第三部分： 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40 分）
阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D） 中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Technology is the application (应用)of knowledge to production. Thanks to modern technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall output. This has meant more production and a higher standard of living. For most of us in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food available (有用的)to us, by means of modern farming machinery and animalbreeding techniques, and has extended our life span via medical technology.
Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics (统计) show that the United States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually(每年) into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce resources (少的资源) we may well find technological substitutes (代用品) for many of them through our research programs.
Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production (land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills on techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. As equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living.
56. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The definition of technology
B. Modern technology
C. The application of technology
D. The development of technology
57. From the passage, we can infer that this article is probably________.
A. a part of the introduction to American business
B. followed by the passage talking about factors of production
C. taken from a learned journal
D. Both A and B
58. Which is the main idea of the passage?
A. Modern technology is the key to the improvement of standard of living.
B. The three major factors of production-land, labor and capital are all influenced by technology.
C. Technology is the response to our needs.
D. The United States is making great efforts to advance its technology.
59. According to the passage, people can live a long life with the help of ________.
A. higher quality of life
B. medical technology
C. modern farming machinery
D. technological substitute
B
In some ways, the United States has made some progress. Fires no longer destroy 18 000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, or kill half a town of 2 400 people, as they did the same night in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky in 1977, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire.
But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference(无所谓) of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough.
American fire departments are some of the world’s fastest and best-equipped. They have to be. The United States has twice Japan’s population, and 40 times as many fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire-safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children, who die in large numbers in fires but who, against popular beliefs, start very few of them.
Experts say the error is an opinion that fires are not really anyone’s fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime(罪行). Japan has many wood houses; of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10 000 buildings, Japan has had 27. Punishment for causing a big fire can be as severe as life imprisonment.
In the United States, most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But, the lessons are aimed at too limited a number of people; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches.
The United States continues to depend more on technology than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building laws now require home sprinklers (喷水装置). New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped.
60.The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that________.
A. they took no interest in new technology
B. they did not pay great attention to preventing fires
C. they showed indifference to fighting fires
D. they did not spend enough money on fire equipment
61. It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A. fire safety lessons should not be aimed only at American children
B. American children have not received enough education of fire safety lessons
C. Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United States
D. America’s large population leads to more fires
62. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. There has been no great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that leads to high death rate.
B. There have been several great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high death rate.
C. There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate.
D. The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed.
C
One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?”. Usually the question is asked of a man in action-a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but you have put a bug (小虫子) in his ear-maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he overlooked (忽略) that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else “How do you feel?”. Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?”.if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no asking him that silly question.
When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feel?”. Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age”, he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”
63. According to the writer, greetings such as “How do you feel?”________.
A. show one’s consideration for others
B. are a good way to make friends
C. are proper to ask a man in action
D. generally make one feel uneasy
64．The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of________.
A. a man working at his desk
B. a person having lost a close friend
C. a stranger who looks somewhat worried
D. a friend who is ill
65. George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his________.
A. cheerfulness B. cleverness
C. ability D. politeness
66. “You’ve put a bug in his ear” means that you’ve________.
A. made him laugh B. shown concern for him
C. made fun of him D. given him some kind of warning
D
Every thing living on earth —each plant and animal —needs other living things. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a tree or a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing hunts another, one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain. Some food chains are simple, others are complicated. But all have two things in common —all food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears.
All life depends on energy from sunlight. Only plants can use this energy directly. Their leaves are little factories that use sunlight to make food from water and things in the soil and air.
Plants in turn feed all other living things. Animals can only use the sun’s energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.
What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat, rice, vegetables, fruit and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. This means the sun’s energy passes through plant to animal before it reaches us.
Nature is a greater thing. Any food chain always produces enough for each of its members if it is left alone. When there isn’t enough food for any link in the chain, some of its members die off. So the balance is always kept.
But men in their greed(贪婪) and ignorance(无知) often break up the food chain and do great harm not only to one plant or animal, but to all the links in the chain. People make seas and rivers dirty. They destroy whole forests and kill many kinds of wild animals and birds. When a river becomes dirty, the fish cannot be eaten. Men eat the fish and get strange diseases. In some Places men have no fish to eat any more, because the fish have died off. Each form of life is linked to all others. Breaking the links puts all life in danger.
