第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Scars
Some years ago, on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (美洲鳄) was swimming toward the shore.
His father working in the yard saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In utter fear, he ran toward the water, yelling to his son as loudly as he could.
Hearing his voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U – turn to swim to his father. It was too late. Just as he reached his father, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the father grabbed his little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug – of – war (拔河) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the father, but the father was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, took aim and shot the alligator.
Remarkably, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches where his father’s fingernails dug into his fresh in his effort to hang on to the son he loved.
The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy asked if he would show his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, he said to the reporter, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my dad wouldn’t let go.”
You and I can identify with that boy. We have scars, too. No, not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friend, are because someone has refused to let go. In the midst of your struggle, someone has been there holding on to you.
If you have the scars of someone’s love on your arms, be very, very grateful. Someone in your life did not and will not ever let you go.
Never judge another person’s scars, because you don’t know how they got them.
56．Which of the following is the most closely related to the underlined word “passionate”?
A．determined B．anxious C．frightened D．courageous
57．When the boy told the newspaper reporter about the scars on his arms, he felt .
A．painful and fearful B．regretful and panic
C．proud and grateful D．excited and thankful
58．In the story the writer intends to tell us that .
A．scars always remind people of their past experiences
B．wounds in the mind are more painful than those in the body
C．a painful past always leaves scars on a person’s mind
D．scars do not necessarily mean pain at all times
59．Which of the following viewpoints will the writer most probably agree with?
A．Be grateful to a painful past, for you can always learn something from it.
B．Other people’s criticism or blame may hurt you, but if it is for your own good, you should take it thankfully.
C．The swimming hole of life is filled with danger, but you don’t need to be too serious about it as someone will never let you go.
D．If someone hurts you, be grateful to them, for they mean no harm

It is not always easy to understand inventions and new developments in science. To understand fiber optics, however, you can try and experiment.
Put a drop of milk into the glass of water. Turn off the lights. Shine the light from your flashlight through the top of the glass at an angle of about 45 degrees. Put a piece of white paper against the glass when the beam of light is shining. Move the paper so you can see where the beam is coming out of the glass. You should see a spot of light. Some of the light has passed through the water and through the glass. You see it on the paper. You also see another beam going down into the glass. It is being reflected down into the glass.
Next move the flashlight so that the beam is coming straighter down (30 degrees) into the water. You will see the same phenomenon : some of the light is reflected back into the glass. And some escapes out. Now move the beam of light from the flashlight slowly up until you cannot see any light escaping. This point is called the “point of total internal reflection”. The word internal means “inside”. All the light is staying inside the glass. There is no beam showing a bright spot on the white paper. All the light energy is inside the glass.
The glass of milky water is like a strand (股) of glass. A fiber optic tube is a bundle of long thin strands of glass, really many tubes. However, the principle is the same : at a certain angle, all the light energy that goes into the glass fiber comes out at the other end.
Light is energy. Sound is energy. Radio waves and electricity are both energy. They can all be changed into light, and as light they can all travel along a glass fiber. Light travels at the rate of 186000 miles per second. Therefore, a message can travel that fast in a glass fiber. This is the principle, or law of nature, that makes fiber optics work.
64．Which figure shows the last step of the experiment?
|
65．In the experiment, makes the biggest difference.
A．the angle at which to shine the light from the flashlight
B．the amount of water in the glass
C．the number of drops of milk poured into the glass of water
D．the size of the hole through which to shine the light from the flashlight
66．What is the last step of the experiment intended to prove?
A．No spot of light is shown on the white paper.
B．No light can be noticed inside the glass.
C．No reflection can be seen.
D．No light energy is wasted.
67．The purpose of the experiment is to tell us .
A．how fast light travels B．how fiber optics work
C．how light travels in water D．how fiber optics help mankind
68．Which of following is the best title of the passage?
A．Experiment on Light Travel B．Communication on Fiber Optics
C．Principles of Fiber Optics D．Theory of Light Travel

