Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
Rush hour traffic is a problem in many big cities around the world.Commuters(通勤者)rush to and from their jobs in cars，buses，subways，trains，and even on bicycles.Large cities in the United States have two rush hours－one in the morning and one in the evening.But in cities in other parts of the world，there are four rush hours.In Athens and Rome，for example，many workers go home for lunch and a nap.After this midday break，they rush back to their jobs and work for a few more hours.
In Tokyo，there's a big rush hour underground.Most of the people in Tokyo take the subways.The trains are very crowded.Subway employees called packers wear white gloves and help pack the commuters into the trains when the doors place.They make sure that all purses，briefcases，clothes，and hands are inside the trains.
In Seoul，many commuters prefer to take taxis to get to work，To hail_a_cab，many people stand at crossroads and raise two fingers.This means they'll pay the cab driver double the usual fare.Some people even raise three fingers！They'll pay THREE times the normal rate.
Streets in Rome are very crowded with automobiles and mopeds(摩托自行车)during rush hours.The city can't make its streets wider，and it can't build new highways，because it doesn't want to disturb many historic sites in the city，such as the Forum and the Colosseum.It took the city fifteen years to construct a new subway system.Construction had to stop every time workers found old artifacts and discovered places of interest to archaeologists(考古学家)．
In many big cities，there are special lanes on highways for carpools.These are groups of three or more people who driver to and from work together.They share the costs of gas and parking and take turns driving into the city.
Getting to work and getting home can be difficult in many places around the world.Rush hour traffic seems to be a universal problem.
31．Big cities have traffic problems during rush hours because there are ________．
A．special lanes on highways

C．four rush hours
D．many cars on the street
32．Most of commuters in Tokyo ________．
A．take subway trains to work
B．are packers
C．take taxis to work
D．carry briefcases to work
33．To“hail a cab”means to ________．
A．pay double the normal rate

A．live in the city
B．take the subway to work

B
Believe it or not，optical illusion(错觉)can cut highway crashes.Japan is a case in point.It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75% using a simple optical illusion.Bent stripes，called chevrons(人字形)，painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are，and thus drivers slow down.
Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D．C.is planning to repeat Japan's success.Starting next year，the Foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.
Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents，according to the Foundation.To help reduce those accidents，the Foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed－related hazards(危险)are the greatest－curves，exit slopes，traffic circles，and bridges.
Some studies suggest that straight，horizontal bars painted across roads can at first cut the average speed of drivers in half.
However，traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bar.
Chevrons，scientists say，not only give drives the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower.The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.
35．The passage mainly discusses ________．
A．a new way of highway speed control
B．a new pattern for painting highways
C．a new approach to training drivers
D．a new type of optical illusion
36．The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ________．

A．can keep drivers awake
B．can cut road accidents in half
C．will have a longer effect on drivers
D．will look more attractive

Wildlife faces threats (威胁) from habitat destruction, pollution, and other human actions.Although protecting wildlife may seem too hard at times, even small actions in your own neighbourhood can help protect many different animals.Here are some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions.
1．Create wildlife friendly areas in your backyard.
When trying to make your garden more beautiful, you can choose plants that can provide food and shelter to native wildlife.This will also help cut down on pollution.Add bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract and shelter these species.
2．Avoid harming the natural ecosystem (生态系统) in your area.
Some plants from other places can kill or harm native plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife.
3．____________
By using less water and fewer fuels, you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you.Take buses or the subway when you can，turn off electric devices when you're not using them, take shorter showers，and keep your room temperature at or below 6－8 degrees during the winter.
4．Buy products that are wildlife friendly.
Don't buy products that are made from endangered animals.Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, catches or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.
5．Donate money or time to organizations that protect wildlife and their habitats.
You can give money to organizations or groups that protect wildlife species in your neighbourhood.

