第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分）

A

U.S.— A South African man could face up to 25 years in prison for joking that he was carrying a bomb on an airline, police said Friday.

The 40-year-old man was arrested at Johannesburg airport on Thursday after he told an airhostess on nationwide airliner after take-off from Durban that he had a bomb in his bag.

“We don’t take this sort of thing lightly. He could face a jail term of between five and twenty-five years without the option (选择) of a fine.”

Security precautions (安全措施) were taken against the man — a resident from the wealthy (富有) Johannesburg suburb of Sandown — on the flight.

Airline people didn’t find any explosives or weapons in his bags. “Security measures at airport and on plane have been intensified（加强） immediately after the recent horrific and tragic terror（恐怖）attacks in America,” a police statement

said.

Thousands of people are believed to have died after the hijacked (劫机) airliners flew into the twin towers of New York’s World Trade Center in the worst terror attack in U.S. history.

66. The man was arrested because he _______.

A. went aboard the plane with a bomb in his bag

B. security measures at airport and plane have been intensified. C. was joking at the airport.

D. said on the plane that he was carrying a bomb in his bag. 67. The man may _______.

A. serve as many as 25 years in prison

B. get away after paying a large sum of money. C. get locked up in his wealthy home in Sandown. D. be ordered to give up his weapons to the police.

68. Security measures have been strengthened at airports in the States to counterattack

(反击) ______.

A. air crashes B. smuggling C. terror attacks D. shoplifting 69. This news article is mainly about ________.

A. a terror attack in America B. a high cost for a joke C. the bad luck of a rich man

D. the security measures at an airport in America.

B

The gray-haired lady can’t wait to leave the building to search for her dad. Unless watched, she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father, who died 30 years ago.

Not all cases of Alzheimer’s disease look like this, but Alzheimer’s is a serious disease that is said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75. It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimer’s. In the early stages; people may exhibit short-term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality, easy to be angry. As the disease progresses, patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.

While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain’s nerve fibers （神经纤维）, their effect is certain. Alzheimer’s destroys not only the patients, but also spouses（配偶）, friends and families.

What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Though many reasons other than Alzheimer’s disease may cause memory loss, its early diagnosis（诊断）and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects.

What feeling will you likely experience if a loved one suffers from Alzheimer’s disease? A person will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn’t remember you are married.

Life for the Alzheimer’s patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses, bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger towards God. No matter what feelings are present, facing them honestly will serve one better than burying them. 70. What can be inferred from the passage about the gray-haired day?

A. She has been living with her father.

B. She was sad about the death of her father.

C. She can’t search for her father without being watched. D. She suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.

71. When people suffer from Alzheimer’s disease, ________.

A. their families and friends will suffer from the same disease B. their families and friends will experience mental sufferings C. they will certainly die in 8 to 10 years D. they will forget everybody but their spouses 72. Memory loss occurs ________.

A. from Alzheimer’s disease and nothing else B. from sadness, shock, anger, and so on C. for a number of reasons D. with changes in personality

73. From the passage we know that .

A. early treatment may stop Alzheimer’s disease occurring

B. it is still unknown what causes the changes in the brain’s nerve fibers C. nerve fibers in the brain will cause Alzheimer’s disease D. when one suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, he will be buried

C

He was the baby with no name. Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him “our baby.” In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby's grave (墓), carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since.

But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula,42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children -- including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. \"We thought they were all lost in the sea,\" says Schleifer. Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby's grave, scientists have compared the DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees no need for a new grave. \"He belongs to the people of Halifax,\" says Schleifer, \"They've taken care of him for 90 years.\"

Adapted from People, November 25, 2002 74. The baby traveled on the Titanic with his __________. A. mother B. parents C. aunt D. relatives 75. What is probably the boy's last name? A. Schleiferi. B. Eino. C. Magda. D. Panula.

76. Some members of the family went to Halifax and put flowers at the child's grave on

Nov. 5, __________. A. 1912 B.1954 C. 2002 D. 2004 77. This text is mainly about how _________.

A. the unknown baby’s body was taken from the north Atlantic

B. the unknown baby was buried in Halifax, Nova Sotia C. people found out who the unknown baby was

D. people took care of the unknown baby for 90 years

D

When the population of the port town began to suffer from poisoning（中毒）, the police came to find the cause of the poison. They thought someone was poisoning the people on purpose but no one knew how it was possible. Soon people took the position that the pork was poisoned. It was a popular food everyone ate and it could have possibly made everyone sick. Anyone who had possession of pork would throw it out. Even the poorest of the poor wouldn’t eat pork. Signs were posted on poles and letters were sent to everyone to warn people of the pork. Shortly afterwards, even policemen in high positions were also getting sick.

Soon it became political and popular. Politicians（政客） rushed to the town to talk about politics and promised how they would find the solution if they were elected. Everyone was so sick that they didn’t care about politics. Everyone was in a position where he or she didn’t know what to do anymore. They went to the post office to mail posts out asking for help. The poor town didn’t know how to deal with the situation.

