第三部分：阅读理解(本大题共20小题,共30分).

SectionA.

Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choice marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

A lot of kids are getting online these days- sharing the data, talking about social issues, meeting adults as well as kids, and learning about other cultures. There seems to be everything on the network. Just like any other form of media ,the quality of this massive collection of information is unequal, and there is good information as well as rubbish. Networks hold great promise; however ,it is also home to people who mean to hurt others or use their technical knowledge to steal from them. Although many Web pages can teach kids useful things, there are some other sites waiting to tempt young people who are immature and easily affected.

By now, you may shake your head, but wait, let's try to put the problem into perspective. Generally it's safe for kids to use the internet. The number of sites considered harmful is between 1% and 3%, which shows about 4.5 million other sides are interesting and educational. Besides, to stop children from using these services just because crimes are being committed online would be like telling them not to attend to college because students may have accidents on campus. What can parents do to protect their children from those harmful sites? The simplest solution is the use of the program which block offensive sites. Such programs are set to screen out certain

words likely to appear on "unhealthy"sites, but many sites inappropriate to young people are clever at using words with double meanings that may appear harmless. What's more, not only do the programs fail to do the job satisfactorily, they also take away the decisive rule of parents in children's education. A child who downloads bad information or pictures can only be corrected by positive family influence. No filtering program is necessary for a child who has learned to say "no" to sites he knows are inappropriate for him.

Today, when children are exposed to technology at a young age, parents often find themselves lagging behind in computer skills. Surprisingly, this may be the key to your environment. What is better way to learn about the internet than to do so alongside your children? They will almost likely pick it up more quickly than you do, of course, but you will have the chance to see, and take pride in, your child at work. You may search for information that interests your child together with him and get to know the "friends" he has online, just as you would get to know his other friends. Thoughtful parents would combine supervision with communication, which is the best way to take advantage of the internet as a resource while protecting their children.

Follow their examples and have fun with kids on the Net.

51.According to a passage, is it wise for parents to keep their children away from the computer?Why?

A) No. Because there are also millions of sites which are interesting and educational.

B) No. Because their children have the right to use computer.

C)Yes.Because there are many rubbish sites which may hurt children.

D)Yes. Because children may become addicted to computer games.

52.In the last two paragraphs parents are advised to_________.

A) there are about the internet along with you.

B) watch their children while they are at work.

C) search for information for their children.

D)make friends with their children.

53.According to the article, the best way to protect children as well as take advantage of the internet is_________.

A) the use of the filtering programs.

B)parents' mastery of computers skills.

C)the combination of supervision and communication.

D)forbidding them to make friends on the internet.

54.Which of the following is closest, in minute to the underlying expression lagging behind.

A) hide behind B)run behind C)walk behind D) fall behind.

Passage Two

When you go to university should to study for a degree, you have decided to study professionally, rather than as an amateur;so being a student is now your profession for at least the next four years.

This involves a chance of attitude in many ways. Although the progress has been going on since you went to middle school, the biggest change is going to take place. Now, instead of taking several subjects, you have chosen one major subject because you find it interesting and worth exploring farther. This choice was yours. You also have the goal of getting a degree. The degree and the stages you have to pass through to achieve it give you motivation, even though it may become weak from time to time, and not all part of the course will be exciting; a sure way to lose interest is to do too little work.It is the law of the diminishing returns-the less work you do,the less

interest you will and the more bored you will become. So, regular work is needed to keep up your interest as well as to keep pace with new work.

Another change is in the relationship with teachers. This may well have changed during middle school and high school, but now, the whole contest is different. You're no longer forced to stay in school all day, and apart from your class time, you organize your own time and place for studying. You are there to study( an active process)rather than to be taught(passive). Your teachers may or may not urge you, but they do want you to share their interest in the subject, and they want you to succeed.

Some activities, like discussing and reading, are basic to studying. Make sure that you're doing these efficiently.

Group discussions give you a chance to train yourself to speak and discuss more effectively. They will fail in their purpose, if you keep silent- if you start of this way, the harder it will become to get out of the situation of being the non-speaking member of the group. In the future you are almost certainly going to have to be good at speaking, so get into the way of talking about your subject now. This is actually more fun than sitting being silently miserable because you're not saying anything.Nobody will think what you say is foolish. Every man will be thankful not to face awkward silence.

55.When does the person start to study professionally?

A) The time when he starts a profession.

B)The time when he goes to university.

C)That i'm tom he knows how to study.

D) The time when he goes to high school.

56.Which of the following is not unique to unversity?

A) Students have to choose one major subject.

B)The goal of study is to get a degree.

C)Students need to work hard.

D) Students organize their own time for studying.

57.University teachers________.

A) don't care about the students performance.

B)hope students can share their interest in the subject.

C)Force students to stay in school all day.

D) Know nothing about their students.

58.Who does the underlying the world they referred to.

A) University teachers.

B)Group discussions.

C)University students.

D) The topics of discussions.