67. How does everything living on earth live?
A. Each plant can live alone.
B. Each animal can live alone.
C. Everything living on earth can not live without needing other living things.
D. If living things want to live they must kill each other .
68. How is food for plants made? Food for plants is made_________.
A. from water B. from the air in the sky
C. from the soil D. from water, things in the soil and air, sunlight
69.How do all food chains break? All food chains are broken if________.
A. one kind of animal is eaten up
B. one kind of plant is destroyed
C. one kind of animal eats another
D. one of the links is destroyed
70.Which living things can use energy directly?
A. Animals. B. Plants.
C. Both animals and plants. D. All living things.
71. Why is all life in danger? Because ________ break up the food chains.
A. human beingsB. animals
C. plants and animalsD. man and wild animals

A powerful earthquake struck parts of Peru, Chile and Bolivia, leaving over 40 people dead, and hundreds more injured.
A major earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale shook the Pacific coast of Peru, northern Chile, and Bolivia Saturday, killing dozens of people and destroying scores of buildings.The Associated Press put the death toll at over 40. Juan Luis Podesta, the head of the national civil defense agency, told Reuters no overall official death toll was yet available, but added: “It’s going up minute by minute.”
All electricity has been cut off in the southern parts of the country making rescue efforts more difficult.
Falling debris (碎片,残骸) and collapsed homes have injured several people in the capital city of Lima. At least twelve fatalities were victims of falling debris in the southern city of Arequipa, which is located about 465 miles south of Lima, according to the Associated Press. At least 47 homes had collapsed there.
Arequipa’s mayor, Juan Manuel Guillen, said a state of emergency had been declared.Podesta said dozens of adobe(砖坯) homes in Arequipa and the southern city of Tacna, near the border with Chile, were destroyed, according to the Associated Press.Officials said another hard hit area was Moquequa, a southern mining town, some 865 miles south of Lima. Several people were reported injured and killed.“We have nowhere to escape to,” one man told a local radio station. Residents said a landslide had blocked one of the town’s chief roads and many houses had collapsed.
There were conflicting(不一致的, 矛盾的) reports on the magnitude of the earthquake. The U.S. Geological Survey (news-web sites)’s National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo., said the quake registered a 7.9 magnitude. Peru’s Geophysicial Institute said the quake’s magnitude was 6.
“This earthquake may have caused substantial damage and casualties due to its location and size,” the U.S.National Earthquake Center said in its Web site.Several aftershocks were also reported. The quake’s epicenter (震中) was about 30 miles northwest of the southern town of Ocona, the Geophysical Institute said.
The earthquake spread fear and panic throughout the town of Arequipa. Most people were afraid to return to their homes, fearing more damage due to aftershocks. Twenty aftershocks have been registered so far.
The town is over 7 000 feet above sea level, leaving survivors shivering in the streets. Media reports say that President Paniagua planned to fly into the region on one of two relief flights. Over 22 tons of food, blankets and medicine are anticipated to come to quake victims sometime early today.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Honolulu warned of a possible tsunami for the Pacific coast of Latin America, but Peru’s Geophysical Institute ruled out the possibility that a major one would hit its shores. Tsunamis are the undersea waves triggered(触发) by volcanic activity or earthquakes.
Last Major Earthquake in Peru Killed 70 000 in May 31，1970.
72.The death caused by the earthquake is ________.
A. less than 40 B. just 40 C.more than 40 D. we don’t know
73.From the passage we can infer that ________.
A.the earthquake occurred in several places
B.the damages caused by the earthquake were very serious
C.people were much frightened by the earthquake
D.all the above
74.Which is true according to the passage?
A.Peru knew nothing about the earthquake in advance.
B.The country had forecast the possibility of the earthquake.
C.The government don’t show any concern to the people.
D.There were never earthquakes in Peru.
75.The passage was probably ________.
A.a piece of news B. an advertisement C.a text-book D. a post
