三．阅读理解（本题共15小题，每题2分; 共30分）
A
Do two kids make a perfect family? Share your views about this issue on our website.
Lucina
When you decide to have another child , you should plan your budget（预算）in advance. If you or your parents can’t take care of your baby, you have to at least spend an extra 5000 yuan per month to hire a babysitter. If you want to send your kids to study abroad, you have to save another 1 million yuan. I think most young Chinese couples cannot afford the expense.
Bcnu
Two is more than twice the work, there’s no guaranteeing（确保）they’ll share interests; they could very well fight or want to head off in completely different directions. If you find you love the second one more than the first, I don’t see how that could possibly make life simple, as children are very sensitive to that sort of thing. My advice is to take care of yourself and take time for your love for the first child to relax and grow before even thinking about having a second child.
Steven
I always thought having two kids sounded perfect. But when my daughter was born with life-threatening health problems I knew she would be my only kid. Raising our daughter was going to take a lot of emotional, physical, and financial resources. If I had any more childr en, I don’t think I could handle it.
William
Under the one-child policy carried out in China for three decades, many kids are spoilt by their parents. The “little emperors” have no idea of sharing and giving and many of them even become self-centered. If we have another child, the first one will learn something about responsibility, sharing and caring for others.
36.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Few families are ready for a second child in China.
B.It takes a lot of money to raise a second child.
C.Steven has never considered having a second child.
D.Many kids become selfish because of the one-child policy.
37.Of all the four persons, who is most likely to have a second child?
A.Lucina
B.Bcnu
C.Steven
D.William
38.Wha t does the underlined part “that sort of thing” most probably refer to ?
A.The two kids have different interests.
B.It makes life hard to have two kids.
C.Parents can’t treat the two kids equally.
D.The two kids fight with each other.
39.Which of the following statements about the four persons is true?
A.Lucina plans to send her kids to study abroad.
B.Bcnu thinks having a second child means more trouble.
C.Steven suffers from health problems.
D.William has a selfish child.
B
You know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10 years? Your car will change even more than that in the next 10 years.
One of the big changes is that cars will drive themselves. Some day you may not need to drive a car. You will just tell the car where you want to go and it will drive itself.
“We definitely have the technology for it now,” says Andrew Poliak of automotive technology supplier QNX. “We expect self-driving cars to be a mainstream thing between 2020 and 2025.”
The American company Google has been working on a self-driving automobile for years. These cars are already on the roads in the United States, mainly in California. Google cars are truly self-driving. These cars have no steering wheels（方向盘）or pedals（踏板）.
Last week, police ordered one of Google’s cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road. The car was not breaking any law, so no one was punished. But police did speak with the operators of the vehicle.
According to Google, its self-driving cars have been driven nearly 2 million kilometers. That is equal to the distance the average person drives in 90 years.
So far, no Google self-driving car has gotten a traffic ticket. Some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.
40.Why was the Google’s car stopped by police?
A.It ran too fast.
B. It broke the law.
C.It drove too slowly.
D. It had no driver.
41.What can we learn from the passage?
A.The car hasn’t changed a lot over the past 10 years.
B.Google has no self-driving car technology.
C.Self-driving cars are widely used in the U.S.
D.Google self-driving cars haven’t been fined so far.
42.What distance can a person drive in year on average?
A.About 22,000km
B.About 18,000km
C.About 45,000km.
D.About 11,000km.
C
For over a month, forest fires in Indonesia spread very quickly out of control as the country suffered its worst drought（干旱）in 50 years. Within days a cloud of some was hanging over neighbouring countries including Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.
When the smoke combined with pollution from factories and cars, it soon became poisonous（有毒的）. Dangerous amounts of CO became trapped under the smog and pollution levels rose. People coughed as they left the house and their eyes watered immediately.
The smog made it impossible to see across streets and whole cities disappeared as grey soot（烟灰）covered everything. In some areas, tap water was used from high-rise city buildings to try and break up the smog.
Finally, heavy rains, which came in November, put out the fires and cleared the air. But the environmental costs and health problems will remain. Breathing problems could well increase and many non-sufferers may have difficulties for the first time. Wildlife has suffered too. In low-land forests, elephants, deer, and tigers have been driven out of their homes by smog.
But smog is not just an Asian problem. In fact, the word was first used in London in 1905 to describe the mixture of smoke and thick fog. Sometimes the smog was so thick and poisonous that people were killed by breathing problems or in accidents. About 4,000 Londoners died within five days as a result of thick smog in 1952.
43.When did the forest fires most probably happen?
A. In July
B. In October
C. In November
D. In December
44.Which of the following is true about the forest fires?
A.The fires spread to Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.
B.The fires were put out by the firefighters and volunteers.
C.Many animals were left homeless because of the smog.
D.4,000 people were killed by the forest fires.
45. When can we learn from the passage?
A.Smog can lead to drought problem.
B.Smog can cause forest fires easily.
C.Smog has little effect on wildlife.
D.Smog is more than an Asian problem.
46.What is the similarity between the Indonesia smog and the London smog?
A.Both were caused by drought.
B.Both caused many deaths.
C.Both were poisonous.
D.Both spread in several countries.
D
Secret codes (密码)keep messages private.Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.
People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 47 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.
There are three main types of cryptography.You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell
it out. For example, the first let ters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”
48 You might represent each letter with a number, For example, Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, th e message “Meet me” would read “13 5 20 13 5.”
A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 49 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.”50 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.DFEA
A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.
B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.
C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.
D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.
E. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.
F. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.
