　　三、阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

　　请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　Somewhere in the world, right now, students are hard at work in school. With over 190 nations spanning(跨越) the globe's 24 time zones, students and their academic years come in a variety of forms. Here's a sampling of the typical school year in 13 nations throughout the world.

　　Students in Australia attend school for 200 days a year. Their school year lasts from late January to mid­December. Since Australia is in the southern hemisphere(半球), it experiences summer while it's winter in the northern hemisphere. Summer vacation for Australian students is from mid­December to late January. Their school year is divided into four terms, with each term lasting 9 to 11 weeks. Students then have two weeks of vacation between each term. The typical schoolday is from 9 a．m. to 3：30 p．m., and lunch is eaten at school. Students are required to attend school for at least eleven years, but they usually attend for twelve years. The average class size is eighteen students and there are about six computers per classroom.

　　School grades in Australia are called years. Kindergarten is the first year of formal schooling, followed by year 1 through year 6；secondary school is from year 7 to year 12. A 6­year­old begins in year one, while an­18­year old finishes school by year 12. From year one to year six, students spend about 12 hours a week working on math and English. Many schools integrate subjects, meaning they combine two or more academic subjects. For instance, say your class is studying coral reefs. A non­integrated approach would have students study coral reels only in science class. An integrated method incorporates math, by taking measurements, for example, and language arts. Students would then use that information to write a report about coral reefs.

　　【语篇大意】　这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了澳大利亚人的教育情况：学制、学时等。

　　Buck did not read the newspapers，or he would have known that trouble was coming，not only for himself，but for every big dog，strong of muscle and with long，warm hair in California.Men had found gold in the Yukon，and these men wanted big，strong dogs to work in the cold and snow of the north.

　　Buck lived at a big house in the sun­kissed Santa Clara valley.Judge Miller's place，it was called.There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house，and a river nearby.In a big place like this，of course，there were many dogs.There were house dogs and farm dogs，but they were not important.Over this great land Buck ruled.Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life.He was not so large—he weighed only one hundred and forty pounds.But he had saved himself by not becoming a mere housedog.Hunting and outdoor delights had kept down the fat and hardened his muscles.He went swimming with Judge Miller's sons，and walking with his daughters.He carried the grandchildren on his back，and he sat at Judge Miller's feet in front of the warm library fire in winter.During the four years，he had a fine pride in himself which came of good living and universal respect.He was king of Judge Miller's place.

　　But this was 1897，and Buck did not know that men and dogs were hurrying to northwest Canada to look for gold.And he did not know that Manuel，one of the gardener's helpers，was in bad need of money for his hobby of gambling (赌博) and for his large family.One day，the Judge was at a meeting and the boys were busy organizing an athletic club.No one saw Manuel and Buck go off on what Buck imagined was merely an evening walk.Only one man saw them arrive at the railway station.This man talked to Manuel，and gave him some money.Then Manuel tied a piece of rope around Buck's neck.

　　Buck had accepted the rope with quiet dignity (自尊)．He had learned to trust in men he knew and to give them credit.But when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger's hands，Buck roared，and was surprised when the rope tightened around his neck，shutting off his breath.In extreme anger，he jumped at the man.The man caught him and suddenly Buck was thrown over on his back.Then the rope tightened cruelly while Buck struggled，his tongue out of his mouth.Never in all his life had he been so badly treated.Never in all his life had he been so angry.For a few moments he was unable to move，and it was easy for the two men to put him into the train.

　　When Buck woke up，the train was still moving.The man was sitting and watching him，but Buck was too quick for him and he bit the man's hand hard.Then the rope was pulled again and Buck had to let go.

　　That evening，the man took Buck to the back room of a bar in San Francisco.The barman looked at the man's hand and trousers covered in blood.

　　“How much are they paying you for this？”he asked.

　　“Only get fifty dollars.”

　　“And the man who stole him—how much did he get？”asked the barman.

　　“A hundred.He wouldn't take less.”

　　“That makes a hundred and fifty.It's a good price for a dog like him.”

　　Buck spent that night in a cage­like box.He could not understand what it all meant.What did they want with him，these strange men？And where were Judge Miller and the boys?

　　The next day Buck was carried in the box to the railway station and put on a train to the north.

　　【语篇大意】 作为一条狗，Buck曾经生活得幸福而自豪，但是后来，他非常信任的Manuel因为钱而把他卖掉，彻底改变了他的命运，使他在身体和精神上受到了双重打击。

　　40．What information about Buck does Paragraph 2 suggest?

　　A．He was satisfied with his life and felt proud of himself.

　　B．He won great respect due to his nice figure and strong muscles.

　　When you have a question about something, where do you go? For many people the answer is simple. They go online to a search engine like Google or Yahoo. But what about people in rural or underdeveloped areas who may have no way to get on the Internet? Luckily, Rose Shuman, a business and international development consultant in California, has found a way for them. Her amazing solution is “Question Box”．

　　Question Box is a service that provides answers—free of charge—for people who cannot search the Internet directly. They might not be able to read, or they simply have no access.

　　Question Box began two years ago in India.People use a metal call box with a push­to­talk button to connect to a live operator, as Rose Shuman explains, “You just push a button, a big green button, and that will connect you directly to our operators who are sitting in front of computers, and speak your language. And you can ask them any sort of question you want, and they'll look it up in English or in Hindi, or whatever the main language is, and translate the answer right back for you.”

