Many years ago ,when I was a man in my twenties ,I

We 21 our pianos all

receive a reply on a postcard ,which said ,"Please bring me a new piano

．What else could I do?
But then, one day I 30

One day years later, I was in Memphis on other

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Do you read your sheets when you go to bed at night?
Books and newspapers aren't always
on paper．Sandra Hickman, an American writer, recently
published a book of poems on sheets
and clothes．She said ,"People can hang my poems on
washing lines and take them to the laundromat( 自动洗衣店 )．This is better than books which they can only read in dark, dusty
libraries．"
About a hundred and fifty years ago there were
newspapers that weren't on paper．There
was a government tax on newspapers．Publishers who
didn't want to pay the tax printed their
news on handkerchiefs．It was a good idea．But ,in the end they still had to pay．
On 21st October,1875,an Australian papered news on handkerchiefs．It was difficult to
get paper and it was very expensive．So the editor
bought hundreds of handkerchiefs．After he sold all his
"news-handkerchiefs", he needed the handkerchiefs for next issues．He employed boys to collect all the handkerchiefs．Then they washed them and used them again．
They did this until they could buy more paper．
In 1850,a Paris newspaper came out on rubber．It was especially for people who liked to read in the bath !
36．It seemed that Sandra's poems printed on the clothes
______________ ．
A．could only be read before the first wash
B．could be read in dark and dusty places
C．could be read at any time and any places
D．could be read even after they were washed many times
37．The Australian printed news on handkerchiefs because
_____________ ．
A．paper hadn't come into being yet
B．he wanted to avoid paying taxes
C．paper was expensive and difficult to get
D．he wanted to try his new ideas
38．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Sandra Hickman came from America．
B．The publishers were not able to escape taxes in the
end．
C．Paper wasn't invented until 1875．
D．A French publisher once printed news on rubber．
39．What could we learn from the text?
A．Rubber could also be used to print news on．
B．Nobody would buy the reused handkerchiefs．
C．People could read more poems on washing lines than in
the dark library．
D．The number of news-handkerchiefs was large．
B
When do you become an adult, a grown-up? At
eighteen? Twenty-one? Thirty? Adulthood
may seem a long way away to you, but the fact is that you are in the process of
becoming an adult right now．The changes are so gradual
that you may not notice them, but you can be sure that they're happening．
When you were a child, a parent or older relative
probably bought your clothes and helped you clean up your room．Now you are likely to care for your bedroom, and to share other
house-work．You may once have had trouble getting your
homework finished on time．By now, you may have learned
to rush yourself．You know how much time you need．Do you remember begging your parents to stop for ice cream ,or take
an after-school job when you want money for a new clock radio? Of course ,you
don't always plan your time and your money perfectly．But
you're learning．
As you get older, you have more privileges( 特权 )and more responsibilities．You may
baby-sit for younger brothers and sisters ,help cook dinner, and do odd jobs to
contribute to the family income．You may get to stay up
to watch a late movie on television ,sit in on adult conversations, take
subways and buses alone ,or go on camping trips with your friends．Eventually, you will have a job and an apartment of your own．You’ll become a voter and perhaps a husband or wife．maybe even a parent．But doing things adults
do does not necessarily mean you will be wiser ,braver, or more self-assured( 自信 )．It takes time to gain knowledge and build
self-confidence．Adults need to test themselves in the
world, just as you do as a teenager．Being an adult is a
continual process of growth．
40．The writer of this passage may be ________ ．
A．a teenager B．an old
man C．middle-aged D．a
thoughtful person
41．The best title for this passage may be ________ ．
A．Becoming an Adult
B．It Is No Good Becoming an Adult
C．Becoming a Voter
D．Adulthood Is a Long Way Away to You
42．According to the passage, the writer may probably
think that
A．nobody can be called an adult
B．becoming an adult is a long process of becoming
learned and self-assured
C．adults are not self-confident
D．only adults can plan time and money perfectly
43．Which of the following is NOT true according to the
passage?
A．You may not realize you're growing up because changes
are gradual．
B．You used to beg for toys when you were young．
C．Even if you are quite grown up, you still need to
acquire knowledge．
D．People will never be wise ,brave or self-assured．
C
People love suspension bridges for many reasons :
their beauty ,their convenience ,their mathematical elegance ( 优雅 ),their long spans( 跨度 ),or even for the local bragging rights they offer．
Here's a list of four top suspension bridges-just a sampling of the world's
wonderful spans．
Akashi Kailyo
Location: Kobe-Naruto, Japan
Year: 1998
Main span: 1,991meters
The longest suspension span on earth (as of 2004) also has the tallest towers．A 1995
earthquake struck while the bridge was under construction ,moving the towers
apart by almost
three feet．So engineers had to change the plans．
Great Belt East
Location: Halsskov-Sprogoe, Denmark
Year: 1998
Main span:1,624meters
Denmark's biggest building project connected the nation's two main islands,
Zealand and
Funen．The bridge helped cut average travel times across
the body of water known as the Great
Belt from 90 minutes, via ferry ( 摆渡 ),to 10-15 minutes
on the bridge．
Humber
Location: Hun ,England
Year:1981
Main span: 1,410meters
This bridge spans the Humber River in East Yorkshire, near the site of an ancient
Roman
ferry service that operated around 70 A．D．Construction took longer than expected, but Queen
Elizabeth II presided ( 主持 ) over the opening in July
1981．
Mackinac Straits
Location: Mackinaw City ,MI,USA
Year: 1957
Main span:1,158 meters
After a year round ,ferry service proved impossible in the cold weather．Residents first
proposed a bridge or tunnel connecting Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas in
the 1880s．
Over seven decades later,engineers made 85,OOO blueprints and 4,OOO engineering
drawings
for the bridge called the Mighty Mac．
44．According to the text ,people like suspension
bridges because ___________ ．

