第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
If you do not know what to wear to attend a Chinese celebration, something red is always the right choice on such occasions. The red color is always associated with "happiness and good fortune" . The Chinese people enjoy decorating their houses with something red. The bride wears a traditional Chinese wedding dress in red on her wedding day (though probably influenced by the western customs she would wear white wedding dress at the beginning of the celebration). Unlike the implication of red to anger, danger and the unreasonable outburst of emotions in the West, such as the expressions like: be a red rag to a bull; to see red; to see the red light; to paint the town red; red in tooth and claw etc. the red always carries positive meanings in China.
The next color used to be very special is yellow, which is similar to the color of earth and soil since earth and soil were very important to people. Yellow used to be the fashionable color used by the Emperors in China.
Another favorite color is green, which represents life and energy, while black and white are associated with death. Don't wear a black dress to attend the wedding or a birthday party. Wearing white headdress (头饰) indicates that someone in your home recently dies.
Probably black is also associated with darkness. The Chinese like to refer to things illegally done "black", for example, "black money" and "black market". And "black heart" refers to
someone really bad.
The indirect meanings of colors are obvious in the costumes of traditional Chinese operas. Red indicates loyalty and courage; black represents honesty and fairness; yellow clothing signifies royalty and white to purity.
Don't wear a green hat on any occasion in your daily life. "Wearing a green hat" is a Chinese idiom referring to one's wife has committed adultery. A husband wearing a green hat seems to claim that his wife is an adulteress. Therefore don't make yourself a standing joke.
56. Compared with that in the West, red color in China usually indicates ______ .
A. anger
B. danger
C. justice
D. luck
57. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. White has a positive meaning in Chinese opera.
B. Yellow used to be fashionable among working people.
C. Red was a major color usually used by the Emperor.
D. Green is a color always carrying a negative meaning.
58. People wearing ______ are welcomed in a birthday party.
A. a black suit
B. a white headdress
C. a. red dress
D. a green hat
59. The article is written to tell us mainly about ______ .
A. the different categories of colors
B. the cultural meanings of colors
C. the historical development of colors
D. the history of color concepts

A four-year-old boy has become pen pals with Britain’s Queen Elizabeth. Tom Stancombe started exchanging letters with the queen after he set free a balloon, carrying his name and address, at a school party and it landed in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
The queen spotted the balloon and asked her personal assistant, Angela Kelly, to write a letter on her behalf.
She wrote, “The queen was delighted to find that your balloon had traveled all the way to
the gardens at Windsor Castle.”
Tom, who proudly put the letter on his wall, wrote back to say that his great, great grandfather, the artist Petrus Johannes Arundzen, had been commissioned (正式委托) to copy Dutch masters’ on display at Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.
Angela at once replied that she would contact the Royal Collection to find out what had happened to the art works. She kept her word and two weeks later wrote to Tom to tell him what had happened to the etchings, explaining they now form part of the print collection in the Print Library.
Angela then asked a favor of Tom, writing, “Would you be able to ask your Mummy and Daddy for me if they know anything more about your great, great grandfather. Royal Collection would love to know more about him.”
Along with his parents, Tom wrote back to fill in all the gaps about Petrus Johannes Arundzen.
Although Tom’s parents don’t think there will be any more letters exchanged between the pair, they were touched that she had taken time to contact them.
Tom’s father said, “I don’t expect we’ll get another one, but I think it’s incredible they bothered replying at all.”
64．Windsor Castle is ________.
A. a playing ground.

D．Four-year-old Boy Becomes the Queen’s Pen Pal

Australian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep in order to cut the greenhouse gases they send out, which is thought to be responsible for global warming.
Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence (肠胃气胀) contains no methane (甲烷) and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who produce large quantities of the harmful gas.
While the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a billowing smokestack (烟囱) pushing out carbon dioxide, farm animals’ passing wind contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions (排放物) in some countries.
“Fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in Australia is from enteric methane from cattle and sheep,” said Athol Klieve, a senior research scientist with the Queensland state government.
“And if you look at another country such as New Zeal and, which has got a much higher agricultural base, they’re actually up around 50 percent,” he said.
Researchers say the bacteria also makes the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers.
But it will take researchers at least three years to isolate (分离) the bacteria, before they can even start to develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep.
Another group of scientists, meanwhile, has suggested Australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and just eat more kangaroos. And about 20 percent of health-conscious Australians are believed to eat the national symbol already.
“It’s low in fat, it’s got high protein levels and it’s very clean in the sense that basically it’s the free-range (放养的) animal,” said Peter Ampt of the University of New South Wales’s institute of environmental studies.
68．Scientists intend to put bacteria into cattle and sheep ________.
A. to prevent them from sending out harmful gases
B. to help Australian farmers to earn more money
C. so that they can protect Australian ecosystem
D. so that they can make full use of special bacteria
69．Athol Klieve seems to believe that ________.
A. cattle and sheep produce more carbon dioxide
B. less cattle and sheep are raised in New Zealand
C. farm animals are to blame for greenhouse gases
D. New Zealand has the most animals in the world
70．The main idea of the text is to ________.
A. discuss a better way to protect the earth
B. warn farmers of the danger of animal waste
C. illustrate the possible solutions to pollution
D. present a recent study on global warming
71．The advantages Peter Ampt lists about kangaroos don’t include ________.
A. it is rich in protein
B. is low in fat
C. it is cheaper than beef
D. it is cleaner than sheep

