　　三、阅读理解(共20小题；每小题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

　　Greg Evans started to study film at Ryerson University, but had a change of heart and switched to social work at George Brown College in second year. Yet the college recognized only one of Evans' general­interest credits from Ryerson, and also made him take English all over again although he had passed it at university.

　　“So I spent time and money taking a course I had already taken before, which took up time I could have been working another shift every week，” complained Evans. “The system really needs to change.”Evans was part of a chorus of Ontario students Monday cheering a new $ 73.7 million five­year plan to help students switch from college to university, and vice versa.

　　After years of urging from students, Queen's Park unveiled a new Credit Transfer Innovation Fund to provide student advisers, an interactive website and orientation programs to help students move back and forth between the more hands­on courses of community college to the often broader academic focus of a university degree. “We hear horror stories about students who can't get recognition from one institution for a very similar course at another, and in one case I believe the same professor was teaching them both，” noted Milloy after announcing the new fund.

　　Individual colleges and universities have hammered out nearly 500 mutual deals to honor each other's credits in certain courses, but the province wants more, especially between clusters of post­secondary institutions. It will require each school to set targets for more credit­transfer agreements, and link these increases to provincial funding.

　　More than 4,000 college graduates transfer(转学) to university in Ontario every year­twice as many as eight years ago, noted Justin Fox, president of the College Student Alliance. Yet Ontario universities and colleges have been cautious about transferring credits, in part to avoid duplicating each other's courses, noted Bonnie Patterson, president of the Council of Ontario Universities, who welcomed the increased flexibility.

　　【语篇解读】　当学生从大学转到学院后，以前的学分几乎不被学院承认，由此引发了教育制度的改革。在一项新的五年计划中，学生可以灵活地在大学和学院之间转学。

　　36．What happened when Greg Evans switched to social work at George Brown College?

　　A．He was considered to be unqualified for social work.

　　B．His previous credits were not all recognized.

　　C．He wasn't able to get enough credits.

　　D．His English didn't reach the required standard.

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。第一段第二句的前半部分提到学院只承认他以前所在大学的大众学分的一种，由此可知他以前的学分并非都被承认。]

　　37. With the new $73.7 million five­year plan, students can________.

　　A．get enough money to go to university

　　B．switch between colleges and universities

　　C．get enough general­interest credits

　　D．have a wise choice of courses

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句可知这个五年计划的目的是帮助学生在学院与大学之间转学。]

　　38．According to Paragraph 3, Milloy believes ________.

　　A．it is time that the system was changed

　　B．the same professor can't teach in different schools

　　C．students should focus on their chosen courses

　　D．the students' stories are horrible

　　答案　A　[推理判断题。根据第三段后半部分中Milloy所说的话可推知他认为以前的制度需要改变。]

　　39．Ontario universities and colleges have been cautious about transferring credits partly to________.

　　A．avoid accepting unqualified students

　　B．keep their similar courses

　　C．prevent courses from becoming similar

　　D．attract famous professors

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。根据最后一段后半部分中的“...in part to avoid copying each other's courses. ..，可知大学和学院在转换学分方面一直非常谨慎，在某种程度上是为了避免课程雷同。]

　　B

　　Late that afternoon I took the train back to Sydney. There I found another surprise waiting for me. My room had been given to somebody else and they had no room for me. Harkin had known my travel plans and had arranged everything; how could he have booked the room only for three days? There was nothing to be done but to find another hotel. The waiters were happy to find me a new hotel, and when I said that I was happy to stay at the Airport, thinking it might be cheaper than staying in the city, they suggested the Holiday Inn at the airport. There was one small matter: the room rate was $300 per night. The best hotel in Katoomba had wanted only$145. I asked if there were anything cheaper they might suggest but they warned that most hotels would already be full by this time.

　　The hotel was far from the train station, so I'd best take a taxi, at $25. On the way to the Holiday Inn, we passed a hotel just two blocks from the Holiday Inn that advertised a room rate of $104. At the desk I asked if their room rate could go down a lot. “No, this is a 4­star hotel，”the waiter told me. “In that case，” I replied, “I'll just walk the two blocks to the cheap hotel.”But she warned me that they were probably full and that if I didn't take the room, it might not be available if I came back. Finally，I decided to take the room.

　　The room itself was big, but the air conditioning couldn't keep up with the Australian heat. I couldn't get to sleep until about 1：00 am.

