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 ________.

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

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.

People always say that the earlier one learns a language, the 26 it is to do so, in theory it is that, 27 , in my opinion, that refers to spoken language. Capability(能力) to practice some essential(基本的) 28 of a language and read between the lines can only be trained through proper reading ways and hard work 29 .So spending money to help 30 learn English may 31 up with disappointment. It is likely that the more you 32 ,the more you are let down.

Everyday, 340 million people speak it. One billion people are learning it and it is said that by 2050, half of the world's population will be using it. What are we talking about? That global language—English.
The English language started in Britain in the 5th century. It is a mixed language. It was built up when German. Scandinavian and French invaders settled in England and created a common language for communication.
Today it is the official language of the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and Ireland as well as many islands in the Caribbean . Many other countries and regions use it for politics and business, for example, India. Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines. English is also one of the official languages of Hong Kong.
But global advertising and pop music mean that in most countries, you will see or hear some English. Thanks to McDonalds, we all know about "burgers". "fries" and "milkshakes". Songs by Madonna, Britney Spears and Celine Dion are in English. We can sing along, even if we do not understand what we are singing!
English is a messy (杂乱的) language. Every year, dictionaries include new words that talk about popular culture, for example, computer-related words such as "blogging", "download" and "chatroom". Also included are words that teenagers use. Who does not know "cool", "OK" and “hello” ?
Other languages also influence English. Many English words come from French. Words like "cafe" and expressions like "c'est la vie" (that is life) are all part of the English language. On the other hand, the French language includes English words like "le weekend" and "le camping". German words are also part of English. Words like "kindergarten" come from the German language.
Recently, British people have become interested in "yoga". But the word comes from an ancient Hindu language in India.
46. The English language has a history of ______.
A. over 2000 years B. over 500 years C. over 1500 years D. over 1000 years
47. The underlined expression “thanks to ” can be replaced by ______.

B. It has borrowed words from all the other languages.
C. French words are used by the English because dictionaries have French words.
D. Singers and film stars have the
greatest influence on language.
49. How many people in the world are using English now?
A. One billion people B. 340 million
C. almost all the people in the world.
D. not mentioned above, but the number is growing rapidly.
50. Many countries and regions use it for politics and business except______.
A. the USA B. Nigeria C. the Philippines D. Norway

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly（完全地），four things are necessary． First， we must understand the language when we hear it spoken． Secondly， we must be able to speak it ourselves， with confidence（自信） and without hesitation（犹豫）． Thirdly， we must do much reading． Finally， we must be able to write it． We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar．

What is language for？Some people seem to think it's for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words－the longer the lists，the better.That's wrong.Language is for the exchange(交流)of ideas and information.It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely.Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules，but they can't speak correctly or fluently(流利地).They are afraid of making mistakes.One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language.Native speakers make mistakes and break rules，too.Bernard Shaw once wrote，“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make.They're English mistakes in the English language.And if enough native speakers break a rule，it is no longer a rule.What used to be wrong，becomes right.People not only make history，they make language.But a people can only make its own language.It can't make another people's language.So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar，but they shouldn't overdo(做过头)it.They should put communication(交际)first.
56．Language is used to________.
A．express oneself B．practise grammar rules
C．talk with foreigners only D．learn lists of words
57．Generally，when an American or an Englishman speaks English，he or she________.
A．never makes mistakes B．often makes mistakes
C．can't avoid making mistakes D．always makes mistakes
58．The sentence“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”means that________.
A．foreigners speak correct English
B．foreigners speak incorrect English
C．foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules
D．foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English
59．When we speak a foreign language，we should________.
A．speak in Chinese way B．speak by the rules
C．speak to native speakers D．not be afraid of making mistakes
B
Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes？Let's have a look.
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies.We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants.Sometimes，people may get caught with their pants down.They are found doing something they should not be doing.And，in every family，one person takes control.Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do.Then we say she wears the pants in the family.
Pants usually have pockets to hold things.Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket.Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants.If you have less money than usual，you may have to tighten your belt.
I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much.I really take my hat off to them.Yet，when it comes to my own money，I spend it at the drop of a hat，which means I instantly spend it.
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes.People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are.I dislike such people.
My father is an important person.He runs a big company.He wears a suit and tie，and a shirt with sleeves that cover his arms.Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly.But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve.
60．What is this passage mainly about?
A．What pants mean in English. B．Some special English expressions.
C．Some funny English expressions. D．Some expressions related to clothes.
61．Which of the following expressions can show someone is nervous?
A．Get caught with one's pants down. B．Have ants in one's pants.
C．Wear the pants in the family. D．Burn a hole in one's pocket.
62．If we say someone has to tighten his belt，we probably mean he________.
A．has done something wrong B．used to live a rich life
C．has put on the wrong pants D．is short of money
63．Someone who spends his money at the drop of a hat most probably________.
A．doesn't save money B．earns much money
C．never wastes his money D．spends more than he earns

