三、阅读理解(共15小题,计分30分)
阅读下列短文,并做每篇后面的题目。从每题所给的四个选项中,选出能完成所给句
子的最佳选项。
(A)
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own
language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children
—like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents—seem to learn two languages
almost as easily as one. In school it is not easy to learn a second language because
the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
Our mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see
but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera,
there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends.
In the same way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever
(永远)in our mind.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
36.We usually begin to learn our own language by ________ it.
A .speaking
D. teaching
37.If you have a good ________, you’ll have less difficulty in learning
B. hearing
C. saying
something.
A. teacher
38.The children who live abroad with their parents can learn two languages
D. family
B. camera
C. memory
more easily because ________.
A. they are very clever
B. they have good teachers
C. they have more chances to use these languages
D. they have a better life
39.________ can take photos of what can be seen, felt, heard, smelt and tasted.
A. A camera
40.Memory is ________ that we keep in our mind and carry about.
A. the best diary
C. a great help
B. the best camera
D. a beautiful picture
D. A man’s mind
C. A diary
B. Memory
(B)
The world is not only hungry, it will also be thirsty for water. About 97 %
of water on the earth is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink or use the
other 3 % of the fresh water(淡水)which comes from rivers,lakes and underground.
On the other hand, because the number of people in the world is becoming larger
and larger, more and more fresh water is needed. So water shortage becomes a big
problem.
How can we work out this problem? Scientists have found some ways to turn salt
water into fresh water. One important way is to boil(使达到沸点)sea water with
high heat until vapor(蒸汽)rises, leaving the salt. In this way, a lot of fresh
water can be made quickly.
But heating is not the only way to get fresh water. Other ways are tried, for
example, digging deep wells, keeping rain water and preventing rivers from being
polluted.
Which way is the best? To get the most fresh water for the least money is the
best.
41.Where does the fresh water people need come from?
A. Sea water
C. Underground
42.From this passage we know fresh water ________.
B. Rivers ard lakes
D. Both 3 and C
C. being short for
D. being less
B. being short of
B. can be used in many ways
D. is needed by more and more people
A. only comes from the rain
C. e an be found in many factories
43.The word ‘shortage’ in this passage means‘________’.
A. being enough
44.What is the writer mainly talking about in this passage?
A. The ways of getting fresh water.
B. How to use fresh water in our daily life.
C. All people in the world should save water.
D. Different ways of making water in different places.
45.Which of the following is true?
A. Hunger is the only problem in our world.
B. Water shortage is the only problem in our world.
C. Scientists don’t want to spend money solving the water problem.
D. Scientists have been working hard and have made much progress in solving
water problem.
(C)
Today there are 6 billion people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be
12.5 billion. This is a lot of people to feed. We need more food.
One way to produce more food is by growing stronger plants. For thousands of
years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants
for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able
to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic material(遗传物质).Foods
from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified foods(转基因食品),
or GM foods.
By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants.
They make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in
our diseases: a kind of rice is being prepared(准备),for example, which stops
people from becoming blind.
Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more
money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food.
GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM
foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against
them, because they are unnatural. They may feed people, then hurt them or their
children later. But, both rich and poor countries are very interested in their use,
and they are not going to go away. In 2050 we may think differently about them.
C. scientists
D. plants
B. workers
46.GM foods are made by ________.
A. farmers
47.What are the good things about GM foods?
A. They make plants strong against diseases.
B. They are unnatural.
C. They can help in human diseases.
D. Both A and C.
48.GM foods ________.
A. are a quick way to produce food
C. are safe
49.Why do some people not like GM foods?
A. They are not useful
B. grow in the wild(野生)
D. are grown only in rich countries
B. They are not helpful
D. They are not cheap
C. They are not natural
50.From the reading we know that ________.
A. GM foods will disappear one day in the future.
B. GM foods will not disappear in the future.
C. People will not be interested in GM foods.
D. People will have to stop using GM foods.

Possible version:
Dear editor,
I am a middle school student. I’ve just read some articles on spitting problem
in newspapers. They say that in order to prevent the spread of SARS virus(防止
非典病毒的传播)some local governments have made a decision: if someone spits in
a public place, he or she will be fined heavily(从重罚款). I quite agree with
this decision.
It’s a bad habit to spit on the ground. It carries and spreads diseases, pollutes
our environment and does harm to our health. It is very important to protect the
environment. We should educate the public to change their bad habits, and punish
those who spit in public places. If all the people care about(take care of / protect)
the environment, our city will become more beautiful.
Yours sincerely,
Wang Nan
