第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题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
Many thousands of years ago,people had not learned to build houses or shelters of any kind.They lived in caves where they were protected from the rain and snow.The caves were also safe places in which they could sleep without being attacked by bears or wolves.
The tools these people used were made of stone,so we call those times the Stone Age.A hard,sharp-edged piece of stone was an axe-head.These people learnt to bind(捆) the stone to a wooden handle using the tough sinews(腱) from legs of animals they had killed.Pieces of flint(燧石) were collected and smashed(粉碎) with heavier rocks to make pointed flakes(薄片) which were used as arrow tips.Flint stones with sharp edges were used as knives.
The people of the Stone Age hunted animals which included deer,wild horses and wild cattle.After eating the meat,they took the animal’s hide,stretched it out on the ground and scraped off the fat.They left hair on the outside.Then,after they had softened the hide by stamping on it,they polished(磨光) the inside with sandstone.The finished skins gave them rugs and clothes.For needless they poked(戳) thin pointed bones through the skins and stitched them with fine sinews.
We are not certain when the Stone Age began.Scientists think it could have been over a million years ago.They do know that it ended in about 3000 B.C.when people learnt to make things from copper and bronze.There were Stone Age people living in South Africa in the Kalahari Desert,Australia and New Guinea when white settlers arrived not many years ago.In distant parts of New Guinea some tribes have only just begun to use tools made of iron.
56.The reason why we call those times the Stone Age is because ______.
A.people built stone houses
B.people wore stone clothes
C.the tools people used then were made of stone
D.the caves people lived in were made of stone
57.Why did people live in caves many thousands of years ago?
A.Because they found them safe from attack.
B.Because they found them warm.
C.Because they found them big enough for them to live in.
D.Because the caves were animals’shelters.
58.Where did the people of the Stone Age get the sinews when they made tools?
A.They got the sinews from their own legs.
B.They got the sinews from wolves and wild horses’legs they had.
C.They picked them up when they found them.
D.They got the sinews from the legs of animals they had killed.
59.The word “hide”means ______.
A.后腿
B.兽皮
C.骨头
D.兽毛
60.The Stone Age didn’t end until ______.
A.people learnt to make things from copper and bronze

Humans have observed and explored the oceans since ancient times.But it wasn’t until the 19th century that the scientific study of oceans began.The first major scientific expedition,and the one that firmly established the field of oceanography,was the around-the-world voyage of H.M.S. Challenger.Setting out from England in 1872,the Challenger spent almost three and a half years gathering a wealth of information about seawater,sea life,and the ocean floor.Major oceanographic expeditions since then have included the South Atlantic voyage of the German ship Meteor in 1926 and the Deep-Sea Drilling Project from 1968 to 1983.Many individuals also have played important roles in advancing our understanding of oceans,beginning with Matthew Fontaine Maury in the mid-1800s;his work on oceanography and navigation led to a uniform system of weather reporting at sea.Since Maury’s time,oceanography has progressed rapidly.Early oceanographers had to contend themselves with tossing buckets overboard to see what they might haul in.Today’s oceanographers are equipped with space images,supercomputer models,and deep-sea robots that can crawl along the seafloor.As they set goals for the
future,some oceanographers even dream of doing research in permanently manned stations on the bottom of the oceans.
1.Which of the following statements is true?
A.Humans didn’t explore the oceans until the 19th century.
B.Maury first established the field of oceanography.
C.Maury spent a lot of time in studying seawater,sea life,and the bottom of the ocean.
D.Many individuals also plays a very important part in advancing our understanding of oceans,such as Maury.
2.How many expeditions are mentioned in this passage?
A.Four.
B.Three.
C.Five.
D.Two.
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A.The process of the oceanography has stopped at one time.
B.Maury’s work on oceanography contributes a lot to weather reporting at sea.
C.Nowadays the equipment for studying the oceans needs improving,because it is out of date.
D.The expeditions in the past had great difficulty and made a lot of efforts in order to study the oceans.

Benjamin Banneker was born a few months before another great American—George Washington.Benjamin was black,but he was not a slave.He and his mother and his grandmother were free.
Benjamin’s grandmother came from England.In America she got a job and worked for many years to pay for her boat trip across the ocean.After working many more years,she saved enough money to buy a farm.Benjamin lived with her for a while.She taught him to read and write and do arithmetic(算术).
Benjamin’s neighbors knew that he was clever.They were not surprised when he built a large wooden clock.He made each piece after studying a small pocket watch.The clock made him famous,for it was one of the first clocks built in America.People from other places began to send hard problems of all kinds for Benjamin to settle.
Thomas Jefferson learned of Benjamin Banneker’s ability(能力)to settle hard problems.He asked Banneker to help build the city that was to be the capital of the United States—Washington,D.C.
Banneker worked hard on the plans for the city.He marked where the streets and
buildings—the Capital(国会大厦),the White House,and many others—should be built.
Later,L’Enfant,the Frenchman who had designed the new city,had a quarrel,and went back to France in anger.He took all of the plans with him.The workmen couldn’t build without any plans to follow.
For a while it seemed that the plans for the capital might have to be changed.But Benjamin Banneker remembered the plans he had helped draw.He drew each again just as he once had built each piece of his clock.
If it weren’t for Benjamin Banneker,Washington,D.C. might look very different from the way it does today.