If you want to help children develop language and speech skills，UCLA researchers say，listening to what they have to say is just as important as talking to them.
The effect of a conversation between a child and an adult is abou t six times as great as the effect of adult speech input (输入) alone，the researchers found.“Adults speaking to children helps language develop，but what matters much more is the interaction，”said the study's lead author，Frederick Zimmerman，an associate professor in the School of Public Health at the University of California，Los Angeles.The researchers also found that TV viewing didn't have much of an effect－positively or negatively－as long as it wasn't displacing conversations between an adult and a child.
The UCLA study included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old.They represented a variety of incomes and education.The researchers found that， in an average day，children hear about 13,000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adult-child conversations a day.
Assessed separately，factors po sitively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1,000 word increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children.When looked at alone，TV was negatively associated with language development.But，when the three factors were analyzed together，the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.
“The more a child speaks and interacts with an adult，the better idea a parent has about where the child is，” Zimmerman said.“Although it's mostly done unconsciously，parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes.They'll also tailor their speech to the child.Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they're doing，such as，“I'm putting on your pajamas now.But give your child the opportunity to talk，hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment，”she added.“If parents can carve out some conversation time－maybe at bath time or at dinner time－that's a wonderful thing.”
64．The researchers also found that TV viewing ________.
A．could have a positive effect on a child's language development
B．had a little effect on a child's language development
C．affected a child's language development more negatively than positively
D．affected a child's language development both negatively and positively
65．Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree that ________.
A．parents should let their children talk most of the time
B．children should watch TV programs selectively
C．the conversation between parents and children should be two-way
D．it's no good for parents to correct their children's mistakes when they are speaking
66．We can conclude from the last paragraph that ________.
A．parents should let a child repeat what he or she says
B．bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a child
C．parent-child conversation can be carried out at any proper time
D．parents should leave a child talking alone
67．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Talk with kids，not at them
B．Let your children voice their own opinions
C．How to develop a child's language ability
D．The importance of early child language development
D
There are many differences between British English and American English.I used to teach a course about the differences between the two.We speak English on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean but we have many differences in our common language.We have examples of the same words having very d ifferent meanings，differing spellings of the same words as well as completely different words for the same things.Here are some examples.
A cookie in the US is called a biscuit in the UK.A biscuit in the US is a small cake in the UK.Crisps in the UK，are known as chips，but we British people eat a plate of chips that you call fries in the US.In the UK，a pie can be made from either meat or fruit，while in the US pies are normally made from fruit；pot pies are made from meat.Most things are measured in grams and kilograms in the US，not pounds and ounces.
One very obvious(明显的)difference is the side of the road we each choose to drive on.Petrol in the UK is gas in the US.The place where we fill up our cars，in the UK，is a garage；while in the US，it's a gas station.The term garage is also used as a place to store your car next to or close by your house.In the UK we call a lorry what is known as a truck in the US.
An elevator in the US is called a lift here，and the first floor in the US，is calle d the ground floor here，so many visitors get off on the wrong floor in British hotels.
I could continue with this.There are countless examples of differences within our one shared language.With so many differences，no wonder it's hard to understand each other well.
68．The passage is mainly about the differences between British English and American English in________.
A．vocabulary B．grammar C．sound D．spelling
69．It's implied in the passage that the author may be________.
A．a driver from the US
B．a cook from the US
C．a teacher from the UK
D．a gas station worker from the UK
70．In the author's opinion，________.
A．language differences don't affect understanding
B．the same words in the two different types of English may have different spellings
C．there will be fewer differences between American and British English in the future
D．it is impossible that some Americans get off on the wrong floor in British hotels
71．What can we learn from the passage?
A．“Elevator”is commonly used in the UK.
B．Pies mean the same thing in the UK and the US.
C．In the UK，things are measured in pounds and ounces.
D．British and American people drive on the same side of the road.

