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。

A

It has been half a century since NASA, the US space agency, was created at the height of the Cold War. Then it sought to prove its superiority by winning the race to the moon. Now in the 21st century it had a new rival in the space race-China.

NASA remains a leader in space exploration. It hopes its latest Constellation (星座)program will maintain its dominance by putting Americans back on the moon by 2020. NASA intends to use this as a base to travel to Mars and beyond.

This new wave of space exploration envisages(想象) manned colonies of astronauts living and working on the moon. It was drawn up in the wake of the Columbia tragedy in 2003, which killed seven when the shuttle disintegrated upon re- entry.

That tragedy stunned the whole world, with a US official investigation blaming the aging space shuttle. Six months after the Columbia accident, President George W. Bush outlined a new vision for space exploration, paving the way for the Constellation program. The program plans on carrying four astronauts to the moon at a time.

A new spacecraft, Orion, will be used for these missions. It will also fly to the International Space Station (ISS), but will not be operational until 2015.

Once the ISS is complete, the flights of the three aging space shuttles will be stopped. However, this is scheduled for 2010, leaving a five-year gap until Orion’s launch.

During those five years, the US will depend on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft to transport astronauts to the ISS.

Cooperation between Washington and Moscow could be troublesome, especially in the wake of the recent crisis in Georgia.

In comments intended for Congress in March, NASA administrator Michael Griffin, expressed concern at the future.

“A Chinese landing on the moon prior to our own return will create a perception that the US lags behind not only Russia but also China in space,” he wrote in an internal e-mail leaked recently to the media.

To the question of whether China could be a partner with NASA in a future moon mission, Griffin remained optimistic: “Yes, it’s absolutely possible to see China as part of a return to the moon, a joint effort to return to the moon.”

56. The underlined word “stunned” in paragraph 4 can be replaced by “_____”.

  A. stopped                   B. shocked                 C. seized                    D. saved

57. Spaceship Columbia was destroyed _____.

  A. when it returned to earth

  B. because spacemen conducted wrong orders

  C. because it was old and not kept well by the engineers

  D. as it was sent up into space

58. From this passage, it is inferred that _____.

  A. The International space station is under way

  B. Columbia tradedy was blamed on its old space shuttle

  C. There’re no rivals against NASA

  D. Through all the constellation’ program, NASA is only scheduled to use their own space shuttles

59. Which is the best title for this passage?

  A. NASA’s space Exploration is grounded because of Columbia tragedy

  B. China is the biggest rival (对手) to the USA

  C. China, a new rival in space race

  D. NASA’s Constellation’ program to reach beyond the moon

B

Why did humans evolve to walk upright? Perhaps because it’s a just plain easier. Make that “energetically less costly”, in science-speak.

Bipedalism―walking on two feet―is one of the defining characteristics of being human, and scientists have debated for years how it came about. In the latest attempt to find an explanation, researchers trained five chimpanzees (黑猩猩) to walk on a treadmill (跑步机) while wearing masks that allowed measurement of their oxygen consumption. The chimps were measured both while walking upright and while moving on their legs and knuckles (肘). That measurement of the energy needed to move around was compared with similar tests on humans and the results are published in this week’s on-line edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

It turns out that humans walking on two legs use only one-quarter of the energy that chimpanzees use while knuckle-walking on four limbs. And the chimps, on average, use as much energy using two legs as they did when they used all four limbs.

However, there were differences among chimpanzees in how much energy they used, and these differences corresponded to their different gaits (步法) and anatomy (解剖学特征). One of the chimps used less energy on two legs, one used about the same and the others used more, said David Raichlen, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Arizona.

“What we were surprised at was the variation (变异),” he said in a telephone interview. “That was pretty exciting, because when you talk about how evolution works, variation is the bottom line, without variation there is no evolution.”

“Walking on two legs freed our arms, opening the door to manipulating (主宰) the world,” Raichlen said. “We think about the evolution of bepedalism as one of the first events that led hominids (原始人) down the path to being human.”

The research was supported the National Science Foundation and L. S. B. Leakey Foundation.

60. The underlined word “Bipedalism” means _____.

  A. moving sideways                                 B. walking upright

  C. walking on four legs                            D. running fast

61. We can infer that _____.

  A. scientists have no idea on how human walking on two legs came about

  B. scientists have had different views on why chimpanzees walk on four legs

  C. scientists have had different views on how human walking on two legs came about

  D. scientists have had similar views on how human walking on two legs came about

62. What does the fourth paragraph mainly deal with?

  A. How did chimpanzees save energy              

B. Why didn’t chimpanzees walk on two legs

C. David Raichlen researched into chimpanzees

D. Different chimpanzees consume different energy

63. According to the passage, humans walk upright in order to _____.

  A. conserve energy                                 B. differ from other animals

  C. free their brains                             D. strengthen their legs

C

“It’s my morning at the zoo,”said Maurice, “would you like to come? We’ll have a look at that lion cub and see how he’s getting on in his new surroundings.”

