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，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

As a little boy I read a book with a picture showing a man reading while floating in the Dead Sea. What a miracle! How would it feel to lie back in water so thick with salt that it was impossible to sink?

Fed by the Jordan River and smaller streams, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth’s surface, and its water is ten times saltier than the Mediterranean. As evaporation (蒸发)is its only outlet, salt and other minerals become super-concentrated.

Earlier this year, I drove down the long, steep hill to realize my dream. The shoreline was a broad area of bare salt-mud, but the water edge was out of sight. It seemed as if somebody had pulled the Dead Sea’s plug(插头). Eli Dior, an Israeli official, explained the problem “The Dead Sea is drying up. Every year, the surface falls about one meter, and as the water level falls, shallow areas are left high and dry.”

Over the last half-century, the five neighboring countries have used up almost all the water flowing into the Dead Sea to meet human and agriculture needs. Result the Dead Sea is being emptied.

With population in the neighbouring countries to double at least in the next 50 years, there is little hope of restoring the water being used in this area. No country has a drop to spare for the Dead Sea, where they know it will just evaporate. To dream of opening the dams and restoring natural balance is unrealistic.

Yet one ambitious high-tech dream may turn out to be not only the solution to the Dead Sea but also a ticket to peace around its shores. The “Red-Dead” is a proposed $5 billion project to bring sea water some 240 kilometers by pipeline and canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea. The Red-Dead may be the only solution, but even if the project is carried out successfully, the Dead Sea will be 10 to 20 meters lower than now and two thirds of its current size.

Whatever the future holds, the Dead Sea’s magical mix of sun, mud, sea and salt will surely survive. Many might complain that the Dead Sea is half empty—but for me the Dead sea will always be half full.

51. What's the passage mainly about ?

A. The Dead Sea is a miracle of the world. B. How to save the environment of the Dead Sea. C. Why the Dead Sea is so salty. D. The Dead Sea is slowly becoming smaller.

52. According to the passage, ,the Dead Sea is drying up mainly because ____. A. the water is evaporated in the Dead Sea area B. nearly no water flows into the Dead Sea C. much water is drawn from the Dead Sea

D. there is low annual rainfall in the Dead Sea area 53. It can be inferred from the passage that_____.

A. water crisis is a potential threat to the peace of the area around the Dead Sea B. as a result of the project “Red-Dead”, the Dead Sea will be two thirds larger C. the countries around the Dead Sea will join hands to spare water for the Sea D. If the Dead Sea dried up, great natural disasters would happen in the region . What is the writer's attitude towards the future of the Dead Sea?

A. Reserved B. Doubtful C. Optimistic D. Concerned

B

Moving to a new city and state was difficult for me, especially in winter. Little did I know that a Colorado snowstorm would greet me after I had been in my new home for only a week.

I just missed home. But more than the old house and the beach, I missed Stacey, my best

friend. And I missed our lovely tea. Going to a sweet little tearoom, we had discovered a special treat for us. The place was a Victorian dream, with delicate teacups and tablecloths with flower prints. The hat shelf near the front door swept us back to childhood. Stacey and I became little girls, trying on different hats until we found the perfect one for our dress-up tea party. We would then choose a lovely table and order our tea. That was a precious time, filled with laughter between scones（煎饼） and sharing our lives between tiny cucumber sandwiches.

Springtime descended upon Denver, and the sun lightened my heart. But I still fought loneliness almost every day. I decided to explore the Denver area. While my husband went to the office, I took time to see what our new area had to offer.

One day, I was walking along the street when suddenly the words \"Tea Leaves\" caught my eye. A tea room? Here, in the land of loneliness and pain?

I walked through the doors, and tears came to my eyes. It was a beautiful room, not Victorian, but simple and lovely.

I sat down and ordered a pot of tea, a cucumber sandwich, and some scones. It felt silly and wonderful -- and it felt like home. For the first time since moving, I felt as if this new city and state could be, would eventually be, my home. I would come back here and bring new friends. When Stacey visited, we would come here.

I lifted my cup and made a silent toast. I toasted Stacey, whom I missed, and I toasted the sweet little tearoom that lessened my pain.

55. The underlined word \"treat\" in Paragraph 2 probable means ____________.

A. delicious food B. a kind of tea party C. service D. something pleasant 56. Which of the following about \"Tea Leaves\" is true?

A. It made the author recall her childhood. B. It looks silly and wonderful.

C. It touched the author. D. Cucumber sandwiches and scones are its specialties.

57. We can infer from the text that the author would probably ____________.

A. want to actively adapt to the new environment

B. ask the owner of the teahouse to decorate it like a home C. open her own teahouse

D. go back to her hometown to visit Stacey 58. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. East and West, Home Is the Best B. A Cup of Comfort C. A Friend in Need Is A Friend Indeed D. A Difficult Settlement

C

“It hurts me more than you”, and “This is for your own good” —these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.

