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,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
A fellow speaker from California named Geri flew to Japan, in her favourite jeans and a casual jacket, to give her first speech. Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.
When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby (大厅). While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, “Oh, it‘s beautiful!”
At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said “Sayonara” and left immediately. Poor Geri was left astonished. What did she do wrong?
Everything! Her jeans were the first gaffe. Even if you‘re coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet clients (客人) casually dressed. The second mistake was Geri‘s handling of their business cards rudely. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important communicative tools. It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each other‘s cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safe keeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.
Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical, it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. What is worse, Geri hadn‘t even given them a gift!
56. In the four Japanese gentlemen‘s eyes, Geri took their cards ________.
A.disrespectfully B.embarrassingly C.politely D. excitedly
57. Why did the four Japanese gentlemen leave Geri suddenly?
A.Because they had finished the task.
B.Because they couldn‘t bear Geri‘s behaviour any longer.
C.Because Geri had something more important to do.
D.Because Geri felt embarrassed.
58. What does the underlined word “gaffe” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.ignorance. B.mistake.. C. sadness D.carelessness.
59. The third mistake Geri made was that she ________.
A.used her own card as a conversation starter B.took her clients‘ cards with one hand
C.met her clients in jeans D.kept her clients‘ cards in a wrong place
60. What lesson can we draw from this story?
A.When in Rome, do as the Romans do. B.Think twice before you take any action.
C.Honesty is the best policy. D.Don‘t claim to know what you don‘t know.
B

A baby mermaid was just born in Finland; Justin Bibber is getting married; iphone 6 is going to be released this year…We read rumors every day on the Internet. With the help of social media, rumors — no matter whether they are true or false — spread like wildfire, and sometimes we can’t be sure what to believe.
Now, an international group of researchers might be able to make it easier for us. They are working on a lie detector that could separate online truth from lies, Discovery news reported.
Named after the Greek goddess Pheme, famed for spreading bad rumors, the system is far from a traditional lie detector, which works by attaching a machine to a potential liar. Instead, Pheme analyzes the rumor directly.
When a rumor comes out, on a micro blog, for example, Pheme can trace the source of information to see if it was released by reliable sources like experts or news agencies. If it wasn’t, Pheme then examines the history and background of the account to identify whether it was created just to spread rumors — whether it’s what’s called an “Internet bot.”
After finding the source of the rumor, the system can keep a close eye on how other users react to the rumor — either confirming or denying it — to help analyze and further determine the reliability of the information.
Some people might find the Pheme system unnecessary based on the idea that false rumors never survive for long and people always get to the truth over time. While that’s a fair point, there is a certain class of rumors, such as “a tiger is at large” or “an asteroid (小行星) is about to hit the Earth”, that can cause panic among people and thus lead to serious consequences.
These are cases when we need to be able to check for accuracy quickly. “Our system aims to help with that, by tracking and verifying information in real time,” lead researcher Kalina Bontcheva, at the University of Sheffield, UK, told the BBC.
According to Bontcheva, Pheme is still under development and won’t be ready for another 18 months.
Until then, there’s an old fashioned technique that you can use to protect yourself from false information — ask questions, check sources and don’t believe any claim until you’ve seen the evidence for it.
66. What is the article about?
A. Tips on how to deal with rumors online.
B. Factors that make rumors so easy to spread.
C. A new device that can check whether online rumors are true or not.
D. An introduction to some types of lie detectors.
67. By writing the first paragraph, the writer intends to ________.
A. share with readers some exciting news
B. warn readers not to trust anything on the Internet
C. tell readers rumors are out of control
D. introduce the topic of the passage
68. What makes Pheme different from a traditional lie detector?
A. It works by attaching a machine to a potential liar.
B. It examines a statement’s truthfulness directly.
C. It can identify a rumor and prevent it from spreading.
D. It is controlled by what is called an “Internet bot”
69. How does the Pheme system determine the reliability of a piece of information?
A. Based on the reliability of its sources and the history of its authors.
B. Based on how the majority of people react to it.
C. By collecting and examining relevant information to further confirm it.
D. By making use of an “Internet bot” to track and verify the information.
70. Which of the following statements might the author agree with?
A. The Pheme system is not very helpful because all rumors eventually die down.
B. The Pheme system will be ready to help social networks become more accurate
by the end of 2014.
C. The Pheme system can identify almost all kinds of rumors on social networking sites.
D. The Pheme system aims to respond to rumors quickly so as to reduce the impact of false ones.

While applying to college may seem easy, getting in can be tough! When you apply for college, you will have to be honest with yourself and do a bit of research to find the right fit. Here are three steps to take when applying to colleges for the best chances at getting into the best college for you.
Step l: Making a List of Colleges to Apply to
With over 6,000 colleges in the United States, the first step in applying to college is to do some research and make a college list. This process will be different for everyone. The number of colleges you apply to can vary, from applying to 1 school (not recommended) to 30 schools (not recommended), each applicant can choose how many colleges they apply to. Many limit the number because applications are accompanied by a fee.
Step2: Splitting the List into Target, Reach and Safety Schools
In general, students will want to apply to three types of schools: Target, Reach and Safety schools. It is up to you how many applications you send, but a good mix would be more target than reach, and at least one safety. You will need to take your list, and now decide which are your top picks, which are attainable for you academically, which are affordable for you only with aid, and refine (精炼) your broad list into a group of schools that gives you the best chance for success. Talk to an admissions counselor at your high school if you have questions about this.
Step 3: Completing and Sending Applications to Colleges
Once your list is complete you are ready to apply to college by completing and sending in applications! College applications take time to complete - you have to write essays, ask for recommendations and get test scores sent to schools - so stay organized! All colleges will require these types of application materials, so start thinking about these items well before October or December. Once you complete and send them, then you have successfully applied to college.
71. It can be learned from the first paragraph that_______.
A. you don‘t have to think twice before applying to college
B. you should be cautious to pick up the right college
C. once you apply to a college, you‘ll be admitted to it easily
D. each applicant should choose the best college for their ideal
72. To make a list of colleges, you ________.
A. needn‘t consider about your ability
B. are supposed to choose merely one most fit
C. had better take your academy into account
D. are required to pick out more than 30 colleges
73. Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A. One doesn‘t have to send his test scores to the intended college.
B. Refer to an admissions counselor at high school if necessary.
C. One should clarify the list according to one‘s abilities.
D. Teachers‘ recommendations are included in application materials.
74. We can conclude from the text that ________.
A. each applicant has the right to apply to any colleges for free
B. the more college one chooses, the more successful he will be
C. safety schools are those that don‘t have so many requirements
D. applicants should send required materials before the deadline
75. The text is mainly about _________.
A. how to succeed in life B. how to apply to college
C. how to ask for information D. how to do a research in college
