第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题，每题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。
A
He grew up playing in the narrow, crowded streets of Manhattan ’s Chinatown .He has lived and worked there for all his 61 years.But as Wee Wong walks the neighborhood these days, he cannot understand half the Chinese conversations he hears.“I can’t even order food on East Broadway,” he said, “they don’t speak English; I don’t speak Putonghua.I’m just as lost as everyone else.” Cantonese, a dialect from southern China that has dominated the Chinatowns of North America for decades, is being rapidly swept aside by Mandarin, the national language of China and the lingua franca of most of the latest Chinese immigrants.
The change can be heard in the neighborhood’s lively restaurants and solemn church services, in parks, street markets and language schools.It has been accelerated by Chinese-American parents, including many who speak Cantonese at home, as they urge their children to learn Putonghua for the advantages it could bring as China ’s influence grows in the world.
But the eclipse (黯然失色) of Cantonese — in New York, China and around the world — has become a challenge for older people who speak only that dialect and face increasing isolation unless they learn Putonghua or English.Though Cantonese and Putonghua share nearly all the same written characters, the pronunciations are vastly different; when spoken, Putonghua may be incomprehensible (不可理解的) to a Cantonese speaker.
With Putonghua’s popularity has come a reorganization of power in Chinese-American communities, where the recent immigrants are gaining economic and political power, said Peter Kwong, a professor of Asian-American studies at Hunter College .
“The fact of the matter is that you have a whole generation switch, with very few people speaking only Cantonese,” he said.The Cantonese-speaking populace (人口) , he added, “is not the player anymore.” The switch mirrors a big change under way in China .
56.According to the first paragraph, Wee Wong ______.
A.is very fond of Putonghua B.is lost on East Broadway
C.can’t understand Chinese at all D.can speak both English and Cantonese
57.The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ______.
A.China’s influence B.Chinese conversation
C.the national language of China D.the rise of Putonghua
58.Chinese-American parents urge their children to learn Putonghua so as to ______.
A.follow the current fashion
B.make Putonghua more popular
C.have an opportunity to work in China
D.make them adapt of the new situation
59.What difference will Putonghua’s popularity make?
A.Few people would like to learn Cantonese.
B.More and more Americans begin to learn Putonghua.
C.New immigrants’ influence is becoming significant.
D.Putonghua will become the most widely used language in the world.
60.The underlined word “isolation” in Paragraph 3 probably means _____.
A.loneliness B.competition C.change D.choice
B
The furred or hairy sea mammals such as seals have a variety of interesting adaptations that permit them to spend a long time under water, sometimes at considerable depths.However, they rise frequently to breathe and emerge from the ocean to sleep and relax on a sandy beach, rock, floating ice or snow cave above the water.Diving tends to be used for hunting purposes.
The situation is less clear for whales, sea cows and manatees.The whales evolved from land animals that returned to the sea millions of years ago.Though whales come to the surface to breathe air into their lungs, they can spend a remarkably long time between breaths, up to an hour in some species, and spend nearly all their lives under water.
However, whales learned to hold their breath so well that they lost their involuntary breathing mechanism (无意识的呼吸功能) and must be conscious to continue to breathe.Not only will a reflex (本能反应)have to take care of breathing, it will have to take them to the surface for air.Also, the blow hole (鲸头顶的呼吸孔) automatically closes and must be opened voluntarily by the whale.Whales would drown if they fell asleep or were knocked unconscious.They must think about each breath.It cannot have an unconscious sleep as we know it.“There are theories that the whale has the ability to rest half of the brain and control breathing functions with the other half, but they are just theories.” Said Mr.Walsh, director of marine mammal training at the Aquarium for Wildlife Conservation in Coney Island, Brooklyn .
Sea cows and manatees tend to live in warm, calm, shallow, vegetation-rich waters where they can float lazily at or near the surface.They do not expend much energy to control body temperature and require little oxygen.They may sleep or rest supported by the bottom of their body.When they hold their breath, large blubber deposits and natural buoyancy (鲸脂层和自然浮力) let them float at the surface and engage in a resting behavior, though not an unconscious sleep.
6 1 .What is the passage mainly about?
A.Ocean animals’ hunting skills.
B.Typical endangered ocean animals.
C.How sea mammals sleep.
D.How animals float.
6 2 .Which of the following animals can have a deep sleep?
A.Seals.B.Whales C.Sea cows D.Manatees
6 3 .We can learn from Paragraph 3 that whales _________.
A.float near the surface to sleep
B.may not sleep at all
C.breathe in water
D.can have an unconscious sleep
6 4 .Mr.Walsh’s attitude towards the saying that the whale has the ability to rest half of the brain is ______.
A.curious B.positive C.doubtful D.opposed
6 5 .According to the last paragraph, sea cows ______.
A.should think about each breath
B.will choke if they fall asleep
C.usually sleep in deep water
D.mainly live at or near the surface
C
A tall Irish American Greg Quinn walks into your office, puts a drinking glass on the desk, and pours out a cup of a deep-purple juice from currants (醋栗).
“This stuff used to be illegal,” he says.“We’re the guys who got the law changed.Four times the vitamin C of orange juice… Try it.”
As a farmer and juice maker, Greg Quinn has big plans for this super-fruit, which can improve night vision, lower blood pressure and manage pain.The ban on planting currants was lifted(解禁) in 1966, but as of the 21 st century, 12 states still had restrictions.Among them was New York .
Quinn went to New York and began knocking on doors.He returned once a week, walking the halls, leaving his business cards, and begging for appointments.But he made little headway(进展)—until one day, a Wall Street Journal reporter interviewed him for a story.Six months later, a la w was passed, allowing currant farming.
Quinn ordered seedlings(幼苗) from Canada and started planting.Because of its strong, sharp smell, the black currant was nearly always processed rather than eaten as a fruit.Juice seemed like the best option for reaching the most customers.
Quinn started importing black currant juice to kick-start the market.Working with New Zealand growers, he combined varieties to develop a bottled juice called Currant C.Now into its fourth year, Currant C is making money.
Down the road, Quinn would like to look deeper into all the health benefits of the black currant.“It’s a super-fruit,” he says.“I’ve got to keep spreading the word here.It’s just too good to keep it a secret.
6 6.Which of the following is NOT a benefit of currants?
A.Lowering blood pressure.
B.Decreasing vitamin C content.
C.Improving night vision.
D.Managing pain.
6 7.To let customers accept the black currant, Greg Quinn ______.

