reliable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，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（a、b、c、和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ain the past hundred years a million people have died in earthquakes, another million have been killed by hurricanes and tornadoes (龙卷风) and 9 million have lost their lives in floods. in addition to this, many millions more have died as a result of hunger and disease. we should also not forget that in many of the worlds countries drought or serious water shortage, is a fact of life, especially in the african sahel area bordering the sahara desert.scientists and engineers around the world have made great advances in earthquake engineering. it is, of course, physically impossible to move cities such as tokyo and san francisco that have been built on earthquake belts. but most often it is not the earthquake that kills people. it is the falling buildings, bridges and so on that cause deaths, and such a happening can be greatly reduced by better building programs.finally, perhaps we need to consider the natural disaster that we are causing ourselves. through our mismanagement of planets resources we have sped up the dying out of hundreds of sorts of plants and animals, at the same time possibly destroying our own long-term surroundings for life. maybe this is one disaster that could be prevented if we are willing to act with a sense of responsibility.51. _ people have been killed in natural disasters in the past 100 years.a. more than 11 million b. 11 millionc. 10 million d. more than 10 million52. which of the following hasnt killed people?a. earthquakes and floods.b. hurricanes and tornadoes.c. droughts and water shortages.d. none of the above.53. according to the text, we can say that _.a. earthquakes can be prevented from happening.b. cities built on earthquake belts can be moved in time.c. losses and deaths caused by earthquakes can be reduced with human efforts.d. nothing can be done with earthquakes.54. what does the underlined words “one disaster” in the last paragraph refer to ?a. earthquakes.b. mans mismanagement of natural resources.c. the text doesnt tell us.d. all of the disasters mentioned.bmen are happier with money, while women find greater joy in friendships and relationships with their children, co-workers and bosses, a new global survey indicates.the online survey of 28,153 people in more than 51 countries by global marketing and information firm nielsen found that as the world struggles with a recession (衰退) and financial markets remain declined, many people are reminding themselves that money cant buy happiness.the nielsen happiness study found that globally, women are happier than men in 48 of the 51 countries surveyed in august 2009, and only in brazil, south africa and vietnam were men found to be happier than women.“because they are happier with noneconomic factors, womens happiness is more recession proof which might explain why women around the world are happier in general than men are,” nielsen vice president of consumer research bruce paul said in a statement.japanese women reported the greatest difference and are 15 percent happier than japanese men. women are also more optimistic about the future, scoring higher than men on predictions of their happiness in the next six months.women were also more content with their marriage life, the study found. japanese and new zealand women reported the greatest difference in satisfaction with their marriage life.men are generally happier with their physical health than women, and this is especially pronounced in south africa. egypt bucks the trend, with women rating their happiness with their health considerably higher than men.globally, men rated their happiness with their mental health higher than women. it was the same in belgium, south korea, mexico, norway, spain, sweden, egypt and israel.there are three main drivers of happiness globally, according to the study: personal financial situation, mental health and job/career. being satisfied with your partner is also important for happiness.55. the passage mainly centers around _.a. key drivers leading to happinessb. a study on happiness between sexesc. a medical survey on men and womend. comparisons between men and women56. compared with women, men tend to be happier with _.a. money, friendship and their familyb. financial situation, health and marriage lifec. the future, mental health and moneyd. mental health, physical health and money57. the underlined sentence in paragraph 7 means “_”.a. it is the same with egyptb. egypt is just the oppositec. egypt is following the trendd. the trend will continue with egypt58. according to the passage, which of the following statement is not right?a. globally, women are happier than men in general.b. women in vietnam are not as happy as men.c. men score higher than women on predictions of their future.d. womens happiness is less likely affected by financial crisis.cnowadays the problem of the generation gap is becoming more and more serious. poor relationships between parents and their children are very common.whether we like it or not, our parents are responsible for us at least until were out of high school. so rather than get upset about that fact, maybe we should focus on some ways to make our relationship better. the best way, in my opinion, is to learn to really communication with our parents. so here is my three- step program to make it easier to communicate with my parents.when i find myself arguing with my mom or dad, i try to stop. if i can manage to stop myself from talking, i usually find that i can calm down quickly. i guess im usually acting out of emotion rather than logic(逻辑). but if i can stop arguing for a minute, it seems that my opinion changes and i start to realize that im a bit childish. emotionally i may still be upset, but logically i understand that yelling and fighting surely wont make things better!once ive stopped arguing, i look my parents in the eye. youd be amazed at how much easier it is to communicate with your parents when youre actually looking at them. looking away doesnt do much of anything except for giving them the impression that im not listening or that i dont care. its much easier to see things eye to eye when youre physically seeing eye to eye.finally, i listen to what theyre saying(or at least i try). communication cant happen unless both sides hear and listen to each other. there is nothing wrong with my hearing, but that doesnt mean i always listen to the sounds that people are making. when i argue with my parents, i can physically hear what theyre saying without mentally listening to it.whether i admit it or not, my parents experience can actually help them give me some pretty sound advice at times. i dont always agree with them, but i think its safe to say that it has truly helped our relationship in the long run.59. the author thinks we should first _ when arguing with our parents.a. talk in a low voice b. stop arguingc. fight for the truth d. look at their eyes60. parents and children can communicate only when_.a. both sides can listen to each otherb. both sides start thinking what to say nextc. both sides stop yelling and fightingd. both sides agree with each other61. what can we learn from the passage?a. parents are sometimes easy to get upsetb. listening is better than yelling and fightingc. it is impolite to see your parents eye to eyed. be careful when you take your parents advice62. which of the following advice is not mentioned in the passage?a. stopping arguing b. lookingc. smiling warmly d. listeningdhearst castle (城堡) in san simeon, california, is now one of the most famous buildings in the world. the great castle has 58 bedrooms, 61 bathrooms, a theater, and a zoo! it was designed by a female architect(女建筑师) named julia morgan, who worked on it for more than 20 years. hearst castle is her most famous work, but she also built more than 800 other buildings. her great talent and success helped other women to become architects.julia morgan was born in 1872 in san francisco, california. after finishing high school, morgan went to the university of california at berkeley. in 1894, she became the first woman to graduate from the university with a degree in civil engineering(土木工程). two years later, morgan left for paris to further her study. in 1902, she graduated from the eole des beaux arts, the most famous art school in the world at that time.morgan returned to california and became the first woman to receive an architects license. in 1904, she opened her own architectural office. soon morgan had a lot of work and needed to hire assistants to help her. she tried to hire women whenever possible. she also gave money to several schools to help female architecture students.in 1919, a very rich american named william randolph hearst hire morgan to design a castle. he wrote morgan hundreds of letters full of instructions, and he often changed his mind. sometimes he told her to build something, then he told her to take it down and rebuild it in another place. but morgan paid careful attention to hearsts requests and wasnt afraid of hard work. she would climb ladders to check the work herself. from 1919 until 1947, she traveled 200 miles from san francisco to san simeon three weekends a month.in 1946, morgan closed her office and traveled for the rest of her life. she died in 1957. her buildings still influence architects today.63. according to the passage, hearst castle _.a. is in san francisco, californiab. has over a hundred roomsc.
