第三部分　阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分?40分?)

阅读下列短文，从每题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

Although more and more people are exercising regularly,experts note that eating right is also a key to good health.Nutritionists(营养学家) recommend the “food pyramid” for a simple guide to eating the proper foods.At the base of the food pyramids are grains and fiber.You should eat six to eleven servings(份) of bread,cereal,and rice every day.Next up to the pyramid are vegetables and fruit;five to nine daily servings from this group are recommended.The next pyramid level is the dairy group.Two or three servings a day of milk or cheese help maintain good nutrition.Moving up the pyramid,the next level is the meat,poultry,fish,beans and nuts group,of which everyone should eat only two or three servings a day.At the very top of the pyramid are fats,oils and sweets;these foods should be eaten only infrequently.

You don’t have to shop in health food stores to follow the guidelines.One easy way to plan menus that follow the food pyramid is to shop only in the outer aisles(走廊) of the grocery store.In most supermarkets,fresh fruit and vegetables,dairy,fresh meat and frozen foods are in the outer aisles of the store of the store.Grains,like rice,bread and cereal,are located on the next aisles,the first inner rows.Finally,the farthest inside of the store is where you will find chips and snacks,cookies and pastries,soda pop and drink mixes.These are the kinds of foods that nutritionists say everyone should eat rarely.If you stay in the outer aisles of the grocery store,you won’t be tempted to buy foods you shouldn’t eat,and you will find a wide variety of healthy foods to choose from.Another benefit of shopping this way is that grocery shopping takes less time.

It remained a question who had to be the pioneer life on a new island.In fact,few people knew it.Thousands of years ago,in the middle of an ?ocean?,miles from the nearest island,an undersea volcano broke out.The hot liquid rock piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider.In this way,an island rose up in the sea.

As time went on,hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break into pieces.Sea waves dashes against the rock.In this way,soil and sand came into being.

It is well known that nothing lived on the naked soil.And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds,spiders and other creatures there.Only plants could grow first.Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the minerals of the soil, water and air.While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food.A spider spun its web in vain,because there were no insects for its web to catch.Insects could not stay until there were plants for them to eat.So plants had to be the pioneer life on this new island.

Today,air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motorway.But still there is a danger that grows every year.Airliners get larger and larger.Some airplanes can carry over 300 passengers.And the air itself becomes more and more crowded.If one large airliner struck into another in midair,600 lives could be lost.

From the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands,every movement is watched on radar screens.Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn,when to climb,and when to come down.The air traffic controllers around a busy airport like London-Heathrow may deal with 2500 planes a day.Not all of them actually land at the airport.Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on their part could cause a terrible accident.

Recently such a disaster almost happened.Two large jets were flying towards the airport.One was carrying 69 passengers from Toronto,the other 176 passengers from Chicago.An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other.He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb.But he made a mistake.He ordered the wrong plane,the first plane turned towards it.Fifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second plane.They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second.The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool.This is an example of the danger that grows every year.

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

A.Traveling by air is as safe as by car.

B.Traveling by air is not as safe as by car.

C.Traveling by car is as dangerous as by air.

D.Traveling by car is more dangerous than by air.

答案:A

71.The danger of air crashes grows every year because ______.

B.a pilot does not always hear a controller’s order

C.a controller is likely to make more and more mistakes

解析:文章的第二段最后一句告诉我们，地面控制员的一点点小失误可能就会引起可怕的事故，第三段加以证明，因此选C。

答案:C

E

Most people feel lonely sometimes,but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours.This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.

The first kind of loneliness is temporary(暂时的).This is the most common type.It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention.The second kind,situational loneliness,is a natural result of a particular situation—for example,a family problem,the death of a loved one,of moving to a new place.Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems,such as headaches and sleeplessness,it usually does not last for more than a year.

The third kind of loneliness is the most severe.Unlike the second type,chronic(长期的) loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause.People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others.Unfortunately,many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.

Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, e.g., friends, family members,co-workers,etc.We depend on various people for different reasons.For instance,our families give us emotional support,our parents and teachers give us guidance,and our friends share similar interests and activities.However,psychologists have found that,though lonely people may have many social contacts,they sometimes feel they should have more.They question their own popularity.

Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons:they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease.While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal,healthy part of life,chronic loneliness can be a very sad,and sometimes dangerous,condition.

72.“It” in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to ______.

A.temporary loneliness

B.situational loneliness

C.a new place

D.sleeplessness

解析:从secondly开始讲的就是situational loneliness，故选B。

答案:B

73.The topic of the 4th paragraph is that ______.

A.one problem of loneliness is a person’s social contacts

B.we depend on various people for different reasons

C.lonely people don’t have many social problems

D.lonely people don’t have many friends

解析:该段的第一句就是主题句，下文围绕此句展开说明。

答案:A

74.Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?

A.Chronic loneliness can cause family problems.

B.Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness.

C.Chronic loneliness can not be overcome.

D.A,B,and C are all correct.

解析:推理判断题。文章最后一段说出了心理学家帮助他们的两个原因，第一个就是能够导致严重的疾病。

答案:B

75.What is the best title for the passage?

A.Three Kinds of Loneliness

B.Loneliness and Diseases

C.Loneliness and Social Contacts

D.Chronic Loneliness

解析:B、C、D三项都是文章某一段的中心，不够全面。文章恰恰就是讲述了三种孤独，所以A项能够概括整篇文章的内容。

答案:A

Almost no one has troubled to point at that women       76._____

cause less accidents than men do.In America,where        77._____

half the drivers are women,there have are five or six times       78._____

as many accidents caused by men like by women.We hear       79._____

hundred of suggestions for reducing the number of        80._____

road accidents,but men are not so willing to admit        81._____

that women are more carefully than men and that no one       82._____

seriously considers hiring more woman drivers.If more       83._____

women and fewer men hired to drive cars and trucks,         84._____

a number of deaths on the road would soon go down.         85._____

答案与解析:

76.at→out　从上下文来看，此处应该是“指出”的意思，故应该用point out。

77.less→fewer　less修饰不可数名词，accidents是复数。

78.去掉have　there不跟have搭配。

79.like→as　此处为as many as结构。

80.hundred→hundreds　hundreds of为固定?用法。?

81.√

82.carefully→careful　系动词后面应该用形?容词?。

83.woman→women　如果woman后面的名词是复数，woman也应该变为复数。

84.hired前加were　因为后面的情态动词用的是would，由此看来本句应该是虚拟语气，故前面的动词应该用were。

85.a→the　go down的主语应该是the number of deaths，而不是a number of deaths。

第二节　书面表达(满分25分)

根据下面所给的信息，写一篇120词左右的短文。

That’s all.Thank you.
