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,D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
(A)
The orange towers of the Golden Gate Bridge—probably the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed bridge in the world—are visible from almost every point of elevation in San Francisco.
The only cleft (穿过) in Northern California's 600-mile continental wall, for years this mile-wide strait was considered unbridgeable. As much an architectural as an engineering feat, the Golden Gate took only 52 months to design and build. Designed by Joseph Strauss, it was the first really massive(庞大的)suspension bridge, with a span of 4200ft, and until 1959 ranked as the world's longest. It connects the city at its northwesterly point on the peninsula to Marin County and Northern California, and was designed to withstand(经受住)winds of up to a hundred miles an hour and to swing as much as 27ft. Handsome on a clear day, the bridge takes on an eerie(阴森森的) quality when the thick white fogs pour in and hide it almost completely.
You can either drive or walk across. The drive is the more thrilling of the two options as you race under the bridge's towers, but the half-hour walk across it really gives you time to take in its enormous size and absorb the views of the city behind you and the headlands of Northern California straight ahead. Pause at the midway point and consider the seven or so suicides(自杀) a month who choose this spot, 260ft up, as their jumping-off spot. Monitors of such events speculate that victims always face the city before they leap. In 1995, when the suicide toll from the bridge had reached almost 1000, police kept the figures quiet to avoid a rush of would-be suicides going for the dubious(令人怀疑的)distinction of being the thousandth person to leap.
Perhaps the best loved symbol of San Francisco, in 1987 the Golden Gate proved an auspicious (幸运的)place for a sunrise party when crowds gathered to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. Some quarter of a million people turned up (a third of the city's entire population); the winds were strong and the huge numbers caused the bridge to buckle, but fortunately not to break.
56.The underlined word “buckle” here means_______________.
A.collapse B.crash C.bend D.shake
57.The Golden Gate Bridge was completed in _______________.
A.1922 B.1995 C.1937 D.1959
58.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.The Golden Gate is the longest bridge in the world.
B.So far about 1000 people killed themselves from the Golden Gate.
C.It took the workers 52 months to build the Golden Gate.
D.San Francisco had a population of about 750,000 in 1987.
59.If you want to enjoy the views of San Francisco from the bridge, you'd better cross the bridge ________.
A.by train B.on foot C.by car D.by ship
(B)
One summer evening I was sitting by the open window, reading a good science storybook. (1) I was so interested in the story I was reading that I did not notice that it was getting dark. When I realized it was too dark for me to read easily, I put the book down and got up to turn on the light. Just then I heard someone crying, “Help! Help!” It seemed to come from the trees at the other end of the yard. (2) I looked out but it was now too dark to see anything clearly. Almost immediately I heard the cry again. It sounded like a child, but I could not imagine what anybody could be doing in our backyard, unless one of the neighborhood children had climbed a tree and had not been able to get down.
I decided that I should to out and have a look in the yard, just in case someone was in trouble. I turned on the light and found for myself a flashlight and a stick in the room. I thought they might be useful. Armed with these, I went out into the yard. Once again I heard the cry and this time there was no doubt that it came from the trees at the far end of the yard. “Who's there?” I called out as I walked across the yard towards the trees. But there was no answer. With the help of my flashlight, I searched all over that end of the yard, including the branches of the tree. There was no sign of anybody or anything. I came to the conclusion that my imagination was playing tricks on me, probably because of the story I was reading about strange creatures on another planet.
Feeling rather foolish about hunting around in my own backyard with a baseball bat, I went back into the house and put the bat and the flashlight away. I had just sat down to read my book again when I was frightened by the cry of “Help! Help!” from right behind me. I dropped my book and jumped up. There, sitting on the table was a large green and red bird. It was my neighbor's parrot(鹦鹉)! While I was out in the yard, the parrot must have seen the light in the living room and come in through the open window.
60.One summer evening the author was reading by the open window because _______________.
A.it was getting dark B.it was too dark for him to read easily outside
