For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation.

The bar is set at a slightly faster rate ___48___ the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read faster, ___49___ word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization, practically impossible.

At first ___50___ is replaced by speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts(概念), you will not only read faster, ___51___ your understanding will be better.

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(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

A new mobile phone virus, CommWarrior, came out late last week. It can transmit itself from phone to phone through multimedia messages, and can spread much faster than earlier viruses that rely on Bluetooth wireless connections. At its worst, CommWarrior can destroy batteries and run up unwanted bills.

  With that scary news, here’s the science question of the week:

  Q: Will a virus infect your mobile phone?

  Not unless you are (a) really rich and (b) careless.

  Although experts admit that the number of viruses aimed at mobile phones has rocketed this year, they are not yet out of control. The viruses affect only top of the range smart phones, which are usually expensive and are relatively rare.

  Smart phones are vulnerable (脆弱的)to viruses because they run advanced operating systems which can download and incorporate (并入)new software.

  What if you have bought a smart phone? No need to drop it. After all, experts say, the viruses are only a problem if users invite them to become so. “It’s just like in the PC world, where people have learned not to install (安装)applications that arrive in funny email messages, ”says Antti Vihavainen, a Finish mobile anti-virus expert. “It’s exactly the same with mobile phones. ”

  The new virus relies on users installing it by opening the infected file. It has to hide itself in up to 20 different messages, disguised (伪装)as everything from legitimate (合法的)software updates to pornographic (色情的)pictures.

56. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

  A. CommWarrior is a new mobile phone virus.

  B. CommWarrior can spread faster than earlier viruses.

  C. CommWarrior relies on Bluetooth wireless connections.

  D. Your mobile phone won’t work when infected by CommWarrior.

57. If you have ______ phone, it is not likely to be affected by CommWarrior.

  A. a smart   B. an expensive  C. a relatively rare  D. an ordinary

58. Which of the following should you do to avoid the infection of the CommWarrior?

  A. Be careful to download or incorporate new software.

  B. Drop the smart phone you’ve bought.

  C. Install the applications that arrive in funny email messages.

  D. Don’t receive or send messages.

59. Which of the following best explains the phrase “run up”in the first paragraph?

  A. pay off     B. cause to grow quickly in amount

  C. come out    D. use up             

B

When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.

Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?

Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.

Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at the time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.

Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”

Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously (同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(进入) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.

60.How do you understand “Point 1--The telephone creates the need to communicate, …”?

A. People don’t communicate without telephone.

B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.

C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.

D. People communicate more because of more traffic.

61. Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?

A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.

B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well as little secret to people.

C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.

D. Mobile phones are part of people’s life.

62. Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life?

a. Point 1.  b. Point2.  c. Point3.  d. Point 4.  e. Point 5.

A. c, d     B. a, e    C. a, c     D. b, e

63. The best heading for the passage is ______.

A. Phone Power              B. Kinds of Phone

C. How to Use Phones           D. Advantage of Phones

C

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.

One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”

I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands. “For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.

Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll .In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was I. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”

64. By saying “Karl became withdrawn”, the author means that the boy changed entirely and ______.

    A. preferred to stay alone at home    B. lost interest in his studies

    C. refused to talk to others      D. began to dislike his mother

65. There was silence on the other end of the line because _________.

    A. the speaker was too moved to say anything to the mother

    B. the speaker waited for the mother to finish speaking

    C. the speaker didn’t want the mother to recognize his voice

    D. the speaker was unable to interrupt the mother

66. The sentence “…he even made the honor roll” means that “_________”.

    A. he was even on the list to be praised at the parent-teacher meeting

    B. he was even on the list of students who made progress in grades

    C. he was even on the list of students who had turned themselves around

    D. he was even on the list of the best students at school

67. What is the main idea of this passage?

    A. Children in single-parent families often have mental problems.

    B. Mother’s love plays an important role in teenagers’ life.

    C. Being understood by parents is very important to teenagers.

D.School education doesn’t work without full support from parents.

D

  April 6, 2005 BERLIN -- It has led to numerous expeditions, several mysterious deaths and plenty of books. But 60 years after Nazi officers hid metal boxes in the depths of Lake Toplitz, a new attempt is being made to recover the Third Reich's fabled (传说中的) lost gold. The Austrian government has given a U.S. team permission to make an underwater expedition to the bottom of the lake.

  Groups of treasure hunters have been racing to Lake Toplitz ever since a group of diehard Nazis escaped to this picturesque part of the Austrian Alps in the final months of the Second World War. With U. S. troops closing in and Germany on the edge of collapse (垮台), they shipped the boxes to the bank of the lake, and sunk them.

  Nobody knows exactly what was inside. Some believe the boxes contained gold stolen by German troops throughout Europe and carried back to Germany. Others think that they contained documents showing where possessions confiscated (没收)from Jewish victims were hidden. The state company that controls the lake, Bundesforste AG, has signed a contract with Norman Scott, an American treasure hunter, who hopes to solve the mystery.

  Later this month, Scott will begin a detailed underwater expedition of the 350-foot-deep lake, though there is official doubt that there is anything left to find. "I really don't know if there is anything down there, but we want to resolve the mystery once and for all," Irwin Klissenbauer, a director of Bundesforste AG, told the Guardian Tuesday. "The aim at first is to measure the lake.” He added: "This is a beautiful area. You have heard of Loch Ness. For Austrians this has been a bit like Loch Ness. Lots of people come here. And whether there is gold down there or not, the mystery has been very good for tourism."

  Klissenbauer said that under the terms of the deal—which allows the U.S. team to dive for the next three years—any treasure found will be divided between the Americans and the Austrian state. "Obviously if they recover anything which has a recognizable owner, under Austrian law we have to give it back."

72. Which is the best title of the passage?

  A. Unsolved Mystery     B. Treasure Found

  C. Mysterious Lake      D. New Discovery

73. What can we infer from the passage?

  A. Many books about mysterious deaths have been written so far.

  B. Treasure hunters never risked searching the lake for gold until now.

  C. Many books have been written about mysteries hidden in the Lake.

  D. Norman Scott is sure there is nothing left to find in the lake.

74. Norman Scott will make the underwater expedition mainly to ________.

  A. find evidence proving Nazi Germany's cruelty

  B. help measure the beautiful lake

  C. uncover the mystery in the lake

  D. help people get back their possessions

75. According to Austrian law and the deal reached by the Americans and the Austrian government, ________.

 A. the U. S. team is to solve the mystery in the next three years

 B. both sides will take part in the underwater expedition

 C. any treasure found will go to either the Americans or the Austrian government

 D. people might get their treasure back if there~ re proofs of their ownership

写作题:

Beijing, the capital of China is a both ancient and modern city with a long history about 3 000 years. I am sure Beijing can successfully hold the 2008 Olympic Games.

First, Beijing is a beautiful city with convenient transportation. It has many places of interest. All the foreigners will enjoy themselves here. Second, China is a populous nation with a big sports industry. What’s more, China is one of those countries with the most rapidly growing economy, and the national power is being steadily strengthened. Third, Beijing has successfully held many national and international games, and plenty of money will be spent in bringing air pollution under control and improving the city's environment at large. What's the most important, the Chinese government and the Chinese people all support Beijing in the holding of the 2008 Olympic Games. Hosting the Olympic Games will add more value to world sports. That’s why I was excited at the news that Beijing had won its bid for hosting the 2008 Olympic Games.
