　　第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）

　　Oprah Winfrey’s own story is an inspiration because she overcame almost every obstacle that a person might face． She is an icon（圣像） to people all over the world because of her commitment （献身） to help those who have faced similar obstacles． We therefore salute a friend and a role model．

　　It is said over and over, but it is always true that young people are the future． Oprah, 53, shared our views that the gains of our democracy would be nullified（废止） if we did not properly educate our children and youth． She obviously recognized the potential in our youth． The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls—located near Johannesburg and educating girls in Grades 7 through 12—is therefore a wonderfully appropriate gift to the people of South Africa, one that will endure（持续） over many lifetimes．

　　When I went to the opening of her school, I looked at the shining faces of these young women and thought every one of them has the potential to be an Oprah Winfrey． The school is important because it will change the courses of these girls’ lives and it will brighten the future of all women in South Africa．

　　Oprah understands that in Africa, women and girls have often been doubly disadvantaged． They have had the curse of low expectations and unequal opportunities． She is a model for a all of them—and for all of us —of what one person can do to make a difference in the loves of others．That is why we consider her to be one of our heroes．

　　56． The author called Oprah Winfrey “a role model” because ________．

　　A． she sets a good example to people in trouble B． she is always ready to accept different people

　　C． she wrote inspiring stories about herself

　　D． she has faced many obstacles in her life

　　57． Oprah Winfrey’s purpose in opening a school near Johannesburg is to ________．

　　A． keep democracy in South Africa

　　B． help educate black people in Africa

　　C． help change girls’ life in South Africa D． fight for black people’s freedom

　　58． The underlined word “curse” in the last paragraph means ________．

　　A． tradition B． danger C． pressure D． disadvantage

　　59． The author wrote the passage to ________．

　　My dad was never the kind to offer many words of love or encouragement． But we knew he loved us．．． he just had his own way of showing it．

　　When I was a teen, we were seasonal campers at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived． Each family had their own campsite with water and electric, and you basically parked your camper there from May through October． Most “Seasonals” visited them every weekend during those months, with the occasional weeklong stay． There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend, and they came to be some of my closest friends． Of course, many of them were boys．

　　We kids paired up with our little boyfriends or girlfriends, and we'd hold hands as we'd walk around the campground． We'd play ping-pong, have some snacks, and play songs． Most weekends were pretty similar, but the couples would change． You'd see so-and-so with a different so-and-so than they were with the weekend before． You know how it is when you're a teen — a three-week relationship is a really long time．

　　So, needless to say, my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys． But every single one of them had something in common．．． they'd all received The Evil Eye．

　　The Evil Eye was a magical sort of thing． One simple look from my dad, and the boy immediately knew not to mess with me． It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser（激光）beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys' brains．

　　“You will not put your hands on my daughter．．． You will not kiss my daughter．．． You will not even whisper sweet nothings into my daughter's ear．”

　　I remember one night in particular, walking with a boy around the campground after dark． We came from one direction, and my dad from the other． The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second, then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away, giving me a quick, “See ya later．”

　　Yes, the Evil Eye． Best way ever to keep wandering teen boy hands away from your daughters．

　　60． The Evil Eye in the passage implies that________．

　　A． Dad gets angry easily B． Dad’s eyes are like evil’s

　　C． Dad’s eyes are ugly-looking D． Dad’s eyes are protective to his daughter

　　A． cause trouble B． make untidy C． get married to D． talk to

　　62． Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　A． As teenagers, we went camping every weekendB． We made lots of friends during the seasonal camping．

　　C． We had regular boyfriends or girlfriends and enjoyed ourselves．

　　63． It can be inferred from the passage that the author ________．

　　A． is a teenage girl who loves her father

　　B． is a teenage boy who hates his father

　　C． is now an adult who has come to understand her father’s love

　　D． used to be a naughty boy who changed girlfriends now and then

　　Full details can be found in: Shell Guide and Handbook; Middle School Academic Guide 2009-11; Middle School Academic Guide 2010-12; Sixth Form Guide 2009-11 and Sixth Form Guide 2010-12．

　　Formal and structured educational support, for those who need it, is available at all levels． The well-stocked Library is open 7 days and 6 evenings per week． ICT facilities （including the Internet） are available for all and the whole school （studies within the Houses as well as classrooms） is extensively networked．

　　Pupils are offered extensive careers advice throughout their time at King’s． Almost all go to university, either immediately or following a GAP year． The most popular university destinations are Cambridge, Bristol, Nottingham, Durham, Leeds, Oxford, Edinburgh, Manchester, and University College, London．

　　A severe heatwave sweeping India, with temperatures of almost 44ºC, the highest in 52 years, has killed at least 80 people this month, officials said on Sunday． The hot weather, which officials say would continue over northern, north-western and central India in the next 48 hours, also may have some impact on wheat production, exporters and flour-mill associations said．

　　New Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 43．7ºC on Saturday, indicating a hot summer in the next two months in the nation's capital and other parts of northern and eastern India． The highest temperature in the past 24 hours was 47ºC at Ganganagar city, in Rajasthan state． Summer temperatures have been 4ºC-6ºC above normal over most parts of northern and central India since March, weather officials said．

　　In the eastern state of Orissa, authorities have decided to shut down schools from next Tuesday, advancing the annual summer holiday． Authorities said they were investigating reports of 53 deaths from various parts of the state．

　　Yawning is so contagious（具有传染性） that chimpanzees can “catch” it from cartoons, according to research．

　　Scientists from Emory University in Atlanta, US, have discovered that a cartoon of a yawning chimp will stimulate（刺激） real chimps to yawn． They describe in the Royal Society journal, Proceedings B, how this could assist in the future study of empathy（移情作用）． The work could also help explain if and how computer games might cause children to imitate what they see on screen．

　　Previous studies have already shown contagious yawning in chimpanzees—stimulated by video-recorded footage of yawns．

　　“We wanted to expand on that, “ explained Matthew Campbell, a researcher from Emory University’s Yerkes National Primate Research Center and lead author of the study． “We’re interested in using cartoon for presenting stimuli to animals, because we can control all the features of what we show them,” he continued．

　　Although Dr Campbell doesn’t think the chips were “fooled” by the cartoons into thinking they were looking at real chimps, he explained that there was evidence that chimpanzees “process animated（动画的） faces the same way they process photographs of faces”．

　　He said: “It’s not a real chimpanzee, but it kind of looks like a chimpanzee, and they’re responding to that．”

　　He and his team, including Devyn Carter who designed the cartoons, showed the animals the yawning sequences．

　　“We also had the cartoons doing other movements with their mouths that the chimps often do,’’ he said． “The chimps showed a lot more yawning during the yawn video when the control videos were playing．”

　　He told BBC News that the only way he and his colleagues could explain the “very strong difference” they saw was that seeing the yawns was making the animals yawn．
