Moreover, driving cars will probably make people sit all the time without any exercise. It will do harm to their health. Riding bicycles is much better. It is not practical for China to popularize family cars in the near future, especially in our big cities.There are a number of reasons why private cars are becoming popular in China. To start with, many people have become wealthy. They can afford to buy their own cars. Besides, with their improved living conditions，many people think that they should have more comfortable means of travelling. They are no longer satisfied with bicycles or motorcycles. Finally, new bank systems allow people to buy cars with loans. Thus, more and more people have cars.However, private cars have caused some problems in China. One problem is traffic jams. With so many cars being used, the streets have become very crowded. The number of accidents has increased. Another problem is air pollution. People are starting to complain of the waste gas given off by cars. Fortunately, local governments have become aware of these problems and are trying their best to solve them.答案：15BBACA610CAACC1115ABBCB1620BCAAC第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。AA good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the text. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but for more than the reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it means also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的) value. For all these reasons，not two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the pages of that days paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need and without wasting time, demands skill and selfawareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.【语篇解读】本文是一篇论述性说明文，主要讲述了一份好报纸的标准。21A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following EXCEPT its _.Awide coverage Buniform styleCspeed in reporting news Dpopularity答案与解析：B细节理解题。通读全文可知，文章讲到了一份好报纸的标准：全面性、时效性、通俗性。B项未提及。22According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the same newspaper is that _.Apeople scan for the news they are interested inBdifferent people prefer different newspapersCpeople are rarely interested in the same kind of newsDpeople have different views about what a good newspaper is答案与解析：A细节理解题。由文章倒数第二句中“. not two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the pages of that days paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper.”可知。23It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers _.Aapply reading techniques skillfullyBjump from one newspaper to anotherCappreciate the variety of a newspaperDusually read a newspaper selectively答案与解析：D推理判断题。由文章倒数第二句可知人们读报是有目的性、有选择性的。24Which can be a suitable title for the passage?AHow to read newspaper?BWhere to find a good newspaper?CWhat is a good newspaper?DNewspaper.答案与解析：C主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了一份好报纸的标准，即C项。D项作为题目过大。BFewer Americans are reading newspapers and more Americans are instead getting their news online, but television remains the leading source of news in the country，according to a survey.Not surprisingly, younger people tend to get more of their news on the Internet，while older people use traditional media such as television and newspapers, the Pew Research Centers survey on the ways of getting news said. Pew said the results show an increasing change toward getting news online，but that there is now a fairly large group of betteroff people that use both traditional and online sources to get their news. The Pew researchers referred to these people as integrators (整合者), and said they accounted for 23 percent of those surveyed, spending the most time getting news on a typical day.“Like Net news consumers, integrators are highly educated. However，they are older.” the survey said.Pew found that the largest group of news consumers 46 percent of those surveyed watch television for their news at all times of the day. This group is the oldest，with an average age of 52, with 43 percent unemployed. They are unlikely to own a computer or go online for news.The group that relies most on the Internet for news is the youngest at a median age of 35. It is also the smallest group，at 13 percent of those surveyed. Fewer than half of them watch television news regularly.The survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. It surveyed 3,615 adults by telephone.25We can find this passage most probably _.Ain a textbook Bin a government reportCin an advertisement Don the Internet答案与解析：D推理判断题。本文是一篇关于人们获取新闻方式的调查，根据最后一段“The survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. It surveyed 3,615 adults by telephone.”可知有三千多个成人受到电话调查。此类调查结果最有可能出现在网络上，故选D项。26According to the passage, people who like getting news online are _.Ayounger BolderCpoorer Dricher答案与解析：A细节理解题。根据第二段“. younger people tend to get more of their news on the Internet.”可知，年轻人喜欢从网上获取新闻信息，故选A项。27According to the passage, Net consumers and integrators _.Aare mostly old peopleBhave been welleducatedCalso like reading newspapersDmust have their own computers答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据第三段“Like Net news consumers, integrators are highly educated. However, they are older.”