第三部分：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中选出最佳答案。

A
Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: it seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.
Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned over and then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke form the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practiced sewing machine.
Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.
Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.
To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious, but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.
71. According to the passage, Elias Howe was ______.
A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleep
B. much more hard-working than other inventors
C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really worked
D. the only person at the time who know the value of dreams
72. The problem Howe was trying to solve was ______.
A. what kind of thread to use
B. how to design a needle which would not break
C. where to put the needle
D. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle
73. Thomas Edison is spoken of because ______.
A. he also tried to invent a sewing machine
B. he got some of his ideas from dreams
C. he was one of Howe’s best friends
D. he made a lot of great inventions
74. Dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves” because ______.
A. strange images are used to communicate ideas
B. images which have no meaning are used
C. we can never understand the real meaning
D. only specially trained people can understand them
B
Eye injuries from paintball games have increased among children, even as the protective equipment for the sport has improved, according to a study in the magazine Pediatrics published yesterday.
The federal Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated the number of emergency room visits for eye injuries caused by paintballs at 545 in 2001 and more than 1,200 in 2003. More than 40 percent of those injuries were believed to involve children, the study said.
Paintballs are marble-sized capsules filled with water-soluble paint. They are fired at a speed of up to 300 feet a second, the study said. Being so small, they can fit inside the bones meant to protect the eye.
The study”s author, Dr. David A. Listman of St. Barnabes Hospital in the Bronx, said paintball shopping centers had generally begun to sell full face masks, which have become more effective at protecting the eyes than earlier gear. But most injuries now occur in backyard play, which is more likely to involve teenagers or children. “The injuries being seen are mostly in people who did not wear the proper, or for that matter, any safety equipment,” Dr. Listman said.
Those injuries can involve permanent damage to sight, he said.
Dr. Listman said he believed that paintball guns should be limited to certain places. In the absence of such action, parents should limit children’s access to the guns and insist on proper protection. Paintball guns “should be treated with the same respect as any other firearm,” he said. “These are the only guns that are made to shoot at your friends.”
--From New York Times (February 6, 2004)
75. Paintballs may cause injuries mainly because of ______.
A. their content and size
B. their speed and size
C. their shape and speed
D. their content and shape
76. The underlined word “gear” means ______.
A. medicine
B. material
C. technique
D. equipment
77. What do you learn from Dr. Listman?
A. Children should not play paintball guns everywhere.
B. Paintball guns are less dangerous than any other firearm.
C. The improved equipment is still ineffective for children.
D. Eye injures from paintballs will finally lead to blindness.
78. Which of the following might be the proper title for the passage?
A. Children: How You Should Play Properly
B. Parents: Keep Children off Paintballs
C. C. Safety: When Paintball Meets Eyeball
D. Guns: Only Made to Shoot at Your Friends

British potato farmers were taking to the streets to call for the expression “couch potato” to be struck from the dictionary on the grounds that it harms the vegetable’s image.
The British Potato Council wants the Oxford English Dictionary to replace the expression with the term “couch slouch”, with protests planned outside parliament in London and the offices of Oxford University Press.
Kathryn Race, head of marketing at the Council, which represents some 4000 growers and processors, said the group had complained in writing to the OED but had yet to receive a response.
“We are trying to get rid of the image that potatoes are bad for you,” she said on Monday.
“The potato has had its knocks in the past. Of course it is not the Oxford English Dictionary’s fault but we want to use another term than ‘couch potato’, because potatoes are naturally healthy.”
The OED says “couch potato”originated as American slang, meaning “a person who spends leisure time passively or idly sitting around, especially watching television or video tapes.”
The Potato Council says its campaign has the backing of dieticians who say the vegetable is low in fat and high in vitamin C.
Supporting the campaign, celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson said the vegetable was one of Britain’s favorite foods.
“Not only are they healthy, they are versatile, convenient and taste great, too. Life without potato is like a sandwich without a filling,” he said.
John Simpson, chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, said the dictionary first included the term “couch potato” in 1993 and said “ dictionaries just reflect the words that society uses.”
