第三部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题:每小题2分，满分30分)
A
Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.
At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.
Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.
56. The underlined word “cure” in Paragragh 1 probably means ______.
A. a medical treatment B. a kind of vitamin
C. a kind of germ D. a kind of rice
57. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.
A. spend his holiday B. find ways to grow better crops
C. do some research about the island D. help the Javanese with their illness
58. Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?
A. To eat them. B. To carry out his experiments.
C. To give the Javanese a surprise. D. To make money by selling them.
59. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. beri-beri was caused by chickens
B. the Javanese didn’t like vitamins
C. Christian Eijkman’s experiment was successful
D. the Javanese’s disease was caused by a kind of germ
B
When I lived in Spain，some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car，before they left，they asked me about how to find accommodation（住所）．I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses， because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family．My friends listened to my advice，but they came back with some funny stories．
“We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses，”they said．“Because we found that most families were away on holiday．”
I thought this was strange．Finally I understood what had happened．My friends spoke little English，and? they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays” because Spanish word for “holiday” is “vacaciones”．So they did not go to houses where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”，which in English meant there are free rooms．Then my friends went to houses where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”，because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday．But they found that these houses were all full．As a result，they stayed at hotels！
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs．In Spanish，a word very similar to “DIVERSION” means fun．In English it means that workman is repairing the road，and that you must take a different road when my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign，they thought they were going to have fun．Instead， the road ended in a large hole．
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages．Once in Paris，when someone offered me some more coffee，I said “Thank you” in French．I meant that I would like some more．However，to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away！ Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No，thank you”．
60. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ____ ．

62. “No vacancies” in English means ____．
A．no free rooms B．free rooms ?C．not away on holiday D．holidays
63. I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because I ____ ．

She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last for ever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.
The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louver Museum(卢浮宫) where it is housed.
“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision(视觉) is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”
However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.
In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum, hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.
68. Which of the following is true about the Mona Lisa?
A. It was once taken away and hidden up by German forces.
B. Its painter himself loved it greatly and always kept it in a shade.
C. Mona Lisa stops smiling when you look at her wanting to see her smiles
D. King Francis I bought it and then returned it to Italy.
69. Choose the right order about the happenings onto Mona Lisa.
a. It was stolen from the Louvre.
b. Its painter sold it to King Francis I.
c. Its state of health was checked.
d. It was returned to France and housed in the Louver Museum.
e. It was hidden and protected against Germans.
A. b-a-d-e-c B. d-e-c-b-a C. d-a-e-c-b D. b-c-a-d-e
70.What might be the best title of the passage?
A. Mona Lisa, A Smiling Lady B. Mystery, Uncovered for Centuries
C. Smiling in Shadows, Da Vinci’s Style D.Famous Painting Faces Damage

Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829． 72 He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847．Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business．This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention．After the gold rush of 1949, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes．

In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets（铆钉）．This made the pants last a long time．Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent． 74 ．
The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world．

作文
The opinions are divided. Most of us agree that music should be played. As we know, music can produce a lively and happy atmosphere .Besides, music brings us relaxation after hard study, which reduces the tiredness. Listening to music also makes us feel happy and nice. On the other hand, some students don’t think so . In their opinion, they can’t get relaxed with music, as the class break time is too short. What is needed most during the class break is peace instead of noise produced by the music.

She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last for ever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.
The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louver Museum(卢浮宫) where it is housed.
“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision(视觉) is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”
However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.
In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum, hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.
68. Which of the following is true about the Mona Lisa?
A. It was once taken away and hidden up by German forces.
B. Its painter himself loved it greatly and always kept it in a shade.
C. Mona Lisa stops smiling when you look at her wanting to see her smiles
D. King Francis I bought it and then returned it to Italy.
69. Choose the right order about the happenings onto Mona Lisa.
a. It was stolen from the Louvre.
b. Its painter sold it to King Francis I.
c. Its state of health was checked.
d. It was returned to France and housed in the Louver Museum.
e. It was hidden and protected against Germans.
A. b-a-d-e-c B. d-e-c-b-a C. d-a-e-c-b D. b-c-a-d-e
70.What might be the best title of the passage?
A. Mona Lisa, A Smiling Lady B. Mystery, Uncovered for Centuries
C. Smiling in Shadows, Da Vinci’s Style D.Famous Painting Faces Damage

作文
The opinions are divided. Most of us agree that music should be played. As we know, music can produce a lively and happy atmosphere .Besides, music brings us relaxation after hard study, which reduces the tiredness. Listening to music also makes us feel happy and nice. On the other hand, some students don’t think so . In their opinion, they can’t get relaxed with music, as the class break time is too short. What is needed most during the class break is peace instead of noise produced by the music.