One day I went to open a checking account. It was lunchtime and the only officer on duty was a black man with short, pressed hair and a neatly pressed suit. He was standing across a small counter from a young white boy who was wearing a V – necked sweater. I noticed the boy because of what happened next. He was holding an open savings – account book and wearing and expression of open dismay (沮丧). He was saying to the officer, “I opened the account myself, why can’t I withdraw (取) any money?” “I’ve already explained to you,” the officer told him, “that a fourteen – year – old child is not allowed to withdraw money without a letter from his parents. This is a rule.”
He turned to me with a smile, “May I help you, sir?”
I didn’t think twice. “I was going to open a new account,” I said, “but after seeing what’s going on here, I think I’ve changed my mind.”
“Excuse me?” he said. “Look,” I said, “what you’re saying is that this boy is old enough to deposit his money in your bank but he’s not old enough to withdraw it. The bank’s so – called policy is clearly ridiculous.”
“It may seem ridiculous to you, but I have to follow the rule,” he said. The boy had stood hopefully next to me during this exchange, but now I was just as helpless. Suddenly I noticed that his open savings book showed a balance of about $ 100. It also showed that there had been a series of small deposits and withdrawals.
“How do you explain that? Why did you let him withdraw money before, but not now?”
The man looked annoyed. “Because the tellers were not aware of his age before and now they are.”
The boy looked destroyed. Silently, he put his savings book in the rear pocket and walked out of the bank. The officer turned to me, “You really shouldn’t have interfered.”
“Why not?” I asked. “We were informed this morning that some neighborhood bully has been shaking this boy down (敲诈) for more than a month. That’s the real reason he was so upset.”
“You mean there is no rule about being too young to withdraw money from savings account?”
“Not that I ever heard of. Now, sir, what can we do for you?”
69．The officer refused to serve the boy because .
A．he had no letter from his parents
B．the bank’s policy did not permit
C．he was trying to protect the boy’s interests
D．the boy was too young
70．The boy could withdraw money before because .
A．the tellers were not aware of his age
B．the bank didn’t have the policy at that time
C．he got his parents’ letter
D．he had the right
71．What would “I ” most probably do in the end?
A．“I ” would say sorry to the officer.
B．“I ” would get angry because the officer cheated “me”.
C．“I ” wouldn’t believe what the officer said.
D．“I ” would go and tell the boy the truth.

About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the mother asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy, who could not have been more than seven or eight years old, replied, “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident stuck in my mind because it strengthened my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.
The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike any more. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?
Human development is based not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves leaning the secrets of the new situation. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret – revelation (揭示) machine has been fixed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information, indiscriminately (不加区分地), to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
72．Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world .
A．through touch with society B．gradually and under guidance
C．naturally and by biological instinct D．through exposure to social information
73．In the author’s opinion, the phenomenon that today’s children seem adultlike is caused by .
A．the widespread influence of television
B．the poor arrangement of teaching content
C．the fast step of human intellectual development
D．the constantly rising standard of living
74．Why is the author in favor of communication through print for children?
A．It enables children to gain more social information.
B．It develops children’s interest in reading and writing.
C．It helps children to memorize and practice more.
D．It can control what children are to learn.
75．What does the author think of the change in today’s children?
A．He feels amused by the children’s adultlike behavior.
B．He thinks it is a phenomenon worthy of note.
C．He considers it a positive development.
D．He seems to be upset about it.

Most scientists are now certain that global warming is taking place. Gases such as carbon dioxide produced by burning of coal, oil, wood, together with industrial pollution, are creating a warm blanket around the earth. This blanket is trapping heat in the atmosphere and so raising the temperature of the earth.
The evidence for global warming can now be seen in the world’s changing climate statistics. In Europe, eight of the last ten years have seen record high temperature. For northern Europe, this has generally been a change for the better. Gardens can now even grow tropical plants in England, though London may never see a “White Christmas” again. On the other hand, the countries around the Mediterranean Sea, and those south of the Sahara desert are receiving even less rain than before. In sub – Sabaran Africa the crops are drying out in the fields and people are dying of starvation. In the Americas, the climate is becoming more extreme – the summers are getting hotter and the storms are becoming more violent. In 1999 the southern United States was struck by a series of destructive hurricanes, while the end of 1999 saw the worst floods ever in Venezuela. Meteorologists expect such trends to continue, and indeed to worsen, if global warming cannot be halted (终止).

写作范文
High school students of today participate in lots of out – of – class activities As we can see from the pictures, some students go to factories, the countryside and the army to experience the colorful life of workers, farmers and soldiers. In factories they make parts for machines under the supervision of the workers. They live and work together with farmers, helping them with planting, cultivating and harvesting. They have military drill in the army, learning shooting and marching.
By taking part in all these activities, students can widen their horizon. They get to understand the life out of school which is unfamiliar to them. They can also gain knowledge that is never taught in class or obtained (or: learned ) from books.
