第三部分：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

A woman Vicki once knew a young person named Susan at church. Susan always seemed happy, although Vicki knew she had faced struggles in her life. Her long-awaited marriage had quickly ended in divorce, but her whole face seemed to smile.

One day Vicki asked Susan,“How is it that you are always so happy, you have so much energy, and you never seem to get down?”

With her eyes smiling, Susan said,“I know the secret!”

“What secret is that? What are you talking about?”Vicki asked.

Susan replied,“The secret is this: I have learned there is little I can do in my life that will make me truly happy. I must depend on God to make me happy and meet my needs. When a need arises in my life, I have to trust God to supply according to HIS riches. I have learned most of the time I don’t need half of what I think I do. He has never let me down. Since I learned that secret, I am happy.”

Vicki thought first, “That’s too simple!” But upon reflecting over her own life, she remembered how she thought a bigger house would make her happy, but it didn’t! She thought a better-paying job would make her happy, but it didn’t. When did she realize her greatest happiness? Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren, playing games, eating pizza or reading a story, this is a simple gift from God.

51. What do we know about Susan?

A. She lived a very happy life with her family.

B. She always wore a pretended smile on her face.

C. She had her own share of trouble in life.

D. She could overcome every difficulty in life.

B

Where have all the bicycles gone? Getting that first two-wheeler used to be one of childhood’s most exciting moments. It meant an expansion of the child’s world. The opportunity to travel beyond one’s street and meet friends at the playground, ball field, or just go to someone’s house on your own was an exciting new stage of independence. It also meant lots of exercise.

But bicycle sales are decreasing. Now, less than half of the children aged 7?11 regularly ride a bike. This is a serious change in the culture of our children’s lives.

But it is not just the crazy schedule of parents or the increased temptation of “screens”----- TV, video games, computers-----to play with. Another factor is playing a bigger role in the narrowing world of children. Surveys indicate parents fear that if they allow their children to roam ( 闲逛) freely about the town, those children may be abducted (诱拐) by strangers. School playgrounds are no longer safe places to hang out. The woods are no longer a great place to explore.

Parents couldn’t be more wrong. In fact, there are only 100--130 stranger abductions a year in the U.S. Besides, 75% of all abductions are carried out by people the child knows, most of which are done by divorced parents who are upset about custody (监护) arrangements. You and your child are three times more likely to be hit by lightning at a soccer game than your child is likely to experience a stranger abduction!

Children running free are very safe. Not only safe, but these children are learning to make creative use of their time, being physically active, and improving their social skills. Now what more could you ask for?

Don’t just shake your head and smile, as many parents do today, when your child tend to use instant messaging to talk to her friend next door. Turn off the computer and send her next door! Consider it a pleasure to yell down the street or call a friend to find your child at dinnertime. Let’s make bicycles something special for children once again.

58. The purpose of the passage is to _____.

A. call on people to ride bicycles

B. advise parents to let their children ride more

C. change parents’ attitude towards riding bicycles

D. encourage children to play outdoors more

C

In a recent study, participants were asked to drink beer from eithe
