is the best way to kill time
    D. knowledge is power and wisdom is fortune
    62. The underlined expression in paragraph 3 “seething at” probably means _____.
    A. angry at                   B. delighted at              C. surprised at        D. excited at
    63. The sentence in Paragraph 2 “there is no extended story line to lose track of” shows that _____.
    A. what the writer reads is not difficult to understand
    B. the writer likes to read interesting stories while waiting in line
    C. the writer can stop wherever needed with no plot to leave out
    D. the writer does not necessarily reach his understanding

    B
    When I was a boy, my father told me that he could do anything he wanted to. Dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city. And so he did.
    When I was 16，Dad looked closely at the violin I played and announced that he want to make one. He read about violinmaking，and then became a violinmaker at the age of 43. He bought the tools and materials，opened a small store and set Mom up as the shopkeeper，while he worked at a local company. He retired from the company 17 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments.
    Dad often guessed why the Stradivarius violins sound so beautiful. Some experts claimed that it was the unique varnish(油漆)that gave those instruments their beautiful sound. Dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnish—if that were the answer.
    One of Dad’s friends asked him once which kind of wood was used to make violins. When Dad explained that the top was made of spruce(云杉)，his friend said that he had an old piece of spruce Dad might be interested in.
    He worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him. It proved to be a superior violin and it would become Dad’s masterpiece. He was convinced that the secret of the Stradivarius sound was in the wood itself.
    Later，the instrument was stolen. Dad’s spirit was broken by the robbery, and he stopped making instruments. But he kept the music shop until he was 80 years old, selling guitars and violins.
    My father has been gone for 14 years now. The violin has been missing for more than 25 years. Somewhere a musician is playing a late-20th-century violin with an excellent tone. The owner today may never understand why this ordinary-looking violin sounds so much like Stradivarius.    
    45. The author mentions his father’s developing color prints____________.
    A. to show that his father’s real interest was not in making violins
    B. to prove that his father could do anything he wanted to
    C. to give an example proving that his father was an inventor
    D. to describe the real thing that made the author believe his father
    46. What did the author's father think about Stradivarius violins?
    A. The varnish was different from the others.
    B. The way of making them was special.
    C. The wood of the violins was special.
    D. They could only be analyzed by chemists.
    47. From the underlined sentence, we can learn that the author’s father________.
    A. 1iked the violin very much
    B. got crazy after this happened
    C. 1ost interest in instruments
    D. didn't want to become famous
    48. We can infer from the last paragraph that the author __________ .
    A. really hates the thief
    B. misses his father a 1ot
    C. really wants to play the violin
    D. wonders who’s playing the violin now
