第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40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
On Saturday, February 12, 2000, two things happened that changed everything in my life. The first was that on this day my baby sister was married. She was twenty-six this day, and yet to me she was still my baby sister.
?I was happy that day, and also sad. Gone were the days of me bossing her around and telling her what she should do with her life. My bossy behavior had earned me the nickname Lucy. If you are a Peanuts fan, then you can clearly imagine my behavior as an older sister. To me it wasn't an insult(侮辱); I rather like the nickname Lucy. I happen to think that Lucy is strong and has incredible self-confidence, although she is a little overbearing at times. I did my best to live up to the standards set forth by this dynamic cartoon character.
?I left the reception to get some air because suddenly I was overcome with grief at the realization that I was no longer a child. I'm not sure how long I sat there before my sister came and joined me. We talked about how we are grown up now and shed a few tears for our childhood days gone by. As she wiped a tear from my eye she lovingly said, "you'll always be Lucy to me." We hugged.
?My cousin Mike walked over and told my sister that it was time to cut the cake. And then he dropped bomb number two on me. "Hey, did you guys hear that Charles Schultz died today?" He said it like it was no big deal.
?Dead? How could Charles Schultz be dead? He was my creator! And though I have never met the man personally, he has always been like an invisible father to me. He did, after all, fashion a famous character after me. I lost so many things on this day. Innocence slipped away from me like a thief in the night: come and gone before I could do anything about it, taking with it all the treasures that I held most valuable in my heart. I felt myself grow up, all in one moment.
Reality rushed in around me like a hurricane tide. There was nowhere to run to. All I could do was sit there and watch it destroy and reshape what had existed only a moment before. I was no longer a child. I was no longer Lucy who knew what was best for everyone else. I allowed the tide to carry my sadness out with it. Take it out to sea, for it serves no purpose in my life. I stood up from the bench; a little taller than I was when I sat down. I turned and headed back to the hall, hoping I didn't miss the cutting of the cake. It was the day my sister grew wings of her own and left the nest. It was the day that Lucy died, and I was born.
56. The two things that changed the writer’s life are ________.
A. her sister’s marriage and Charles Schultz’s death
B. her being given the nickname Lucy and her best friend’s death
C. her sister’s marriage and Lucy’s death
D. her sister’s twenty-sixth birthday and her daughter’s birth
57. Why did the writer get the nickname Lucy?
A. Because she looked like the cartoon character.
B. Because she acted like the cartoon character.
C. Because she was a fan of the cartoon film.
D. Because she was of an age with the cartoon character.
58. From the last paragraph we can come to a conclusion that ______.
A. The writer was completely disappointed at her loss of so much
B. The writer regretted very much that she was getting old so fast
C. The writer realized how important she was to her sister
D. The writer felt it no use just regretting for the past
59. The underlined word “boss” in the passage most probably means ______.
A. own B. protect C. give orders D. make happy
B
Dirty plastic bags are being transformed into best-loved fashion accessories(装饰物) and handy household goods under a bold recycling project in the Indian capital. Aside from expensive women’s handbags, the project, being driven by the Conserve nongovernmental environmental group, is producing in large amounts file folders, shoe-racks, storage boxes, table mats and coasters. “It’s effective waste management while providing a section of the urban poor with a means of livelihood,” said Anita Ahuja, one of the brains(智囊) behind Conserve. Launched in 1988, the NGO focused on projects such as recycling household waste into compost(肥料) before moving into recycling plastics about two years ago. The recycling process begins with rag pickers, who collect plastic bags from the 600 tons of waste produced by Delhi’s 14 million population. “of this 20 to 25 percent waste is plastic,” said Ahuja’s husband Shalabh, her partner at Conserve. When enough bags have been collected, they have to be cleaned. The bags are then sorted according to their colors, prints and thicknesses. The next step is feeding them into a machine which melts them into colorful plastic sheets of varying thicknesses. The sheets are made into various products, the most popular of which are file covers. The products are mostly designed by foreign volunteers, led by Russian freelance designer Ekaterina Lopoukhina. One of the employees said she was happy with her work. Besides being a source of income, she said her work was slowly creating awareness about pollution caused by plastics in her neighbourhood.
60. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Plastics into Gold
B. How to Recycle Plastics
C. Environmental Protection
D. A Good Way to Make a Living
61. According to the text, the proper order of plastic recycling process is ______.
a. feed the bags into a machine

A. d—b—c—f—e—a
B. b—d—c—a—f—e
C. a—c—e—d—b—f
D. b—c—a—d—e—f
62. How much waste plastic is there in the daily produced waste in New Delhi?
A. More than a half of it.
B. Almost all of it.
C. 60 tons at most
D. Between 120~150 tons

Imagine for a moment what it would be like if all the markets, clothing stores, schools, doctors and other things just disappeared. Imagine that there were no neighborhoods or towns. What would life be like? The early settlers of this country didn’t know the luxury of having all these things.
The Spanish women who came with their families from Mexico to New Mexico long ago faced a life that was especially hard. They found nothing but empty country. The Spanish settlers formed towns and set up ranches. Women had key roles in this society. They served as doctors and teachers. They made many of the things they needed, including all their clothing. It was the wife of the head of the ranch, to whom the workers came with news both good and bad.
She was the first to learn of births and deaths, sicknesses or other misfortunes. The ranches and towns were far from any medical doctors. The women used their knowledge of plant medicine, passed down from mother to daughter, to gather and use plants from the mountains. Some women were midwives and delivered babies born in the area.
Some of the women added new discoveries to their knowledge of healing of old. For example, when smallpox broke out in the village of La Liedre, the wife of the head of the ranch tried to help the villagers with the newly discovered medicine. The people were very superstitious and didn’t want to try this new medicine. So she became godmother to many of the village children. Her value to the health and safety of the village was exactly a matter of life and death.
68. Life in Mexico’s early days ______.
A. centered around the mountains B. required lots of luxuries
C. was easy for most people D. had no modern conveniences
69. The women practiced medicine because ______.
A. doctors were far away B. villages had too many babies
C. they couldn’t afford doctors D. the men were unable to
70. People first refused smallpox medicine ______.
A. as it was unnecessary B. because it cost too much
C. in fear of something new D. because smallpox wasn’t serious
71. The main idea of this passage is that women in early Spanish settlements ______.
A. faced a hard life B. had important, life-saving roles
C. had to treat smallpox D. moved with their families frequently
E
An Australian inventor has designed and built an environmentally friendly ferry（渡船） that uses solar and wind power to transport people around Sydney Harbor. Robert Dane and his Solar Sailor were given the top prize at the Australian Design Awards recently.
The Solar Sailor has been in use for six months. It uses four sources of energy for its power — solar, wind, battery power with stored solar energy and a fuel generator（发电机） in store all controlled by computers. The ferry can travel up to 7.5 knots on just wind and solar power. It’s solar wings and fiberglass solar panels（太阳电池板）? which not only take in sunlight and store it in batteries, but also act as sails.
“We angle（调整角度） our solar panels to the sun in two planes（面）, which increases the amount of energy we get from the sun by 40 percent,” Dane says. “And also we can use that same structure to do another job, which is also the sail, and so these wing sails actually push the ferry forward just like a soft sail does.”
Computers check the sun and wind and angle the solar wings to take in the most sunlight. If there isn’t much wind or it is a cloudy day, energy stored in the batteries runs the electric motor for up to five hours.
“If the batteries are too low, then the computer turns the generator on so the boat is always able to meet a commercial schedule, or get from point A to point B no matter what,” Dan explains. ??? Dane got his idea for the Solar Sailor from a book on insects. He was amazed how insects use their wings to collect solar energy to warm themselves.
“When I read that, I realized there was a good example in nature for what we were going to do, which was to use a solar wing to collect solar energy and also to sail,” he says.
72. What is the Solar Sailor?
A. A sailor who is good at using solar energy.
B. An Australian inventor.?
C. A ferry that uses solar and wind power.
D. A new type of generator designed by Dane.
73. We can learn from the passage ______.
A. the ferry sails at a speed of 7.5 kilometers an hour?
B. the ferry is good for the environment
C. four sources of energy for the ferry are controlled by Dane?
D. solar energy needn’t be stored in case of good weather 74. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Dane got his idea for the ferry from a book.
B. That insects use their wings to collect solar energy gave Dane the idea.
C. If the batteries are too low, the ferry travels a little more slowly.??
D. Solar wings and fiberglass solar panels can also act as sails.
75. What is the purpose of writing this article?
A. To praise the designer Robert Dane.
B. To make an advertisement.
C. To tell us to learn from nature.
D. To introduce a new invention.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40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
On Saturday, February 12, 2000, two things happened that changed everything in my life. The first was that on this day my baby sister was married. She was twenty-six this day, and yet to me she was still my baby sister.