A.he made one of the first clocks in America

请根据所给信息写一篇介绍斯蒂芬·霍金的短文，词数100左右。

斯蒂芬·霍金1942年出生，获得过物理学博士学位，在英国剑桥大学作过研究工作。

到21岁的时候他就已经觉察到，他一走动就难免摔倒。

虽然他患有日趋严重的脑病，但是他决定继续从事研究和写作。

他必须找到办法使自己即使今后只有一只手的手指能够活动也能讲话、阅读和写作。

他的那本《关于时间的历史》在1988年成了畅销书。

Key:
Stephen Hawking was born in 1942.He took his doctor’s degree in physics and did research at Cambridge University in English.By the age of 21 he had already begun to notice that it was difficult to move around without falling over.Although he had a disease of the brain which was getting worse,he decided to continue with his research and his writing.He had to find ways that would make it possible for him to speak,read and write,even though he could later only move the fingers of one hand.In 1988 his book “On History of Time ”became a best-seller.

21.A. present 有多种含义和用法: “目前的形势” “present situation”; “在场的人” “the people present”, (注意: 后置定语)
22. B. 从答语She is tall and pretty可知: 询问的是外貌. 所以选用what is she like? 但要注意,此句也可表示询问对某人的总体评价: ---What is she like?---She is kind and ready to help others. 选项A “What do you think of sb.主要用来询问对某人的总体评价, 这与原题的应答语不符. 选项 C 一般用来询问一个人的身体状况. 选项D 相当于选项A.
23.B. B项现在分词短语preparing ….作为work 的目的状语，是伴随的动作。

24.B. 本题考查助动词“do”的强调用法. 本题的语境是“前几天的确发生了一场可怕的事故”, 而且时态是过去时，故选B。

25.A. 本题意为：到十点的时候，我意识到了我的朋友不会来了。

26. D.本题考查形容词比较级的一个特殊用法。

当两物相比较,其中一样较另一样几倍时,有一种表示方式为“n times + as + adj./adv.+as”根据这个固定表达,选D. 27．B。

空白处后面是一个被定语从句which they are always eating 修饰的名词词组，而非完整的句子，因此应用介词，选B。

28.C. 从句意可知，“约翰和他的同事厌烦一个接一个的考试”，因此应用be tired of doing sth.“主语+ as well as +名词”作主语，谓语动词的数应与主语一致。

29.B.本题考查not a bit 与not a little 的区别. not a bit 表示“一点儿也不”=not at all;not a little 表示“非常,很”;从答句的后半部分可以看出It couldn’t be any better.表示“这个结果不能更好了”,意思是“非常满意”.
30. D本题考查动词辨析.A、B为不及物动词；test 意为本“测试”不合句意，examined意为“仔细检查”.故答案为D。

31.A.“呆在俄罗斯”是过去的动作，因为有Glad to see you back.一句,故排除B、D两项。

How long 不与过去进行时连用，因此选A。

32. A．By the end of last year作时间状语时，谓语动词应该用过去完成时。

本句谓语动词用的是现在完成进行时，故选Since合适，表示从过去某一时间开始一直在做某事。

33. B 一段时间+ago与过去时态连用，一段时间+before与过去完成时连用；
34. B 此句为肯定句，as well as与…….一样好，后一个as起连接作用，不能省略
35. B. 主语从句中缺少的是have的宾语，因此用what，后面是that引导的表语从句。

其他三项不合文意。

37. A 文章主要围绕美国是否需要设立总统这一话题进行阐述，而与会代表的意见不可能完
全一致，故用some。

38. B “是否有必要拥有一位总统”, need to do... “有必要做…”。

39. A even在此处用以加强语气。

40. B 表示“对……的战争”用介词against。

41. B make a decision为一固定短语。

42. A 根据上下文可知。

43. B one…another…，一个……，另一个……。

44. B rule “统治”。

45. A would like “想要…”, 为固定搭配。

46. D term of office为固定短语，表示“任期”。

47. D 由下文暗示可知。

48. C be afraid “担心…”。

49. C 此处是spend some time(in) doing sth.结构。

50. A “为下一届选举拉选票”, 据此用next。

51. C 其他三项均不合文意。

52. C 根据下文动词remain前省略to可知用let。
