三、阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America, you fly over forests for thousands of kilometers. These great forests are the oceans of trees. They are full of thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animal. However, the world forests are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear?

Early in the 16th century men were trying to reach Asia by traveling west from Europe. In order to find Asia they had to find a way past South America. The man who finally
found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan(麦哲伦). Magellan sailed from Seville in August, 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending the cold winter on the coast of Patagonia, he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan Strait(海峡). In November, 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America. They then continued, hoping to reach Asia. But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines(菲律宾), men were dying of starvation. While they were staying in the Philippines, Magellan was killed in battle. The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain. They decided to sail round Africa. After many difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville three years after leaving. They were all that remained of Magellan’s expedition. However, their achievement was great. They were the first men to sail round the world.

We live in a digital world now, and a student's technology needs have changed. For the early years, say when you are in primary school, you can get by with no technology at all. Even if you have a computer, it's a good idea to get children familiar with libraries. At this age, trips to the library are like family outings.
As you get closer to middle school, a computer with Internet access becomes more of a necessity. Teachers will often give assignments that require a student to use the Internet for research. After a computer, technology choices for students become more difficult to make – especially when it comes to cell-phones. Kids will beg their parents for a cell-phone, especially in middle school. For many parents, it's a safety issue: They want to know that their kids can reach them quickly if necessary.
For teachers, cell phones can be used to record lessons when students are absent. But many teachers dislike cell-phones. Some kids send messages or have talks in the class. Sending messages also raises the problem of cheating on exams. More and more schools are now forbidding the use of cell-phones.
Many kids see iPods as necessary things to have. iPods are great for music, but do they do anything good for your c hildren’s education? Maybe they do. That’s the opinion of Doug Johnson, an educator for 30 years. Johnson says that educators should accept all new forms of technology in the classroom, including iPods. “Some do more with their cell- phones than we can do with our laptops,” he jokes. “I don’t think we should be afraid. The truth is that it’s easier to change the way we teach than to change the technology habits of an entire generation.”
51. According to author, primary school children should___.
A. use the computer and the Internet regularly
B. ask their parents to buy them cell-phones
C. buy iPods to listen to music
D. go to libraries to read more books
52. Why do parents agree to buy their children cell-phones?
A. They want their children to be cool.
B. They think cell-phones be helpful to their study.
C. They want to keep in touch with their children.
D. They want their children to keep up to date.
53. The following are all reasons why many teachers dislike cell-phones EXCEPT ____.
A. cell-phones can be used to cheat on exams
B. schoolchildren will send messages during class
C. cell-phones can be used to record lessons
D. schoolchildren might talk on them during class
54. What does the underlined word “that” refers to?
A. iPods can be used to listen to music.
B. iPods can be helpful for children’s education.
C. iPods can be used to play games.
D. iPods are necessary for children’s lives.
55. We can infer from what Doug Johnson said that _____.
A. cell-phones are not useful to students
B. teachers should let students use cell-phones
C. it’s better for teachers to change their teaching methods
D. schoolchildren should follow the trends(潮流) of fashion
D
A lot of teachers hate doodlers(乱写乱画的人)during classes．“Pay attention!” Teachers will often warn doodling students，sure that they must be daydreaming．However, according to a recent study, doodling while listening to a boring lecture helps concentrate the attention.
Andrade，a psychology professor in England asked participants to listen to a boring lecture．Half the participants were told to color in squares and circles freely on a piece of paper while listening to the lecture. The other half weren’t given a
task．After it was over, the participants were asked to retell the lecture．Those given the doodling task(color in squares and circles)remembered 29 percent more information than the non-doodlers．Andrade said.
“If someone is doing a boring task，like listening to a dull conversation，they may start daydream，”said Professor Andrade．
“Daydreaming distracts(使分心)them from the task，resulting in poorer performance.
A simple task，like doodling，can stop them from daydreaming without affecting their performance at the tas k,” he said.
So the next time you’re doodling during a class，and you hear “pay attention”，you can tell the teacher with confidence that you’ve been paying attention to every word.
56．The passage mainly tells us ．
A．doodling will be banned in classes B. teachers are against doodling C．doodling may help concentrate D. doodling can lead to daydream 57．Teachers hate doodlers because they thought ．
A．doodlers are not good at study B．doodlers are doing no task C．doodlers pay no attention in class D．doodlers are not polite to them
58．According to the text，it is helpful to doodle when ．
A．a boring lecture is given B．an interesting story is told C．watching a long TV program D．having a conversation with the teacher
59．Professor Andrade thinks ．
A．those given the doodling task can remember less information
B．if you have daydream during classes you’ll have a good memory C．daydreaming is better than doodling
D．doodling can stop us from daydreaming
60．We can learn from the text that
A．doodling is the best way to draw attention
B．daydreaming is different from doodling
C．doodling will be helpful in any occasion
D．every student should doodle in class

Last Sunday my father and I went fishing along a river. We found the water very dirty that we could hardly catch any fish in it. A lot of factories along the river always poured their waste water and rubbish straightly into the river, which made the river polluting. In this way most of the fish in the river was killed. Unless the rivers all over the country are polluted like this, no living things will be exist in the water. As we all know, environmental pollution do great harm to living things and human beings. Now more and more people have come to realize what serious this problem is. Our government is doing her best to take measure to fight against pollution. We expect that water in every river will be made cleaner and cleaner before long.

Good morning! Boys and girls,
As we know, April 23rd is World Reading Day. Nowadays, a lot of students prefer to spend much time in watching TV and they are crazy about Internet. So, most of them don't have enough time to read books. And still worse, they don't like reading. However, reading is necessary. I firmly think that by reading, we not only enrich our life ,and broaden our horizons but also learn to perfect our personality. Now that reading is good for us, let’s develop a good habit of reading. I st rongly suggest that every one of us should read at least one or two good books every term.