B．they are modernly designed and extremely wide

was being built．
47．The text is most likely to be fbund in

D
Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying
something to the public．Not onIy does he want to say it
well ,but he wants it to be something which has not been said before．He hopes the public will listen and understand he wants to teach
them ,and he wants them to learn from What artists like painters want to teach
is easy to make out but difficult to explain ,because painters translate their
experiences into shapes and colors,not words．They seems
to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors,out of the countless
billions possible ,is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to
us．Without their works we should never have noticed
these particular shapes and colors,or have felt the delight which they brought
to the artist．
Most artists take their shapes and colors from the
world of nature and from human bodies in motion and calm ;their choices show
that these aspects of the world are worth looking at,and that they contain
beautiful sights．Contemporary ( 当代 ) artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide
an interesting pattern,and that there is nothing more in it．Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the
character of their subjects．
If one painter chooses to paint an injured leg and
another a lake in moonlight ,each of
them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world．Each painter is telling us something, showing us something,
emphasizing ( 强调 ) us something ,an of which means
that, consciously( 有意识地 )or unconsciously, he is trying
to teach us．
48．According to the passage ,most people may _______
without the artists'works．
A．not know the meaning of life
B．feel that life is uninteresting
C．not easily catch what the artist tells them
D．probably ignore some special shapes and colors
49．The underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to
___________ ．
A．the audience
B．the artists
C．the works
D．the shapes and colors
50．It can be inferred that all artists _______ ．
A．want to make a speech to the public
B．want to express something unusual in their works
C．pay great attention to the feeling of the public
D．like to express themselves by painting
51．Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Every painting is meaningful．
B．It is difficult for artists to explain something in
their works．
C．Modern artists often choose subjects which are
interesting and beautiful．
D．Artists like to show off their learning．
E
Some experts feel 由 at the
automobile is bound to( 注定 )fall into disuse．They see a day in the not-too-far future when all autos will be
deserted and allowed to rust( 生锈 )．Other experts, however, think the auto is here to stay．They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel
in the foreseeable future．
The motorcar will undoubtedly change over the next 3O
years．It should become smaller ,
safer, and more economical ,and should not be powered by the gas engine．The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present
types．
Regardless of its power source ,the auto in the future
will still be the main problem in urban traffic jam．One
proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system．
When the auto enters the highway system, a
retractable( 可伸缩的 )am will drop from the auto and make
contact with a rail ,which is similar to those powering subway trains
electrically．Once connected to the rail, the car will
become electrically powered from the system,and control of the vehicle will
pass to a central computer．The computer will then
monitor all of the car movements．
The driver win use a telephone to dial instructions
about his destination into the system．
The computer will calculate the best route , and
reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway．The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer ( 蜂鸣器 ) that will warn him of his coming exit．It
is estimated( 估计 ) that an automated highway will be
able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 02,000
vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway．
52．The future car will be improved in all the following
EXCEPT ________ ．
A．its
size
B．its
shape
C．its
cost
D．Its power source
53．What is the author's main concern?
A．How to improve the cars in the future．
B．How to make smaller and safer automobiles．
C．How to solve the problem of traffic jams．
D．How to develop an subway system．
54．What provides autos with electric power in an
automated highway system?
A．A rail．
B．An engine．
C．A retractable arm．
D．A central computer．
55．What need drives do when they enter an automated
highway system?
A．To direct the automobiles．
B．To operate the computer．
C．To inform the system of the destination by phone．
D．To wait and relax．

Life for Chinese Students
Chinese students are often busy,
especially before they become college students. Early in the primary school,
every child is expected to go to college. Pupils are usually seen loaded with
heavy schoolbags. Going to middle school only means more exercises and
examinations. The desks are piled with books and test papers. They have little
time for entertainment. It is too much for teenagers. However, they have to
face the challenge of the college entrance examination! But once admitted to
universities, some students are so addicted to playing that they fail to
graduate.
Something must be done so that students can enjoy
their life while learning what ought to be learned in primary and middle
schools. At college, students should learn enough to make a living after
graduation.
