　　第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that one’s memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.

　　If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is really his own fault. Not all of us can become very strong or very clever, but all of us can improve our memory by the same means — practice.

　　Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because people who can’t read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is exercised all the time.

　　So if you want a good memory, learn from those who cannot read or write: practise remembering.

　　61. The author thinks that if a person has a poor memory, ________.

　　A. it is his own fault

　　B. his parents are to blame

　　C. he is just unlucky

　　D. his arms must be weak

　　62. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that ________.

　　A. people who can’t read are cleverer than those who can

　　B. people who can’t write are cleverer than those who can

　　C. a little notebook helps people who cannot read or write get a better memory

　　D. people who practise remembering regularly have a better memory

　　63. The passage mainly tells us ________.

　　A. how to get our arms and legs stronger

　　B. how to improve our memory

　　C. how to read and write

　　D. how to remember dates and prices

　　B

　　Africa is home to nearly 700 lakes and rivers. It holds the largest amount of water on earth. Because of the overuse of the lakes, natural climate changes and other factors (因素), these lakes are disappearing quickly.

　　Millions of people in Africa depend on water sources like lakes and rivers for their daily water. In other words, they cannot live without these lakes and rivers. Recent studies by the United Nations show that this loss of water supply is putting a great pressure on the African population.

　　In the 1960s, Lake Chad was nearly 83,200 square feet large. In about forty years, it has lost 95% of its size and it has almost completely dried up. At one time, it was one of the largest lakes in the world, and was around 960,000 square feet around 6,000 years ago.

　　The sizes of lakes and rivers and the amount of water have something to do with seasons naturally. But, pollution and agriculture also play an important part in the loss of water. Many pollutants (污染物) are put into lakes and rivers so that many lakes and rivers are seriously polluted, and the water may be poisonous (有毒的). If something isn’t done soon about the disappearing lakes and rivers, there will not be enough water for everyone. Then many people in Africa will face diseases and possible dehydration (脱水).

　　64. What can we infer from the first paragraph?

　　A. There are about 7,000 lakes and rivers in Africa.

　　B. Africa is the largest continent on earth.

　　C. As climate changes, there is less and less water in Africa.

　　D. Now Africa has less water than before.

　　65. The figures in the third paragraph show _______.

　　A. more and more lakes are drying up

　　B. Lake Chad was a large lake

　　C. how quickly water is being lost in Africa

　　D. Lake Chad is 4,160 square feet now

　　66. Which of the following is NOT one of the results of the loss of water in Africa?

　　A. African people’s daily life is affected.

　　B. Agriculture develops quickly.

　　C. The number of population in Africa will be smaller.

　　D. Many people will suffer from diseases.

　　67. What is the purpose of the passage?

　　A. To explain why lakes and rivers are disappearing in Africa.

　　B. To show people the results of the loss of water in Africa.

　　C. To call on people to solve the problem of the loss of water in Africa.

　　D. To tell people how to protect the lakes and rivers in Africa.

　　C

　　Rome had the Forum (论坛). London has Speaker’s Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill.

　　Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street comers. And just talk.

　　Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, “Talk to Me,” they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.

　　They don’t collect money. They don’t push religion (宗教). So what’s the point?

　　“To see what happens,” said Liz. “We simply enjoy life with open talk.”

　　Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return.

　　“It started as a crazy idea.” Liz said. “We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their job, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.”

　　Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went.

　　Marcia had led her husband to a serious disease. “That was very heavy on my mind.” Marcia said. “To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good,” she explained.

　　To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people appeared, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.

　　They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something the two say they’ll consider before making a decision.

　　68. What did Liz and Bill determined to do after the attack on September 11, 2001?

　　A. Telling stories to strangers.

　　B. Setting up street signs.

　　C. Talking with people

　　D. Organizing a speaker’s party.

　　69. What they have been doing can be described as _______.

　　A. pointless (无意义的)

　　B. normal（ 正常的）

　　C. crazy

　　D. successful

　　70. What will Liz and Bill do in the future?

　　A. Go in for publishing

　　B. Do more television programs.

　　C. Continue what they are doing

　　D. Spend more time reading books.

　　71. How do they like the idea of writing a book?

　　A. They have decided to wait a year or two.

　　B. They will think about it carefully

　　C. They agreed immediately

　　D. They find it hard to do that.

　　D

　　One of every four children in New Mexico and Texas lives in households that struggle to provide enough food at some point during the year, a report says. The report is the first to give a state-by-state look at child hunger.

　　“It is a real eye-opener to see that so many states have such high rates of child food insecurity (不安全) and hunger,” says author John Cook, an expert on child hunger. He says lack of healthful food can damage a child’s physical and mental development.

　　Nationwide, the report finds that 13 million children, or 18%, were hungry or at risk of hunger. New Hampshire had 7% of the share of kids facing hunger, followed by North Dakota with 9%. States with rates of 20% or above included California, Kentucky, Mississippi and Utah. The District of Columbia also was in this group.

　　The report also said that nearly 15 million low-income children get free school lunches, and 7 million get free breakfasts. More than 50,000 also take home backpacks on Fridays that are filled with a few pounds of healthful food provided by local food banks and churches.

　　“The problem is the gap in services,” says researcher Jan Pruitt. She says not all needy families get food stamps and free school meals because of the shame of being poor.

　　In Texas, Pruitt says, demand for food has steadily risen in recent years as working poor families struggle to pay for gas and housing. She says the state has a high poverty rate and large rural areas, so there is one food store for every 480 square miles.

　　Relatively few kids — less than 1% — lived in “very low food security” households where members ate less because they could not afford to buy enough food. In these households, adults are the ones most likely to skip meals because “parents have to protect their kids from hunger”.

　　Researchers expect the number of food insecure people nationwide will rise because of higher food and energy prices.

　　72. According to John Cook, the result of the study _______.

　　A. is not completely believable

　　B. called people’s attention to child hunger

　　C. only covers some states of the US

　　D. was kept secret for a long time

　　73. In the District of Columbia, the percentage of kids facing hunger may be about _______.

　　A. 7%

　　B. 9%

　　C. 18%

　　D. 20%

　　74. According to Jan Pruitt, we can learn that _______.

　　A. schools play the biggest role in helping the hungry children

　　B. some hungry people feel shame for being poor and refuse help

　　C. there are enough food stores in most of the rural areas in Texas

　　D. the prices of gas and housing are likely to reduce in the future

　　75. What does the underlined part “skip meals” probably mean?

　　A. To cook meals.

　　B. To buy meals.

　　C. Not to have meals.

　　D. Not to accept meals.
