第三部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分30分）
第一節(jié) （共10小題；每小題2分，滿分20分）
A
Howling is a behaviour commonly observed among a wolf pack. As pack animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other. There are different explanations of a wolf’s howl and it appears that there may be more to discover.
One theory is that wolves howl to bond better together. It’s almost as if howling together helps the pack stay together. Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H. Harrington, a professor who studies wolf behaviour.
Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus, and the next, quarreling among each other. It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may actually be “punished” for joining in the chorus at times. So is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members? ―Why do wolves howl for sure?
What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other. Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times. When this happens, howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering.
Howling, interestingly, is a contagious behaviour. When one wolf starts to howl, very likely others will follow. This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call” where wolves all howl together to report their presence.
56. What is the possible similarity between wolves’ howling together and humans’ singing in chorus?
A. The act of calling each other. B. The sense of accomplishment.
C. The act of hunting for something. D. The sense of belonging to a group.
57. Why does Harrington think the “social bond” theory may be wrong?
A. Wolves separate from each other after howling.
B. Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds.
C. Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together.
D. Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus.
58. Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to ______.
A. show their ranks B. find their companions
C. report the missing ones D. express their loneliness
59. “Howling… is a contagious behaviour” (in the last paragraph) means _______.
A. howling is a signal for hunting
B. howling is a way of communication
C. howling often occurs in the morning
D. howling spreads from one to another
B
I got my first driver’s license (執(zhí)照) in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my 20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver’s license，ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21. “Mr. Henry Smith, your husband, will have to sign for you,” he said.
I argued, pointing to a very large belly (肚子) of mine, “I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?” He answered coldly, “It’s the law, madam.”
Henry encouraged me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it. “No,” I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license.
I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail ― using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland, and I had to take the Maryland driver’s exam. Since then I just go in and renew every four years―sign the name Susan Brown, have my new picture taken, and walk out with a license to drive.
60. Susan got her first driver’s license _________.
A. before she got married to Henry
B. when she was twenty years old
C. after she finished high school
D. when she just moved to Maryland
61. We can infer from the text that in the U.S. _________.
A. American males should serve in the army
B. different states my have different laws
C. people have to renew their licenses in their home states
D. women should adopt their husbands’ family names after marriage

Q&A
Question: I have recently got a senior position within my company. One of my new tasks is to make monthly progress reports on my department in front of other senior officials. During my first meeting, I presented and then opened the floor to questions. 66 My first reaction was to answer defensively. Later, I realized that I shouldn’t have felt that way. But how can I keep cool and effectively answer questions in this type of settings?
Answer: Congratulations on your new position! Presenting in front of your peers (同事) is a hard task in itself, and it becomes much more difficult when a question-and-answer period is required. Question-and-answer periods as a great way to clarify the message and strengthen key points. 67
● 68
When a person is asking a question, show interest and a desire to understand the question by listening and asking for clarification.
● Buy time.
When facing a hard question, most people can’t give an answer immediately. Buy time by repeating the question in your own words. 69 These techniques allow you to quickly organize your thoughts as well as to make sure you will be correctly answering the question.
● Suggest a private meeting.
A one-on-one meeting is a calmer setting than speaking in front of your peers. 70
A. Show your true interest.
B. Restate the question with respect.
C. Some ideas can be quite concrete.
D. There were many difficult questions.
E. It can also be more effective in exchanging ideas.

Li Lei,
I am really sorry that you lost your wallet. But you are only making more trouble for yourself by not telling your parents the truth. You are getting into debt with your friends, who although will be happy to help for a while, will soon become tired of giving you their money.
Also your studies are being affected as you cannot concentrate. The only way to solve this problem is to talk to your parents. They likely to be angry, but they won’t be angry forever. They love you and just want the best for you.
The longer you leave this problem, the worse it will become for you. Now you must fix it before things become much more serious.
