阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36-55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．

Anthropology is a science which deals with man and his social habits. I think of anthropology here as "being interested, without 36, in the way other people choose to live and 37."

-When you are curious about the way someone behaves or the way　38　feel about something, it's　39　that you will he annoyed（恼火）.

When someone acts in a way that seems 40 to you, rather than react in your usual way, such as "I can't believe they would do that," 41 say something to yourself like "I see, that must be the way they 42 things in their world. Very interesting." In order for this 43 to help you, you have to be genuine (真诚的).

Recently I was at a shopping mall with my six-year old daughter　44　a group of punk rockers walked by with orange spiked hair and tattoos (纹身) covering much of their bodies. At the sight of them, my daughter immediately asked me, "Daddy, why are they 45 like that?" Years ago I would have felt very 46 with such young people. I would have given a judgmental explanation and passed along to her my 47. Pretending to be an anthropolgist, however, has 48 my perspective (看法) a great deal, so it's made me 49 .I said to my daughter, "I'm not really sure, but it's interesting how 50 we all are, isn't it?" She said, "Yeah, 51 I like my own hair."

When you are interested in other perspectives, it doesn't mean you're 52　them. I certainly wouldn't choose a punk rock lifestyle or 53 it to anyone else. At the same time, however, it's really not my 54 to judge it either. One of the most important rules of joyful living is that judging others takes a great deal of energy and 55 you away from where you want to be．

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

"Go for it!"

The expression "Go for it!" is a way of encouraging someone to try something.

"Go for it!"means you should not worry about failure or be to careful. You should take a chance, be brave, and act firmly.

"Go for it!"gets name from football. Not football as it is played in most countries such as England, Egypt or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada.

One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three attempts, to move the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a critical decision.

The conservative (保守) choice is to kick the ball and accept temporary defeat in order to gain a good position for your team the next time it gets the ball. The more exciting choice, however, is to try a fourth and final time to gain the remaining yards needed.

People present are certain to shout their advice. Some will shout: "Kick the ball!" But others will encourage the team to take a chance. "Go for it!" they will scream.

In the nineteen eighties, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations to encourage

somecone to act bravely.

There is no guarantee (保证) that the action you "go for it" will succeed.

But that is the chance you take when you decide to go for it. You put your fears behind. You choose courage over safety. You hold your breath and go for it.

56. The expression "Go for it!" comes from _______

A. English football　　　　　　　　　B. Egyptian football

C. Japanese football　　　　　　　　　D. American football

57. According to the passage, when we decide to go for it, we only consider ________

A. safety　　　　　B. action　　　　　C. result　　　　　　　D. situation

58. In which of the following situations should we use the expression nowadays?

A We decide to avoid trouble or danger for the future.

B. We try to improve our English for better education.

C. We need to make a quick decision at the last moment.

D. We have to make a choice between success and failure.

B

A Battery's Worst Nightmare (噩梦)

Portable electronics that can be carried about easily are only as good as their batteries and, let's face it, batteries aren't very good, especially when compared with, say, petrol, which packs 100 times a battery's energy into an equal space. That's why a large group of mechanical engineers (centered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but with partners at other universities and companies) are hard at work in an effort to replace batteries with a tiny engine that runs on fuel. Imagine a battery-free life! When the fuel runs out in your laptop or mobile phone, you just fill up and go.

The engine-about the size of a ten-cent coin-starts with a combustionchamber (燃烧室) that burns hydrogen (氢) . Its tiny parts are etched onto silicon wafers (硅片) in the same manner that computer parts are imprinted onto integrated circuits (集成电路). The first engine is made up of five wafers. And since these wafers could be produced in much the same way as computer chips, they could probably be produced quite cheaply.

But the devil in all this nice detail is efficiency（效率）. Tiny engine parts don't always behave like their scaled-up parts of the first engine. Something between the parts can slow down the works, according to Columbia University professor Luc Frechette, one of the engine's designers. Extreme heat from the combustionchamber is also a problem, often leaking to other parts of the engine.

The scientists' goal is to create an engine that will operate at 10 percent efficiency -that is, 10 times better than batteries operate. Frechette says that a complete system, with all parts of place and working, will be set up in the next couple of years, but commercial models aren't like until at least the end of the next ten years.

59. According to the passage, the title suggests that ________

A. batteries should be greatly improved

B. petrol will be used instead of batteries

C. the time of batteries will be gone forever

D. pollution caused by batteries must be solved

60. What's the meaning of the underlined word "devil" in paragraph 3?