C.he didn't turn on the light D.none of the above
61.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.The author heard a cry for help as soon as he put the book down and got up
B.Hardly had the author got up and turned on the light when he heard a cry for help
C.The author looked out because it was too dark to see anything inside
D.A child, whose voice sounded like a parrot, was crying for help on the top of a tree
62.The book the author was reading was ________________________ .
A.an ordinary book about science
B.a science book on sound
C.a science story-book about strange creatures on a certain heavenly body
D.a book on how to play tricks on others
63.Finally the author found ______________________ .
A.that he was a very foolish person
B.that he had got used to the cry for help
C.a large green and red bird flying into his living room from his neighbor's house
D.the secret
(C)
Most of us lead unhealthy lives; we spend far too much sitting down. If in addition we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow moving. There are some aspects(方面) of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils. The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.
For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports—and it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at them—there are such separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimming. What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.
Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, you are still only half way to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation(放松). It has to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on. Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical (讽刺性的), though, that as our lives have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity—physical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the other—which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.
64.Pollution, noise and stress are examples of __________________.
A.causes of unfitness B.bad features of living in towns
C.the things we can completely do away with D.unavoidable things in town
65.We don't get much out of separate sports because we _______________.
A.don't do them very often B.don't do them actively enough
C.find it hard to get out of our armchairs D.don't find them interesting
66.To be healthy we must _______________________.
A.keep fit and active B.keep fit and learn to relax
C.be active and practise Yoga D.have a sound mind
67.Our forefathers were healthy because___________________.
A.their way of life closely connected with both exercise and relaxation
B.they were careful to get plenty of fresh air
C.they spent most of the time out of doors
D.their environment was not polluted
(D)
Lisa, a middle-aged woman, went to prepare lunch, leaving her 3-year-old son, Barney, playing by himself in the backyard.
All of a sudden, a sharp cry of Barney came into the mother's ears, and Lisa rushed into the backyard and found a big snake entwining(纠缠) the little child with its body and trying to swallow the boy. Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She made up her mind to save her son from the snake's mouth.
It was a fearless mother's love that made Lisa forget what she faced. She took up an old hatchet (斧头)from the ground and struck the snake with all her strength.
One...two... With the hatchet, Lisa hit the snake again and again, but she felt as if she were striking a mass of solid rubber. The little boy's voice and breath were getting weaker and weaker. Lisa's heart was broken and she nearly went mad.
Suddenly Lisa put aside the hatchet and threw herself on to the snake, opened her mouth and bit into its back, as if tearing a tough steak(牛排). Lisa was really mad.
A small piece of flesh was bitten off. Lisa picked up the hatchet again and hit at the wound in the snake's back madly and savagely.
Stinking blood was spraying out of the snake's body. The snake was so badly wounded that it let go of Barney and moved back into the forest. It had never imagined that human beings had such terrible, sharp teeth. Halfway home, the snake died.
68.What did Lisa find when she came into the backyard?
A.A big snake was swallowing her son.
B.Her son was playing with a poisonous snake.
C.Her son was in danger of losing his life.
D.Barney was fighting a big snake.
69.Why did Lisa fail in killing the snake at first?
A.Because she was afraid that what she did would hurt her son.
B.Because the hatchet was not sharp enough and the snake's skin was too hard.
C.Because the snake was even stronger than Lisa.
D.Because she was too astonished to do anything.
70. ________, so she bit the snake.
A.Lisa was really driven mad
B.Lisa thought her teeth were much sharper than the hatchet
C.Lisa couldn't refuse the temptation of the snake's meat
D.Lisa had not got any other way to deal with the snake