SHANGHAI—The Chinese Shenzhou VII spacecraft lifted off at 9:07 p.m. Thursday, carrying three Chinese astronauts into space on this country's third manned space mission in five years.
The Chinese government has spent billions of dollars in recent years building up a space program, hoping to help China establish a space station by and eventually put a man onto the moon, and the accomplishments would certainly promote the country's international status.
China sent into space three experienced fighter pilots, all of them 42-year-old men. One is expected to walk in space for 30 minutes on Friday or Saturday, according to the state media. The three astronauts are carrying traditional Chinese medicine on board, in case of sickness, and their diet includes pork and beef made in a certain way.
The suit is the most complex, advanced and expensive in the world, a $4.4 million space suit designed and produced in China. The spacecraft was launched by the Long March II-F carrier rocket, which took the spacecraft into a low orbit, about 210 miles above Earth. The mission, which is being reported widely in the Chinese media, is another milestone for a country that got a late start in space exploration but is now actively launching commercial satellites, putting humans in space and even shooting down aging satellites.
" It's a great start, even though it's nowhere near what the Russians and the U.S. have accomplished with space flight," said Roger D. Launius, referring generally to China's space program.
Russia and the United States conducted their first spacewalks in 1965, and in 1969 the United States became the first country to put a person on the moon. But Michael D. Griffin, the administrator of NASA, has repeatedly warned that despite the head start by other nations, the Chinese program is moving swiftly and could overtake American efforts to return to the moon by . Mr. Griffin said, "It was likely that China will be able to put people on the Moon before we
will be able to get back." He added, "I admire what they have done. but I am concerned that it will leave the United States in the wake of China."
The Chinese government also hopes the national space program will aid the nation economically by helping to create technological breakthroughs that may someday be applied to computers or other digital equipment.
72. According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. China sent three skilled astronauts into space who are expected to walk in space.
B. Chinese scientists designed the suits and produced them on their own for astronauts.
C. The accomplishments we reach now are greater than those of the U.S and the Russians.
D. The carrier rocket flew about 210 miles to send the spacecraft into a low orbit.
73. The underlined word “milestone “in Paragraph 4 refers to ______ .
A. a stone that shows the distance in miles
B. a stone that is as long as a mile
C. a length or distance unit in English
D. a historic event in the development
74. The following are the effects of launching Shenzhou VII spacecraft EXCEPT that______ .
A. it shows the world China's highly developed technologies in space
B. it can lay a solid foundation of the further exploration of space
C. it makes a large amount of money from the national space program
D. it may draw the world's attention to China's development in space
75. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 implies that______ .
A. China will be able to put people on the Moon before, American astronauts get back
B. Americans can't sleep well because China has left them behind in space program
C. China's great achievements in national space program will leave Americans behind
D. American astronauts will leave the moon as soon as Chinese people arrive there

Dear Peter,
Sorry I haven’t written to you for a long time. I was lucky to be a volunteer in the Olympic Games. I’ve learned a lot from the volunteer work.
Before the Olympic Games, all of us received special training. Under the guidance of the trainer, we got to know what jobs we could do and what we should pay attention to.
During the Games, some of us stood outside the stadium, guiding the audience to go into the Bird’s Nest with loudspeakers. Some worked at the information center and offered all kinds of help. Others acted as tour guides and took foreigners to some places of interest, such as the Great Wall and the Summer Palace, which helped them to get a better understanding of Chinese culture.
Being a volunteer was a valuable experience for me. Not only did I help others, but also I made many friends. Besides, I felt I could do something for our country.
The Olympic Games will be held in London. Would you like to be a volunteer as well? Please tell me your plan in your next letter.
Best wishes,
Li Hua。
