三、阅读理解(共 20 小题,40 分。每小题 2 分)
第一节:阅读下面短文,从各题 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳答案。
Travelling Abroad
A
Many tourists go and see parks, museums and castles when they visit a new place.
There are many things I like about travelling, but waiting in line to buy museum tickets
and then having your visit ruined by noisy tour groups is not one of them. The things
that make places special are all around the famous buildings, not inside them.
My recent trip to India is a good example of this. By far the most interesting part
of it was getting to know people— bicycle-taxi drivers, policemen riding elephants and
children trying to earn
some money by cleaning shoes. Meeting various people was all so
amazing that I didn't need to do any "proper" sightseeing.
I also have fantastic memories of Florence. It was a boiling hot day and people
lined up for at least a kilometer long outside the museum. Instead of joining it, I sat
in a shady square, ate a delicious pizza and listened to a man singing opera songs to
only a few listeners. If I had waited in line, I would have missed this experience.
One of the best things about travelling is creating memories to bring back. When I
got back home from a holiday in Malaysia, I made some of the dishes I'd tasted in the
food market. Maybe my results weren't as good as the real thing, but they reminded me of
the places and the people I'd met—far better than anything from a gift shop.
41. On his trip to India, the author enjoyed
A. riding on an elephant
B. playing with children
C. visiting famous buildings
D. meeting different people' '
42. In Florence, the author
A. went to a food market
B. talked with local people
C. experienced local life
D. lined up for museum tickets
43. The author cooked Malaysian food at home because
A. it brought back memories
B. it was easy to prepare
C. he wanted to sell the food
D. he was going to Malaysia
44. What does the author try to tell us in the passage?
A. How to prepare for a trip.
B. What to take when travelling.
C. Where to buy gifts in a foreign city.
D. What to look for when travelling.

C
Have you ever been to the beach? Did you see a man with a headset
pointing a long stick at the ground? If so,you might have seen a person
using a metal detector(VMM). People use these tools to find metal.Metal
detectors make magnetic(AVtLIA) waves. These waves go through the ground.
The waves change when they hit metal. Then the tool makes a short high
sound. This lets the person with the tool know that metal is close.
The first metal detectors were meant to help miners to dig out minerals such as
coal and gold from the earth. They were big and cost a lot of money. They used a lot of
power. And worst of all, they didn't work well. People kept trying to make them better.
Metal detectors got smaller. Now they are light and cheap. They also work better.
That is why people bring them to the beach. They can look for rings in the water or
phones in the sand. Metal detectors help them find these things.
Metal detectors also protect people. They help to keep guns out of some places.
Guards use special thin sticks to look for knives, guns or metal on a person.
These tools save lives in other ways too. During wars, soldiers plant bombs in the
ground. When the war ends, they don't clean them up. This is unsafe for the people who
live in those places. So they use metal detectors to find bombs and remove them.
These tools also make clothes safer. It sounds funny, but it's true. Most clothes
are made in big factories. Needles are easy to break and get stuck in the clothes. They
would hurt people. So our clothes are examined carefully by metal detectors.
Let's hear it for metal detectors. They make the world a safer place.
49. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A. How metal detectors work.
B. Why magnetic waves change.
C. The danger of metal detectors.
D. The sounds of a metal detector.
50. What were the first metal detectors used for?
A. Removing bombs.
B. Finding needles in the clothes.
C. Looking for minerals.
D. Searching for dangerous things.
51. According to the passage, metal detectors can make people feel
A. nervous
B. special
C. safe
D. healthy
52. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Inventor of a Useful Tool
B. Usage of Metal Detectors
C. Finding Underground Metals
D. Changes of Magnetic Waves
How a Teacher Can Change Your Life
D
Smiling with satisfaction, Karin Anderson continues to conduct while dozens of
students were playing their instruments, and Gustav Mahler's Fifth Symphony? fills the
hall. The emotional(W6n) drama of conducting an orchestra(MR*111) of teenagers is part
of a typical day's teaching for Karin. "Teaching is like surfing," she says. "You have
no idea what's going to happen and there's no guarantee that things will go according to
plan. You have to be on guard at all times." But the unpredictability of her students
doesn't make her job hard, she says. In fact, working with sometimes difficult teenagers,
which she says might exhaust other teachers, is what keeps her coming back day after day.
Karin believes music lessons may have unexpected benefits. Research has found that
they improve a child's language development, and the reasoning skills extremely
important to maths and science. "We can't be sure if music really makes kids perform
better academically, or if smarter students just naturally become involved with music
anyway, but there might be a connection. Certainly, schools need something for those
brighter students. It's not so much giving them a release from studying hard, but more
that they need to be stretched, and pushed in a different direction."
But the benefits of music education are for everyone, not just the clever kids.
Karin points out that there are strong connections between music and the motivation to
learn, the ability to focus, and even someone's confidence and tolerance.
Music can also help to create a positive, supportive learning environment, which
Karin always tries to create in her orchestra. Being grouped by age, not ability, makes
everyone new feel welcome and part of a family. "In school you're very aware of social
classes—the rich kids and the poor kids—and all the little groups that gossip all the
time," says orchestra member Laura Greene. "But in the orchestra, everyone is part of
the group, and equally important. We're all trying to improve together. We've all got
unique talents."
In Karin's classroom, there are no awards decorating the walls. She says this might
put the orchestra under pressure or make them worry about competition, though in fact
the school has won many prizes, which she is clearly proud of. "What's most important to
me is that everyone works as a team," she says. "It's a magic moment when there's
absolute unity."
Karin wants the orchestra to widen the horizons of everyone who joins. When some
parents weren't able to afford certain trips of the orchestra, Karin surprised everyone
by organizing what she called "scholarships", with the school paying part of the money
to students who had been positive and cooperative. They weren't awarded on the basis of
who had a special gift for music.
In her office, Karin proudly displays a picture of another student. Karin says,
"Thomas was smart, but he hated school, and he seemed cut off from his peers, alone in a
world of his own. The orchestra made him come out of his shell." After graduating,
Thomas wrote to Karin, "I'm so grateful to you for allowing me to play the most
beautiful music in the world, even though I never took it up professionally. I
understand now that music educates the mind and the heart, and helps you to connect with
others."
0 The Fifth Symphony was composed by Gustav Mahler and is one of his well-known
works. Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) was an Austrian composer and conductor.
