三、阅读理解（共15小题，每题2分，满分30分）

A

Did you ever hear of “marriage by capture”？ Marriage by capture， also called bride kidnapping （绑架）， has been practiced throughout history and around the world and goes back to primitive culture when tribal groups were hostile （敌视的） to each other. While trying to conquer a hostile tribe， the groom kidnapped the woman he wished to marry. The groom usually brought along a fellowwarrior as his “best man” to help kidnap the bridetobe.

The bridesmaid， or the maid of honor， and the honeymoon are also relics （遗产） of bride kidnapping. In the old days， the bridesmaids were the women who helped the bride to get captured by the groom she wanted. Today a bridesmaid is one of the women who attend to the bride at a wedding and is usually a sister or close friend of the bride. The practice of having a honeymoon goes back to the time when the groom had to go into hiding with his kidnapped bride to avoid being discovered by her relatives. Today many newlyweds still keep their honeymoon plans a secret from their relatives.

The custom of marriage by capture may have gradually led to marriage by purchase. In order to avoid tribal warfare， the groom offered to pay a bride price to the brides parents as compensation for their loss. The bride price is not the same as the dowry， which is the property a bride brings to her husband upon the marriage to help establish the new household. Giving a bride price is still practiced in many Asian countries.

The practice of “giving the bride away” in the modern wedding ceremony originated from the time when the brides parents arranged her marriage and gave or sold her to the groom. Today at some wedding ceremonies， the minister may ask， “Who gives this woman to this man in marriage？” To show his approval， the father will reply， “I do” and then give his daughter away to the groom by putting her hand into the grooms hand.

In the modern world， marriage by capture is widely considered a sex crime， though it is still practiced in some cultures， and marriage by purchase has almost died away. The modern version of marriage is marriage by mutual love. In most countries today， marriage is governed by civil law. Although most couples celebrate their wedding in the presence of a priest， rabbi， or minister， depending on their religious beliefs， they must have the official marriage license to make their marriage valid.

The modern marriage makes good use of many old traditions as symbols， making it colorful and romantic. In the United States and many other countries， the new bonds between a married couple are frequently represented by some old practices， such as the white wedding grown， the bride being carried across the threshold （门槛） of the new home， the flower girls， the exchange of wedding rings， the joining of hands， the throwing of rice， grain， or nuts， the wedding cake， and the bridal kiss.

36. The function of the second paragraph is to explain .

A. a possible solution to a problem raised in the article

B. the origins of the maids of honor and the honeymoon

C. who should be bridesmaids and how long a honeymoon should last

D. why the maids of honor and the honeymoon are critical for newlyweds

B. today the old practice of “giving the bride away” still exists but runs differently

C. all of the old wedding practices are replaced by new ones

D. the practice of “giving the bride away” is considered illegal in most countries

A. giving the bride away

The unique way someone walks can betray who they are with almost as much accuracy （准确性） as fingerprints， scientists have found.

Researchers have developed a method that can identify a unique “pressure signature” in their footsteps. By analyzing more than 100，000 pressure points created by peoples feet as they walk， the scientists were able to pinpoint 70 key patterns that are unique to an individual. They hope the system could provide a new form of “biometric” identification that could work alongside retinal （视网膜的） scanning and fingerprints at airports. The only trouble is that the system can only identify people if they are not wearing shoes.

Dr John Goulermas， an electrical engineer at the University of Liverpool， said they were hoping to develop the system so it will work when people are wearing shoes too. He said， “This is more complicated as the stiffness of the sole and the treads （脚底的硬度和踩踏的强度） can change things， but it should still be possible.” The researchers asked 104 volunteers to walk across boards with thousands of highly sensitive pressure sensors. They recorded ten steps per person and then analyzed how each persons step changed to produce a unique profile for each person. When asked to then identify individuals from their footsteps， the system was correct 99.6 per cent of the time.

Researchers have been investigating the unique aspects of gait （步态） for some time and many attempts have been made to use computer recognition software to detect individuals. Dr Todd Pataky， who led the research at Liverpool University but has since moved to Shinshu University in Tokida， Japan， added， “If we see a family member or a friend from a distance we can identify that person based on their walk. Our feet are the only parts of our body that interact with the environment during walking so it is logical that an individuals unique movement patterns are transmitted via the feet to the ground. We are currently working on other checking whether other information can be unraveled （分解） from foot pressures， including things like gender， age， and exercise levels， but we expect that these characteristics will not be as well classified.”

