Ⅲ．阅读理解
The Amazon River carries rain and snowfall from high in the Andes Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean．Along its journey，the river has created a unique environment that serves people beyond the borders of Brazil．The Amazon River basin is possibly the earth’s most fragile and necessary ecosystem．The basin holds an astonishing 20 percent of the earth’s fresh water，more than the next six largest rivers combined．The flow of the Amazon is so powerful that it dilutes (冲淡) the salt water more than one hundred miles of beyond the coastline．
The Amazon River basin is a rainforest or jungle．It is home to a diversity of life forms found nowhere else on earth．The rainforest includes more than two million species of insects，one hundred thousand plants，two thousand species of fish and six hundred mammals．The basin also has huge reserves of rare metal．The flow of the Amazon River can also be harnessed to provide hydroelectric (水力发电的) power．Trees and vegetation in the basin help to balance CO2 and oxygen．Trees and vegetation use CO2 to make their food and release oxygen into the atmosphere．
The rainforest of the Amazon River basin provides a valuable resource to the entire planet，but it is being destroyed．People are moving into the Amazon basin and clearing the rainforest to build cities．The rainforest is often cleared to create land for feeding cattle．Finally，miners clear the land in order to get its minerals．
The deforestation (砍伐森林) of the Amazon basin may have long reaching effects．When the trees are removed，we reduce the amount of CO2 taken from the air．Some scientists predict that the build up of CO2 will cause global warming．If the temperature of the earth rises，polar ice will melt，which will raise the level of the ocean and possibly，flood south Florida．
1．According to the text，the Amazon River ________．
A．has changed the environment on the Andes Mountains
B．is becoming more and more fragile due to droughts and floods
C．is the source of a fifth of the total amount of freshwater in the world
D．dilutes the salt water of the Pacific Ocean
2．The underlined word “harnessed” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”．
A．moved B．divided C．controlled D．used
3．Paragraph 2 mainly explains ________．
A．why the Amazon River basin is a fragile ecosystem
B．why the Amazon River basin is a necessary ecosystem
C．how the Amazon River basin attracts lives to live there
D．how the Amazon River basin feeds the wildlife there
4．Which of the following is NOT a reason why people destroy the rainforest
A．To build cities． B．To raise cattle．
C．To grow corns． D．To mine．
5．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．The Amazon basin helps CO2 build up．
B．The Amazon basin plays an important role in the climate．
C．The Amazon basin balances the rainfall in the world．
D．The Amazon basin reduces ocean pollution．

Heritage is our legacy from the past，what we live with today，and what we pass on to future generations．Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable (无可取代的) sources of life and inspiration．Places as unique and diverse as the wilds of East Africa’s Serengeti，the Pyramids of Egypt，the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Baroque cathedrals (大教堂) of Latin America make up our world’s heritage．
What makes the concept of World Heritage exceptional is its universal application．World Heritage sites belong to all the people of the world，regardless of the territory on which they are located．
The United Nations Educational，Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification，protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity．This is embodied in an international treaty called the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage，adopted by UNESCO in 1972．
UNESCO’s World Heritage mission is to：
encourage countries to sign the World Heritage Convention and to ensure the protection of their natural and cultural heritage；
encourage States Parties to the Convention to nominate sites within their national territory for inclusion on the World Heritage List；
encourage States Parties to establish management plans and set up reporting systems on the state of conservation of their World Heritage sites；
help States Parties safeguard World Heritage properties by providing technical assistance and professional training；
provide emergency assistance for World Heritage sites in immediate danger；support States Parties’ public awareness building activities for World Heritage conservation；
encourage participation of the local population in the preservation of their cultural and natural heritage；
encourage international cooperation in the conservation of our world’s cultural and natural heritage．

A．building public awareness for World Heritage conservation
B．setting up reporting systems on the state of conservation of their World Heritage sites
C．providing emergency assistance for World Heritage sites in immediate danger

