第三部分 阅读（共两节，满分40分）

第一节 阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列三篇短文，从每题所给的四个选现（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

American like to visit the national parks. In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas run by the National Park Service. Experts predict that by 2010, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds.

The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To cope with this problem, national parks may require reservations months in advance for some spots. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees at these places.

Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, officials may decrease the number of cars allowed in parks. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also limit the use of jet-skis, snowmobiles (摩托雪橇), motorboats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.

The parks are also threatened by development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many motels (汽车旅馆), golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments affect areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.

41. By 2010, the number of visitors will rise by ______ per year.

A. 250 million B. 500 million C. 2.5 billion D. 5 billion

42. If you want to visit the national parks, you may have to _____ in the future.

A. pay less than before B. stay there for months

C. book the ticket before months D. fill in a form to apply for the ticket

43. Entrance fees may be increased _______.

A. just for the benefit of the National Park Service

B. either to limit the number of visitors or to pay for the cleaner

C. not only to protect the animals but to reduce the noise pollution

D. merely for the development of the national parks

44. What does the underlined sentence in the passage mean?

A. People are not supposed to visit the national parks for fear that they will harm the animals.

B. Only if more man-made tourist attractions are built will more people visit the parks.

C. It is reasonable to keep the balance between the development of the parks and the reserve.

D. People will not visit the national parks since there are no golf courses and resorts.

45. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. High fees may probably keep some people out of parks.

B. Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer.

C. The bus will become the only toot in parks with the purpose of pollution reduction.

D. The National Park Service welcomes as many visitors as possible.

B

All her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy. You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house, leave a half-written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged,” as she explained.

My wife, one of her first visits to my mother’s house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused, she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better.

These disappearance had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有……的倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. “ Do you remember what I was doing?” was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.

Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of cleaning windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.

We have all become busy persons.

46. Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?

A. she enjoyed removing others’ drinks. B. She became more and more forgetful.

C. She preferred to do everything by herself. D. She wanted to keep her house in good order.

47. My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother’s house because _______.

A. she had already finished them B. my mother had taken them away

C. she forgot where she had left them D. someone in my family was holding them

48. The underlined part suggests that my sister ______.

A. is happy to clean windows B. loves to clean used windows

C. is fond of cleaning used windows D. likes cleaning windows as my mother did

49. How many persons are mentioned in the passage?

A. Six. B. Seven. C. Five. D. Four.

50. This passage mainly tells us that ______.

A. my mother often made us confused B. my family members had a poor memory

C. my mother helped us to form a good habit D. my wife was surprised when she visited my mother

C

Botany, the study of plants, occupies a special position in the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest (含糊的) of insight. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of peoples, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, eyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognized accurately hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them, botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of knowledge at all.

Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer productions the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the wonder of agriculture; cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the built up knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and close relationship with plants in the wild would begin fade away.

51. Which of the following statements about early humans is expressed in the passage?

A. They probably had extensive knowledge of plants.

B. They thought there was no need to cultivate crops.

C. They did not enjoy the study of botany.

D. They placed great importance on the ownership of property.

52. What does the comment “This is logical.” In the first paragraph mean?

A. There is no clear way to determine the extent of our ancestor’s knowledge of plants.

B. It is not surprising that early humans had a detailed knowledge of plants.

C. It is reasonable to assume that our ancestors behaved very much like people in pre-industrial societies.

D. Human knowledge of plants is well organized and very detailed.

53. According to the passage, why has general knowledge of botany begun to fade?

A. People no longer value plants as a useful resource.

B. Botany is not recognized as a special branch of science.

C. Research is unable to keep up with the increasing numbers of plants.

D. Direct contact with a variety of plants has decreased.

54. In the second paragraph, what is the author’s purpose in mentioning “ a rose, an apple, or an orchid”?

A. To make the passage more poetic.

B. To give an example of plant that are attractive.

C. To give botanical examples that all readers will recognize.

D. To explain the variety of botanical life.

55. According to the passage, what was the first great step toward the practice of agriculture?

A. The invention of agricultural tools and machinery.

B. The development of a system of names for plants.

C. The discovery of grasses that could be harvested and replanted.

D. The changing diets of early humans.

Praise Children Properly

Praise plays an important part in the growth of a person. Whoever hasn’t received praise for good deeds wouldn’t study hard later, otherwise those praise would work harder. So praise can be effective between kids and adults.

Most people like to be praised and they may long for approval and recognition from others. Therefore praising a kid for his good behavior can help him grow healthy. To be sure, not every use of praise is a calculated approach to control children’s behavior. Sometimes we praise kids just because we’re fully pleased by what they’ve done. Even then, however, it’s worth looking more closely. Praise may increase kids’ dependence on us. So I think while we admit the advantage of praise we can’t ignore the disadvantage of abusing it.

When our life is filled with sunshine, we need a bit rain to make our heads clear. Too much praise often makes people, especially the young, become conceited and arrogant, which thus spoils them. No person can live on praise all his life without being hurt.
