第三部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié), 滿分40分）

第一節(jié) 選擇題（共17小題,  滿分34分）

閱讀下列短文, 從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選中, 選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

A

Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is for an unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (鎖止器), and a radio signal from a control center miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off , he will not be able to start it again .

The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cell phone, a microprocessor and memory, and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cell phone signal will tell the control center to block the vehicle’s engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted.

In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. “The pattern of vehicle crime has changed,” says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.

Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won’t allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (點(diǎn)火) key. In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.

But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owner’s keys. Any key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.

If the car travels 100 meters without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operation center that it has been stolen. The hundred meters minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal.

Staff at the center will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicle’s movements via the car’s GPS unit.

56. What’s the function of the remote immobilizer fitted to a car?

       A. To allow the car to lock automatically when stolen.

       B. To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops.

A man walks into a doctor’s office. He has a cucumber up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear. "What’s the matter with me?" he asks the doctor. The doctor replies, "You’re not eating properly."

This is a popular joke among British schoolchildren. It reflects Britain’s famous dry and satirical (諷刺的) way of seeing the funny side of life. This unique sense of humor is often cited as one of Britain’s defining national characteristics.

"The famous British sense of humor has long been our most cherished national characteristic," says the British journalist Leo Mckinstry. "We have valued it above historic military victories and great works of literature, above our rich scenic landscape and our talent for invention."

The British sense of humor differs from other countries because it is generally more negative. When it comes to making the British laugh, there is nothing more effective than a socially inappropriate joke.

Popular British comedy shows such as Fawlty Towers, Blackadder and The Office are full of sarcasm (諷刺), teasing and self-deprecation (自嘲). It reflects the culture where mocking (嘲笑), moaning (訴苦) and ridicule is part of everyday life.

While most Britons don’t take these jokes too seriously, foreigners are often bemused (迷惑) by them. A recent survey found that most foreigners who visited Britain found that the British are "arrogant (傲慢的), unfriendly and have almost no sense of humor."

Do foreigners not understand British humor or are the British just not as funny as they think they are? McKinstry certainly thinks the British are funny. "Accusing the British of having no sense of humor is like telling Rolls-Royce that its cars are down-market," he says.

61. The word "dry" in paragraph 2 means ______.

A. difficult to understand

B. popular among children

C. dull and uninteresting

D. amusing without appearing to be so

62. According to Leo McKinstry, which of the following is valued most by the British?

A. Historic military victories.

B. Great works of literature.

C. Their unique sense of humor.

D. Their rich scenic landscape.

63. British humor has the following characteristics EXCEPT being ______.

A. negative    B. arrogant   C. satirical    D. self-deprecating

64. McKinstry mentioned Rolls-Royce to show that ______.

A. the British have good sense of humor

B. the British humor is difficult for foreigners to understand

C. the British are unfriendly

D. the British are not as funny as they think they are

I recently wrote an autobiography in which I recalled many old memories. One of them was from my school days, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from the Reader’s Digest to test our vocabulary.

      Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out “It pays to Enrich your Word Power” first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Reader’s Digest knows the power that words have to move people -- to entertain, inform, and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isn’t always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: “Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk.”

      Seventeen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey! That’s usually how it is with Reader’s Digest. Small and simple can be profound (意義深遠(yuǎn)).

      As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I’ve been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like “hope”, “guts”, “faith”, “dreams”. Those are words that move people and say so much about the spirit of America.

      Don’t get me wrong. I’m not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a miracle -- if it’s the right word, in the right place, at the right time. It’s a “secret” that I hope I never forget.

65. The passage is mainly about         .

A. one of the many old memories

B. using simple words to express profound ideas

C. Reader’s Digest and school speeches

D. how to make effective speeches

66. It seems that Reader’s Digest is a magazine popular with          .

A. people of all ages          B. teenagers

C. school teachers              D. elderly readers

67. The author’s “secret” is          .

A. to avoid using big words at any time

B. to use words that have the power to move people

C. to work a miracle by using a small word

D. to use small and simple words where possible

68. According to the author, words that have power can give people          .

A. hope, courage, and ideas                     

B. confidence, determination, and strength

C. pleasure, knowledge, and encouragement                            

D. humor, information, and power

While researchers have long shown that tall people earn more than their shorter counterparts, it's not only social discrimination that accounts for this inequality -- tall people are just smarter than their height-challenged peers, a new study finds.
   "As early as age three -- before schooling has had a chance to play a role -- and throughout childhood, taller children perform significantly better on cognitive tests," wrote Anne Case and Christina Paxson of Princeton University in a paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

The findings were based primarily on two British studies that followed children born in 1958 and 1970, respectively, through adulthood and a U.S. study on height and occupational choice.

Other studies have pointed to low self-esteem, better health that accompanies greater height, and social discrimination as culprits(罪犯) for lower pay for shorter people.

But researchers Case and Paxson believe the height advantage in the job world is more than just a question of image.

"As adults, taller individuals are more likely to select into higher paying occupations that require more advanced verbal and numerical skills and greater intelligence, for which they earn handsome returns," they wrote.

For both men and women in the United States and the United Kingdom, a height advantage of four inches equated with a 10 percent increase in wages on average.

