Ⅳ. 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
(A)
Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks’time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive if the rain is spread throughout the year. If it falls within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.
Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.
There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs(悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years
ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing—very, very slowly—as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.
Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.
56. Many plants may survive in deserts when_______ .
A. the rain is spread out in a year
B. the rain falls only in a few weeks
C. there is little rain in a year
D. it is dry all the year round
【解析】选A。

细节推理题。

第一段“Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive if the rain is spread throughout the year. ”表明，当常年下雨时，许多植物可以在沙漠中存活。

57. Sand dunes are formed when_______ .
A. sand piles up gradually
B. there is plenty of rain in a year
C. the sea has dried up over the years
D. pieces of rock get smaller
【解析】选A。

细节推理题。

第二段“Sand dunes are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. ”说明沙丘是慢慢堆积而成的。

58. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that in a desert there is_______.
A. too much sand
B. more sand than before
C. nothing except sand
D. something else besides sand
【解析】选D。

句意猜测题。

根据第四段“Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. ”可猜测出，这句话的意思是“除了沙以外，沙漠中还有其他很多东西”。

59. It can be learned from the text that in a desert_______ .
A. there is no rainfall throughout the year
B. life exists in rough conditions
C. all sand dunes are a few feet high
D. rocks are worn away only by wind and heat
【解析】选B。

推理判断题。

根据最后一段“During the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely. ”可推断出沙漠中的生物在非常恶劣的条件下生存。

（B）
Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means.
Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines(刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.
Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animal’s teeth.
Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar(毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.
Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance, has prickly(多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom(毒液). A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.
60. The holly plant has more spines on the lower leaves because most animals________.
A. are not tall enough
B. like the lower leaves only
C. are not clever enough
D. can get the lower leaves easily
【解析】选D。

事实细节题。

第二段中“Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach. ”告诉我们，冬青树底部叶子上的刺比上部多的原因是动物更容易得到底部的叶子。

61. To defend themselves, oak trees use________.
A. chemical means
B. physical means
C. bitter chemicals
D. sandy materials
【解析】选B。

细节推断题。

根据第三段中的“Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. ”可判断出，橡树采用了物理办法来保护自己。

62. How does tobacco protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar?
A. Its leaves fight against the attack by physical means.
B. Its roots send a messenger to discourage the caterpillar.
C. Its roots increase the production of nicotine when it is attacked.
D. Its leaves produce poisonous sand to drive the caterpillar away.
【解析】选C。

细节推断题。

根据倒数第二段中的“The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar. ”可推断出，烟草在受到毛虫攻击时，根部产生的尼古丁增多。

63. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Plants and Animals
B. How Plants Defend Themselves
C. Attacks and Defenses
D. How Animals Eat Plant Leaves
【解析】选B。

主旨大意题。

这篇短文讲述了植物采用各种手段来防止外来攻击，保护自己。

（C）
Young Smith had an idea for his employer. It was an idea for saving money for the company by increasing prices. At the same time, Smith suggested that the company sell goods of less value.
If his employer liked the idea, Smith might be given more pay. Perhaps he meant to get a better job in the company.
Business had been very slow. So Smith’s employer thought a few minutes about the idea. But then she shook her head. “I am sorry, Smith, ”the employer said. “It will not wash. ”
Of course, Smith’s idea is not reasonable. But why did his employer say, “It will not wash?”Most word experts agree that“it will not wash”means it will not work. The saying probably developed in Britain. Charlotte Bronte first used it in a story published in 1849. Bronte seems to have meant that the dyes(染料) used to color a piece of clothing were not good. The colors could not be depended on to stay in cloth.
In the 19th century England, the expression came to mean an undependable statement. It was used mainly to
describe an idea. But sometimes it was used about a person.
A critic once said the poet Robert Browning, “He won’t wash. ”He meant that Browning’s poems could not be depended on to last. Today, Robert Browning is still considered a major poet. But very few people remember the man who said Browning would not wash.
Luckily for Smith, his employer wanted him to do well in the company. So the employer “talked turkey”to him. She said, “Your idea would not be fair to our buyers. Think of another way to save money. ”
64. Smith advised the employer to sell goods of less value, because_______.
A. the company could save money
B. he must get more money
C. he wanted to get a better job
D. the employer would think much of his idea
【解析】选C。

由第二段的内容可知。

65. According to the story of the expression, “it will not wash”______.
A. only means “it doesn’t work”
B. was first used in Charlotte Bronte’s works
C. came from a British story
D. was first used by the British
【解析】选B。

由第四段的内容可知。

66. According to Paragraph 6, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The critic didn’t like Browning’s poems.
B. Browning’s poems were not well received at that time.
C. The critic’s idea was not reasonable.
D. Browning was a major poet at the time.
【解析】选B。

由第六段第三句可推知，Browning依然是主流诗人，可以看出他在当时是深受欢迎的。

67. The passage tells us_______.
A. the story of the expression “it will not wash”
B. what “it will not wash”usually means
C. how to use the expression “it will not wash”
D. who spread the expression“it will not wash”
【解析】选B。