　　【语篇解读】　文章讲述了作者在澳洲因预订房间的期限已到而不得不艰难地再找旅店的经历。

　　40．Why did the writer have to look for another hotel?

　　A．He didn't book early.

　　B．Harkin made a mistake.

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的Harkin had known my travel plans and had planned everything.

　　How could he have booked the room only for three days？可知，Harkin犯了一个错误，房间预订的时间比计划短了。]

　　41．How did the writer feel when hearing the room rate at the Holiday Inn?

　　A．Nervous.B．Happy.

　　C．Surprised.D．Relaxed.

　　答案　C　[推理判断题。根据第一段中的There was one small matter：the room rate was

　　$300 per night...The best hotel in Katoomba had wanted only $145可推断作者感到惊奇。]

　　42．What was the weather like at that moment?

　　A．Cool.B．Warm.

　　C．Cold.D．Hot.

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的The room itself was big，but the air conditioning couldn't keep up with the Australian heat.可知，当时的天气很热。]

　　43．Why did the writer take a room in the Holiday Inn finally?

　　A．It's a 4­star hotel.

　　B．It' s around the station.

　　C．It was mid­night then.

　　D．The room was in great demand.

　　答案　D　[推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的…they were probably full and that if I didn't take the room, it might not be available when I came back.可知，应选D项。]

　　C

　　BIG storms. High waves. Technical failures. Loneliness. After battling hard times and danger for over nine months, British teenager Mike Perham made history last month as the youngest person to sail solo (单独地) around the world.

　　The 17­year­old made the record after he cleared the Panama Canal (巴拿马运河) and then sailed through the Caribbean and home across the Atlantic.

　　Mike is only three months younger than Zac Sunderland，the 17­year­old Amencan boy who had taken the crown as the youngest solo around­the­world sailor in July.

　　The two youngsters met in Cape Town in South Africa as they crossed the globe in different directions. Mike insisted they were not rivals (竞争对手).

　　“ No.

　　It's two teenagers going out there, living their dream and having the adventure of a lifetime, ”

　　he said.

　　Mike may he young, but he is no stranger to sailing adventures.

　　He picked up the hobby at age 6 when his father took him out in a small boat on a local lake.

　　Father and son sailed separate boats across the Atlantic when Mike was 14, making him the youngest person to cross that ocean solo. That record gave him the taste for this even greater challenge.

　　On the recent journey, the scariest moment for Mike came when his sailboat was hit by storms in the southern Indian Ocean.

　　“We were picked up by what felt like a 60­foot wave and throw down on our side at 90 degrees，” he said.

　　It felt like I was going right over.

　　Stuff was flying around and I just thought‘Oh，no'.

　　At other times, he had to dive into the Pacific and fix problems. He tied himself to the boat, jumped into the water and went to work with a knife in 30­second dives underneath the boat to cut a rope away.

　　Mike said he felt proud that he made his dream come true.“You've got to have confidence in yourself that you will make it，” he said.

　　【语篇解读】　英国少年Mike Perham历尽艰险，成为当今世界上最年轻的孤帆环游世界的人。

　　45．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

　　A．Mike Perham crossed the Panama Canal.

　　B．Mike and Zac took the crown as the youngest solo around­the­world sailor at the same age.

　　C．The two youngsters crossed the globe in different directions.

　　D．Mike was never frightened during the sailing.

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。从第二段的”The 17­year­old made the record after he crossed the Panama Canal”可知A项正确；从第三段的内容可知，B项正确；从第四段的“The two youngsters met in Cape Town in South Africa as they crossed the globe in different directions”可知C项正确。由第六段中的the scariest moment for Mike可知D项不符合文章内容。]

　　46．What does the underlined word “taste” in the fifth paragraph mean?

　　A．Savor.B．Preference.　

　　C．Experience.D．Ability.

　　答案　C　[词义猜测题。根据上文的“Father and son sailed separate boats across the Atlantic when Mike was 14, making him the youngest person to cross that ocean solo”可知，此处的taste应该是“体验”的意思，故选C项。]

　　47．What can we infer from the passage?

　　A．Both Mike and Zac have adventurous spirits.

　　B．Zac is older than Mike.

　　C．Both Mike and Zac realized their dream.

　　D．Mike took up the hobby of sailing adventures at 6.

