第三部分【2012届·云南省昆明一中高三第三次月考】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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
The practice of swapping fashions（交换时尚）in Japan has recently been attracting worldwide attention．The activity is aimed at making more effective use of resources by providing a forum for people to exchange free of charge those fashion items．Everyone has something such as clothes, shoes, bags, accessories（首饰）, etc．that they don't use anymore and that sit in their closets because, say, they no longer fit．
Japan's first major fashion swap event, “xChange,” was held in September 2007 in Tokyo．Junko Niwa, a pioneer of this activity in Japan, explains the meaning of the name: “ ‘X’ means ‘anything’．I hope that xChange will be a venue for exchanging anything, including ideas, knowledge, and beliefs, in addition to clothes．”
Participants put tags（标签）on each of the items they bring and write their names and brief introductions concerning the tagged items．For example, on the tag of a white jacket the former owner wrote, “This is a gift from a friend, but it's just not my style．” The tags make people imagine who used to wear the item and thus make people aware of the human connection．When asked for feedback（反馈）, participants say things like, “I'm very lucky to get such lovely clothes for free,” and “I am happy to see someone try on and choose what I brought he re．” Unwanted clothes for one person can be new and exciting for someone else．Plus, xChange achieves close to a 100-percent reuse rate by donating leftover clothes to companies that reuse or recycle secondhand clothing．Anything they cannot use, they then donate to developing countries or reuse them as rags．
Since 2007, the xCt1ange event has been held every two or three months in a different region of Japan, always attracting many participants．This success is probably because anyone can easily participate, and also because it is an active event that gives participants opportunities to enjoy fashion without increasing the impact（影响）on the environment - or their pocketbooks．56．The purpose of fashion swap events is to _____．
A．help the Poor B．exchange ideas
C．help people form good habits D．increase the usefulness of some items 57．Japan's first major fashion swap event was named “xChange” probably because ___．
A．“x” means something for free B．“x” means a venue
C．“x” can stand for anything D．“x” can stand for clothes of different styles
58．Which of the following is NOT true about the fashion swap event according to the passage?
A．It saves people some money．
B．The participants can take items of any value for free．
C．The items no one wants go back to where they came from．
D．Seeing the items chosen by others pleases their former owners．
59．Which of the following words can best describe the xChange event?
A．Disappointing．B．Impractical．
C．Strange．D．Environment-friendly．
B
A new law is leading to debate in Wisconsin．The state recently lowered its minimum（最小的）hunting age．Under the new plan, children as young as 10 may hunt with an adult．Each pair can have only one gun or bow, and the adult and child must stay within arm's reach of each other at all times．
Some say the new plan is on target．They believe that teaching more kids how to hunt will protect Wisconsin's traditions．Hunting is a way of life for many residents in the state．However, other people say giving kids control of weapons is asking for trouble．They worry that someone will get hurt．
Should kids be allowed to hunt? Student reporters Michael Tobin and Emily Jue express their opinions about the issue．
Yes．Hunting is a valuable skill for kids to learn．
I think children under the age of l2 should be able to hunt because hunting can be a very useful skill．If you were stranded（陷于困境的）in the wild with nothing but a gun, you would have a better chance of survival if you knew how to use it．
The law makes sure that kids learn with an adult present．Having an experienced hunter that you know teaching you is extremely valuable．Paul Huchette, a retired businessperson from Latrobe, Pa．, agrees．“Kids under the age of l2 should be able to hunt under the supervision（监管）of a parent,” Huchet te says．
Michacl Tobin, Oregon
No．Hunting is dangerous for young children．
I believe that children should not be allowed to hunt．Placing a gun in a child's hand isn't safe and could result in unthinkable consequences．You are teaching young children to get joy through killing and by watching animals suffer．They can also use their guns at the wrong time for the wrong reasons．
Also, children aren't physically mature enough．They can easily miss their targets and hurt themselves or others．How would you feel if a bullet came whizzing（飞驰而过）by your house?
“Teaching young children a sport that involves killing an animal isn't very wise,” says Lily Cao, a fifth grader from Houston, Texas．
Emily Jue, Texas
60．We can learn from Para．2 that by lowering its hunting age, Wisconsin is likely to ____．A．protect the state's hunting traditions
B．stop l0-year-olds from hunting
C．put more animals in danger
D．take stricter control of weapons
61．How does Michael Tobin feel about the state's new law?
A．Inspired．B．Embarrassed．C．Upset．D．Doubtful．62．Which of the following statements agrees with Emily Jue's view?
A．Children should be allowed to hunt together with parents．
B．Many young children are not aware how to use guns properly．
C．Parents should be patient while teaching children to hunt．
D．Children are usually confused about what animals should be protected．
63．The author writes this passage to ______．
A．introduce Wisconsin's new law
B．tell how to teach kids hunting
C．discuss the consequences of using a gun
D．argue whether kids should be allowed to hunt
C

