Do Americans have morals? That’s a good question. Moral values (道德准则) in America are like those in any 36 .
One of the most 37 moral values for Americans is honesty. The well-known 38 about George Washington and the cherry tree teaches this value 39 . Little George cut down his father’s favorite cherry tree 40 trying out his new hatchet (小斧头). When his father asked him about it, George said, “I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my hatchet.” Instead of 41 , George received praise. Sometimes American honesty ---- being open and direct ---- can 42 people. But Americans still believe that “honesty is the best policy.”
Another 43 Americans respect is perseverance (毅力). Remember Aesop’s fable about the turtle (乌龟) and the rabbit that had a 44 ? The rabbit thought he could 45 easily, so he took a nap. But the turtle finally won because he did not 46 .
Compassion (同情）may be the queen of American virtues. The story of “The Good Samaritan” from the Bible 47 a man who showed compassion. On his way to a 48 city, a Samaritan man found a poor traveler lying on the road. The kind Samaritan, 49 just passing by, stopped to help this person in need. Compassion can even turn into a positive 50 . In autumn 1992, people in Iowa sent truckloads of water to help Floridians 51 by a hurricane. The next summer, during the Midwest flooding, Florida 52 the favor.
In no way can this brief description 53 all the moral values honored by Americans. Courage, responsibility, 54 , gratitude and many others could be discussed. But no matter how long or how short the list, moral values are 55 .

第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。
A
In the UK, a country known for its bad weather and lack of sunshine, there appears to be an ever increasing number of very tanned (晒黑的) young people. So just how are they achieving their golden tans? Some are choosing the sun-free option and are getting their tans from a bottle. However, it appears that others are turning to tanning salons (沙龙), of which there are thousands in the UK.
So why do the British prefer to be tanned? Often, they are trying to imitate their favorite celebrities (名人). Research from the British Sunbed Association suggests that many people believe a tan makes them feel and look healthier.
This is a belief that is most definitely not shared by Cancer Research UK. They firmly state that being tanned is not a sign of health. In fact, they are strongly against young people using sunbeds. On their website, they state that people who use sunbeds before the age of 35 have a higher risk of melanoma (黑素瘤).
The dangers of tanning did not appear to concern ten-year-old Kelly Thompson who hit the headlines in April after receiving severe (严重的) burns from spending 16 minutes on a sunbed. Kelly’s mother was shocked that her daughter had been allowed to use the sunbed and the tanning salon was unmanned (无人看管的). She noted that: “There was no one to give advice on using these potentially (潜在地) dangerous machines.”
Whether the British government has been taking notice of such recent tanning tragedies is not clear. What is clear however is that self-regulation (自行监管) in the sunbed industry looks unlikely to continue. Just after Kelly’s story was reported in the news, the government gave a statement advising that people under 18 should not use sunbeds and that all salons should employ trained workers.
56. The first paragraph mainly tells us that ______.
A. The UK is known for its bad weather
B. young British people like to be tanned
C. more people turn to tanning salons
D. tan is young British people’s favorite color
57. According to Kelly’s mother, ______.
A. Kelly spent too much time on the sunbed
B. Kelly was given the wrong advice
C. the tanning salon was to blame
D. Kelly should use the sunbed with the help of the workers in the salon
58. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce something about sunbeds
B. To advise people to stop being tanned.
C. To give the UK government some advice.
D. To show the danger of being tanned.
B
The more we learn about the octopus (章鱼), the more intelligent we discover they are. Octopuses possess not one but nine “brains”, one in each of their legs and a central brain behind the eyes. Octopuses can solve problems, can be trained to learn behavior and are extremely good at figuring out how to get out of an aquarium (水族馆) and get into food. We can learn a lot from an octopus.
An octopus doesn’t have a backbone, which doesn’t mean that they lack nerve. On the contrary, their nervous system, which goes all the way down each leg, is very complex. They are able to take in a lot of information about their world and seem to be able to remember, learn and adapt to new situations.
The suckers (吸盘) on their long legs can not only feel, but also taste. Each sucker works individually, so an octopus can just focus on one leg or one sucker. Their eyesight is sharp. Although their brains are quite small in comparison to ours, they still have very large brains for invertebrates (无脊椎动物). They have many physical characteristics of a human brain.
