　　第三部分：阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)

　　A

　　Steve knew he’d been adopted as a baby, and when he turned 18, in 2003, he decided he’d try to track down his birth mother. The agency from which he’d been adopted gave him his mother’s name: Tallady. But online searches didn’t turn up any results about it, and Steve had to let it go.

　　In 2007, though, he searched for the name again online. This time, the search results included a home address near the Lowe’s store where Steve, then 22, worked as a deliveryman. When he mentioned the coincidence to his boss, his boss said, “You mean Tallady, who works here?

　　Steve and Tallady, a cashier, had said hello to each other a few times at the store, but they’d never really talked. He hadn’t even known her name. Steve thought there was no possible way she was his mother though they shared the same name. For a few months, Steve avoided Tallady. “I wasn’t sure how to approach her,” he told a local reporter. Finally, the agency volunteered to arrange their reunion(团聚).

　　When Tallady realized that the nice guy she’d been waving at was his son, she sobbed. She’d always hoped to meet her birth son one day. Later that day, mother and son talked for almost three hours at a nearby bar. She’d given him up for adoption in 1985, when she was 23. “I wasn’t ready to be a mother,” she told him. Married with two other children, Tallady says, “I have a complete family now.”

　　56. Steve gave up the on-line search for his birth mother in 2003 because _____.

　　A. the agency didn’t give him any help

　　B. there was no information about his mother

　　C. his mother didn’t turn up online

　　D. he missed the information about his mother

　　57. Why Steve avoided Tallady for months?

　　A. Because she didn’t want to talk to him.

　　B. Because he wasn’t fully prepared for the reunion.

　　C. Because she was very difficult to approach.

　　D. Because he didn’t think she was his birth mother.

　　58. The best title for the text is _____.

　　A. The Love of Mother B. An Unexpected Meeting

　　C. The Power of the Internet D. An Unusual Reunion

　　B

　　Have you ever gone to work to find that one of your coworkers is coughing and sneezing all day long? You do your best to keep a safe distance and wonder: Why did he or she come to work when they were ill? The reality for many Americans is that they do not have enough paid sick time each year to afford them the luxury of staying home because they don’t feel well.

　　This problem doesn’t just affect the working employees who are sick, though. In an article by James Warren for Bloomberg Business Week, a second-grade school teacher, Stilli Klikizos shares about the sick children that must stay in school all day long because their parents can’t get off work to come and get them. In the past school year, she had several children who were unable to be picked up at school who were later diagnosed with H1N1.

　　There is a movement called the Healthy Families Act in Congress that would change this situation for many Americans. The Healthy Family Act would require employers with 15 or more employees to provide 7 paid sick days a year for their workers. These days could be used not only for days when the worker is sick, but the time can also be used when caring for others, or going to routine doctor’s appointments.

　　Those who are against the Act argue that many businesses are struggling to make ends meet owing to recession (经济衰退), and point out that this is the wrong time to force employers to add an additional expense.

　　Those who support the Healthy Families Act say that our nation can’t afford to not take these measures. When an individual goes to work sick, they are possibly infecting their coworkers, clients and customers.

　　According to a report by Katie Couric on the CBS evening news, three fourths of low wage earners get docked when they are sick. Those individuals include daycare workers and restaurant workers, whose health can affect the health of many.

　　59. Why do many Americans still come to work when they are sick?

　　A. They often ignore the illness if not serious.

　　B. They work in high spirits.

　　C. The cost of staying home is great.

　　D. The cost of medical treatment is high.

　　60. In the article mentioned in this passage, James Warren intends to say ______.

　　A. children need more thoughtful and considerate care

　　B. adults’ not having enough paid sick time may be bad for children

　　C. parents shouldn’t leave the sick children at school

　　D. teachers are responsible for taking good care of children at school

　　61. According to the Healthy Families Act, ______.

　　A. all the employers are required to provide 7 paid sick days a year for their workers

　　B. the employees can use the paid sick days to take a trip so as to relax themselves

　　C. the employees could demand their companies pay for their medical bills

　　D.the employees can use the paid sick days to take care of their sick children

　　62. The term "get docked" (Para 6) probably means"______ ".

　　A. lose part of wages B. lose their health C. get paid D. get fired

　　C

　　Dogs can tell how other dogs are feeling from the way their tails(尾巴) are wagging(摇摆), according to researchers who monitored the animals' heart rate as they watched canine(犬科动物的)movies. The Italian team found that dogs had higher heart rates and became more anxious when they saw others wag their tails more to the left, but not when they wagged more to the right, or failed to wag at all.

