三阅读理解

The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he puts in his album. In addition to learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts about engraving(雕刻), paper , and printing.

　Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists and artists , from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace(给…增光) the stamps of the world. Famous battles are often commemorated (纪念) , as well as buildings and scenes which have historical significance. Several of the world’s stamps are beautiful, full-color reproductions of the artistic master pieces of different historical periods.

Stamps also offer instruction in geography. It doesn’t take long before a beginning collector checks the locations of the countries from which his stamps come. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, and Afghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quite familiar to stamp collectors. Moreover, each country tries to use stamps to advertise its natural wonders. Such famous attractions as Yosemite National Park, Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, and the Bay of Fundy appear on the stamps of the nations within whose borders they lie.

If he wishes to become more of a specialist, the stamp collector can learn some basic things about engraving, paper, and printing. The more advanced collector learns to distinguish between offset（胶印） and letterpress（活版印刷） printing. He learns to identify the different impressions made by metal and wooden engraved plates. He finds out how to detect water marks in the various papers used for stamps, and how to identify the characteristics, different papers and the coatings（涂层） which are applied to them. To the laymen（外行人）, most stamps appear pretty much the same. But armed with magnifying（放大） glass, the more specialized collector can tell the difference between common issue and a rare variety.

36. Collecting stamps is a good way to ____.

　A. save money　　　　　　　　　 B. earn money　

C. develop a collector’s interests　　D. while away one’s spare time

37. Stamps offer instruction in ____.

　A. geography　B. history　C. painting　D. all of the above

38. Stamps enable a country to show its ____ to the outside world.

　A. natural resources　B. natural scenery　C. farming　D. latest inventions

39. As a collector progresses, and becomes specialized, he is able to ____.

　A. identify the techniques and art used in printing a stamp

　B. tell the designer of a stamp

　C. reproduce water marks in the papers used from stamps

　D. predict the future value of a stamp.

40. To tell the difference between a common issue and a rare variety, a collector needs ____.

　A. much knowledge of history　

B. more knowledge of history

C. more knowledge than what appears on stamps　

D. techniques to use a magnifying glass

　The temperature of the sun is over 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center. The sun is so much hotter than the earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core, that is, the center. In the core of the sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, in spite of the high temperature, there may be a small solid core. However, no one really knows, since the center of the sun can never be directly observed.

　Scientists do know that the sun is divided into five layers. Staring at the outside and going down into the sun, the layers are the corona, chromosphere, photosphere, convection zone, and finally the core. The first three layers are regarded as the sun’s atmosphere. But since the sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the body of the sun begins.

　The sun’s first layer from the outside begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles. This is the only part of the sun that can be seen during the eclipse such as　the one in March, 1997. at any other time, the corona can be seen only when special parts are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the burning light of the sun’s rays.

　The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at great speeds and reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets. By the time the sun’s rays reach the earth, they are weak and invisible.

41. There may be a solid core at the center of the sun ____.

　A because of the high temperature　　　　 B .in spite of the great pressures

C. for the temperature is not high enough　　D .because the pressures are great.

42. With what topic is the passage mainly concerned?

　A. How the sun developed　　　　　 B. The layers of the sun　

C. The high temperature of the sun　　D. The great pressures of the sun

43. All of the following are parts of the sun’s atmosphere except the ____.

　A. photosphere　B. corona　C. chromosphere　D. convection zone

44. According to the passage, as the corona rays reach the planets, they become ____.

　A. clearer　B. cooler　C. weaker　D .darker

45. The paragraph following the passage will probably discuss which of the following?

　A. The remaining layers of the sun　 B. The development of the present form　C .The rays from other planets D. The outer starts of the universe,

　Crime is a very serious problem in Britain. One sort of crime which particularly worries people is juvenile crimes — that is, crimes committed by young people. For some years juvenile crimes have been increasing. There are two main sorts of juvenile crimes: stealing and violence. Most people do not understand why young people commit these crimes. There are , I think, a large number of different reasons.

　These crimes are not usually committed by people who are poor or in need. Young people often dislike and hate the adult world. They will do things to show that they are rebels. Also in Britain today it is easier for young people to commit crimes because they have more freedom to go where they like and more money to do what they like.

　There are two other possible causes which are worth mentioning. More and more people in Britain live in large towns. In a large town no one knows who anyone else is or where they live. But in the village I come from crimes are rare because everybody knows everyone else.

　Although it is difficult to explain, I think the last cause is very important. Perhaps there is something with our society which encourages violence and crime. It is a fact that all the time children are exposed to films and reports about crimes. Many people do not agree that this affects the young people, but I think that young people are very much affected by the society they grow up in. I feel that the fault may be as much with our whole society as with these young people.

46. From the passage we know that many British people at the present time are puzzled about ____.

A. the causes of young people’s crimes　

B. the increase of the crime rate　

C. the problems of crime in the country　

D . the various kinds of juvenile crimes.

47. According to the passage, which groups of the following young people from British are least likely to commit crimes?

　A. Those in big cities　　　B .Those in the countryside　

C .those who are very poor D .those who are in urgent need of help.

48. The author holds different opinions from other people in that ____.

　A. young people nowadays do not like the adult world

B .young people in Britain today are freer than before　

C .young people who commit crimes are greatly affected by the films of violence and crimes　

D. young people living in small villages in Britain commit fewer crimes than those in big cities.

49. One reason why young people living in large cities are likely to commit crimes is that ____.

　A. they need more money

　B. they live a better life　

C. they can easily get organized for crimes　

D .nobody knows anything about others

50. According to the passage, who is to blame for juvenile crimes, apart from the young people themselves?

A. The society　　　　　　　 B . Their parents　

C .The adult world　　　　　 D .The development of the cities

Today we had a new English teacher. Her name is Wang Lan. She is a tall, young lady with a pair of glasses. She told us that she was glad to teach us English. When she taught, she spoke English. At the beginning, I found it a bit hard to understand her, but at the end of the lesson I felt much better. I was really happy, because I could not only read English, but also understand English through listening.
