第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
Ann was on her first package trip in Rosas, Spain.
At the hotel, she checked in, and then went to her room to change before dinner. She was just ready to go downstairs when she found that her Spanish money wasn’t in her handbag. She carefully looked in all her luggage, but she couldn’t find it. All she had was a small purse with ten English pound notes in it!
Ann found a place to change her English money. She had very few pesetas (西班牙货币单位), and she would be here for two weeks. On her way back to the hotel, Ann bought some cheese, some bread and some oranges. When she got back, she told the manager that her doctor had told her not to eat Spanish food; she’d just have breakfast each day, as she knew the price of hotels included breakfast.
For the rest of her holiday, Ann swam in the hotel swimming pool, or lay on the beach and got a sunbath. When the other tourists went to interesting places, she always said she wasn’t well. In fact, her holiday wasn’t bad, except that she was always hungry. After all, a piece of fruit for lunch, and bread and cheese for supper isn’t very much ...
Late in the afternoon of their last day, a girl, Jane, asked her why she never ate with them in the hotel restaurant. Ann told her about her money problems. Jane looked at her for a minute, and then said, “But didn’t you know? The price of this holiday includes everything!”
56. “A package trip” probably means ________.
A. a free trip

A. she was afraid that she couldn’t pay for them with her little money
B. her doctor told her not to eat them
C. she wasn’t well
D. she wasn’t hungry
58. Why did Ann buy some cheese, some bread and some oranges?
A. Because they were good for her health.
B. Because she planned to eat them instead of lunch and supper.
C. Because she liked them more than dinners in the hotel restaurant.
D. Because she is afraid that she couldn’t eat enough in the hotel restaurant.

A. Angry. B. Happy. C. Surprised. D. Excited.

Death Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.
Long ago the Indians called this place “Tomesha”— the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been called a National Monument (遗迹) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has scarcely (几乎没有) ruined the special beauty of this place.
Here nature created a lot of surprising sights, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent (频繁的) wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and changeable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures (沙雕) stand on a frightening ground as evening shadows move and lengthen.
60. According to the first paragraph, ______ is the lowest place in the United States.
A. Tomesha B. Death Valley
C. Nevada D. Badwater
61. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. no one had ever known the desert before the miners
B. it’s still not easy to travel across the desert
C. people can now find gas-stations, cafes and hotels in the desert
D. people have greatly changed the natural sight of the desert
62. Devil Golf Course is famous for _______.
A. the frequent wind B. the colors of the sand
C. dream-like sights D. the sand sculptures
63. From the passage we can see that the writer _______ the Death Valley.
A. appreciates B. is fearful of
C. dislikes D. is tired of
C
How much paper do you use every year? Perhaps you can’t answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person in a year. Now some countries use as much as 100 kilograms of paper for each person in a year. The amount of paper a country uses shows how far advanced the country is, some people say. It is difficult to say whether this is true: different people mean different things by the word “advanced”. But countries like the United States, England and Sweden certainly use more paper than other countries.
Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400.
The Chinese first made paper about 2,000 years ago. China still has pieces of paper which were made as long ago as that. But Chinese paper was not made from the wood of trees. It was made from the hairlike parts of certain plants.
Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100. Scandinavia — which now makes a great deal of the world’s paper — did not begin to make it until 1500. It was a German named Schaeffer who found out that trees could be made into the best paper. After that, the forest countries of Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the United States became the most important in paper making. Today in Finland, which makes the best paper in the world, the paper industry is the biggest in the land.
64. The underlined word “advanced” in the first paragraph probably means ________.
A. big B. small C. developed D. beautiful
65. Paper was first made in ________.
A. China B. Egypt
C. the West D. southern Europe
66. The man who first made paper from trees was a (an) ___.
A. Chinese B. Egyptian
C. Canadian D. German
67. Which country makes the best paper in the world today?
A. Canada. B. Finland.
C. Sweden. D. Norway.
D
“After four days in hospital, a 35-year-old woman died of bird flu in the western part of Indonesia on Tuesday, raising the country’s deaths to 57, and the source of infection (传染) was still unknown,” a senior health ministry official said.
The H5N1 virus has killed at least 153 people worldwide since it began hitting Asian poultry (家禽) in late 2003, according to the World Health Organization, with over a third of the human deaths in Indonesia.
Most of those killed have been infected by house-kept poultry, but WHO fears the virus could turn into a form that easily spreads among humans, causing a nationwide disease with the possibility to kill millions.
Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous (人口稠密的) country and home to millions of backyard chickens, is looked upon as a possible hot place for that to happen.
The government came under fire for moving slowly to get rid of the virus when it first appeared in chickens and ducks, but has worked hard in recent months to make the public know about the dangers of bird flu.
It has also increased vaccinations (接种疫苗) and killing of birds in infected areas. But no one knows whether the action will work. After all, bird flu has been there for more than two years and killed so many people.
68. This passage probably appears on the ________ page of a newspaper.
A. sports B. entertainment
C. health and life D. travel
69. The underlined part “came under fire” in Paragraph 5 probably means _________.
A. caught fire B. became angry
C. got criticized (批评) D. was warm
70. Since late 2003, the H5N1 virus has killed more than 50 people ________.
A. in Indonesia B. in Asia
C. all over the world D. in Europe
71. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Millions of people in Indonesia will be killed by the H5N1 virus.
B. Indonesia is a hot place for bird flu to happen because it has a big population of humans and chickens.
C. The government of Indonesia didn’t do anything against bird flu.
D. The source of inflection that killed the 35-year-old woman was a bird.

