    Plants, like animals, are subject to diseases of various kinds．It has been estimated that some 30,000 different diseases attack our economic plants; forty are known to attack corn, and about as many attack wheat．The results of unchecked plant disease are all too obvious in countries which have marginal food supplies．The problem will soon be more widespread as the population of the world increases at its frightening rate．Even in countries which are now amply fed by their agricultural products there could soon be the major crops; the resulting famines(饥荒) could kill millions of people, and the resulting hardship on other millions could cause political upheavals(动乱) disastrous to the order of the world．
    Some plants have relative immunity to a great many diseases, while others have a susceptibility to them．A blight (萎菌病) may be but a local infection easily controlled; on the other hand it can attack particular plants in a whole region or nation．An example is the blight which killed virtually every chestnut tree in North America．Another is the famous potato blight in Ireland in the last century．As a result of that, it was estimated that one million people died of starvation and related ailments．
    Plant pathologists have made remarkable strides in identifying the pathogens of the various diseases．Bacteria may invade a plant through an infestation of insect parasites carrying the pathogen．A plant can also be inoculated by man．Other diseases might be caused by fungus which attacks the plant in the form of a model or smut or rust．Frequently such a primary infection will weaken the plant so that a secondary infection may result form its lack of tolerance．The symptoms(症状) shown may cause an error in diagnosis, so that treatment may be directed toward bacteria(细菌) which could be the result of a susceptibility caused by a primary virus infection．
    小题1:How many diseases are known to attack wheat?
    A．Around 30000B．Forty
    C．Around 29960D．Around 40
    小题2:Unchecked plant disease won't result in_______．
    A．food shortages in poor country B．food shortages in rich country
    C．increase of world populationD．disaster in world politics
    小题3:What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
    A．Some plants have relative immunity to a great many diseases．
    B．Some other plants have a susceptibility to a great many diseases．
    C．The tolerance of a particular plant changes as the growing conditions change．
    D．A blight can be a national infection．
    小题4:According to the passage, some plant diseases can__________．
    A．infect people
    B．be prevented by inoculation（接种疫苗）
    C．be prevented by killing insects
    D．be prevented by improving the growing conditions
    小题5:Which of the following won’t cause plant disease ?

    阅读理解下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，指出能完成所给句子或回答所提问题的最佳答案。
    Astronomy (天文学) is the oldest science known to man. Thousands of years ago man looked at the stars and wondered about heavens (天堂). But the six planets that he could see with his eyes alone limited man.
    The Greeks studied astronomy over 2,000 years ago. They could see the size, color, and brightness of a star. They could see its place in the sky. They watched the stars move as the seasons changed. But the Greeks had no tools to help themselves study the heavens.
    Each new tool added to the field of astronomy helped man reach out into space. Until there were telescopes (望远镜), man did not know much about the moon. He did not know that the planet called Saturn (土星) had rings around it. His sight was so limited that he could not see all the planets. In the early 1700s, people thought there were only six planets. Pluto (冥王星), the last of the nine planets to be discovered was seen until 1930.
    Before the spectroscopes (分光镜), man didn’t know what kind of gas was in the sun or other stars, without radio telescopes (射电望远镜), we did not know that radio noise came from far in space.
    Today, astronomy is a growing science. We have learned more in the past fifty years than in the whole history of astronomy.
    1Thousands of years ago, man watched ____ with his eyes.
    A. the moon       B. the stars         C. the universe    D. all the planets
    2 When the Greeks watched the stars, they could ____ .
    A. know what the stars were made of     B. not see their places in the sky
    C. help themselves study the heavens     D. watch the stars move as the seasons changed
    3Until there were ____ , man knew very little about the moon.
    A. telescopes      B. spectroscopes C. radio telescopes   D. spaceships
    3People didn’t know about Pluto until ____ .
    A. the 1700s      B. 2,000 years ago   C. 1930             D. thousands of years ago
    5____ people began to do research on astronomy.
    A. 50 years ago  B. 90 years ago  C. In the early 1700s      D. Over 2,000 years ago