(E)
As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easy to change later in life. Financial experts say that every one also has their own belief of how to manage their money. According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.
◆ The ant — works first
Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don't care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks(股票) with low risk.
◆ The cricket — fun first
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance(保险).
◆ The snail — lives under pressure
The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans(贷款) from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.
72.One’s values may___________________.
A.be his ways of managing money B.be his beliefs about society
C.determine his family and education D.influence his behavior
73.Mr. Smith always enjoys spending a weekend with his friends, fishing, hunting and playing cards.
Moreover, he spends money in a very luxurious way. So, ________________.
A.Mr. Smith belongs to the ant type B.Mr. Smith belongs to the cricket type
C.Mr. Smith belongs to the snail type D.it’s hard to tell which kind of person Mr. Smith is
74.The writer of the passage seems to be in favor of ___________________.
A.the ant B.the cricket C.the snail D.none of them
75 According to the passage, the most suitable title would be _______________.
A.Spending Nature B.What Comes First C.How to Understand Your Values D.Work and Fun

Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world’s largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.
The streams, lakes, grassland, mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the area. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos’ natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy(大自然保护协会)named the area one of America’s “Last Great Places”.
Operating out of a century – old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennylvania, Cook, one of the Conservaney’s branches, is working with local people and business leaders to balance ________________________. By developing partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than, 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.
Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program, As a result, his family’s land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a safe financial future for their 7--year–old grandson.
Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents(英才苑居民 ).
“The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,” Cook said, “The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation efforts.”
For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world’s other “Last Great Places ”, please call 1- 888- 564 6864, or visit us on the World Wide Web at www. tnc . org .

Dear Editor ,
I’m a senior high student .
答案与解析
1—5 CACBC 6—10 BACBA 11—15 BACAC 16—20 ACBBA
21.D。句意是:只要任他按自己的方法去做,他肯定会按时完成工作的。so long as“只要”符合题意。in that因为,在……方面;in case万一;as far as远至,同样的距离。
22.He is always here; it's ___________you've never met him.
A.unique B.strange C.rare D.particular22.B。本题考核词义辨析。根据句意,空白处应填入表示“奇怪”之意的形容词,因此正确答案为B。unique 独特的;rare 罕见的;particular 独特的。全句意为:他总在这里,而你竟从未遇见过,真奇怪。
23.D。句意是:近年来,人们更多地强调培养学生的创新动手能力。on作介词,表示动作的对象。
24.A。句意是:虽然我们二十多年没见面,但我一眼就认出了她。the moment(that)是“—……就”的意思,用法相当于as soon as。其他短语有 for the moment暂时,目前;at the moment此刻,目前。
25.B。句意是:我们都未料到主席会在晚会上出现,我们原以为他还在医院里。turn up出现,在场;turn in交上,上交;turn over翻转,移交;turn down拒绝,关小,调低。
26.D。第一个空强调美国南方的历史,用定冠词进行特指;第二个空表示“一段……的历史”,用不定冠词。
27.B。句意是:摄入太多脂肪会促发高血压,心脏病。contribute to导致,有助于。attribute把原因归究为…,常与to连用;attend to致力于,专心于;devote to将……奉献给。
28.C。句意是:所有任务都提前完成了,他们决定休假一周。从逗号判断,应填入短语形式而非句子,所以排除B,D,A的分词结构有误。
29.A。句意是:等他到北京时,我们将已在北京呆了两天了。本句中一个明显的标志是“by the time”在本句中表示到将来某个时间为止,主句谓语动词用将来完成时。
30.D。句意是:这篇文章要求更多地注意外语教与学中的文化因素的影响。care for 关心,在乎; apply for 申请;allow for 在计算、估算、考虑时算在内。call for要求,呼吁。
31.A。句意是:这篇文章建议,当一个人处于莫大压力之下时,他尤其要留意使自己的饮食营养均衡。本题难点在于一般同学只注意到后的从句要用虚拟语气,却忽略了本题虚拟语气已在题干中出现,需填的动词是从句中又套入的时间状语从句的谓语,应当用陈述语气。
32.A。句意是:晚上出门时我使用自行车而不用轿车。in spite of 意为:“不顾,不管”;regardless of “不考虑”; other than“ 不同于,除了”。
33.A。本题考核定语从句。全句为一个用分号连接的并列句。后一分句的主语部分内含一个定语从句。由于 all 为先行词时,后接的定语从句必须用关系代词 than ,因此,正确答案为A。全句意为:这些人曾经名利双全;而如今(所留下的一切)却是一贫如洗。
34.B。根据句意,空白处应填入一个名词构成表示“使我们感到放心”之意的介词短语。因此正确答案为B。anxiety 意为“焦虑”; view 意为“观点”; judgment 意为“判断”。全句意为:使我们松一口气的是,杰弗里的病并没有像我们所担心的那样严重。
35.A。句意是:在最近几十年里,除了增加了一两个加油站之外,新英格兰地区相对没有什么变化。二者的不同在于,前者用来说明前后两个相等的同类的成分,eg.We all went there except him. 而后者连接的两个词并不是相等的关系而是部分与整体的关系。eg. Your composition is fairly good except for some spelling faults.