　　Coffee has a history dating back to at least the 9th century and has been a catalyst for social interaction across cultures and eras. Originally discovered in Ethiopia, coffee beans were brought into the Middle East by Arab traders, spreading to Egypt, Yemen, Persia, Turkey, and North Africa by the 15th century. Muslim merchants eventually brought the beans to the thriving port city of Venice, where they sold them to wealthy Italian buyers. Soon, the Dutch began importing and growing coffee in places like Java and Ceylon (largely through slave labor), and the British East India Trading Company was popularizing the beverage in England. Coffee spread across Europe and even reached America.

　　Where there has been coffee, there has been the coffeehouse. From the 15th century Middle Eastern establishments where men gathered to listen to music, play chess, and hear recitations from works of literature, to Paris' Cafe le Procope where luminaries of the French Enlightenment such as Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot came to enjoy a hot cup of joe, coffeehouses have traditionally served as centers of social interaction, places where people can come to relax, chat, and exchange ideas.

　　The modern coffee shop is modeled on the espresso and pastry­centered Italian coffeehouses that arose with the establishment of Italian­American immigrant communities in major US cities such as New York City's Little Italy and Greenwich Village, Boston's North End, and San Francisco's North Beach. New York coffee shops were often frequented by the Beats in the 1950's. It wasn't long before Seattle and other parts of the Pacific Northwest were developing coffee shops as part of a thriving counterculture scene. The Seattle­based Starbucks took this model and brought it into mainstream culture.

　　Although coffeehouses today continue to serve their traditional purpose as lively social hubs in many communities, they have noticeably adapted to the times. Rediscovering their purpose as centers of information exchange and communication, many coffee shops now provide their customers with internet access and newspapers. It has become extremely common to see someone sitting at a Starbucks listening to music or surfing the web on his or her laptop. Coffee stores today also maintain a fairly identifiable, yet unique aesthetic: wooden furniture and plush couches, paintings and murals drawn on walls, and soft­lighting combine to give coffee shops the cozy feeling of a home away from home.

　　Today, big business retail coffee shops are expanding quickly all over the world. Starbucks alone has stores in over 40 countries and plans to add more. Despite its popularity, Starbucks has been criticized and labeled by many as a blood­sucking corporate machine, driving smaller coffee shops out of business through unfair practices. This has even spawned an anti­corporate coffee counterculture, with those subscribing to this culture boycotting big business coffee chains. Increasingly popular coffee stores such as The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf are also giving Starbucks some stiff competition. In any case, it seems pretty clear that coffee has weaved itself into the fabric of our consumer­oriented culture.

　　【语篇解读】　咖啡早已经融入到人们的生活中，本文向我们介绍了咖啡文化的发展历史。

　　48．Which of the following is the correct order of coffee spreading in history?

　　①Egypt　②America　③the Middle East　④Netherlands

　　⑤Venice

　　A．①③④②⑤ B．③①⑤④②

　　C．①⑤④③②D．③②⑤④①

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。根据第一段中咖啡传入国家和地区的次序可知，应选B。]

　　49．We can infer from the passage ________.

　　A．Starbucks has beaten all the competitors

　　B．there are no changes in the development of coffee culture

　　C．the taste of coffee has changed a lot

　　D．Starbucks has some effect on the development of coffee culture

　　答案　D　[根据最后一段内容可知，星巴克咖啡公司利用不正当手段排挤小公司从而造成人们抵制大咖啡公司所开设的连锁店，产生反企业咖啡的反主流文化，故可推知星巴克对咖啡文化的发展产生了影响。]

　　50．The famous coffeehouse “Starbucks” originally came from________.

　　A．SeattleB．Ethiopia　

　　C．JavaD．France

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句可知星巴克最初起源于西雅图。]

　　51．Nowadays, if you come to a coffeehouse, you can ________.

　　A．play chess with other customers

　　B．enjoy delicious dishes from South America

　　C．surf the internet

　　D．watch a TV play

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。题干中的关键词是Nowadays，根据第四段中的“ Rediscovering their purpose as centers of information exchange and communication, many coffee shops now provide their customers with internet access and newspapers...”可知现在去咖啡厅，可以上网，读报纸，故选C项。]

　　Farmers often feel they need a lot of sunshine to produce a good crop.The Rodale Institute in Pennsylvania，however，says lots of vegetables grow well without much sun.

　　The research center published a report about this subject some years ago in its magazine Organic Gardening.The report said many different kinds of foods from blueberries to beans can be grown in the shade.