40. According to the text， the aim of this research is to .

A. work out a possible solution to foot problems

B. try out a system to improve peoples health

C. identify who someone is from his / her footsteps

D. develop a new computer recognition software

41. We can infer from the passage that .

A. the system can identify people under any conditions

B. family members and friends have the same way of walking

C. other information will possibly be known from the foot pressures

D. the system can ensure safety in any public places

42. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage？

A. How You Walk Can Betray You

B. New Technology Has Been Invented

C. Two Scientists Have Got a Good Idea

D. Character Has Something to Do With Footsteps

C

BEIJING—Eye doctors in the capital are expressing confidence in laser （激光） eye surgery， or LASIK， despite the safety concerns that a Taiwan specialist raised this week. Ray Tsai， an ophthalmologist and LASIK pioneer， told Taiwan media on Tuesday that he plans to stop performing the surgeries after learning that some patients who had undergone it had experienced sudden losses of vision and had developed other complications （并发症）.

Industry analysts estimate that 1.5 million LASIK eye operations are performed on the mainland a year， each costing at least 6，000 yuan （$953）. Wang Enpu， dean of the ophthalmology department of the Air Force General Hospital in Beijing， said no countries or regions in the world have stopped LASIK treatments， the effectiveness of which has been proved. “As long as surgeons follow the correct procedures， Ive never seen a single patient come back because of complications caused by the surgery，” said Wang. He said LASIK is known to lead to fewer complications than other types of eye surgery. He also said the technology used in the procedure has improved during the past 10 years. Even so， he said patients who undergo the surgery may have to wait a fairly long time afterward for their corneas to heal. He also said that those parts of their eyes will forever be weaker and more susceptible to damage. “Anyone has to be more careful for the rest of his life with a part of the body that has undergone surgery，” he said. “Most hospitals offer free eye checkups for a year after the surgery.”

The US Food and Drug Administration says LASIK， like most operations， involves risks. It also said patients should be made aware of the complications that can arise from a treatment before they undergo it. At the same time， the administration said most US patients who had undergone LASIK express satisfaction with the surgerys results.

Chen Bang， board director of Air Eye Hospital Group， a leading ophthalmological institution in China， said in his micro blog that his hospital had performed the surgery on about 550，000 eyes and the incidence （发病率） of postoperation adverse reactions was only 0.6 percent. “Doctors in China must also pass special exams to be qualified to operate laser machines. Despite that precaution， there have been irregularities，” he said. “Some unqualified doctors also practice the surgery and some perform it on unsuitable patients to make a profit.” “And the devices accuracy can greatly affect the outcome of the procedure，” said Yu Jing， an ophthalmologist with No 10 Peoples Hospital of Tongji University in Shanghai. “The new devices are expensive，” she said. “Before 2004， there were many private and small hospitals competing in the market. Its much better now.”

43. Which of the following statements about LASLK is TRUE？

A. The LASLK patients will not develop any complications.

B. The patients corneas will recover immediately after the operation.

C. LASIK is safer than other types of eye surgery， according to Wang Enpu.

D. There are 1.5 million LASIK eye operations in America per year.

44. The news is mainly about .

A. the different complications of LASIK

B. the introduction to LASIK procedure

C. some great eye doctors in LASIK

D. the safety concerns about LASIK

45. Some patients developed complications for the following reasons EXCEPT that .

A. they hadnt been warned of the danger before the operation

B. some doctors performing the operations were not qualified

C. some patients were unsuitable for this operation

D. the devices were not good enough in many private and small hospitals

46. In the second paragraph， the underlined words can be replaced by .

A. easily impressed by

B. likely to suffer from

C. adaptable to

D. capable of

One fine afternoon I was walking along Fifth Avenue when I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair of socks. I turned into the first sock shop that caught my eye， and a boy clerk who could not have been more than seventeen years old came forward. “What can I do for you， sir？” “I wish to buy a pair of socks.” His eyes glowed. There was a note of passion in his voice. “Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks？” I had not been aware of that， as my entrance had been accidental. “Come with me，” said the boy. I followed him to the rear of the shop， and he began to take down from the shelves box after box， displaying their contents.

“Hold on， lad， I am going to buy only one pair！” “I know that，” said he. “but I want you to see how beautiful these are. Arent they wonderful？” I became far more interested in him than in the socks. I looked at him in amazement. “My friend，” said I. “if you can keep this up， if this is not merely the enthusiasm that comes from novelty （新奇性）， from having a new job， if you can keep up this zeal and excitement day after day， in ten years you will own every sock in the United States.”

