第三部分 阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）

A

Dr Wiseman started “The laugh lab” project in September 2010. It is the largest study of humor. Many people are invited to log on the laugh lab website, give a few personal details, tell their favorite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people.

The project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the worlds funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose. The researchers want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between men and womens sense of humor. The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh.

This is a subject that has long interested psychologists and philosophers. Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects us to do and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves.

By May 2011 over 10, 000 jokes had been submitted（提交）. This gave the scientists enough evidence（证据）to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women do have different senses of humor.

“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which men and women use humor,” said Dr Wiseman. “Men use humor to appear superior（优越）to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play.”

Researchers also found that there was really such a thing as a national sense of humor. The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humor”. And the French like their jokes short and sharp:

“Youre a high-priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $ 500?”

“Yes. Whats the second question?”

The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humor. But the survey found that Germans were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other country. Perhaps that proves the point: Is this joke funny? I dont know, but lets say yes, just to be safe.

Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Computers already seem like they can do everything. At least they should leave the funny thing to us.

51. Whats the purpose of “The laugh lab” project?

A. To know what makes people laugh.

B. To find the funniest joke in European countries.

C. To know what funny people are from different nations and cultures.

D. To find out the differences between men and womens sense of humor.

52. The writer gave the examples of the British, the French and the Germans to ＿＿＿ .

A. prove that the Germans have no sense of humor

B. prove that the British people have a sense of “toilet humor”

C. show that the French people have a better sense of humor

D. show that people from different nations have different senses of humor

53. What is the main idea of the 4th and 5th paragraphs?

A. Men and women have similar senses of humor.

B. Men and women have different senses of humor.

C. Scientists have collected enough evidence to make conclusions.

D. About 10,000 jokes have been submitted from September 2010 to May 2011.

54. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Most of the people all over the world are completely honest.

B. Psychologists and philosophers take interest in the project.

C. People tell the truth about themselves only when they laugh.

D. Ordinary people are not interested in the project at all.

B

“I was surprised the train was still there, to tell you the truth,” said Christian Riddle, 28, slightly out of breath and looking more than a little easy, as he leaned into a leather seat. Missing the train would have meant a half-hour wait for Mr Riddle, who considered the secret minute policy “pretty cool.” For a tourist rushing to catch a train, a minute can mean the difference between dinner with the family and food in the microwave.

What most passengers do not realize is that their minute is already there. Every train that starts from New York City — about 900 a day — leaves a minute later than planned. If the timetable says 8:14, the train will actually leave at 8:15. The 12:48 is really the 12:49. In other words, if you think you have only a minute to get that train — well, relax. You have two.

The minute, published only in private timetables for employees, is meant as a period for people who need the extra time to get onto the train. “If everyone knows they get an extra minute, theyre going to waste time,” explained Anders, a spokeswoman for the Railroad. Told of this article, Ms Anders laughed. “Dont blow our cover!” she said.

The railroad industry exactly helped invent the idea of standard time, and time zones（时区）were established in the United States in the 1880s, 35 years before they were written into the law. Although most tourists knew their train would start by the accurate（准确的）minute, the trains quickly made up the minute: at all other stops.

The kind minute does not exist at railroads in Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, or San Francisco. But in New York, railroad fans said, the secret minute dates back ten years.

55. Which is the writer most probably in favor of ?

A. The writer is strongly against the secret minute.

B. The secret minute is necessary for tourists.

C. The secret minute should be called off for tourists.

D. The secret minute should be kept only in New York.

56. What do we know from the text?

A. Trains from New York will leave later than the timetable.

B. The secret minute had been written into American law.

C. The secret minute still exists at the railroads in Chicago.

D. All American railroad timetables include the secret minute.

57. What is the best title for the text?

A. Riddles train experience.

B. The advantage of the secret minute.

C. The history of the secret minute.

D. The secret New York minute.

C

I didnt have many friends growing up. I didnt realize what I had missed until I met Alicia. We met in a history class in my freshman year of college. The first time we hung out, she asked me a question: “If you were in a sinking boat, would you try to fix it or just build a new one?” I admitted I was a little displeased with the question; I didnt know how big the boat was, or how much water was in it. I never gave her a straight answer! But our friendship began.

We went roller-skating and jogging, killed time in the rooms and studied together in coffee shops. To everyones surprise, we both talked 100 miles an hour. People even thought we were sisters. I really loved having a best friend.

Although we both had much in common, we were often very different from each other. Slight difference of opinion quickly turned into heated discussions, and it seemed to take a lot of work to keep up the relationship. With complaints and arguments（争执）going into our ears, we both even wanted to stop. I have to admit that if it had been up to me, our friendship would have ended.

But Alicia saw something in me that was worth keeping. I know she drank more of her pride than I did. Now, Im extremely glad we worked things out. She is my closest friend. Even though we work on life from entirely different worldviews, we often find ourselves attending to the needs of each other and seeing results only God could reach. What an amazing life lesson God has taught us about unity（团结） and forgiveness! Now, our different opinions are easy to laugh about. She can eat her vanilla while I have my chocolate.

58. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph imply that ＿＿＿ .

A. they have different tastes

B. they have no arguments

C. they dont care about their different opinions

D. the writer likes chocolate much more than Alicia

59. What can we learn from the text?

A. They never quarreled about anything.

B. Their friendship ended after heated discussions.

C. Alicia gave in more to the writer than the writer did.

D. Alicia didnt answer the question in a straight way.

60. Which of the following statements is true about the author?

A. She got nothing from Alicia.

B. She respected their friendship more.

C. She learned how to forgive others.

D. She didnt find a way to work things out.

第二节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

A 6-year-old Colorado boy, Falcon, who is believed to have floated with a balloon, giving rise to ground and air searches, has been found alive.

The balloon landed near Keenesburg, Colorado, about 60 miles from its starting point. People across the world watched Thursday as the homemade helium balloon floated 7,000 feet over eastern Colorado for more than an hour and a half. His brother said he saw Falcon get into the balloon on Thursday morning. The balloon, about 20 feet long and 5 feet high, appeared to be similar to a party balloon. It had been tied to the family home, the County Mayors Department said, and the boy got into it Thursday morning and untied the rope.

But the boy was not in the ballon when it made a soft landing at 1:35 p.m. Shortly after the landing, the police made a ground search. “Im very confident we will find him. I think its a matter of him being a little scared,” the County Office spokeswoman said. “Maybe hes not ready to be found.” However, a little while later, Falcon turned up at home.

Falcon said he was hiding in a box in the attic（阁楼）while the police were searching for him. “I played with my toys and took a nap,” Falcon told a group of reporters outside his home Thursday afternoon. When asked by the police why he didnt respond, the boy replied, “My father said we did this for the show.”

Long, long before, people didnt cook food. They did not know what to do it at all. When they killed animal, they often did not even take the skin off them before they eat them. Some of us believe that it was forest fire that introduced man by the act of cooking. Forest fires were sometimes started by storms or people ran away from the burnt areas. And they returned when the fire had been gone out. Some animals happened to be cooking and found more tasty.
