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)

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，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。

A

As the population of the planet increases, so does the number of homes, businesses, parking lots, schools, airports and roadways. All these structures require electricity to be lighted. Humans demand these lights. They want their homes more comfortable and streets safe. The problem is that researchers have found that all this light has a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well, so please take care.

Less than 10 years ago I drove to a less populated section of my town , lay down in the middle of the road and watched an attractive meteor shower(流星雨). The area was short of buildings and street lights. If I did that today, I wouldn’t be able to see the meteor shower, but I would be surely run over by a car.

Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as CO2 Pollution. If you have ever taken a flight at night, you must remember the view of colored lights all around--it’s beautiful but wasteful. How extensive this phenomenon is around the world!

Additionally, electricity needs to be created, and the process of creating that electricity will cause pollution by giving off greenhouse gases. This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.

Apart from humans, it has been proved that wildlife is also suffering from light pollution. Thousands of birds die each year when they crash into highly lit buildings, as they are confused which direction they should go in by the light. It has been long known that tiny sea turtles become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.

Fortunately, light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative effect. We should not only pay more attention to light pollution, but also reduce light pollution by avoiding using unnecessary lighting.

56. The story given in Paragraph 2 is to ________.

A. describe the past beauty of the town

B. show the advantage of a smaller population

C. analyze the changes of lights in town

D. prove the disadvantage of light pollution

57. The birds and tiny sea turtles die or get lost, because ________.

A. they are unable to see clearly at night

B. their eyes are destroyed by right light

C. electric lights prevent them from heading

D. the light created by people misleads them

58. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. The Causes of Lights B. Take care of Light pollution

C. Ways of Reducing Light Pollution D. The New Finding on Light

TAIBEI - Increasing numbers of Taiwanese students are joining the island’s “China rush”, seeking education on the Chinese mainland.

According to official Chinese figures, the number of Taiwanese students admitted into college and postgraduate(研究生)programs on the mainland totaled 1461 in 2006, 1928 in 2007 and 1839 in 2008. Although no latest official numbers were available, Netbig. Com said this number had risen between 30 to 50 percent annually in the past two years with over 2000 entering mainland campuses last year.

The Internet site, based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, provides education service and information on Chinese mainland college and universities. “Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more knowledge about the people and culture in the mainland will increase their chances in the Chinese job market”, Nethig. Com vice - president Ingrid Huang said. “I believe it will give me hands - on experience in the business field on the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of the Chinese mainland people,” said Lydia Chang, a 19 - year - old student majoring in journalism at Shih Shin University. Chang plans to go on to get a master’s degree in business administration in Shanghai, which she says offers the best environment for such studies.

A journalism graduate student, surnamed Lin, at the National Taiwan University said he would like to study law on the Chinese mainland since “there will be better career prospects now that more Taiwanese companies are going there”. “They hope the children could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations,” said Yang Ching - yao, professor of the Chinese mainland studies. A Netbig. Com survey showed the campuses favored by Taiwan students included Beijing, Qinghua and Renmin universities in Beijing, and Jinan and Zhongshan universities in Guangzhou. The most popular studies were law, business and Chinese medicine.

At present, Chinese Taibei doesn’t recognize diplomas earned on the Chinese mainland nor help with any inquiries about studying there. But recognizing the trend, education authorities are giving a final form to a policy accepting certificates from selected universities.

63. Why do more Taiwanese students study on the Chinese mainland ?

If cars had wings, they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2011. The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car - plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2011.

“It’s the next ‘wow’ vehicle, ”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”

The car plane has wings that unfold for flying--a process the company says takes one minute--and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.

The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.

The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport--you park it in the garage at home.

The car - plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界) conditions.

The Transition’s price tag: $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, transponder or GPS. Another option is a full - plane parachute.

“If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option,” Gersh said.

So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps, ”Brown said.

67. From the first paragraph we can learn that ________.

A. car - planes will be produced in large amount in 2011

B. Richard Gersh is the president of Terrafugia

C. both Transition and Ferrari can fly and land safely

D. possibly people will drive a car - plane in 2011

68. It takes the car - plane one minute to ________.

A. fold and unfold its wings B. fold back up for driving

C. unfold wings for flying D. land in the airport

69. According to the passage, which of the following is Wrong?

A. The car - plane requires a runway to take off and land.

B. The car - plane may fly higher than normal planes.

C. People can park the car - plane in the garage at their home.

D. the company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations.

70. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Cars With Wings Can Fly as Fast as Planes.

B. Which to Choose: A Ferrari or a Car Plane?

C. A more Convenient and Cheaper Way to Fly.

D. Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The Corner.

第二节：(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. 71 The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. 72

However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap and they should teach them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.

73 Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. __74 It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well – cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self - confidence.

Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. 75

A. But is it correct?

B. And that is more important.

C. Cooking demands patience and time.

D. They also require their children to take a lot of tests.

E. They also want their children to take extra - course activities.

F. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.

G. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.

I just come back from Britain last week. I was luckily enough to be one of the students from different country to visit the UK from Feb. 16 to 28. We visited to many places, like London, Oxford or the Lake District. I learned much about British culture and history in London, where was my favorite. I also liked Oxford, where I saw much more old buildings. The Lake District was beautiful, but it was pity that it rained heavily when they were there.
