第三局部：阅读理解〔一共20小题；每一小题2分，满分是40分〕
阅读以下短文，从每一小题所给的四个选项〔A、B、C和D〕中，选出最正确选项。

A
Jules Verne was a Frenchman who was born in 1828 and died in 1905. He read a great many scientific books and wrote a number of exciting books about the things which he thought that
scientists and inventors would one day be able to do. Years later, many of the things really happened. At that time, however, his stories seemed like fairy tales.
Jules Verne’s most famous book is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.〔A league is an old word meaning a distance of about three miles〕. In those days submarines had not been invented but he described an underwater ship very like a modern one.
Many of the things Jules wrote about in his books more than a hundred years ago to look into the future, however, were surprisingly exact. In his book From the Earth to the Moon he wrote at the age of about forty, three men and a dog made a journey around the moon in a hollow ship fired from a gun. After going around the moon, they returned to the earth and splashed down into the sea not far from where the first real moon traveler landed in July, 1969.
56. Jules wrote a lot of exciting books partly because he _______.
A. liked to do much reading on science
B. liked reading fairy tales
C. was a great inventor
D. was a famous scientist
57. Some of what Jules described in his books _______.
A. is almost the same as what happened years later
B. is quite different from what happened years later
C. never comes true
D. seems impossible to the people today
58. Many of the things really happened _______.
A. as soon as Jules’ books were published
B. some years after his books were published
C. at that time
D. when Jules was in his forties
59. The thing Jules described in his book From the Earth to the Moon is _______.
A. as large as the spaceship today
B. similar to the spaceship today
C. a gun used to send up a ship
D. an underwater ship
B
People often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It’s something we are born with and something we carry with us our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my op inion, it’s a waste of time. I don’t mean that we should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment.
Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating with (与……交往) different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never gotten rid of his shyness, but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend (传奇) among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared on countless films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terrified of meeting her.
I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity (不平安感) and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality do. Therefore, as we grow up and become adults, we haven’t allowed our social
skills to grow and develop. We are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was that our shyness first took root in our soul.
60. In the author’s view, shyness can be explained as _______.
A. a disease that can be easily cured
B. a not very normal mental condition
C. an emotional disability
D. something we pick up after birth
61. In the eyes of the author, it’s a waste of time to _______.
A. develop a healthy personality
B. talk with as many people as possible
C. study where shyness comes from
D. look for ways to do away with one’s shyness
62. Which of the following is TRUE about Johnny Carson?
A. He dared to speak in front of a national audience.
B. He had done away with his shyness carefully.
C. He was described as a hero in some legend books.
D. He failed to become a good talk show host.
63. The author thinks that our shyness is there because _______.
A. we are not open enough
B. we don’t feel safe at heart
C. we try to reach out to others all the time
D. we lack certain social skills
C
What will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only
make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even 500 years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. 500 years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume (设想) that man will continue to grow taller.
Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more —and eventually we shall need large ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then both sexes are likely to be bald (秃的)!
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
64. According to the passage, future man will be _______.
A. changing fast
B. changing slowly
C. the same as us
D. totally different from us
65. Future man is likely to be different from us in _______.
A. almost every way
B. only two ways
C. a great many ways
D. one or two ways
66. Future man’s hair will _______.
A. grow darker
B. stop growing completely
C. fall out more often
D. get longer
67. From the passage, we can conclude that future man will _______.
A. have a larger forehead and weaker eyes
B. have thoughts and emotions similar to ours
C. need glasses to see better
D. be bald and attractive
D

Since the beginning of time, man has been interested in the moon. The Romans designed a special day to show admi ration and respect to the moon. They called it “Moonday〞, or “Monday〞, as we know it today. Later, the great mind of Leonardo da Vinci studied the moon and designed a machine to carry a human to the moon. Leonardo said that one day a great machine bird would take a person to the moon and bring great honour to the home where it was born.
Four and a half centuries later, Leonardo’s idea was realized. Apollo 11 took three Americans Collins, Aldrin, and Armstrong to the moon. The mission (任务) did fill the whole world with great surprise, as Leonardo had said it would. Numerous essays, articles, and books were written about man’s first moon mission. But perhaps the most interesting story was one written before the event over 100 years before.
In 1865, French author Jules Verne wrote a story about the first journey to the moon. His story was very similar to the 1969 Apollo 11 mission.
Verne’s spacecraft also contained three men—two Americans and a Frenchman. The spacecraft was described as being almost the same size as Apollo 11. The launch(发射) site in Verne’s story was also in Florida. The spacecraft in Verne’s story was named the “Columbiad〞. The Apollo 11 command ship was called “Columbia〞. His account of sending the spacecraft into the space could easily have been written about how Apollo 11 was sent into the space.
Verne’s story was the same as the actual event in several other respects(方面). The speed of Verne’s spacecraft was 36,000 feet per second; Apollo’s was 35,533 feet per second. Verne’s spacecraft took 97 hours to reach the moon; Apollo’s time was 103 hours. Like Apollo’s spacemen, Verne’s spacemen took pictures of the moon’s surface, relaxed on their seats, cooked
with gas, and experienced weightlessness. They too came down in the Pacific and were picked up by an American warship.
What were the reasons for Jules Verne’s extreme accuracy(准确) in describing an event 100 years or more before it actually occurred? He based his writings on the laws of physics and astronomy. Nineteenth-century science and the vivid Verne’s imagination gave people an unbelievably accurate preview of one of the greatest events of the 20th century.
72. Jules Verne wrote his story of a man’s visit to the moon about _______.
A. 100 years before the Apollo 11 mission
B. 10 years before the Apollo 11 mission
C. four and one half centuries ago
D. 100 years ago
73. Verne’s story about the first journey to the moon is very similar to _______.
A. the second U. S. space mission
B. the Apollo 11 mission
C. Leonardo da Vinci’s story
D. numerous other books on the same subject
74. The passage suggests that Jules Verne _______.
A. developed the laws of physics
B. based his writings on the works of Leonardo da Vinci
C. was very lucky in what he had described about the future
D. knew a great deal about the laws of physics and astronomy
75. The passage mainly describes _______.
A. the rapid progress of mankind
B. Verne’s accurate preview of the future
C. the 1969 Apollo 11 moon mission
D. the 19th-century science and technology

Since that first trip three years ago, I’ve been to the forest four times a year to pick up rubbish. I’m often there for three hours. It makes me feel great to do something for the environment. After each trip, I look at all the rubbish I’ve found. If any of it is recyclable, I’ll keep it.
I can’t understand why people drop rubbish. But I will keep picking it up until they stop dropping it.
I know I am only doing a small bit to help the earth, but I still think it is important.

One possible version:
Nowadays television has become a necessity in almost every family and it is playing an important role in our daily life.
On one hand, television presents a very vivid world to us. On television, we can watch exciting Olympic football matches. We can travel to New York or go sightseeing in London. We can also “go〞 to a concert with a cup of tea in our hand. On television, we can learn many things happening in the world without having to go outside our houses. Television also plays an educational role in our daily life. It provides various educational programs for different viewers.
On the other hand, television can also be harmful. Watching television too much hurts our eyes, influences our sleep and work and cuts down chi ldren’s study time.
