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，从每题所给出的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
It was in Africa and Asia that early human beings first made the kind of stone tools they needed to hunt and kill large animals .With these arms rough spears ,axes ,and knivesa small group of hunters could get enough meat at one time to feed many people .Now and then ,seeds ,fruits and roots made good eating .The number of pepople increased .
A group of related families ,including children and the old would stay close to the large animals they lived on .As long as there were newspaces to move into and plenty of game ,the growing population could survive .When such an organized groupour society became too large for its members to travel together comfortably ,it would split up.In this way ,hunters moved into Africa ,Europe and Asia .
The best areas of world for human beings were those where many kinds of food could be found .When one kind became scarce ,people could use another to keep from starving .Life in such areas was safe .
56．A few hunters could get enough food at a time for many people because .
A．they had the kind of tools needed to kill large animals
B．the hunters were very strong
C．there were too many animals to hunt D．people did not eat much meat

A．live comfortably B．continue to live
C．continue D．live a long life
58．Related members of families would live and move together until .
A．there were no more animals to hunt in the area

59．The best places for human beings to move to were those where .
A．a kind of food was plenty B．there were large animals

B
In many countries today ,laws protect wildlife .In India ,the need for such protection was realized centuries ago .
About 300 B.C an Indian writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today .The killing of tame beasts was carefully supervised （监督）.Some animals were fully protected .Within the forest ,nobody was allowed to cut trees ,burn wood for charcoal ,or catch animals for their furs .Animals that became dangerous to human visitors were caught or killed outside the park ,so that other animals would not become uneasy.
The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before .About a thousand species（物种）of animals are in danger of extinction （dying out ）,and the rate at which they are being destroyed has increased .With mammals（哺乳动物）,for instance ,the rate of extinction is now about one species every year :from 1 A D to 1800,the rate was about one species every fifty years .Everywhere ,men are trying to solve the problem of protecting wildlife while caring for the world’s growing population .
60．The example of man’s connection with wildlife protection can date back to .
A．the 3 rd century B．over 2000 years ago
C．1 A D D．1800 A D
61．In forests of ancient India .
A．people were permitted to hunt for fur
B．only tigers could be killed
C．the killing of tame beasts was strictly limited
D．no killing of beasts was allowed
62．Form the passage we can infer that .
A．the growth of world’s population means greater danger to wildlife
B．about a thousand species are in danger of extinction
C．the rate of extinction of mammals is lower now that it was from 1 A D to 1800
D．hunting animals is for bidden everywhere
C
What makes it rain ？Rain falls from clouds for the same reason anything falls to earth .The earth’s gravity pulls it .But every cloud is made of waterdrop or ice crystals （晶体）.Why doesn’t rain or snow fall constantly from all clouds ？The drops or ice crystals in clouds are very small .The effect of gravity on them is minute .Air currents move and lift drops so that the net downward displacement（位移）is zero ,even though the drops are in constant motion .
Drops and ice crystals act somehow like dust in the air made visible in sunlight .To the observer ,dust seems to act in a totally aimless form ,moving about in disorder without fixed direction .But in fact dust particles（粒子）are much larger than water drops and they finally fall.The cloud drops of average size is only inch in diameter .It is so small that it would take sixteen hours to fall half a mile in still air ,and it does not fall out of moving air at all .When the drop grows to a diameter of inch or larger it can fall from the cloud .The average raindrop contains a million times as much water as a tiny cloud drop .The growth of a cloud drop to a size large enough to fall out is the cause of rain .This important growth process is called coalescence.
63．Why don’t all ice crystals in clouds immediately fall to earth ？
Because .
A．they are balanced by the pressure of rain drops .
B．gravity has no effect on them
C．they are kept up in the air by air currents
D．the heat from the sun’s rays melts them
64．The word“motion”is closest in meaning to which of the following ？
A．wind B．movement C．falling down D．action
65．What can be inferred about drops of water larger than inch in diameter ？
A．They are never seen B．They are not affected by the force of gravity
C．In still air they would fall to earth
D．In moving air they fall at a speed of thirty-two miles per hour
66．In this passage ,what does the term“coalescence”refer to ？
A．the gathering of small clouds to form larger clouds
B．the growth of drops
C．the fall of raindrops
D．the movement of dust particles in the sunlight
67．What is the diameter of the average cloud drops ？