But the researchers said the differences in performance crop up long before the tall people enter the job force. Prenatal care(產(chǎn)前護(hù)理) and the time between birth and the age of 3 are critical periods for determining future cognitive ability and height.

"Prenatal care and prenatal nutrition are just incredibly important, even more so than we already knew," Case said in an interview.

Since the study's data only included populations in the United Kingdom and the United States, the findings could not be applied to other regions, Case said.

And how tall are the researchers?

They are both about 5 feet 8 inches tall, well above the average height of 5 feet 4 inches for American women.

69. What can be learnt from the study of Anne Case and Christina Paxson is that ______ .

A. the reason for lower pay for shorter people is social discrimination

B. taller children perform significantly better on cognitive test

C. tall people earn more than shorter counterparts

D. prenatal care and prenatal nutrition are less important than we already knew

70. Which period is the most important for determining future cognitive ability and height?

A. between age 3 and schooling    B. between birth and the age of 3

C. the whole childhood           D. between 1958 and 1970

71. The underlined phrase “crop up” in the Eighth Paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.

A. get in                    B. rise up                 C. come up       D. stand up

72. The best title for this passage would be _______.

A. Tall people earn more than shorter counterparts 

B. A study on height and occupational choice

C. The difference between tall people and short people 

D. Taller people are smarter

Valerie Zhmud is originally from Ukraine, where he was trained in violin. Three days a week, he plays professionally at a restaurant, but sometimes, he plays in Grand Central Station. He says he enjoys the crowds. "I love playing for people and make good feeling for them, and the whole time they say, 'thank you, thank you', so it's really nice," he adds.

The program started in 1985 as part of a wider initiative(首創(chuàng)精神) called "Arts for Transit." Every year, a group of judges selects musicians from hundreds of applicants. Lydia Bradshaw, who works for the New York City Metropolitan Transit System, says that the music enhances the atmosphere.  "It's to encourage the use of mass transit and increase the environment for commuters(乘公共車(chē)輛上下班者, 月/季票乘客)," says Bradshaw.

Music Under New York(MUNY) also acts as a point of contact for the musicians, allowing interested parties to get in touch with the musicians and maybe even book them for a show.

Jeremiah Lockwood started playing blues in the subway at a young age. Now he has a record deal. "It gives you a platform to say anything you want to say. Also, you have this kind of immediate connection with people. You don't have a captive(被迷住的) audience, you have to capture them yourself," he said.

Capturing their dollars may be harder, as busy New Yorkers often rush by. But for those who stop and listen, a great musical experience awaits them.

One commuter said, "I think it's really cool because it makes me more energized, and it's free by the way.  They're giving so many great [songs] that I've never heard before." It also allows performers to reach an audience who may not come to see them otherwise.

More than 100 musicians are currently participating in the program. They schedule themselves on a weekly basis at one of 25 designated(指定的) locations throughout New York City's transit systems.

73. Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “enhance”.

74. Why do the musicians like to play music in those public places?（回答字?jǐn)?shù)不超過(guò)10個(gè)）

    Many Americans concerned about air pollution are demanding cleaner and cheaper supplies of energy. The demand has resulted in increased research about ethanol fuel. Ethanol is an alcohol that can be mixed with gas. It burns up most of the pollutants in gas. It replaces some of the chemicals that are known to cause cancer.

    Some experts say that in the future ethanol will replace some of the oil imported into America. Today ethanol is less than one percent of the total American fuel supply. The head of the National Corn Growers Association, Kieve Hars, says ethanol will provide twenty five percent of the fuel supply by 2010. The organization is involved in the production of ethanol because it can be made from corn.

    One company in American Midwest says it is starting to produce ethanol because of demands from people and from the government. The Congress approved the Clean Air Act in 1990. The company says this means the market for ethanol will expand. The company is a major producer of corn starch (淀粉) that can be used to make ethanol.

    At Texas University, Professor Mark Holzapple produces ethanol from materials found in solid waste. He has developed a way to turn materials like paper into simple sugar. He then uses yeast (酵母) to turn the sugar into ethanol. Professor Holzappple says two hundred liters of ethanol fuel can be produced from one ton of solid waste.

    A professor at the University of Arkansas, John Geddie, is exploring another way to make ethanol. He is using acids(酸類(lèi)物質(zhì)) on paper material. He says a large factory could produce ethanol from waste paper about the same cost of that of gasoline.

    Environmentalists support the use of ethanol because it turns waste into a useful product. Professor Holzapple says law makers in industrial nations need to support the development of this renewable fuel of the future.

Conclusion One possible version： New Outlook? We can see in the picture that one person is asking the other to do some voluntary labour, but the other feels it very funny, saying, “Aren’t you kidding me? Times have change and doing voluntary labor is already out of date.” It is true that with the development of economy, many people have become rich. However, with their wallets full, some people have changed their outlook on value, laying too much emphasis on nothing but money and personal interests. At one time, serving the people heart and soul was glorious, but now it is being constantly laughed at. In my opinion, spiritual civilization is as important as material civilization. Nowadays, the government advocates setting up a harmonious society. Therefore, people should reply to the call with action. If everyone does a little bit for others and the society, our world will be a much better one.
