阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

A Some scientists think the automobile is going to be useless. They say one day in the future all the autos will be thrown away and that we won’t use them any more. Others, 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 a lot over the next 30 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 the urban traffic jam. One suggested solution to this problem is the automated highway system.

When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached 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’s movements.

The driver will 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 that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that such a highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.

56. What provides autos with electric power in the automated highway system? A. A retractable arm. B. An engine. C. A rail.

D. A computer controller. 57. After putting in the information concerned, all the driver needs to do is to ______. A. keep in the right lane

B. inform the system of his destination by phone

C. keep in constant touch with the computer center

D. wait to arrive at his destination 58. What is the author’s main concern? A. How to make automobiles pollution-free. B. How to make smaller and safer automobiles.

C. How to solve the problem of traffic jams. D. How to develop a good subway system. 59. One big improvement in the future car will probably be _____. A. its monitoring system B. its driving speed

C. its power source D. its seating capacity 60. In what kind of book is this passage probably found? A. A popular science book. B. A history book.

C. A story book.

D. A nature book. B Abraham Lincoln was born in a small shelter in Kentucky on February 12, 1809. When he was a small boy, his family moved to Indiana. Here, his mother taught him to read and write. Lincoln had very little formal education, but he became one of the best-educated men of the Great West.

When Lincoln was a young man, his family moved to the new state of Illinois. Lincoln had to earn a living at an early age, but in his leisure time he studied law. He soon became one of the best-known lawyers in the state capital at Springfield, Illinois. It was here that Lincoln became famous for his debates with Stephen A. Douglas on the subject of slavery.

In 1860, Lincoln was elected President of the United States. He was the candidate of the new Republican Party. This party opposed the creation of new slave states. Soon after his election, some of the southern states withdrew from the Union and set up the Confederate States of America. This action brought on the terrible Civil War which lasted from 1861 to 1865.

On January 1, 1863, during the war, Lincoln issued his famous Emancipation Proclamation. In this document, Lincoln proclaimed that all the slaves were to be free from that date. In 1865, after the war ended, the Thirteenth Amendment (修正案) was added to the Constitution of the United States. The amendment put an end to slavery everywhere in the United States.

Early in 1865, the Civil War came to an end with the defeat of the South by the North. Only a few days after the end of the War, Lincoln was shot by an actor named John Wilkes Booth. The President died on April 14, 1865 and the world lost one of the greatest men of all time. 61. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Emancipation Proclamation. B. The Civil War. C. The success of Abraham Lincoln. D. The life of Abraham Lincoln. 62. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Abraham Lincoln received little education all his life. B. The new Republican Party was in favor of the creation of new slave states. C. Abraham Lincoln lived a poor life when he was young. D. Emancipation Proclamation issued by Lincoln ended slavery all over the United States. 63. Which is the right order of the following events?

a. Abraham Lincoln debated with Stephen A. Douglas on the subject of slavery. b. Abraham Lincoln was elected President. c. Abraham Lincoln moved to the new state of Illinois. d. The Civil War ended.

e. Abraham Lincoln moved to Indiana. f. The Thirteenth Amendment became part of the Constitution.

A. e c a b d f.

B. e c a b f d. C. b d e f c a.

D. e a f c b d. 64. What does the underlined sentence mean? A. When the South defeated the North, the Civil War ended. B. When the North won against the South, the Civil War ended. C. The Civil War ended the conflict between the South and the North. D. The South and the North ended the Civil War. 65. What can we infer from the passage? A. Abraham Lincoln was a great man but not everyone liked him. B. Lincoln was killed by John Wilkes Booth. C. The Civil War happened when Lincoln was elected President of the United States. D. Lincoln was elected President of the new Republican Party in 1860. C Imagine you wanted to go from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. If you wanted to go by plane, you could make the trip in a few hours. If you wanted to go by train, you could make the trip in two days. If you wanted to go by car, you could make the trip in a week or less. It would take much longer if you had to walk or go on horseback or by boat.

But the first men to cross North America went this slow way. It took them a year and a half to go from St. Louis, Missouri to the Pacific Ocean. They had to carry their own supplies with them. There were no roads to follow, and rivers were often dangerous.

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led the expedition. Forty-five men left St. Louis on May 8, 1804. They traveled up the Missouri River in boats. By late fall the men reached the land of the Manda Indians in what is now the state of North Dakota. Here they built a camp for the winter. Here also they met a French trapper and his Indian wife. The trapper and his wife became their guides.

