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，从短文后各题所给的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。
A
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did
he envy my luck?” “And Paul—why didn’t pick up that he was friendly just because
I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when
we look back, it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies? Sometimes what people say
hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind
the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” That’s being friendly.
But “lucky dog” ? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see
it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise
that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to
get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up
in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you
to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take
a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture ? The look in his eyes ? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
56. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that .
A. we fail to listen carefully when they talk
B. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say
C. people usually state one thing but mean another
D. we tend to doubt what our friends say
57. In the sentence “Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.” In the second paragraph,
the pronoun “it” refers to _________.
A. being friendly
B. a bit of envy
C. lucky dog
D. your luck
58. When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is to _________ .
A. notice the way the person is talking
B. take a good look at the person talking
C. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes
D. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture
B
One of the most important skills in reading is the knowledge of words. Since Vocabulary Building and Word Study, another book in this series, is devoted to vocabulary development, we are not going to deal with this skill directly, but you should be aware of some basic facts. The number of words you know determines the difficulty and complexity of the material you can read and understand. If you have an extremely limited reading vocabulary, you will be able to read only very simple material. For example, children just beginning to read in first grade must use books that only have a few dozen words in them. As they progress through school their reading vocabulary keeps increasing until they are adults. Adults typically have reading vocabularies of over 50,000 words.
Failure to develop an extensive reading vocabulary will definitely hold you back in your efforts to improve comprehension. Most people learn new words by encountering them in reading or conversation, where the meaning is usually clear from the context.
A few words are learned by looking them up in the dictionary.
A good way to expand your vocabulary is to read a lot, especially in different areas. In that way you will find many new words, which are often explained by the author. One of the main purposes of a beginning textbook is to explain the language of the field about which it is written. Thus you can expect to increase your vocabulary a lot if you read a textbook in a field that is new to you.
If you feel that vocabulary is a problem for you, you may wish to do something systematic about it. There are many good books designed to help develop vocabulary,
including the one in this series.
59. This passage mainly discusses __________.
A. the importance of developing vocabulary and how to expand it
B. systematic ways to develop vocabulary
C. the degree of vocabulary difficulty
D. how to read a text in an interesting field
60. The difficulty of a reading material is partly decided by _________ according
to the passage.
A. how often you do reading
B. how much vocabulary you have
C. the speed of progress readers make in school
D. whether you look difficult words up in the dictionary
61. This passage is __________.
A. part of a lecture on reading
B. an article about science
C. an introduction to a book on how to develop vocabulary
D. a news report about how much vocabulary should be mastered by readers
62. One of the factors that prevent readers from reading fast is ____________.
A. looking words up in the dictionary
B. a limited mastery of vocabulary
C. new words explained by the author
D. reading materials in different areas
63. Which of the statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The passage is taken from a book on how to expand vocabulary in a systematic way.
B. There is no satisfactory way to expand vocabulary.
C. For beginners, it is not proper to read books with too many new words.
D. Vocabulary keeps increasing until learners are adults.

In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources (资源), the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products（可持续产品）. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.
Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to get chances in the new round of the global energy revolution （革命）. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable
