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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Yesterday was my stepmom’s birthday. I hadn’t been home for a long time so I wanted to stop by the house to see her on this special day.
I have been struggling financially so I was afraid of the long trip. Gas is so expensive nowadays! Anyway, I filled my tank with gas and set off.
I stopped at the shopping mall and found a present. It was the perfect gift and I knew she
would love it. But when I got to the cashier my card was declined! I did not have enough money in my account to pay for the gift!
So I pondered the issue for a few minutes. I could put it back and get something cheaper, but I knew there was nothing else in the store she would like as much. So, I got on my smart-phone and transferred some money from my savings account so I was able to pay for the gift. It took a big chunk of my savings but I wanted her to have something special.
She loved the gift and I felt that even though I had spent almost all my money my stepmom deserved the best and I was glad I gave her the best that I could.
Before leaving my parents’ house, my dad took me to one side and, with our secret hand-shake, he gave me some money. I had not said anything to him about my finances but I guess my dad had just known it. When I got to the car, I saw the amount he gave me was three times what I had spent on the gas and the gift!
It goes to show that doing the right thing always comes with great rewards.
56. Why was the writer unwilling to have a long trip？
A. Because gas was hardly available. B. Because the writer was short of money.
C. Because the writer didn’t like driving. D. Because the road was difficult to drive on.
57. The underlined word “pondered” in Para. 4 means ________.
A. thought about B. tried on
C. depended on D. got through
58. From the passage, we can infer that ________.
A. the writer loves his/her stepmom very much
B. the gift the writer bought was loved by his/her father very much
C. the writer spent all his/her savings buying the gift for his/her stepmom
D. the gift the writer bought was the most expensive one in the shop
59. Why did the writer’s father shake hands with the writer in secret?
A. Because he wanted to ask the writer for something special.
B. Because he wanted to give the writer some money.
C. Because he knew the writer had been struggling financially.
D. Because he didn’t want others to copy their handshake.
B
Investors soon will be able to own shares of Facebook stock. The world’s biggest social media network presented documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday. The documents are required before the company can make its initial public offering（首次公开募股）or IPO. A date for the stock sale has yet to be announced.
Experts say Facebook could raise about five billion dollars. That would be one of the biggest IPO sales ever. And it would be much bigger than Google’s first public stock sale in 2004. At that time, the Internet search company raised almost two billion dollars.
Facebook has 800 million users around the world. It is the second most visited website after Google. Now, experts say the social media network is in a position to become one of the most valuable Internet companies.
Stock expert Anupam Palit at Greencrest Capital says that among social media sites, Facebook is in a class by itself.
“It is the biggest company in this space and we believe what makes it very unique from every other company that went public last year in this space is that it is very, very profitable.” said Anupam Palit.
Early estimates place the total value of the social network between 75 and 100 billion dollars. That includes earlier investments by other companies. David Kirkpatrick wrote the book The Facebook Effect. He says Facebook’s IPO will be historic.
The stock sale could also make Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg one of the world’s youngest billionaires. He is only 27.
Investment companies are likely to buy Facebook stock first. But investment manager Jim O’Shaugnessy says that is not so bad. He says the prices of some IPO stocks are too high and fall not long after they first go on sale.
Recently, share prices of some Internet businesses have fallen after their stocks were first offered. For example, stocks of Linkedln, Groupon and Zynga, dropped in price by as much as 25% after going public.
There were similar questions eight years ago when Google first sold stock to the public. Today, Google is one of the world’s most valuable technology companies.
60. Which of the following is true about Google?
A. Google’s first public stock sale began in 2005.
B. Google is the world’s most valuable company.
C. Google’s share price rose after its stock was first offered.
D. Google raised almost two billion dollars from its first public stock sale.
61. According to the passage, we can know Facebook ________.
A. has 800 million users in the USA B. has announced the date for its first stock sale
C. is the most visited website today D. is the world’s biggest social media network
62. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. Facebook stock is being sold very well
B. Mark Zuckerberg will get much money from the stock sale
C. Mark Zuckerberg was only 27 when Facebook was founded
D. investment companies have bought many Facebook shares
63. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Facebook and Its IPO B. The Difference Between Facebook and Google
C. The Founder of Facebook D. A Book Called The Facebook Effect
C
Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted .Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment（环境）friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem .One result is that millions of tons of glass ,paper ,plastic ,and metal containers are produced ,and these are difficult to get rid of .
However ,today ,more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment .Before they buy a product ,they ask questions like these :“Will this shampoo damage the environment ?”“Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once ?”
A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it .This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green ,” that is ,friendly to the environment .
Only a few years ago ,it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets ,but now there are hundreds .Some supermarket products carry labels （标签）to show that the product is green .Some companies have made the manufacturing （生产）of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising .
The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business .No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it ,use it ,throw it away ,and forget it .”The public pressure is on ,and gradually business is cleaning up its act .

Over the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.
Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself , each extra dollar makes less and less difference.
Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and happiness is complex. In the past half-century, average income has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues.
“Dollars buy status, and status makes people feel better,” conclude some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways---scientists or actors, for example—may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.
In a research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires—not just for money, but for friends, family, job, health—rose furthest bey
