Harvard第三部分: 阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并将答案涂在答题卡上A.Paper-free studiesImagine a classroom missing the one thing that's long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing ? paper. No notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to run out of ink at the critical (关键的) moment.A "paperless classroom" is what more and more schools are trying to achieve.Students don't do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm (手掌) size, or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student's personal computer.Having computers also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any subject they're studying ? from maths to social science.High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn about the war in Afganistan (阿富汗) over one year ago."We could touch every side of the country through different sites ? from the forest to refugee camps (难民营)," she said. "Using a book that's three or four years old is impossible."And exams can go online too. At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own electronic grade book.A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, US, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each student."Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers," she said.But, with all this technology, there's always the risk (危险) that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available (可用的) for these hi-tech students.36.What does the part of the last sentence in the first paragraph, “run out of ink at the critical moment”, mean?A.

Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TV. In order to read this magazine, you have to have a decoder. Each page of it is numbered, so you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There is a wide choice—everything is included from cooking to the latest sports news. If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to turn to is the index page which has an easy-to-remember page number,100 for example.Then you start choosing what you want to read. The news is on page 101 to 109 so you push out the numbers and the news appears written across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for the list of the week‟s best bargains. But should you drive or take a train? To answer that question you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It is very simple to use. But probably the best thing about the service is that it is being undated all the time. Journalist type new material directly onto the screen and whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes. London already has three services. One, transmitted by ITV, is called ORACLE while the other two ,on BBC, are called CEEFAX because they let you see facts.Although CEEFAX and ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized. BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere. But many people would agree that this is a breakthrough as great as the invention of printing, which could change not just out reading habits but our whole way of life.44.The novelty(新颖) of magazine lies in ___.A. its paperlessnessB. its unique viewpointC. its simplicity in operationD. its quickness transmission45.We can know from the passage that ___.A. the magazine id available at any local newspaperB. most of the post men in London will lose their jobs somedayC. the readers can get all of the information staying at homeD. everyone can read this magazine if they have a television46.In the sentence “ Each page of it is numbered”, here “it” refers to the ___.A .decoder B. magazine C. program D. subject47.According to the passage, the underlined word “decoder” is used to help people_____.A. calculate the sum of certain figuresB. receive some special TV program for entertainment(娱乐)C. go shopping and have other entertainmentD. read the information transmitted by TV signals48.The passage is mainly about ___.A. a new magazine printed in LondonB. a popular program about magazinesC. an advanced technology helping people to communicateD. an up-to-date way of keeping up to dateDWestern teens share their top tunesHave you ever wondered what kind of music kids across the Pacific Ocean are listening to? Are they crazy about Britney Spears? Do they love the Backstreet Boys? Or do they dance to Eminem?Well, nearly 6,000 teens have taken part in a Teens & Music study, conducted by USA Weekend Magazine last autumn. And the results show what type of music is hot and what is not.It comes as no surprise that hip-hop (街舞音乐) and rap(说唱乐) are the most popular types of music among American teenagers. They began in the mid-1970s, with young black kids in New Y ork, taking music onto the streets. Hip-hop and rap are well-known for the breakdancing (霹雳舞) that goes with them.The word "rap" comes from a 1960s slang (俚语) word for conversation. It is a rapid, slangy rhyme (韵律) that is spoken rather than sung.Eminem is among the most popular rappers ever to hit the US. His first album "The Marshall Mathers LP" topped the American music chart (排行榜) in May 2000. Although about a third of teens in the US showed their support for him, almost as many said that his music was so offensive that they couldn't listen to it.Compared with Eminem, actor-rapper Will Smith is more of a star for the kids. He was awarded the Wannabe A ward, on April 12 at Nickelodeon's 16th Annual Kids' Choice A wards. It is an award given to a celebrity whom kids most want to be.Pop music, such as Brittney Spears and the Backstreet Boys has always suited the tastes of the general public. It continues to enjoy support among teens and is second most popular after rap.Third is rock —music with exciting dance beats(节拍) and simple lyrics that speak loudly of social problems. The melodies (旋律) are led by electric guitars. Rock became popular in the US in the early 1950s. American singer Elvis Presley and British group the Beatles became world-famous rock artists.The study also showed that jazz is least loved by American teens. It developed in the latter part of the 19th century from a mixture of African work songs and hymns (赞美诗). Jazz tends to be the type of music that people enjoy more as they get older.49．Which of the following developed the earliest, according to the text?A. Hip-hop and rap.B. Breakingdance.C. Rock.D. Jazz.50.What does the word “offensive” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Loud.B. Quick.C. Unpleasant.D. Slangy.三:书面表达根据提示写一篇100字左右的短文。
