第三部分：阅读理解（每小题2分，共32分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some of some form---football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks（冒险） in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure（闲暇）.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man—made rules as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore（忽视）, but it is this freedom from man—made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
36. What movements are popular among people in winter in the passage?
A. Soccer and golf B. Skiing and skating C. Cycling and hockey D. Mountaineering
37.The word “passion” in Paragraph2 could best be replaced by ______.
A. strong feeling B. dislike C. interest D. pleasure
38.We know from the text that___________
A. Mountaineering is a match between climbers.
B. Mountaineering is similar to other sports in many ways.
C. Climbers work like a team when their lives may depend on a rope.
D. Climbers help each other in time of difficulty.
39.It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A. people show interest in mountaineering because it is a team game
B. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbers
C. a mountain climber would pass his best by the ago of thirty
D. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps
B
Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And up to now, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.
40. What does "these two killers" in the second paragraph refer to?
A. gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.
B. The two murderers who killed the cloned baby
C The two diseases of cancer and heart disease
D. Hereditary diseases and cancer
41.What's the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.
B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.
C. Gene technology can help people to give birth to a baby.
D. Gene technology can help the English imperial family out
42. Which of the following belongs to hereditary diseases?
A. cold B. toothache C. some kinds of heart diseases D. Sars
43.What is the main purpose of writing this passage?
A. Expressing the writer's idea that gene technology will benefit people
B. Telling people the advantages of gene technology
C. Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people
D. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity
C
When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we can’t see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.
People who are farsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly in the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts(白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
When night falls, colors become fainter to the eye and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the sides of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can’t see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.
44. We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ________.
A. we think about our eyes
B. we can’t see clearly
C. we wear glasses
D. we have to do much reading
45. According to the passage, who is more likely to be nearsighted?
A. A tailor. B. A doctor. C. A guard. D. A painter.
46. People who are farsighted ________.
A. can’t do a lot of close work without glasses
B. can only see things that are very close to their eyes
C. have difficulty in reading a book if they hold it at arm’s length
D. have the same problem as the nearsighted people
47. To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ________.
A. with wide open eyes
B. with half-shut or narrowed eyes
C. straight at it
D. at it indirectly
D
Dogs are known for their sense of smell. They can find missing people and things like bombs and illegal drugs. Now a study suggests that the animal known as man's best friend can even find bladder (膀胱)cancer.
Cancer cells are thought to produce chemicals with unusual odors(气味). Researchers think dogs have the ability to smell these odors, even in very small amounts, in urine(尿). The sense of smell in dogs is thousands of times better than in humans.
The study follows reports of cases where, for example, a dog showed great interest in a growth on the leg of its owner. The man was later found to be skin cancer.
Carolyn Willis led a team of researchers at Amersham Hospital in England. They trained different kinds of dogs for the experiment. The study involved urine collected from bladder cancer patients, from people with other diseases and from healthy people.
Each dog was tested 8 times. In each test there were 7 samples for the dogs to smell. The dog was supposed to signal the one from a bladder cancer patient by lying down next to it. Two cocker dogs were correct 56 percent of the time. But the Scientists reported an average success rate of 41 percent.
The British Medical Journal published the research. In all, 36 bladder cancer patients and 108 other people took part. During training, all the dogs reportedly even identified（认出）a cancer in a person who had tested healthy before the study. Doctors found a growth on the person's right kidney.
Carolyn Willis says dogs could help scientists identify the combined chemicals produced by bladder cancer. That information could then be used to develop machines to test for the chemicals. The team also plans to use dogs to help identify markers for other kinds of cancer.
Bladder cancer is the ninth most common cancer worldwide. The International Agency for Research on Cancer says this disease kills more than 100,000 people each year. Doctors say cigarette smoking is the leading cause of bladder cancer
48． What’s the general idea of the text?
dogs have a good sense of smell
dogs can help cure cancer
dogs can smell cancer
dogs help perform experiments
49. According to the text, people who suffer bladder cancer_____
often have small urine with unusual smell
probably smoke cigarettes in their life
can easily make dogs lie down
are likely to die within nine years
50 The underlined word ”involved” in the text is closet in meaning to ____
A. showed B. proved C. used D. preferred
51. We can learn from the text that _____
dogs can even smell cancer in a healthy person before the test
In the test about 60 cancer patients are found out by the dogs.
The dogs in the test didn’t make a single mistake.
D. Machines to test for the chemicals have been developed after the experiment

Now we’re always hearing about road accident, and when we’re in a car we try to drive carefully, but how many of us take the same degree of care in our homes? Any large hospital will tell you the number of the accidents that happen in the home is almost the same as those on the road.
One of the commonest and most dangerous causes of home accidents is wrong and careless use of electrical equipment. People will continue to use a loose plug or pull out a plug without first turning off the power. In spite of warnings. one will carry an electric heater into the bathroom when he is going to have a bath. Sometimes one forgets to cut off the power before mending a lamp or something else. All this will cause accidents. So the rule about anything that work by electricity is: Switch off before you touch anything and don’t pretend you know when you actually don’t.
If you’ve got children in the house, It’s always best to keep medicines of any kind out of their reach. Otherwise. They may be taken for candies or a new kind of drink. When there are older people living with you, you have to take particular care in a number of ways in order to make them safe and happy.
Fire, of course, is always a risk. So, remember not to dry clothes in front of fires, or leave stoves in the middle of rooms where they can easily be knocked over. And don’t forget to keep the children away from fire. Smoking, too, may cause fire. So you’d better give it up. Safety first may mean a little more time and care, but it may save you a lot of trouble.
52. According to the writer, we try to drive carefully in a car while _____
A. we take the same degree of care in our homes
B. We don’t care much about the accidents in large hospitals
C. We don’t pay enough attention to home accidents
D. We seldom think a lot about the road accidents
53. We can learn from the text that ____________
A. people should never be allowed to carry an electric heater into the bathroom
B. the improper use of the electrical equipment is the most dangerous cause of home accidents
C. people should cut off the power first before using the electrical equipment
D. both the children and the older people should be taken special care of at home
54. It can be inferred in the text that our life at home will be much safer if ________
A. we know more about the accidents that happen in the home
B. all of us give up smoking as soon as possible
C. we take more time and care in our life
D. we keep the stoves at the corner of the rooms
55. The main purpose of writing the text is______
to tell how and why home accidents happen
to persuade people to get rid of bad habits
to explain how to use electrical equipment
to instruct people how to prevent home accidents

Dear sir,
I’m writing to request a valuable chance to be one of the host families for the American students. We have a large and clean house, which lies in a beautiful area of the city. I’m good at English and my parents are both professors of English, so I’m sure we won’t have any difficulty communicating with English speakers. My father is an excellent driver and we will be very glad to show foreign students around some nearby places of interest in our own car. Last month we received two British students. We had a great time. Besides, my mother cooks well, so the students will be able to enjoy delicious Chinese food. I would be very glad if I could have the chance to make friends with them.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Ping