　　The curious form of communication is probably not intentional, or consciously understood, but is instead an automatic behavior that arises from the structure of the brain, said Giorgio. “It's not something they clearly and exactly understand,” Giorgio told the Guardian. “It's just something that happens to them.”

　　Giorgio traces the effect back to the way the two halves of the brain process different experiences. In a previous study, his team showed that when a dog had a positive experience, such as seeing its owner, activity rose in the left side of the brain, bringing about more tail wagging to the right. Or else more tail wagging to the left. The effect is barely visible to the human eye because dogs tend to wag their tails too fast, but it can be seen with slow motion video, or in some larger types.

　　In the latest study, the researchers wanted to find out whether the direction of tail wagging had any effect on other dogs. To get an answer, they fitted dogs with vests that recorded their heart rates, and played them movies of other dogs wagging their tails one way and then the other. To ensure the dogs reacted only to tail wagging, and not appearance, they repeated the experiment with dogs that appeared only as shadows.

　　“When dogs saw other dogs wagging their tails to the right, there was quite a relaxed reaction and no evidence of an increased heart rate. But when the wagging was to the left we saw an increase in heart rate and a series of behaviors typically associated with stress, anxiety and being more watchful,” Giorgio said. The anxious animals held their ears up, breathed, and kept their eyes wide open. The study appears in the latest issue of Current Biology.

　　Giorgio said the effect was comparable to the apparent human preference for wider pupils(瞳孔). In one 1975 study, women were described in more appealing terms when their pupils were larger. Another study, from 2007, found that women's pupils got bigger when they looked at pictures of potential partners. In neither case were people aware that pupil size was sending out a signal, said Giorgio. He said tendencies in tail wagging were hard to spot with the eye, but the finding might still help to improve animal welfare.

　　This paper is extremely interesting from a dog owner's perspective(视角). If a dog wags their tail to the left upon reunion with their owner, this may be a cause of serious concern, as it suggests that the right half is activated(活动起来), which controls for negative emotional responses, including fear and withdrawal.

　　63. It is _______ that lead to dogs wagging tail to the left or right.

　　A. their unaware behavior B. the emotional response

　　C. their increasing heart rate D. watching canine movies

　　64. From the passage we can learn that_______.

　　A. Giorgio didn’t understand the curious form of dogs’ communication

　　B. the pupil size will determine the appeal and welfare of a woman

　　C. a dog’s right brain become active when it is nervous and breathless

　　D. No one knows how our pupil sends out a signal to his potential partners

　　65. According to the passage, the study is related to_______.

　　A. animal protection B. animal psychology

　　C. animal welfare D. animal testing

　　66. The passage is mainly about_______.

　　A. how wagging dogs communicate emotional responses with their owners

　　B. why wagging dogs feel seriously anxious and stressed or particularly relaxed

　　C. Dogs’ communicating different feelings with rightward or leftward tail wagging

　　D. A good knowledge of dogs’ wagging tail can make us feel more comfortable

　　Remy Shea is a sixth-form student at my international school in Beijing. When I ask her where she is from, she says: “I'm Canadian-Chinese but, at the same time, I'm neither.”

　　Most students at my school aren't from one particular place. Sure, our passports(护照) might say we're British or Malaysian, but it's more complicated than that. Where you're “from” is less about birthplace and more about cultural identity; as a student your cultural identity ends up being difficult to identify.

　　If you ask me where I'm from, I'll tell you I'm English. Press me, and I'll say that I'm also half Hong Konger. Ask which part of England I'm from, and I'll be forced to explain that I spent most of my childhood and part of my adolescence flying around Asia. Though I was born in a city in the UK, I honestly couldn't point it out on a map or tell you anything about the place.

　　Students like me are uniquely rootless; we don’t belong anywhere and we can't describe ourselves as any one thing. Some find that they make their home wherever their family is. Some just accept the loneliness that comes with the lack of concrete ties to any single place.

　　Exir Kamalabadi, a year 13 student at my school, sums it up perfectly: “I'll never be Chinese, no matter what I do.” Replace “Chinese” with any other country, and you can understand the conflict within many “third culture kids”, as we’ve been titled by the media. For me, I’ll never be Hong Konger, no matter what I do. And, despite my mainly English-influenced upbringing(养育), I will never feel fully at home there either.

