         Someday a stranger will read your email without your permission or scan the Website
    you've visited,or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or
    cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
         In fact,it's likely that some of these things have already happened to you.Who would watch
    you without your permission? It might be a spouse,a girl friend,a marketing company,a boss,
    a cop or a criminal.Whoever it is,they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen-the
    _21st_century_replacement_of_being_caught_naked.
         Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy,that it's important to reveal yourself to friends,
    family and lovers in stages,at appropriate times.But few boundaries remain.The digital bread
    crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are,
    where you are and what you like.In some cases,a simple Google search can reveal what you
    think.Like it or not,increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
         The key question is: Does that matter?
         For many Americans,the answer apparently is "no"．
         When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy,most say they are concerned about losing
    it.A survey found a strong bad feeling about privacy,with 60 percent of respondents saying they
    feel their privacy is "slipping away,and that bothers me"．
         But people say one thing and do another.Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors
    in an effort to preserve their privacy.Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站)
    to avoid using the EZPass system that can track automobile movements.And few turn down
    supermarket loyalty cards.Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that
    reveal people will give away personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their
    hands on a pitiful 50centoff coupon (优惠券)．
         But privacy does matter-at least sometimes.It's like health: When you have it,you don't notice
    it.Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.
    1．What does the author mean by saying "the 21st century replacement of being caught naked"?
    A．People's personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.
    B．In the 21st century people try every means to look into others' secrets.
    C．People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.
    D．Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.
    2．What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?
    A．Friends should open their hearts to each other.
    B．Friends should always be faithful to each other.
    C．There should be a distance even between friends.
    D．There should be fewer arguments between friends.
    3．Why does the author say "we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"?
    A．Modern society has finally developed into an open society.
    B．People leave traces around when using modern technology.
    C．There are always people who are curious about others' affairs.
    D．Many search engines benefit from giving away people's  identities.
    4．What do most Americans do as for privacy protection?
    A．They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.
    B．They use various loyalty cards for business transactions (交易)．
    C．They rely more and more on electronic devices.
    D．They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.
    5．According to the passage,privacy is like health because ________.
    A．people will make every effort to keep it
    B．its importance is rarely understood
    C．it is something that can easily be lost
    D．people don't treasure it until they lose it

    Ⅲ 阅读（共两节。满分40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和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    A
    Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word cold. For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blooded people act in merciless ways. They may do brutal things to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill for no reason, and with no emotion, as if taking someone’s life meant nothing. Cold can affect other parts of the body. The feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet, if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression -- to get cold feet -- that has nothing to do with cold or your feet.
    The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.
    Cold can also affect your shoulder. You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant, cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.
    A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.
    Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise, that he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.
    41. The passage is intended to tell us that______.
    A. cold weather has a great effect on human bodies
    B. many English expressions contain the word cold
    C. cold is a word closely linked with human emotions
    D. the word cold has many different meanings in English
    42. The underlined word brutal in paragraph 1 most probably means _______.
    A. impolite      B. illegal      C. cruel          D. extreme
    43. Which of the following expressions can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others?
    A. Cold-blooded.                 B. To get cold feet.
    C. A cold shoulder.                D. A cold fish.
    44. You can say Tom ______ if the teacher gives all the boys except him a pen as a prize.
    A. is given the cold shoulder
    B. is left out in the cold
    C. has got cold feet
    D. is murdered by a cold-blooded killer
    45. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that ______.
    A. all the expressions containing the word cold have a negative meaning
    B. all the expressions containing the word cold have something to do with cold
    C. People who show no human emotions or feelings have cold blood
    D. Many parts of the human body can be badly affected by cold.

    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
    Bargaining is an art at Xiu Shui Market in Beijing. The following tips can help you get good offers for most things you buy, especially for clothing.
    Be aware that the starting price offered by the seller is at least 40% over the general price acceptable. It’s usually 80% over. It can be up to 150% over. So, always try to drop the seller’s offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price.
    Have an idea of the value of what you want. You can consult your Chinese friends or the hotel staff about the price. You may not be able to get the lowest prices stated at Xiu Shui Market, especially on weekends or festival seasons when there are lots of tourists around.
    Do walk away once you’ve offered your final price while the seller is not ready to accept. If you get called back, you know you are close. If you do not get called back, go to a similar stall(摊位) and try again with a slightly higher price. Note that if you’ve made a deal, you am then expected to buy the item.
    You will help your chances at getting a good price by being confident, patient, and friendly. Treat it as a kind of game to get the most out of it—getting angry or rode will never help to bring the price down.
    56. When can you get the lowest price at Xiu Shui Market according to the passage?
    A. When the sellers are busy.                       B. On crowded weekends.
    C. When there’re few buyers.                       D. On festival seasons.
    57. The underlined part “a deal” (in Paragraph 4) most probably means      .
    A. an appointment with someone                    B. an agreement in business
    C. a choice in shopping                            D. a delivery of goods
    58. ff the seller accepts your final price, you should       .
    A. walk away and wait for the seller to call you back
    B. go on bargaining for a lower price
    C. go to a similar stall for a better price
    D. pay the seller for what you want
    59. From the tips we can learn that the seller’s offer may be affected by       .
    A. the buyer’s manners    B. the seller’s position   C. Chinese friends     D. hotel staff

         So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do
    for which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It
    is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught
    directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible."
         Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function
    of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most

    scrutiny. If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will
    aid the child in knowledge. Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions."Make learning to read
    easily, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."
         When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill
    them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is
