Fstill第三部分 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）A My interest in Chinese food started years ago, when l was a young reporter for the Washington Post. Our office wasnt far from Chinatown, where I found some very good Chinese restaurants The first time I ever ate Chinese food I loved it. I noticed the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why it has this special feature. Many years ago, China had an energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor management of its forests. This loss was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get，so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their valuable wood，or learn how to use it better. There werent any substitutes so people found ways to economize. In order to economize in cookin9, they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the hot oilThat way，the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel. The food prepared in this way kept its fresh flavor一and its this flavor that attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.56.This text is mainly about_.A. what caused Chinese food to taste fresh B. how Chinese food is cooked in the USC. when the author started to make Chinese food D. why most foreigners like cooking Chinese food57.The author mentioned the energy crisis to show_.A. it is important to protect the forestsB. it is necessary to find substitutes for woodC. why the Chinese changed their way of cookingD. what problems a big population is causing China today58. It can be inferred from the text that before the energy crisis Chinese food_.A. was cooked in rather large pieces B. was cooked in water but not oilC. didnt taste good D. didnt look freshB Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dogs life, describes a person who has an unhappy life. Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog. Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things. Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways. People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. But mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite. Dog expressions also are used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.59. A person who lives an unhappy life can be described as “_”. A. becoming sick as a dog B. leading a dogs life C. living in a dog-eat-dog world D. Working like a dog60. The underlined word “mean” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “_”. A. violent B. selfish C. wild D. Poor61. What can we learn from the text? A. Everyone can be successful if he learns from the old. B. It might be difficult for the young to learn new skills. C. Junkyard dogs are careful in money arrangement. D. Fierce persons arent so awful as their appearance sometimes.62. To support his idea, the author develops the text mainly by _. A. listing reasons B. using idioms C. giving examples D. Making comparisonsCIn 1980，Candy Lightners 13-year-old daughter Cad was killed by a drunk driver as she walked down a suburban street in California. “I promised myself on the day of my daughters death that I would fight to make this needless accident count for something positive in the years ahead,” Candy Lightener later wrote. The drunk driver received a two-year prison sentence. However, he avoided prison by serving time in a work camp and a halfway house. Ms. Lightner was very angry about that and so organized Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD), which later changed to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. The aim of her organization was to raise public awareness of the serious nature of drunk driving and to promote tough legislation against the crime. Before Ms. Lightners MADD, intoxication (醉酒), including drunk driving, was not taken seriously. Intoxication was often used as an excuse for otherwise unacceptable behavior: “I didnt know what I was doingI was drunk.” Candy Lightner appeared on major television shows, spoke before the US Congress, addressed professional and business, groups, and worked tirelessly for years to change public attitudes, change judicial(审判的) behaviour, and promote tough new legislation. Ms. Lightner left MADD because the organization that she herself created is changing its focus. “I didnt start MADD to deal with alcohol. I started MADD to deal with the issue of drunk driving.” The President of the United States awarded her the Presidents Volunteer Action Award and she was the subject of the movie “Mothers Against Drunk Drivers: the Candy Lightner Story”.63. One of the purposes of MADD was to_ . A. make the public aware of the danger of drunk driving B. fight against the drunk hit-and-run drivers on the road C. make new laws against crimes caused by drinking D. warn people not to drink alcohol while driving64. which way didnt Ms. Lightner use to achieve her MADDs goals? A. Talking on major TV shows. B. Giving a talk to businessmen. C. Applying for a job with the government. D. Giving suggestions to the US Congress.65. We can learn from the passage that_. A. the drunk driver had not been caught B. drunk driving didnt receive enough attention before MADD C. Candy Lightner played a leading role in a film D. MADD didnt get much support from society66. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Ways to prevent drunk driving B. Purposes of founding MADD C. New law against drunk driving D. Candy Lightner and her MADDD There was great excitement on the planet of Venus (金星) . Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since. The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan, named after the great Venusian astronomer Professor. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20000 light years ago. Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to feasibility (可行性) of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology. We have come to the conclusion, based on last weeks satellite landing, Prof. Zog said, that there is no life on Earth. How do you know this? the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked. For one thing, Earths surface in the area of Manhattan is made up of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive. What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned? We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means a much heavier flying saucer than originally planned. Are there any other dangers that you discovered in your studies? Take a look at this photo. You see this dark black cloud hovering (盘旋) over the surface of Earth? We dont know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have further tests before we send a Venus Being there. Over here you will notice what seems to be a river, but the satellite findings indicates it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink. This means we shall have to carry our own water, which will add even greater weight to the saucer. If all you say is true, wont this set back the flying saucer program several years? Yes, but we shall continue as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds(资金). Profession. Zog replied.67. According to the passage, the Venusian scientists succeeded in getting important information about _. A. the feasibility of landing a satellite on Earth B. the possibility of making a first-rate flying saucer C. the feasibility of sending a Venus Being to Earth D. the possibility of directing a flying saucer into Manhattan68. Why will the Venusian have to take their own oxygen with them when they carry out their flying saucer program because _. A. they need it in their way to the planet of Earth B. the Earths atmosphere is filled with deadly gases C. there is a low level of oxygen for Venusians D. there is no air on the planet of Earth69. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. landing a manned flying saucer on Earth will be carried out soonB. Venusians will land on Earth to help to stop serious pollutionC. its unnecessary to land a manned flying saucer on Earth at presentD. pollution on Earth makes it impossible for Venusians to survive there70. Where can you probably read such a passage?.A. In a popular magazine. B. In a fairy tale. C. In an observation journal D. In science fiction第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Are you a saver or a spender? _71_ This old saying calls attention to the wisdom of saving money. Putting money away for a rainy day is another way to talk about saving for the future. People who hate to spend money are known as tightwads, while those who like to get the most value for their money are called thrifty. _72_A spendthrift is someone who spends wastefully. People like that are often said to spend money like a drunken sailor or like theres no tomorrow. In the United States, people who want to start a savings account have different choices of where to put their money. _73_ Credit unions are cooperatives for people who have some kind of connection. For example, the members might work for a university or a government agency. Most credit unions are nonprofit organizations.Credit unions, banks and other financial institutions pay interest on savings accounts. But the interest rates are low. Certificates of deposit（存款）pay higher returns. With a certificate of deposit, or CD, a person agrees not to withdraw the money for a certain period of time. This term could be anywhere from a few months to several years. _74_ People can withdraw their money early but they have to pay a penalty(罚金). In a number of countries, people have been saving less over the years.
