第三部分 ?閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）

第一節(jié)（共10小題;每小題3分，滿分30分）

A

Abby Subark is a mother of two from Boston. “For my kids， Im nervous. I dont know if theyll be able to achieve their American dream.” She may be right. More than hard work or education， the best way to get rich in America is to be born rich.

It is the case that somebody who is in the upper third of income， with poor scores at the bottom on tests when they are in eighth grade， is more likely to go to college and finish college than a poor kid with the top scores. Thats what the working persons children are up against.

The Economic Policy Institute finds it would take a poor couple with 2 children 9 or 10 generations to achieve middle-class status. Thats about 200 years. The typical feature of American opportunity has always been the ability to do better than your parents. But compared with similar developed countries， the United States is fifth out of six for so–called intergenerational mobility（變動）. If you look at the mechanisms（機(jī)制）for upward mobility that were so readily available 50 years ago， they are becoming out of reach， like plentiful factory jobs with good money and affordable education and health care. White families are twice as likely as blacks to be upwardly mobile. For most people in America today， where you end up depends on where you start.

If you started in the middle-income class， about 40 to 45 percent of what you are making right now is due to the fact that your parents were in the middle-income class. The rest is up to you.

But for the millions of people who find themselves below the poverty line and the millions more who are the working poor， their starting point for the American dream leaves them painfully far away from the middle class.

41. Abby Subark is nervous because her kids ___ .

A. cannot easily reach their goals B. cannot succeed with poor score

C. dont want to achieve success at all D. dont ?want to continue their education

42. What can we learn from Paragraph 3？

A. A great many poor people can achieve middle-class status.

B. The American dream is to do better than old generations.

C. People used to have more opportunities for upward mobility.

D. You can make your dreams come true in America if born rich.

43. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 most probably mean？

A. A high goal can make you successful. B. Your birth had nothing to do with your future.

C. Your family lays solid foundation for your future. D. Your starting point cannot determine your destination.

44. Whats ?the main idea of the passage？

A. How the middle class comes about in the U.S.. B. Social status depends on family background.

C. Upward mobility in America has been easy. D. ?Its hard for poor Americans to realise American dream.

45. Whats the best title of the passage？

A. American dream. B. Far away from middle class.

C. Lower starting point， hard to realize dream. D. Starting point determine future.

B

Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do？ Well， next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device（裝置）which uses satellites（衛(wèi)星）to find the users position（位置）. It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot ?start your car， but at least you will know where you are.

GPS， which means Global Positioning System， is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand， or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars， planes， or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps， so you know where you are. For example， in a city they can tell you the name of the street .

There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand， or have it fixed into your car， plane， etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates（計算）its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.

Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate（精確的）. There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.

46. With the help of the GPS， people can ___ .

A. easily find the way B. know a place well

C. learn about the culture of an unknown place D. spend the least time getting to another place

47. Which of the following is TRUE about GPS？

A. It consists of three parts. B. It is usually put in a watch.

C. It can help you start your car. D. It is becoming more and more expensive.

48. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 means “___”.

A. Receivers B. GPS devices C. Satellites D. Ground stations

49. The passage is mainly about ___ .

A. the history of the GPS B. the introduction of the GPS

C. the shape of the GPS D. the three parts of the GPS

50. What can we infer from the passage？

A. GPS devices must have electronic maps.

B. People in many countries will use the GPS for free.

C. The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites.

D. The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life.
