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,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The
invention of the electric telegraph gave birth to the communications industry.
Although Samuel B. Morse succeeded in making the invention useful in 1837, it
was not until 1843 that the first important telegraph line was constructed. By
1860 more than 50,000 miles of lines connected people east of the Rockies. The
following year, San Francisco was added to the network.
The national telegraph network
strengthened the ties between East and West and contributed to the rapid expansion
of the railroads by providing an efficient means to monitor schedules and
routes. Furthermore, the extension of the telegraph, combined with the
invention of the steam-driven rotary printing press by Richard
M. Hoe in 1846, revolutionized the world
of journalism. Where the business of news gathering had been dependent upon the
mail and on hand-operated presses, the telegraph expanded the amount of
information a newspaper could supply and allowed for more timely reporting. The
creating of the Associated Press as a central wire service in 1846 marked the
arrival of a new era (纪元) in journalism.
56.
The main topic of the passage is .
A.
the history of journalism B.
the origin of the national telegraph
C.
how the telegraph network contributed to the expansion of railroads
D. the contributions and
development of the telegraph network
57.
The word gathering in line 11 refers to .
A. people B.
information C.
objects D.
substances
58.
The authors main purpose in this passage is to .
A. compare the invention of
the telegraph with the invention of the steam-driven rotary press
B. propose new ways to develop
the communications industry
C. show how the electric
telegraph affected the communications industry
D. criticize Samuel B. Morse
59.
This passage would most likely be found in a .
A. U.S. history book B.
book on trains C. science textbook D. computer magazine
60.
It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. Samuel Morse did not make a
significant contribution to the communications industry
B. Morses invention did not immediately
achieve its full potential (潜力)
C. the extension of the
telegraph was more important than its invention
D. journalists have the
Associated Press to thank for the birth of the communications industry
B
It crawls up nostrils(鼻孔). It nests in hair. It settles itself between teeth and burrows
under contract lenses(眼睛的晶状体). And let’s not forget the
gritty mess that’s sure to appear if someone leaves a window open.
Last weekend, 2002’s draught(一阵)of thick grit from the Mongolian desert plain, which arrived earlier
than usual, whipped into urban northern China by March’s powerful wind. People
just sighed. They’ve got used over the decades to well-traveled dust arriving
from the skies to coat their furniture and lungs.
“Every spring it’s like this,
every year since I got to Beijing eight years ago. The whole city is covered
with it,” said Xiao Gai, a Beijing maid who wiped a thick layer of dust from a
TV in a downtown apartment. Beijing is dry to begin with, and it’s getting
drier. The
government estimates (估计) that deserts blow nearly 1 million tons of
sand into the city each year. It sits in a dust bowl directly in the wind path
of the Gobi Desert to the northwest. And decades of deforestation(砍伐森林)to make more farmland have brought down the trees that blocked
incoming sand, making drought (旱灾) worse and pushing the desert ever closer. In Beijing itself, the
building boom(繁荣)of recent years has dotted the
city with hundreds of construction sites where earth has been dug up and sits
in piles just waiting to be blown away.
61. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Spring Brings
Sand
B.
Deforestation and Drought
C. Beijingers
Complaint about Sandstorms D. Sandstorms Come from North China
62. According to the passage, which of the following is right? A.
The whole country is suffering from the sandstorms. B. The sandstorm came earlier this year than
ever. C.
People in northern China have seldom experienced sandstorms.
D. Beijing is getting
drier as a result of construction sites.
63. What will be most probably discussed in the paragraph following this
passage?
A. Damage that sandstorms do
to other areas
B. Air pollution that
sandstorms have caused
C. Measures that the government takes to deal with sandstorms
D. Effect that sandstorms
have on Beijingers
C
Amy Tan, the American-born
daughter of Chinese immigrants (移民), received the Commonwealth
Club Gold Award in 1989 for her first work of novel, the best-selling Joy Luck
Club. The sixteen interrelated stories that make up the work
switch between the tales of four Chinese immigrant mothers and their Americanized
daughters, in an exploration (探索) of the generational and
cultural tensions (紧张状态) experienced by many
first-generation daughters of immigrants.
Tans parents, like many immigrants, had
high expectations for their children and often set confusing (混乱的) standards, expecting Amy and
her two brothers to think like Chinese but to speak perfect English, excellent
at school, and take advantage of every chance that might lead to success. Tan,
however, rebelled against her parents expectations, which included such respected
professions (专业) as neurosurgery (神经外科), and devoted herself to being
thoroughly American and dreaming of being a novelist.
Tan got a bachelors degree in
English and linguistics (语言学) and a masters degree in
linguistics and finally established herself as a highly successful business
writer. Tan, however, was not satisfied in spite of her material success. Turning
to her life-long dream, she wrote her first short story, Endgame,
and then a second, Waiting between the Trees. In 1987 Tan visited
her half-sisters in China with her mother, a trip that proved to be a turning
point in her life and career. Tan felt a sense of completeness, a link with the
country and its culture that she had never expected. Returning from China, Tan
was surprised to learn that on the strength of her short stories she had
received an advance from a publisher. Tan closed her business and wrote the
remaining stories for the Joy Luck Club. It was a resounding success, well
received by the critics (批评家) and appearing on the New York
Times bestseller list. It has been translated into 17 languages, including
Chinese, and was made into a movie in 1993.
64.
What is the authors main purpose in this passage?
A. To analyze (分析) Amy Tans literary works
B. To support Amy Tans
decision to become a novel writer
C. To present biographical (生平的)
information about Amy Tan
D. To criticize Amy Tans
rebellion against her parents
65.
In the 2nd sentence of Paragraph 1, the words the work refer to .
A. stories B. writing C. Commonwealth
Club Gold Award D. Joy
Luck Club
66.
Before becoming a novel writer, Amy Tan was a successful .
A.
business writer B. publisher C. English
teacher D.
neurosurgeon
67.
The expectations of Tans parents included all of the following EXCEPT .
A. being excellent at school B.
speaking perfect English
C.
questioning tradition D.
choosing an important profession
68.
It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. Tans parents understood
her difficult situation but wanted the best for her
B. It took Tan
a while to gather the courage to seek her dreams
C. Tan started writing novel
in order to make more money
D. Tan had always wanted to
return to China

