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)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
There are two interesting news items in the paper a few years ago.One was about a man who received a bill from the telephone company for $999,999—for three months!The other was about a man who received $2,000 for doing nothing.
The connection between the two news items is simple:computers—the best invention of the twentieth century.The telephone bill came from a computer which made a terrifying mistake:the man’s bill was only $23.36.The other item was not so amusing.A man walked into the unguarded computer room of a large packaged room of company and expertly programmed the computer to pay him $2,000 a month for raw meat which he “supplied”to the company.Of course he never sent the meat,but he certainly received the money.The computer wrote out a bill,and even “signed” it.It was only a random(随便的) check that uncovered the trick.It could be happening in thousands of other companies all over the world.
Computers are not the magic workers that some people say they are.They make mistakes,they are sometimes slower than human beings and they are easily fooled.The US used to conscript(征兵) people with the help of a computer.The army sent out a card,which had to be filled in and sent back.It was easy to avoid being called up(应征入伍) simply by spreading candle—wax on the card.The computer couldn’t read the card,and did nothing with it.
It’s in our everyday life that computers cause many problems.Let’s get back to using people instead of computers,before a mistake that we can’t put right.
56.In the first paragraph we know ________.
A.the paper is telling a lie
B.the first sentence is the topic sentence
C.the two news items made people surprised
D.if a man did nothing at all for the telephone company,he would still get $2,000
57.The man was given $2,000 because ________.
A.the computer made a big mistake
B.he worked very hard
C.he programmed the computer to pay him so much for raw meat
D.his work was very difficult to do and the pay was certainly high
58.The main idea of the second paragraph is ________.
A.computers are magic workers
B.computers can do anything as man
C.computers can write out a bill and even “sign” it
D.computers sometimes also make big mistakes
59.The writer’s main idea is that ________.
A.we’d better use people instead of computers in our everyday life
B.we should not use computers because they always make mistakes
C.computers are widely used in our everyday life
D.if we want to work well,don’t use computers
B
For thousands of years,we have looked for ways to measure time.Early humans found that the regular movements of the sun,the earth,the moon,and the stars made good ways to measure time.The rising and setting of the sun were used to distinguish day from night.
But,eventually,people needed to tell time more accurately,or exactly.So,by using the sun’s position in the sky,they divided the day into dawn,morning,midday and evening.
Then it was noted that the sun cast a changing shadow as it moved across the sky.Time could be told more accurately by setting up a stick and marking the positions of the sun’s shadow.It was the ancient Greeks who divided each position of this “sundial(日晷)” into hours.
But the sun doesn’t always shine.So,for the past 6,000 years,many other ways of keeping time have been tried.Slow burning candles were divided into hours,and the hourglass was invented.When all the sand in the top of an hourglass has shifted to the bottom,an hour has passed.
Later,the pendulum(摆钟),with its regular back and forth movement of weights,was used to move the hands on a clock.Pendulums are still used in grandfather clocks.
Today,even more accurate clocks are in use,such as battery operated quartz clocks,digital clocks,and clocks run by electrical tuning forks and tiny atoms.These atomic clocks are the most accurate clocks ever invented.The exact time can be kept to within 1 second a century.
60.Humans in the old days used ________ to tell day from night.
A.the rising and setting of the sun
B.battery operated quartz clocks
C.atomic clocks
D.digital clocks
61.A sundial works by ________.
A.tracking the movement of the stars around the sun
B.marking a shadow cast by the moving sun
C.burning candles in the sunlight
D.watching the stars
62.Which of the following was NOT used in the past to measure time
A.An hourglass. B.A sundial.
C.Digital clocks. D.A pendulum.
63.Which of the following ways of measuring time is ordered from the least accurate to the most accurate
A.Sundial,pendulum,sun.
B.Atomic clock,quartz clock,sundial.
C.Sun,pendulum,atomic clock.
D.Digital clock,hourglass,slow burning candles.
C
Every part of the United States has special holidays depending on the particular national groups that live in the area.In Hawaii,there are many people of Asian ancestry (祖先,世系).The Asians left rich traditions for these people to follow.Today,Hawaiians honor their ancestors with special feasts and festivals.
For people of Japanese ancestry in Hawaii,the O bon Festival is very special.It’s the ceremonies to honor the dead relatives and friends.They take place in July and August.People gather in the courtyards,dressed in traditional clothes.To the music of drums,men and women perform their native folk dances in honor of the dead.In the evening there are further ceremonies by the seashore.People place paper lanterns on tiny wooden boats,which represent the souls of the dead.They set hundreds of these boats in the water and watch as they float out over the dark ocean.
Chinese Hawaiians celebrate the Moon Festival to honor their ancestors and their native land.They do this in August.Family members gather in a garden or a large open space in the light of the moon.They drink tea and eat delicious moon shaped cakes.The cakes represent an event in Chinese history.A long time ago,the people in China used round cakes in a special way—they sent secret messages to each other in cakes.The messages called for the people of the country to join together to fight against the bad king who ruled them at that time.The trick worked and the people were able to overthrow (推翻) their ruler.
By recalling this event on the Moon Festival,the Chinese people help to keep their traditions alive and their family ties strong.
64.The O bon Festival is held ________.
A.to honor the dead friends and relatives
B.in a garden in the moonlight
C.to recall the brave deeds of their ancestors

