阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Standing by the swimming pool, June was really hot, so she decided to dive into the water. Not having swam in the past several years and being a bit out of shape, she became 36 quickly.

“Ah, no pain no gain,” June thought to herself. She continued to swim, realizing her head was hurting and her body was starting to get numb. Breathing became 37 for her and her vision(视野) wasn’t so 38 . She saw the life guard and a couple of other people near the pool, 39 she decided that there was no sense in embarrassing herself or bothering anyone. She continued, and soon she found herself in the middle of the pool.

She was a bit worried, but by pushing herself she finally made it to the other side of the pool. As she stood in the shallow water, her body swayed back and forth, 40 she needed help but unable to even say anything, she leaned against the pool side and stood there.

Several minutes later she had enough 41 to barely pull her body up out of the pool. Sitting on the side of the pool with her feet in the water she felt the lifeguard was 42 at her. June nodded at him to let him know that she was okay.

Have you ever been in 43 and chosen not to ask for help? We’ve all been there. One suggestion is to 44 your instincts(本能) and seek another’s aid. There is nothing 45 with that, or June could have drowned（淹死）.

Perhaps you find yourself 46 help because you’re afraid you’ll be 47 . Please, stop and ask for help — before you find yourself “drowning”. Life has many ups and downs. Let others help you when you are down.

When you find yourself 48 to “keep your head above water,” stop, look around and listen. In such a situation, if you 49 , you’ll almost certainly slip further into trouble. Always take 50

to listen to your body and be kind to yourself. You’ll find the journey of life happier and more fulfilling.

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

请认真阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

(A)

The temperature of the sun is over 5000 degrees Fahrenheit(华氏温度) at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center. The sun is so much hotter than the earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core(核). In the core of the sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core. However, no one really knows, since the center of the sun can never be directly observed.

Solar astronomers do know that the sun is divided into five zones(环带). Starting at the outside and going down into the sun, the zones are the corona, chromospheres, photosphere, convection zone and finally the core. The first three zones are regarded as the sun’s atmosphere. But since the sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main body of the sun begins.

The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full moon. Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse. The corona’s rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike rays near the sun’s north and south poles.

The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at the high speeds and reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets. By the time the sun’s corona rays reach the Earth, they are weak and invisible.

51. Matter on the sun can exist only in the form of gas because of the sun’s ______.

A. size B. age C. location D. temperature

52. All of the following are parts of the sun’s atmosphere EXCEPT the ______.

A. corona B. convection zone C. photosphere D. chromospheres

53. According to the passage, as the corona rays reach the planets, they become ______.

A. Hotter B. clearer C. thinner D. stronger

(B)

Parents with an adopted（收养）child wonder whether, when and
