三、阅读理解 (共3题；共28分)
32. （10分）阅读理解
We use the Internet for many things: business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people, finding information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There's no real word for it yet, so we'll call it e-talk.
People don't like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters (called acronyms). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms(聊天室). Some of them are:
BTW (by the way) BRB (be right back)
LOL (laughing out loud) IMO (in my opinion)
People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations are:
info (information) puter (computer)
pic (picture) sec (second)
We usually don't see people when we communicate(交流) on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw "feelings", such as:
:-) (happy) ;-) (joking) :-( (sad) :-O (surprised)
These days, many forums (论坛) have picture feelings. For example:
There are even whole new words, like "newbies"(someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it's called "flaming" the person.
It takes time for people to get used to(适应) e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
Choose the best answer:
（1）Why do people type acronyms?
A . To show their feelings.
B . To make jokes.
C . Because people can type them quickly.
D . In this way newbies won't understand them.
（2）What does "BTW, my putter is not working well." mean?
A . The person is happy about getting a new computer.
B . The person has to go away from their computer.
C . The person is angry at somebody.
D . The person is sad that his computer is having problems.
（3）If someone is angry, what may he type?
A .
B .
C . LOL
D . BRB.
（4）E-talk will probably____________.
A . keep changing
B . stay the same
C . be used by people on the telephone
D . be easy for newbies to understand
（5）The best title for this passage is________.
A . E-talk
B . Picture Feelings
C . How to Use Abbreviations
D . The Changing Internet
33. （8分）阅读理解
Taking away a city's rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.
In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump(垃圾堆).Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage (排污) system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets(厕
所), bathtubs and other places.
To keep mice(老鼠) and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you'd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.
In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal(金属). The mental can be reused and recycled. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles(堆) where they slowly change into something called humans, which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow.
（1）You can mostly probably read the passage in _____________.
A . a science book
B . a TV guide
C . a history book
D . a telephone book
（2）According to the passage, the right order is _____________.
① A house or a school may be built there.
② The rubbish is collected and taken to a dump.
③ Grass is planted on the rubbished-filled earth.
④ The rubbish dump is covered with some earth.
A . ②④①③
B . ③①④②
C . ①④③②
D . ②④③①
（3）How should we take care of a used metal box according to the passage?
A . By burning it off.
B . By putting it in water.
C . By throwing it away.
D . By reusing and recycling it.
（4）The main idea of the passage is __________.
A . to let us know taking away rubbish is a big job
B . to explain the need or rubbish collection
C . to introduce different ways to treat rubbish
D . to tell people to take useful things out of rubbish
34. （10分）What is your favorite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观者), a leader or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined(有决心的). You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists(心理学家)tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference (爱好), and the effect that colours have on human beings(人类).They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite colour as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(压抑的). Light and bright colours make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey .
Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colourful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colours they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a lampshade(灯罩).
（1）According to this passage, ________.
A . one can choose his colour preference
B . one is born with his colour preference
C . one’s colour preference is changeable
D . one has to choose his favourite colour as he can see clearly
（2）If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer________.
A . red to yellow
B . blue to orange
C . red to grey
D . blue to yellow
（3）The main idea of this passage is ________.
A . one’s color preference show one’s cha racter
B . you can brighten your life with wonderful colours
C . psychologists have been studying the meaning of colour preference
D . one’s color preference has something to do with his character and colours have effects on human beings
（4）The writer believes that in realizing the four modernizations(四个现代化) of our country, we need more people who love ________.

B . red
C . green