?I was happy that day, and also sad. Gone were the days of me bossing her around and telling her what she should do with her life. My bossy behavior had earned me the nickname Lucy. If you are a Peanuts fan, then you can clearly imagine my behavior as an older sister. To me it wasn't an insult(侮辱); I rather like the nickname Lucy. I happen to think that Lucy is strong and has incredible self-confidence, although she is a little overbearing at times. I did my best to live up to the standards set forth by this dynamic cartoon character.
?I left the reception to get some air because suddenly I was overcome with grief at the realization that I was no longer a child. I'm not sure how long I sat there before my sister came and joined me. We talked about how we are grown up now and shed a few tears for our childhood days gone by. As she wiped a tear from my eye she lovingly said, "you'll always be Lucy to me." We hugged.
?My cousin Mike walked over and told my sister that it was time to cut the cake. And then he dropped bomb number two on me. "Hey, did you guys hear that Charles Schultz died today?" He said it like it was no big deal.
?Dead? How could Charles Schultz be dead? He was my creator! And though I have never met the man personally, he has always been like an invisible father to me. He did, after all, fashion a famous character after me. I lost so many things on this day. Innocence slipped away from me like a thief in the night: come and gone before I could do anything about it, taking with it all the treasures that I held most valuable in my heart. I felt myself grow up, all in one moment.
Reality rushed in around me like a hurricane tide. There was nowhere to run to. All I could do was sit there and watch it destroy and reshape what had existed only a moment before. I was no longer a child. I was no longer Lucy who knew what was best for everyone else. I allowed the tide to carry my sadness out with it. Take it out to sea, for it serves no purpose in my life. I stood up from the bench; a little taller than I was when I sat down. I turned and headed back to the hall, hoping I didn't miss the cutting of the cake. It was the day my sister grew wings of her own and left the nest. It was the day that Lucy died, and I was born.
56. The two things that changed the writer’s life are ________.
A. her sister’s marriage and Charles Schultz’s death
B. her being given the nickname Lucy and her best friend’s death
C. her sister’s marriage and Lucy’s death
D. her sister’s twenty-sixth birthday and her daughter’s birth
57. Why did the writer get the nickname Lucy?
A. Because she looked like the cartoon character.
B. Because she acted like the cartoon character.
C. Because she was a fan of the cartoon film.
D. Because she was of an age with the cartoon character.
58. From the last paragraph we can come to a conclusion that ______.
A. The writer was completely disappointed at her loss of so much
B. The writer regretted very much that she was getting old so fast
C. The writer realized how important she was to her sister
D. The writer felt it no use just regretting for the past
59. The underlined word “boss” in the passage most probably means ______.
A. own B. protect C. give orders D. make happy
B
Dirty plastic bags are being transformed into best-loved fashion accessories(装饰物) and handy household goods under a bold recycling project in the Indian capital. Aside from expensive women’s handbags, the project, being driven by the Conserve nongovernmental environmental group, is producing in large amounts file folders, shoe-racks, storage boxes, table mats and coasters. “It’s effective waste management while providing a section of the urban poor with a means of livelihood,” said Anita Ahuja, one of the brains(智囊) behind Conserve. Launched in 1988, the NGO focused on projects such as recycling household waste into compost(肥料) before moving into recycling plastics about two years ago. The recycling process begins with rag pickers, who collect plastic bags from the 600 tons of waste produced by Delhi’s 14 million population. “of this 20 to 25 percent waste is plastic,” said Ahuja’s husband Shalabh, her partner at Conserve. When enough bags have been collected, they have to be cleaned. The bags are then sorted according to their colors, prints and thicknesses. The next step is feeding them into a machine which melts them into colorful plastic sheets of varying thicknesses. The sheets are made into various products, the most popular of which are file covers. The products are mostly designed by foreign volunteers, led by Russian freelance designer Ekaterina Lopoukhina. One of the employees said she was happy with her work. Besides being a source of income, she said her work was slowly creating awareness about pollution caused by plastics in her neighbourhood.
60. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Plastics into Gold
B. How to Recycle Plastics
C. Environmental Protection
D. A Good Way to Make a Living

Imagine for a moment what it would be like if all the markets, clothing stores, schools, doctors and other things just disappeared. Imagine that there were no neighborhoods or towns. What would life be like? The early settlers of this country didn’t know the luxury of having all these things.
