第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Do you know that computers can be a real pain for your kids? Sitting for a long time in positions that aren’t natural for their body can strain their hands, wrists, back, and eyes. So children shouldn’t spend too much time online or playing games. Even though you’re the daughter of Bill Gates, it does not mean that you get to play on your computer all day long.
The Microsoft(MSFT.O) founder said his 10-year-old daughter, his oldest child, was not a hard-core Internet and computer user until this year, When she started at a school where the students use tablet computers for almost everything. “She became very eager and discovered a lot of computer games. She could spend two or three hours a day on this Viva Pinata, because it’s kind of engaging and fun.”
Gates said he and his wife Melinda decided to set a limit of 45 minutes a day of total screen time for games and an hour a day on weekends, plus what time she needs for homework.
Microsoft’s new Vista software enables parents to control the Web sites their kids go to but also includes an
audit log that records sites they have visited and whom they’ve been Instant Messaging.
“Up to some age, to be determined, it’s very appropriate for a parent to get a sense of what they’re seeing out there and be able to have conversa tions about it,” he said.
“My son said, ‘Am I going to have limits like this my whole life?’ and I said, ‘No, when you move away you can set your own screen limits.’” Gates recounted, to audience laughter.
56. What damage can playing computer games too long bring to children?
A. Playing games too long is a real unpleasant experience.
B. Playing games too long can do much harm to children’s bodies.
C. Playing games too long can make children feel pain.
D. Playing games too long may cause children’s bodies unnatural.
57. How long can Bill’s daughter be allowed to spend before computer screen a week?
A. 5 hours and three quarters.
B. 10-15 hours.
C. 5.75 hours and more for her homework.
D. 10-15 hours and more for her homework.
58. What can we know about Bill Gates according to this passage?
A. Bill Gates has at least two children; one is a girl, the other a boy.
B. Bill Gates’ son is older than 12.
C. Bill Gates disagrees to his daughter’s using computers.
D. Bill Gates gives his son more freedom than he gives his daughter.
59. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. When one develops the self-control, he doesn’t need a limit.
B. Everyone should have a limit.
C. When you are not at home, no limit is needed.
D. Gates just makes a joke on his son.
B
New Year’s Day in Korea
Korea has the lunar New Year’s Day, called So-nal. On Sol-nal’s Eve, people hang special sieves outdoors to protect their family from evil and bad luck.
On the morning of Sol-nal, every family gath ers at their eldest male member’s home to perform Cha-rye, ancestral memorial rites. Bowls of Ttok-kuk, which means “adding age” are served. People believe if they have a bowl of this soup, they will become one year older. Koreans traditionally add one to their age, not after their birthdays but after Sol-nal.
After the big, very special breakfast, the younger people bow to their elders, wishing them health and long life, good luck, and prosperity through the whole year.
New Year’s Day in Vietnam
Before New Year’s Day, people buy such things as food, drinks, and gifts. They also need to clean and decorate their houses so that they are pretty. At midnight on New Year’s Day, people always have got some traditional foods and drinks ready on the table such as jams, fresh fruits, wine and hot tea. They pray for the best luck to come to their family. In the early morning, people need to visit their grandparents, parents, or siblings if
they don’t live with them. The next day, people visit their teachers and friends.
Chinese New Year
Families begin preparing for Chinese New Year in the middle of the twelfth lunar month. After the Hearth God returns to heaven, families begin a thorough housecleaning, scrubbing every nook and cranny to rid their homes of bad luck and welcome the New Year. Spring Couplets, door gods, and New Year prints are hung inside and outside the house and the central room is arranged to enhance the festive air of the season.
Several dishes are indispensable during the New Year season, including preserved meats, New Year cake, Traditionally these dishes were all made by hand and housewives began curing meats and steaming the New Year cake as early as three weeks in advance. With the busy lifestyles of today, however, few people take the time to make New Year’s dinner entirely from scratch, but rather will buy many of the items needed for the occasion.

