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, D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The plastic identification cards
carried by all Chinese citizens over 16 are to be replaced with electronic
cards from next year.
The new cards, which
most people will have by 2005, contain a microchip (微芯片) on which personal information is stored.
This can be checked against databases (资料库)
kept by the government.
"The information
will be locked into the card so that people won't be able to use false
identities," said Ren Tianbu, a security official in Shenyang.
China's present
plastic identity cards were introduced 17 years ago, and a similar system is
used by many other countries. However, the information shown on a card differs
from nation to nation. Most ID cards show the holder's name, sex, date of birth
and photograph, as well as the card's expiry (失效) date and number.
Germany, France and
Spain all use ID cards, but there are some developed nations who dislike the
idea. The US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Sweden and Britain are among
those with no national ID card. However, some of the countries have ID cards
for particular uses. For example, Australia and the United States use a driving
license to identify people.
Identity cards are
introduced for a variety of reasons. Race, politics and religion were often at
the heart of older ID systems. In recent years, though, ID cards have been
linked to national information databases, which form the basis of how a
government manages a country.
The US, Britain and
some other countries are considering a national ID system as a way of
preventing possible terrorist attacks.
However, such plans
have been met with fierce resistance by those who believe identity cards work
against human rights and individual privacy.
"ID cards make us
suspects (可疑人员), not citizens," said UK
human rights group Liberty.
56. What is one of the differences between China's new and current ID
cards?
A. The new ones contain different
personal information.
B. The current ID cards are easier
to fake.
C. Even little kids can have the
new ID cards.
D. The information on current ID
cards isn't in the databases kept by the government.
57. Which of the following countries does not have an ID card system?
A. France. B. Spain. C.
Sweden. D. Germany.
58. What is the main reason governments use ID card systems nowadays?
A. To prevent terrorist attacks. B.
To fight against crimes.
C. To support government services. D.
To have more control on its citizens.
59. The purpose of this story is to ____.
A. inform B. entertain C.
clear up some mysteries D.
remove any misunderstanding
B
Imagine a classroom missing the one thing
that's long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing? Paper. No
notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper. Nor are there any pencils or pens,
which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.
A
"paperless classroom" is what more and more schools are trying to
achieve.Students don't do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm
size, or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from
Internet libraries and sends them to every student's personal computer.
Having computers
also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any
subject they're studying from maths to social science.
High school
teacher Judy Herrell in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to
learn about the war in Afganistan over one year ago.
"We could
touch every side of the country through different sites? From the forest to
refugee camps (难民营),"
she said. "Using a book that's three or four years old is
impossible."
And exams can go
online too. At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own
computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see
and then copies them to his own electronic grade book.
A paperless
classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school
teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, US, said she used to give about 900 pieces
of paper each week to each student.
"Think about the
money and trees we could save with the computers," she said. But, with all
this technology, there's always the risk that the machines will break down.
So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still
widely available for these hi-tech students.
60. What does the part of the last sentence in
the first paragraph, “run out of ink at the critical moment”, mean?
A. Pens may not write well at the
critical moment.
B. Pens get lost easily, so you may not
find them at the critical moment.
C. Pens may have little or no ink at the
critical moment.
D. Pens use ink, while pencils don't.
61. In a paperless classroom, what is a must?
A. Pens. B. Computers. C. Information. D. Texts.
62. The high school teacher, Judy Herrell, used the example of her class to
show that _______.
A. the Web could take them everywhere
B. the Web taught them a lot
C. the Web is a good tool for
information
D. the Web, better than the textbooks,
can give the latest and comprehensive information
63. The paperless classrooms will benefit _____ the most.
A. students B.
teachers C.
trees D.
computers
64. What does the phrase in the last paragraph, “break down”, mean?
A. Break into pieces. B. Stop working. C. Fall down. D. Lose control.
C
Have you ever wondered what kind of music
kids across the Pacific Ocean are listening to? Are they crazy about Britney
Spears? Do they love the Backstreet Boys? Or do they dance to Eminem?
Well, nearly
6,000 teens have taken part in a Teens & Music study, conducted by USA
Weekend Magazine last autumn. And the results show what type of music is hot
and what is not.
