三、阅读理解（共3题，每题5个小题，每小题2分，合计30分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
The American secret service began in 1865．It has many important jobs．One is to stop different types of fraud (诈骗), such as printing fake (假的) money, credit card fraud and computer fraud．The other is to protect the president at all times．
The secret service’s earliest job was to stop people from making fake money．The secret service agents (特工) still have to do that because the criminals (罪犯) are smarter now．They are better at using computers and other expensive equipment．But agents are much smarter．
Protecting the president is hard．The most dangerous places are outdoors．Agents can’t check every person in the crowd, so they must watch the crowd carefully．And they always follow the president．They’re just like the president’s shad ow．
Unluckily, some people do want to give the president trouble, or even hurt him．The secret service agents try to find them and stop them when they want to do something bad．It’s a dangerous, but important job．The secret service helps keep the president and the country safe．

Time managements is the greatest challenge for me in high school．I have to take good care of my subjects, activities, social life and rest．I was often angry with my family members just because I didn’t plan my time well．For example, I might shout at them for troubling me when I was working．And sometimes I might say something bad to them when I missed deadlines, even if it was actually my fault for cramming everything in (把所有的事情堆积起来) at the last minute．
As time goes by, I real ize that time management is very important in our everyday life．The best advice to deal with time management is “break it into bits”．It’s really important for you to learn how to break a big project into small, manageable tasks．Then you can work progressively and have a sens e of achievement whenever you’ve done with a small part.
Another piece of advice is to plan a timetable for yourself．It doesn’t have to be the one that you follow completely．It’s just there to serve as a guide．You can compare your actual timetable with the planned one to see how well you actually use your time．The final sugges tion is to always set deadlines for yourself．
Why was the writer angry with the family members?
A．The writer was weak in subjects．
B．The writer didn’t plan the time well．
C．The writer had no chance to plan activities．
D．The writer’s social life was boring．
For the writer, what’s the best advice to manage time?
A．To miss deadlines．
B．To cram everything in at the last minute．
C．To break a big project into bits．
D．To follow the timetable completely．
According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A．The writer studies in a university．
B．It’s impossible to break a big project into small tasks．
C．The writer always knows how to manage time well．
D．A timetable can serve you as a guide．
How many pieces of advice does the writer give?
A．One．
B．Two．
C．Three．

What’s the best title for the passage?
A．A Sense of Achievement
B．Time Management
C．A Timetable Planning
D．Deadline Setting
C
How much do you know about the bird world?
Birds use three gaits: walking, running and hopping．
In walking, the left and the right feet move in turn (轮流)．Each foot is on the ground for more than half the time, so there are more times when both feet are on the ground．In running, each foot is on the ground for less than half the time, and there are more times when both feet are off the ground．In hopping, the feet move almost at the same time．This means that for much of the time both feet are off the ground．
Middle-sized and large birds walk at low speed and either run or hop at higher speed．Small birds, such as sparrows and swallows, usually do not walk, because walking may be too slow for them．It seems that the more time a bird spends in trees, the more likely it is to hop．Perhaps there is wide space in a tree between one thin branch (树枝) and the next, so walking is not a good choice, while on each small branch there is enough room to set both feet down side by side, so hopping seems to make sense．
How is the bird moving when both feet are on the ground for more tha n half the time?
A．By flying．
B．By running．
C．By walking．
D．By hopping．
Which of the following shows a bird is hopping?
Why do the birds in trees usually move by hopping?
A．Space between the two branches is wide．
B．The birds in trees are small in size．
C．There is little room to set the birds’ feet on．
D．Branches are high in the air off the ground．
Which of the following usually moves by hopping?
A．A duck．
B．A chicken．
C．A snake．
D．A sparrow．
What does the underlined word “gaits” mean?
A．Directions of flying．
B．Speeds of moving．
C．Ways of moving．
D．Times of staying in trees．
