第三部分 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案。

A

People often say, “The hand that rocks the cradle（摇篮）rules the world.” and “Behind every successful man there is a woman.” Both these sayings mean the same thing. Men rule the world, but their wives rule them.

Most American women like making their husbands and sons

successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want good jobs, and when they work they want to be paid. They also want to be as successful as men.

The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who didn’t want to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men and have the same chances for success. They didn’t want to be told that certain jobs or offices were closed to them. They refused to work side by side with men who did the same work for a higher pay.

A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence in herself. If somebody says to her, “You have come a long way, baby.” She will smile and answer, “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go, baby.” This movement is quite new, and many American women don’t agree with it. But it has already made some important changes in women’s lives and in men’s lives, too.

41. From the first paragraph, we can learn that ________.

A. American women usually take care of their children by themselves

42. From the passage we know that most American women today are _____.

A. fighting for their rights to work side by side with men

C. working side by side with men in all kinds of jobs

D. very confident about their future

43. The liberated women want to do all the following EXCEPT ___________.

A. stay at home to help their husbands be successful

B. have the same chances for success as men

C. get the same pay when doing the same work as men

D. seek for office and do some important jobs as men

44. By saying “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go”, a liberated woman is stating that _______.

A. she has nearly got to her destination

B. there is a little more than what she wants

C. she will never get to her ideal destination

D. it is not far enough and she will go a lot further

45. In this passage, the author suggests that in the United States _______.

From their beginnings New England towns had a special democratic system of government. At a stated time all the citizens would assemble at a town meeting, where they would discuss local problems and express opinions freely. They also elected the town’s officials at these gatherings and made decisions about the taxes they would pay and about other community matters. These meetings were usually held at the town hall, which was located in the central square.

In the eighteenth-century town meetings, only men who owned property and who were church members actually voted, although everyone present was allowed to express their opinions. Later, all citizens were allowed to vote. Thus the town meeting became truly democratic. Town meetings are still common in New England communities.

In recent years the town meeting idea has been widely imitated. There are open sessions of this kind on radio and television. Occasionally a meeting of this type is called by a government agency in order to give an opportunity for free and open discussion on current problems and policies.

A. All the citizens. B. All the men except those who were church members.

C. The rich. D. The rich men and the church members.

48. Why has the town meeting been widely imitated?

A. Because many people are interested in it.

C

A research team from Finland, the United States, China and Scotland is hopeful about the future of forests. Six experts in forestry science and economics say forest growth is on the increase in some countries and the number is rising. Professor Kauppi says the findings suggest the world may be able to reach a turning point away from deforestation (毁林). Many experts have considered that impossible. But the researchers say it may be possible to expand the world’s forests by ten percent, or an area about the size of India, by 2050.

They used information released last year by the Food and Agriculture Organization. The new study looked at the fifty nations with the most forests. The researchers used a new way to measure forest resources. They considered more than just the amount of land covered by trees. They also considered forest density, tree sizes, biomass (生物量) and the amount of atmospheric carbon captured in forests. The biomass represents all plants and tree growth.

The researchers say growing stock increased in twenty-two of the fifty countries. And, in about half of the fifty countries, biomass and carbon storage also increased. The researchers say forest areas and biomass are still being lost in such important countries as Brazil and Indonesia. But they found gains in others, including the world’s most populous nations. They say China and the United States have had the greatest gains. And they say India has reached the right balance between forested and non-forested land.

In percentage terms, though, the study says that forest areas have expanded fastest in the last fifteen years in Vietnam, Spain and China. And they have shrunk fastest in Nigeria and the Philippines. Professor Kauppi says the main obstacle to forest growth is fast-growing poor populations that burn wood for cooking fuel, or sell it for quick money or clear forest for crops. But a number of scientists criticized the use of information that came from governments. They said some governments didn’t keep good records about their forests, and might not tell the truth.

51. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The research team is made up of experts from four countries

B. By 2050, India’s forest will have expanded by 10%.

C. Professor Kauppi says it is possible to stop deforestation on the Earth.

D. The Food and Agriculture Organization has provided some useful information for the research.

52. Which of the following statements did the researchers consider when measuring forest resources?

A. The amount of land covered by trees. B. Forest density, tree sizes and biomass.

C. The amount of atmospheric carbon captured in forests. D. All of the above.

53. From the third paragraph, we learn that ________.

A. in about 50% of the fifty countries, biomass and carbon storage increased

B. forest areas and biomass are still being lost in China

C. Brazil is one of the world’s most populous nations

D. Indonesia has reached the right balance between forested and non-forested land

54. What delays forest growth?

A. Some people in developing countries burn or sell wood from forests.

B. There are too many people in the world.

C. Forests are being lost in 22 countries.

D. Some governments don’t tell the truth.

55. What is the tone of this passage?

A. Critical. B. Sorry. C. Indifferent. D. Hopeful.

任务型写作(One possible version)

Dear Principal,I am writing this letter to support my good friend Li Hua's application to study at your university. In my classmates' eyes, he has always been an intelligent and hard-working student, who is helpful and co-operative with others. For these reasons, he is very popular with everyone. (29字)

I agree with my classmates and I have personally benefited greatly from his help. I still remember at the beginning of this school year I was in a traffic accident and that required me to be in hospital for over two months. This situation caused me great concern as I feared I would fall far behind my classmates in this very important year of study. But thanks to Li Hua by the time I was well enough to leave hospital and return to work I was up-to-date in all areas of my study. Not only did he come to visit me every day, bringing with him all the lessons and materials our class had gone through each day, but he patiently sat with me and explained to me all those issues that I didn't understand. Only after staying with me for at least 2 hours every day would he go home and begin his own studies. (156字)

For the reasons above, I urge you to consider his application favourably.

Yours truly,

Li Ping