The Spanish women who came with their families from Mexico to New Mexico long ago faced a life that was especially hard. They found nothing but empty country. The Spanish settlers formed towns and set up ranches. Women had key roles in this society. They served as doctors and teachers. They made many of the things they needed, including all their clothing. It was the wife of the head of the ranch, to whom the workers came with news both good and bad.
She was the first to learn of births and deaths, sicknesses or other misfortunes. The ranches and towns were far from any medical doctors. The women used their knowledge of plant medicine, passed down from mother to daughter, to gather and use plants from the mountains. Some women were midwives and delivered babies born in the area.
Some of the women added new discoveries to their knowledge of healing of old. For example, when smallpox broke out in the village of La Liedre, the wife of the head of the ranch tried to help the villagers with the newly discovered medicine. The people were very superstitious and didn’t want to try this new medicine. So she became godmother to many of the village children. Her value to the health and safety of the village was exactly a matter of life and death.
68. Life in Mexico’s early days ______.
A. centered around the mountains B. required lots of luxuries
C. was easy for most people D. had no modern conveniences
69. The women practiced medicine because ______.
A. doctors were far away B. villages had too many babies
C. they couldn’t afford doctors D. the men were unable to
70. People first refused smallpox medicine ______.
A. as it was unnecessary B. because it cost too much
C. in fear of something new D. because smallpox wasn’t serious
71. The main idea of this passage is that women in early Spanish settlements ______.
A. faced a hard life B. had important, life-saving roles
C. had to treat smallpox D. moved with their families frequently

An Australian inventor has designed and built an environmentally friendly ferry（渡船） that uses solar and wind power to transport people around Sydney Harbor. Robert Dane and his Solar Sailor were given the top prize at the Australian Design Awards recently.
The Solar Sailor has been in use for six months. It uses four sources of energy for its power — solar, wind, battery power with stored solar energy and a fuel generator（发电机） in store all controlled by computers. The ferry can travel up to 7.5 knots on just wind and solar power. It’s solar wings and fiberglass solar panels（太阳电池板）? which not only take in sunlight and store it in batteries, but also act as sails.
“We angle（调整角度） our solar panels to the sun in two planes（面）, which increases the amount of energy we get from the sun by 40 percent,” Dane says. “And also we can use that same structure to do another job, which is also the sail, and so these wing sails actually push the ferry forward just like a soft sail does.”
Computers check the sun and wind and angle the solar wings to take in the most sunlight. If there isn’t much wind or it is a cloudy day, energy stored in the batteries runs the electric motor for up to five hours.
“If the batteries are too low, then the computer turns the generator on so the boat is always able to meet a commercial schedule, or get from point A to point B no matter what,” Dan explains. ??? Dane got his idea for the Solar Sailor from a book on insects. He was amazed how insects use their wings to collect solar energy to warm themselves.
“When I read that, I realized there was a good example in nature for what we were going to do, which was to use a solar wing to collect solar energy and also to sail,” he says.
72. What is the Solar Sailor?
A. A sailor who is good at using solar energy.
B. An Australian inventor.?
C. A ferry that uses solar and wind power.
D. A new type of generator designed by Dane.
73. We can learn from the passage ______.
A. the ferry sails at a speed of 7.5 kilometers an hour?
B. the ferry is good for the environment
C. four sources of energy for the ferry are controlled by Dane?
D. solar energy needn’t be stored in case of good weather 74. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Dane got his idea for the ferry from a book.
B. That insects use their wings to collect solar energy gave Dane the idea.
C. If the batteries are too low, the ferry travels a little more slowly.??
D. Solar wings and fiberglass solar panels can also act as sails.
75. What is the purpose of writing this article?
A. To praise the designer Robert Dane.
B. To make an advertisement.
C. To tell us to learn from nature.
D. To introduce a new invention.

Dear parents,
Now I know clearly that you both are expecting me anxiously. I can say nothing but thanks to you both on this special occasion, because words have failed me when I want to express my thanks to you both for the loving care you have shown for me, especially since I went to Senior Three. These days I have been studying hard and have made some progress. And everything has got along well with my college entrance examination. I have performed my ability in this exam. I hope you both can set your mind at rest.
After this exam, I intend to help you do some housework, which I have seldom done before. And I also mean to learn to cook in order to prepare a dinner for you both in person.
?? My dear parents, everything is going on well with me and do have a rest!
??? Best wishes,
Yours