In the spring of 1805, the men started up the Missouri River again. At last they came to a place where the river divided into three forks. At this place there is now a small town called Three Forks, Montana. They followed one of the forks, the Jefferson River, but the river soon became too small and they could no longer use their boats. They walked many miles before they reached the land of the Shoshone Indians. These Indians gave them horses for their trip over the Rocky Mountains.

The trip over the mountains was dangerous and difficult. Many of the men were sick, and there was little food. On the west side of the mountains, the explorers found the Columbia River. Here they built canoes to use on the rest of their trip westward. In November of 1806, after a long and hard trip, they reached the Pacific Ocean. 66. The route of the expedition’s whole trip was ______. A. Missouri —

Montana —

North Dakota —

Pacific Ocean B. Mississippi River —

Three Forks —

Columbia River —

Pacific Ocean C. St. Louis —

Three Forks —

Rocky Mountains —

Pacific Ocean D. Missouri River —

Columbia River —

land of the Manda Indians —

Pacific Ocean 67. According to this passage, the first explorers to cross North America_______. A. traveled eastwards B. had to travel by boat as there was no road to follow C. made a long and dangerous trip to the Pacific Ocean

D. spent half a year on the trip from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean 68.

From the passage, we can know the explorers ____. A. didn’t need to carry their supplies with themselves

B. met an English trapper and his Indian wife C. once stopped sailing for months during the expedition D. had to walk many miles before they reached Three Forks 69. Why did the explorers have to walk many miles from Three Forks to the land of Shoshone Indians? A. None of the forks was big enough for them to travel by boat. B. They had no idea which was the right fork to follow. C. All their boats had been broken by the rushing torrent of the river. D. Not long after they sailed up the Jefferson River they found it too small for sailing by boat. 70. After the long, hard and dangerous trip over the Rocky Mountains, the explorers ____. A. went westward on horseback B. ran out of food C. sailed by canoe till they reached the destination D. began an easy trip to the destination D With the development of society and economy, animals and their habitats are getting pushed aside as households decrease in size and increase in number.

Small numbers of people per household on average use more energy and goods per person. Greater numbers of households require more natural resources for construction. The possible result of this problem may be insufficient natural resources to meet consumer demand without endangering habitats important to biodiversity.

Personal freedom and social choice may come at huge environmental cost. Direct costs include visible damage to animal habitats and plant life. Indirect costs include the release of more greenhouse gases.

The effects of such “personal freedom and social choice”

have already surfaced in south-west China’s Wolong Nature Reserve. In Wolong, they found that a reduced average household size was directly tied to an increase in homes, and thus an increase in the amount of firewood consumed for cooking and heating. The rise in wood fuel use has contributed to disappearance of forests and to the loss of habitats for giant pandas.

Curious about whether other parts of the world were experiencing similar phenomena, they got the support of a team of researchers including Stanford’s Paul Ehrlich, well-known for his population studies, to find out the household dynamics(动态) in 141 countries between 1985 and 2000. Their study proved that the difficult choice of Wolong is part of a global trend.

In the 76 countries considered biodiversity “hotspots”, such as the United States, Brazil, Australia, and Kenya, the number of households grew by 3.1% every year, while the population increased just 1.8%. Meanwhile, the number of people per home dropped from 4.7 to 4.0. The decline in household size has resulted in 155 million additional households in hotspot countries, almost always limiting biodiversity.

In the 10 non-hotspot countries —

those without high-density areas of animal and plant species —

similar results were found, though on a lesser scale. Even in countries experiencing population decline, such as New Zealand, the number of households still increased because of a

reduction in household size. 71. What does the underlined word “insufficient”

mean? A. Plenty of.

B. Not enough. C. Rich.

D. Little.

72. It can be learned from the passage that China’s Wolong Nature Reserve__________. A. is facing the same threat as many other parts of the world B. sets a good example in protecting animals C. is a place where giant pandas and their habitats are not affected D. is a place where animals and their habitats are seriously damaged 73. Which of the following is best supported by the last two paragraphs? A. Biodiversity is better kept in countries with smaller populations. B. Biodiversity is better kept in hotspot countries. C. Both hotspot countries and non-hotspot countries face the threat of the same scale. D. The threat to nature from reduction in household size is a worldwide problem. 74. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Reduced household size leads to an increase in household number. B. Reduction in household size as well as increase in household number threatens nature. C. How to meet consumer demand without endangering animals and their habitats. D. Modern homes consume more natural resources. 75. Which of the following can best describe the feeling of the author? A. Happy.