Passage Three

When I first met Nina, I dislike her at once. She was wearing skintingt pedal pushers, a flashy, floppy top, and sneakers with no socks- bizarrely in appropriate even at our very informal company. Soon, Nina was doggedly pumping me for information about the new department I was running, where she hoped to get a permanent job. Not a chance I thought. Not if I have anything to say about it. However I didn't. Within a few days she was trying out for me. I gave her a moderately difficult, uninteresting and unimportant project that I didn't need for months. It took that long for her successor to put in order the mess she had made out of it. Although I couldn't have prediction

The servants were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow (暗淡的光) of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o'clock on the Sunday morning, the glow had become so bright that one of the servants, Jane, woke her master to see it. Pepys went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, so after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked as though the fire was dying down, though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them after the servants had cleaned everything. While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard that the fire was a bad one: three hundred houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed up on a high part of the building so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. Someone told him that the fire had started in a

World of the Future Scientists think that wonderful things may come true in the future. Future means a time that is not yet here. It can be a short time from now or a long time from now. Some of the underwater wonders are almost ready to come true now. Others won't come tree, we think, until a long time from now. Some, of course, may never come true--but who knows for sure? They may. What are some of the wonders that may come true in the future? A world underground The green utopia (an ideally perfect place) underground is going to help us regain a more harmonious relationship between the often opposing sides of large-scale development and our ecosystem. The city may be called Alice City, from Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland, which offers a wonderful world that is almost as fantastical as that was described in the book. A large clear dome (圆顶), within an area of open parkland, leads into a multi-leveled structured metropolis of underground offices, housing, transportation and public areas. There will be everything to make the city as self-sufficient as possible including shopping malls, theatres and sports complexes in addition to facilities (contained in a separate structure) for power generation, heating and waste recycling. Apart from offering an almost limitless space for development, such underground development has many more attractive ecological advantages over traditional forms of housing. It is less disturbing than high rise development and therefore favorable in environmentally sensitive areas. Land above the complex can be set aside for parkland and recreational use. In towns or cities where pollution levels are high, air can be filtered through air pipes in the roof of an underground housing or industrial complex. A world underwater At the docks you step into a shiny metal submarine that is shaped like a shark. The door is closed behind you, and powerful engine starts to push. Down slides the submarine--like a shark diving. Deeper and deeper under the water. Soon all sunlight is gone. The headlights of the diving ship are turned on. Then, six miles below, you come to the sea bottom. From the diving submarine, you change to tiny jet boat and ride along close to the bottom of the ocean, almost as you would skim over the land in an air-plane. As you travel, you have fun looking out the window at the sights on the bottom of the ocean. You see strange fish and underwater mountains, cliffs, and valleys. But more than that--hotels and mining camps and farms and factories! A world in space Let's go back to dry land and take a future journey the other way-up instead of down. Huge rocket liners take you into space to visit the Moon Camp. You walk around on the moon in a special moon suit. You visit an observatory where a giant telescope looks far into space--farther than anyone has ever been able to see from Earth. You go deep down into one of the moon mines. After you have visited the moon, you visit the Mars Colony and the Venus Exploration Outpost. A new world on the Earth Let's go back to Earth. In the far, far future, girls--and boys, too--may be playing with dolls that look like the people of the planets visited by our spacemen. To control or run all kinds of toys, boys and girls may learn to use special computers --machines that answer questions and do arithmetic faster than you can blink. Bicycles and perhaps skates may be run by jet power, and a new thing to ride may be a small flying saucer. Imagine a race between them! There may be telepathy (心灵感应) helmets that send thought waves from your brain to that of your friend miles away. You just think a thought and your friend knows it! You can have secrets with each other that nobody else can turn in on! Robots There will be other surprises in the future. How would you like to have a robot playmate? Having robot playmates may not be-so much fun as it seems. But maybe a boy with a wrench (扳手) and a screwdriver can fix the robot so that it won't be too perfect! Food What about the food of the future? Scientists think that much of it will be artificial --made in factories from such surprising things as coal, limestone, air, and water. You don't think that ice-cream or cake or candy or even bread and potatoes made out of these things will taste very good? You may be wrong. These artificial things will be blended so skillfully by food chemists that the food of the future probably will be delicious. It probably will also be healthful because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it. A longer life Scientists of the future will almost certainly find other ways to make life last longer. They probably will find cures for most diseases. Hospitals will probably have "body banks" that can give you almost any new part you need to keep on living. People of the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years. TV Are you wondering whether there'll be television in the future? There'll almost certainly be wonderful programs. Television screens probably will be large and flat, hanging on the wall or going across the four walls of a room. People on the screen will look as real as if they were right in the room with you. Highways What about highways of the future? Well, a very small child probably will be able to drive a car. Nobody will need to steer. Electric signals will hold each car on the right road to get wherever the "driver" wants to go. And it probably will be impossible for cars to smash together. Controls that won't even have to be touched will make all speeding cars miss each other or will put on the brakes. Driving by car will be as safe as being at home. Weather control But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future will be weather control. Cities may have giant plastic domes over them to keep out snow, rain, or storms. When you plan a picnic in a park, you won't have to worry about rain. It will rain only when the "weatherman" thinks it is needed to freshen the air inside the city. All other days will be fair and warm. The future should be a wonderful time in which to live. But the time you axe living in now was also "a wonderful future" to the people who lived 100 years ago. 1. The underground city would get its name from a book called Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland. A. Y B. N C. NG 2. The multi-leveled structure underground would include everything that is necessary to a city, from offices, shopping malls to power and heating system. A. Y B. N C. NG

Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Passage One Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: Animals react to the changing seasons with changes in mood and behavior and human beings are no exception. Most people find they eat and sleep slightly more in winter and dislike the dark mornings and short days. For some, however, symptoms (症状) are severe enough to damage their lives and to cause considerable stress. These people are suffering from SAD. The symptoms tend to start from around September each year lasting until April, but are at their worst in the darkest months. The standard figure says that around 2% of people in Northern Europe suffer badly, with many more (10%) putting up with milder symptoms. Across the world the incidence (发生率) increases with distance from the equator (赤道), except where there is snow on the ground, when it becomes less common. More women than men are found having SAD. Children and young people can also suffer from it. The problem stems from the lack of bright light in winter. Researchers have proved that bright light makes a difference to the brain chemistry, although the exact means by which sufferers are affected is not yet known. As the cause is lack of bright light, the treatment is to be in bright light every day by using a lightbox or a similar bright treatment. (Going to a brightly-lit climate, whether skiing or somewhere hot, is indeed a cure). The preferred level
