Ⅳ．阅读理解(共20分，每小题1分)
单项选择根据短文内容从各题的四个选项中选择一个最佳答案，并将代表字母填在答题卡的相应位置。

(A)
Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn‟t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.
Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing(批评)her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?
Since then, whenever I wanted to judge(评判)someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.
31. The writer couldn‟t see everything clearly through the window because________.
A. the woman‟s window was dirty. B .the writer‟s window was dirty
C. the woman lived nearby
D. the writer was near-sighted
32. The writer was surprised that __________________.
A. the woman was sitting by her window B .the woman‟s window was clean
C. the woman did cleaning in the afternoon
D. the woman‟s window was still terrible
33. “It dawned on me” probably means “________________”.
A.I began to understand it
B.it cheered me up
C.I knew it grew light
D. It began to get dark
34. It‟s clear that _______________________.
A.the writer had never met the woman before
B.the writer often washed the window
C.they both worked as cleaners
D.they lived in a small town
35. From the passage, we can learn _____________________.
A.one shouldn‟t criticize others very often
B.one should often make his windows clean
C.one must judge himself before he judges others
D.one must look at others through his dirty window
(B)
There is no doubt that mothers play an important leading role in the lives of their children. But what about a father‟s role? My belief is that fathers play just as important a role as mothers.
Dads give us support. They are the shore(岸)we swim to when our arms and legs feel increasingly tired. They are the strength we rely on as we take our first steps into the world. Dads can be gentle, tough(坚强的), powerful but they probably have the simplest love we ever know.
For daughters, Daddy is the first man they admire(钦佩) and the first man whose eyes shine with happiness when they look at them. He is the first man to fall in love with them.
_____,Daddy is their first idol(偶像), their mirror image of what will be and possibly the only man they will ever feel comfortable loving.
For mothers, the father of our children is the person we can trust to watch over the babies as closely as we would. We are protected in the knowledge of their love. A father is the person on the planet with whom we can do whatever we want…one who will be just as interested and never feel bored in the face of our devotion (奉献).
Without dads, we wouldn‟t be moms. I would like to thank them from all our hearts for this honor and for being our partners in this business of raising children.
36. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Fathers are as important as mothers.
B. Fathers are gentler than mothers.

A. a father
B. a mother
C. a teacher
D. a doctor
38. Which of the following can be put on the line in the fourth paragraph?
A. For mothers
B. For grandmothers

D. For sons
39. According to the passage we can know that_____________.
A. fathers‟ love is different from mothers
B. mothers usually don‟t allow fathers to look after their babies
C. fathers are always strong
D. if we have difficulties, we‟d better not let our fathers know
40. The best title of the passage is “__________”.

B. Dads are our idols
C. The importance of father
D. Fathers and mothers
(C)
Sometimes you want to save money on your electric and help Mother Earth, but you don‟t want to spend more money on those expensive and colorful LED(发光二极管)bulbs. What should you do then? Soon, there‟ll be another choice. You can coat your room with low-energy wallpaper that lights the room instead of light bulbs.
Maybe it sounds dangerous to have such electric things on the wall. Don‟t worry. The voltage(电压)is low enough that you won‟t feel a thing if you happen to lean(斜靠) against the wall. Unlike the bright bulbs, the wallpaper‟s light is soft, and looks like sunlight. You‟ll be able to control how bright you want the room to be by yourself.
A UK company called Lomox has received ﹩720,000 from the Carbon Trust to develop the new technology(科技)and get it ready for the general public. It is said that the technology should appear in the UK as early as 2012.
The special coating, which can be painted onto walls, is tow and a half times as energy-efficient(节能的)as LED lights. And it doesn‟t cost much more, because the wallpaper only needs three or five volts. It can also be powered by solar cells(太阳能电池).
This technology seems fascinating. But there‟s one problem: How much does it cost to coat the walls of a room?
41. What is another choice to save money on your electric?
A. To use expensive light bulbs.
B. To coat rooms with low-energy wallpaper.
C. To use fewer light bulbs.
D. To cover your room with a cloth.
42. The wallpaper with electricity isn‟t dangerous because____.
A. the voltage is low enough
B. the wallpaper‟s light is soft
C. it looks like sunlight
D. you can control the brightness by yourself
43. Why did the Carbon Trust give Lomox ﹩720,000?
A. Because the wallpaper is expensive.
B. Because the wallpaper will appear in 2012.
C. Because the Carbon Trust wanted to coat the room.
D. Because the Carbon Trust wanted to support the new technology.
44. What does the underlined word “powered” mean in the passage?
A. 推动
B. 前进
C. 供电
D. 移动
45. Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The wallpaper needs only three or five volts.
B. The wallpaper is low-energy.
C. You can‟t lean against the wallpaper with electricity.
D. The new technology is fascinating.
(D)
The use of paper money began in the Tang dynasty(唐朝)，about 1200 years ago. At that time, it was called “flying cash” because the wind could take it away. The use of paper became popular during the Song dynasty. Every piece of paper had pictures of houses, trees, and people on it. Every bill was in red and black. Like the paper money we use now, it also had some special marks on it. By having these marks, it would be helpful to tell whether the paper money was a fake(赝品). Then it wouldn‟t be so easy to counterfeit it.The paper money was very beautiful. The reason it became popular so quickly was that it was convenient to take and use. People didn‟t have to take heavy coins to stores or shops. People could use it to buy the things they need. The use of old paper money ended in 1897. In the same year, China started to use modern paper money. But Europe started using it in 1600s.
46. What didn‟t people draw on the paper money in the old times?
A. Buildings.
B. Trees.
C. Birds.
D. People.
47. What does the word “counterfeit” mean?
A. 使用

C. 画画
D. 生产
48. What was NOT the reason that paper money became popular?
A. It was easy to use.
B. It was convenient to buy things.
C. It was beautiful to see.
D. It was light to take.
49. Which one is TRUE?
A. Modern paper money has been used for over 100 years.
B. People stopped using paper money in 1897.
C. There were more than two colors on the old paper money.
D.Chinese people used modern paper money earlier than European people.
50. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Secret of paper.
B. Flying Cash.

At 2:28 pm on May 12th, 2008, a big earthquake happened in Sichuan Province. Suddenly, thousands of tall buildings were destroyed. Many people lost their lives. Many children and people became homeless, but they did not give up.
The government and the Chinese people gave the victims all kinds of help in the shortest possible time. A few house later, a large number of soldiers, ambulances(救护车) and medical teams from other provinces went to the disaster areas to help the victims. People
donated blood voluntarily. Many young people stopped studying and working to be
volunteers to help look after the injured persons. People from all over China and the world raised money for the disaster areas. On TV , all channels reported the latest news about it. Some reporters even could not help crying while they worked.
Many moving stories happened in this earthquake. Some teachers risked their lives to
protect their students; some parents sacrificed their chance to survive so their kids could … even many strangers helped other people in danger when the earthquake happened. Many soldiers worked hard for many days in this terrible environment…
I believe we Chinese people can overcome this disaster, and live better in the future,
because we are in a big warm family. We love and support each other. Just as the old saying: “Unity is power ”, we can overcome all the difficulties we have.
