第三部分 阅读理解（共２０小题；每小题２分，满分４０分）
Ａ
Many centuries ago, all people had to gather seeds and plants to eat. They did not know how to farm or raise animals for food. We call them the Stone Age people because they used stone tools and weapons.
You may feel surprised in the world today there are still people who live like the Stone Age people. They live in the places that are hard to reach. Because they have met few people from the outside world, they don’t know about modern inventions. They have not learned ways of doing things from others.
For 25,000 years, groups of people have lived alone in the middle of Australia. One of these groups is the Arunta tribe (部落). They do not know how to farm and how to raise sheep or cattle.
The Aruntas spend most of their time searching for food and water. The men hunt animals with stone-tipped spears. The women and children look for roots, seeds and nuts. They use sticks to dig up the roots. Several Arunta families live together. They have no house. At night, they sleep around small fires.
Now other people are moving into the center of Australia. Soon the Aruntas will no longer be a Stone Age people.
56. The Stone Age people are called so because they ____.
A. gathered seeds and plants to eat
B. didn’t know how to farm
C. used stone tools and weapons
D. didn’t raise animals for food
57. The Arunta tribe has lived ________.
A. in the middle of Africa
B. in the center of Australia
C. together with other people
D. in poorly built houses
58. Why do the Aruntas still live in the way as they lived before
A. Because they have not yet learned new ways from other people.
B. Because they do not want to change their way of living.
C. Because other people are moving in and living with the Aruntas.
D. Because each family live alone without knowing others.
59. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. the Australians live much like the Stone Age people
B. the Arunta tribe has a history of 25 centuries
C. the Stone Age people have at last disappeared in the world
D. the Aruntas will change their way of living sooner or later
Ｂ
There are more than 250,000 rivers in the United States. Added up together, they flow for more than 5,500,000 kilometers.
The largest and most famous river in the United States is the Mississippi. It starts near the northern border of the United States and flows through the center of the country for more than 3,700 kilometers. About 250 smaller rivers flow into the Mississippi. The mouth of the Mississippi empties into the Gulf of Mexico.
However, the Missouri River is the longest river in the United States. It flows for about 4,000 kilometers. It begins in the Rocky Mountains of North America. It flows along the borders of seven states before it empties into the Mississippi River near the city of Saint Louis, Missouri.
Three rivers that join together in the north central state of Montana form the Missouri River. The water is clear there. But, as it moves east and south, the Missouri River turns brown as it collects huge amounts of dirt from the land. That is why many people call the Missouri River the “Big Muddy”.
Some people say the Columbia River in the northwest is the most beautiful river in America. It flows from the Canadian province of British Columbia into the United States through the state of Washington. The Columbia River is the largest river that empties into the Pacific Ocean.
Another famous river is the Rio Grande. It is the longest river in the state of Texas. It forms the border between Texas and Mexico.
The oldest river in the United States is the New River. It begins in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina and flows north through parts of Virginia and West Virginia. The New River may be also the second oldest in the world. It is funny how something so old can be called new.
60. Near the city of Saint Louis is the place ________.
A. where the Missouri River rises
B. where the Missouri River joins the Mississippi River
C. where other three rivers join the Missouri River
D. where the Mississippi River flows into the ocean
61. From Paragraph 4 we know that the water in the upper reaches of the Missouri River is ________.
A. muddy B. dirty C. clear D. brown
62. In the state of Washington you can visit the beautiful ___.
A. Missouri River B. Mississippi River