Is there anything more important than health？I don't think so.You can't be good at your studies or work when you are ill.
If you have a headache，or a bad cough，if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold，I think you should go to the doctor.
The doctor will examine your throat，feel your pulse，take your temperature，sound your heart and lungs.After that he will advise some treatment，or some medicine.The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking of doctor's advice，I can't help telling you a funny story. www.xkb1.com
An old man came to see the doctor.The man was very ill.He told the doctor about his weakness，memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs.The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.
He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest.He also advised him to eat a lot of meat，drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks.In other words，the doctor advised him to follow the rule：“Eat at pleasure，drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.”The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again，he shouldn't smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor's office.He looked cheerful and happy.He thanked the doctor and said that he_had_never_felt_a_healthier_man.
“But you know，doctor，”he said，“it's not easy to begin smoking at my age.”
72．The writer thinks that ________.
A．health is more important than wealth
B．work is as important as studies
C．medicine is more important than pleasure
D．nothing is more important than money
73．The doctor usually tells his patient what to do ________.
A．without examining the patient
B．after he has examined the patient
C．if the patient doesn't take medicine
D．unless the patient feels pain
74．The underlined part means“________”.
A．he was feeling better than ever
B．he wasn't a healthy man
C．he was feeling worse than before
D．he will be well again
75．From the last sentence of the passage，we learn the man ________ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A．was a heavy smoker
B．didn't smoke so much
C．didn't smoke
D．began to learn to smoke

参考答案：
I：21.选A。根据答语I'll explain it to you later可知选A。本句意为：“别担心(Don't worry)，我回头跟你解释。”
22.选D。by sea坐船；take the/a train坐火车，均指乘坐的交通工具。
23.选A。考查短语辨析。come up在这里意为“到来”，符合句意：十分钟后，来了一辆车，每个人都上车了。add up加起来；look up查阅；put up展示，张贴。
24.选C。句意：正如你所见，目前道路上汽车的数量在不断增加。the number of作主语时，谓语动词用单数，可排除B、D；再根据时间状语these days可知，描述的是现在的情况，所以选C。
25.：选A。本题中make full use of的宾语为every minute，其宾语前置，故用动词不定式短语充当目的状语。
26.选B。考查连词用法。even though“尽管；即使”；whether主要用来引导名词性从句；since“既然”引导时间或原因状语从句。主句意思是“她明白我在说什么”，从句的意思是“尽管那是我们第一次谈话”，只有B项符合语境。
27.选C。for example和such as都可当作“例如”解，但such as用来列举事物，表示对前面的复数名词部分起列举作用，一般不全部列出；for example用来举例说明；for instance用法同for example；that is意思是“换句话说；也就是说”。
28.选C。由句意可知，该空所填谓语动词应该用一般过去时态，故C正确。
29.选A。more than“多于，超过”；less than“少于”；no more than“只不过”；not more than “至多，不多于”。根据句意，A为正确答案。
30.选A。play a part in...表示“在……中起作用”，是固定短语，动词不能更换。另外，要注意句中的do you think是插入语。例如：Who do you think will go with the teacher？你认为谁会跟老师一起去？
31.选A。考查副词辨析。actually意为“事实上，实际上”；especially“尤其，特别”；hopefully“有希望地；充满希望地”；exactly“确切地”，只有A项符合句意。
32．C。句意为“不要回复任何要求得到个人信息的信件，无论它看上去多么正式”。request后接名词，意为“要求”；search“搜查，搜索”，其后所接宾语多为搜寻的地点；ask“问”，最后通常接问题或人；question“审问，怀疑”。
33.选D为：说要做和实际上做区别很大。actually意思是“实际上”。
34选B。考查形容词辨析。句意为：在世界上最高大的树木中，这个树种，原产于非洲东南部的一小部分地区。be native to原产于……。
35选C。考查间接引语。直接引语变间接引语后，疑问句语序要变为陈述语序，即主语在前，谓语在后。play a part in扮演角色。

41.解析：选D。下文又有新的提议，可知第一个老鼠的建议被大家“拒绝(refused)”了。
42．解析：选B。But这一转折词承接上文的建议——但是“没人(nobody)”知道去哪里买毒药。
43.解析：选A。由本空前“母亲死于猫爪之下”推断：一只小老鼠“咬牙切齿地(an grily)”说。
44.解析：选C。这里指会议没有接受它的“提议(idea)”。
45.解析：选D。从下文它所提的建议以及受到的祝贺可知：它比其它老鼠要“聪明(wiser)”一些。下文的the wise mouse也是提示。
46.解析：选B。从本空后的be quiet判断：它摇动着一只铃铛要大家“静一静(silence)”。
47.解析：选A。只要把铃铛拴在猫的尾巴上，就可以随时知道它在“哪里(where)”。
48.解析：选C。有了这个铃铛做警报，老鼠们就有了逃离的“时间(time)”。
49.解析：选D。年老体弱的伙伴们也能来得及“躲藏(hide)”。

52.解析：选C。尾巴上有了铃铛，它再也别想“蹑手蹑脚地( quietly)”走路了。
53.解析：选D。但是我们还得“决定(decide)”究竟派谁去拴这个铃铛。
54.解析：选A。与本空后的difficult构成对比：想出好办法很“容易(easy)”，但实现它就不那么容易了。
