第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。

A
Some scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings. The noise that affect sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.
Decibels（分贝）measured in water are different from those measured on land.
A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.
Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frightened and confuse whales.
A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that loud noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales’ ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.
Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.
Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.
56. According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?
A. The man-made noises.
B. The noises made by themselves.
C. The sound of earthquakes.
D. The sound of the ice-breaking.
【解析】考查对第一句话“…animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.”的理解。

【答案】A
57. Which of the following is discussed in the second paragraph?
A. Different places with different types of noises.
B. The very human ears sensitive to all types of noises.
C. The same noise measured differently on land and in the ocean.
D. The ocean animal’s reaction to noises.
【解析】关键词句：A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.
【答案】C
58. As to the influence of noises on whales, which of the following statements is true?
A. They are deaf to noises.
B. Noises at a certain level may hurt them.
C. They are easily confused by noises.
D. Noises will limit their ability to reproduce.
【解析】文中说“…powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing…Some of the whales even died.”可见一定程度的噪音能伤害鲸鱼。

【答案】B
59. We can know from the passage that many scientists think that the noise limit of one hundred twenty decibels would______.
A. prevent them from doing their research work
B. benefit them a lot in their research work
C. do good to their health
D. increase the industrial output
【解析】“They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.”这句话的意思是：他们说这个限度意味着重要的工业和科学研究的结束。

与A项同义。

【答案】A
60. According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?
A. They will try their best to decrease noise.
B. They will work hard to cut down noise pollution.
C. They will study the effect of different noises.
D. They will protect animals from harmful noises.
【解析】从“They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.”可以看出，科学家们会采取措施保护海洋动物免于噪音侵害。

【答案】D
B
Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to get rid of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem—how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat, but the eat given off by such objects as light bulbs（灯泡）and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no fuel is needed to make the campus’ six buildings comfortable.
Some parts of most modern buildings—theaters and offices as well as classrooms—are more than sufficiently（足够）heated by people and lights and sometimes must be airconditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called“heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University’s system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it in others.
Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its producers. The
harder a student studies the more heat his body gives off. Male students send out more heat than female students and the larger a student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard-working over weight male genius（天才）.
61. Which of the following is true of the heating system of the Johnstown campus? The heat is supplied by________.
A. human bodies, other heat sending objects, and fuel
B. both human bodies and other heat sending objects
C. both human bodies and fuel
D. human bodies
【解析】可从第一段的第四句找到答案。

【答案】B
62. The technique of heat recovery is used________.
A. to produce a special form of air-conditioning
B. to provide heat for the hot water system
C. to find out the source of heat
D. to collect and reuse heat
【解析】可从第二段的第二句找到答案。

【答案】D
63. Which of the following persons would produce the least amount of heat?
A. A thin male who studies hard.
B. A fat female who studies hard.
C. A fat male who does not study hard.
D. A thin female who does not study hard.
【解析】可从第三段的第二、三句反推出答案。

【答案】D
64. A good title for the passage would be_______.
A. MODERN BUILDING’S HEAT SYSTEM
B. A NEW HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM IN PITTSBURGH
C. A STRANGE OBJECT IN HEATING SYSTEM
D. RECOVERY OF BODY’S HEAT
【解析】此题是中心归纳题，全文是刘the University of Pittsburgh研究热能回收的技术。

故答案为B。

【答案】B
C
Ancient people made clay pottery because they needed it for their survival. They used the pots they make for cooking, storing food, and carrying things from place to place. Pottery was so important to early cultures that scientists now study it to learn more about ancient civilizations. The more advanced the pottery in terms of decoration, materials, glazes, and manufacture, the more advanced the culture itself.
The artisan who makes pottery in North America today utilizes his or her skill and imagination to create items that are beautiful as well as functional, transforming something ordinary into something special and unique.
The potter uses one of the Earth’s most basic materials, clay. Clay can be found almost anywhere. Good pottery clay must be free from all small stones and other hard materials that would make the potting process difficult. Most North American artisan potters now purchase commercially processed clay, but some find the clay they need right in the earth, close to where they work.
The most important tools potters use are their own hands; however, they also use wire loop tools, wooden modeling tools, plain wire, and sponges. Plain wire is used to cut away the finished pot from its vase on the potter’s wheel.
After a finished pot is dried of all its moisture in the open air, it placed in a kiln and fired. The first firing hardens the pottery, and it is then ready to be glazed and fired again.
For areas where they do not want any glaze, such as the bottom of the pot, artisans paint on melted wax that will later burn off in the kiln. They then pour on the liquid glaze and let it run over the clay surface, making any kind of decorative pattern that they want.
65. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Different kinds of clay.
B. The training of an artisan.
C. The making of pottery.
D. Crafts of ancient civilizations.
【解析】此题属主旨题，即找出该文章的中心思想。

67. According to the author, what do potters use to remove the pot from the wheel?
A. Melted wax.
B. A wire loop.
C. A sponge.
D. Plain wire.

From poor beginnings to most expensive player
ZINEDINE Zidane，who dreams of leading France to its second World Cup title in
a row next month，has always preferred to express himself with a football rather
than with words．

He became one of the world’s most expensive players when he joined Real Madrid from Italy's Juventus for US $ 66 million．And he has been a national hero since he scored twice in the 3-O defeat of Brazil in the 1998 World Cup Final．But despite his success，Zidane has always kept his feet on the ground．He leads a quite family life，there is hardly any gossip about him and he avoids putting his
wife and two children in the spotlight．
“Just because I'm a public figure it doesn't mean I have to express myself on everything．I don't like to discuss some personal matters publicly．”he said．Even as a child playing football in the slum area of Marseille，France，where he was raised by his Algerian parents，Zidane was shy．
He loved football even as a little kid．“I realized football is a wonderful mixture of a sharp mind and hard training rather than just talking，”he said．Even when the match awards were just chocolate and bread，Zidane found that football made his poor childhood rich．
Before he was 1 O years old，it was obvious that he could become a great footballer．He was offered his first professional contract(合同)when he was just 20．Now，at the age of 29，he has already picked up two World Player of the year awards．
This quiet striker has not yet spoken of his hopes for the coming World Cup．But his fans across the world will be eagerly watching him to see what he'll do this time．
