第三部分 阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
One of the largest counties is named for Captain Erastus “Deaf” Smith, a deaf man. Captain Smith was the leader of General Sam Houston’s scouts (侦察兵) during the Texas Revolution, the war in which Texas won its freedom from Mexico. The county named in his honor is called Deaf Smith County.
A scout in the days of the Texas Revolution was much like what a spy is today. Captain “Deaf” Smith would find out where enemy troops were camped and how many men the enemy had; and he would report to Sam Houston. Even when other people could not see or hear any sign of people or animals, Captain Smith would know where they were. Sometimes he would guide Texas troops through enemy territory (领土) without the enemy even knowing they were there.
Erastus Smith was born in New York on April 19, 1787, but went to live in Mississippi when he was 11 years old. He went to Texas for a short time in 1817, and four years later returned to Texas to settle in. He wandered over Texas as a surveyor (测量员) before he volunteered for army service after the start of the Texas Revolution.
Smith married a Mexican woman, and they had four children—three girls and one boy. He spent a lot of time learning the customs, manners, and language of the Mexican settlers. When the Texas Revolution began in 1835, Smith at first refused to take part in it out of respect for his family’s heritage. However, after Mexican troops tried to stop him from going to San Antonio to visit his family, he volunteered for service with the Texans. He was made a captain.
56. At first, Smith refused to take part in the Texas Revolution because .
A. he was a peace-loving person and hated fighting
B. Mexican soldiers stopped him from going to San Antonio
C. the Texans were not very good to him and his family
D. his wife was Mexican and he didn’t want to fight against her people
57. How old was Smith when he settled in Texas?
A. Thirty-four. B. Eleven.
C. Thirty. D. Twenty-seven.
58. Which of the following was a great help in Smith’s work as a scout?
A. His family’s heritage.
B. His experience as a surveyor.
C. His deafness.
D. His good eyesight.
59. Which of the following is the correct order of the events?
a. A county in Texas was named after Smith.
b. Smith got married to a Mexican woman.
c. Smith volunteered for service with the Texans.
d. Mexican troops tried to stop him from seeing his family.
e. Smith went to live in Mississippi.
f. The Texas Revolution started.
A. a-b-c-d-e-f B. e-b-d-c-a-f
C. b-e-f-d-c-a D. e-b-f-d-c-a

Many people think a telephone is essential .But I think it is a pest and a time waster .Very often you find it impossible to escape from some idle or curious chatter—box, or from somebody who wants something for nothing .If you have a telephone in your own house ,you will admit that it tends to ring when you are asleep ,or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out ,or when you are taking your bath. Are you strong –minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself, “Ah ,well ,it will all be the same in a hundred years’ time”？ You are not .You think there may be some important news or messages for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later .Have you ever rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed ,only to be told that you are a wrong number?
But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls .Besides, you will say, isn’t it important to have a telephone in case of emergency—illness, an accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.
I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what I like is good .I admit that in different circumstances—if I were a toon (business VIP) ,for instance ,or bed –ridden I might find a telephone essential . But then if I were a taxi—driver I should find a car essential.
Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent; one is mechanical invention, the other is literature .My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them .For I have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone .I think I had better answer it .After all, one never knows, it may be something important.
60．The passage is mainly discussing __________.
A．that we should be strong enough to ignore a phone call
B．that important message will reach you sooner or later
C．whether it’s necessary to answer all phone calls
D．whether it is necessary to have a telephone
61．Judging from the passage, who is strong –minded enough to ignore a phone call?
A．The author. B．A toon.
C．A taxi—driver. D．Hardly anyone.
62．According to the passage, the author __________ .
A．thinks the telephone should go out of our life
B．likes to be different from other people
C．thinks the telephone is annoying
D．speaks favourably of a telephone
63．In the author’s opinion, which of the following is NOT true ?
A．Nearly everyone has been told a wrong number.
B．It’s necessary for everyone to have a telephone.
C．He himself can not decide whether to answer a call.
D．A telephone directory may bring in unexpected calls.

Pocket Tape-Recorders on the market now
1) Rose S702 $ 64
This simple model at the bottom of the Olympus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording. Back-ground noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible, but it does not turn off automatically （自动地）.
2) Earth M9 $ 49.95
Small and very good looking, the latest offering scored most for appearance. Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise. The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated (复杂的) little controls on other tape-recorders.
Doesn’t switch off automatically but a red light shows if the machine is still running.
Tape length: 60 minutes per side. Weight: 230g
3) Earth M400 $ 115
Lots of little control buttons that make a noise and are difficult to use. Recording was good but machine noise lost points. Tape counter and automatic (自动的) switch-off when the tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful.
Tape length: 60 minutes per side. Weight: 198g
4) Rocket M5 $ 29.95
Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording was good as long as there was no background noise. Use only its own make of cassette (盒式录音带). No light to show it is on; no fast forward button and the record button makes a loud noise.
Tape length: 30 minutes per side. Weight: 285g
5) Land 585 $ 80
Handsome and simple to use, but recording is very poor at more than the recommended distance of 5 cm-designed for dictation. No recording light.
Tape length: 15 minutes per side. Weight: 220g
64. Which machine produces the best recording with the least unwanted noise?
A. Rose S702. B. Earth M9.
C. Earth M400. D. Rocket M5.
65. If you want a machine which turns off automatically and weighs very little you should choose the _______.
A. Rose S702. B. Earth M9.
C. EarthM400. D. Land585.
66. Which machine is unsuitable for general use?
A. Rose S702. B. Rocket M5.
C. Earth M400. D. Earth M9.
67. Which two machines have the same tape length?
A. Land 585; Rocket M5.
B. Earth M400; Earth M9.
C. Rocket M5; Rose S702.
D. Rocket M5; Land585.

