第三部分 閱讀（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）

第一節(jié)： 閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

In 2008, the main candidates（候選人）for President each used this expression: “You can put lipstick（口紅）on a pig, but it is still a pig.” This means that it is a waste of time to change something from ugly or unpleasant–looking to beautiful.

There are other expressions about improving a pig’s appearance, like this one: “A hog in a silk waistcoat is still a hog.” Hogs are similar to pigs, only bigger. Americans use many other expressions about pigs, hogs and female hogs called sows, like this one, “You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” This means you cannot create something valuable from something that has no value. Then there is the expression “Cast pearls before swine（豬）.” That means wasting something valuable on someone who will not be thankful or care about it.

Hogs, which are very large animals, take up a lot of space but people should not take up more than their share. If one of your children is taking up too much space sitting in front of the television, other children might say: “Do not hog the couch.” And a road hog is a driver who uses more than his share of the road. Such a driver increases dangers for other drivers.

Pig terms are also used in American politics. Farmers mark their pig’s ears to identify them. In politics, earmarks are money set aside for projects in a congressman’s home state.

In many areas, pigs provide ham, bacon and other pork products to eat. All Americans want to be able to bring home the bacon because they want to earn enough money to provide the necessities of life. Experts say this term was first used in the 1920s. But it is believed to come from the much older game of catching a greased（涂了油的）pig. This was a popular event at country fairs in which the winner was awarded the pig.

41. The author writes this passage mainly to _________.

A. express his support for the Presidential Election

B. introduce some expressions used in Americans’ daily life

C. criticize the bad influence caused by expressions about pigs

D. discuss some problems caused by expressions about pigs

42. If you give a good book to a person who can’t read, which of the following is the most suitable to describe it?

A. Cast pearls before swine.

B. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig.

C. A hog in a silk waistcoat is still a hog.

D. You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

43. A driver who takes up too much space on the road is often referred to as _________.

A. a greased pig     B. a couch hog

C. a road hog  D. a road earmark

44. How many words which refer to the same animal are mentioned in this passage?

A. Three  B. Four   C. Five    D. Six

45. Which of the following expressions are similar to “You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.”?

A. When pigs fly!  B. To eat like a pig

C. To sell a pig in a pork.      D. To sweat like a pig.

 Songs that make our hearts happy can make them stronger too, US researchers reported on Tuesday.

They found when people listened to their favorite music, their blood vessels (血管) dilated in much the same way as when they are laughing, or taking blood medications.

   "We have a pretty impressive effect," said Dr Michael Miller, director of preventive cardiology (心臟病學(xué)) at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore.

   "Blood vessel diameter improved," he said. "The vessel opened up pretty significantly. You can see the vessels opening up with other activities such as exercise." A similar effect is seen with drugs such as statins.

When blood vessels open up more, blood flows more smoothly and is less likely to form the clots (凝塊) that cause heart attacks and strokes. "We are not saying to stop your statins or not to exercise but rather to add this to an overall program of heart health," said Miller, who presented his findings to a meeting of the American Heart Association in New Orleans.

   Miller's team tested 10 healthy, non-smoking men and women, who were told to bring their favorite music. They spent half an hour listening to the recordings and half an hour listening to music they said made them feel anxious while the researchers did ultrasound tests designed to show blood vessel function.

Compared to their normal baseline measurements, blood vessel diameter increased 26 percent on average when the volunteers heard their joyful music. Listening to music they disliked — in most cases in this group heavy metal — blood vessels narrowed by six percent, Miller said.

   Miller said he came up with the idea after discovering that laughter caused blood to literally flow more smoothly. "I asked myself what other things make us feel real good, besides calories from dark chocolate of course. Music came to mind. ... It makes me feel really good," he said.

   Most of the volunteers chose country music but Miller said the style is not so important rather than what pleases each individual.

41. The underlined word dilate (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “_____”.

A. widen             B. move               C. change              D. increase    

42. According to the passage, which of the following will NOT cause blood vessels to open up?

A. Taking exercise.                   B. Listening to unpleasant music.

C. Bursting into laughter.                  D. Taking drugs like statins.

43. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

A. blood clots are caused by heart attacks and strokes

B. music is better than chocolate for your health

C. the style of music has different effects on different people

D. a person’s overall health is more influenced by how much exercise he gets

44. What is the passage possibly taken out from?

A. A scientific journal.             B. A school textbook.

C. A medical brochure.                   D. A local newspaper.

45. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Pleasant Music Cures         B. Research into Blood Vessel

C. Music and Heart Attack                D. Music and Happiness