It comes as no
surprise that hip-hop and rap are the most popular types of music
among American teenagers. They began in the mid-1970s, with young black kids in
New York, taking music onto the streets. Hip-hop and rap are well-known for the
breakdancing (霹雳舞) that goes with them.
The word
"rap" comes from a 1960s slang word for conversation. It is a
rapid, slangy rhyme that is spoken rather than sung.
Eminem is among
the most popular rappers ever to hit the US. His first album "The Marshall
Mathers LP" topped the American music chart (排行榜) in May 2000. Although about a third of
teens in the US showed their support for him, almost as many said that his
music was so offensive that they couldn't listen to it.
Compared with
Eminem, actor-rapper Will Smith is more of a star for the kids. He was awarded
the Wannabe Award, on April 12 at Nickelodeon's 16th Annual Kids' Choice
Awards. It is an award given to a celebrity whom kids most want to be.
Pop music, such
as Brittney Spears and the Backstreet Boys has always suited the tastes of the
general public. It continues to enjoy support among teens and is second most
popular after rap.
Third is rock —
music with exciting dance beats and simple lyrics that speak loudly of
social problems. The melodies (旋律)
are led by electric guitars. Rock became popular in the US in the early 1950s.
American singer Elvis Presley and British group the Beatles became world-famous
rock artists.
The study also
showed that jazz is least loved by American teens. It developed in the latter
part of the 19th century from a mixture of African work songs and hymns
(赞美诗). Jazz tends to be the type of
music that people enjoy more as they get older.
65. Which of the following developed the
earliest, according to the text?
A. Hip-hop and rap. B. Breakingdance. C.
Rock. D.
Jazz.
66.What does the word “offensive” in
Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Loud. B.
Quick. C.
Unpleasant. D. Slangy.
67.The
main purpose of this story is to tell the readers _____.
A. about a
study conducted among US teens
B. what
types of music are popular among US teens
C. that both
American and Chinese teens love music
D. that kids
love different types of music because of the stars

Pocket Tape-Recorders “Family and Home Magazine” test what’s on the market now.

Special trees that grow faster, fight
pollution, produce better wood, and even sense chemical attacks are being
planted by scientists in the US.
When 40 per cent of
Hawaii's US$14 million-a-year papaya (木瓜)industry
was destroyed by a virus five years ago, work began on creating genetically
engineered trees.
Researchers successfully introduced seeds
that were designed to resist the virus. Since then, more and more people have
been testing genetically engineered trees.
Some researchers put
special bacteria into trees to help them grow faster and produce better wood.
Others are trying to create trees that can clean polluted soil.
Meanwhile fruit
farmers are looking for trees that are strong enough to resist worms, and paper
companies want trees that produce more wood and therefore more paper.
The Pentagon (五角大楼) even gave the researchers US$500,000 this
year after they developed a pine tree that changes its colours if it senses a
chemical attack.
So far, the poplar,
eucalyptus (杨树与桉树), apple and coffee trees are
among those being engineered. All this can be done today because we have a
better understanding of tree genomes.
However, some people
fear that the genetically engineered trees will cause dangerous results. They
are worried that the new trees will breed with natural species and change the
balance of the forest environment.
"It could be destructive," said Jim
Diamond, an environmentalist. "Trees are what is left of our natural
environment and home to many endangered species."
But researchers insist
that science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and
man-made dangers.
They hope to answer
the critics by stopping the new trees from breeding, so their effect on the
environment can be controlled.
72. Which kind of tree is not the ones that scientists are planting in the US?
A. Trees that worms can't hurt. B. Trees that can protect themselves at a chemical attack.
C. Trees that can resist wind better. D. Genetically engineered trees.
73. What caused the American scientists to work on special trees?
A. They think science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers.
B. Great numbers of trees have been lost due to attacks by viruses.
C. Researchers successfully introduced seeds designed to resist the virus.
D. Tree genomes are mapped out so scientists know how to improve trees.
74. Which of the following was probably the first kind of trees being engineered?
A. Papaya. B. Pine. C. Apple. D. Poplar.
75. Why did critics think engineered trees dangerous? Because _______.
A. these trees can destroy the balance of nature
B. everything except trees has been genetically engineered
C. trees are home to many endangered species
D. these trees may affect normal trees