A． B． C． D．One millionth of an inch
D
In the past ,man did not have to think about the protection of his environment .Theree were few people on the earth ,and natural resources seemed to unlimited .
Today ,things are different .The world has become too crowded .We are using up our natural resources too quickly ,and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals .If we continue to do this ,human life on earth will not survive .
Everyone realized today that if too many fish are taken from the sea ,there will soon be none left .Yet ,with modern fishing methods,more and more fish are caught .We know that if too many trees are cut down ,forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land .Yet ,we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees .
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories ,we willdie .However ,in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea ,and there are few laws to stop this .
We know ,too ,that if the population of the world continues to rise at the present rate ,in a few years ,there will not be enough food .
What can we do to solve these problems ？
If we eat more vegetables and less meat ,there will be more food available for everyone .Land that is used to grow crops feeds five times more people than land where animals are kept .
Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycle them .
The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control .
Finally ,if we educate people to think about the problems we shall have a better and cleaner planet in the future .
68．Today ,we have to think about the problem of our environment ,because .
A．things are getting worse and worse
B．the limited natural resources are being used up too quickly
C．the environment is continuing to be polluted by too much waste and poison
D．if we care nothing about the protection of the environment no human beings will exist on earth
69．If we ,the natural resources can be used longer .
A．use them as little as possible
B．use them properly and pay attention to the recycle
C．make full use of them
D．learn to recycle them
70．Which of the following statements is Not true ？
A．If we eat more vegetables ,more food can be saved .
B．In the past ,there was no need for us to think about the environmental protection
C．If we keep on cutting down trees ,forests will disappear ,and nothing will grow on land
D．We should not take more and more fish out of the sea ,or there will soon be no fish left
71．According to the passage ,the most important thing we must understand is that .
A．we could keep our environment from being polluted
B．we must make enough laws to protect our natural resources
C．man will destroy himself if he doesn’t solve the problems mentioned in the passage
D．we will have no enough food if the population of the world countries rises at the present rate
E
In ancient times ,it was quite common to believe in the magical power of number .It was believed some numbers could inform someone of the future or show the hidden side of a person’s personality .Numerology ,the art of reading the power in numbers ,was often practised in Jewish tradition and among Greek mathematicians .Today ,many of those who still practice numerology use the Hebrew system which gives each letter of the alphabet one of the numbers 1 through 8.
Here is an example of how the Hebrew system of numerology Works .In order to find the number related to a person’s name ,first assign（分派）the correct number to each letter of the name .The following chart can be used to see the number related to person’s name :
For a name like John ,the following numbers are use: J=1 ,O=7,H=5,and N=5 .Add these numbers together .The total is 18.Because this number is larger than 9 ,add the two digits（数字）so that ,1+8=9 .Nine is the number which refers to the name John .
Each number from 1 to 9 shows a different type of personality .One is the number of a leader ,a person who will achieve many things .Two represents a person who is gentle and kind ,but this is also a person who does not have clear goals .Three stands for a social person who is intelligent（有才智的）and creative .A person whose name equals four is a dependable ,organized ,and logical person .Five is the number for a person who is clever but impatient .Six is a “happy”number .This type of person is peaceful,sincere ,and has a well-balanced life .Severn is the number for a person who prefers to be alone .This kind of person is a thinker .Eight shows a person who will have money .This kind of person also thinks only of himself or herself .Nine is the number of a genius or spiritual leader .
72．The purpose of numerology as explained in the passage is .
A．to count people B．to strengthen the custom
C．to foresee a person’s personality D．to practise tradition
73．Why would a person want to examine his name through numerology ？He wants to .
A．get the information of his own character unknown by himself and others
B．know how other people see him
C．make sure of the relation between future and quality
D．show off his ability
74．What number represents Walter’s name if he checks the chart ？
A．3 B．5 C．7 D．9
75．It can be inferred from the passage that .
A．Vera may be thought a wealthy person in the future
B．The writer of the passage is a Greek mathematician
C．A person who want s to examine his name is sure to make himself lucky