If you don’t want people to know too much about you, then you had better keep your fridge contents secret according to a British market research document released (公布) last week.
Researchers peered into the fridges of 400 people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners’ life styles. They claim to be able to sort the nation’s people by fridge contents.
They say those people can be separated into five groups: “nutrition nerds (no social sense)”, “food faddies (whatever’s in style)”, “martyr mums”, “fast food fantadics” and “restaurant regulars”.
“Nutrition nerds” care much about what they put into their bodies. Their fridges are stocked with fruit, vegetables and healthy meat. People in this group tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy. The vast majority are single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar.
A fridge full of vitamin-enriched juices shows its owners work in media or fashion. They tend not to eat the foods they buy. Known as “food faddies”, they just want to be seen as buying the latest important thing.
A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the “martyr mum”. Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want.
“Fast food fantadics” have their fridges filled with take-away foods from stores or restaurants and mineral water or soda-pop (果味汽水); the nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce. Their fridge hints at someone who works hard and plays hard. Also, someone who is not into long-term planning.
Finally, a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling (苏打) mineral water implies an owner who is single, lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life. The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurants.
68. Which group of people seems to live the healthiest lifestyle?
A. Food faddies. B. Nutrition nerds.
C. Martyr mums. D. Fast food fantadics.
69. A “martyr mum” gets all kinds of food in her fridge because .
A. she enjoys eating them
B. she is too busy to go shopping every day
C. her family enjoy eating them
D. she enjoys cooking meals
70. The writer suggests that ______ are fashionable.
A. mineral water and soda-pop
B. steak and frozen fish
C. take-away foods
D. vitamin-enriched juices
71. The best title for this passage is .
A. A healthy diet
B. You are what’s in the fridge
C. A healthy lifestyle
D. Five types of fridge

People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive recklessly up and down America’s main streets; they carry chips on their shoulders as big as the Sears Tower. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn’t forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.
I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral(葬礼). I didn’t expect the event to affect me. Through much of the ceremony, in fact, I remained unmoved.
Then her teenage grandson stepped forward. With his very first deep breath, every heart in that church was achingly reminded of something we had all forgotten. Softly he began: “I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would literally attack her, what would Nana say? ‘Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has.’ That was Nana.
“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for Grandpa’s career,” he said, with a voice now trembling. “That was Nana’s way.”
Through a muffled sob, he continued. “Whenever she did anything worth recognition, you’d have to hear about it from a different source, because she was never the one to brag.”
Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up an incredible fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana’s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.”
There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled.
When that boy rose to speak about the woman who surely had been his truest ally and dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide in the calm ritual. He exposed us to the truth about this very real woman who believed in a boy who probably tried the patience of many adults. He reminded us that his grandmother was more than another dot on the chart of life and death.
All over again we felt those powerful losses crisscrossing our own hearts, and we knew that when you say good-bye to a beloved grandparent, you say good-bye to something happy, something young in yourself. And that something never really returns, and the pain never really goes away.
72．According to the first paragraph, _____________.
A．young people should keep quiet before the public
B．people don’t think highly of the teenagers
C．people shouldn’t forget the young people
D．young people are living a hard life
73．From the boy’s speech, we know his grandmother ____________.
A．was a weak woman living in the shadow of his grandpa
B．liked dogs very much even if they often attacked her
C．could see everything around her though she was old
D．had great influence over the boy when she was alive
74．We can infer from the passage that the boy ___________.
A．was filled with sadness and gave up finishing his talk
B．was always very good at expressing himself
C．practiced a lot in order to give a moving speech
D．had great difficulty in accepting the loss of Nana
75．The writer wanted to tell the readers ____________.
A．the young people were too weak to face the fact
B．the young people had to learn to control themselves
C．the adults could learn something valuable from the young
D．the adults should teach the young how to deal with the death