Perhaps you’ve seen the video of an octopus in a German aquarium that learned to open a jar to get its food. Octopuses have also been taught to go through mazes (迷宫) and to pick out different shapes of patterns. Their short term and long term memory seems to be excellent. It is thought that octopuses are as intelligent as dogs in their capacity (能力) to learn certain behavior, solve problems, and make use of objects.
In the movie “Octopus Intelligence: Deep Sea Aliens,” some species of octopuses are letting young octopuses watch the adults in order to train them. If this keeps up, in a hundred thousand generations the octopus may rule the seas. Clearly, there is more to an octopus than just a lot of legs.
59.We can learn from the passage that the octopus ______.
A. is the cleverest animal in the sea
B. has nine small brains and a big one
C. has a very complex nervous system
D. has all its brains behind its eyes
60. Which of the following statements about the suckers of the octopus is true?
A. Each one can work by itself.
B. They can taste but can’t feel.
C. Each leg has only one sucker.
D. Each one has an eye,
61. Paragraph 4 mainly tell us ______.
A. the octopus is as clever as the dog
B. what octopuses are good at
C. octopuses can go through mazes
D. how intelligent octopuses are
62. We can learn from the last paragraph that octopuses ______.
A. will rule the oceans in the future
B. may have an unbelievable future
C. are good at training their young
D. should have more powerful legs
C
Lee Humberg, district manager for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, is the man in charge of figuring out how to remove the flocks (群) of 15,000 to 20,000 Canada geese that could strike planes flying in and out of the New York area. The Port Authority, the agency that manages airport in New York and New Jersey, estimates (估计) that there have been as many as 315 bird strikes annually in the past 30 years.
Bird strikes have been a hot topic since a US Airways jet suffered a “double strike” and made an emergency landing on the Hudson River in January 2009. All 155 passengers were rescued safely and the flight was called “Miracle on the Hudson”. The plane finally ended up at the Carolinas Aviation Museum. The next major bird strike may not have such a happy ending.
To thin the flocks, Humberg and his team have tracked down goose nests and killed eggs with corn oil. They’ve also terrified the birds with dogs, remote-controlled boats and kites that look like eagles.
But the only method that effectively decreases the goose population is the one that angers animal lovers the most: gassing (使…吸入毒气) hundreds at a time.
“if all you are doing is goose harassment (骚扰) every day, it’s very frustrating (令人沮丧的), because you are just playing Ping-Pong with the birds,” Humberg told New York magazine. “It’s basically an arms race to come up with the tools to deal with them.”
Now New York City plans to send the geese captured to Pennsylvania to be cooked and distributed (分发) at food banks as meals for the poor. That might just be a fate better than flying into a 747 engine.
63．What can we learn form Humberg?
A. He does research on geese’s living conditions.
B. He makes efforts to protect wild birds.
C. He deals with the danger of birds at airports.
D. He tries to find newer and safer airlines.
64．Why was the flight called “Miracle on the Hudson”?
A．It suffered a “double strike”.
B．It arrived at a plane museum.
C．It only caused a few deaths.
D．It succeeded in landing on a river.
65．By saying “you are just playing Ping-Pong with the birds”, Humberg means ______.
A．It’s interesting to fight with the birds
B．It’s a skill-needed race against the birds
C．you can’t defeat the bird in the end
D．you should live birds peacefully
66．It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A．Canada geese can fly as high as planes
B．New York airlines are in poor management
C．bird strikes happen once a week on average
D．the poor also benefit from Humberg’s work
D
More than 300 years ago, Sir lssac Newton developed his theory of gravity from watching an apple fall out of an apple tree. Centuries later, W. Carter Johnson, a professor at South Dakota State University, was eating his lunch under an oak tree when some acorns (橡子) fell on him. Looking up, he saw blue jays (蓝松鸡) collecting acorns and flying away. Suddenly, Professor Johnson guessed the answer to a question that scientists had been asking for years. How were oak trees able to spread quickly to new places?
The seeds of the oak tress are as heavy as pebbles (卵石). Squirrels (松鼠) collect acorns. But they bury them close to the parent trees. Young oaks usually cannot grow near their parents, because large, leafy oaks cast too much shade. So who was moving the acorns far away from the parent trees?
