三、阅读理解（每小题2分，满分20分）
A
Looking for a children’s book Internet users can find hundreds of them. These books are from around the world. And they are free to readers. The United States has started a project called the International Children’s Digital Library. It is supported by the National Science Foundation, the Library of Congress and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
The goal of the project is to offer more than 10,000 children’s electronic books in at least 100 languages. Some of the books show the similarities and differences in ways of life around the world. They will enable children to have a better understanding of other people’s cultures. People working for this project have tried to design easy ways to search the collection and read the books. A picture of each page appears on the computer. Users can also print the pages on paper if they want to.
The project is for two main groups of users. The first group is children between the ages of three and thirteen, along with their teachers and parents. The second group is researchers of children’s literature (文学). The books can help children understand more about the world.
1. The books in the project can make children better understand ________.
A. other people’s cultures B. their own culture
C. their teachers and parents D. researchers of children’s literature
2. In this project, the electronic books are ________.
A. expensive to readers B. from the U.S.A.
C. in different languages D. for children only
3. The underlined word “goal” probably means ________ in the passage.
A. 山羊 B. 煤炭 C. 进球得分 D. 目标

How green are you Do you know how to be greens We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.
Reduce
Reduce means "use less". Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary-or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse
Reuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle
Recycle means "change things into something else". Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees. So please remember these three words; reduce, reuse and recycle.
6. What is the passage about
A. How to produce things. B. How to burn things.
C. How to help others. D. How to be green.
7. Which of the following is right
A. Don't waste things. B. Always throw away old things.
C. Always buy new things. D. Buy too many things from abroad.
8. Why is it better to use a china cup and a lunch box
A. You can burn them. B. You can use them again.
C. You can throw them away. D. You can change them into something else.
9. To protect the environment, we should remember these three words: .
A. waste, reuse and recycle B. repair, burn and recycle
C. reduce, reuse and recycle D. reduce, waste and recycle.
10. The passage may come from ______.
A. a menu B. a dictionary C. a storybook D. a magazine

六、任务型阅读（每空1分，满分10分）
根据所读内容，在文章后的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每空只填1个单词。
In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.
Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.
Part of the problem is the new ‘out of town’ shopping centres. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centres. As a result, the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Critics say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport. Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about ￡100, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over ￡1.00.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.

How to live a low carbon life
As we all know, having a low-carbon life is very important to us.
First, I think having a low-carbon life can help us save a lot of energy. What’s more, it can help us reduce pollution and improve our environment.
We should pay attention to details in our daily life. One small step can make a big difference. For example, when we go outside, we had better ride a bike instead of driving a car. In order to keep the environment clean, we can plant more trees. When we leave the room, we should turn off computers or TV in time. While shopping, we can use paper bags instead of plastic bags.1
