Part 3 Reading and Writing ( 第三部分 读与写 )VI. Reading Comprehension ( 阅读理解 ) （共50分）A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案） ( 12分)A mother in Australia was told by a doctor that her newborn son was “dead”, but she helped bring him back to life by holding the baby against her body. She used a method known as “kangaroo care”( 袋鼠护理法). The child, named Jamie, was born after only 27 weeks with his twin sister, Emily, at a hospital in Sydney. Her birth went well, but his was a different story. The doctor struggled for 20 minutes to save Jamie before declaring (宣布)him dead. “His little arms and legs were just falling down away from his body,” Kate Ogg said, “I took my coat off and put him on my chest with his head over my arm.” She and her husband, David, spoke to the child as she continued to hold him for nearly two hours. During that time, the two-pound baby showed signs of life. She said, “ I told my mom, who was there, that he was still alive. Then he held out his hand and grabbed(抓住) my finger.” Their tiny baby grew stronger and stronger in his mothers arms, and their final goodbye turned into a hello. The doctor at first ignored(忽视)the babys movements, but when he put the stethoscope(听诊器) to its chest, his mouth was wide open and he said, “Its my fault. Its a miracle(奇迹)”. “The kangaroo care helps the baby keep body warmth,” Dr Pinchi Srinivasan said. “It also regulates(调节) heartbeat and breathing rates and is believed to help weight gain and improve sleeping habits. Fathers can also use kangaroo care. The key to the method is skin-to-skin contact.” The practice began in less developed nations. It has become a recognized practice in helping premature(早产的)babies. The technique(技术) is good for babies, and is used in many baby care centres.69. Jamie and Emily are _.A) twin sisters B) twin brothers C) twin D) twins70. After hearing what the doctor said, the mother _.A) chose to believe the doctorB) didnt give up and tried to bring her baby to lifeC) became so sad that she almost became madD) became angry at what the doctor did to her son71.

From what Dr Pinchi Srinivasan said, we learn the baby came back to life mainly because of _.A) the mothers soft words B) the doctors careful careC) the fathers “kangaroo care” D) skin-to-skin contact with the mother73. According to the passage, premature babies refer to babies that are born _.A) with diseases B) before their timeC) dead D) heavy74.

Choose the words or expressions to complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语,完成短文) (12分)Grandma was the only mother Thomas had ever known. She appeared to be a loving lady but often angered easily. When Thomas one day discovered that other children had someone they called Mum and asked why he must call her grandma instead of Mum. She told him gently about his mothers death before he was three months old. There was not the same reaction(反应) when he asked why he had 75 to call Dad. Then his grandma glared at(瞪了一眼) him and got angrier than he had 76 seen and the sharp reply was, “He was a bad man. He didnt want your mother, and he didnt want you when you were born.” Thomas never asked about his father any more.Shortly after his fifth birthday and two days before Christmas Day, Thomas was woken up by his grandmas calling to him from her bedroom. Running into the old ladys room, he found her 77 for breathlessness(喘不过气), and between gasps(喘气)，trying to tell him to fetch the next-door neighbour. As soon as the neighbour arrived，she sent Thomas to call another neighbour. Next Thomas was told he must stay downstairs, so he sat in the kitchen, trying to give all his 78 to his toys. He was there to see the doctor arrive, and to see him leave a few minutes later. This eased（减轻）Thomass worry. A doctor would stay a long time with someone who was seriously ill. The fact that the doctor left so 79 after his arrival meant that Grandma was going to be all right again. He expected to be told he could go upstairs and see her. But the first neighbour came down and explained that Grandma was 80 and the doctor had said she couldnt be disturbed（打扰）. Shortly afterwards the second neighbour came down, helped Thomas put his toys in a box, and then took him to have lunch with her and her two children. 75.A) noneB) someoneC) no oneD) anyone76.A) neverB) notC) hardlyD) ever77.A) keepingB) fightingC) appearingD) starting78.A) note B) attentionC) interest D) attraction 79A) quicklyB) fastC) hurriedlyD) soon80A) lying in the bedB) laying in bedC) sleepingD) goneC. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使内容通顺, 每空格限填一词，首字母已给) (14分)There are different ways of telling a story. It can be told in words, in pictures, in music, and acted o 81 , or it can be told by still another way-by dancing. Dancing that tells a story is called a ballet(芭蕾舞). The dancing in a ballet is done to music, but the story is told by the movements of the dancers. There is no singing and speaking in it. A ballet is a work of art just as a beautiful picture . The origin(起源)of ballet d 82 back about 600 years ago, which began as a kind of entertainment in the courts of the rulers of Italy. Two hundred years later ballet was popular in the French court. The French King Louis XIV founded a ballet school. Later the rulers of Russia became interested in ballet. They offered large amounts of money to the best ballet masters and dancers of France. They also set up their own ballet schools and dance companies(舞蹈团). Soon Russians produced many famous ballets. “Swan Lake” was one of them. Russians transformed the world of dance, music, art, theatre and even f 83 . The basic positions(可数名词姿势)and techniques of ballet were developed long ago. Over the centuries, choreographers(编舞者) have revised(修改)the classical techniques, but the basic positions have remained the same. When you begin learning the steps and poses(舞姿) of ballet, you will realize that most of them have French names. For example, a part of a ballet that is danced by just two people is called pas de deux（芭蕾双人舞）. Most of the French terms have been c 84 throughout the years. Such French words remind us that France was once the leader in ballet. Ballet dancing is known for its grace and elegance, as ballerinas(芭蕾舞女演员) seem to glide(滑行)across the stage almost effortlessly（不费力地）. Probably the most important part of a ballet dancers equipment is ballet shoes. After several years of proper t 85 , female ballet dancers wear pointe shoes(足尖鞋) to raise themselves even higher and lighter by going up on their toes. Pointe shoes make it possible for ballerinas to dance on the tips of their toes.The first ballet was performed over 500 years ago. Men t 86 danced the leading roles, as women were considered too weak to perform the challenging and sometimes daring choreography（大胆的舞蹈动作）. But now a girl has as good a chance as a boy of being a famous ballet dancer. Many of the most famous ballets were adapted from fairy tales and folk stories. Some ballets are based on historical events and bible stories. In a ballet, you can find the most beautiful and graceful of all dance styles. If youve ever seen a l 87 ballet on stage, you are aware of a ballerinas amazing ability to transport an entire audience into another world. All ballet dancers have one thing in common: a love of the grace, beauty and discipline（有素养）of ballet.D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) （12分）Music not only gives you something to sing and dance to, but also can make you feel happier. Scientists say that music can help to relax peoples mind and even help to relieve pain. How does music work its magic? It is the fact that music can adjust(调节) our mood. Recently, there is a scientific research to back up what we have always known about music. The studies have shown that when people are excited or happy they are more helpful. The opposite(相反的情况) happens when people feel aggressive (好斗的) or under stress. The use of music can influence how helpful people can be.Dr. Adrian North made a study with 256 university students. Half the group took exercise in the gymnasium listening to music which can bring happiness and the other half exercised to aggressive music. When leaving the gym, the students were asked to hand out flyers (传单) in support of the local disabled athletes foundation（残疾运动员基金会）.The results showed that nearly half of the group that listened to happy music were willing to（愿意）hand out flyers. But less than 20% in the group that heard the aggressive music were willing to do so. This study suggests that our choice of music can influence our willingness to cooperate (合作).While a study also shows that productivity (生产效率) can be increased with the right choice of background music in the workplace. As music stimulates (刺激) workers mind, job satisfaction is often positively influenced. Other studies have shown that workers who are in a good mood have more job satisfaction than those in a bad mood.These studies show that music can have a powerful influence on a persons ability to cooperate. Moods have a direct influence（直接影响）on cooperation and job satisfaction, These factors（因素）also have a direct relationship to the success of a business. 88. What do scientists say about music? _.89. The phrase“back up” in Line 6, Paragraph 1 most probably means “support”, doesnt it? _. 90. Why do people use the right choice of background music in the workplace