　　I feel like a foreigner everywhere I go, an emotion shared by other students at international schools like mine. Mixed-race students who travel a lot while growing up can lack a cultural identity and also have to struggle with the fact that they don't have a history – or not one that's easily explained. For me, a cultural identity is something I have to develop and maintain, not something that falls into place naturally. I've heard my accent becoming progressively more American over the last five years. This is upsetting because my slight British accent was the last real reminder of where I was born. Without it, how am I supposed to tell people I'm from the UK?

　　I've had to make an effort to preserve my ordinary, regionally unclear “English’’ accent because without it, I don't have any proof that I was from the UK at all. My passport might as well have been Hong Konger.

　　This lack of definition means that I’ve ended up in a dark shadow of different cultures, with bits and pieces from everywhere I've lived and everyone I’ve met. I count with my fingers the way they do in Hong Kong and I grew up eating roti in Singaporean food courts and goose fat noodles at my grandmother’s house in Hong Kong. My accent is influenced with my friends’ American pronunciation, but I still spell color with a ‘u’. Though it comes with its downsides, it's helped to shape me as a person and has broadened my perspectives.

　　67. Which of the following statements is true?

　　A. international students feel lonely because of lack of friends.

　　B. Kids like the author think they are cut off from history ties.

　　C. Any Mixed-race students can’t find their cultural identity.

　　D. The author’s American accent is to blame for his situation.

　　68. It can be inferred from the article that_______.

　　A. the author has English nationality

　　B. the author is studying in a city in the UK.

　　C. the author possesses Hong Kong passport

　　D. the author spent his childhood in Beijing

　　69. What’s the best tip to international school students like the author? They should _______.

　　A. spend as much time as possible with their families

　　B. communicate with local people in native language

　　C. overcome cultural differences and language difficulty

　　D. keep in close touch with their originally cultural roots

　　70. The author wrote this article in order to_______.

　　A. introduce his growing pain to the readers

　　B. pour out his loneliness without companions

　　C. express his greatest confusion of being rootless

　　D. offer something of international students in Beijing

　　Made in the USA: An Export Boom

　　In his State of the Union address two years ago, President Obama argued that in order to recover from the economic recession(经济衰退), one of the few things the U.S. needed to do was to export more goods around the world. That night, the president unveiled(吐露) a new goal: to double U. S. exports over the next five years. It would be an increase that the president said would “support two million jobs in America.”

　　Most economists dismissed the promise at the time as something unrealistic, but two years later, the U.S. is on pace to meet that goal. American exports are up 34 percent since the president gave that speech, and the number continues to rise.

　　Competitive In A Global Market

　　Marlin Steel, a metal working business in Baltimore, makes parts that ship all across the world. “ We export to 36 countries,” owner Drew Greenblatt tells All Things Considered Host Guy Raz. “We're working around the clock, and we're growing.”

　　It's not just advanced manufacturing exports on the rise, but pork, cattle and all kinds of agricultural exports are up as well. Even American craft beer has found an export market.

　　Flying Dog CEO Jim Caruso says that increasingly, people all over the world are trying the beer from the Maryland-based brewery. Caruso says，“Even in those top beer-producing countries, a competitive American product is finding a market.”

　　Services Are Exports, Too

　　Another place exports are coming from is New York City—in particular, the 30th floor of a Manhattan skyscraper on 5th Avenue and 52nd Street. That's where the consulting firm Kurt Solomon lies. It doesn't actually produce a product for export; it provides management advice and strategy.

　　“Four out of every five Americans is now employed in the service industry，” the nation's top trade official, Ron Kirk says, “Services are a significant part of our exports, and make up about a quarter of our exported goods.” These services can include everything from legal consulting, finance, information technology and even engineering.

　　And There Are Other Factors

　　So why has there been an increase of more than 30 percent for exports in almost everything? Part of the increase, at least for the manufacturing side, is due to better technology, says Tyler Cowen, an economist. “A lot of it is being driven by smart machines,” he tells Raz, “The U. S. has high wage rates, which is a disadvantage, but if machines are doing a lot of the work, that doesn't matter.”

　　China factors a lot in America's export economy, too. “Wages in China have been going up as the country becomes more productive. Thus China is losing the cheap labor advantage it has held for some time.” Cowen says.

　　Will Jobs Grow, too?

　　“Companies have become more productive by dismissing workers and lowering costs.” Cowen says, “So I don't view exporting as a way of creating a very large number of jobs, but it will create more profits.”

　　So not every business or worker is necessarily benefiting from the export boom in the U. S., and Cowen says that could ultimately lead to a polarization (两极) of economic outcomes.