　　Some vegetables do need a lot of sun. A vegetable crop expert at the University of Maine advised putting these vegetables where they can get from eight to ten hours of sunlight a day.Tomatoes，melons，squash and peppers are among those that need the most sun.

　　Plants that produce root crops, such as carrots and beets，need from six to eight hours of sunlight every day.But leafy vegetables，such as lettuce(生菜)and spinach(菠菜)，need only six hours of sunlight a day.

　　The Rodale Institute says a garden should be planned carefully especially if you grow different kinds of foods. For example，rows of vegetables should be planted in an east­west direction.That way，as the sun passes overhead，all the plants will receive an equal amount of light.This is especially important when the plants grow to different heights.

　　Nut trees such as filbert，hazelnut and yellowhorn produce well with only sun in the morning.

　　Some fruits also do well without a lot of sunlight.In the United States，blueberries，raspberries，and several kinds of pears need only a little sun each day.In Asia，the hardy kiwi grows well in the shade.

　　Many herbs grow well without much sun.Mint plants，for example，grow well in the shade.So do sage，dill，oregano，borage，chamomile and several kinds of thyme.

　　The owner of a garden seed company warned against removing shade trees.He cut down all his shade trees to provide more sun for his crops.But then he had to protect his summer lettuce from the heat of the sun by hanging a piece of cloth to provide shade.

　　Instead of cutting trees，he suggested putting plants that need a lot of sunlight，such as tomatoes，in containers.That way they can be moved as the sun moves.

　　52．What's the best title of this article?

　　A．Growing vegetables in the shade

　　B．Protect the vegetables

　　C．Farmers need to plan their gardens carefully

　　D．How to provide shade

　　答案　A　[主旨大意题。由文章第一段however后面的句子可以看出，文章主要讲述有些蔬菜喜阴。]

　　53．Which of the following is NOT the writer's suggestion?

　　A．Put plants that need sunlight in containers.

　　B．Cut down all the shade trees.

　　C．Plan their garden carefully.

　　D．Plant rows of vegetables in east­west direction.

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。由文章第9段中一个garden owner的例子可以看出，其实不能把所有的遮阴的树都砍倒。]

　　54．Which of the following plants does not need a lot of sunshine?

　　A．Blueberry.B．Tomato.　

　　C．Beet.D．Lettuce.

　　答案　A　[推理判断题。从文章第二段第二句话“The report said many different kinds of foods from blueberries to beans can be grown in the shade.”可以看出，blueberries在阴凉处长得好。从文章第三段和第四段可以看出tomato，beet和lettuce都需要阳光。]

　　55．What does the word“leafy”in the fourth paragraph mean?

　　A．Containing a lot of trees.B．Having a lot of leaves.

　　C．Having a lot of roots.D．Having a lot of fruits

　　答案　B　[词义猜测题。从lettuce(生菜)and spinach(菠菜)的共性可以猜出，这两种蔬菜都是“多叶的”。]

　　In the picture，we can see two turnips，one with small leaves and the other with large ones.Naturally，we may expect the turnip with larger leaves to have a bigger root.However，according to the picture，the bigger the leaves above the ground are，the smaller the root underground is.Quite ironic，isn't it?

　　I think the picture reveals this truth：we should never judge things simply by their physical appearance.As a matter of fact，in our daily life，there exist many“small turnips with big leaves”．For example，a present wrapped in a delicate box turns out to be of poor quality，or a girl with a beautiful face acts rudely in public places.Therefore，let's learn not to be misled by“large leaves”．Remember：it is“roots”，something inside，but not“leaves”，outside appearance，that really matter.

　　School Bus Safety

　　Recently_a_series_of_severe_school_bus_accidents_came_as_a_shock_to_everyone.The safety of the school bus has aroused great concern among people.A discussion has been held in our class about the causes and solutions.The results are as follows.

　　The accidents are mainly caused by overloading，speeding and weak safety awareness.Moreover，lack of supervision and poor quality school buses also lead to these tragedies.

　　As for the solutions，we think that the government should take overall responsibility to ensure the safety of the school bus.In the first place，quality，standard school buses should be provided throughout the country.Second，schools are required to examine the safety of school buses and stop risky vehicles from being operated.Third，public's awareness about safety should be raised.Only if we attach enough importance to safety education can traffic accidents decrease.Last but not least，we should call on everyone to obey the traffic rules strictly.