　　The service is currently offered in two villages. The latest

　　version of the box uses mobile phone technology and solar panels in case the electrical power fails. Rose Shuman says the aim was to make the box as easy as possible for users.

　　“Rather than try to bring a lot of infrastructure to them and expect them to learn how to use the Internet, the idea was to make a technology that even Grandma could use, figuring that Grandma could probably walk up to a box and push a button，” added Shuman.

　　In April, Question Box expanded to Uganda.Forty community workers with mobile phones connect villagers to call center operators in Kampala.The community workers go around telling people about the service. They wear Tshirts that say “Ask Me.”

　　But Internet service in Uganda proved slow and undependable. So Question Box teamed up with a local technology company to store information on a local server. That way, the researchers in Kampala can quickly search the database for answers when users ask about current events and many other subjects.

　　Rose Shuman continued, “When was Mahatma Gandhi born and how long is the Nile River? What's the tallest mountain? The funniest one I think we got was, ‘Did the pyramids ever move to another place？’， which we found pretty funny. But we did look it up, and they haven't moved.”

　　【语篇大意】　全文介绍了“Question Box”这项服务以及人们对它的看法。

　　44．According to the passage, “Question Box” is a service intended to________.

　　A．help improve the living standard of the people in poor areas

　　B．promote the computer technology

　　C．provide answers raised by the people who have no access to the Internet

　　D．enrich the local people's life

　　解析　答案　C

　　45．Which of the following is true about Question Box according to the passage?

　　A．Uganda is the original place where the service started.

　　B．Some modern technologies have been used for improving the service.

　　C．Question Box won't be able to work if there is no electrical power.

　　D．It was impossible for a grandma to use Question Box.

　　解析　答案　B

　　46．We can learn from the passage that in Uganda________.

　　A．forty call center operators helped make Question Box known to villagers

　　B．it was very convenient for villagers to have access to Internet service

　　C．users are very interested in current events

　　D．a local technology company cooperates with Question Box

　　解析　答案　D

　　47．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

　　A．All the questions asked by people are pretty funny.

　　B．Workers of Question Box know the answer to any question.

　　C．Question Box always tries to answer the questions, no matter how strange.

　　D．Those who asked questions wanted to make progress in their studies.

　　解析　答案　C

　　D

　　Britain's long­term unemployed could be forced to carry out manual work or risk losing their welfare benefits under plans being put forward by the government.The U．S.­style scheme would see the long­term jobless ordered to take up four­week placements in order to get them used to having a full­time job.

　　The idea is part of major reforms, due to be unveiled this week, to make cuts to Britain's huge welfare bill, reduce dependency on benefits and weed out those earning money but not declaring it, papers said.

　　“What we are talking about here is people who have not been used to working having both the opportunity and perhaps a bit more of a push as well, to experience the workplace from time to time. The vast majority of people in Britain will think that is the right thing to do.” Foreign Secretary William Hague told BBC TV.

　　Shortly after the Conservative­Liberal Democrat Union took power in May, Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith unveiled plans to simplify the complex web of benefits available to reduce errors and inefficiencies.

　　Duncan Smith said the system had become regressive and was not giving people the right encouragement to work as many were financially better off unemployed.

　　Under his plans separate benefits for items such as housing, income support or disability will be replaced by a “universal credit” system whereby (靠那个) individual households would get a single welfare payment to ensure those in work would be better off.

　　The Observer newspaper said that in return, long­term unemployed would be told to take up work placements of at least 30 hours a week for a four­week period.

　　If they refuse or fail to complete the programme, their jobseekers' allowance, worth 64.30 pounds a week for those over 25, could be stopped for at least three months.

　　【语篇大意】　由于英国的福利过高，再加上近年来的经济危机造成的高失业率，越来越多的英国人不愿再去劳心费力地工作，干脆赖在家里向政府伸手要钱。当局为了减少养“好逸恶劳者”的经费，出台强制性劳动方案，要求失业的人从事体力工作，以此督促他们积极寻找工作。

　　48．What will the unemployed with welfare benefits face if the major reform takes effect?

　　A．They will lose their welfare benefit if the don't work.

　　B．They will be encouraged to buy their own farms.

　　C．They will do some kinds of jobs.

　　D．Either A or C.

　　解析　答案　C

　　49．What will most British people think of the new reform according to William Hague?

　　A．They are against it since the unemployed are poor.

　　B．They are for it since the unemployed should keep fit.

　　C．They are for it since it's unfair for the employed and unemployed.

　　D．They don't care as there're a few unemployed people having welfare benefit.

　　解析　答案　C

　　50．How can a long­term unemployed save his welfare benefit at least?

　　A．They could be introduced to work in some foreign countries.

　　B．They should work at least thirty hours a week for four weeks.

　　C．They should help neighbors and friends in their spare time.

　　D．They should work for the churches without accepting pay.

　　解析　答案　B

　　51．The underlined word in Paragraph 6 most likely means ________.

　　A．well­received

　　B．far­reaching

　　C．old­fashioned

　　D．live­and­let­live (和平共存的)

　　解析　答案　C

　　E
