第三：阅读理解（20小题每小题1.5分，满分30分）
A The Man of Many Secrets — Harry Houdini — was one of the greatest American entertainers in the theater. He was a man famous for his escapes — from prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks.
Of course, his secret was not magic, or supernatural powers. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.
Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17, in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in club in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison escape in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.
It was the publicity(宣传) that came from this that started Harry Houdini’s success. Harry had fingers trained to esca pe from handcuffs(手铐) and toes trained to escape ankle chains. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck — and a small skeleton
key, which is a key that fits many locks, pass quickly from her mouth to his.
Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full. What was the result? Worldwide fame, and a name remembered today.
56. According to the passage, Houdini’s success in prison escapes depends on ________.
A. his special tricks and supernatural powers
B. his unusual ability and a skeleton key
C. his magic tricks and inhuman powers
D. his wisdom and magic tricks
57. In the fourth paragraph, the underlined word “this” refers to ________.
A. his first prison escape
B. the year 1898
C. the publicity
D. Harry Houdini’s success
58. It can be inferred from the passage that Houdini became famous
________.
A. in 1894
B. before he married
C. at the age of 17
D. when he was about 2459. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A Skeleton Key
B. Many Secrets
C. World-wide Fame
D. Great Escapes
B
Michael stays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal computer terminal in order to connect with the office. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesn't talk to any other human beings, and he doesn't see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.
The world of business is one area in which technology is separating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants（会计）could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they're dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers' salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will
change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts.
Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living looms.
60. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Clerks will be able to work at home.
B. One can play baseball on the computer.
C. One can listen to music without disturbing others.
D. One can borrow books from libraries at home.
61. The sentence "Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible" means _______.
A. Michael is person full of imagination and he can make his dreams come true
B. Michael is not a real person but the lifestyle does exist
C. Michael has ambitions（雄心）but he can't make his dreams come true
D. Michael is a person full of imagination and his lifestyle is common nowadays
62. What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph?
A. Games and sports.
B. Personal banking.
C. Music and films.
D. International business.
63. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. We may no longer need to communicate with other human beings.
B. Modern technology seems to be separating human beings.
C. We may no longer need to work in the office.
D. Modern technology makes it possible for us to work and entertain ourselves at home.

Alzheimer's disease is a major national health problem. Nearly 2 million Americans over the age of 65 have Alzheimer's disease. It is a leading cause of death among the elderly. But Alzheimer's disease is not confined (限于) to the aged. There may be a million or more people under the age of 65 suffering from the disease.
At one time, people suffering from the disease were said to be "getting old". The disease was thought to be a natural part of growing old, but
it is now known that Alzheimer's disease strikes young and old alike. It is an organic(器官的) disease that destroys brain cells.
Alzheimer's disease affects the patient's memory, speech, and movement. In the beginning stages of the disease, the patient may seem slightly confused. He may have trouble speaking. Then the patient's memory begins to fail. He may forget dates, telephone numbers, names and plans.
As the disease progresses, the patient may not recognize family and friends. These symptoms(症状) often cause terrible anxiety in the patient. He may feel lost and frightened. Sometimes the patient reacts with wild and bad behavior.
In the last stages of the disease, the patient may not be able to take care of himself. He may have lost the ability to speak and walk. Some of the scientists think a virus causes Alzheimer's disease. At present, there is no cure for the disease. But there are ways to slow its progress. Exercise and physical treatment can help the patients of this disease.
64. Alzheimer's disease ________.
A. a terrible part of the aging process