综观全文，讲的是“it will not wash”这个习语的意义。

(D)
Driving after taking alcohol or drugs has been a problem for many years in the United States. Drunk driving makes the headlines, but the danger of driving after smoking marijuana or using other drugs has been overlooked. Twenty years ago, Americans started the battle against accidents caused by drunk driving. As a result of a good effort by the entertainment industry, lawmakers and government officials, doctors, teachers and parents, we have made great progress in increasing the awareness of the dangers of drunk driving. More importantly, we have succeeded in changing Americans’behaviors—drunk driving accidents have been reduced to 10, 959 in 1998 from 18, 444 in 1982.
A national dialogue continues to remind people not to drink and drive or get into a car with someone who has.
But how many parents talk to their kids about the risks of riding with someone who is driving high on marijuana? How many people believe that marijuana actually makes them better drivers? Like alcohol, marijuana and other drugs can weaken many of those skills that are needed greatly in good driving, such as alertness, the ability to concentrate, coordination and reaction time. These effects can last up to 24 hours after smoking marijuana. If you combine drug use with teens’inexperience on
the road and risk-taking behavior, you can imagine the possibility of a disaster. In 2002, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that 10 to 22 percent of drivers involved in all vehicle crashes have recently used an illegal drug, often in combination with alcohol.
68. By saying “Drunk driving makes the headlines”, the writer means that _________.
A. accidents caused by drunk driving are much more
B. the danger of drunk driving is reported widely
C. accidents caused by drunk driving are seldom reported
D. the danger of drunk driving is much greater
【解析】选B。

词义理解题。

make the headline 意为“做了标题”，言外之意就是加大宣传，下文“but the danger. . . has been overlooked”进一步说明酒后驾车的危险已深入人心了。

而吸毒后驾车的危险则被忽略。

所以B项正确。

69. By 1998, after the efforts of 16 years by the public, accidents caused by drunk driving have dropped by______ .
A. about 40%
B. about 45%
C. about 50%
D. nearly 60%
【解析】选A。

计算推理题。

把首段末句的两个数字10，959和18，444 的差除以18，444 得40. 6%，
从而得出事故减少的情况，所以只有A项“about 40%”正确。

70. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A. Some people believe that marijuana can make them better at driving.
B. 10 to 22 percent of drivers used an illegal drug, often in combination with alcohol in 2002.
C. Some inexperienced drivers take drugs combined with other drugs.
D. Many parents talk to their kids about the risks of riding with drugged drivers.
【解析】选A。

辨别正误题。

第三段的两个问句都是反问，所以A项正确。

B项曲解了短文末句的“10 to 22 percent”是指出了事故的司机中有那么多的比例。

71. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Drugged Driving
B. Teen Driving
C. Riding with Drugged Drivers
D. Drunk Driving
【解析】选A。

主旨大意题。

首段虽然涉及drunk driving，但这只是为了引出drugged driving，而其他几段都是有关后者的，所以选A项。

C项重在riding (坐车），与文章driving这一主题不一致。

(E)

【参考答案】
Computers in the Future
Ever since the first computer was built, computers have changed so much that each new one has been smaller, faster and more powerful. The change will no doubt continue.
In the future, computers can get small enough to “disappear”. That is(to say), they can become so small that we will wear them or even have them inside our body. No longer will they be things in houses, but instead something that we can bring with us wherever we go. The way we use computers will also change. Instead of sitting down in front of a keyboard to type in words and click the mouse, we will be able to tell the computer what to do by speaking to it. Or they can even do anything we ask them to do by reading our thoughts.
In a word, computers in the future will be “smarter and smarter”.

Ⅱ. 阅读表达（共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分）
In 1936, The Olympic Games were being held in Berlin because Adolf Hitler childishly insisted that his performance were members of a “master piece”.
I wasn’t too worried about this. I’m trained , sweated myself for 6 years, with the Games in mind. On my way there all I could think about was taking home one or two of those two medals. I had my eyes especially on the running broad jump. A year before, as a sophomore, I’d set the world’s record of 26 feet 8. 25 inches. Nearly everyone expected me to win this event.
However, to my surprise, when the time came for the broad-jump trials, a tall German named Luz Long hit the pit at almost 26 feet on his practice leaps! And Hitler hoped to win the jump with him. If Long win, it would add some new support to the Nazis’“master piece”theory. Angry about Hitler’s ways, I determined to go and really show Der Fuhrer and his “master race”who was superior and who wasn’t.
An angry athlete is an athlete who will make mistakes. I was no exception. On the first two of my three qualified jumps, I committed two fouls. “Did I come 3, 000 miles for this? ”I thought bitterly.
Walking from the pit, I kicked angrily at the dirt. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to
look into the friendly blue eyes of the tall German broad jumper, who had easily qualified for the finals on his first attempt. He offered me a firm handshake.
“Jesse Owens, I am Luz Long, and I don’t think we have met. ”He spoke English well, though with a German twist to it.
“Glad to meet you. ”I said. Then, trying to hide my nervousness, I added, “How are you?”
“I am fine. The question is：how are you? ”
“What do you mean?”I asked.
“Something must be eating you. ”He said, “You should be able to qualify with your eyes closed. ”
“Believe me, I know it. ”I told him—and I felt good to say that to someone.
