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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。amy interest in chinese food started years ago, when i 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 overpopulation 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 cooking, 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 oil. that way, the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel. the food prepared in this way kept its fresh flavor 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 us c. 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 forests b. it is necessary to find substitutes for wood c. why the chinese changed their way of cooking d. what problems a big population caused for china58. it can be inferred from the text that before the energy crisis chinese food _. a. didnt taste good at all b. didnt look so fresh as now c. was cooked in water instead of oil d. was cooked in rather large piecesb americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. people in the us 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 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 thing, like good jobs. they say that to be successful, they have to work like a dog. this means they have to work very hard. such hard work can make people dog-tired. and, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.some 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 old people dont like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.some other 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 dont want. but mean dogs are often used to guard the property, for they bark at 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 are also 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 dont want it to rain too hard. we dont 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 was killed by a drunk hit-and-run driver as she walked down a 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 lightner later wrote.the drunk driver received a two-year prison sentence. however, he avoided prison by serving time in a work camp, 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（立法）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 doing - i was drunk.”candy lightner appeared on major television shows, spoke before the us congress, made speeches to professional and business groups, and worked tirelessly for years to change public attitudes, change judicial（审判的）behavior, and promote tough new legislation. later, ms. lightnet left madd because the organization that she herself created is changing its focus. “i didnt start madd to deal with alcohol. i started it 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 the crimes caused by drinking d. warn people not to drink alcohol while driving64. which way didnt ms. lightnet 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 wasnt taken seriously before madd c. candy lightnet played a leading role in a film d. madd didnt get much support from society66. what can be the best title for this passage? a. ways to prevent drunk driving b. purposes of founding madd c. new law against drunk driving d. candy lightner and her madddthere 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 20,000 light years ago.because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, venusian scientists were able to get valuable information about the 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,” professor 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 sauce