When you are in another country, it is important to know the language, but it is equally important to know how to communicate nonverbally(非语言地) by making gestures. According to a pioneer in nonverbal communication, only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people don't know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.
In the United States, for example, nodding your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, howev er, this motion can mean “no”. In Southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of
saying “I've heard you”.
In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someone's life, he would put his thumb up. Today in the United States, people often put their thumbs up, which means everything is all right. However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting and should not be used there.
In the United States, holding your hand up with the thumb and index finger in a circle and the other three fingers sprea d out means “Everything is O.K.” and is frequently used by astronauts and politicians. In France and Belgium, it can mean “You’re worth nothing.”
There are other nonverbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans usually feel good when speaking with someone if the distance between them is about eighteen inches to arm’s length. Anything closer makes them feel uncomfortable.
When talking to Americans, it is also important to make eye contact. If you look down when talking to an American, he / she may feel that you are embarrassed, afraid, or trying to hide something.
These few examples show that your actions can speak louder than your words. In a particular cultural co ntest, what you say and what you don’t say are equally important.
68. Which of the following is true? A. People all over the world only communicate verbally.
B. Most of our gestures have no meaning at all.
C. People often communicate through gestures
D. Gestures are a unique way to communicate.
69. When someone puts his / her thumb up in ______, it means everything is all right.
A. ancient Rome
B. the United States
C. France
D. Belgium
70. What is the meaning of “your actions can speak louder than your words” in the passage means ___.
A. your deeds are better than your words
B. what you do is better than what you say
C. you try to show your best manners
D. you are better understood by your gestures than through your words
71. When you are in another country, ________.
A. it is unimportant to know the language
B. it is important to know a foreigner can certainly understand your gestures
C. to know how to communicate nonverbally is as important as to know the language
D. to communicate through gestures is more important than to know the language

Iceland has energy to spare, and the small country has found a cutting-edge(尖端的) way to reduce its oil dependency. Volcanoes formed the island nation out of ash and lava(熔岩), which heat huge underground lakes to the boiling point. The hot water is piped into cities providing heat for homes, businesses and even swimming pools. The water runs through turbines(涡轮机), providing all the country’s electricity.
Iceland wants to make plans to improve its cars, buses and trucks to run on renewable energy. Iceland has already started by turning water into fuel ----hydrogen(氢) fuel. Here’s how it works: Electrodes (电极) change the water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules(分子). Hydrogen electrons pass through a conductor that creates the current to power an electric engine.
Hydrogen fuel now costs two to three times as much as gasoline, but gets up to three times the distance than gas, making the overall cost about the same. As an added benefit, there is no carbon(碳) ----only water steam.
In the capital, Reykjavik, they are already testing three hydrogen-powered electric buses. The drivers are impressed. “I like these buses better because with hydrogen you get no pollution,” said bus driver Rognvaldur Jonatanison. By the middle of this century, all Icelanders will be required to run their cars only on hydrogen fuel, meaning no more gasoline.
“If we make hydrogen and use that as a fuel for transportation then we can run the whole society on our own local renewable energy sources,”said Marie Mack. Icelanders are showing the world that by making fuel from water, it is possible to kick the oil habit.
72. From Paragraph 1 we may infer that ________.
A. Iceland lacks natural resources
B. volcanoes do more good than harm to Iceland
C. Iceland only depends on oil for energy
D. Iceland’s electricity is made from coal
73. Which of the following is necessary during the period of turning water into fuel according to Paragraph 2?
A. Lava
B. Electric engine
C. Conductor
D. Turbine
74. The cars with hydrogen as fuel ________.
A. are environmentally friendly
B. are cheaper
C. run much faster
D. will make useful steam
75. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Pollution saying goodbye to the world.
B. Iceland becoming a country without oil
C. Iceland began to turn water into fuel
D. Man able to kick the oil
habit
第四: 任务型阅读（10分，每小题2 分）
Getting to work in a big city is no easy nature, but one popular saying has a solution, “taking a bus is too crowed, getting a taxi is too expensive, buying a car is not practical, better to share a car with others.”
Now arranging to car share, or car pool, is easier than ever before, thanks to the proliferating(扩散)number of specialized companies and websites arriving on the scene as the popularity of car-pooling grows. Lots of car owners are opting(选择)to share their cars, due to the rising costs of gas. Not only does car pooling save them money, it also makes full use of their car and helps them make new friends.
Participates get to enjoy the luxury of riding in a private car and save up to 70% of their transport costs.
Car pooling also helps ease traffic jams by decreasing the number of cars in the road and increasing the number of people in each car.
Many countries, like German and Singapore , encourage their residents to car-pool by levying (征收)fines on any private cars found on the road at peak hour with just one driver.
Zhang Gaoqiang, who returned from abroad, raves(提倡)about
car-pooling, saying it save the owner money and economically solves the problem of how to get to work.
But anyone thinking of trying this new form of transport should be aware
that there are a number of issues they will need to resolve. Like what
will happen if the car is late or if there is an accident. Who will protect
the passengers’ rights? As more and more people start to share their
rides, the answers to these questions will become clearer.
