阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。

I know a doctor who is an expert in the area of nuclear medicine and is regarded by his peers as one of the most brilliant in his field.

When I asked him about his feelings concerning his 36 , he responded as follows, and 37 me to present:

"As far as I am concerned, a day will come, many years in the 38 , where people will look at this science of nuclear medicine and they will 39 it to a craft practiced by witch doctors(巫医). They will wonder how people could have been so 40 to use radioactive dyes in the nuclear imaging process. They will 41 my published research and think that I must have been a foolish doctor."

He further explained," 42 of the day can be the stupidity of tomorrow. The scholars who 43 my work today will be denied by the intellectuals of tomorrow. I am not 44 by their high regard of my 45 because I know a day will come in the future where we are all regarded as having been miserable 46 ."

"Ever hear of a guy named Aristotle? In his day, he was considered to be a 47 Of course, he also believed 48 in the concept that the sun revolved around the earth. Years later, he would be 49 by Galileo and Copernicus, who no doubt considered Aristotle to be a total fool."

He concluded by stating, "I find certain scientists to be the most 50 people I know, generally, totally 51 ,and convinced that they have the answer to all problems. In my mind, a reasonably 52 person is the fellow who recognizes that life is little more than a lot of questions 53 answers, and one answer should only lead to another question. The truly intelligent person is somebody who 54 life is little more than a string of uncertainties and the immediate answers we acquire are rarely absolutes, but only a(n) 55 to the next string of uncertainties."

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

Each year, we are exposed to ten thousand ads on average. They try to sell us their products by using beautiful art , videos, images or slogans that are catchy. The most famous companies have highly popular logos that can be recognized by almost everybody. For those of you who have seen the movie Finding Forrester, there is that scene where Jamal walks up to some guy with a BMW and asks him what the car logo means. The man did not know the answer and since that day , whenever I see a famous company logo I try to find the meaning of it.

Many think the horse on the Ferrari logo represents the horsepower of the cars they manufacture. The story behind it is far more interesting. During World War I, a pilot, Count Francesco Barraca, painted the horse on his airplane to bring him luck. He had it on his plane because it was the logo of his squadron (空军中队). Barraea's mother then convinced Enzo Ferrari to put the logo on his racing cars in the early 1930's to bring good luck to the drivers. The logo then stayed the same ever since. The yellow on the background represents the birthplace of Enzo Ferrari.

Starbucks started in 1971, in Seattle. The mermaid (美人鱼) represented on the logo is now known by any coffee drinker. It is a mythological sea creature with the look of a female, the only difference being that they have a tail of a fish. The reason why Starbucks incorporated one in their company logo is that it was believed mermaids used to sing to sailors in order to make them walk away from their ship or to ground their ships. In the 1500s, spices, tea and coffee were popular merchandise to trade. So the mermaid in the logo of Starbucks is the one that "brings" coffee and tea to the stores.

56. The writer became interested in logos of some famous brands after .

A. he watched an attractive movie B. he saw a scene in a movie

C. he walked up to some guy with a BMW

D. he noticed some famous logos

57. Many companies use logos because .

A. people enjoy beautiful logos

B. people are more likely to buy their products

C. people can recognize the products more easily

D. people are interested in the meanings of the logos

58. From the second paragraph, we can conclude that .

A. Barraca once served in the navy

B. Barraca took part in car racing

C. Enzo Ferrari founded a car company

D. Enzo Ferrari liked horses very much

59. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3 ?

A. Starbucks was once a company trading spices, tea and coffee.

B. Hearing mermaids sing, sailors would know the right direction.

C. Starbucks has a history of more than five hundred years.

D. The logo of Starbucks is believed to make the business better.

60. The underlined word in the third paragraph probably means .

A. included B. abandoned C. corrected D. designed

B

"Peter, I'd like you to stay for a minute after class." Calvin teaches my favorite body conditioning class at the gym.

"What did I do?" I asked him.

"It's what you didn't do."

"What didn't I do.'?"

"Fail."

"You kept me after class for not failing?"

"This," he began to imitate my casual weightlifting style, using weights that were obviously too light, "is not going to get you anywhere. A muscle only grows if you work it till it fails. You need to use more challenging weights. You need to fail."

Yet most of us spend a great effort trying to avoid even the possibility of failure.

Dr. Carol Dweck, professor at Stanford University, has done a large amount of research to understand what makes someone give up in the face of hardship rather than struggle to overcome it.

It turns out the answer is deceptively simple. It's all in your head.

If you believe that your talents are inborn or fixed, then you will try to avoid failure at all costs because failure is proof of your limitations.

But if you believe your talents grow with persistence and effort, then you see failure as an opportunity to improve.

Michael Jordan, arguably the world's best basketball player, has a growth mindset. In high school he was cut from the basketball team but that obviously didn't discourage him: "I've missed more than 9,000 shots in