A.serious but the people are not too sad
B.very joyful with lots of noise and laughter
C.boring and dull for the people who attend
D.serious and the people are very sad
66.It was said that the ancient Chinese people won their war against the king by ________.
A.sending cakes with meat and sweets to each other
B.filling round cakes with meat and sweets
C.using round cakes to send each other messages
D.making cakes in the shape of the full moon
67.This passage is mainly about ________.
A.interesting holidays in the American Continent

Laptop computers are popular all over the world.People use them on trains and airplanes,in airports and hotels.These laptops connect people to their workplace.In the United States today,laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want.Within five years,each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop.The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake,a 110 year old college.The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet.In addition,they will be able to use e mails to “speak” with their teachers,their classmates and their families.However,the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs.They can work with it at home,in a fast food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology,laptop use in higher education,such as colleges and universities,is workable.As laptops become more powerful,they become more similar than desktop computer.In addition,the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet but also libraries and other resources.State higher education officials are studying how laptops can help students.State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities.
At Westlake College,more than 60 percent of the staff use computers.The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons.As one Westlake teacher said,“Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a_window_of_the_world.They can see everything and do everything.”

B.1,500 students have laptops.
C.It is an old college in America.
D.Students there can do everything.
70.The underlined phrase “a window of the world” in the last paragraph means that students can ________.

How to Make Friends
__71__Indeed, there are many things in life which we alone cannot perform.
We need friends’ help.Friends are people who willingly and readily help us when we are in trouble and show sympathy for us when we are in misery.
__72__For example, when we have passed the graduation examination and are looking for a job, we need experienced and reliable friends to guide us and help us on our way.A good friend is also an adviser because our own points of view towards things may not be always right.__73__
Of course, we can make friends everywhere.However, I think the best place is school, where we are among a big number of boys and girls of our own age, so it is easy to get to know one another in a short time.__74__
In order to make friends, we ourselves must be honest, noble minded and kind hearted whereby to leave a favorable impression on others since other people observe us the same way as we do.
At the same time, we should avoid bad friends, because they always do harm to us and moreover, they are dangerous to the people around.What is even worse, they destroy our friendship with good friends.__75__
A. Indeed, seeking acquaintance with bad friends would be a serious mistake.
B.A faithful friend is hard to find.
C.Therefore, it is necessary for us to seek advice from friends.
D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
E.Besides, we can also make friends among the people who work with us in the community.
F.A proverb says “One man is not good enough to live alone in the world”.
G.The benefits of friendship are boundless and sometimes invisible.

第二节 参考范文
Recently,we had a discussion about surfing the Internet.Students have different opinions.
Most students think it costs a lot of money and it is a waste of time to surfing the Internet in the bar.They have found many students get online only to play computer games.There are even one or two students who are often absent from school for days to spend time on the Internet.
On the other hand,a few students think we can go online at home in our spare time because we can get the newest information both at home and abroad through the Internet.And it is a most convenient way for us to communicate with each other.In a word,the Internet makes our lives outside class colorful.Period Two Language Points