    Talking to plants makes them grow, especially if you ‘re a woman ,according to an experiment by the Ryal  Horticultural Society(RHS皇家园艺学会).
    Women gardeners’ voices speed up growth of tomato plants much more than men’s, it found.
    In an experiment that ran over a month, they found that tomato plants grew up  two inches taller if they were serenaded by the sweet tones of a female rather tha a male.
    Appropriately the most effective talk came from Sarah Darwin ,whose great-great grandfather was legendary botanist(植物学家)Charles Darwin, one of the founding fathers of the RHS’ Scientific Committee. She read a passage from On the Orgin of Species and beat nine other”voices”.
    Her plant grew nearly two inches taller than the best performing male and half an inch higher than her nearest competitor.
    The experment began in Apirl,2009 at RHS Garden Wisley in Surrey. A variety of recorded voices were picked to play to 10 taomato plants over a month. Every plant was played a voice through headphones connected to the plant pot, and the conditions for all the plants remained the same throughout the experiment. To ensure the experiment was fair, two control plants were also left to grow in silence.
    The results showed that women on average saw their plants rise by an inch on their male competitors. Some men were so bad that their plants actually grew less than a plant that was left completely alone.
    Colin Crosbie, the leader at RHS, said:”We’re not sure why the female voice is more effecitive, It could be that they have a greater range of pitch and tone that affects the sound waves that hit the plant. Sound waves are an emvironmental effect just like rain or light.”
    67.What is the best title for the passage?
    A. Plants can’t grow faster without female voices
    B. Women’s voices are more useful than men’s
    C. Women’s voices make plants grow faster
    D. Voices have positive effects on the growth of plants
    68.The underlined word”serenaded” in Paragraph 3 most probably means”________”.
    A.sung songs to
    B.spoken to
    C.talked about
    D. played music to
    69.According to the passage, ten_________were used in the experiment.
    A.tomato plants
    B.headphones
    C. tape recorders
    D.plant pots
    70.What can we know about the findings of the experiment from the passage?
    A. The women’s voices made the palnts grow faster by half an inch than the men’s.
    B.Sarah Darwin’s plant grew 2 inches taller than her neraest competitor’s.
    C. The plants which grew in silence did not necessarily grow the slowest
    D. The women’s plants grew 2 inches taller than the men’s on average.

    A teenager says he convinced the White House that he was Iceland’ s president and managed to schedule a call with George W.Bush , but was found out before he got to talk to the US president.
    “My call was transferred around a few times until I got hold of Bush’s secretary and managed to book a call meeting with Bush the following Monday evening ,” Vifill Atlaso, 16, told Reuters.
    Several Icelandic police turned up at his door two days later---the day of the planned call---and took him in for questioning.
    “They told me the CIA had called the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and asked if the police could try and find out where I received that phone number from,” said Atlason.
    The teenager said he was unable to recall where he had discovered the telephone number of the White House.
    “I know I’v had it on my phone card for at least four years now and that an Icelandic friend gave it to me, but I don’t remember who,”he said.
    At a White House news conference on Monday, Bush’s spokeswoman Dana Perino said her understanding was that Atlason had called a public line “that anybody can call”, according to a transcript(记录).
    Jon Buartmarz, Chief Superintendent at Iceland’s national police headquarters, said Icelandic police had not spoken to their US counterparts about the matter. He declinced(拒绝) to say how police were tipped off (通告) about Atlason’s call.
    “As far as we’re concerned, there will not be any further investigation, and I don’t know if the American government is taking any action because of this,”he said.
    1.According to the passage, when did Atlason call the White House ?
    A.On Friday      B. On Saturday     C. On Sunday    D. On Monday
    2.What does the underlined “it ”refer to ?
    A.The telephone number of the White House.
    B.The telephone number of his friend.
    C.A White House news conference .
    D.CIA
    3.How did Atlason get the telephone number of the White House ?
    A.From a newspaper   
    B.From Bush’s secertary
    C.From an Icelandic friend  
    D.By calling the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police.
    4.What is the main idea of the article ?
    A.An Icelandic teenager tricks the the White House
    B.CIA found out the truth of a trick.

    D.The telephone number of the Whiite House is known by public.