(2011·山东卷·B)Tim Richter and his wife，Linda，had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo，New York—he in computers，she in special education．“Teaching means everything to us，” Tim would say．In April 1998，he learned he would need a heart operation．It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose．
Not long after the surgery，Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library，a program started by Dolly Parton’s foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer’s hometown of Sevier，Tennessee．“I thought，maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire，” Tim recalls．He placed the brochure on his desk，as a reminder．
Five years later，now retired and with that brochure still on the desk，Tim clicked on imagination library．com．The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts．
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters．Rather than sign up online，they went to Dollywood for a look see．“We didn’t want to give the children rubbish，” says Linda．The books—reviewed each year by teachers，literacy specialists and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series．
Satisfied，the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work．Since 2004，they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area．Megan Williams，a mother of four，is more than appreciative：“This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of．”
The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children．“Some people sit there and wait to die，” says Tim．“Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left．”
1．What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life
A．His health problem．
B．His love for teaching．
C．The influence of his wife．
D．The news from the Web．
2．What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library
A．Give out brochures．
B．Do something similar．
C．Write books for children．
D．Retire from being a teacher．
3．According to the text，Dolly Parton is ________．
A．a well known surgeon
B．a mother of a four year old
C．a singer born in Tennessee
D．a computer programmer
4．Why did the Richters go to Dollywood
A．To avoid signing up online．
B．To meet Dollywood board members．
C．To make sure the books were the newest．
D．To see if the books were of good quality．
5．What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph
A．He needs more money to help the children．
B．He wonders why some people are so busy．
C．He tries to save those waiting to die．
D．He considers his efforts worthwhile．

Owned by a local couple，this Persian restaurant has an inviting，homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack．
The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration，but the environment is truly charming．
Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner，the restaurant still attracts all customers，especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking．
A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics，watching news events on TV，drinking a black tea known as Persian chai，and reading local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plates piled with food．
The variety of food at the restaurant is limited，but the amount of each dish is fairly large．Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10，so not only is it affordable but practical as well．
The food，especially appeals to health conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy，made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill(烤肉架)．
The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs，which are different style of grilled meat．
One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob，which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either rice or bread．Another great kabob is the Chelo Kabob，kabob consisting of grilled beef．
Although the restaurant is small，the atmosphere is charming and the food is delicious．It is a place that should not be overlooked．

A
(2011·广东卷·A)In the animal kingdom，weakness can bring about aggression in other animals．This sometimes happens with humans also．But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people．I see it every day when people hold doors for me，pour cream into my coffee，or help me to put on my coat．And I have discovered that it makes them happy．
From my wheelchair experience，I see the best in people，but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily．They don’t get to see this soft side of others．Often we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness，which includes a lot of pretending．But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them．
Last month，when I was driving home on a busy highway，I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual．People behind me began to get impatient and angry，with some speeding up alongside me，horning(按喇叭) or even shouting at me．At that moment，I decided to do something I had never done in twenty four years of driving．I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed．
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights，I was saying to the other drivers，“I have a problem here．I am weak and doing the best I can．”And everyone understood．Several times，I saw drivers who wanted to pass．They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic．But instead of getting impatient and angry，they waited，knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak．
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way．But those are few and far between．More often，it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we’re scared．
1．The author has discovered that people will feel happy when________．
A．they offer their help
B．they receive others’ help
C．they feel others’ kindness
D．they show their weakness
2．The author feels sad sometimes because ________．
A．he has a soft heart
B．he relies much on others
C．some people pretend to be kind
D．some people fail to see the kindness in others
3．What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights
A．They speeded up to pass．
B．They waited with patience．
C．They tried their best to help．
D．They put on their flashlights too．
4．In this passage，the author advises us to ________．
A．handle problems by ourselves
B．accept help from others
C．admit our weakness
D．show our bravery
5．Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A．A Wheelchair Experience
B．Weakness and Kindness
C．Weakness and Strength
D．A Driving Experience

(2011·山东卷·D)Since the 1970s，scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers．Brain computer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines．
Recently，two researchers，Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne，Switzerland，demonstrated(展示)a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts．
In the laboratory，Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand．He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts．
“Our brain has billions of nerve cells．These send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓)to the muscles to give us the ability to move．But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles，” Tavella says．“Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices．”
The researchers designed a special cap for the user．This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer．The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair．The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path．They help the computer react to commands from the brain．
Prof．Millan，the team leader，says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands．“The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories：communication，and controlling devices．One example is this wheelchair．”
He says his team has set two goals．One is testing with real patients，so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from．And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time．
1．BCI is a technology that can ________．
A．help to update computer systems
B．link the human brain with computers
C．help the disabled to recover
D．control a person’s thoughts
2．How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory
A．By controlling his muscles．
B．By talking to the machine．
C．By moving his hand．
D．By using his mind．
3．Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5
A．scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair
B．computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair
C．scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair
D．cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair
4．The team will test with real patients to ________．
A．make profits from them
B．prove the technology useful to them
C．make them live longer
D．learn about their physical condition
5．Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A．Switzerland，the BCI Research Center
B．New Findings about How the Human Brain Works
C．BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled
D．Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries

The holiday shopping season is once again upon us．The super malls and smaller shopping centers will all be packed as hurried Americans search for the perfect gift．The crooks and thieves that prey upon innocent shoppers are well aware of this fact．
Even if you don’t involve yourself with holiday gift buying，you could end up a victim of theft．Thieves do not distinguish the holiday shopper from the everyday shopper．Thieves only know that there are more potential targets of opportunity this time of year．
They also know that many people are complacent (不以为然的) about personal safety issues year round．They’ll factor in the belief that many people take on added stress this time of year while running from store to store with so much to do and so little time to do it．Shoppers who might normally consider personal safety an afterthought push it back even further as they try to negotiate their way through the month of December．College students are not an exception to the rule!
As a member of our university community，you’re also easily influenced by the dangers of mall shopping this time of year．Take a minute and picture any of the local area malls．Close your eyes and think about the overflowing parking lots and the crowds moving around．The sights，sounds and distractions all can lull you into a state of personal safety complacency．
Aside from the shoplifters who steal merchandise from store shelves are the thieves who perpetrate (犯) snatch and grab crimes．And this is the sort of crime that you’re most vulnerable to，especially when you find yourself carrying a large number of shopping bags and packages．However，as is the case with most other types of criminal behavior，there are a number of crime prevention measures you can take to lessen or stop your chances of becoming a victim．So take the time to read and then put into practice the following holiday shopping tips．
1．The author is most probably ________．
A．a newspaper reporter
B．a novelist
C．a member of university community
D．a police spokesman
2．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．Shoppers． B．Thieves．
C．Personal safety issues． D．College students．
3．Why is a person more likely to become a victim of theft during holiday shopping
A．Because he often has much to buy．
B．Because he often does shopping in a hurry．
C．Because there are crowds of shoppers．
D．All of the above．
4．What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage
A．To tell readers different kinds of crimes．
B．To make readers aware of holiday shopping dangers．
C．To give advice on selecting the perfect gift．
D．To introduce American public security situation．
5．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage
A．Holiday Shopping Safety
B．Suitable Shopping Places
C．Personal Safety during Holidays
D．How to Identify a Thief

Ⅲ．阅读理解
An accidental discovery has brought seismologists (地震学家) one step closer to being able to predict earthquakes．As part of an effort to measure underground changes caused by shifts in barometric pressure，a team of researchers found that increases in underground pressure came before earthquakes along California’s San Andreas Fault by as much as 10 hours．If follow up tests confirm these findings，seismologists may eventually be able to provide a few hours’ notice for people to find a safe place before quakes．“Predicting earthquakes is the final goal for seismologists，” says Fenglin Niu，the research team’s lead author and a Rice University seismologist．“This is a start．”
The research team theorizes that the immense amount of pressure building along the Fault causes small cracks within the rock during the final hours before an earthquake，which increases rock density and slows the transmission signals．“The more cracks you have，the slower the seismic velocity (震波速度) will be，” says study co author Paul Silver，a geophysicist with the Carnegie Institution of Washington．Still unknown is whether there is any significance to the fact that the magnitude 3 quake had a much longer pre seismic signal than lower magnitude quakes，or whether it was simply because its magnitude was larger and its epicenter (震中) was closer to the sensors．
If scientists can flesh out the new findings during future earthquakes—a two year study at the same seismically active location begins this September—it could form the basis of a vastly improved early warning system for quakes．Current earthquake warning systems give just a few seconds’ notice because they detect only P waves，the fast moving seismic waves that precede the more destructive waves released during a quake．Upgrading to a seismic stress meter，however，is still a long way off．
1．The author wrote this passage to tell us something about ________．
A．a traditional way of predicting earthquakes
B．the importance of predicting earthquakes
C．a new way of predicting earthquakes
D．the damages caused by horrible earthquakes
2．According to the passage，we can infer that the traditional way of predicting earthquakes ________．
A．costs much more than the new one
B．produces accurate information
C．does not provide enough time for people to escape
D．is less accurate than the new one
3．The new way mentioned in the passage predicts earthquakes by ________．
A．measuring the changes of the P waves
B．looking for the epicenter closest to the sensors
C．watching the movements of rocks above the ground
D．measuring the pressure underneath the ground
4．Which of the following factors probably will NOT influence the pre seismic signal
A．The weather in the earthquake area．
B．The magnitude of the earthquake．
C．The position of the sensors．
D．The position of the epicenter．
5．According to the last paragraph，we learn that ______．
A．the new discovery will be put into use soon
B．a vastly improved early warning system has been formed
C．the new discovery will be tested in the future
D．the current earthquake warning systems are not useful
