第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分）
第一节 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
The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.
Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.
56. _______, our world is becoming much smaller.
A. Because of the rise in pollution
B. Thanks to science development
C. Because the earth is being polluted day and night
D. Because the earth is blown away by the wind every year
57. Hundreds of years ago, life was __________ it is today.
A. much easier than B. as easy as C. much harder than D. as hard as
58. Pollution comes in many ways. We can even hear it. Here “it” means _______.
A. rubbish(垃圾) B. noise pollution C. air pollution D. water pollution
59. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution because _______.
A. it makes much noise B. it makes us angry more easily
C. it makes our rivers and lakes dirty D. it’s bad for all living things in the world
B
Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.
Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test --- unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school. @考@资@A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解决办法) together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.
60. The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _______.
A. it is unfair to other people B. it does harm to their heath
C. teachers should punish them D. teachers shouldn’t stop them at once
61. Some students like cheating mainly because_________.
A. the material in the test is very difficult B. they want to do better
than the others
C. cheating can make hard things seem very easy D. they have little time to study their lessons
62. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.
A. cheating isn’t a good idea B. why kids cheat in the test
C. some kids can’t pass the test without cheating D. some kids don’t spend the time studying
63. In the passage those cheaters are advised to_______.
A. spend more time on school than on sports
B. find good solutions instead of cheating
C. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazy
D. ask their classmates for good methods of study@
C
Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.
Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.
No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he/she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.
Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.
64. What is the hand used to do for most people?
A. It’s used to find or hold things.
B. It’s used to work with things.
C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.
D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.
65. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.
B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.
C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.
D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.
66. The best title for this passage is _______.
A. Scientists’ New Inventions B. Left-handed People
C. Which Hand D. Different Brains, Different Hands
D
Once upon a time a man became a great archer(射手). He asked the king to declare him as the greatest archer of the country. The king was about to do so when an old servant of the king said, “Wait, sir. I know an old man who lives in the forest. He is a much greater archer. Let this young man go to him and learn from him for at least three years.”
The man could not believe that there could be a greater archer than him, but he went and found the old man and he was! For three years he learned from him. Then one day, when he thought he had learned everything, the thought arose in him: “If I kill this old man, then I will be the greatest archer.”
The old man had gone to cut wood and he was coming back carrying wood on his shoulder. The young man hid behind a tree, waiting to kill him. He shot an arrow. The old man took a small piece of wood and threw it. It struck the arrow and the arrow turned back and wounded the young man very deeply. The old man came, took out the arrow and said,” I knew that some day or other you were going to do this. That’s why I have not taught you this secret. There is no need to kill me. My master is still alive, and I’m nothing before him. You must be with him for at least thirty years. And he is very old, so go fast! Find the old man!”
67. The underlined word in the 1st paragraph is closest in meaning to “_______”.
A. admire B. advise C. announce D. admit
68. The young archer wanted to kill the old man because _______.
A. he had nothing more to learn from him
B. he could then become the greatest archer
C. the old man refused to teach him everything
D. the king’s old servant ordered him to do so
69. What do you think would most probably happen next?
A. The young archer died from the wound soon after.
B. The king declared the young man the greatest archer.
C. The young archer found the old man’s master and killed him.
D. The young archer set off to look for the old man’s master.
70．What lesson can you learn from the story?
A. There’s always someone better than you in this world.
B. You must never try to become better than your teacher.
C. The older a man is，the better archer he usually becomes.
D. Always use a piece of wood to protect yourself from an arrow.

Italy and Spain are two beautiful countries where you can try your fortune. 74 Tourism is another industry in these countries, where English knowledge is useful.

Is daily homework necessary？
Recently our school students have had a discussion about whether it is necessary to have daily homework. Different students have different opinions.
Seventy percent of the students are willing to accept daily homework．They think homework helps them review and practice what has been taught in class．Besides，by doing daily homework, students can better understand their lessons．Furthermore，their skills in managing time can also be improved through homework．
However, thirty percent of the students have different opinions. They believe homework reduces their amount of leisure time with their families，not to mention the time for other activities．With a lot of homework to do，students feel tired，and will gradually lose interest in their lessons.
In my opinion, daily homework is necessary, but it must be fit for a student’s ability．Also，the amount of homework should be limited，for a student’s all-around development is more important than anything else in his or her life.
