第三节：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（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A

“Mummy, I don?t know what to play with.” Steve interrupts his mother, who is talking to a friend, for the fourth time. “Y ou?ve got a room full of toys!” his mother says, impatiently. In fact it is the jumble of toys which is to blame for four- year old Steve?s lack of interest in his dolls, cars and stuffed (packed) animals. Each morning he tips out three washing baskets or toys all over his floor, listlessly pulls out something and shortly after is standing at his mother?s desk or following her into the kitchen saying: “Mummy, I am bored.”

A family therapist (心理医生) explains why children lose interest when they have a whole “toy shop” at home:“According to their brain development little children are not in a position to judge the quality of a variety of things at once. There is always just one favorite toy for the moment. All the rest is left lying about.” What can parents do to stop their children from being oversupplied with toys? Under no conditions simply make something disappear without the child?s knowledge. If he/she takes no more notice of a toy, a parent can ask if it can be stored or given away,. Be warned though the child will always say he she wants it then! A talk with relatives and friends may also help. Lyn is the mother of four – year – old Jessie, and we like her way. A small set of shelves in her child?s room holds the toys and books that are the current (at present) favorites. When it seems to her that her daughter is tired of these toys, they put them away in a box together and select some other toys from a cupboard in another room. The box of “old” toys goes into the cupboard. When her child says the is “bored”, they also get something from her cupboard –it may be something she has had or some time but because she hasn?t seen it for a while it is almost like a new toy.

Some favorite toys stay out all the time, and there is collection of dolls which sits in the corner, but in this way Lyn has found that she has fewer toys to put away at the end of the day and her daughter always has something “fresh”to play with.

( )56. Steve interrupted his mother several times because .

A. he felt uninterested in his toys

B. he disliked his mother?s guest

C. he didn?t have enough toys to play with

D. he hoped his mother would play with him

( ) 57. According to the therapist, children often complain that they have nothing to play with because .

A. they can?t play alone for a long time

B. they are too young to play with so many toys

C. they are too lazy to pick out their favourites

D. they lack the ability to valu e too many things at a time ( ) 58. Which of the following can be used in place of “jumble”?

A. Simple choice.

B. Mixture in disorder.

C. Ordinary appearance.

D. Same shape. ( )59. Which is the advice given to parents in the text?

A. Buy fewer toys for their children.

B. Form good habits for their children.

C. Spare some time to play with their children.

D. Put some toys away without telling their children.

B

People are making more and more demands on the world?s natural resources. If babies born in 1991 live for eighty years, the human population of the word may be anything from twi ce to three times the present total by 2070. In other words, they will have to share what is left of the earth?s resources with 15 billion other people. But hopefully there will be an important decrease in the growth of population. What if this does not happen? The answer is that by the time before the babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they could be sharing resources with as many as 10 billion other people.

Limiting the pollution of water and the atmosphere, controlling the output of the chemicals that may be causing

the global warming and climate change, and eating less meat may go some to help, but can anyone seriously imagine that these are going to solve the problems of the “baby class” of 1991?

There is no getting away from the fact that people are responsible (对……负责)for the present state of the world, and only people can solve the problems. The decisions have to be taken by people as members of national and local governments; as leaders and decision – makers in industry; as scientists and technologists; as professional engineers and designers; as religious (宗教的) leaders and individual citizens.

( ) 60. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. Making More Demands on the Natural Resources

B. Limiting the Pollution of Air and Water

C. Reducing the World Population

D. Saving the Babies of 1991

( ) 61. What does the author mean by …the problems of the …baby class? of 1991?

A. A large number of babies will be born after 1991.

B. Babies born in 1991 won?t live a long life.

C. The children of 1991 are not given good education.

D. The problems caused by babies born in 1991. ( ) 62. This short passage is probably taken from .

A. a news report

B. a guide to the world

C. an article by a medical worker

D. a government report

( ) 63. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the last paragraph as people responsible for the present state of the world?

A. Officials.

B. Industrialists.

C. Businessmen.

D. Scientists

Most episodes(情况)of absent –mindedness –forgetting where you left something of wondering why you just entered a room – are caused by a simple lack of attention, says Schacter. “Y ou?re supposed to remember something, but you haven?t encoded (译成密码) it deeply.”

Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact (影响) on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don?t pay attention to what you did because you?re involved in a conversation, you?ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe(衣柜). “Y our memory itself isn?t failing you,”says Schacter. “Rather, you didn?t give your memory system the information it needed”.

Lack of interest can also lead to absent- mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,”says Zelinski, “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.” Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory depends on just that.

“Visual cues can help prevent absent – mindedness”, says Schacter. “But be sure the cue is clear and available,” he cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication (药物) with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table –don?t leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.

Another common episode of absent – mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you?re there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else, “Everyone does this from time to time,” says zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and you?ll likely remember.

( ) 72. We can learn from the passage that encoding

A. slows down the process of losing our memories

B. helps us understand our memory system better

C. gets us to recall something from our memories

D. helps us to find out the mobile phone in the pocket ( ) 73. Why do women have better memories than men?

A . They seldom use their mobile phones.

B. They are more nervous about the environment.

C. They are more interested in what?s happening around them.

D. They usually take some special medic ine to improve memories.

( )74. The sentence underlined in paragraph 4 means that .

A. a note in the pocket will easily get lost.

B. putting something in sight can be a good reminder

C. taking medicine can get rid of absent – mindedness

D. people of absent – mindedness must take medicine with them

( ) 75. What is the passage mainly about?

A . The causes of absent – mindedness. B. The environment and memory.

May 3, Sunday Fine

Today we visited a farm. Early in the morning we met at the school gate and went there together. The farm workers gave us a warm welcome. Then the head of the farm showed us around. How glad we were to see the crops and vegetables growing well. At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. After a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing, telling jokes or stories.Two or us even played a game of chess. The time passed quickly. Before we knew it, we had to say good-bye to the workers.

Now radio is still with us. And the number of listeners is becoming larger. One reason for this is the invention of the transistor radio. A transistor radio is easy to carry. Y ou can put it in your pocket and listen to it on the bus or on your bike when you go to work.

Radio is better for blind people, for old people whose sight is not good enough to watch TV, and for people who are busy working. What is more, radio is much cheaper than TV.

A student is learning to speak British English. He wonders: Can I communicate with Americans? Can they understand me? Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences?

Certainly, there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, the British say “in hospital” and “Have you a pen?” Americans say “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen?” Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound the r?s in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Some speakers of British English do not sound the r?s in these words.

There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example. “colour”and “honour” are British. “color” and “honor” are American.

These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling, and vocabulary are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language.

Its neighbors are Canada to the north andMexico to the south. Although the United States is a big country, it is not the largest in the world. In 2000, its population was over 222 million. When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented on the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 stars. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states ofAlaska and Hawaii. Indians were the first people of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of Indians now living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Ind ians are “the only real Americans”. Most Americans come from all over the world. Those who came first in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of North America were mostly from England. It is for that reason that the language of theUnited States is English and that its culture and customs are more like those of England than those of any other country in the world. 6. Which of the following is TRUE? A. America is the largest country in the world.