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Personal computers and Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members,but the new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about.I know this from personal experience.
E mail makes it easy to work at home,which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings.My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office.This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends.Say you do something fun—see a great movie perhaps and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it.If you call each one,you may tire of telling the story.
With e mail,you just write one note about your experience,at your convenience,and address it to all the friends you think might be interested.They can read your message when they have time,and read only as they want to.They can reply at their convenience,and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
E mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away.More than a few parents use e mail to keep in touch,even daily touch,with their children at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch.They don’t take the place of any of the ways.
1.The purpose of this passage is to ________.
A.explain how to use the Internet
B.describe the writer’s joy of keeping up with the latest technology
C.tell the value and usefulness of the Internet
D.introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet
2.The use of e mail has made it possible for the writer to ________.
A.spend less time working
B.have more free time with his child
C.work at home on weekends
D.spend more time at the office
3.According to the writer,e mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former helps one ________.
A.reach a group of people at one time conveniently
B.keep one’s communication as personal as possible
C.pass on much more information than the latter
D.get in touch with one’s friends faster than the latter
4.The best title for this passage is ________.
A.Computer:new technological advances
B.Internet:new tool to maintain good friendship
C.Computers have made life easier
D.Internet:a convenient tool for communication
5.According to the passage,which of the following is WRONG
A.Now the writer spends less time at the office.
B.You should read or reply your messages at regular time.
C.E mail helps people far away from each other keep in close touch.
D.Some people spend less time with their family because of the Internet.

Ⅲ.1.C [句意为:1936年我真正的创造者艾伦·图灵写了一本书,这本书是关于怎样才能使我成为一台“通用机器”以便解决任何数学难题的。solve“解决”,符合题意。imagine“想象”;ignore“忽视”;think“想,认为”。]
2.C [由时间状语by the 1940s可知此处应用过去完成时。]

4.D [由时间状语since the 1970s可知此处应用现在完成时,排除A、C两项。I指的是computer,因其与use是被动关系,故用被动语态,因此选D项。]
5.D [此处考查句型:so...that...“如此……以致于……”。]
6.A [I与stand是主谓关系,故第一空用现在分词短语作状语;family与connect是被动关系,故第二空用过去分词短语作后置定语。]

2.B [根据第三段最后一句中“This lets me share more time with my young daughter...”判断选B项。]
3.A [根据第四段第一句“The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends.”确定正确答案为A项。]
4.D [全文主要介绍互联网在通讯中的用途。只有D项最符合题意。]
5.B [根据第五段最后一句“They can reply at their convenience,and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.”可知B项错误。]

Every year when the Italian artist Michelangelo’s (1475~1564) birthday comes around,computer users all over the world are filled with fear and use their computers with care.Some may even choose not to turn on their computers on March 3rd.All this fear and care are just because a deadly computer virus(病毒) is ready to cause damages on that day.
What’s a computer virus then?Why do people get so afraid of it
A computer virus is,in fact,a little program that is put into other programs and that does something bad.It is called a virus because,like any real life viruses such as AIDS virus(艾滋病毒),it reproduces(繁殖) itself.And when these programs are run,the virus is brought to life.It hides itself in your computer system waiting for the right moment to make damages.And at the same time it keeps producing itself by copying itself onto other programs.
The Michelangelo virus waits until the artist’s birthday comes around,and then it will wake up to do very bad things like destroying your files.So next time when you turn on your computer,look out for computer viruses!

The Cars in the Future
In the future,with every family having their own cars,traffic is becoming a big problem.
Therefore,I think there will be little cars in the future,whose size may be one third of today’s cars’ size.If everyone drives little cars in the future,there will be less pollution in the air.And the streets will be less crowded.The little cars can go about 65 kilometers per hour to avoid traffic accidents.This kind of car is only used in the city,but not fit for long trips.So there will also be big cars.And we will have two different kinds of roads for the two different kinds of cars.Period Three Using Language

Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes,fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers.Why read an article in the newspaper,when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures?Why read the life story of a famous man,when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know
Television_has_not_killed_reading,however.Today,newspapers sell in very large numbers.
And books of every kind are sold more than ever before.Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment.Although some books with hard covers are expensive,many books are printed today as paperbacks(平装本),which are quite cheap.A paperback collection of short stories,for example,is always cheaper than an evening program at the cinema or the theater,and you can keep a book forever and read it many times.
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home.Every home should have a good dictionary.A good encyclopedia(百科全书),though expensive,is useful,too,because you can find information on any subject.Besides,you can have such books as history books,science textbooks,cookbooks,and collections of stories and poems.Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.
