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选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Last week I visited one of my old neighborhoods in Washington D.C. I had not been there for twenty years and as I walked along the street, my mind was flooded by memories of the past. I saw the old apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played. As I viewed these once familiar surroundings, images of myself as a child there came to mind. However, what I saw and what I remembered were not the same. I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched.

My old apartment building, as I remember, was bright and alive. It was more than just a place to live. It was a movie house, a space station, or whatever my young mind could imagine. I would steal away with my friends and play in the basement. This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark, and there were so many things there to hide among. There was a small river in the back of the building. We would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves.

However, what I saw was completely different. The apartment building was now in disrepair. What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in. The windows were all broken. The once clean walls were covered with dirty marks. The river was hardly recognizable. The water was polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead. The once sweet-smelling river now smelled terrible. It was really heartbreaking to see all this.

I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood. However, I do not think my innocent childhood memories can ever be the same. I suppose it is true when they say, “You can never go home again.”

56. In the first two paragraphs of the passage the writer tries to tell us that ________.

A. he had lived in Washington D.C. for twenty years

B. he was very imaginative when he was a child

C. he had had pleasant memories of his old neighborhood

D. he had come from a very poor neighborhood

57. How did the writer feel when he visited his old neighborhood in Washington D.C.?

A. Greatly surprised. B. Very regretful. C. Quite excited. D. Very sad.

58. On his visit to his hometown, the writer found the old apartment building ________.

A. seemed unfit to live in B. had been repaired

C. could hardly be recognized D. looked dirty and smelt horrible

59. “You can never go home again” in the last sentence of this passage means that ________.

A. one should never revisit his hometown after many years of absence

B. one will never find his hometown the same as it was in his childhood memory

C. a visit to one’s hometown will bring back one’s pleasant memories of home

D. a visit to one’s hometown will bring back many sad memories

B

From a very early age, some children exhibit better?self-control than others．Now, a new study that began with about 1，000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a child’s low self-control can predict poor health, money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years．

Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now．They observed the level of self-control the youngsters displayed．Parents，teachers, even the kids themselves scored the youngsters on measures like “acting before thinking” and “Persistence in reaching goals．”

The study led ?by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1,000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin New Zealand．

“The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten, later on had the most health problems in their 30s，” Moffitt said, “and they had the worst financial situation. They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income．”Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed, and weren’t just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids．

Moffitt said it’s still unclear why some children have better self-control than others, though she said other researchers have found that it’s mostly a learned behavior, with relatively little genetic influence．But good self-control can be set to run in families, because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents．But the good news，Moffitt said is that self-control can be taught by parents and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective．

60. From the first two paragraphs we learn that ?________．

A. the research has been carried out for five years

B. self-control in kids tends to determine their future

C. self-control was assessed by children’s intelligence

D. children’s self-control is almost the same at early age

61．Children with low self-control are more likely to ?________．

A. become wealthy in later life ? ? B. get good school performance

C. have better financial p
