　　第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分,满分40分)

　　阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time. Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.

　　E-mail makes it easier to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my younger daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.

　　The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun, see a great movie perhaps, and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may be tired of telling the story.

　　With e-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think who might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.

　　E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use e-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.

　　We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.

　　51. The purpose of this passage is to ________.

　　A. explain how to use the Internet

　　B. describe the writer’s joy of keeping up with the latest technology

　　C. tell the merits and usefulness of the Internet

　　D. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet

　　52. The use of e-mail has made it possible for the writer to ________.

　　A. spend less time working

　　B. have more free time with his child

　　C. work at home on weekends

　　D. work at a speed comfortable to him

　　53. According to the writer, e-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former helps one ________.

　　A. reach a group of people at one time conveniently

　　B. keep one’s communication as personal as possible

　　C. pass on much more information than the latter

　　D. get in touch with one’s friends faster than the latter.

　　54. The best title for this passage is _________.

　　A. Computer: new technological advances

　　B. Internet: new tool to maintain good friendship

　　C. Computer have made life easier

　　D. Internet: a convenient tool for communication

　　In small towns all across West Texas, one group of workers has earned the love and admiration of the town’s people; and that’s the firefighters (消防员) who work around the clock to save their homes. While there is much sadness and destruction for many families, there is also great joy. In all, some 300 families have lost all that they own, but hundreds more homes are still standing because of the brave men and women in the fire service who risk their own lives to save the homes of strangers.

　　In Mineral Wells, Texas, local people gather outside the American Red Cross shelter each night to cheer their heroes as they return from the field.

　　“The guys send us a text message to let us know they’re on their way home,” said Tina Draper, the American Red Cross Shelter manager. “That’s when the community begins to gather. When the guys pull up in their trucks, they’re very tired, but they perk (昂首挺胸) right up when they see all the people lined up to cheer them on.”

　　Inside the shelter, drawings of support from school children line the walls and the smell of good southern home cooking wafts (漂浮) through the air.

　　“We just want to do all we can to help these firefighters through this difficult time,” said Draper. “The Red Cross, all the local churches, the schools and everyone have been working side-by-side to make sure that every family and every firefighter is cared for”.

　　55. What do the underlined words, “work around the clock”, mean in the first paragraph?

　　The volcano is one of the most surprising frightening forces of nature. Maybe you have seen pictures of these “fireworks” of nature. Sometimes when a volcano erupts , a very large wall of melted rock moves down the side of a mountain. It looks like a “river of fire.” Sometimes volcanoes explode, throwing the melted rock and ashes(灰)high into the air. But where does this melted rock come from? The earth is made up of many layers(层). The top layer that we see is called the crust. Under the crust are many layers of hard rock. But far, far beneath the crust whose rock is so hot, it is soft. In some places it even melts. The melted rock is called magma. Sometimes the magma breaks out to the surface through cracks in the crust(地壳). These cracks are volcanoes.

　　Most people think of mountains when they think of volcanoes. But not every mountain is a volcano. A volcano is simply the opening in the earth from which the magma escapes. The hot magma, or lava as it is called, cools and builds up on the surface of the earth. Over thousands of years, this pile of cooled lava can grow to be very, very big. For example, the highest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro, is a volcano. It towers more than 16,000 feet above the ground around it.

　　59. The underlined word “erupts” (Para. 1) means

　　.

　　A. moves down

　　B. breaks away

　　C. builds up

　　D. suddenly throws out lava

　　60. Which words in the passage have the same meaning as “melted rock”?

　　A. “Volcano” and “ explode”

　　B. “Crust” and “hard rock”

　　C. “Magma” and “lava”

　　D. “Volcano” and “magma”

　　61. Which is the correct order of the layers of the earth (beginning with the top layer)?

　　A. Crust ?hard rock ?magma ?soft rock

　　B. Crust ?hard rock ?soft rock ?magma

　　C. Magma ?soft rock ?hard rock ?crust

　　D. Volcano ?cracks ?magmabove the gr — crust

　　62. The best title（标题）of the passage should be

　　A. The volcano

　　B. Kilimanjaro volcano

　　C. The mountains

　　D. The melted rock

　　D

　　In the United States, many low income（低收入）parents cannot afford to buy enough food for their children. A program called Kids Cafe is helping some of these children by providing free nutritious (有营养的)snacks and meals during after-school programs.

　　At a community(社区) center in Virginia just outside of Washington, D.C., children make a snack as part of their after-school program. “The snack is very healthy for your body, but the main thing is that it tastes really, really good,” Keith Clements tells them. He runs the Kids Cafe program

　　The children are between the ages of 5 and 11 and are from several local schools. About half have parents from Ethiopia. Many of the children eat their traditional food at home. Kids Cafe, with food offered free by a food bank, gives them an opportunity to try different types of food.

　　“It’s good,” says one girl. But Rebecca Nance, whose parents are from the US, is not so sure. “The taste is weird.” Her mother, Daffany Nance has two children in the program. She’s glad her kids are getting nutritious food. “Even in my house we don’t have much junk food,” she says, “so it’s very important that it’s healthy and continues to help them grow better.”

　　The charity(慈善机构), Feeding America, started the national Kids Cafe program in 1993, The charity says more than 16 million children in the United States do not have enough healthy food to eat.

　　Kids Cafe became part of the after-school program at this community center five years ago. Lori McFail heads the after-school program. She says some children do not eat good evening meals because their parents work late or cannot afford healthy food. She hopes the children will make full use of what they’ve learned about nutrition in their lives.

　　B. unusual

　　C. sweet

　　D. strong

　　65. Who leads the after-school program?

　　In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean Sea. Of these, only about half a dozen produce the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast .There they cause millions of dollars of damage ,and bring death to large numbers of people.

　　The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances（扰乱）hundreds or thousands of miles out to sea .As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun ,they are carried westward by the trade winds（信风）.When conditions are just right ,warm, moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top .In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain ,and with it the heat is changed into energy in the form of strong winds .As the heat increases ,the young hurricane begins to swirl（旋动）in a counterclockwise（逆时针方向）motion.

　　The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine .The energy in the heat released by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, rather than wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods .Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea—the mountains of water moving toward the low—pressure hurricane center, The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.

　　67. When does an ordinary tropical storm turn into a hurricane?

　　A. When it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean Sea

　　B. When it hits the coastline

　　C. When it is more than 75 miles per hour.

　　D. When its wind reaches 75 miles per hour.

　　68. What is the worst thing about the hurricane?

　　A. The destructive effect of water.

　　B. The heat it releases.

　　C. It lasts about nine days.

　　D. Strong winds.

　　69. The counterclockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about by

　　.

　　A. the low pressure center of the storm

　　B. the force of waves of water

　　C. the trade winds

　　D. the increasing heat

　　70. Which of the following about the hurricane is TRUE?

　　A. It often occurs around June

　　B. It is not so powerful as that of storm born in the Caribbean Sea

　　C. It usually lasts about nine days

　　D. It can be easily detected and prevented

　　A horrible earthquake happened in Japan on March 11，2011，which made lots of houses fall down and many people lose their homes.

　　In the northwest of the country，then came the enormous sea waves of up to thirty meters，causing

　　more than 20,000 people dead or missing. And what’s more，what makes the people more painful is nuclear power station explosion. Now though a lot of countries including China have sent rescue teams to help the Japanese, the Japanese are still in misery, for there ate many people killed in the earthquake.

　　And I believe, with the help of the people all over the world and the leadership of the Japanese government, the people in the country will surely pull themselves together so that they can rebuild their homes.
