第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
For almost two years, Alex Darrow saved the money he earned from his dishwashing job at a pizza place and stored the cash he had received for Christmas and his birthday.
Many 16-year-olds would be saving for a new car, but Darrow was saving to launch a website that aims to raise money for needy children around the world－and create the world’s largest photo mosaic(镶嵌图案)at the same time.
Only after the Placer High School senior laid the foundation for the site, PicturedTheWorld, did he tell his parents.
“I didn’t want to tell my parents if it was going to fail,” said Darrow, who also kept the site a secret from his friends. “They are definitely proud of me.”
The concept is this: A person visits and donates at least $5, then uploads a picture for the mosaic. The income will be contributed to charitable groups such as 88bikes, Doctors Without Borders and UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital.
The goal is to have more than 112,896 photos submitted so that the PictureTheWorld mosaic would become the worl d’s largest, beating the current record holder in Birmingham, England.
So far, Darrow said 35 people have uploaded pictures. If the record is broken, Darrow’s project would raise at least $560,000.
Darrow, who named himself executive director of the site, said he will not take a salary. He said he’s spent $1,400 of his own money on the project.
Josh Wagner said he was struck by the cre ativity of Darrow’s project when the teen first contacted him for help with the website’s finances.
Wagner is executive director and founder of Cultural Media Services, a nonprofit organization that provides help for other organizations seeking tax-exempt status(免税地位).
“I think there is a lot of possibility,” Wagner said. “For someone of Alex’s age to start something so creative, he has great potential and he’s already starting to realize that.”
Darrow can’t explain what fueled his enthusiasm for helping others. He said PictureTheWorld is close to his heart because it can make a difference to needy children.
“Kids don’t deserve to suffer from diseases and illnesses,” Darrow said. “I want to make their lives easier in any way I can. I guess I just wish more people of my age would do this type of thing. ”
56. According to the passage, Darrow ________.
A. has collected $1,400 for poor children
B. donates $5 to www.ptwonline. org each day
C. works part-time at Cultural Media Services
D. created PictureTheWorld by himself
57. What can we learn about the website PictureTheWorld?
A. It was founded by a college student.
B. It raises money for charities.
C. It has collected 112,896 photos.
D. It is based in Birmingham, England.
58. Which of the following can be used to describe Darrow?
A. Humorous.
B. Open-minded.
C. Adventurous.
D. Kind-hearted.
59. The most suitable title for the passage would be “________”.
A. Teen acts to aid needy, one photo at a time
B. 16-year-olds raise money for needy children
C. Teen creates an effective way to raise money
D. PictureTheWorld mosaic: Largest in the world

In face of global warming, much effort has been focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of strategies. But while much of the research and innovation has concentrated on finding less-polluting energy alternatives, it may be decades before clean technologies like wind and solar meet a significant portion of our energy needs.
In the meantime, the amount of CO2 in the air is rapidly approaching the limits proposed b y the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). “As long as we’re consuming
fossil fuels, we’re putting out CO2,”says Klaus Lackner, a geophysicist at Columbia University, “We cannot let the CO2 in the atmosphere rise indefinitely.”
That sense of urgency has increased interest in capturing and storing CO2, which the IPCC says could provide the more than 50% reduction in emissions needed to reduce global warming. “We see the potential for capture and storage to play an integral(基本的) role in reducing emissions,” says Kim Corley, Shell’s senior advisor of CO2 and environmental affairs. That forward thinking strategy is gaining support. The U.S. Department of Energy recently proposed putting $1 billion into a new $2.4 billion coal-burning energy plant. The plant’s carbon-capture technologies would serve as a pilot project for other new coal-burning plants.
But what do you do with the gas once you’ve captured it? One option is to put it to new uses. Dakota Gasification of North Dakota captures CO2 at a plant that converts (转换) coal into synthetic（合成的）natural gas. It then ships the gas 200 miles by pipeline to Canada, where it is pumped underground in oil recovery operations. In the Netherlands, Shell delivers CO2 to farmers who pipe it into their greenhouses, increasing their production of fruits and vegetables.
However, scientists say that the scale of CO2 emissions will require vast amounts of long-term storage. Some propose storing the CO2 in coal mines or liquid storage in the ocean, Shell favors storing CO2 in deep geological structures such as saline (盐的) formations and exhausted oil and gas fields that exist throughout the world.
63. What does the author intend to tell readers?
A. How to find more oil and natural gases.
B. How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
C. How to deal with the greenhouse gas creatively.
D. How to make good use of solar and wind energy.
64. According to the passage, the following statements are true EXCEPT that _______.
A. the idea of capturing and storing CO2 is supported by the American government
B. it is widely accepted that the CO2 captured should be stored in deep geological
structures
C. capturing and storing CO2 is intended to handle the problem with global warming
D. long-term storage of CO2 is no easy job because of the scale of CO2 emissions
65. By using CO2, Dutch farmers have been able to _______.
A. increase their production of fruits and vegetables
B. convert coal into synthetic natural gas
C. pump it underground in oil recovery operations
D. make exhausted oil and gas fields productive
66. How would you understand the underlined part in the third paragraph?
A. It means a project training new pilots who will serve the new strategy.
B. It refers to the coal-burning energy plant that U.S government sponsors.
C. It implies the carbon-capture technologies will be popular once successful.
D. It shows the new idea of reduction of CO2 emissions needs a large sum of investment.
D
New York City Council passed the ban on smoking in its parks and on its beaches on the principle that a nonsmoker shouldn’t have to breathe in even a tiny amount of secondhand smoke, whether in a bar or a Central Park meadow. But while there is a strong public-health case for banning smoking indoors, the case for banning it outdoors is much weaker—particularly when it runs the risk of a strong negative reaction that could weaken the basic goals of the antismoking movement.
True, there is evidence that being near someone smoking, even outdoors, can result in significant secondhand smoke exposure. Researchers at Stanford found that levels of tobacco smoke within three feet of a smoker outside are comparable to inside levels. But no evidence indicates that the duration(持续时间) of outdoor exposure—in places where people can move freely about—is long enough to cause great health damage.
But that hasn’t stopped many opponents(反对者) of smoking. Mentioning new research, they have argued that even brief exposure to tobacco smoke can cause severe health effects like heart disease and lung cancer. For example, last year the surgeon general’s office claimed that “even brief exposure to secondhand smoke can cause heart disease,”and that “breathing in even the smallest amount of tobacco smoke can also damage your DNA, which can lead to cancer.”
However, the surgeon general’s statement confuses the temporary negative effects of secondhand smoke on the circulatory(循环的) system, which have been shown to occur with short-term exposure, with heart disease, a process that requires repeated exposure and continual damage . It also confuses one-time DNA damage, which occurs with any carcinogenic(致癌的) exposure, with cancer risk, which likewise generally requires repeated exposure.
Moreover, bans like New York’s may actually increase exposure by creating smoke-filled areas near park entrances that cannot be avoided.
To make matters worse, in trying to convince people that even brief exposure to secondhand smoke is a potentially deadly danger, smoking opponents risk losing scientific basis. The antismoking movement has always fought with science on its side, but New York’s ban on outdoor smoking seems to fulfill (满足) its opponents’charge that the movement is being driven instead by an unthinking hatred of tobacco smoke. That, in turn, could have a bad influence on the 21 states that still allow smoking in bars and restaurants.
From a public health perspective, a ban on outdoor smoking is pointless. Instead, antismoking organizations should focus on extending workplace protections, already enjoyed by millions of New Yorkers, to the 100 million Americans still denied the right to work without having to breathe in secondhand smoke.
67. By mentioning the surgeon general’s statement, the author intends to explain .
A. why smoking outdoors should be banned
B. that the argument of outdoor-smoking-ban supporters is solid.
C. that outdoor exposure causes great health damage
D. how the outdoor smoking ban in fact increases smoking exposure
68. New York’s ban might cause more people to .
A. be convinced of the dangers of smoking
B. realize the nature of the antismoking movement
C. regard antismoking activities as driven by prejudice
D. feel hatred toward tobacco smokers
69. It is suggested that the efforts of antismoking organizations should be directed to .
A. ensuring most Americans work in smoke-free environment
B. further expanding the coverage of outdoor smoking ban
C. achieving great victory against outdoor smoking
D. guiding the public to realize the dangers of secondhand smoke
70. The author’s attitude toward the New York’s ban on smoking outdoors can be best
described as .
A. enthusiastic
B. objective
C. critical
D. puzzled

