二、新的题型
18. 阅读表达（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

When young people in the United States gather for fun, there is a good chance that they will soon be dancing. If there are no musicians, they will play records. If there are no records, someone is certain to have a radio. One way or another there will be dancing.
The ways that boys and girls dance will often change every year or two. You may hear them say that the very latest steps are “in”, while last year’s steps __________. Each boy and girl takes pride in learning newest things. They feel that this is important to remain popular with their friends.
Years ago the dances of young people were not very different from those of their parents, but high school and college students of today have created their own music and have invented their own dances, thanks to people like Chubby Checker, the Beatles, and Elvis Presley. These musicians helped to make popular an exciting new kind of music
that people began to dance to in a different way.
In the late 1950s Chubby Checker started a dance that he called the “twist.” The twist, like so many new dances, was lively, and people who performed it used a lot of energy. The word chubby means “a little bit fat,” which is why this singer and dancer called himself Chubby.
After performing his new dance hundreds of times, however, Chubby was no longer chubby. This is one of the advantages. Even if older people do not like the new dances, they must agree that people get much more exercise from modern dances than they ever got from a waltz(华尔兹舞).
81. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words. (no more than 4 words)
____________________________________________________________________ 82. For what purpose do young people learn the newest dance? (no more than 6 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 83. Why did Chubby Checker become famous? (no more than 6 words)
____________________________________________________________________ 84. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably mean? (no more than 5
words)
_____________________________________________________________________ 85. What is an advantage of modern dancing? (no more than 8 words)
____________________________________________________________________
参考答案：
81.are “out”/are not “in”/are out of fashion(date)
82.To remain popular with their friends
83.Because he invented a new dance./Because he started the “twist” dance.
84.Chubby was no longer fat. /Chubby lost weight./ Chubby became thinner(slimmer).
85.Dancers can get much more exercise. /Dancers can use a lot of energy. /Dancers can burn off fat.
三、阅读理解
19. 阅读下列短文，从每题短文所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

They once seemed more at home on the busy streets of Asia like Delhi, Calcutta and Bangkok but cycle powered rickshaws (人力车) can now be seen taking people across town in many European cities. Many people
believe that rickshaws are a good way of experiencing a city close-up, while also cutting down on traffic jams and pollution. In Berlin, one of the first cities to introduce this new model of transport, more than 200 bike-taxis go along at 15km per hour, past many tourist attractions and city parks.
“It is completely environmentally friendly; we have new models with an engine to help the driver up the hills but they use renewable energy.” said a spokesman for VELOTAXI, the leading rickshaw compan y which has carried a quarter of a million people this year.
While the city still has 7,000 motor-taxis, rickshaw company officials say their taxis’ green ideas, speed and safety make them more than just a tourist attraction. While now increasingly out of fashion in Delhi, Berlin people have eagerly accepted the new fleet since their launch in 1997.
“It’s better than a taxi, better than a bus, better than the train,” said ULF Lehman, 36, as he leapt out of a rickshaw near the world famous Brandenburg g ate. “ It feels so free.”
“ This is something out of the ordinary, you feel you are on holiday in Bangkok instead of Berlin,” said another traveler.
In Amsterdam, driver Peter Jancso said people like to be driven around in his bright yellow rickshaw and pretend to be a queen in a golden carriage. "I like my passengers to feel important," he said as he dropped off another passenger. Another visitor noted how cheap it was compared with a normal taxi.
Although increasingly popular in Europe, it is the opposite in India, where hand-pulled rickshaws are considered inhuman and a symbol of India's backward past.
Nearly 500 bike-rickshaws are running in London and are not required to pay the city's road tax but things may change as other taxi drivers complain of unfair treatment.
63. Where are rickshaws becoming more popular?
A. Delhi, Berlin,
Paris. B. Amsterdam, Bangkok, Delhi.
C. Athens, London,
Berlin. D. Berlin, Amsterdam, London.
64. Why are rickshaws no longer as widely used in India as in the past?
A. They are a reminder of a bad period in India's history.
B. They have been banned because they are inefficient.
C. The streets of India are too crowded for them to move through easily.
D. Indians now prefer to travel by car because they are richer.
65. What does the underlined sentence "This is something out of the ordinary, you feel you are on holiday in
Bangkok instead of Berlin" suggest?
A. The passenger didn't like taking a rickshaw as it reminded him of Bangkok.
B. The passenger enjoyed being on holiday in Berlin more than in Bangkok.
C. The passenger was impressed when taking a rickshaw and considered it unusual.
D. The passenger disapproved of rickshaws because they were not original to Berlin.
66. What is the author's attitude towards rickshaws?
A. He gives no personal opinion.
B. He believes they will be of no use.
C. He thinks they will reduce pollution.
D. He thinks they are old-fashioned.
