Ⅲ.阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
Honesty may seem to be the best policy and a value that parents teach their children.However，a new study has suggested that parents lie to their children more often than we think.
“We are surprised by how often parenting by lying occurs to our children，”said researcher Kang Lee of the University of Toronto，Canada.“Our findings showed that even the parents who attached much importance to honesty with their children got involved in it.”
Researchers ran two studies in which parents and students commented on nine situations where a parent lied to a child to either shape behaviour or make it happy.For instance，a parent is embarrassed by a child's crying and says，“The police will come to make sure that you behave if you don't stop crying now.”
To control the emotion of the child，the parent told the child，“A favorite uncle has just died and become a star to watch over you.”
The researchers tested about 130 parents，mostly moms，asking whether they had told similar lies.More than 70 percent said they taught their children that lying is unacceptable.Even so，nearly 80 percent of the parents admitted they had told at least one similar lie.
Researcher Heyman suggested the reasons can be benefiting the parents themselves or protecting the child from scary issues，such as lying about a murder in the news.
“Children sometimes behave in ways that are likely to harm their long－term interests，”said Heyman.“It is common for parents to try out a number of strategies，including lying.When parents are dealing with the demands of getting through the day，concerns about possible long－term negative influences on children's beliefs about honesty are not necessarily at the front position.”
26．What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A．Most parents don't lie to their children.
B．Many parents get used to teaching children by lying.
C．Honesty is no longer important in educating children.
D．There's no doubt that children often lie to their parents.
27．The purpose of the parent telling the lie in Paragraph 3 is to ________．
A．make the child feel happy
B．give the child a punishment
C．prevent the child from crying
D．teach the child to behave himself or herself
28．Which of the following is NOT a reason for parenting by lying according to the text?
A．Children may feel happy with the lies.
B．Parents want to free themselves from trouble.
C．Parents need to protect the children from bad things.
D．Children sometimes don't want to know the truth.
29．According to Heyman，________．
A．negative effects of lying aren't paid enough attention to
B．children won't be misled about honesty by lying
C．it's unusual for parents to use lying to educate children
D．it's strange that some people worry about child－
ren's beliefs
30．The purpose of this text is to ________．
A．show that children learn to lie from their parents
B．tell parents the importance of children's honesty
C．show how to educate children by lying

B
You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight.They hit one another hard.At the start they only fight with their fists.But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs.And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below.He is dead.I'm sure he isn't really dead.With any luck he isn't even hurt.Why？Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains，who crash cars or even catch fire，are professionals.They do this for a living.These men are called stuntmen.That is to say，they perform tricks.There are two sides to their work.They actually do most of the things you see on the screen.For example，they fall from a high building.However，they do not fall onto hard ground but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress.Again，when they hit one another with chairs，the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows，the glass is made of sugar！But although their work depends on trick of this sort，it also requires a high degree of skill and training.Often a stuntman's success depends on careful timing.For example，when he is“blown up”in a battle scene，he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work，but they lead dangerous lives.They often get seriously injured，and sometimes killed.A Norwegian stuntman，for example，skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high.His parachute failed to open，and he was killed.In spite of all the risks，this is no longer a profession for men only.Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action.For nowadays there are stunt women too.
31．Stuntmen are those who ________．
A．often dress up as actors
B．prefer to lead dangerous lives
C．often perform seemingly dangerous actions
D．often fight each other for their lives
32．Stuntmen earn their living by ________．
A．playing their dirty tricks
B．selling their special skills
C．jumping out of high windows
D．jumping from fast moving trains
33．When a stuntman falls from a high building，________．
A．he needs little protection
B．he will be covered with a mattress
C．his life is endangered
D．his safety is generally all right
34．Which of the following is the main factor(因素)of a successful performance?
A．Strength. B．Exactness.
C．Speed. D．Carefulness.
35．What can be inferred from the author's example of the Norwegian stuntman?
A．Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.
B．The cliff is too high.
C．The percentage of serious accidents is high.
D．Parachutes must be of good quality.

