第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分 Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred(留下创伤) her for life. The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame. Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie’s body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s body, surgeons(外科医生)performed complex skin grafts(移植) to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body. When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn’t play with her. “ I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.” Today, age 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin grafts. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims. She is a member of the Scottish Burned Chindren’s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridgeshire for the charity’s first summer camp. “I’ll show them how to shrug off unkind stares from others,” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars,” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.” 56.What would be the best title of the passage? A. Angel of Hope B. A seriously burned girl survives C. Permanent scars and pain for a girl D. Shrug off unkind stares 57. How many operations has Ammie already had? A. One B. Twelve C. Thirteen D. Fifteen 58. What did other children do when Ammie first went to school? A. They were friendly to her B. They laughed at her C. They were cruel to her D. They were afraid of her 59. Ammie will teach the younger children at the Graffham Water Center to ____. A. hide their scars by proper dressing B. face others’ unkindness bravely C. recover quickly D. live a normal life 60. Which of the following words is not proper to describe Ammie? A. Confident B. Outgoing C. Optimistic D. Fashionable |

When I was a boy, every holiday that I had seemed wonderful.In those days the sun seemed to shine always brightly 31 the water was always warm. Sometimes we left the beach and walked in the country, 32 ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were 33 in one’s pockets or good places where one could 34 ice creams. Each day seemed a lifetime. Although I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good 35 is much the same as it was. I 36 like the sun and warm sand and the sound of waves beating the rocks. I no longer wish to 37 any sand house or sand garden, and I dislike sweets. 38 , I love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers. Sometimes I 39 what my ideal holiday will be like when I am old.

In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic achievement and confident that their degree would help them find a good job. However, in the past four years the job market has changed dramatically. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets in years. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose University, got a degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs. Four years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2003. There were many high-tech job opportunities. Graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance and paid vacations. However, “Times have changed and it’s a new market,” according to Cheryl Allmen- Vinnidge of the San Jose State Career Center. Allmen-Vinniage says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several internships(实习), and they’ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information system management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines in starting salaries. Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may just end up going back to school. “I’d like to teach college some day and that requires more schooling, which would be great in bad economy.” he said. In conclusion, these days, to some students a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth. For now, they can only hope its value will increase over time. 小题1:The word in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.A.skill | B.interests | C.opportunities | D.applications | 小题2:Which of the following majors can get a job easily?A.teaching | B.accounting | C.political science | D.computer science | 小题3:The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ________.A.the best way to get rich is not to get a college degree | B.most students with degrees will not be able to find jobs | C.having a college degree does not qualify one for travel discounts | D.a college degree does not mean that one will find a well-paid job | 小题4:Ryan Stewart will have to ________.A.change his major | B.get a job teaching | C.go back to school | D.become a religious leader | 小题5:The main idea of this passage is that ________.A.a lot of graduates are losing their jobs | B.Ryan Stewart has not been able to find a job | C.salaries in some fields have increased in the past year | D.the job market has changed dramatically over the past 4 years |

Of all the animals in the animal kingdom, which one (aside from man) is the cleverest? There are several ways of measuring the intelligence of animals. In one test a scientist sets three same cans on a table. While the animal watches, he puts food under one of the cans. Then he leads the animal away. Some time later, he brings it back to see if it remembers which can has the food. No smelling is allowed; the animal must go directly to the correct can or it fails. This is called a delayed- response text. The idea is to find out how long an animal’s memory can keep information. The scientists would try showing the cans to the animal one hour later, or two hours later, or even a full day later. They discovered that chimpanzees and elephants had the best memory, and were able to remember the correct can for at least twenty hours. No other animal is close. Dogs came next, but they only remembered for nine hours. To settle the matter, the scientists designed a huge maze (迷宫) and ran the chimps and elephants through it. The maze was very difficult, with many blind paths and dead ends. It took the chimps (chimpanzees) ten minutes to find their way out. The elephants needed half an hour. Even allowing for the elephants’ slower rate of speed, the test shows that chimpanzees are the cleverest animals. From this and other tests, the scientists drew the following conclusion: an animal’s intelligence depends on the size of its brain in proportion (比例) to the size of its body. The elephant’s brain weighs ten pounds. But this is only 1/600th of its 6,000 pounds body. A chimp’s brain weighs about one pound, or 1/120th of its total body weight. So in proportion to its body size, the chimp has four times as much brain as the elephant----more brain for less body. The chimp is the champ! 小题1:Which is the best title ?A.The Elephant’s Memory | B.The Cleverest Animal | C.Judging Intelligence | D.The Chimp’s Brain | 小题2:The main idea of this passage is that ________.A.there are several ways of measuring the intelligence of animals | B.chimps and elephants have the best memory | C.intelligence tests show that the chimp is the cleverest animal | D.the scientists designed a huge maze and ran the chimps and elephants through it | 小题3:The delayed-response test is designed to test an animal’s________.A.eyesight | B.intelligence | C.learning ability | D.memory | 小题4:The passage tells that elephants ________.A.never forget things | B.are more clever than chimps | C.are slower-moving than chimps | D.have better memories than chimps | 小题5:According to the passage, a rhinoceros (犀牛) that weighs 2100 pounds, and has a 3-pound brain is ________.A.as clever as a chimp | B.more clever than an elephant | C.less clever than an elephant | D.as clever as an elephant |