Simpson said words were never taken out of the fulllength dictionary, which includes some 650 000 words contained in 20 volumes.
But little-used words can be removed from the smaller dictionaries to make way for newer ones.
“If society stops using words, then they are taken out of the smaller dictionaries,” he added.
“The first known recorded use of the expression ‘couch potato’ was in a 1979 Los Angeles Times article,” Simpson said.
Nigel Evans, a member of parliament for the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, has made a motion in support of the campaign, highlighting the nutritional value of the British potato.
83. British potato farmers were taking to the streets .
A. to advertise their produces
B. to call for a higher price for their potatoes
C. to remove the expression “couch potato” from the dictionary
D. to let people know how important the potato is in people’s lives
84. The farmers think that .
A. potatoes have had a bad image
B. potatoes are good for people by nature
C. potatoes sometimes do harm to people
D. it’s the dictionary’s fault to use the expression “couch potato”
85. John Simpson thinks that .
A. the expression can be taken out of every kind of dictionary
B. dictionaries do not necessarily reflect the words the society uses
C. little used words can remain in the smaller dictionaries
D. it is impossible to take the expression out of the dictionary
86. What is wrong with the expression “couch potato”?
A. It is connected with unfavorable meaning.
B. Potato should be used in the expression
C. It is borrowed from America English.
D. It refers to a kind of person.
E
Ecotourism
The latest buzzword in the tourism industry is “ecotourism”—responsible, environmentally sound vacationing. Ecotourism, or “green tourism,”means taking care of natural resources, protecting endangered species, and preserving and contributing to local communities.
Armed with this “checklist”, I booked a vacation in an “ecoresort”(resort:a place for vacation). The brochure looked appealing---a hotel right on the beach, with a large swimming pool and golf course, in acres of unspoiled rain forest.
Unfortunately, the only way to get to this resort was a 12-hour flight followed by a long taxi ride. I was relieved to see the hotel at the end of the road. It was a low-rise building, made out of local stone. But as I later found out, in order to build the resort, the wealthy owner had bought up 30,000 square kilometers of unspoiled rain-forest.
Sunbathing by the glorious swimming pool, enjoying the sound of sprinklers on the golf course, I suddenly realized that this was an area where water is scarce.
So far, not so eco-friendly. I decided to try some of the trips to nearby conservation projects, to give the resort another chance to convince me.
Although it was the breeding season for turtles, we didn’t see any. Apparently the large groups of tourists who arrive at the beach to see the turtles laying their eggs have driven the turtles away. A boat ride to a marine park was also disappointing. The noise of the boats means that the alligators (短吻鳄) are afraid to lie in the sun. The tourists, expecting to see some action, throw stones at the alligators in the water, in the hope of getting them to move.
The trip to the “authentic”local village was pleasant. The resort has turned the local homes into picturesque cottages. However, they are so charming that tourists are buying them, and the locals now live in small towns of badly built houses in the poorest areas of town.
All in all, my vacation didn’t meet any of the standards for ecotourism. But there are many projects around the world where you can have a genuinely “green ” experience. My next trip is to a mountain village, as a paying guest in a local family’s home.
I will miss the swimming pool and the golf, though.
87. What does the word brochure in the second paragraph mean?
A. an interesting film
B. a travel agent
C. an advertisement
D. a mountain
88. Why were there no turtles on the beach?
A. Because tourists have caused the turtles to stay away.
B. Because tourists throw stones at them.
C. Because the noise of the boats has made them afraid.
D. Because the tourists take away their eggs
89. According to your understanding, what will the writer think about “ecotourism” after this trip?
A. He thinks it as a brilliant idea.
B. He likes the swimming pool and the golf course.
C. He is disappointed and will have some doubts about it.
D. He will still strongly support “ecotourism”.
90.The word “buzzword” (Paragraph1) means all of the following EXCEPT_________.
A. a word that cause a lot of trouble
B. a word well-known
C. a word often used
D. a word people think very important