“You mean the one that was brought into the surgery a few weeks ago?”

“Yes.”

I settled myself in the car and, as we drove away, I thought back to a morning when a man had come in with a lion cub pulling on a heavy chain. Smiling proudly at our astonished faces, he said, “Grand little chap, isn’t he? Only twelve weeks old and tough as they come. I got him through an advertisement in the newspaper. My little girl is delighted and simply loves him but he’s a bit rough when he gets excited. He’ll be safer for her to play with when you’ve dealt with him.”

I looked up in surprise and Maurice asked, ‘What do you mean by “dealt with him”?’

“Well, when you’ve filed down his teeth and taken out his claws.”Picking up the cub, the man held him out to Maurice. “The people I bought him from said this was the thing to do.”

“They did, did they?’”Maurice’s face was solemn as he rubbed the little animal under the chin. “And how long will you keep him? Nine months? A year?”

“Oh, when he gets too big for us he’ll have to go into a zoo. But we’ll give him a good time while he’s little and then, of course, he’ll want to be with his own kind. We’ll visit him regularly, though. We’re great animal lovers, you understand.”

Maurice nodded, put the cub on the floor, pulled up a chair for the man and sat down himself. “I think,”he said, “that you have been misled. I wouldn’t dream of hurting a wild animal like that and I don’t know any other vet who would do it either. You say you will give him to a zoo when he get too big but with no claws he couldn’t be put in with other lions--he’d have no means of self-defence and he’d be killed. So he would have to be kept on his own. So he wouldn’t have much of a life, would he? In fact, it would be very difficult to find a zoo--a good one anyway--that would take him.”

The man shook his head. “I never thought of it like that.” He paused, then, bending down, he pushed the cub away from his chair.

There was a tiny roar, the cub’s lips curled back and he stared up with angry eyes. His owner lifted him and held him tightly in his arms. Then he said helplessly, ‘But what on earth am I to do with him? What do you advise?’

“He obviously can’t play with your little daughter,”said Maurice. “He’s quite fierce already. And it won’t be easy to get a zoo to take him. Most of them have enough cubs as it is. They’re almost two a penny, but, if you like…”

“Two a penny? Good God! I paid a hundred pounds for him!”

There was a long silence. “So I’ve been “done”, have I?” The man stared down at his cub.

Maurice nodded. “I’m afraid so. Unfortunately there are lots of dishonest people about who are profiting from this fashion for exotic pets.”

The man frowned. “Exotic pets? Well, yes, I suppose you’re right. It’s rather nice to cause a bit of a sensation with something out of the ordinary.”

“If you like,” said Maurice slowly, “I’ll ask the manager of our local zoo if he can fit this little one in with some cubs who are being raised on the bottle. They’re roughly the same age and he would probably be accepted.”

And so it turned out.

68. Why did Maurice go to the zoo?

  A. to see the lion cub                              B. he wanted to take his friend

  C. to see the new surroundings                     D. he had work to do there

69. Why did Maurice refuse to take out the cub’s claws?

  A. The man wanted to give it to a zoo

  B. It could not protect itself against other lions

  C. He didn’t know how to do it

  D. It was too small to have its claws removed

70. Why did Maurice think it would be hard to find a zoo that would take the cub?

  A. The cub was too aggressive                      B. Most zoos are overcrowded

  C. Most zoos don’t need more lion cubs             D. The cub was not worth very much

71. The man was shocked and said “Good God!” because_____.

  A. he had thought he would easily be able to find a zoo

  B. Maurice had discovered his real reasons for buying the lion

  C. he realised he had been tricked into paying too much for the lion

  D. Maurice had explained that his daughter wouldn’t be able to play with the lion

There are many groups of people. They were called Angles, Saxons and Jutes. Their language, old English, is like some of the Modern language of Northwest Europe. In old English the endings had many meanings. They showed past time and present time and many other things.

书面表达：

Should the system be changed?

In response to the proposal of cancelling the merit students selection, people’s opinions differ.

Some people think that with the increasingly fierce competition, more and more talented youths are needed. Only one single standard for judging good students may discourage the students from growing in different ways. It is also against the advocation of pioneering spirit. Others, however, say adolencents can’t grow up without models, and merit students represent diligence and adolescents excellence. To the students academic excellence comes first.

In my view, times are different and the criteria should be changed to a degree because the job market demands large numbers of personnel with practical ability and skills. As a standard, it will encourage students to explore their potentials and develep their ability to think and solve problems independently, which is the basis of education.
