第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Two high school students Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris made a series of home videos leading up to their killings of fellow students at Columbine High School in Colorado.
Time Magazine viewed the video tapes, and reports that Klebold and Harris expressed hatred for nearly all their schoolmates. Kelbold said on one tape, “I hope we kill 250 of you.” At lunchtime on April 20, Kelbold and Harris opened fire, and went on to kill 12 other students and one teacher before taking their own lives.
Time says the tapes--made over a five-week period before the violent(暴力的) act---make it clear that Klebold and Harris felt alienated and wanted revenge(报复) against those who disliked playing together with them or laughed at them--mainly the Columbine sports students.
The magazine says the only regret that the shooters show on the tapes is when Harris admits that his and Klebold’s parents would be “put through hell(地狱)once we do this.” But he said, “there’s nothing you guys (the parents)could have done to prevent this.” Klebold said, “I’m sorry I have so much anger in my heart.” Harris talked of having to move often with his family, starting over each time at the bottom of the social ladder, where people made fun of “my face, my hair, my shirts”. Time reports Klebold and Harris saw the attacks as a way to get “the respect we should”, Klebold said directors “will be fighting over this story”. FBI agent Mark Holstlaw told Time: “They wanted to be famous. And they are. They’re infamous.”
56. This passage mainly tells us about
A. the lives of two high school students B. an example of school violence in the USA
C. the techniques of making a home video D. the Time Magazine’s reports
57. Klebold and Harris made the attack as __
A. an achievement B. a skillfully-carried-out plan
C. a way of revenge D. a beginning of all their work
58. What does the underlined word “alienated”(paragraph 3)mean?
A. discouraged B. ashamed C. tired D. separated
59. The two boys regretted their deeds only
A. after they killed too many people B. after they killed a wrong person
C. when they thought of their parents D. when they saw the results
B
Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient practice which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past, the human race managed to live with it. Modern cleverness has changed this. Either Man will end the existence of war, or war will end the existence of Man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeeded in ending the existence of nuclear weapons, our work would not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in ending war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international problems in a new way not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skilful in killing people, but by settling in accordance with agreed rules of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.
There are those who say that the acceptance of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a big mistake. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their supporters believe in them so deeply that they are willing to go to war in support of them.
The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are coming nearer to is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important struggle nowadays is not between different countries but between Man and the atom bomb.
60. This passage implies that war is now _______.
A. worse than in the past B. as bad as in the past
C. not so dangerous as in the past D. as necessary as in the past
61. From Paragraph 2 we learn that the writer of the passage ________.
A. is a supporter of some modern ideologies
B. does not think that the acceptance of any ideologies could prevent war
C. believes that the acceptation of some ideologies could prevent war
D. does not doubt the truth of any ideologies
62. According to the writer, _______.
A. war is the only way to solve international arguments
B. war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weapons
C. it is impossible for people to live without war
D. war must be ended if Man wants to survive
63. The last paragraph suggests that _______.
A. international agreements can be reached more easily now
B. Man begins to realize the danger of nuclear war
C. nuclear war will surely not take place
D. world opinion welcomes nuclear war

Liu Xiang, a 21-year-old Chinese athlete, got the gold medal of the fascinating men’s 110m hurdles before a crowd of 70,000 at the Olympic Stadium in the 28th Olympics in Athens late Friday local time. He clocked an excellent 12.91 seconds to equal the world record set by Britain’s Collin Jackson in 1993.
It is the first gold Chinese men’s athlete has ever won from the track and field in the Olympics history. China has won over 100 gold medals from the summer Olympic Games since 1984 but its male athletes only got one medal from Olympics’ most popular sport.
The Shanghai native, with his father a truck driver and mother an out-of-work housewife, loved sports when he was very little. Liu was selected to the Junior Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai to practice jumping as a fourth grader in the primary school. But after a bone test showing that he will not be able to become a tall man, Liu was asked to give up sports one year later, although he had won the national champion at that level.