书面表达:
Dear Editor,
I’m a senior high student. Now many students use mobile phones .They think it’s a fashion to use mobile phones .Besides ,it’s very convenient to get in touch with their families and friends by using mobile phones. But some students break the rules in class. They bring their mobile phones to the classroom and we often hear the ring of mobile phones in class. Some of them even waste precious time in class typing short messages on the mobile phones .
In my opinion ,the classroom is a place for students to gain knowledge .Therefore quietness is badly needed for us to learn our lessons .Those with mobile phones shouldn’t take mobile phones to the classroom . We are supposed to concentrate on our studies. The school should make a rule to forbid the students to use mobile phones in the classroom.
Yours sincerely
Wang Li

M: Mary, can you stay for dinner?
W: I'd love to, but I have to go and send some mail before going shopping.
[Text 2]
W: You have arranged to meet Mr. Johnson on Wednesday. So I don't have to write to him, do I?
M: There's no need to write to him.
[Text 3]
M: Look! Jack has got the ball. He's going like lightning towards Oxford's goal. Oh, go on Jack.
W: That Oxford centre half back is trying to stop him.
[Text 4]
W: Did you see the film on Channel 4 last night?
M: Well, I meant to see it, but a friend of mine came to see me. We had a nice long chat about our school days.
[Text 5]
W: I would certainly like to buy the brown suit I saw in the store, but I don't have enough money.
M: Well, if you would cut down some of your expenses, you would be able to buy it.
[Text 6]
M: I'm wondering if it's going to be fine this afternoon.
W: For what?
M: The sports meeting! It's fixed at 2:00,but the fog! You can only see a short distance.
W: But don't you see the wind's beginning to lift it up? I bet it will be fine this afternoon.
M: Don't be so sure.
W: You heard the forecast this morning, didn't you?
M: No. That's why I'm worried.
W: Why not try the 24-hour telephone weather forecast service?
M: Gee! How come I didn't think of that? I'll do it right away.
[Text 7]
W: How soon do I have to leave my room?
M: Normally it's by 12 noon on the day you leave.
W: Well, you see, my plane doesn't go till half past five tomorrow afternoon.
M: I see. Which room is it, madam?
W: Room 577, my name is Browning.
M: Ah yes, Mrs. Browning. You may keep your room then till 2 p.m. , if you wish.
W: Oh, that's nice. By the way, how long will it take to get to the airport from here?
M: It's usually a 90-minute ride. But you'd better set off at 2:30 in case there is a traffic jam on the way.
[Text 8]
M: Miss Dermott, let me ask you straight away. Do you think, within a few years, many people could work at home instead of working in offices?
W: Oh yes. It's happening now. You see, the communications industry has made much progress in the last ten years.
M: And how do these people manage to work? I mean, what equipment do they have at home?
W: Well, they have a television set, a computer, a printer, and a telephone, to connect them with other computers.
M: Oh. I see. But surely there're some advantages in being able to work at home.
W: Yes. Working at home, people don't have to spend a lot of time getting to and from their work places.
M: Ah yes, I see. What do you think about the conditions of home-workers?
W: Oh, let me tell you what might happen. In the future a British firm in, for example, London, might employ clerks in Belfast, or a Paris company could have their seeretaries in Spain, and then they just use a telephone to call around for the labour.

M: I'd prefer a later time so that I can come along after work.
W: Then what about 6:15?

M: Today I'd like to tell you something about traveling by bike in London. If you visit London, you'll see a lot of buses and cars, and also a lot of bikes. It's very cheap and quick to use a bike. If you take a bus, you often have to wait for half an hour or so. What's more, the buses move very slowly. The underground is quick but very expensive and often crowded. I used to travel to work by bus. I often arrived at work late, and tired. Then a friend of mine suggested we go to work together by bike. I followed him. Although we went slowly, we always arrived on time. Taking a bus took 50 minutes, while riding a bike took only half an hour. Now I love riding a bike to work. I've got a little more money now, and I feel much better.