Fourteen－year－old Richie Hawley had spent five years studying violin at the Community School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles when he took part in a violin contest.Ninety two young people were invited to the contest and Hawley came out first.
The contest could have been the perfect setup for fear，worrying about mistakes，and trying to impress the judges.But Hawley says he did pretty well in staying calm.“I couldn't be thinking about how many mistakes I'd make－it would distract(干扰)me from playing，”he says.“I didn't even remember trying to impress people while I played.It's almost as if they weren't there.I just wanted to make music.”
Hawley is a winner.But he didn't become a winner by concentrating on winning.He did it by concentrating on playing well.
A characteristic of high performers is their intense，pleasurable concentration on work，rather than on their competitors or future glory or money，says Dr.Charles Garfield，who has studied 1，500 achievers in business，science，sports，the arts，and professions.“They are interested in winning，but they're most interested in self－development，testing their limits.”
One of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses they've had and how much they've learned from each.“Not one of the 1，500 I studied defined losing as failing，”Garfield says.“They kept calling their losses‘setbacks’．”
A healthy attitude toward setbacks is essential to winning，experts agree.
“The worst thing you can do if you've had a setback is to let yourself get stuck in a prolonged depression.You should analyze carefully what went wrong，identify specific things you did right and give yourself credit for them.”Garfield believes that most people don't give themselves enough praise.He even suggests keeping a diary of all the positive things you've done on the way to a goal.
43．Hawley won the contest because ________．
A．he put all his mind to his performance
B．he cared much about the judges' feelings
C．he worried about making mistakes.
D．he paid close attention to the people around
44．High performers is that they tend to concentrate on ________．
A．glory B．wealth
C．pleasure D．work
45．The passage tells us that“praise”in times of trouble ________．
A．helps people deal with their disappointment
B．makes people forget their setbacks
C．makes people regret about their past
D．helps people realize their goals
46．It can be learned from the passage that top performers are not ________．
A．interested in winning
B．free of losses
C．accustomed to failures
D．concerned about setbacks

The opera house in Santa Fe，New Mexico，is one of the most beautiful in the United States.It is small and open，with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience.This opera house in the mountain is one of the best in the country，which may seem surprising because performances are only given during the seven weeks in summer，and because Santa Fe is a very small city.
One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers.They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday，and they work hard to become well－known during the summer.The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras(管弦乐队)and operas in the country during their vacations.
They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe，which is near both the mountains and the desert.It is very beautiful there in summer.
The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country，and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera.Still，most of the audience does come from Santa Fe and other nearby cities，and all the seats in the theater are sold for every show.
There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, and that is the cold weather.Because the theater is open，performances cannot start before it gets dark at nine o'clock in the evening，and then the mountain air becomes very cool.Sometimes people complain about the cold air，but because the operas are good，these people come back again wearing warm coats.
47．This passage mainly introduces ________．
A．a mountain city B．young musicians
C．an opera house D．the tourism in Santa Fe
48．Young singers come to perform in Santa Fe Opera because ________．
A．the music quality is high
B．they enjoy the climate there
C．they want to be famous
D．they like the scenery there
49．It seems surprising that Santa Fe becomes famous because ________．
A．it is only a very small place
B．it is between the mountain and desert
C．all the seats are sold for every show
D．musicians there are from the best orchestras
50．From the passage, we can learn that ________．
A．the opera house is open without any roofs
B．musicians always spend vacations in Santa Fe
C．the government advertises to attract more musicians
D．performances are held in Santa Fe only after it is dark

【参考范文】
Dear_Monica，
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your company while I was on this summer camp, which was an unforgettable experience for me and I also benefited a lot from it.
Through visiting American university, I got a good knowledge of American university－tourist attractions in some way, which broadened my horizon and introduced me to more about American culture.Besides, during the summer camp, I made some American friends, just like you, who gave me lots of assistance.Moreover, in an environment exposed to English language, my English listening and speaking skills got improved greatly.
Would you like to join the summer camp in China next summer? I'll be you best guide and you can experience traditional Chinese culture, and enjoy tasty Chinese food, etc.
I'm looking forward to your coming.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely，

In many countries today, laws protect wildlife.In India，the need for such protection was realized centuries ago.
About 300 B．C.an Indian writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today.The killing of beasts was carefully supervised (监视)．Some animals were fully protected.Within the forest, nobody was allowed to cut wood for building，burn wood for fire, or catch animals for their fur.Animals that became dangerous to visitors were caught or killed outside the park so that other animals would not become uneasy.
The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before.About a thousand species of animals are in danger of extinction,_and the speed at which they are being destroyed has increased.Taking mammals (哺乳动物) for example, the speed of extinction was about one species every fifty years from A．D.1 to 1800, but now it is about one species every year.Everywhere，men are trying to solve the problem of protecting wildlife and caring for the rapid growth of the world's population.