Waking
Up
by Eleanor
Farjeon
Oh! I have just had such a lovely dream!
And then I woke,
And all the dream went out like kettle-steam,
Or chimney-smoke.
My dream was all about - how funny, though!
Ive only just
Dreamed it, and now it has begun to blow
Away like dust.
In it I went – no! in my dream I had –
No, thats not it!
I cant remember, oh, it is too bad,
My dream a bit.
But I saw something beautiful, Im sure –
Then someone spoke,
And then I didnt see it any more,
Because I woke.
What do we do every night, whether we
know it or not? We dream. Researchers have found that we dream about the same
amount on nights that we remember our dreams as on the nights that we dont.
The amount of time we sleep is broken into cycles and states. There are two
states of sleep:
1.
The first state is called NREM, or non-rapid eye movement. It consists of four
stages:
Stage 1 is when we feel relaxed and
sleepy.
Stage 2 is when we move into a light
sleep. We dont dream in these two stages.
Stages 3 and 4 are called
slow-wave sleep. In these stages, we are in a deep sleep and the dreams we have
are ones we dont usually remember.
2.
The second state is called REM, or rapid eye movement. This is when we dream
the most
and have the dreams we remember the
most. For many people, their REM dreams are the
most meaningful and visually exciting.
Approximately three-fourths of
our total sleep time is spent in the NREM state and one-fourth in the REM
state. We sleep by cycling through these states. Throughout the night, we experience
four to six NREM/REM cycles.
72.
The poet compares her dream to kettle-steam because .
A. kettle-steam is hot and noisy,
like her dream
B. people tend to drink tea in the
evening to help them dream
C.
kettle-steam is hard to hold on to, like her dream
D. the whistle from the kettle
woke her from her dream.
73.
Many people remember nothing about their dreams when they awake. The person in
the
poem .
A.
remembered she had a dream, but did not remember the specifics
B. thought she should have had a
dream, but could not remember what she dreamed
C. had a dream about kettles
steaming, chimneys smoking, and dust blowing
D. was upset because someone woke
her before she had a chance to dream
74.
Which of the following statements is not
true?
A. Dreams experienced during stages 3 and
4 are the most memorable.
B. Most of our sleep time is spent
in the non-rapid eye movement state.
C. REM dreams tend to be more exciting
than NREM dreams.
D. We spend more time in NREM
sleep than in REM sleep.
75.
The dream experienced in the poem most likely occurred during .
A. stage 2 of NREM B.
stage 3 of NREM
C. stage 4 of NREM D. the REM state.

