    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（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    Spiders are actually useful. They do not harm plants, as some people think. Instead, they protect plants by controlling insects. If you see spiders in a garden, it doesn’t mean the garden is unhealthy. It means the spiders are helping the garden stay healthy.
    If you spend some time watching spiders, you may be surprised by what you see. There are many wonderful webs. They may perform skillfully on their thin silk threads. However, some spiders spin (织) no webs at all. They follow insects on the ground with all the skill and cruelty of a tiger hunting big game.
    Scientists have named about 30,000 species of spiders, but they think this is only one-fourth of all the different kinds of spiders in the world. In most species, people can easily tell the female spider from the male because the female is much bigger. For example, the female black widow (黑寡妇) weighs about one hundred times as much as the male.
    Female spiders lay eggs. After hatching (孵), most spiders live less than a full year, but some don’t. Tarantulas (狼蛛) do not become adults until they are 10 or 11 years old. Female tarantulas often live an extra 10 years! The baby spiders that hatch from the eggs are called spiderlings.
    56. The underlined in Paragraph 2 part “a tiger hunting big game” refers to “______.”
    A. laying eggs                  B. hatching baby spiders
    C. spinning webs               D. catching insects
    57. How many kinds of spiders are there in the world according to the passage?
    A. About 30, 000.      B. About 60, 000.    C. About 90, 000.    D. About 120, 000.
    58. What can we know from the passage?
    A. If there are spiders in your garden, it means it is unhealthy.
    B. All spiders can spin webs.
    C. Normally, a male spider is smaller than a female one.
    D. All spiders can live 10 or 11 years after hatching.
    59. What will be probably talked about after the last paragraph?
    A. The way spiders spin webs.                   B. Something about spiderlings.
    C. How the spiders protect plants.                 D. The way spiders stay healthy.

    四、阅读理解（本题有16小题，每小题2分，共32分）
    第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。
    It’s important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:
    1. Reduce
    If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste.
    2. Reuse
    You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your used clothes or the small ones to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.
    3. Recycle
    Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat (压平) and melted (融化) and the metal things are made for new coke cans.
    4. Recover
    When you buy a box of apples, there may be few rotten apples, you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apples away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.
    5. Repair
    If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is true that North America is a “throw-away” society, but the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.
    51. The “Reduce” rule mainly requires us _______.
    A. to use things wisely                          B. to cut down many trees
    C. to use a lot of paper                          D. to throw away your old clothes
    52. What’s the right order of recycling coke cans?
    a. collect the used cans                              b. melt them
    c. smash them flat                                     d. send them to a factory
    A. a b c d                    B. a d c b                     C. d b c a                     D. c a b d
    53. The “Recover” rule mainly requires us _______.
    A. to throw waste things away                          B. to cover waste things with earth
    C. to get back the useful parts                           D. to throw the whole things away
    54. Which is the best way to do with your broken tables?
    A. Throwing them away.                                  B. Repairing them.
    C. Selling them.                                              D. Putting them away.

    D
    　　In the atmosphere,carbon dioxide actd rather like a one-way mirror or the glass in the roof of a greenhouse which allows the sun's rays to enter but prevents the heat from excaping.
    　　According to a weather expert's prediction,the atmosphere will be 3 warmer in the year 2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn luels at the present rate. If this warming up took place,the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt,thus raising sea level several meters and severely flooding coastal cities.Also，the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere(半球),psooicbly resulting in an alteration of earth's chief food growing zones.
    　　In the past,concern about a man - made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet.But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic,which may be affected by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from on burning of fuels.
    　　Satellite pictures showthat large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing.The evidence available suggests that a warming has taken place.This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth.
    　　However,most of the fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere,where temperatures seem to be falling.Scientists conclude,therefore,that up to now natural influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man.The question is:Which natural cause has most effect on the weather?
    　　One possibility is the variable behavior of the sun.Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and cold spots(that is,the relatively less hot spots) on the sun. As the sun rotates(旋转),every 27.5 days,it presents hotter or colder faces to the earth,and different aspects to different parts of the earth.This seems to have a considerable effect on the distribution of the earth's atmospheric pressure,and consequently on wind circulation.The sun is also variable over a long term:its heat output goes up and down in cycles,the latest trend being downward.
    　　Scientists are now finding mutual relations between models of solar weather interactions and the actual climate over many thousands of years ,including the last Ice Age.The problem is that the models are predicting that the world should be entering a new Ice Age and it is not.
    　　One way of solving this theoretical difficulty is to assume a delay of thousands of years while the solar effects overcome the inertia(不活动，惰性) of the earth's climate.If this is right,the warming effect of carbon dioxide might thus be serving as a useful counter balance to the sun's diminishing heat.
    　　68.It can be concluded that a concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would ___.
    　　　A.mean a warming - up im the Arctic
    　　　B.raise the temperature of the earth's surface
    　　　C.prevent the sun's rays from reaching the earth's surface
    　　　D.account for great changes in the climate in the northern hemiphere
    　　69.Although the fuel consumption is greater in the northern hemisphere,temperatures there seem to be falling.This is _______.
    　　　A.mainly because the levels of carbon dioxide are rising
    　　　B.partly due to variations in the output of solar energy
    　　　C.possibly because the ice caps in the poles are melting
    　　　D.exclusively due to the effect of the inertia of the earth's climate
    　　70.On the basis of their models,scientists are of the opinion that ________.
    　　　A.the climate of the world should be becoming cooler
    　　　B.the new Ice Age will be delayed by the greenhouse effect
    　　　C.the man - made warming effect helps to increase the solar effects
    　　　D.it will take thousands of years for the inertia of the earth's climate to take effect

