第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
To American visitors, Iceland is a very interesting country, partly because it
is different in so many ways from what he or she is used to seeing at home. There are quite a few things that are not done, or that do not exist on the island - quite
a few "No's".
There is no pollution, for instance. No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik, the capital. There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July, and only three hours of black-and-white TV the rest of the time. There is no hard liquor on Wednesdays and no beer at any time. There are no handguns; only one jail of thirty-five cells（牢房） in the entire land – an admirable figure, even for a small country of 313,376 people.
There is no army, air force or navy. There is no tipping for anything. There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays. Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle, there is no darkness in summer and do daylight in winter. But thanks to Gulf Stream, the climate is rather mild, with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees Fahrenheit to 52 degrees in July.
The rules on television, liquor, and guns are the result of governmental decision. But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser（间歇泉）and the thousands of hot springs that come out of the ground. They provide all the energy needed by the country. In fact, Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power.
Iceland has been described as a democratic (民主的) independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world. The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature. They composed their first works in the ninth and tenth centuries AD. These works were poems and tales about the kings, heroes, and heroines of Iceland and Norway. At first the stories were memorized and passed from generation to generation. The Icelanders have never stopped writing ever since. “Rather shoeless than bookless," they proudly say.
56. American visitors enjoy visiting Iceland probably
because .
A. no dogs are permitted in the capital
B. the police do not carry handguns
C. it is very different from America
D. the climate is rather mild.
57. The following statements are true EXCEPT .
A. there are no soldiers in Iceland
B. the Icelanders don't drink beer
C. there is no service fee of any kind
D. there are no crimes in Iceland
58. There is no pollution in Iceland mainly because .
A. Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power
B. the Icelanders use hot water from the ground below as their energy
C. it is located just under the Arctic Circle
D. it is a democratic independent country
59. "Rather shoeless than bookless" means .
A. they regard books more important than shoes.
B. they would rather have shoes on than write books
C. they prefer traveling to reading
D. they prefer not to have shoes or books
B
Luo Gaoqi hopes to join the increasing number of Chinese students in the United States because he wants the experience of studying in a foreign land as it will help his future job at home. “I want to try Western education because people there think differently,” said the 21-year-old who is in his final year of undergraduate studies. “I also hope to meet friends from different cultures. The social connections may help in the future.”
The latest report from the US-based institute of International Education said China, for the first time, has become the top country of origin for international students in the United States.
For Yang Fan, a journalism student, said studying in the United States is a way to escape the competition for places in China’s top universities.
“Due to limited education resources, only about 60 percent of high school graduates in China enter college, and a much lower rate enters the top-level ones. “A foreign degree will definitely help when I seek a job in China,” Yang said.
Both Yang’s and Luo’s parents are supportive of them studying abroad. Neither of them is thinking of settling down in the United States after graduation.
“It is not realistic to do so. As a journalism student, there would be no advantage for me to work in the United States,” Yang said. “But in China, with a US degree and good English, I may stand out against other students who have only studied in China.”
China still needs to improve its environment for scientists and high-level talents, said Xiao Mingzheng, director of the Center for Human Resource Development and Management Research of Peking University, adding that, in particular, the country needs to improve its policies relating to research environments.
In June, the Chinese government published a plan concerning talent development for the next 10 years. In it, it has improved policies and increased budgets to attract talented students back home.
60. Why does Luo Gaoqi wants to study in a foreign land according to his words?
A. Because the people there are more intelligent.
B. Because the foreign countries are more developed.
C. Because he can make more friends there.
D. Because the culture there is different from that in China.
61. What do Guo Gaoqi and Yang Fan have in common?
A. Their major is the same, which is journalism.
B. Both of them want to go back to China after graduation.
C. Their parents are against their decision.
D. They are forced to study in a foreign land by their parents.
62. From the passage, we can infer that _______.
A. scientists and high-level talents need a better environment in China
B. the students abroad are unwilling to go back to China
C. China doesn’t need those people to come back to our country at all
D. we all need to go abroad to study and then serve our own country
C
London, Reuters--What could annoy teenagers enough to make them stop hanging out with friends and go home？
No, it's not a visit from their mothers, and not a threat to take away their cellphones or pocket money.
It's high-frequency noise. The UK police recently agreed to use a device (装置) called the Sonic Teenager Deterrent. It sends out a sound that makes teenagers become so impatient and angry that they have to cover their ears tightly and walk away.