One day, a well-known scientist from New York came to the town with a huge box containing many instruments and his possessions. He went to pools and the port and made measurements. He was quiet and polite. Then one day he made a speech at a newspaper meeting-room to announce his findings.

“I’m sorry to say your water supply is so heavily polluted; it is poisoned. I know who has been poisoning you all for such a long time. It is you who have been poisoning yourselves with pollution. A great deal of rubbish has been thrown into the water day after day. No one here has taken good care of the environment. It is no wonder all of you have been sick.” Shocked at the news, the people present were lost in thought. 78. Which is the correct order of the events that took place in the story?

a. People suffered from poisoning b. Politicians came to make promises

c. People began to realize the real cause d. Pork was thrown away

e. The water there was polluted

f. A scientist came to check the water

A. e, a, d, b, f, c B. e, a, d, c, f, b C. a, e, b, d, f, c D. f, c, d, b, e, a

79. What does the underlined phrase “ took the position” mean in the passage?

A. took the job B. took the place C. held the opinion D. made the suggestion 80. Which of the following statements is correct?

A. Everyone was so sick of politics that they didn’t care about those politicians. B. According to the scientist from New York, not all the population in the town have taken good care of the environment.

C. The reason why the people in the town got sick was that they ate the pork poisoned by heavily polluted water.

D. If the people in the town hadn’t polluted the water supply, they would not have suffered from poisoning or sickness.

81. After reading the passage, we can infer that ______.

A. politicians took every chance to make themselves elected B. pork was the main food of the people in the town C. people in the town were not well-educated D. even some police officers were getting ill

E

A young man applied for a job as a farmhand. When the farmer asked for his qualifications(资历), he said, “I can sleep when the wind blows.” This puzzled the farmer. But he liked the young man, and hired him.

A few days later, the farmer and his wife were awakened in the night by a violent storm. They quickly began to check things to see if all was safe from damage. They found that the doors of the farmhouse had been safely fastened, and a lot of wood had been set next to the fireplace.

The young man slept soundly.

The farmer and his wife then looked at their property (财产) carefully. They found that the farm tools had been placed in the storage room, safe from the bad weather. The tractor had been moved into the garage. The barn was properly locked. Even the animals were calm. All was well.

The farmer then understood the meaning of the young man’s words, “ I can sleep when the wind blows.”

The farmhand did his work loyally. When the sky was clear, he had prepared for the storm in case it broke. So when the wind blew, there was no need for him to be afraid. He could sleep in peace.

第三部分 信息匹配：阅读下面五段文字，从A-F六个标题中为每段文字选择一个最佳标题，其中有一个标题是多余的。（共5小题，每题2分；答案写在答题纸上） A. B. C. D. E. F. The coloured part of the eye is called the iris. There are three basic eye colours---brown, blue and green. A few albino people have red or pink eyes, but these are very rare. Many people believe that blue eyes are more delicate than brown eyes. In fact they are just as tough as brown eyes, although they are more sensitive to light. 2. We only see part of the eyeball, although the whole eye is as big as a table tennis ball. Light enters the eye through the pupil (瞳孔) and passes through the lens. The lens focuses the light onto the retina at the back of the eye. The retina sends the signal to the brain along the opic nerve. The image on the retina is actually upside-down, but the brain corrects it. As we get older our eyesight becomes worse. This happens because the lens isn’t as flexible as when we are young and the eye muscles are weaker. 3. Our eyes are the most important of our five senses. We receive 80% of our information about the world through our eyes. We also send signals to other people with our eyes. Some eye signals are unconscious. When we look at something nice, our pupils get bigger. But when we don’t like something, they become smaller. We cry when we are unhappy and sometimes when we are very happy. But we can also control some eye signals. For example, we can wink at someone or raise an eyebrow. Sunglasses make someone appear mysterious or dangerous, because they hide that eyes and so we can’t see the signals. 4.

Ways to beautify eyes Proper use of eye contact Techniques of eye contact Colours of people’s eyes Functions of different parts of the eye Variety of messages conveyed through eyes 1.

We find large eyes more attractive. Children have large eyes in proportion to their heads. Cartoon characters always have large eyes, too. We can’t actually change our eyes, but we can make them look bigger with make-up. Eye make-up isn’t new. Pictures in the Pyramids show that the ancient Egyptians, both men and women used it. False eyelashes can make eyelashes longer. Eyes shadow on the eyelids can make the eyes look bigger and more dramatic. Glasses can also make eyes look bigger. 5. We do not normally look into someone’s eyes for long, especially when they are very close. Eye contact can be very threatening, so people only do it when they want to threaten someone. It is also very intimate. This is why lovers gaze into each other’s eyes. It’s also why people don’t look at each other in lifts.
