第三部分　阅读理解 (共 20 小题;每小题 2 分，满分 40 分)

A

Where is it possible to drive from Rome to Moscow, Madrid, Paris, Vienna, and Stockholm without going to Europe? The answer is in the state of Maine!

Throughout the United States there are many towns and cities that have been named after not only European cities but other countries as well, such as China, Poland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Just how many New World place names are recycled from the Old World names has never been tallied, but one researcher found forty-one Londons, fifty-six Berlins, twenty-four Dublins, thirty-two Athenses, and twenty-seven Moscows, among others!

Reasons for European place names differ. Some were in memory of settlers’ former homes, others in honor of historic events. Founded in 1818 by John Coffee, Robert Beaty, John D. Carroll, and John Read, Athens is one of the oldest incorporated cities in the State of Alabama. The town was first called Athenson, and the name was then shortened to Athens, after the ancient city in Greece. More interestingly, some names were given by mistake. For instance, the people of Moscow, Kansas, wanted to their city to follow the name of the explorer Moscoso. They shortened his name to Mosco, and an official in Washington, thinking the Kansans couldn't spell, added a ‘W’.

56. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The state of Maine has many cities named after European cities.

B. You can drive to many European cities from the state of Maine.

The Tokyo

Metro and

Toei Lines Features: The Tokyo Metro and Toei lines that compose Tokyo’s massive subway system

carryalmost 8 million people each day, making it the busiest system in the world. The

system is famousfor its oshiya--- literally, “pusher”-who shove passengers into crowded subway cars so the doors

can close. And you think your commute is hell.

The Moscow

Metro

Features: The Moscow Metro has some of the most beautiful stations in the world. The best

of them were built during the Stalinist era and feature chandeliers(枝形吊灯), marble moldings and elaborate

murals(精美的壁画). With more than 7 million riders a day, keeping all that marble

clean has got to be

a burden.

The Hong

Kong Metro

Features: The Hong Kong MTR has the distinction of being one of the few subway

systems in the world

that actually turns a profit. It’s privately owned and uses real estate development

along its tracks to increase

income and ridership.

electronically, but buy stuff

at convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants and even parking meters.

It’s estimated that 95 % of all

adults in Hong Kong own an Octopus card .

become the country’s largest in the 12 years since it opened. Shanghai Metro has

142 miles of track

“L”. The system carries

about 2.18 million people a day.

The London

Metro Features: Londoners call their subway the Underground, even though 55 percent

of it lies above ground.

No matter when you’ve got the oldest mass-transit system in the world, you can call it anything you like. Trains started in1863

remembering to

“Mind the gap”.

(London)—If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.

Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.

“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.

According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.

Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.

According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.

Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.

The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.

64. What is this piece of news mainly about?

A. Thin people also have troubles.

B. Internal fat is of no importance.

C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.

D. Thin people may be fat inside.

65.Doctors have found _____.

A. being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside

B. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetes

C. being slim is not dangerous at all

D. the exact dangers of internal fat

66.According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?

A. People with heart disease all have internal fat.

B. People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.

C. Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.

D. Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.

D

71 People travelled in search of food and shelter or in order to flee from their enemies. Sometimes they were looking for gold or silver in order to become rich. On other occasions they were searching for rich farmland.

This is not to say that no one ever traveled just for fun. Even in ancient times, some pleasure travel occurred. During a typical season, 700,000 tourists would crowd into the ancient city of Rome, where animals performed and magicians entertained them 72

73 International tourist arrivals alone reached as many as 546 million in 1994 and are forecast to rise to 937 million in 2010, according to the world Trade Organization.

Actually, I didn’t have to walk far before I found the small house standing in a field with a light shone from the sitting room.