●Thursday - Saturday: 10 a．m．- 6 p．m．
●Sunday: noon - 5 p．m．

Brief Introduction
The Sterling Room for Writers was founded through the generosity of Donald Sterling, Jr．and Sis Hayes in honor of their parents Donald and Adelaide Sterling．Donald Sterling was a newspaperman in Portland for 42 years, and managing editor at the Oregon Journal from 1919-1952．Adelaide Sterling, a writer herself, was active in many charitable organizations．The family's goal is to provide writers with space for convenient access to the resources of Central Library．
The room's separation from the busy public areas of Central Library creates a relatively quiet place for writing and research．Four large tables provide enough workspace, and connections for laptop computers are available．
Application and Admission
You may complete an online application form for admission to the Sterling Room for Writers, which is highly recommended for speed and convenience．Printed application forms are also available．Pick one up at Central Library or request one by calling the Central Library director's office at 503．988．5231．You may also mail your request for a printed application form to the Central Library, Central Director's Office, 801 S．W．l0th Ave．, Portland, OR, 97205．The selection of writers for admission to the Sterling Room for Writers is the responsibility of
employees of Central Library．Individual applications are reviewed by a panel（专门小组）of library staff members．
Once a writer's application is reviewed and accepted, a library representative will contact the writer．Accepted writers must visit the Information Desk on the second floor to receive a room key, which they must return when they leave．
64．The Sterling Room for Writers is open to _____．
A．students B．office workers

“LORENA! LET'S GO, LORENA!” says a banner （横幅）waved by smiling girls wearing sunglasses．Their favorite golfer has just taken the lead．With one big push, the fans are on the green, throwing Lorena Ochoa into the air．It's just like a soccer match in Mexico City; only this is a golf tournament in Arizona．
“It's fun to share the excitement with my country,” says Guadalajara native Lorena Ochoa, the first-ever Mexican golfer to be ranked number one in the world．She has single-handedly created golf fever in Mexico．She's a national hero．Although many Mexicans have never played golf, that doesn't stop them from cheering for Lorena．Taxi drivers talk about how great Lorena is for Mexico．Mexican girls want to learn how to play golf．
It wasn't like that when Lorena was little．Golf courses were still private in Mexico, and few girls played golf when Lorena was a kid．She golfed with her older brothers at a members-only club in Guadalajara．Today, things are changing, thanks to Lorena．The 27-year-old has opened a string of golf academies where anyone can learn the game．
Playing with her brothers may have helped Lorena's own game．They taught her how to golf when she was just five years old．Lorena excelled（突出）at the sport quickly．Soon it was hard to get Lorena off the golf course, she'd practice until darkness made it impossible to continue．She won Mexico's national junior title when she was eight, qualifying for the World Junior Championships in San Diego．Since she had never played outside her country before, Lorena's father worried it might be a wasted trip, but she ended up winning．Lorena also won the tournament the following year, and every year after until she turned l2．That year, she won the title playing with borrowed clubs, since hers got lost at the airport!
Lorena was talented in so many other sports, including tennis and basketball, that she surely would have been a standout in any of them．But she picked golf．
“I like that．Golf is an individual sport．It's complete in every way ．．．mentally and physically．”
67．The underlined part in Para．1 implies that _____．
A．a great many people are fond of golf nowadays
B．few people in Arizona like watching golf tournaments
C．soccer matches are not so popular as golf tournaments in Mexico city
D．soccer matches have many things in common with golf tournaments
68．What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．Lorena is proud of her achievement in golf．
B．Lorena is under high pressure as a national hero．
C．Lorena is sad that many Mexicans have never played golf．
D．Lorena is successfully motivating many Mexicans to be interested in golf．69．Which of the following is TRUE about Lorena?
A．She played golf with many other girls when she was a kid．
B．She played golf so well that she taught her brothers to golf．
C．She is trying to introduce golf to more and more people．
D．She had never played outside her country before l2．
70．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．Lorena led a hard life as a kid
B．Lorena is good at various sports
C．Lorena has energized the world of golf
D．Lorena won a golf tournament in Arizona

For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans．71 Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today．Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world．Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829．72 He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847．Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business．This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention．After the gold rush of 1949, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes．Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals．Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners．At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth．73 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners．These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more．In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets（铆钉）．This made the pants last a long time．Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent．74 ．
The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world．
By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion．75 A．As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States．

D．However, he did not get much business for those products．
E．He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry．
F．Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American
consumer culture．
G．As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it．

Mark Twain liked to play jokes in his friends．One day one of his friends lost his wallet and asked Mark pay the train fare for him．"But I haven't got enough money to pay both your fare or mine," Mark said．Then he adds, "We can get on the train first and when the conductor comes to check ticket, you hide under my seat．" Late, however, when the conductor came to check tickets, Mark gave him two more tickets．Then he said in the loud voice, "My friend is a strange man．When he travels on a train, he prefers to lying on the floor under the seat．" Of course many passengers laughed at his poorly friend．

One possible version:
Peter,
I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese
well．
Here are a few suggestions．First, it is important to take a Chinese course, as you’ll be able to learn from the teacher and practice with your fellow students．Then, it also helps to watch TV and read books, newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possible．
Besides, it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese words more easily．You can also make more Chinese friends．They will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese．
Try and write me in Chinese next time．
Best wishes
Li Hua。
