第三部分： 阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)

第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。

If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.

Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.

The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.

The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.

With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.

In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?

56. While taking a taxi in Finland, a passenger __________.

A. can go anywhere without having to pay the driver

B. only pays two US dollars for a taxi ride

      C. can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go

       D. needs to provide good faith demonstration before leaving without paying

57．We can know from the passage that in Finland __________.

      A. both hotel guests and outside diners are served food free of charge

      B. big hotels provide meals for all kinds of diners

      C. guests can enjoy free food once they stayed in the hotel

      D. big hotels are mostly poorly managed

58. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Generally speaking, in Finland, workers can get more pay by working long hours.

       B. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.

      C. The workers are always honest with their working hours.

       D. The bosses are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.

59. It can be concluded that _________.

      A. Finnish people are really foolish in daily life

      B. Finland has been a good place for cheats

      C. the Finnish society is of very high moral level

      D. all the Finns are rich and therefore honest

Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life.

Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades.

“We’ve been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we try and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels. And we’ve been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean.”

Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.

“As carbon dioxide dissolves (溶解) in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid (酸), carbonic acid, ” Dore explains. “And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, and makes it more acidic.”

The seawater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts.

The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.

“It’s important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. It’s potentially catastrophic.”

68. What can be the best title of the passage?

A. Sea Life Facing Danger         B. Scientist Researching Seawater

b. CO2 goes into the surface water.

c. The ocean chemistry is affected.                  

d. CO2 decreases the pH and makes the seawater more acidic.

e. CO2 levels in the atmosphere go up.

A. a→b→c→d→e            B. e→b→c→d→a

C. a→e→c→d→b            D. e→d→c→b→a
