三、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。
A
One winter morning, a water pipe in our junior high school building burst because of cold. Arriving at school, we found our classroom flooded with all the desks dripping with (浸满) water. We began fishing out things from there, but soon we were told to go and use the music room until everything would get dry and clean.
During the following several days, surrounded by angry-looking portraits of the world’s greatest composers, we took classes, sitting around an old piano. Though the teachers were complaining about damp maps and workbooks rescued from the flood, we students were happily excited about this unexpected situation.
It was on the piano that I found a tattered (破旧的) copy of Daddy Long Legs someone had left. Along with funny illustrations, some words of Judy, a girl in the book, caught my attention. “Life is monotonous enough at best ... but imagine how deadly monotonous enough at best it would be if nothing unexpected could happen between meals.” “Everybody likes a few surprises.”
I thought I knew exactly what she was talking about and instantly counted her as my friend. Her school life itself, which consisted of exams, assignments, games, parties and vacations, however, seemed just like anybody else’s. I wondered what it was that made the book so attractive to its readers if her life was not particularly unusual and what her “surprises” really meant.
Soon we moved back to our regular classroom, but the good feelings we had had during our surprise-time still remained with us for a while. Gradually, I began to feel that surprises can be happy additions to your daily life only when the daily life is a stable and solid one. Life is monotonous. But, if you try to enjoy every moment of your simple life, like Judy, with the help of your imagination, you will discover small surprises to smile at here and there in your life itself.

It was one of the biggest breakups in history. More than 40 million years ago, the island continent of Australia snapped (断裂) free of the vast landmass that included Antarctic and South America and began to drift toward the equator. Cut off from the rest of the world, plant and animal life on the super-island began to go its own way, evolving into forms found nowhere else on earth.
The male bower bird (园丁鸟) is an accomplished avian (鸟类的) architect that has long fascinated scientists with its remarkably complex courting behavior. Instead of using just showy feathers or a romantic melody to attract a mate, the pigeon-sized bower bird constructs a complex structure — a bower — on the forest floor from tiny branches, leaves, and moss (苔藓). It then decorates the bower with colorful materials, from feathers to berries and shells.
The bowers aren’t nests for raising kids; they are designed to attract one or more mates. When a female arrives to inspect the bower, the male struts (大摇大摆地走) and sings. He hopes to convince her to enter the bower, where mating takes place.
Overall, there are 17 kinds of bower birds in Australia and on the neighboring island of New Guinea. Each builds its own shape of bower and prefers a different decorating scheme. A few, for instance, surround their bowers with carefully-planted lawns of moss. Others have been known to steal shiny coins, spoons — even a glass eye — in an effort to create the perfect romantic mood. Some, like the blue Satin bower bird, even “paint” the walls of their structures with chewed berries or charcoal.

D. The male bower bird: the most clever bird in the world
C
When I volunteer for a cause, or just lend a helping hand to a friend in need, I feel really good inside. Researcher Alan Luks knows for a fact that volunteers gain many benefits from the act of giving, like a reduction in stress and depression, a decrease in physical pain, and a rush of endorphins (脑内啡) that makes people feel great inside.
In a study of more than 3,000 volunteers from more than 20 charitable (慈善的) organizations across America, Luks analyzed how the volunteers felt both during and after conducting their acts of kindness. Luks, who wrote the book “The Healing Power of Doing Good: The Health and Spiritual Benefits of Helping Others,” was able to directly link a feeling of good health with volunteering.
One of the most unique things Luks found was what he coined (创造) as “helper’s high.” This refers to the rush of endorphins the body releases during and after performing an act of volunteering. Endorphins are the body’s natural pain killers, and are often released during acts of great pleasure, like when someone wins the lottery. Once endorphins are released, they help the body experience a sustained feeling of calm that can increase overall emotional health.
The benefits of volunteering are particularly strong for young people. Young volunteers learn how to respect differences and how to appreciate their own families and circumstances. Teenagers who volunteer regularly at a nursing home or shelter learn to become trustworthy as others in the community come to rely on them. In addition, they get wonderful on-the-job skills training. And there’s been a lot of research into how volunteering prevents risky behaviors in teens, and can help increase academic (的) success in teens already considered at-risk.
So, we’re seeing scientific proof that giving to others yields benefits not just for the receiver, but the giver. But, really, haven’t we always known that giving is better than getting? Volunteering is not just good for the one who gets, but for the one who gives, too. 46. What would be the best title of the passage?
A. How volunteering benefits young people B. Volunteering benefits volunteers too C. Who benefits more from volunteering?
D. Volunteering helps reduce stress and depression
47. Once endorphins are released，people will . A. feel great pain
B. become stressed
C. have a strong feeling of calm D. experience great pleasure
48. Which of the following is NOT among the benefits of volunteering for young people?
A. They will be more likely to trust others. B. They can get practical working skills.
C. They are more willing to accept the differences between people. D. They are more likely to achieve academic success.
49. We can infer from the fourth paragraph that .
A. teens already considered at-risk can’t take part in volunteering
B. volunteering can help teens already considered at-risk change for the better C. teens already considered at-risk can’t get the same benefit from volunteering D. we can find risky behaviors in teens during the course of volunteering
50. The author of the passage probably . A. doesn’t do voluntary work often
B. knows little about the benefits of volunteering C. took part in Alan Luks’ study
D. fully supports volunteering

The Expo 2010 Shanghai China is essentially a world’s fair. At this fair, 189 countries build structures, called “pavilions”, to showcase (展览、展示) the architecture, style and theme of the pavilions, as well as present displays, presentations, and a variety of programming inside
the pavilions. There are also many organizations and corporations that participate in the Expo by building pavilions related to their own special interests.
The main purpose of the Expo is to showcase whatever each country has to offer with hopes that people or corporations from other countries will be impressed and decide to conduct business in that country.
For example, Switzerland has a pavilion that showcases their diversity, the Swiss Alps, and the high quality of life in Switzerland. Cuba will highlight what they are famous for: cigars and cocktails.
The architecture, the themes, and the displays inside of the pavilions are all designed to promote the benefits of the various countries. Basically, the countries are trying to sell themselves to the rest of the world with hopes that it will translate into more opportunities for their countries.
The World Expo is similar to the Olympic Games in some ways. They’re both global in scale and cities from around the world compete to become the host city for the event. The Olympics are held every 4 years, but the World Expo is held every 5 years. The World Expo actually runs for 6 months, much longer than the Olympic Games.
The city chosen to host a World Expo will get similar benefits as a city that hosts the Olympic Games. Some of the benefits include worldwide exposure, improved global status, revenue from tourism, and city-wide improvements to handle the millions of expected visitors. Many people say that the costs involved outweigh (超过) any benefits that might get from the event. 51. The main purpose of the Expo is to show . A. how developed a country is
B. the high quality life in a country
C. the best businesses in a country
D. what a country is famous for
52. At the pavilion of Switzerland, people can learn about . A. how high the Swiss Alps is B. their high quality life C. their cigars and cocktails
D. the long history of Switzerland
53. The participating countries build the pavilions mainly to .
A. show their unique architectural styles B. find new opportunities for their countries
C. attract foreign visitors D. sell what they have to offer
54. We can infer from the last paragraph that .
A. a host city can benefit more from the World Expo than from the Olympic Games B. the World Expo is less beneficial compared with the Olympic Games C. only a host city can benefit from the World Expo
D. many people are doubtful about the benefits of the World Expo
55. The underlined word “revenue” in the last paragraph has a similar meaning to “ ”.
A. opinions
B. tickets
C. income
D. advice