4．王英按时作息
二、Possible Version:
Li Ming and Wang Ying are two students of Senior Three. They both work hard but they have different learning methods.
Li Ming often sleeps in class instead of listening to the teacher. As a result, he misses lots of points that the teacher makes and it usually takes him more time to finish his homework. So he has to stay up late and doesn’t get enough sleep.
However, Wang Ying has quite a different way of learning. She listens attentively and tries to catch everything that the teacher says in class. Because of this, she spends less time doing her homework, which makes it possible for her to go to bed early.
In my opinion, Wang Ying learns more effectively in class and has more free time to enjoy herself, so I prefer her learning method. （116）

One possible version:
Dear grandpa, I think you’d better take part in some outdoor activities, such as going mountain climbing, playing Taiji．You can also take up some hobbies like gardening or playing chess．Perhaps you can keep a pet like a dog or a cat．And I think the most important for you is to make some friends with the people of your age, so that you can do things together．Having friends means that you can have someone to talk to so that you won’t feel lonely and depressed．

Man：This basket is new，isn’t it，Alice?

Man：Oh，I’ve never seen one as big as this．I must get one．

Woman：Are you sure Sam won’t mind your borrowing his bicycle?

Woman：Do you like this coat，or shall I take the blue one?
Man：I like both of them，but I think the blue one fits you better．
Woman：OK．I’ll get the blue one．It’s less expensive anyway．

Man：The film museum is one of the most modern buildings in that city，isn’t it?
Woman：Yes，it was designed by a very famous architect and there’s a lot of it still to be done．

Woman：Good afternoon，Sir．Can I help you?
Man：Good afternoon．My wife is still on the way．She is late．
Woman：What time did you arrange to meet her，Mr．Jones?
Man：Twenty minutes ago．Has our table been taken?
Woman：No，no．Your table has been reserved．Even if people are late，I always reserve the table．
Man：Oh，good．Thanks．
Woman：Would you start your meal without her?
Man：No，I think I’ll wait a little longer．She’ll be here very soon．

Woman：Excuse me．
Man：Oh，hi．Can I help you?
Woman：Can you tell me how much farther it is to Emberton?
Man：Emberton? Yes，that’s six miles away from here．
Woman：Six miles! Oh dear，I wish I’d known that．I’d never have tried to walk．Maybe I could have taken a bus．Anyhow，thank you．
Man：Oh，just a minute．I’m going to Emberton in my car．I’ll give you a lift，if you
like．
Woman：Oh，think you．That’s very kind of you．

Woman：We’re nearly there．Will we be allowed to visit all the ships，Peter? The space-station and aircraft equipment，as well as the others?
Man：Yes，I expect so．We shall see most of them．

M：Well，perhaps not everyone can understand what I’m doing．I go high up in the air in a basket to reach the windows on tall office buildings，so I can wash them．I really like my job because I enjoy being outdoors．I like to breathe the fresh air and look at the beautiful views of the city．It’s really relaxing．And I earn a high salary．But …. My job is dangerous．I have to be very careful not to fall out of the basket，and I have to be careful not to drop things on people below．Window washing is a great job for me because I’m good with my hands，and I don’t mind doing dangerous work．Even so，it was difficult for me to get started as a window washer．But now，I have my own business．It’s great!

Woman：What are you doing here?
Man：I’m buying a new camera．
Woman：On the computer?
Man：Yeah，I like to shop on the Internet．
Woman：Oh，yeah?
Man：Sure，Internet shopping is great because it’s easy to compare prices，so you can save money．The camera I want costs $ 800 in the stores，but I found it on the Internet for only $ 600．
Woman：That’s a good deal — you save $ 200．
Man：Yeah，and it’s a lot easier than shopping in the stores．You don’t have to leave your house．You just send in your credit card information and they send it to your home．
Woman：That’s true — but I’d rather pay cash than use my credit card．And I don’t like sending my credit card information over the Internet．

Woman：Hi，I’m Laura Lee from News Radio here in New York City．I’m standing in front of a community garden．Community gardens are gardens that many people make together．Each person uses a small area to plant flowers or vegetables．Together，they make a community garden．It’s a nice way to have a little piece of the country in the city or the suburbs．
This garden started a few years ago．But now the city wants to remove the garden．Let’s go talk to someone and see what he thinks about it．Hello …. How are you doing?
Man：Oh，hi．
Woman：I’m from News Radio．I understand the city wants to remove this garden．Is that correct?
Man：Yes，that’s right．Can you believe it? After all this work we’ve done．
Woman：You don’t sound happy．
Man：I’m not．You see，ten years ago before we planted the garden，this was just an empty lot．The city gave us this empty lot to make a community garden．All the people in the neighborhood worked really hard．We planted everything you see … flowers，vegetables，trees，and made this beautiful garden．
Woman：It does make the neighborhood look nice．
Man：You bet it does．You should have seen this place before we planted the garden．It had rubbish on it and people just hung around．We made it beautiful．Now，the city wants to remove all of this to build apartment buildings．I can’t believe it．
Woman：Well，we all know there are not enough apartments in New York… right?
Man：Yeah，I know it，too．But there are other empty lots in the city．They can build apartments there．
Woman：Are there other reasons this garden is important?
