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中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.
However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”
A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green”, that is, friendly to the environment.
Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels（标签）to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufacturing（生产）of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.
The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it, and forget it.” The public pressures is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its cat.
56.It becomes clear from the text that the driving force（动力）behind green products is _______.
A.public caring for environment B.companies’ desire for bigger sales
C.new ways of doing business D.rapid growth of supermarkets
57.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Business and People B.Business Goes Green
C.Shopping Habits Are Changing D.Supermarkets and Green Products
58.The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph refers to ________.
A.a selling point B.the company name
C.a great demand for health D.the manufacturing of green products.
B
Two American scientists told the people in industrial nations that they would be much healthier if they ate more of the same kind of foods eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.
The scientists say that the human body has changed very little since human first appeared on earth, but the way we live has changed greatly. Our body has not been able to deal with these changes in life style and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times. So they are called “diseases of civilization（文明）”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system, including heart attacks and strokes（中风）are examples of such diseases.
Scientists noted that early stone-age people used very little alcohol (酒精) or tabacco, probably none. Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and life today.
Stone-age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than farm animals. They also ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables, and fruits. They did not use milk and other dairy products（乳制品）, and they made very little use of grains. But today, we eat a large amount of dairy products and grain foods. We eat six times more salt than stone-age people. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.
People today probably do not want to live as people thousands of years ago did, but scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate as those ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet foods.
59.New kinds of sicknesses have been found because ________.
A. the human body has changed compared with human first appeared on earth.
B. the way we live has changed a little.
C. our body can’t deal with the changes in life style.
D. the way we live today are proper for the human body.
60.What is the main cause mentioned in the article why people suffer from a lot of new sicknesses?
A. Ancient people did a great deal of physical exercise.
B. People today have a lot of alcohol.
C. People today have more tobacco.
D. Food is quite different between life today and life in ancient times.
61.Stone-age people were much healthier than people today because they ate a lot of _____.
A. milk and other dairy products
B. grain foods and farm animals
C. salt and sugar
D. wild animals, fresh wild vegetables and fruits
62.From this article, we know that _______ are not good to our health.
A. protein and vitamin C
B. milk and grain foods
C. wild animals,vegetables and fruits
D. a huge amount of fatty, salty and sweet food
C
Animals are natural resources（资源）that people have wasted all through our history.
Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers（羽毛）, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.
Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.
For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks（鹰）, the farmers’ stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied（繁殖）quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid（禁止）the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.
63.Animals are important to us mainly because________.
A. they give us a source of food
B. they are beautiful and lovely
C. they keep the balance of nature
D. they give us a lot of pleasure
64.What has happened to the animals on the earth?
A. Thousands of kinds of animals are gone forever.
B. A few kinds of animals have died out.
C. About 170 kinds of animals have disappeared forever.
D. All kinds of animals are in danger.
65.Why do people kill animals?
A. They kill animals for something they need.
B. They kill animals to raise some money.
C. Animals destroy their natural resources.
D. Animals create many problems.
66.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. People care much about animals because they need them.
B. Once a certain kink of animal is gone forever, there will never be any more.
C. Killing all rats and mice may cause some new problems.
D. People must not kill any animal or plant.
67.What can we conclude from the fact that quite a few countries have passed laws protecting animals in danger?
A. Every person will know the importance of protecting wild animals.
B. Animals in danger will not be killed any more.
C. The number of some animals in danger will increase.
D. Animals in danger will be kept away from people.
D
The weather is not beautiful all of the time. Perhaps you can remember a day when bad weather made you afraid. One kind of bad weather that frightens many people is called a thunderstorm（雷暴雨）.
This is what happens when there is a thunderstorm. First you see a sudden flash（闪亮）of bright light. A few seconds later you hear a loud rumbling sound. This quick flash is called lighting, and the loud sound is called thunder. Lighting is colourful, but it can cause serious problems.
Lighting is electricity that is moving very rapidly. It may be moving between a cloud and the ground, between two clouds, or between two parts of the same cloud. The lighting heats the air around it. This hot air expands（扩大）, or gets bigger, and it causes the air to move in waves which pass you in a series（系列）, one after another. For this reason, you may hear many rumbles and not just one sound.
68.A good title for this passage is _______.
A.Air waves B.Lighting and People
C.The Weather is Nor Beautiful All of the Time. D.Thunderstorms
69.The word “rumble” in the passage means________.
A.a sharp voice B.a loud and joyful sound
C.a sudden flash D.a deep, heavy continuous sound.
70.When you hear thunder, you may hear a series of loud sounds and not one big sound. This is because ________.
A.the hot air moves between two clouds B.the air waves pass one after another
C.the thunder comes after the lighting D.the lighting comes after the thunder
71.Which of these is NOT TRUE about thunder and lighting?
A. Lightning may move between a cloud and the ground
B. Thunder is a very bright light in a thunderstorm.
C. Lightning is electricity.
D. Lightning heats the air around it and causes the air to move in waves.
72.Lightning always moves________.
A.between two clouds B.in waves
C.in a series D.rapidly
E
Life is difficult.
This is a great truth. It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.
Most people do not fully see this truth; instead they complain about enormity（巨大）of their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties represent a unique（独特的）kind of suffering forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.
Life is a series of problems. Do you want to complain about them or solve them?
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. Indeed, it is because of the pain the events or conflicts cause us that we call them problems. And since life poses（提出）an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the severe test that distinguishes between success and failure. It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we challenge and encourage the human capacity to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of facing and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “ Those things that hurt, instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to dread (be afraid) but actually to welcome the pain of problems.
73.Which sentence best expresses the main point of the passage?
A. Everybody has problems.
B. We become stronger by facing and solving the problems of life .
C. Life is difficult because our problems are causing us pain.
D. People like to complain about their problems
74.According to the article, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to _____.
A. challenge them to learn
B. teach them to fear the pain of solving problems
C. make them clever.
D. Teach them to have respected authority.
75.The best title for the passage is ______.
A.Life is Difficult B.Life is Easy
C.Life D.Life is beautiful

书面表达：
In order to support Beijing to hold Olympic Games in 2008 and protect our environment, an activity was organized by the Youth League and Students’ Union of our school during the week from June 1st to June 8th.
All the students in the senior grades took active part in it. The students in Senior One cleaned the playground, watered the young trees and flowers, and removed weeds. The students in Senior Two collected lots of waste paper, old books, empty cans and old toys. They had them sorted and sent to the recycling center. Though the students in Senior Three were very busy preparing for the exams, they didn’t miss the chance. In the garden near our school, they cleared up the plastic bags—the white pollution, and helped the dustmen fix the rubbish bins. They kept telling people not to destroy the beauty of the nature.
The activity is really instructive, in which we have realized the importance of protecting the environment, as well as developed our ability in practice.

Would you like to spend your holidays traveling by balloon? The first balloon trip took place in France in 1783. It lasted only 8 minutes. About a year later, an American and A Frenchman decided to cross the Channel between France and England in a balloon. High over the Channel, they discovered a hole in the balloon. The hole became bigger and bigger. The gas keeping the balloon up was escaping . The men threw all their belongings into the water to make the balloon lighter. It started to rise higher again, but it was still too close to the water. Finally, the two men threw away most of their clothes to save themselves.The people waiting for them in England were very surprised to see this when the balloon landed.
