Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
I remembered little of the journey which started so early in the morning.
I only knew that the day seemed extremely long, and that we appeared to travel over hundreds of miles. Calmed by the sound of the carriage wheels, I fell asleep. But I had not slept long when the carriage stopped, the door was opened, and I saw a servant standing there.
“Is there a little girl called Jane Eyre here？” she asked. I answered “Yes，” and was then lifted out. I could see a house with many windows. There were lights burning in some of them. We went up a wide path, and were admitted at a door. Then the servant led me through a passage into a room where she left me. I stood and warmed my frozen fingers at the fire and looked around. There was no candle, but the light from the fire showed walls, a carpet, curtains and furniture. Then the door opened, and a tall lady entered followed by another who looked younger.“The child is very young to be sent alone，” she said, putting her candle down on the table.
Led by the younger lady, Miss Miller, through passage after passage, we came, at last to a long, wide room filled with many voices. There were many tables, and seated all round on benches were a large number of girls aged from nine to twenty. Seen in the dim (昏暗的) light of the candles, their number appeared above eighty. Each was dressed in a brown old fashioned dress of cheap material. It was their hour of study.
Miss Miller signed to me to sit on a bench near the door, and then walking up to the top of the long room she cried out “Monitors, collect the lesson-books and put them away！”
Four tall girls arose and went round, gathered the books and removed them. Miss Miller again ordered，“Monitors, fetch the supper-trays (托盘)！” Then tall girls went out and returned soon, each carrying a big tray. Food and water were in the middle of each tray. The food was handed round and everyone drank from the same mug. When it came to my turn, I drank too, for I was thirsty, but I did not touch the food. From there I was taken to my hard bed where I thankfully fell asleep immediately.
16．What is the best title for the passage?
A. Jane Eyre's First Day at School
B. Jane Eyre's Long Journey to School
C. Jane Eyre's First Meal at School
D. Jane Eyre's First Impression of the School
答案与解析A主旨大意题。

Jane Eyre经过艰辛的长途旅程，终于来到了学校，随后叙述的是她初到学校的见闻，直到最后很快进入梦乡，由此可知本文叙述的是她在学校第一天的情况。

17．Jane remembered little of the journey partly because ________.
A. she was asleep on the way
B. she traveled over hundreds of miles
C. the day seemed very long
D. she was calmed by the sound of the wheels
答案与解析A细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“I fell asleep”可知她之所以对这次行程知道得很少是因为她在途中睡着了。

18．Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Jane was led to the wide room by the tall lady.
B. Miss Miller helped put the books away.
C. The monitors were tall and strong.
D. There were about 50 girls in the room.
答案与解析C正误判断题。

由第四段以及第五段第一句可知班长们很高，再结合第五段Miss Miller让她们拿大托盘可知她们很强壮，故C项正确。

19．We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. the school accepted both boys and girls
B. the living conditions for students were poor
C. the classroom was also used as a meeting room
D. the students there needed to fetch food themselves
答案与解析B推理判断题。

倒数第三段后半部分中提到烛光微弱，每个学生都穿着用廉价材料做成的衣服，最后一段的后半部分提到每个人都用同一个杯子喝水，由此可推断学生的生活条件很差。

B
Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, genetically modified (GM，转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world, mainly on the basis of their
promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would, is it the best solution?
Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential (潜力) of any crop. In fact, studies show that the most widely grown GM crop, GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report that analysed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.
Something else, however, has been on the rise. While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides (杀虫剂). On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops.“The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true，”said Bill Christison, President of the US National Family Farm Coalition.
At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: T w el v e Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.
As a matter of fact, scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.
20. The author develops the second paragraph mainly ________.
A. by classification
B. by comparison
C. by example
D. by process
答案与解析C写作手法题。

根据第二段中的“For instance”可知，作者第二段的写作是通过举例说明的手法展开论述的。

21. What does the underlined word “boost” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. Control.
B. Evaluate.
C. Obtain.
D. Increase.
答案与解析D猜测词义题。

联系上下文可知，转基因食品的初衷是
提高粮食产量，因为它要解决世界粮食短缺问题，由此可知选D项，increase“增加”。

22. GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from ________.
A. practising “green” farming
B. use of less chemicals
C. fair distribution of their crops
D. using more crops for fuel
答案与解析B细节理解题。

根据第三段第二句中的“... GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides(杀虫剂)．”和该段的画线词所在的句子可知答案为B项。

23. Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?
A. Optimistic.
B. Defensive.
C. Disapproving.
D. Casual.
答案与解析C作者态度题。

通读全文可以看出作者对转基因食品持反对(disapproving)态度。

尤其是作者在论述过程中，多次巧妙地运用了转折意味的词语，例如：but, despite, in fact, however, on the contrary, as a matter of fact。