    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。
    When I stepped out the plane from Miami into Charlotte, North Carolina, airport for a connecting flight home, I immediately knew something was wrong. Lots of desperate people crowded the terminal. I quickly learned that flights headed to the Northeast were called off because of a storm. The earliest they could get us out of Charlotte was Tuesday. It was Friday. A gate agent stood on the counter and shouted, “Don’t ask us for help! We cannot help you!”
    I joined a crowd that ran from terminal to terminal in search of a flight out. Eventually, I found six strangers willing to rent a van with me. We drove through the night to Washington, where I took a train the rest of the way to Providence.
    The real problem, of course, is that incidents like this happen every day, to everyone who flies, more and more often. It really gets to me, though, because for eight years I was on the other side, as a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines (TWA).
    I know the days are gone when attendants could be written up if we did not put the lines napkins with the TWA logo in the lower right-hand corner of the first-class diners’ trays. As are the days when there were three dinner options on flights from Boston to Los Angeles in economy class. When, once, stuck on a tarmac（机场停机坪）in Newark for four hours, a planeload of passengers got McDonald’s hamburgers and fries by thoughtfulness of the airline.  
    I have experienced the decline of service along with the rest of the flying public. But I believe everything will change little by little, because I remember the days when to fly was to soar (翱翔). The airlines, and their employees, took pride in how their passengers were treated. And I think the days are sure to come back one day in the near future.
    1..Many people crowded the terminal because ________.
    A. they were ready to board on the planes     
    B. something was wrong with the terminal
    C. the flights to the Northeast were canceled    
    D. the gate agent wouldn’t help the passengers
    2. How did the writer get to Providence at last?
    A. by air                    B. by van                
    C. by train                     D. by underground
    3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A. Incidents happened to those who fly quite often.
    B. The writer used to be a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines.
    C. Even a small mistake might cause complaints from passengers in the past.
    D. McDonald’s hamburgers and fries were among regular dinner options. 
    4. What can be implied from the passage?
    A. The writer lived in Charlotte, North Carolina.
    B. The writer thought the service was not as good as it used to be.
    C. The writer with other passengers waited to be picked up patiently.
    D. Passengers would feel proud of how they were treated on the plane.

    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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑
    For most Chinese university students, the US is a favorite destination for further education. But apart from obstacles such as the GRE and TOEFL exams, choosing a good graduate school is no easy task.
    Admission is very competitive for international students, so it is important to apply for a number of institutions to have a reasonable chance of acceptance.
    Since the application to most universities requires a certain fee, Chinese students usually choose seven to 17 universities according to their own financial circumstances.
    Wang Yuwei, a Zhejiang University graduate, sent applications to 15 US universities.
    When the 24-year-old girl began looking for a US graduate school in her senior year, she took time to compare the various schools and find the ones most suiting her needs. Now, studying at the University of Washington, she knows that her hard work paid off.
    “To broaden your chances, at least one third of the applications should be to less selective schools,” said Wang. “Applicants shouldn’t limit their choices to the most famous institutions.”
    Furthermore, one shouldn’t rely on too much on college rankings such as the Gorman Report or US News & World Report’s annual league tables.
    The right school is the one that best meets your own personal needs and interests, rather than someone else’s assessment of an institution’s prestige（声望）.
    “Usually choices are based on one’s personal interests and academic background, but it is important to make sure that your chosen subject is satisfying,” said Wang.  
    1. The author believes that the right school is the one that _____.
    A. has the best location
    B. offers good living conditions
    C. best meets one’s assessment of an institution’s prestige
    D. best meets one’s own personal needs and interests
    2. According to this passage, what can we judge?
    A. To go abroad for further education, you must pass the GRE or TOTEL.
    B. Choosing a good graduate school is a piece of cake.
    C. More and more students will go abroad for their further education.
    D. To get a better chance to go abroad, you’d better apply for a less selective school.
    3. In the passage the writer uses the example of Wang Yuwei to show ______.
    A. you must spend a lot of time comparing the various schools
    B. it is necessary to find the suitable university that meets your personal interests
    C. it isn’t worthwhile to spend time looking for the right university
    D. one’s own financial circumstances is worth considering
    4. What will be continued after this passage?
    A. How hard Chinese students studied in America.
    B. Some advice on how to take care of yourself in America.
    C. Some other things to consider to choose the right school.
    D. The difficulties you will meet with while living in America

    There is no doubt that adults, and even highly educated adults, vary greatly in the speed and efficiency of their reading. Some proceed very lowly throughout; others dash along too quickly and then have to regress. Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it. A good reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. He may be able to skim a page, picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of what the text is about without really reading it. In reading more difficult material, with the intention of taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages, perhaps re-reading them several times and pass more quickly over the remainder. A less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads. Consequently, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly. But this pace may be too fast for really difficult material which requires special concentration at difficult points.
    A type of reading which necessitates(需要) careful attention to detail is proofreading, in which the reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text. This is extremely difficult for most people, since they are accustomed to overlooking such details. In fact, considerable practice is required to practise this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying comparatively little attention to the general meaning of the text.
    68．This article is mainly concerned with ________.
    A．the ability to read fast      
    B．difference in the speed and efficiency of reading
    C．different reading skills      
    D．the reading speed of highly educated adults
    69．According to the article, there is a difference in reading speed ________.
    A．among adult readers
    B．among young educated people
    C．among readers who have different experiences
    D．between the poorly educated and the highly educated
    70．The underlined word "regress" can be best replaced by "________".
    A．regret         B．stop   C．move slowly       D．go back
    71．The author believes a good reader should ________.
    A．always read at great speed      
    B．read carefully and catch every detail
    C．always review the text he has read 
    D．change his speed according to the type of text