    Thousands of people in the world are a hundred years old－or more and certain parts of the world are famous for the long lives of their inhabitants: the Vilacamba Valley in Ecuador, and the home of the Hunzas in the Himalayas．
    Why do so many people live to a healthy old age in certain parts of the world? What is the secret of their long lives? Three things seem to be very important: fresh air, fresh food and a simple way of life．People work near their homes in the clean mountain air instead of travelling long distances to work by bus, car or train．They do not sit all day in busy offices or factories, but work hard outdoors in the fields．They take more exercise and eat less food than people in the cities of the West．For years the Hunzas of the Himalayas did not need policemen, lawyers or doctors．There was no crime, no divorce and not much illness in their society． They were a happy, peaceful people, famous all over India for their long, healthy lives．
    Do you want to live to a hundred years old? Here are some rules for success．Firstly, choose your parents and grandparents carefully．If they lived or live to a good old age, so will you．Secondly, live in the right place．Thirdly, choose the right  kind of job．Doctors, dentists and bus-drivers die young．Farmers, priests and orchestral conductors live much longer．If you are in the wrong kind of job, you can still improve your way of life．
    An old man in the Caucasus was talking about his past life．"I was young then," he said, as he described his 87th year．His secret was: "Think young and stay young．" An old woman from Missouri, USA, gave this advice, "Drink a little whisky and some warm beer every day．" An English lady just said, "Take a cold bath every morning．" The shortest, simplest piece of advice came from Mr．Jim Chapman, aged 103．"Just keep breathing," he told reporters．
    72．Who is most likely to live a long life?
    A．A doctor．   B．A bus-driver．   C．A dentist．   D．An orchestral conductor．
    73．We can see from the passage that long-lived people avoid ____．
    A．working hard             B．drinking
    C．eating too much            D．taking cold baths
    74．The passage indicates that we can change our _____to live a long life．
    A．jobs    B．places of living   C．ways of living   D．ways of thinking
    75．What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?
    A．Whose advice is the best．
    B．Who is the most long-lived person in the world．
    C．Lifestyles of long-lived people．
    D．How long-lived people think of their life．

    D
    Global warming is the process of earth’s atmosphere heating up. Over the last 100 years, the average temperature of earth’s atmosphere has gone up 1 Fahrenheit. The weather has not changed exactly the same way in every area of the planet. But scientists think that the rise in average temperature is already affecting the earth’s climate.
    Many scientists now believe that global warming is caused by cutting down trees, producing more trash, and polluting the environment are some of the reasons that the temperature has gone up. Many scientists believe that the biggest causes of global warming are new human technologies that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
    The greenhouse effect is not new. Certain gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane, prevent heat energy from escaping back into space. In the past, the climate didn’t change much because nature produced just the right amount of greenhouse gases to deal with it.
    Today, most scientists are pretty sure that the rising temperature can’t be blamed on nature. Ever since the industrial revolution in the 1700s, humans have relied on machines for daily life. And many of those machines give off a lot of greenhouse gases. An increase in the release of greenhouse gases from human activities is throwing nature off balance.
    The climate is a very complicated thing, but many scientists agree that the rising atmospheric temperature has already damaged the environment. Sheets of ice, called glaciers, are melting in Antarctica and other parts of the globe. As glaciers break off and melt into the oceans, they are adding warm water to the oceans and causing the sea level to rise.
    Over the past last 100years, the sea level has risen 6-8 inches around the world. That means land along the coasts is beginning to disappear under water. Bigger and warmer oceans are also adding to other weather problems caused by pollution in the atmosphere. Some places have received more rain, others have had bigger storms and a few areas in the world have experienced unusual droughts.
    68. What is mainly talked about in this passage?
    A. The melting of glaciers.                B. Global warming.
    C. The world’s weather.                  D. The earth’s temperature.
    69. What causes global warming according to scientists?
    A. Human activities.                     B. The nature itself.
    C. The earth’s atmosphere.                D. New discoveries
    70. How can greenhouse gases make the globe warm?
    A. They keep heat in the atmosphere   
    B. They let the heat go out into space.
    C. They release heat into the air.       
    D. They can make the other gases warm.
    71. From the passage we can see that global warming will bring about _________.
    A. the pollution in the atmosphere            B. natural disasters
    C. population pollution                     D. the rise of glaciers