That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all

right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.

Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Clomps who says of her students—“so passive” —and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Clomps, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who’ vet never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying ‘go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”

Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It’ s time to take the car aw; tab-stops: 1ay, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it’ s for their own good. It’s s time to start telling them no again. 59. Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______. A. they watch TV too often

C. they have to fulfill too many duties

B. they have done too much homework D. teachers are too strict with them

60. We learn from the passage that the author’s mother used to lay emphasis on _______. A. learning Latin B. discipline C. natural development D. education at school

61. By “permissive period in education” (L.1,Para.2) the author means a time _______. A. when children are allowed to do what they wish to B. when everything can be taught at school C. when every child can be educated

D. when children are permitted to receive education 62. The main idea of the passage is that _______. A. parents should leave their children alone B. kids should have more activities at school C. it’s time to be more strict with our kids

D. parents should always set a good example to their kids

D

As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes (笔画) of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.

Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students. Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer.

All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.

It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.

“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”

“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”

Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?

Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “ Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”

To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.

63. The underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably means___. A. getting bored with B. getting dependent on C. becoming crazy aboutD. getting curious about

. The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because____. A. computers have become a trend and fashion in China

B. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays C. they find it not easy to remember how to write a character

D. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently

65. Which of the following statement is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting? A. Handwriting contains the writer’s emotions.

B. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.

C. Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self-confidence. D. The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting. 66. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage? A. To Type or to Handwrite.

B. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.

C. Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand. D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.

“Reduce, reuse, and recycle”, this familiar environmentalist slogan tells us how to reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfills and waterways. The concept is being used to deal with one possibly dangerous form of waste — electronic junk (电子垃圾), such as old computers, cell phones, and televisions. But this process for managing e-waste may be used in an unscrupulous(肆无忌惮的) way more often than not used, a recent report suggests.

“A lot of these materials are being sent to developing nations under the excuse of reuse — to bridge the digital divide,” said Richard Gutierrez, a policy researcher.

One of the problems is that no one proves whether these old machines work before they hit the seaways. Because of this, the report says, e-waste is a growing problem in Lagos, Nigeria, and elsewhere in the developing world. Much of the waste ends up being thrown away along rivers and roads. Often it’s picked apart by poor people, who may face dangerous exposure to poisonous chemicals in the equipment.

Businessmen also pay workers a little money to get back materials such as gold and copper. This low-tech recovery process could expose workers and the local environment to many dangerous materials used to build electronics. According to Gutierrez, this shadow economy exists because the excuse of recycling and reusing electronics gives businessmen “a green passport” to ship waste around the globe. “Developing nations must take upon some of the responsibility themselves,” Gutierrez said. But, he added, “A greater portion of this responsibility should fall on the exporting state.”

China, for example, has become a dumping place for large amounts of e-waste. The nation is beginning to take action to stop the flow of dangerous materials across its borders. The Chinese government, after many years of denial is finally beginning to take the lead. 67. The passage mainly tells us that _______.

A. developing countries are making full use of e-waste B. e-waste is a growing problem in developed countries

C. developing countries are facing serious environmental problems D. e-waste is sent to developing countries under the excuse of reuse 68. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?

A. A lot of e-waste is dumped in developing countries. B. Old computers and TVs still work before sent abroad. C. The problem of e-waste is growing in developing countries.

D. Poor people break up e-waste to collect some valuable materials 69. From what Gutierrez said we can learn that ________.

A. poor countries should be blamed for this problem.

B. exporting countries should be mainly responsible for this problem. C. neither rich nor poor countries should be blamed for this problem. D. developing countries should be responsible for this problem. 70. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____________.

A. China has greatly changed her idea about the problem of e-waste B. China has hidden a large amount of e-waste in many secret places C. China is falling behind other countries in dealing with e-waste

D. China has prevented poisonous materials entering China for a long time

【范文赏读】

In our daily life, we are often confronted with difficulties, even great troubles. Some people do nothing but wait, while others face them bravely and conquer them. Personally, I think we should learn to face difficulties positively and make every effort to overcome them.

My memory drew me back to four years ago when I was a junior middle school student. At that time, I had great trouble studying English. First of all, I felt it hard to memorize English words. Besides, I didn’t dare to say anything in class when the teacher asked questions though I knew some answers. What annoyed me most was that I failed exams constantly. I was about to give up when my English teacher found problem. He encouraged me and gave me some good advice. Inspired by him, I was determined to defeat it. Following his advice, I made progress gradually.

From my experience, I can draw a conclusion that difficulties are weak if you are brave enough. So keep up and try to defeat them whenever you have any. Never wait for the storm to pass; instead, learn to dance in the rain. 附:听力参考材料
