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、D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Britain was a rich country a hundred and fifty years ago. There were a few very rich people who received money from land or investment (投资), and did not need to work. They used to have large numbers of servants to look after them. There were also many middle-class people, who worked as businessmen or as doctors or lawyers. They usually had several servants to clean their houses and cook their meals. But there were also many poor people, and there was a big gap between the rich and the poor. The poor had very difficult lives. Many worked as servants. They used to be paid little, and they had to work long hours. But at least they lived in a warm house and were well fed.
Those who worked in factories were often less lucky. They used to work many hours a day, in dangerous and unhealthy conditions. But, even so, they did not use to earn enough to feed their families. They often lived in slums (贫民窟) which were built cheaply by the factory owners. The worst paid people were those who worked on the farms. At certain times of the year, they did not use to earn anything because there was no work for them to do.
Life for the poor was not always bad. There were kind farmers and factory owners who helped their workers. And many people cared for the poor. One of them was Charles Dickens, the famous British writer. When he was young, his family was always short of money. His father was a clerk, who used to spend more than he earned. When Dickens was eleven, his father was sent to prison; and Dickens had to work in a factory. At this time, very young children used to work in factories and mines (矿), and clean chimneys.
56. According to the passage, lawyers were middle-class people who ________.
A. used to be paid little B. used to have large numbers of servants
C. used to have several servants D. worked in dangerous and unhealthy conditions
57. Sometimes people working on the farm could not find work to do because _________.
A. it was not a busy season B. they were lazy
C. they could not work hard D. they asked for high pay
58. The reason why Dickens’ father was put into prison is ________.
A. that he stole things from a shop or a factory B. not mentioned in the passage
C. that he made much money D. that he was accused (指控) of killing
B
How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the US.
For some parents, the Internet seems like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides, some education and a few precautions (预防), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated (航行). “Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can’t be allowed to surf the Internet, we’re cutting them off from their future,” said an expert.
Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way would be to use what is known as a “content screener (过滤)”. But this can’t be wholly reliable（可靠）, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is Ok or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.
A few other tips:
●Don’t put the PC in a child’s room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.
●Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make on–line.
●Tell your child not to give on–line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.
●And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.
59. What is the main subject about the passage?
A. Opposing children’s going on-line. B. Internet in America.
C. American children going on-line. D. Appreciating the Internet.
60. Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A. Surfing the Internet is the best way of educating children.
B. Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having ways to the
Internet.
C. Searching engines can replace parents to select materials fit for them.
D. Children’s not having chances to go to the Internet may block their progress.
61. According to the passage, we can infer that ___________.
A. softwares fit for children want programming
B. the Internet contains a lot of harmful sites
C. the Internet will develop better
D. a child who is on-line is in danger
62. The best way to protect children from unsuitable materials is __________.
A. to install a content screener in the computer
B. to buy some search engines for the children
C. to talk to the children and persuade them to tell right from wrong
D. to be nearby when they are surfing the Internet
C
One of the greatest mysteries on Earth is the statues which stand on
Easter Island. Easter Island, which was almost uninhabited when it was
discovered on Easter Day in 1722 by a Dutch captain, is the most distant island
in the world covered with hundreds of giant statues, each weighing several tons
and some standing more than 30 feet tall.
Who built these statues and why and how did they get there? Nobody knows the answer for sure.
One theory suggests that Easter Island was first inhabited by Polynesians, who traveled thousands of miles in their canoes（独木舟）in 400 A.D. However, the ocean currents（洋流）which carried them there would not take them back, so that they could not leave.
The statues appear to have been made out of the top edge of the walls of a volcano on the island. Then, it may have been rolled or dragged down to the foot of the volcano. Then, it was stood upright（直立）and ropes were tied around it, which was made to act as a pulley（滑轮）. Over a period of months, a statue could be walked for miles down to the ocean. Finally, it was placed in line with other statues, all of them looking towards the center of the island.
This process was difficult. If a statue fell over, it was too heavy to be pulled upright again, so the islanders went back and carved another statue.
The population of Easter Island must have reached 11,000. Later, the resources of the island were used up and people began fighting and eating each other. Work on the statues stopped and the statues were knocked over. When the first Europeans finally arrived on the island, most of these people had died out.
63. This passage is mainly about ________ .
A. the discovery of Easter Island B. the statues on Easter Island
C. the history of Easter Islanders D. the earliest population on Easter Island
64. Which of the following correctly tells of the possible working process after a statue was made?
a. It was stood upright and ropes were tied around it.
b. It was walked for miles down to the ocean.
c. It was placed in line with other statues.
d. It was moved to the foot of the volcano.
A. c-d-a-b B. d-b-a-c C. a-c-b-d D. d-a-b-c
65. It’s not a fact that ________ .
A. Easter Island is the most distant island in the world
B. Easter is the name of a holiday
C. not all the statues were placed in a line
D. the island was once rich in natural resources
66. The underlined word uninhabited most probably means ________.
A. mysterious B. lost
C. unknown to the world D. with no people living there
D
Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their relaxation.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore (忽略), but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier (滑雪者) is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
67. The main difference between a sport and a game lies in ______ .
A. activity B. uniform C. rules D. skills
68. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because ________ .
A. mountaineers depend on each other while climbing B. teams compete against each other
C. it is an Olympic event D. there are five climbers on each team
69. Mountaineers compete against _______ .
A. each other B. nature
C. other teams D. international standards
70. Which of the following might be the best title?
A. How to Climb High Mountains B. Mountain Climbers
C. Challenging Sports Activities D. Mountaineering

第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world. In Sept.1923, Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. They had to be completely rebuilt. One of the most serious earthquakes was in China’s Shanxi Province in 1556. It killed almost one million people.
We measure an earthquake’s strength on the Richter scale. The Richter scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA. It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.
The earth’s crust (地壳) is made up of layers of rock called plates. As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake. In cities such as Tokyo, where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the earth moves, they move with it.
Earthquakes can also break up gas or oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.
Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis (海啸). These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea. They can be many metres high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities.
China, Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence (发生) of earthquakes in the world.

Taking Part in School Activities
Many students are very interested in school activities; they have their reasons. Firstly, they think that learning from textbooks is not their only task. They believe that they should take every chance to get some practical knowledge. Secondly, they think that after long hours of study, they can relax themselves by taking part in school activities.
However, a large group of students take little interest in them and spend most of their time on studies. First, they believe that they should make full use of time to study. Second, they feel that school activities have little to do with their further development.
In my opinion, I prefer the first view. On one hand, we can learn a great deal from other students we meet in activities. Besides, the modern society requires of young students many qualities, so only learning from textbooks is not enough.

Children’s education is changing very rapidly today. In the past, teachers made children sit still for hours. They made them memorize all sorts of things. In other words, the children had to go on repeating things until they knew them by heart. Today, many teachers wonder if it is possible to make children learn at all. They say you must let children learn and discover things by themselves.
But for some children, school is a kind of prison. They are there only because their parents make them go. They get out of the classroom as soon as the teacher lets them leave.
