第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
The idea of fighting a noise by making more noise sounds strange, but
that’s exactly what motor engineers are doing in Germany and some other
countries.
Carmakers’ research and development laboratories have already proved
that mixing in more noise with the help of loudspeakers can reduce the unwanted
noise.
Physicists have known about the technique for a long time. Sound is made
up of pressure waves in the air. If two sound waves of the same frequency(频率)mix so that the highest point of
one wave happens at the same time with the lowest point of the other wave, the
result is no sound. Therefore, by producing a perfect copy of the noise and
delaying it by half a wave cycle(周期), we can kill the unwanted noise. Using this technique, many
carmakers are racing to develop noise-killing systems both inside and out side
the cars.
Another good thing about the use of noise-killing systems is that is
saves the need for a silencer, which not only reduces the weight of a car, but
also makes the motor burn less oil and work better.
Some engineers believe that the noise-killing system will be used in
most cars in the future. But the carmakers haven’t decided if they will put it
into production because it would add several hundred to the cost of their cars.
56.Which of the following gives a general
idea of how the noise-killing system works?
A. By producing pressure waves going in the
opposite direction.
B. By mixing high frequency sound waves
with low frequency sound wave.
C. By making copies of the unwanted sound
waves and letting them out a little later.
D. By mixing new sound waves with the noise
and sending them out together.
57.Besides its main function(功能) the noise-killing system
can______.
A. make a car lighter
B. make a car quieter
C. reduce the cost of a silencer D. improve the performance of a
silencer
58. The noise-killing system is not yet
popular mainly because______
A. it increases the cost of car
production B. carmakers are
not sure if it is necessary
C. it is still being tried out
D. people still have their doubts
B.
Britons
Learn to Forgive
LEEDS, ENGLAND—A Leeds University psychology(心理学) professor is teaching a course
to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies.
“The hatred(憎恨) we hold within us is a cancer,” Professor Ken Hart said, and he added
that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and
heart disease.
More than 70
people have become members in Hart’s first 20-week workshop(实验班) in London a course he says is
the first of its kind in the world.
“These are
people who are sick and tired of living with the memory. They realize their
bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking
it themselves.” said Canadian-born Hart.
The students
meet in groups of eight to ten for the two- hour workshop with a visit to an
adviser every fortnight.
The course,
ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people.
“People have
lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness,” he said. “ People confuse(把……混同)forgiveness with for getting.”
Forgiveness is
something of changing from a negative attitude to a positive one.
Hart and his
team have created instructions to provide the training needed.
“The main idea
is to give you guidelines(准则) on how to look at various angers which affect you, and how to
change your attitude toward the person you are angry with,” said Norman Glaring
bull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project. Hart said he believes
forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people “want to get free of
the past”.
59.From this passage we can find
that__________.
A. high blood pressure and heart disease
are caused by hatred
B. high blood pressure can only be cured by
psychology professors
C. without hatred, people have less trouble connected with blood and heart
D. people who suffer from blood pressure
and heart disease must have many enemies
60. If you are angry with somebody, you
should________
A. try your best to defeat him or her
B. never meet him or her again
C. persuade him or her to have a talk with
you D. make yourself not think of
it any more
61. In Hart’s first 20-week workshop,
people there can_________.
A. meet their enemies
B. change their minds
C. enjoy the professor’s speech D. learn how to quarrel with others
62.if you are member in Hart’s workshop,
you’ll have to____.
A. pay much money to Hart B.
go to the workshop every night
C. attend a gathering twice a month D. Pour out everything stored in your
mind
63.The author wrote this passage in order
to ________.
A. persuade us to go to Hart’s
workshop B. tell
us the news about Hart’s workshop
C. tell us how to run a workshop like Hart’s D. help us to look at various angers
C
Many people go
to school for an education. They learn Languages, history, geography, physics,
chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they
can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one
can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can
not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to
show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think.
So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always
mire important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize(记住)some facts or a formula(公式)。It is usually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a
formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working
out a mats problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn’t
get every-thing from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so
many things for mankind(人类).
Above all, they
knew how to use their brains.
64.Whether he is more ____________or less,
a teacher can’t teach his students everything they want to know.
A. important B. useful C. difficulty D. knowledgeable(有知识的)。
65. A teacher’s job is mainly to train his
students to master the ability of __________.
A. learning by themselves B. making a living
C. reading and thinking D. studying all
the subjects
66.The reason for scientists’ success is
that _______.
A. they read books that were not taught at
school.
B. they worked all their lives
C. they wasted not a single moment
D. they knew how to use their brains
D
Make
it with your own hands
Yang Yu works for a German company in Beijing. Though he enjoys the
computer business, it is hard for him to relax after work.
“For a long time, I had no choice except to go to a bar for a drink.” He
said.
Yang started looking for something a little less destructive(破坏生) and a little more constructive
(建设性).
He found it .
Yang builds model tanks. His tanks don’t look as professionally made as
those displayed in stores, but he likes doing it.
“Playing with store bought tanks with expensive price tags is not as
much fun,” he said.
“When I was younger, I liked wearing blue army uniforms and holding a
wooden gun to shoot at imaginary enemy tanks. Now I enjoy putting together tanks----inexpensively.”
His bookshelves now hold not books but plastic tank models that Yang
made.
A growing
number of young people are like Yang, creating (making) things on their own.
They like to do it themselves.
Though many “
ready-made” craft items (手工艺品) are valuable in China, some people, increasingly known as
DIYers-do-it-yourselfers-appreciate the sense of involvement in the process of
making personalized products eco-nominally.
DIY, as
lifestyle, is beginning to catch on.
Besides making
tanks, many create things from their own kitchen dishes to assembling (fit
together) personal computers.
However new the
DIY fad (新奇的时尚) may be
to the younger generation, many people remember when DIY was a way of life.
During the
1960s and 1970 when materials were in short supply, people were forced to use
their own hands to do many things. Whitewashing the wall or sewing clothes was
a part of life.
There was no
choice: if you wanted something done, you did it yourself; if you needed a
piece of equipment, you made it yourself. And if it took longer, that was also
a point of pride, You were self- sufficient.
But times have
changed and the concept of DIY is different.
Now it’s more a
form of self-expression, as well as a way to economize.
67. What does Yang Yu most enjoy doing in
his spare time?
A. Computer business.
B. Going to bar for a drink.
C. Doing something by himself.
D. Wearing blue army uniforms and holding a
wooden gun to shoot at imaginary enemy tanks.
68.What are put on Yang Yu’s bookshelf?
A. Books
B. Plastic C. Tanks
made by himself D. Enemy
tanks
69. Why does Yang Yu build tanks?
A. They are valuable
B. He wants to save money
C. His family needs them
D. For fun
70. What is the writer’s attitude in this
passage?
A. His tanks don’t look as professionally
as those in stores.
B. Store-bought tanks are too expensive
C. DIY was a way of life in the past.
D. DIY is a good way of life.

The
Balance of Nature
Here are some animals and a kind of flower. They live under the same
sky. They seem to have a peaceful life, but actually they are not so friendly
to each other.
Butterflies live on flowers. When a butterfly appears over a frog; it
may be killed. And a snake enjoys swallowing a frog. As an eagle catches sight
of a snake, it would have the snake for its good dinner. They obey such a
natural law all the time. So we shouldn’t break the balance of nature. Only in
this way can we see various animals and plants on the earth.
How important it is for us to keep
the balance of nature!