Ⅰ.1.appreciated 2.contains 3.employ 4.mercy
5．loss 6.affect 7.succeeding 8.distant 9.responded 10.decreased
Ⅱ.1.A 句意：今晚足球比赛一定举行。It is certain that...是固定句型。
2．C 句意：为了降低死亡率，救援队正致力于挽救更多的生命。be employed in doing sth.致力于做某事，是一个固定搭配。
3．C 句意：这个工作已被登广告好几天了，但是到目前为止没有人对此做出反应。respond to对……做出反应，对……做出回答；answer用作及物动词；consider作为“考虑”讲时，是及物动词；want则用于want to do结构中。故选C。
4．A 句意：她无法专心工作，因为她深受他去世消息的影响。affect在此表示“影响”的意思。
5．B 句意：我们必须做点事来挽救那座旧庙。它现在很危险。由语境可知，第一空用protect/rescue/save均可；而第二空表示“旧庙自身处于危险中”，用in danger，故B项正确。
6．B 句意：她感到魔术师的表演如此逗人开心以至于突然大笑起来。burst into后接名词，相当于burst out doing，表示“突然……起来”。burst forth和burst in均为不及物用法的动词短语，其后不能直接跟名词或代词等。
7．C 句意：如果你想得高分，你必须注意老师课上教的东西。look forward to“盼望”；think highly of“高度评价”；pay attention to“注意”；look up“向上看”。
8．C 句意：他们今年生产的计算机与去年相比增长了30%。increase by“增加了”，后常跟百分数，increase to“增加到”，后常跟具体的数字，所以第一空用by；compared to/with“和……相比”，常用来作状语。
9．B 句意：他去世后，金正恩接替他担任这个国家的主席。succeed“接替；继任”，succeed sb.as...“接替某人担任……”，符合题意。continue“继续”；follow“跟随”；remove“移开；搬开”。
10．D 句意：受污染的水里的化学物质如果得不到恰当的处理就会对人的身体造成伤害。do harm to“对……有害”；do good to“对……有好处”。
Ⅲ.1.A 由上文的“我决定去参观野生动物保护区”可知，应是“离开”宾馆。
2．B 由第4空后的“Stay in your car” 可知，此处应选择car。
3．B 由第一句可知作者是参观野生动物保护区，因此他是给动物拍照，而不是给孩子们、游戏和事物拍照。
4．D 由空前的notices 可知，我们应选择say 或read 的适当形式；由notices 与say 或read 之间关系是主动的可以排除read，应用saying。
5．C 由上一句的“in your car”可知此处应用get out，表示从车中出来。
6．A 由上一句的a shallow stream 可知，这条小溪很浅，因此此处表示作者横渡小溪。
7．A 由前面的wheels 可知，此处指车轮转动，应用 turn round。而run、go和return与wheels 搭配不当。
8．C 由下一句的“the car had stuck in the mud”可知，汽车陷在泥中，因此此处表示“车轮只转动，但不前行”。
9．A 由上文的警告牌，以及下文的作者仔细查看四周可知，作者很是害怕，而不是生气、吃惊或高兴。
10．D 由上面的“自己在小溪里和衣服上满是泥”以及but 可知，此处表示作者对此无能为力。
11．C 由下面的“我不敢去那儿”可知此处用although 引导让步状语从句。即虽然附近有片森林，但我不敢去那儿。
12．A 因为车子出了故障，又无处可去，所以作者的心情是焦虑的(anxious)，而不是惊奇的，快乐的或勇敢的。
13．A 此处表示“我不知道还要多久会有野生动物发现我”。句式“It is/was＋一段时间＋before＋句子”表示“还有一段时间会发生……”。
14．B appreciate 表示“喜欢”，能够吃到一顿人肉大餐，狮子应该会很高兴。而hate 表示“不喜欢”；thank 表示“谢谢”；refuse 表示“拒绝”。
15．C 吃到新鲜的肉狮子会高兴。此处表示“新鲜的”人肉。而dead 表示“死的”；rotten 表示“腐烂的”；good 表示“好的”，均不如fresh 与human being 搭配更符合情境。
16．D 由下文可知有人来了，因此作者大喜过望。
17．A 既然帮助作者，a keeper 应该用吉普车把作者的车从小溪里拉到干地之上。表示“拉”应用pull；push 表示“推”；send 表示“派，送”；carry 表示“携带”。
18．B 作者向他人解释自己的遭遇。talk 是不及物动词，不能接宾语从句；announce 表示“宣布”。
19．C 由短文第一段第二句的“离开宾馆”可知，此处表示“回到宾馆”。
20．C 由but 一词可以推知“没有人会相信我的话”。