A glacial lake in the Andes has disappeared mysteriously, prompting local geologists to head to Bernardo O’Higgins National Park in Patagonia, Chile, to find out what happened.
The lake, some 20,000 square metres in area, was last seen in March. By May, all that was left was a 30-metre-deep crater (凹地). A river running from it had reduced to a trickle (细流)，according to the park workers who first noticed the lake was missing.
It’s not the first time that a lake has disappeared, although it is quite rare for bodies of water to disappear so quickly. In central Russia in May 2005, Lake Beloye disappeared “ overnight ” according to local reports. People assumed that the water had been sucked into an underground cave or river. Scott Lake, in Florida, disappeared into a sinkhole over the course of a week in June 2006.
One explanation for the disappeared Chilean lake is an earthquake that happened in the neighbouring Aysen region in April, which measured 6.2 on the Richter scale. Such an earthquake might open up a break in the earth, allowing the water to flow away .
But Stephan Harrison, an expert on Patagonian glaciers at Exeter University, Penryn, Cornwall, suspects that melting ice is to blame. “ This is probably just a natural process,” he says.
Harrison points out that many glacial lakes are dammed by blocks of ice. “ The ice will eventually melt,” says Harrison--- and that can release a flood of water called a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF). Such events are becoming more common, he says, as climate change causes more melting. But the speed at which this Chilean lake disappeared is unusual, he adds.
Scientists are now rushing to the site to find out what happened. It is winter in Patagonia, and the site is very remote, so the trip could take up to two weeks. But once there the clues should be easy to spot. If the cause is an earthquake, they will find evidence of it pretty quickly, says John Chilton, a scientist at the British Geological Survey, Wallingford. Seismic record, along with evidence of rock-fall, could shore up this theory.
Equally, if a GLOF is to blame, there will be signs of an ice dam being broken, says Harrison.
The water probably either flew away through the now-empty river, and into the sea, or it could have found its way into another water system nearby, perhaps underground.

书面表达：
According to a recent survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication, only 1.3 percent of people say they read a lot, and more than 50 percent admit that they read very little. As to the annual amount of reading, civil servants read 16.88 books on average, while students read only 9.40 books, just above those unemployed, who read an average of
7.61.
I think two reasons account for students’ insufficient amount of reading. The primary reason is that students are burdened with much study pressure. Little time can they spare to read. Secondly, many students haven’t formed the habit of reading. They would rather spe nd their spare time on TV or on the Internet.
How should we encourage students to read more? In my opinion, schools are supposed to organize more activities to promote reading, and teachers should limit the amount of homework so as to allow students more time to read. Meanwhile, students themselves should develop their healthy reading habits. （150 words）