In Europe people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right throughout the meal, a system that is generally agreed to be more efficient than the American zigzag(曲折的) method. Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises. A few explanations for this American style are as follows:
(1)Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in the right hand that can use them most efficiently.
(2)Americans, the master of the New World are rebels(叛逆者). They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining.
(3)Forced to do so, they respond by “playing” with the silver.
Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence(无知)of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. In Old World dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders(入侵者). However, such alertness(警觉) is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades(刀).
68. Americans use to hold their fork to pick up the salad.
A. the right hand
B. the left hand
C. both hands
D. either of the two hands
69. As the masters of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the Old World
to .
A. show their independence of Mother England
B. show their disrespect to Mother England
C. add a new tradition to those in Mother England
D. show off their creativeness to Mother England
70. In the sentence, the word “juggle” probably means.
A. hold
B. play with
C. pick up
D. lay down
71. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand.
B. The zigzag eating method is related to American characteristics.
C. The zigzag eating method has become an American feature.
D. European people will use the American method because of its efficiency.
E
Many of the most damaging types of weather begin quickly, strike suddenly, and disappear rapidly, destroying small areas while leaving neighboring areas untouched. Such event as a tornado(龙卷风) struck the northeastern part of Edmonton, Alberta, in July 1987. Total damages from the tornado went beyond $250 million, the highest ever for any Canadian storm.
Traditional computer models of the atmosphere have limited value in predicting short-lived local storms like the Edmonton tornado, because the available weather data are generally not detailed enough to allow computers to study carefully the slight atmospheric changes that come before these storms. In most nations, for example, weather-balloon observations are taken just once every twelve hours at places separated by hundreds of miles. With such limited data, traditional forecasting models do a much better job predicting general weather conditions over large areas than they do forecasting specific local events.
Until recently, the observation intensive method needed for exact, very short-range forecasts, or “Nowcasts,” was not possible. The cost of equipping and operating many thousands of conventional weather stations was extremely high, and the difficulties concerned in rapidly collecting and processing the weather data from such a network were hard to overcome.
Fortunately, scientific and technological advances have overcome most of these problems. Radar(雷达) systems and satellites are all able to make detailed, nearly continuous observation over large areas at a lower cost. Communications satellites can send out data around the world cheaply and immediately, and modern computers can quickly collect and analyze this large amount of weather information.
Meteorologists(气象学者) and computer scientists now work together to design computer programs and video equipment able to change weather data into words and graphic displays(图解) that forecasters can understand easily and quickly. As meteorologists have begun using these new technologies in weather forecasting offices, nowcasting is becoming a reality.
72. Why can’t traditional computer models predict short-lived local storms?
A. The weather data people collect are often wrong.
B. Detailed weather data in some small areas are not available.
C. The computers are not advanced enough to predict them.
D. The computers are not used to forecast specific local events.
73. The word “Nowcast” in Paragraph 3 means .
A. a network to collect storm data
B. a way of collecting weather data
C. a more advanced system of weather observation
D. a forecast which can predict weather in the small area
74. What can make “Nowcasts” a reality according to the passage?
A. Scientific and technological advances.
B. Advanced computer programs.
C. Computer scientists.
D. Meteorologists.
75. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The advantages of “Nowcatsts”. B. A tornado in Edmonton, A1bertA.
C. The difficulty in predicting tornado.
D. A great development in weather forecast.

书面表达(One possible version)
These years, global warming is becoming a serious problem, endangering people’s life.
Several factors contribute to the rise of temperature. First of all, a lot of greenhouse gas is produced by cars and factories; further more, the loss of forests is another cause of global warming.
Global warming will cause some harmful effects. In the first place, some islands will disappear because of the rise of sea level. Extreme weather will also result from global warming. When temperature rises, the production of crops will decrease. Besides, some animals and plants will disappear from the planet, thus destroying the ecosystem.
Facing such a threat, we should join efforts to ‘cool’ the earth, such as taking a subway or bus to work instead of driving private cars to reduce greenhouse gas. All in all, we are supposed to remember it’s our responsibility to save our earth.。