China's giant panda shows the achievement of the international effort to save animals that are now in danger.In television programmes we often see pandas playing funny games.Children have panda toys and beautiful cards with pictures of lovely pandas in them.They often visit the giant pandas in the zoo on their holiday and have a good time there.
However, scientists are worried about the future of giant pandas.They know only about 1，000 giant pandas remain alive today.They think the giant panda will die out in 30 years if the present conditions are not improved.
It is reported that the giant pandas have a very low birthrate.About 115 pandas live in zoos and research centres mainly in China, but during the past ten years they produced only 34 young pandas that are still alive.Survival rate for giant pandas in the wild are probably the same or lower.There are several reasons for the low birthrate.The main reason is that male pandas can make love with females in a very short season，only a few days a year.When they do have babies, females often produce two pandas, but the mother is usually not able to care for both of them.The new－born pandas weigh only a few grams each.They are too weak to live without special care.In the zoo, scientists can help the mothers care for the young pandas，but those living in the wild do not get enough help.It is very difficult for mother pandas to bring up their young pandas.
Conditions for the giant pandas have been worse in recent years.Pandas in China continue to reduce in number.We know pandas live on bamboos.But sometimes all the bamboos in one area die.The pandas there have nothing to eat and die of hunger.
Giant pandas now live in thirteen separate protected areas in China.Several years ago the Chinese government and the International Wild Life Organization agreed on a project of protecting giant pandas in the wild.We hope it could be helpful.
1．What does the writer think of the giant pandas?
A．They are funny.
B．They are dirty.
C．They are lovely.
D．They are naughty.
2．According to this passage we know most of the giant pandas live ________．
A．in the wild all over the world
B．in zoos and research centres
C．in the area where there are plenty of bamboos for them to eat
D．in thirteen separate protected areas in our country
3．Scientists are worried about the future of the giant pandas because ________．
A．sometimes all of the bamboos die in the area where the giant pandas live and they have nothing to eat
B．giant pandas that still live in the wild can not get enough help from humans
C．only a small number of giant pandas remain alive today and their birthrate is too low
D．male and female giant pandas often refuse to make love in the right season
4．If the present conditions are not improved, giant pandas in the world will disappear ________．
A．in less than a few years
B．in thirteen years
C．in thirty years
D．in the twenties

Several months ago，CCTV broadcast a documentary(纪录片)film about criminals(罪犯)．I remembered one criminal clearly：he had killed his girlfriend just because she wanted to leave him.The journalist asked him，“Do you regret killing your girlfriend？”“No.”“Why？”“It's useless to regret，”the man answered calmly.
The journalist was silent.At that moment，I felt very angry.This man had made such an unforgivable mistake but he still wouldn't say he was sorry.
Is regret really useless?
Of course，regret is an emotion linked to the past and this feeling cannot turn back the clock.But I think people who say regret is useless ignore(忽视)two points.One is that regret is useful for the future and to one's soul.Look up the word“regret”in a dictionary：there are many expressions，such as“repent(悔悟)”，“chagrin(悔恨)”and so on.All these are used to tell people not to make similar mistakes after they have realized their fault.If you don't regret，how can you repent？On the other hand，for those such as murderers，who have already lost their future，regret is still a bap－
tism(洗礼)for the soul.A murderer won't leave the world at peace with himself unless he understands what regret is.
I have no doubt that regret is a virtue.Just like a light in the darkness，it can offer people the ray of hope they need.No matter what you have done wrong，people will always respect you for showing regret and a willingness to correct your mistakes.In this way，regret is a special feeling.Correcting mistakes is better than complaining；it makes you feel good about yourself.So why not show some regret after doing something wrong?
5．The writer felt very angry because of ________．
A．the criminal's crime
B．the criminal's short answer
C．the criminal's not feeling sorry
D．the criminal's not knowing law
6．Regret is useful for ________ of the people who do wrong.
A．the future
B．the past
C．neither the past nor the future
D．both the past and the future
7．If a person who has done great wrong shows regret people will ________ him at this point.
A．hate B．dislike
C．look down upon D．respect
8．If a murderer has already lost his future，regret is ________ for him.
A．useless B．still useful
C．hardly useful D．almost useless