The Leshan Giant Buddha is a statue of Maitreya(弥勒大佛)in sitting posture.The Buddha is located in Sichuan Province，facing Min River，Qingyi River and Dadu River.In December，1996，the Buddha was included by UNESCO on the list of the World Heritage(世界遗产录)．
The statue was begun in the year 713 in the Tang Dynasty, and finished in the year 803.The Buddha is 71 meters high.The 8－meter－long instep(脚背)is big enough for one hundred people to sit on and the 28－meter－wide shoulder is large enough to be a basketball playground.
A monk called Hai Tong is connected with the Buddha forever.At that time，wild waters brought out many boat accidents and people just put the disaster down to the presence of a water spirit.So Hai Tong decided to make a statue beside the river thinking that the Buddha would bring the water spirit under control.After 20 years' begging from door to door，he finally collected enough money for the plan.When some local government officials tried to get this amount of money，Hai Tong said that they could get his eyeballs but not the money raised for the Buddha.After he dug out his eyeballs，these officials ran away scared.The project was half done when Hai Tong passed away，and two of his disciples(门徒)continued the work.After a total of 90 years' hard work，the project was finally completed.
Having such a long history，the Buddha was nearly destroyed by the wind and rain.The Chinese government began the repairing work in 1963 under the instructions of experts from UNESCO.
36．What's the main idea of this passage?
A．To explain the Leshan Giant Buddha briefly.
B．To tell us how the Leshan Giant Buddha was built.
C．To say where the Leshan Giant Buddha is.
D．To mention how the Leshan Giant Buddha came into the World Heritage.
37．How did Hai Tong get the money for the Buddha?
A．By calling for donation.
B．By working on the river.
C．By asking the government.
D．By selling his eyeballs.
38．According to the passage，the Leshan Giant Buddha
________．
A．was completed when Hai Tong was alive
B．didn't exist now
C．played a good role in controlling the river
D．has been a World Heritage site for over ten years
39．Hai Tong hoped to build the statue to ________．
A．make his temple more famous
B．show respect to the water spirit
C．protect the safety of the local people
D．get more people to believe in Buddhism
40．In this passage，Hai Tong can be best described as ________.
A．generous B．cruel
C．easy－going D．long－suffering
D
The zebra belongs to the horse family.One of nature's great mysteries is why the zebra has stripes.One theory is that the stripes help the zebra cool down.On hot days the black stripes get a lot hotter than the white area of the zebra and under the black stripes there are special layers of fat for protection.Hot air then rises off the black stripes，forcing colder air down around the white areas，cooling the zebra down.This，however，is just a kind of theory.The stripes can also confuse predators(食肉动物，掠夺者)when zebras stay with other animals in great numbers.
Zebras have excellent hearing and eyesight and can run at speeds of up to 56 kilometers per hour.They also have a powerful kick that can cause serious injury to a predator，like a lion，or an African wild dog.Usually the lead male of the herd stays at the back of the group to defend against predators if necessary，while the females and youngsters escape danger.
Zebras are herbivores that feed only on plants and live mostly by eating grasses，although they also might eat a bit on the leaves and stems(茎)of bushes.They eat grasses for many hours each day，using their strong teeth.Spending so much time chewing wears the zebras' teeth down，so their teeth keep growing all their lives.As the dry season arrives and the grasses die back，zebra herds travel to find more food and water holes for drinking.Most zebras have no specific territories.They travel from place to place，never staying in one area very long.
41．It can be inferred from the first paragraph that________．
A．there are different opinions about why the zebra has stripes
B．the black stripes help the zebra live through cold days
C．the zebra can be easily attacked by predators
D．the zebra always travels with other animals
42．According to the passage，herbivores are animals that ________．
A．have specific territories
B．only eat plants
C．kill and eat other animals
D．live in groups
43．The zebra has strong teeth all their lives because their teeth ________．
A．only chew soft grasses B．are used all day
C．are always growing D．are kept clean
44．Which of the following statements about zebras is TRUE?
A．They have poor eyesight and hearing.
B．A lion can get injured by a zebra's kick.
C．They can run 56 miles per hour.
D．They usually stay in one area all their lives.
45．Which of the following TV programs might the passage be adapted(改编)for?
A．Hobbies & Leisure B．Everyday Tips
C．Digital Stadium D．Discovery

The Palace Museum，known as the Forbidden City，was the imperial(帝王的)palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.In the early 15th century，large－size construction caused 100，000 common people to lead a hard life.The construction took 14 years and was finished in 1420.In the following year，the capital of Ming Dynasty was moved from Nanjing to Beijing.Twenty－four emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties ruled from the Forbidden City.The last dynasty fell in 1911，but Emperor Puyi still lived in the inner court.It was not until 1925 that the complex buildings were changed into a museum.Since then，the Palace has been opened to the public.
The Palace Museum is rectangular(长方形)in shape，about 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meters wide from west to east.There is a 10－meter－high wall，encircled by a 52－meter－wide moat(护城河)．In the Ming Dynasty，the wood needed for the building was brought mostly from Sichuan and Hunan Provinces，while in the Qing Dynasty，it was cut from the northeast of China.Most of the stones were mined from the suburban(郊外的)district of Fangshan and other districts.Construction of the Forbidden City brought huge hardship to the laboring people.
The Palace is the largest piece of ancient Chinese architecture(建筑)still standing.Some of the buildings were damaged by lightning and rebuilt in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The Palace has been expanded several times，but the original design was preserved.After liberation，some costly renovations(翻新)were done and the Palace Museum is listed as one of the important historical sites under special preservation by the Chinese government.

Petra may be the treasure of the world，hidden among mounta－
ins.Its most beautiful scenery makes it the greatest ancient site still－standing nowadays.Common sense says，“Perhaps there's nothing on the planet that resembles it.”Without doubt，there's nothing in the world that resembles it.The rock－carved(雕刻的)rose－red town of Petra is filled with mysterious_charm；it had been“designed to strike wonder into all who entered it”．
Petra is the most well－known and beautiful site in Jordan that is about 262 km south of Amman，and 133 km north of Aqaba.The Dead Sea is 80 km north of it.It was the legacy from the Nabataeans，who settled in the southwest of Jordan a lot more than 2，000 years back.Because of its excellent culture，buildings and many water channels，Petra has become a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the world that attracts visitors all over the world.
To get there，you must pass through a kilometer long，cool，dark and narrow gorge(峡谷)whose two high sides keep the sunlight out.Suddenly the gorge opens right into a natural square covered with Petra's most well－known monuments(遗址)，which glow in the bright sun.The old town shows the visitors its beautiful look.It leads people to think about the creativity of the Nabataeans who made Petra as their capital.
Petra flourished for more than 400 years at about the time of Rome until it had been occupied by the Roman legions in 106 AD.Petra has 800 monuments，including buildings，tombs，baths，halls，temples and streets，which were mostly carved in the pretty sandstone.
