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
Left alone for over a month after the sad death of their owner, cats Roly Poly and Pudding never stood much of a chance. Amazingly, however, the lucky pair survived thanks to their vast fat.
Police found the fat cats after reports of a smell coming from their elderly owner's home in Walsall, West Midlands. Both cats were close to death, but had kept on diet although having no access to food. When officers found the pair, they were still overweight at over nine kilos t- more than twice the weight of a normal cat.
RSPCA inspectors believe the cats managed to stay alive because of their owner's feeding habits, and could have been even heavier before they were discovered.
Judith Haw, from the RSPCA, said, "The cats were obviously much-loved by their owner, but perhaps a bit too much. We think the lady didn't have any relatives who could care for the cats and she didn't have time to let anyone else know. The cats did not have access to any food and were using the house as a toilet, so police were called when neighbors complained about the smell."
Judith said the cats, which are being eared for at Foxtwood Cattery near Stoke, need a new home with a perfect parent who would be a health-conscious fitness fanatic (狂热者). She also said, "We'd love to find the cats a personal trainer or perhaps someone who is on a diet so they can help the cats lose weight, too."
56. Which of the following is mentioned in the text?
A. The cats are being looked after near Stoke.
B. Inspectors from RSPCA called the police.
C. The lady had time to let anyone else know her death.
D. The cats are twice heavier than a normal cat.
57. RSPCA inspectors thought the cats can survive owing to ______ .
A. their owner's feeding habits B. too much food
C. their owner's love D. RSPCA's careful attending
58. According to Judith, the cats ______ .
A. were left alone for a month B. needed a toilet
C. should be fed scientifically D. gave off some terrible smell
59. We can infer from the passage that ______ .
A. the lady didn't have any relatives
B. the cats might have had nowhere to stay
C. police found the pair in Walsall
D. the cats' owner massively overfed them
B
As the job-hunting season is approaching, many graduates are suffering from anxiety. Worried about not getting satisfactory offers, some students have sleep problems, or even lose their appetite (胃口).
According to a survey across several universities in Wuhan, over 72 percent are worried about finding a Job. Students in the first one or two years are also uneasy about their job expectations, which contributes to spreading anxiety further.
Lang Lei, a business major from Renmin University, hoped to get a position in a large state-owned enterprise. But when it turned out that things wouldn't be so easy, Lang became concerned. "I began to worry," said Lang, who has now changed to more realistic goals. "Sometimes It was impossible for me to stop worrying. I had to talk about it on and on with my friends."
Others feel anxious while waiting for interview results. Mo long, a senior software engineering major at South China Normal University, said, "For a day or two, I couldn't help but keep thinking about how I performed in front of the interviewers, how well I answered their questions, and whether they would consider giving me a chance in the end.". Mo was even unable to focus on other things as his apprehension grew. Often he just wanted to grab a phone to call the Human Resources Department, but he didn't have their number.
Wen Fang, a well-known educator in Beijing, advises students not to be misled by the surveys and reports about the job market. "Unemployment rates are not linked to personal chances of getting a job, which is mainly determined by his or her ability."
According to Wen, a mild degree of anxiety is normal, which can even be helpful. But if it constantly affects a student's normal life, one should pay more attention. "Focus on adapting yourself to the needs of society, and never expect too much of your goals," Wen added.

A. he couldn't get through to the number B. he'd rather talk with his friends

C. we should set a suitable goal D. constant anxiety may affect a student's normal life
63. What does the underlined word in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Expectations. B. Anxiety. C. Understanding. D. Chances.

Australia's Opera House and Harbor Bridge are going to be joined by a new landmark after the local government approved a £330 million, l5-hectare (公顷) Chinese-themed park including a full-sized copy of the gates to Beijing's Forbidden City. The park, to be built in Wyong Shire, about 50 miles north of Sydney, will also have a nine-story temple housing a giant Buddha and a mini-city modeled on Chinese water towns.
The local mayor (市长), Doug Eaton, said the park, to be finished by 2020, is going to become one of the country's main tourist attractions. "Outside the Opera House and Harbor Bridge, this has the potential to be among the biggest tourist attractions in the state," he said, "What this project will do is turn the Wyong Shire into a tourist attraction and bring millions of dollars worth of tourism into the area, which will have a lasting effect on the local development."
The local government has agreed to sell the land to the Australian Chinese Theme Park Pty Ltd., the private company behind the project. Construction will begin with the building of the Forbidden City gates in 2015.

"It is going to be a unique S500 million tourist attraction, employing more than a thousand people and bringing a bright future to Wyong Shire," said Bruce Zhong, chairman of the ACTP. The project is designed to take advantage of Chinese tourist market.