In 1998 when he attracted coach Sun Haiping’s attention as a 15-year-old jumper. Sun was a well-known hurdle coach and he believed a star was born at the first sight of Liu. He visited Liu’s parents several times and finally persuaded them to let Liu transfer to the 110m hurdles.
After only three years, Liu launched his career in style in the IAAF Grand Prix in Lausanne in 2001 by breaking the world youth and Asian record with a time of 13.12.
But the first warning he sent to the world was his bronze-winning feat at the world indoor championships in Birmingham, England, last year.
In 2004, Liu won the silver in the world indoor championships in Budapest in March. Two months later, he proved the winner in a race against American great Allen Johnson in the IAAF Grand Prix in Osaka, Japan, where he clocked a new Asian record and world’s season best time of 13.06 seconds.
He went on to win two Johnson-absent races in Lille, France, on June 26 and Zagreb, Croatia, three days later. He put up an exciting show at the Golden Gala meet in Rome on July 3, when he and Johnson clocked an identical time of 13.11. Race officials had to examine a photo finish to declare Johnson the winner. Liu did a better job of clearing the hurdles than Johnson, but Johnson’s stronger start ended up making the difference. The race boosted Liu’s optimism for the Olympics, although Johnson bettered his season best time by 0.01 second in Lausanne, Switzerland, on July 6.
The world has put the Olympics a Johnson-Liu duel but surprisingly Johnson crashed out of the Games after falling at the ninth hurdle at round 2. Johnson’s early exit paved the way for Liu’s win. He finally took the gold medal and put a Chinese man’s name on the record book.

E
They cannot vote which nations should have a seat on the United Nations Security Council, but ordinary people have shown their feelings .
By Tuesday afternoon , over 11.5 million people in and outside China had signed an online petition saying Japan should not succeed in its bid for an everlasting seat on the Security Council .
The loud call is due to the historical facts in World War Ⅱ. Some Japanese politicians said their country is ready to play a more active role in global affairs , and their country’s contribution can no longer be limited to financial aspects .
The petition by 11.5 million people tells Japan that money alone cannot buy their hearts .
A new history textbook that a right-wing Japanese organization has submitted for official agreement goes so far as to paint Japan as a “victim” in World WarⅡ. Its authors even say that China started all the wars between the two countries .
Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi turned down an invitation to a grand party in Moscow on May 9 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the end of War World Ⅱ. Koizumi’s absence will do nothing but encourage more probes into his country’s historical baggage .
Japanese politicians continue to visit the Yasukuni Shrine . Wartime leader and war criminal Hideki Tojo , as well as five other hanged war criminals , are buried at the shrine . They talk about peace during the visits and ask their Asian neighbors to understand Japanese culture , which requires them to visit Shinto shrines to mark seasonal celebrations . But they don’t see the pains that the Japanese invasion brought on other Asian countries . How can a nation sleep with such a history on its conscience？The amount of money Japan gives the United Nations does not necessarily give the country the role in international affairs . Neither will an everlasting seat on the Security Council free Japan from its historical baggage .
72. According to some Japanese politicians their visits to Shinto Shrines are due to .
A．the fact that the six World War Ⅱcriminals were buried there
B．the intention that Japan wants to get an everlasting seat on the Security Council
C．the requirement of Japanese culture
D．the probes of the war criminals
73. The 11.5 million people signed an online petition to .
A．stop Japan from bidding an everlasting seat on the Security Council
B．express their feelings that they didn’t want Japan to win its bid
C．honor the people who died in World War Ⅱ
D．support the idea that Japan should give the UN more money
74. In a new Japanese history book .
A．the Japanese are described as right-wing people
B．many victims submitted the agreement in World War Ⅱ
C．Japanese government has signed the agreement officially
D．China is considered to have been responsible for the war
75. Which of the following descriptions about Japan is NOT true ?
A．The government refused an invitation to the 60th anniversary of the end of World War Ⅱ
B．It wants to get an everlasting seat on the Security Council .
C．It wants more probes into its historical baggage .