    An important factor that plays a part in susceptibility （易受影响） to colds is age．A study done by the University of Michigan School of Public Health indicated the fact that seems to hold true for the general population．Babies are the group suffering most from colds, averaging more than six colds in their first years．Boys have more colds than girls up to age three．After the age of three, girls are more susceptible than boys, and teenage girls average three colds a year to boy's two．
    The general frequency of colds continues to decline into adults．Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds annually．One exception is found among people in their twenties, especially women, who show a rise in cold infections（感染）, because people to this age group are most likely to have young children．Adults who delay having children until their thirties and forties experience the same sudden increase in cold infections．
    The study also found that economics （经济状况） plays an important role．As income increases, the frequency at which colds are reported in the family decreases．Families with the lowest income suffer about a third more colds than families at the upper end．Lower income generally forces people to live in closer quarters than those typically occupied by wealthier people, and crowding increases the opportunities for the cold virus to travel from person to person．Low income may also influence diet．The degree to which poor nutrition affects susceptibility to colds is not yet clearly proved, but an inadequate diet is suspected of lowering resistance generally．
    68. What factors cause people to catch colds easily?
    A. Age and pregnancy．             B. Health and pregnancy．
    C. Health and economics．                  D. Age and economics．
    69. Why does the lowest income lead to the rapid spread of colds?
    A. Because poor people can't afford to go to see a doctor．
    B. Because balanced diet has definitely affected poor people．
    C. Because people with the lowest income have limited living space．
    D. Because cold virus don't have opportunities to travel in poor families．
    70. How does the study prove that age plays a part in susceptibility to colds?
    A. Using comparison．  B. Using graphs．
    C. Using description．  D. Using argument．
    71. What can you learn from the passage?
    A. Families with the lowest income suffer less colds than rich families．
    B. The general frequency of colds are likely to increase among the poor．
    C. Women in their twenties are most likely to avoid cold infections．
    D. The general frequency of colds continue to rise into the adults．

    Computer mouse is no longer so strong. A Canadian engineer has invented a system that enables a computer user to push a cursor（光标）across a screen simply by moving his or her nose .He calls his nose-driven mouse a mouse.
    The inventor ,Dmity Gorodnichy ,came up with the idea for the mouse while building computer software that would help astronauts operate the Canadarm—a long robotic arm on the U.S. space shuttle .His system employs a web-camera that recognizes a computer user’s nose from 25 pixels ,or points of light. Dmity chose the nose because its position remains relatively constant no matter which way the head moves .The system keeps track of the pixels, and the user matches the movements of his or her nose with the progress of the cursor across the screen.
    The mouse keeps track of the eyes too. Two blinks（眨眼）are a “double click,” which turns the mouse on or off.
    The mouse has received mixed comments from those who hold opposite opinions. One called it “a pointless waste of technology” . Another predicted that the nouse will fail to catch on because it makes users “look silly.” Dmity has already adapted the nouse for NousePong, a video game ,and NousePaint ,a drawing program.
    He also predicts that the mouse will attract the people who have suffered from specific disease-pain ,senselessness ,or trembling in the hand caused by the frequent repetition of movements of the wrist and fingers ,such as typing at a computer keyboard .His next plan is to adapt the nouse for use by paralyzed（瘫痪）patients in hospitals .With two blinks of the eyes ,patients could double-click for help.
    72．The best title for this passage is probably      .
    A．Mouse Driven by Nose
    B．Cursor Moved Without fingers
    C.New Computer System for Astronauts
    D．New Type of Mouse for Patients
    73．The nouse is a system working by means of          .
    A．keeping track of the points of light
    B．moving one’s nose or blinking
    C.moving cursor across the screen
    D．matching the user’s nose with eyes
    74．The underlined phrase “catch on” means “       ”.
    A．become popular     B．be used      C.get improved        D．be made
    75．Dmity predicts that the nouse will be more used to help          .
    A．those who have eye trouble
    B．develop a video game and drawing program
    C.those traveling in space
    D．the disabled with the hand and paralyzed patients

    Four hundred and three babies are crying loudly. Do you know how to make them quiet in 41 seconds? There is an amazing new product on sale in Japan which does exactly this. It is an LP (a long-playing record) of sounds from inside a mother's body, which a hospital doctor recorded. In tests with the record she played the LP to 403 crying babies. After 41 seconds none of the babies was crying and 161 of them were sleeping.
    The record began as an experiment by Professor Hajime Minooka of the Nippon Medical University near Tokyo. He was looking for something natural that helps new-born babies go to sleep. The sound of the mother's heart-beat and other body sounds are the things the babies heard inside their mothers. They feel safe and happy when they hear these sounds again. And they go to sleep.
    Hospitals in Osaka and Tokyo are using the LP. 10,000 young couples are using it too. Toshiba Music Company who make and sell the records are very happy. One and a half million couples（夫妇) marry every year in Japan. Many will have babies, so the LP will definitely（明确的、干脆地) be a hit!
