第三部分 阅读理解（40分)

(A)

When I was struggling with cancer a few years ago, my wife and I formed our own “couple caution(防御) circle”. Anytime a doctor came with news of my progress, my wife would give me a big hug. The reports were seldom good during the early stages of my illness, and one day a doctor brought particularly frightening news. Staring at my reports, he said in a low voice, “It doesn’t look like you’re going to make it.”

Before I could ask him a question, my wife stood up, handed me my clothes, adjusted the tubes fastened to my body and said, “Let’s get out of here .This man is a risk to your health.” As she helped me struggle to the door, the doctor came near us. “Stay back,” demanded my wife. “Stay away from us.”

As we walked together down the hall, the doctor attempted to catch up with us. “Keep going,” said my wife, pushing the intravenous (静脉注射的) stand. “We’re going to talk to someone who really knows what is going on.” Then she held up her hand to the doctor. “Don’t come any closer to us.”

The two of us moved as one. We escaped to the safety and hope of a doctor who did not confuse diagnosis with conclusion. I could never have made that walk toward wellness alone.

( B ) A Two-way Student Exchange

This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers（young people aged from 13 --19）from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.

Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. The school was completely different from what he had expected — much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.

Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.

“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”

At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

60. This year teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other

countries.

A. twenty-three hundred B. thirteen hundred

C. over three thousand D. less than two thousand

61. The whole exchange programme is mainly to .

A. help teenagers in other countries know the real America

B. send students in America to travel in Germany

C. let students learn something about other countries

D. have teenagers learn new languages

62. What is particular in America schools is that .

A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.

B. there are a lot of outside activities

C. students usually take fourteen subjects in all

D. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car

63. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought .

A. A better education should include something good from both American and Germany

B. German schools trained students to be better citizens

C. American schools were not as good as German schools

D. the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students

( C ) Animal Conservation

Many animal and plant species have become extinct and many more are in critical danger. Finding ways to protect the earth's wildlife and conserve the natural world they inhabit is now more important than ever.

Dodo

The Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth's biology. The flightless Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It lived off fruit fallen from the island's trees and lived unthreatened until humans arrived in 1505. The easily controlled bird became a source of food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the island by humans such as pigs, monkeys and rats. The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and the last one was killed in 1681.

Rhinos

The Rhino (犀牛) horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine. This has led to the animal being hunted in its natural habitat. Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia, most rhinos now live in protected natural parks and reserves. Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years, and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers(偷猎者).

The Giant Panda

The future of the World Wildlife Fund's symbol is far from certain. As few as 1000 remain in the wild. The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves to protect these beautiful animals and made poaching them punishable with 20 years in prison. However, The panda's distinct black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose（造成）one of the most serious threats to the animals continued existence.

Whales

The International Whaling Commission is fighting to ensure the survival of the whale species. Despite the fact that one-third of the world's oceans have been declared whale sanctuaries（保护区）, 7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered. Hunted for their rich supply of oil, their numbers have decreased to just 300. Collisions with ships, poisonous pollution and being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.

Tigers

The last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between 5000 and 7000 and The Bali, Java, and Caspian tigers are already extinct. The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn, tigers’ bones and organs are sought after for traditional Chinese medicines. These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins.

64. It implies that _______.

A. The Dodo lacked the ability to protect itself from other animals

B. Sailors to the Island of Mauritius lived mainly on the Dodo

C. The Dodo used to be a strong animal that liked fighting.

D. The Dodo, pigs, monkeys and rats were the natives to the Island of Mauritius

65. Which group of the following animals has already died out according to the text?

A. The Dodo, Rhino and Giant Panda． B. The Rhino, Whale and South China Tiger.

C. The Rhino, Panda, Whale and Tiger. D. The Dodo and the Bali, Java, and Caspian tigers.

66. ______ can serve as a cure for certain diseases.

A. The whale’s rich oil B. The panda's black and white patched coat

C. The Rhino horn and tigers’ bones and organs D. The Dodo’s delicious meat

67. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. The number of South China tigers has reached crisis point.

B. Many animals are threatened with extinction as a result of human activity.

C. People hunt for the endangered animals for high profit.

D. The Whale is the representing mark for the World Wildlife Fund．

( D ) The Uniqueness of Finger-prints

Every human being has a unique arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable. Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.

The ridge structure on a person’s fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one, which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed. Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.

Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer’s ink. They can be recorded easily. With special methods, identification can be achieved successfully within a short time. Because of the simplicity and economy of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.

When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Special techniques are used to “develop” them. Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.

68. Scientists and experts have proved that the pattern of a human being’s finger skin ____.

A. is similar to his mother’s B. is valuable to himself only

C. is like that of others with the same type of blood D. is different from that of all others

69. If your fingers are wounded by knife, fire or other means, the structure of skin will ____.

A. be changed partly B. be replaced by a different one

C. be the same when the wound is recovered D. become ugly

70. Some criminals remove their own finger-prints by ________.

A. using printer’s ink B. injuring the inner skin

C. damaging the outer skin D. damaging the colour

71. Finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case because it ____.

A. is complicated but reliable B. is simple and not expensive

C. is expensive but easy to do D. can bring a lot of money