63. Which of the following rivers is the border between Texas and Mexico
A. The Rio Grande River.

C. The Columbia River.
D. The Mississippi River.

Nowadays many students are interested in studying abroad.
Attending schools abroad has many advantages. First, by looking at our own country from outside, we can best see the strong points and weak points of our nation and therefore widen our vision and broaden our minds. Second, while studying in a foreign country, we can travel widely, visiting famous scenic spots and making friends with the local people. Third, we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our ability in that language may be improved quickly. But the most important is to learn advanced science and technology. For all these advantages, it is really worthwhile to go abroad for education.
However, as everything has two sides, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign university. The most serious problem is the language barrier (障碍). Most of the students who are ready to go abroad do not prepare themselves well for the new language environment. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the instructors are saying in class. Besides, for not knowing about the customs and way of life of the local people, they may run into trouble in dealing with various situations. Therefore, misunderstandings often arise. Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find part-time jobs in order to help support themselves. Faced with these difficulties, many students find themselves unable to pay full attention to their studies and some students may even fail in their courses and learn little.
Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider the factors carefully before making up his mind. On the one hand, it is a good thing to go and study abroad. But on the other hand, one must not neglect (忽视) the disadvantages.
64. The following are all advantages of studying abroad EXCEPT ________.
A. having more chances to get good jobs
B. improving foreign language ability quickly
C. visiting well-known scenic spots
D. learning advanced science and technology
65. The underlined word “instructors” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. neighbors B. teachers
C. strangers D. classmates
66. Why do some students find part-time jobs
A. Because they want to learn more skills in a different country.
B. Because they want to make full use of their spare time.
C. Because they are not interested in studying.
D. Because they have to support themselves.
67. The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A. studying abroad is a good way to learn advanced science and technology
B. everything has two sides
C. people should think twice before going abroad
D. going abroad has more advantages than disadvantages
Ｄ
There is a lake near a forest in Sweden. The water in the lake is very clear and everything is quiet and still. On the far side of the water is some farmland and further away, across the field, is an old church built on a hill. It has just stopped raining. The brook flowing into the lake is full and there is still some half-melted (半融化的) snow from last winter on the ground.
The reason why the water is so clear and everything is so quiet and still is that most of the animals and plants in and around the lake are dead. There are no birds because all the fish and insects, which the birds need for food, have disappeared. Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark (树皮), and are sick and dying. Others were blown down by the strong winds of last winter. A farmer is working in a field planting something, but unless he plants a stronger kind of seed this year, the crop will be between 25 to 40 percent lower than a few years ago. The stones of the old church tower are turning to powder and unless the tower is repaired soon, it will fall down.
All the death and destruction (破坏) in this place is caused by the smoke coming out of factories and poisonous gases from cars and trucks. And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest factory and highway.
68. Which season do you think it is
A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter.
69. Why are there no animals or birds in or around the lake
A. Because the weather is terribly cold.
B. Because the lake is quiet.
C. Because the area is seriously polluted.
D. Because they have all been killed.
70. Why does the farmer have to plant a stronger kind of seed
A. Because the soil is becoming less and less.
B. Because few plant life can stand the weather there.
C. Because the water in the lake can’t be used to irrigate (灌溉) the field.
D. Because the soil there is becoming unfit for farming.
71. What do you think is the best title of the passage
A. A beautiful place of interest.
B. A polluted place.
C. A quiet place in Sweden.
D. A faraway mountain area.
Ｅ
One of the most difficult things for children to deal with when moving to a new town is leaving their friends and making new ones.
We once moved and one of our new neighbors told us about a summer camp at the Recreation Center all the kids went to. My husband and I looked into it and we found it was unbelievably cheap. I had the kids sign up (报名) the next day so that they could know more kids there.
Another thing we did was to have them sign up for sports when school started. They were happy to be on teams with new friends they made. This also gave me a chance to meet new people and from them I sometimes got some useful ideas for my new books.
If you’re just moving to a new house in the same city you live in now, it won’t really be a problem unless your kids are changing schools. If they are, it is a great idea to have them take the address book to school. Thus, your children won’t feel “lost” without their old friends.
If you’re able to, over the summer vacation, try inviting the friend your child misses most to come and visit your new home for a week, or even a few weeks. I know this can be difficult if that child has to fly, but maybe you can work out a plan with the child’s parents. Think how happy the kids will be when they meet!
72. The author had her kids sign up for the summer camp mainly because _____.
A. she could afford the cost
B. she was asked to do so by her kids
C. it could give her kids a chance to meet more kids
D. it could make the summer holiday not so boring
73. What is probably the author
A. A housewife. B. A business woman.
C. A teacher. D. A writer.
74. What we can’t learn from the passage is that ____.
A. a summer camp at the Recreation Center was very cheap
B. having the kids take part in sports is good for both the author and her kids
C. parents should ask their children not to think of their old friends
D. parents should create more chances for children to make new friends
75. The purpose of the passage is to teach parents how to ______ when they move to a new place.
A. get used to the new life in a short time
B. help their children make new friends and keep the old ones
C. get along with their new neighbors
D. help their children get used to the new school life

Most Americans don’t like to get advice from members of their families. When they need advice, they don’t usually ask people that they know. Instead, many Americans write letters to newspapers and magazines. They can get advice on many different subjects, such as family problems, the use of language, health, cooking, childcare, clothes, and how to buy a house or car.
Most newspapers publish letters from readers with problems. There are answers written by doctors, lawyers or educators. But two of the most famous writers of advice are women without special training for this kind of work. One of them is called “ Dear Abby” by readers and the other is called “Dear Ann Landers”. Experience is their preparation for giving advice.

How time flies! Eighteen days have passed before I knew it. Our English Summer Camp, from July 10 to July 28, has successfully achieved its aims. All the participants — ten teachers and one hundred students — contributed a lot to making it successful. During the summer camp, we held many interesting activities, such as practising oral English, reading aloud English poems and singing English songs. I am very grateful to have the chance to know so many respectable teachers and kind friends, who have given me great help in improving my English.
I hope I will have another opportunity to attend such interesting activities next year.