可知，网络新闻消费者与整合者一样，有着高等学历，年龄却较大，答案为B项。文章中并未提到他们绝大部分都是老人，故排除干扰项A。28Whats the best title for this passage?AAdvice on how to choose which media to get news.BMany people get their daily news on the Internet.CTV remains top source of news even as online grows.DDifferences between the Internet and traditional media.答案与解析：C主旨大意题。本文是一项关于通过上网获取新闻及通过电视获取新闻的人数比例的调查。该调查显示尽管互联网发展迅速，电视仍然是人们最重要的消息来源，故选C项。CWhat do you usually do when a flying insect (昆虫) lands on your arm? Most likely you blow it away. But what if that bug were a ladybug (瓢虫)? Then chances are you would let it stay. What is it about ladybugs that we like?Farmers once thought ladybugs were a good luck sign. A ladybug in the field meant that the crops (庄稼) would be successful and the weather would be good. The farmers may have been exaggerating (夸大) about what a very small bug can do, but in fact ladybugs do help out with the crops. They eat harmful insects.Actually, it is not the adult ladybug that eats the other insects. Its the ladybug larvae (幼虫). Ladybugs lay their eggs on leaves that are covered with aphids or other insects. When the larvae come out of the eggs, they are very hungry and will eat mites, aphids, mealybugs, green flies, and other cropdestroyers.A single ladybug larva can eat over 1,000 aphids in one day. In the 1800s, ladybugs were brought all the way from Australia to California and set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects. The little red and black “eating machines” completely saved all the trees.Ladybugs go about their daily business without worrying much about anything. Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives off something that is dangerous to eat. Ladybugs also protect themselves by playing dead.They fall off leaves and remain very still until their enemy goes away.So next time you see a ladybug, think about what it may be up to. Maybe it is off to save an orange tree. Maybe its next move will be to fall off a leaf and play dead or stand_up_to a bird about 100 times its size. Maybe its letting you know that the weather will be good tomorrow. Who knows? Ladybugs are special that way.【读篇解读】本文是说明文。文章是对瓢虫的介绍。29What do we know about mites and aphids?AThey do harm to the crops.BThey eat more than they should.CThey are food for adult ladybugs.DThey are the enemy of ladybug larvae.答案与解析：A推理判断题。由第三段中的“mites, aphids, mealybugs, green flies, and other cropdestroyers”可知，这些都是对庄稼有害的虫子。30Why were ladybugs brought from Australia to California in the 1800s?ATo report the weather for farmers.BTo increase their number.CTo do research on them.DTo save orange trees.答案与解析：D细节理解题。由第四段中的“ladybugs. set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects”可知，十九世纪瓢虫被从澳大利亚带到加利福尼亚州是为了挽救被害虫侵害的橘子树。31What does the underlined part “stand up to” in the last paragraph probably mean?APlay with. BWorry about.CGet along with. DFight back against.答案与解析：D词义猜测题。由倒数第二段中的“Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives off something that is dangerous to eat.”可知，很少有鸟或昆虫吃瓢虫。再由画线部分后的“a bird about 100 times its size”可知，当遇见比它大的鸟时，瓢虫会释放某种物质从而对鸟造成威胁。故此处的stand up to有“回击、抵御”之意。DEach year, people are becoming more and more worried about the future of our planet. People are now starting to agree global warming will certainly make a difference to the worlds weather. While some parts of the world may have more floods (洪水), some other parts might have long periods of dry weather. All of this will have a serious influence on the worlds agriculture (农业). And that could make it difficult for us to get enough food to survive. This explains the idea behind the Svalbard Global Seed Vault (种子库). The Seed Vault is built into a mountain on an island near the North Pole. The purpose is to protect the worlds agriculture from future disasters (灾难). This may not just be a question of global warming. Perhaps there will be a major nuclear disaster or war one day. These things wont be a problem for Svalbard. Some experts think that the population of the earth will probably go up by 50% in the next 40 years. Because of climate change, it probably wont be easy for some plants to survive. Having many different types of plants will be necessary for agriculture to adapt to (适应) changes in the environment. In the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, there is space for 4.5 million types of seed. At the moment there are over 770,000 different types there.Any country in the world can leave seeds in Svalbard without paying. The seeds of some plants, such as peas, only survive for 20 to 30 years. But others will last for hundreds of years.In 2028, the Svalbard Vault will celebrate its 20th birthday. 200 years in the future, its possible that the ice caps will disappear. Even if this happens, Svalbard will be safe. Thats because it is on a mountain and will be above me sea level. And because it is so close to the North Pole, even if their electricity stops working, the ice will keep a cool temperature of 3.5 to keep the seeds in good condition. But the best protection is the fact that it is in such a fara