interest you, theyve got a huge indoor swimming pool, a weight room , and
indoor track. Its a great place to meet people.
M:
Now that you mentioned it , it would be nice to get away from the computer
center for a
change , and I really should get some more exercise. Working up a sweat in a
ball game or the
weight room would be nice. Ive got ten so fat.
W:
Look at me -- Youre not the only one. In
high school, I had a lot more time to do sports
activities. Now what little
spare time you have must be used in doing exercise. At least the
club is open until 12 p.m.
M:
I guess its worth a visit. Did you say youre going tomorrow night?
W:
Yeah.
M:
OK, Ill come, too. How about meeting me in front of the cinema at eight, and
well catch the
bus there.
W:
Sure, see you then.

M:
Shall we watch TV for a while?
W:
I dont like American TV. People keep hitting each other and shooting each
other.
M:
Yes, some of the shows are quite violent. But maybe life is like that.
W:
I dont believe it. The people here Ive met are very kind.
M:
So are the people I know. But look at the newspapers. Theres a lot of violence
in every paper.
W:
Maybe nice people are not interesting enough.
M:
Youre probably right. People wont buy newspapers unless theres exciting news
in them.
W:
Is that why theres so much violence on TV? Wont people watch a show unless
violent things
happen?
M:
I dont know. A lot of people like shows about the Old West, with cowboys and
Indians
fighting each other. I dont like them myself.
W:
Neither do I.
M:
They dont actually show how people really lived in the Old West.
W:
Of course not.

A
woman wearing old style clothes stood at the window of a shop. She thought for
a moment, for she did not know whether she should come in and finally she went
in. She asked to see a good dress in the window. The assistant was cleaning his
front desk. He raised his head and took a quick look at the woman. He didnt
like the way she was dressed at all. Then he spoke slowly, This dress has
been sold.
Hearing that, the woman walked
out of the shop angrily. She decided to punish the assistant the next day.
She came to the shop again the
next day. This time she was dressed in a magnificent coat with a handbag. She
found the rude assistant and asked for the same dress. The assistant didnt
recognize her. He followed her instructions happily. After he got the dress
with great difficulty, the woman said she didnt like it. Then she asked for
another dress, pretended to look at it for a while and said she disliked it again.
In this way, she enjoyed making him bring her almost everything in the
window. Finally she bought the
dress that she had first asked for and left the shop with satisfaction, leaving
the tired assistant and a pile of dresses.

Dear editor:
I’m writing
to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether it is necessary for
middle school students to carry mobile phones to school.
The majority of the students think that it is more convenient for
them to keep in touch with their parents and classmates if they have a mobile
phone. And what’s more, it’s a fashion.
However, most teachers think that middle school students are not old
enough to control themselves. It is a waste of time for students to play games
and send messages to each other by mobile phone. And it’s easy to cause the
students to vie with each other. If necessary they can make phone calls by
using public phones on the campus.
In my opinion. following the fashion is understandable. But as
middle school students, we should put all our heart into our studies.
Yours truly
Li