D.processed it in the form of juice
6 8.What directly helped pass a law allowing currant farming in New York?
A.He consulted the government
B.He left his business cards everywhere.
C.He begged for appointments
D.He was interviewed by a journalist
69 .What can we infer from the passage?
A.The black currant is the best fruit in the world.
B.Currant farming in New Zealand is still forbidden.
C.Quinn cares a lot about the research of the black currant.
D.Quinn often receives interviews for his new products.
70 .Which word can we use to describe Greg Quinn best?

C.Proud D.Selfish
D
The public has voted the X-ray machine as the best invention.Out of nearly 50,000 votes cast, one in five people named it for having made the greatest impact on the past, present and future.
Ten of the most significant objects in science, engineering, technology and medicine were selected for the vote.
Information on all the items is found at the Science Museum in London .
The first three positions were filled by medical inventions or discoveries, the X-ray machine being followed by the discoveries of penicillin and the DNA double helix(螺旋) structure.
X-rays provided the first possibility of looking inside someone"s body without cutting them open— a massive medical advance.
The particular X-ray machine in question — the Reynolds machine in the Museum"s Making the Modern World Gallery — was a "do-it-yourself" experiment by a father and son who were so inspired by news of the discovery of the X-ray that they set about building the equipment in their own home.
Museum curator (馆长) Katie Maggs said: "It"s very inspirational to budding scientists to learn that an invention now declared the most important in world history could be pioneered by enthusiastic amateur inventors."
Professor Andy Adam, president of the Royal College of Radiologists, was delighted to learn of the result.
He said the X-ray machine had revolutionized medical practice and that the technology had now advance so much that we are reaching the era of the "transparent patient".
Culture Secretary Ben Bradshaw said: "Any competition that pits the Apollo 10 spacecraft against Stephenson"s Rocket, and the DNA double helix against the Model T Ford, is bound to provide many talking points.
"The public"s choice of the X-ray machine as the winner is testament to our insatiable curiosity to find out how things work."
The poll(投票) was conducted as part of the Science Museum"s events to mark its centenary.The 10 objects form a special Centenary Journey trail through the museum galleries.
71 .According to the results of the vote, which of the following are on the t op three among inventions or discoveries?
A.X-ray machine, Apollo 10 capsule and steam engine.
B.X-ray machine, DNA double helix and penicillin.
C.Stephenson’s Rocket, penicillin and the Model T Ford.
D.Stephenson’s Rocket, Apollo 10 capsule and V2 Rocket Engine.
72.Which of the following is TRUE about the X-ray machine in the Fallery?
A.It was made by the Reynolds Machine Company.
B.It was a product directed by great scientists.
C.It was built by a father and his son in their own home.
D.It was small in size and advanced in technology.
73 .From the underlined part we know Professor Andy Adam means ______.
A.the X-ray machine has greatly improved medical practice
B.the patients are all transparent in the eyes of doctors
C.with the help of the X-ray machine, everything is transparent
D.there is no need to cut someone’s body open during operations now
74 .Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

One possible version:
Recently, many cities of China have been blanketed in haze, causing sever healthy problems to people.I have some suggestions for you when you meet such weather.
Firstly, stay at home in such weather.Don’t go to the public places.When you must go outside, remember to wear a mask, which is helpful to prevent the pollution.Secondly, don’t open the windows before the bad weather becomes better, because the air outside is very dirty.Last but not the least, eat more vegetables and less meat, which can make your body strong.
This is what I think is useful to our body.So long as you are careful enough, you can reduce the chance to be affected by haze.

W: I"ve no idea.Hundreds, I suppose.
M: And how often do you hear of a crash? Once or twice a year?
W: Yes, but aero—planes fly so high and fast that once is enough.
M: There are more road accidents per day than air deaths per year.Air transport is really safe compared with road transport.
W: I still prefer to go by sea.Ships may not travel fast but as least you can relax.I"d love a trip on a luxury liner like the Queen Elizabeth II.
M: It"s fine if you"re a good sailor, but have you ever traveled far in a rough sea?
W: No.I"ve only been in a boat once.I sailed down the River Thames on a sightseeing tour, but in any case I"d rather be sea — sick than dead.
Test 10
Hello, everyone.I"d like to tell you a story about Miss Richards.
Miss Richards was a teacher at a school for boys and girls.She taught chemistry and physics from the lowest to the highest classes in the school.Sometimes the new classes learned rapidly, but sometimes they were very slow, and then Miss Richards had to repeat things many times.
One year, the first class had been studying chemistry for several weeks when Miss Richards suddenly asked, "What is water? Who knows? Hands up."
There was silence for a few seconds, and Miss Richards felt sad but then one boy raised his hand.
"Yes, Dick?" said Miss Richards encouragingly.He was not one of the brightest students in the class, so she was glad this boy could answer.
"Water is a liquid which has no color until you wash your hands in it, then it turns black," the boy replied.