A person who is deaf when he is born is usually dumb (哑的) as well. There may be nothing wrong with his mouth and tongue, but he cannot speak. This is because he cannot hear people, so he has nothing to imitate (模仿). He may try to make sounds himself, but cannot hear his own voice. However, even though he finds it difficult to speak and cannot hear, he can learn to read. Nowadays such persons can also be taught to speak because we have modern methods and equipment, but we did not have these when Helen Keller was born.
Even with modern methods and equipment, however, it is not easy for deaf children to learn to speak, though most of them succeed. When a child is deaf and blind as well, it becomes much more difficult, though it is possible. Helen Keller was born in 1880. She became very ill at the age of nineteen months. Medical knowledge was not as great then as it is now. She did not die but lost her sight and hearing. As a result, she became dumb as well. Her parents did their best to teach her, but she couldn’t speak by the age of six.
Then, in 1887, a teacher, Miss Sullivan, came to live with her. Miss Sullivan herself had been blind. She had been partly cured. Though she could not see very well, she was not blind. Helen was a difficult pupil at first, but in a month Helen had learned how to understand signs and how to make them herself. At last in spite of her great difficulties, Helen learned to read, write and speak, even though she was deaf and blind. She even went to college and had full education. She wrote many books, and though other people have written books about her, her own books are the ones that best explain how it feels to be deaf, dumb and blind. Her best book is The Story of My Life. Perhaps you have read it. Though it was written in 1902, it is still a very interesting book. Even if you have not read it, you may have heard of Helen Keller.
72. A person who is deaf at birth is also dumb because ___.
A. there’s something wrong with his mouth and tongue
B. he cannot hear other people and he has nothing to imitate
C. he doesn’t like to speak
D. he cannot hear his own voice
73. Deaf and dumb children can be taught to speak nowadays because ________.
A. we have modern methods and equipment
B. these children are eager to learn to speak
C. they can hear something
D. they have grown up
74. When Helen was nineteen months old, _______.
A. she died of illness
B. she was healthy
C. she was very ill
D. she began to learn to speak
75. How long did it take Keller to understand signs?
A. A few days. B. Several years.
C. A moment. D. A month.

In the 18th century, cities became larger and larger. People moved from the countryside and small towns to the cities because there was more work for them to do in the cities. On Sundays and holidays, they liked to leave the cities and had a good time in the countryside. But not every family had a horse. People wanted and needed something else to send them there. So bicycles were invented.
The first bicycle, which was very simple, appeared in 1790. People called it “the horse on wheels”. Then in 1861, after many improvements, bicycles became popular.
People liked bicycles because they weren’t as expensive as horses. They didn’t have to feed them and everyone could ride — men and women, boys and girls.
