第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项;并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
“Don’t put all your eggs into one basket”is a classic investment concept. For China, the euro will become another “basket” for storing “eggs”.
Mr. Yang, a famous scholar, said that China should increase the proportion of the euro in its national foreign exchange reserve(储备)to reduce risks and preserve value.
By the end of November 2001, China’s foreign exchange reserve amount was up to US $ 208.31 billion, ranking second in the world. The US dollar took an absolutely high proportion of it, adding up to 60 percent, while the Japanese yen and Deutsche(German) Mark only made up 15 percent.
Mr. Yang said that like businesses and individuals, a country should preserve property value. Since the currencies(money) of different countries always have ups and downs, there should be a rational (合理的)distribution of different currencies in the foreign exchange reserve to reduce exchange rate risks and thus preserve value. In view of the trade proportions between China and its five major trading partners—the United States, Japan, Britain, Germany and France, the proportion of the US dollar in the foreign exchange reserve should be kept at around 45 percent in future, while the proportion of the euro should increase to 20~30 percent.
It is believed that the euro will become a world currency like US dollar. China has not only paid close attention to the euro, but also started to increase euro reserve. Finance Minister Xiang Huaicheng said, “I have noticed that the euro is becoming stronger recently. So I propose that leaders of the related department consider buying euros quicker and sooner, YC based on the principle of not putting all our eggs into one basket.”
56．According to the passage, you should _______ in order to avoid the finance risk.
A．buy euro as much as possible
B．decentralize(move from one big place to several smaller places) your investment properly
C．put your eggs which you’ve bought into several baskets
D．buy US dollars as many as you can
57．Which of the following statements is not true?
A．The amount of China’s foreign exchange reserve has greatly increased.
B．China has ranked second in the foreign exchange reserve amount in the world.
C．China has already begun to buy the new currency euro.
D．It is unnecessary to adjust the proportion of buying different foreign exchange.
58．From the passage we can know that at present _______ has taken up the largest proportion of
the foreign exchange reserve of China.
A．Japanese yen B．Deutsche Mark C．US dollar D．The euro
59．The best title of the passage is _______.
A．How to Place Eggs B．The importance of the Money
C．One Investment Concept D．Foreign Exchange Reserve
B
There is a very simple way of measuring the height of a water-tower, which we cannot measure by climbing.
We wish to find out the height of the water-tower, AB, in a factory, we first of all go to the place, B, where the water-tower is standing and measure a distance of 90 feet from it, in a straight line, marking the spot(C) that is 90 feet from the water-tower, Then we take a stick, DC, and stand it in the ground at the spot we have just marked.
The stick we are using is 4 feet in height. We now walk farther away from the water-tower in the same straight line as when we measured off the distance of 90 feet. We go from the water-tower until we come to a point E, where with our head on the ground, we see the top of the stick and the top of the water-tower in the same straight line-that is, the top of the stick just over the highest part of the water-tower.
We now have two triangles and the proportion of the side CD to the side CE, in the smaller triangle CDE, is exactly the same as the proportion of the side BA to the side BE, in the large triangle BAE. It is clear from this that every schoolboy or schoolgirl can work out the height of the water-tower.
The line CE is 5 feet. We know that the stick is 4 feet high and the length BE is 95 feet. From these measurements we have the simple proportion sum. Then we can get the height of the water-tower. The height of any other building can, of course, be easily measured by using the same way.
60．The height of the water-tower is _______.
A．76 feet B．72 feet C．90 feet D．180 feet
61．The triangle CDE must be _______.
A．below the triangle BAE B．in the triangle BAE
C．out of the triangle BAE D．over the triangle BAE
62．The proportion of the side CD to the side CE is _______.
A．bigger than the proportion of the side BA to the side BE
B．equal to the proportion of the side BA to the side BE
C．not as big as the proportion of the side BA to the side BE
D．smaller than the proportion of the side BA to the side BE
63．According to the measurements, which of the following proportion sums is correct?
A．BA is to four as five is to ninety-five. B．BA is to ninety-five as four is to five.
C．Five is to ninety-five as BA is to four. D．Four is to five as BA is to ninety.
C
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov.10-A 14-year-old boy was arrested today after the rotten body of an 8-year-old girl who was his neighbor was found hidden in his bedroom. She had been stabbed and beaten.
The boy, Joshua Earl Patrick Phillips, admitted and was charged with murder in the death of the girl, Maddie Clifton, who disappeared on Nov.3, Sheriff Nat Glover said.
Joshua, who has no criminal record, would not be eligible (合格的) for the death punishment because of his age. Detectives recovered a knife and a baseball bat believed to be the weapons used to kill the girl, the Sheriff said.
The girl had been stabbed at least nine times and was struck in the head, Sheriff Glover said at a news conference. The authorities did not say whether she has been attacked sexually, nor did they give motive for the attack.
The boy’s mother, Melissa Philips, grew suspicious after the police searched her home on Monday and detected an odor, the Sheriff said. This morning she pulled aside the frame of the bed, saw a child’s feet and called an officer, he said.
Maddie’s body was found under a sheet of wood supporting the frame of the water bed, which was filled, Sheriff Glover said, adding, “He put her under the bed and taped her up in it.”
Investigators believe the third-grader was killed in the boy’s house shortly after she disappeared last Tuesday, touching off a widespread search.
On Friday, Maddie’s parents, Steve and Sheila Clifton, made an earnest request for her return.
The boy’s house, like others in the neighborhood, had been searched three times. During the third search on Monday, the mother had at first said she thought the odor came from family pets.
Hundreds of volunteers had distributed thousands of leaflets with Maddie’s picture since she disappeared that evening, about 30 minutes after she went out to play with friends.
The girl’s house is one of the well-kept, single-family homes in the older working-class of Jacksonville. Yellow ribbons still hung from the trees this morning.
64．Which of the following statement is not fit for the report?
A．After the girl disappeared, the police searched on a large scale.
B．Quite a lot of people handed out lots of papers to look for the girl.
C．The girl’s parents are still waiting for their girl to come home safely on Friday morning.
D．The police searched the boy’s house and found the girl’s body by a strange smell.
65．It can be inferred from the report that _______.
A．the girl was killed in the boy’s home
B．the girl was stabbed many times and struck by a baseball bat
C．it is the first time that the boy has been charged
D．the boy won’t be put into prison
66．The words “motive” probably means _______.
A．reason B．action C．motion D．information
67．The man, Sheriff Glover, may be _______.
A．a reporter B．a government official
C．the girl’s father D．a person in charge of the case
D
For some time past, it has been widely accepted that babies－and other creatures－learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards”, and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early time, had to be directly connected to such basic physiological (生理的) “drives” as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.
It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except success in sight.
Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward” the babies and to teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the children’s responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “turned on ” some lights－and indeed that they were able to learn some more turns to bring about this result, for example, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.
Papousek’s light experiment was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the light closely although they would “smile and speak” when the light was on. Papousek concluded that it was not the sight of the lights which pleased them. It was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and then there is a basic human nature to make sense of the world and bring it under control.
68．According to the writer, babies learn to do things which _______.
A．will satisfy their surprise B．will meet their physical needs
C．are directly connected to pleasure D．will bring them a feeling of success
69．Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby _______.
A．would make learned responses when it saw the milk
B．would continue the simple movements without being given milk
C．would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink
D．would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drink
70．In Papousek’s experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to _______.
A．be praised B．please their parents
C．be rewarded with milk D．have the lights turned on
71．The babies would “smile and speak” at the lights because _______.
A．they succeeded in “turning on” the lights
B．the sight of lights was interesting
C．they need not turn back to watch the lights
D．the lights were directly connected to some basic “drives”

Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge (大杂烩) of environmental claims made by household products, according to a “green labeling” study published by Consumers International Friday.
Among the report’s more outrageous (令人无法容忍的) findings------a German fertilizer described itself as “earthworm friendly” a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting” and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally friendlier”.
The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International. It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.
“While many good and useful claims are being made, it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,” said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.
The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain, Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.
The report focused on claims made by specific products, such as detergent (洗涤剂) insect sprays and by some garden products. It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September 1999.
Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague (not clear) or too misleading to meet ISO standards.
“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing,” said report researcher Philip Page.
“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading.” he said.
The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as “environmentally friendly” and “non-polluting” cannot be verified (check). “What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO.” said Page
72．According to the passage, the NCC found it outrageous that _______.
A．all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standards
B．the claims made by products are often unclear or deceiving
C．consumers would believe many of the manufactures’ claim
D．few products actually prove to be environment friendly
73．As indicated in this passage, with so many good claims, the consumers_______.
A．are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buy
B．are still not willing to pay more for products whit green labeling
C．are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on the environment
D．still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment
74．A study was carried out by Britain’s NCC to _______.
A．find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmental standards
B．inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they buy
C．examine claims made by products against ISO standards
D．revise the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization
75．What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of household products?
A．They are likely to lead to serious environmental problems.
B．Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the false.
C．They could arouse widespread anger among consumer.
D．Consumers will be tempted to buy products they don’t need.

Possible version:
Dear Tom,
It’s great to receive your e-mail. Now I’d like to tell you something that took place in my school yesterday.
In the afternoon we held a grown—up ceremony for our coming 18-year-old birthday. At first we made an oath that as grown-ups we should have a sense of duty/responsibility for our society from now on. Then we showed our thanks to our parents who had gone through hardships to bring us up and teachers who have been educating us patiently. And for teachers also gave us cards expressing their good wishes to us. Finally we put on wonderful performances, singing and dancing. We learned a lot from the activity. I think it’s very important for us. I will never forget the day in my life.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