“Blue jays,” reasoned Professor Johnson. And he set out to prove his idea.
Dr. Johnson and a group of students used peanuts to attract and capture (捕获) hundreds of jays in nets and live traps. They attached a brightly colored tag to the left leg of each bird. The tags had symbols on them so each bird had its own name.
The scientists let the birds go and watch them for many days. They counted how many times the birds carried acorns from an oak tree to a hiding place.
The jays collected two or more acorns at a time and flew to a place near their summer nest. Using their beaks (喙), they buried each acorn separately in the ground. Day after day the birds carried acorns and hid them for winter food.
When spring came, there were buried acorns left behind. Some of these would grow into oak trees. And one day, maybe even a forest of trees.
By planting oak trees, blue jays help our planet. Acorn by acorn.
67．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．A good way for scientists to do scientific research
B．The similarities between Newton’s and Johnson’s research
C．Johnson found how the seeds of the oak trees spread
D Why do blue jays carry the seeds of oak trees away?
68．Which of the following is NOT true about the oak trees?
A．The seeds of oak trees are heavy for birds to carry.
B．The wind blows the seeds of oak trees everywhere.
C．Most of the oak trees are large and have many leaves.
D．Most of the seeds of oak trees cannot grow near their parents.
69．How did Professor Johnson prove his idea?
A．By watching acorns fall out of acorn trees.
B．By watching how blue jays hide acorns.
C．By following blue jays many days.
D．By catching, tagging and watching blue jays.
70. From the passage, we can know blue jays ______.
A. can collect one acorn a time
B. hide the acorns for winter food
C. carry the acorns to their winter nests
D. bury two or more acorns together in the ground

Scientists say progress in medical research could reduce the number and severity (严重性) of malaria (疟疾) cases worldwide. 71 The events will call attention to the disease and international efforts against it.
This is the third year that World Malaria Day has been observed. 72 The international malaria community has set the end of 2010 as its target for meeting the first in a series of goals.
One of the goals is to provide protection, medical diagnosis and treatment for every person at risk of malaria. A second goal is to reduce the number of malaria cases and deaths by 50 ％ or more in 10 years.
73 That represents more than half of the world’s population. America’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the disease will infect 300,000,000 to 500,000,000 people around the world this year. Each year, malaria kills about 900,000 people worldwide. Those surviving are often left brain damaged, blind or with hearing loss.
74 The WHO says the disease is responsible for one in five childhood deaths there. Malaria kills about 200,000 children in Africa every year, and average of one every thirty seconds.
Malaria is also a threat to people living in parts of Asia, Central and South America, the Middle East, and southeastern Europe. People from malaria-free countries who visit areas with malaria are also very much at risk. 75
A. Most cases of malaria are in African countries.
B. It is also an important year in the fight against malaria.
C. This is because their bodies have little or no resistance to the disease.
D. The world is expected to reach its goal of zero malaria deaths by 2015.
E. World Malaria Day activities are planned in many countries this Sunday.
F. Signs of the disease appear in victims ten to fifteen days after they are bitten.
G. The World Health Organization estimates that more than three billion people live in areas
where malaria is a threat.

A mouse named Mickey has won the hearts of millions. Movies about Mickey have been popular with people almost everywhere for more than 70 years.
Walt Disney, who created this mouse, was born in Chicago in 1901. Later his family moved to Kansas City. As a boy, he enjoyed drawing pictures very much.
When he went back to Chicago, he studied at the Chicago Academy. His education was interrupted because of World War Ⅰ. He joined the Red Cross and went to France, where he stayed until the war was over.
After the war, he returned to work for a company that made fairy cartoons. This was the work he liked best. He bought an old movie camera and made a few films in his house. In 1923 he joined his older brother in Hollywood, where they soon set up their own company.

参考范文：
Nowadays, there is too much entertainment shown on TV, which makes quite a few children become addicted. Besides, many children tend to fix their attention on soap operas after school. There is no doubt that it would make children ignore their studies. What’s worse, it is harmful to children’s eyesight it they sit too long in front of TV.
In my opinion, more useful and meaningful TV programs should be made for children, so that they can learn something from them. At the same time, parents should limit the time their children spend on TV to protect their eyesight.