The sound is at extreme high-pitch that can be heard by those under 20. The body's natural ability to detect some wave bands decreases almost entirely after 20, so few adults can hear the sounds. The black-box device, nicknamed the Mosquito because of its sound, can be fixed to the outside walls of shops, offices and homes. It sounds to youngsters like a crazy insect or a badly played violin. But it causes no physical damage.
A number of police forces and councils have given permission to use the system and want to install (安装) it at trouble spots.
Staffordshire Police Inspector Amanda Davies, who has given the device to shopkeepers in the Moorlands area, said," It is controlled by the shopkeepers--if they can see through their window that there is a problem, they turn the device on for a while until the group has run away."
63. The device can be used to _______.
A. threaten teenagers in public
B. drive away trouble-makers under 20
C. help mothers control their teenage children
D. help the police control shopkeepers
64. From the passage we can know that _______.
A. young people often suffer from pains in ears
B. shopkeepers are troubled by noisy insects
C. high-frequency noise is beyond the listening ability of people over 20
D. the police invented a new device to deal with teenagers
65. The purpose of the writer to write the passage is ______.
A. to advertise a new hi-tech device
B. to tell the reader a piece of news
C. to sell the device to shopkeepers
D. to inform the public as the spokesman of the police
66. Who will welcome the device most?
A. Shopkeepers.
B. The police.
C. Young people.
D. The producer.
D
Researchers have found more evidence that suggests a relationship between races (种族) and rates (率) of lung cancer among smokers. A new study shows that black people and Native Hawaiians are more likely to develop lung cancer from smoking. It compared their risk to whites, Japanese-Americans and Latinos.
Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Hawaii did the new study. The New England Journal of Medicine published the findings. The eight-year research studied more than 180,000 people. They included present and former smokers and people who never smoked. Almost 2.000 people in the study developed lung cancer.
Researchers say genetics (遗传学) might help explain the racial and ethnic （种族的） differences. There could be differences in how people's bodies react to smoke. But environmental influences, including the way people smoke, could also make a difference.
African-Americans and Latinos in the study are reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day. Whites are the heaviest smokers. But the scientists point out that blacks have been reported to breathe cigarette smoke more deeply than white smokers. This could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals in tobacco that cause cancer.
Scientists know that some diseases effect different groups differently. And some drug companies have begun to develop racially targeted (针对) medicines. Last June, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients. The name is BiDil. The agency called it "a step toward the promise of personalized medicine."
67．Researchers agree that it is that may probably determine black people’s risk of lung cancer.
A. the larger amount of smoking than white people
B. the living style or habit of the blacks
C. the depth of cigarette smoke into their lungs
D. the physical strength to react to cigarette smoke
68．People in the new study are made up of .
A. heavy smokers in America B．smokers and non-smokers
C. the Asians and Hawaiians D．the black and white people
69．The production of BiDil referred to in the last paragraph is to .
A. explain different races react to some diseases differently
B. tell the readers that racial differences exist in smokers
C. show a big step people have taken in the medicine area
D. support the idea that it is easy for blacks to have cancers
70．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the author?
A. The way of smoking may increase the risk of lung cancer.
B. Race has nothing to do with the risk of having a lung cancer.
C. The research was started by the New England Journal of Medicine.
D. he risk of lung cancer lies I how much a person smokes.

选项中有两项为多余选项。

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 71 . Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 72 If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 73 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
74 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 75 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended（冒犯）.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such q uestions.
A. It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the
words to the person’s face.
C. Everyone was new to the network once.
D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful
to hear.
F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their
messages.
G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.

Is a Training Class or Family Teacher Necessary?
More and more middle school students are going to all kinds of training classes or having family teachers at the weekend. There are two different viewpoints about it.
Some thinks it necessary. Firstly, it’s more effective to study with a teacher than by themselves. Secondly, it can strengthen what is learnt in class. Besides, they can learn a lot more, Others think it unnecessary. For one thing, students can easily form the habit of dependence. For another, students need time to relax from time to time. What’s more, the purpose of many training classes and teachers is to make money.
In my opinion, whether a training class or family teacher is needed just depends. If you are really very weak at or interested in a certain subject, maybe it’s OK
for you. But be sure to choose a good and suitable class or teacher, otherwise it would be a waste of time and money.。