B. Worried.

C. Satisfied. D. Disappointed.

Your ears are very important. Think what it would be like if you could not hear people talking or music or the telephone ring or your pet dog bark. But do you know how your ears work?

There are three parts to your ears —

outer ears, middle ears, inner ears. If your ears are working well, you hear sounds all the time. You can’t switch your ears off, even when you are asleep. When you really want to listen to something, you tell your brain to focus on that sound. If your ears are healthy and are both working well, they can turn down other sounds while you focus on ______. If one ear isn’t working as well as the other (If your hearing is unequal), then they can’t do this as well. If your hearing cells have been damaged by too much loud noise or music, ation all his liwhat you want to hear can get mixed up and lost in the other sounds around. With healthy ears you can choose what you want to listen to, but you can’t choose what you hear.

Your brain sorts out the sounds and tells you what they mean. Some people have problems understanding what they are hearing because their ears don’t work well and they don’t hear all the sounds. The brain does not get enough information to understand the messages or they may be mixed up. 76. What is the best title for this passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)

77. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one? Your brain processes the received sounds and tells you the meanings.

78. Please fill in the blank with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.)

79. Which do you think is the most important, outer ears, middle ears or inner ears.? Why? (Please answer within 30 words.)

80. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.

Dear Li Fen,

Making friends is quite an art. Here are some suggestions I want to give to you.

First, if you want to meet people and make friends with others, you must go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home alone.

Second, many people are nervous when talking to strangers. They always think other people are talking about them. If you think so, you are wrong.

Third, try to act self-confidently when you want to make friends. If you see someone you’d like to speak to, say something. Don’t wait for others to start a conversation.

Last but not least, you should be friendly to the people around you. In my opinion, this is the key to starting a friendship.

If you try your best, I’m sure you can make many friends soon.

Yours,

Li Hua 重点解析

２２．

Ｄ。考查词义辨析。本句意思为：人们总是把健康的生活与开阔的乡村和自家种的食物联系在一起。associate sb / sth with表示

“把某人（物）与……联系起来”，符合题意。tie sth with sth表示

“把……捆在一起”；表示

“与……联系在一起”应用be tied to；bind表示

“捆，使联合在一起”；involve意为

“包含，涉及”，表示

“与某活动或事件有关联”用be involved in。２５．

Ｂ。考查交际用语。前一个人对对方提出警告。根据后面的

“Thank you”可知，后者接受了警告，因此选B，表示

“我们不会”，will在此表示一种主观上的意愿。２６．

Ｂ。考查表语从句和主语从句。本句意思为：你现在必须认真考虑的问题是怎样将你所学的东西运用到实践中去。关系副词how引导表语从句；表语从句中又包含了主语从句what you have learned。３２．

Ｃ。考查表语从句中的虚拟语气。order后的表语从句，若是说明order的具体内容，则从句中的谓语动词用虚拟语气，即（should）+ 动词原形。由于句中goods是动作的承受者，因此用被动语态。３６．

Ｃ。hold on to 意为“紧紧抓住”。通读全文知道现在这些人是在茫茫大海里，他们必须抱住能找到的任何一块木头，以帮助自己逃生。

５６．

Ｃ。文中第四段提到，当汽车进入高速公路系统时，一个可伸缩的手臂就会垂下来与“a rail”相接触，这种情况就类似于有电控制的地铁一样。一旦与这个“rail”相连，汽车就会从系统中获得电力。６７．

Ｃ。

据第二段

“a year and a half”

和文中几次出现

“dangerous”

可知C项正确。A项错在“eastwards”，应该是“westwards”；B项错在

“by boat”，因为他们的西行方式还有“on foot”和“on horseback”。６８．

Ｃ。根据文章第三和第四段可知：他们1804年5月离开St. Louis，深秋才到达North Dakota这个地方，然后在那搭起了帐篷过冬，第二年的春天他们才又从Missouri River出发，最后终于到达Three Forks。由此可推出经历了好几个月的时间，所以选C项。７１．

Ｂ．

根据上句和本句中的“to meet consumer demand without endangering habitats important to biodiversity”得知既要获得更多的资源进行建设，又要不影响动植物的栖息地，可能的结果是资源短缺，故选B。