My amazement at his pride and joy in salesmanship will be easily understood by all who read this article. In many shops the customer has to wait for someone to wait upon him. And when finally some clerk does deign to notice you， you are made to feel as if you were interrupting him. Either he is absorbed in profound （深刻的） thought in which he hates to be disturbed or he is skylarking with a girl clerk and you feel like apologizing for thrusting yourself into such intimacy.

He displays no interest either in you or in the goods he is paid to sell. Yet possibly that very clerk who is now so cold began his career with hope and enthusiasm. The daily grind （苦差事） was too much for him； the novelty wore off； his only pleasures were found outside of working hours. He became a mechanical salesman. After being mechanical， he became incompetent （不称职的）； then he saw younger clerks who had more enthusiasm in their work， promoted over him. He became sour. That was the last stage. His usefulness was over.

I have observed this sad decline in the lives of so many men in so many occupations that I have come to the conclusion that the surest road to failure is to do things mechanically.

47. What does the underlined word “that” in the first paragraph probably refer to？

A. I turned into the first sock shop.

B. The boys shop was the finest to buy socks.

C. The boy led me to the rear of the shop.

D. The boy displayed socks to me enthusiastically.

48. What can be inferred from the third paragraph？

A. The salesmen are often interrupted by customers.

B. Customers should wait to be waited upon.

C. The salesmen are good at profound thought.

D. In many shops customers are treated coldly.

49. Which of the following is NOT the reason for clerks lack of passion？

A. Daily affairs are too much for them.

B. Their novelty gradually wear off.

C. They have fallen in love with others.

D. They cant find pleasures in work.

50. Which of the following summarizes the text best？

A. A boy full of passion.

B. A fine sock shop.

C. A way to keep enthusiastic.

D. A secret of success—the essential passion.

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格处填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

In a consumerdriven society that broadcasts values that dont reflect what you believe， how can fathers teach values to their kids？ Here are ten ideas to help you：

Tell them your life stories and teach through your stories

Kids love to hear stories about your childhood. Weave in some moral dilemmas and youve got great opportunities to teach values to them. It certainly beats lecturing your kids！

Live your own life according to your values—walk the talk

Kids learn by imitating （模仿）， especially at a young age. They are very good at seeing if what you say and what you do are matching up. Dont give them confusing signals； follow your own values every moment.

Expose them to your religion or faith

It seems especially important today to let them know that theyre not alone. Providing your kids with a community of faith will strengthen their values.

Pay attention to who else might be teaching values to your kids

Get to know your childs teachers， coaches， relatives， etc. Anyone who spends time with your kids may be influencing them. Know their values and beliefs as well.

Ask your kids questions that will stimulate dialogue about values

Telling them what values they should have wont always be effective， especially when your kids get older. Asking them “curious” questions will allow discussions that will eventually lead to values. “What did you think about that fight，” may be more effective than， “He shouldnt have started that fight！”

Talk to them about values in a relaxed and easy way

Nothing will turn your kids off more than teaching values to them after theyve made a bad mistake！ Talk to them when everyones relaxed， and do it in a light， conversational manner. Theyll be much more likely to be listening rather than tuning you out.

Read them fairy tales when theyre younger

Fairy tales arouse kids imagination and can easily lead to a discussion of values. Kids will learn the most concerning values when theyre excited about the topic.

Involve your kids in art， activities， or helping others while limiting TV and video games

Kids learn values when they experience them. Allow them to experience helping others and involve them in activities that will expand their creativity.

Have frequent conversations about values in your household

This lets your kids know that its important and its not just something you talk about when they do something wrong.

Have high expectations for your kids value systems

Kids will tend to rise to the level of expectation you have for them. Their value system will often reflect yours if the expectations are high.

五、One possible version：

Dear John，

I can understand how you feel and I would like to give my opinion about making friends on line. The whole world has been connected through the Internet. It provides us opportunities to get acquainted with people who we probably will never have a chance to see. Also we can learn more about the wonderful world so that we can improve our social experience. In addition， we can exchange opinions about common interests. However， each coin has two sides. Making friends online is a waste of time. Well pay less attention to our study or even neglect our studies. The world on the Internet is virtual and it is easier for us to be cheated， especially for the young students who have little social experience.

Personally speaking， we should take making onlinefriends into careful consideration. We are supposed to develop the ability of distinguishing right from wrong. Whats more， real friendship must be based on the real world interactions. We should make friends with people who share similar qualities and interests. （152words）

I hope my advice is of some help to you.

Yours，

David
