第三部分：阅读理解（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）中选出一个最佳选项。
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 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 a place, men moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad to all living things in the world, but it is not only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop the people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from blowing dirty smoke into the air.
The pollution of SO2 is now the most dangerous problem of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is certain 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 be careful of the rise in population at the same time.
56.Our world is becoming much smaller _____.
A. because the earth is being polluted day and night
B. because science is developing
C. because of the rise in population
D. because the earth is blown away by the wind every year
57.Thousands of years ago, life was _____ it is today.
A. much easier than B. as easy as
C. as hard as D. much harder than
58.Pollution comes in many ways. We can even hear it. Here “it” means ____.
A. water pollution B. air pollution
C. noise pollution D. rubbish
59.Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution because _____.
A. it’s bad to all living things in the world
B. it makes much noise
C. it has made our rivers and lakes dirty
D. it makes us become angry more easily
60.Which of the following is not true?
A. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.
B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world’s population does.
C. From now on, maybe people will try to go to work by bus or by bike instead of by car or by motorbike. It is helpful to fight against the problem of SO2 .
D. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people.
B
Islamabad, Pakistan, June 22nd—Two mountain climbers surprisingly survived a fall of over 500 feet on the 25530-foot mountain in Pakistan Saturday. The two climbers were climbing an ice-covered wall of the mountain when they suddenly lost their footing and fell about 560 feet to a narrow snow-covered ledge(悬崖突出部分) below. “We were lucky that ledge was there,” said the climbers. “Otherwise, we would have fallen over 2000 feet.” If the ledge had not been there, the two climbers would almost certainly have met their death. “It’s a wonder,” the climbers said, “that we landed on the ledge, and the snow was loose enough to cushion(缓冲) our fall. We are thankful that we survived.”
When a reporter asked them if they planned to give up mountain climbing after their narrow escape, the two climbers replied, “Not at all. We’ll be going back up there just as soon as we get out of the hospital.”

63.How high was the ledge from the foot of the mountain?

书面表达：
A recent survey shows what the students of our school like to do in their spare time. From the pie chart, we can see 53% of the students like sports, so doing sports is the most popular activity in our school. The second popular activity for students is surfing the Internet and 36 % of the students have interest in it. Only a few students, about 8 percent of them, take reading as a hobby. And even fewer are fond of playing musical instruments.
In my point of view, our school should have more sports facilities built to satisfy the need of the students. Guidance should be given to students on surfing the Internet and ways must be found to arouse students’ interests in reading and music.
