第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
One Monday morning, Paul and his classmates were in science laboratory for their practical chemistry lesson. The students were going to work in pairs to do an experiment. Before they began, the teacher gave them this description of the different stages of the experiment.
Stage 1 : Prepare the equipment: a test tube, a crucible, a Bunsen burner and tongs.
Stage 2 : Weigh 5 grams of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and put it in a crucible.
Stage 3 : Heat 10 ml of hydrochloric acid (盐酸) in a test tube.
Stage 4 : Pour the warm acid onto the baking soda and continue to heat the mixture.
Result : The acid reacts with the bicarbonate (碳酸氢盐) to form water, carbon dioxide gas and salt. The hotter the mixture, the quicker the reaction. Continue to heat the mixture until the water evaporates, leaving the salt in the crucible.
Paul and his partner followed the instructions and set up their equipment. Paul went to the cupboard to get a bottle of hydrochloric acid. He found that there was only one bottle in the cupboard so he took that. There was no label on the bottle and Paul didn’t check with the teacher if it was the right solution.
He measured the liquid and poured it into a test tube. Using tongs to hold the test tube, he heated it over the Bunsen burner. That’s when things started to go wrong. The liquid in the test tube was not hydrochloric acid. When it was heated, it formed a thick cloud of white gas. Soon the room was full of this strong smelling white gas.
All the students started coughing and their eyes hurt. The teacher immediately opened the windows and ordered the students to leave the laboratory at once. She realised that the liquid was a crylamide (丙烯酰胺) and that it is poisonous.
Fortunately, nobody was injured in the incident. However, it taught the students and the teacher a good lesson.
56．Which of the following sentence can be the last sentence of the passage?
A．Never have a bottle without a label in the chemistry lab!
B．Obey your teacher’s instructions in the Chemistry lab.
C．Acrylamide can’t take the place of hydrochloric acid.
D．When you find something unusual happened while doing a chemistry experiment, open the windows and leave the laboratory at once.
57．How can they make the reaction quicker?
A．Putting the substances in a crucible.
B．Pouring some acrylamide into the test tube.
C．Pouring some hydrochloric acid into the test tube.
D．Heating mixture continuously.
58．What substance was the students making in the experiment?
A．Water. B．Carbon dioxide gas.
C．Salt. D．Poisonous gas.
59．Why did paul make the mistake?
A．He went to the cupboard to get the bottle by himself.
B．He found that there was only one bottle in the cupboard so he took that.
C．There was no label on the bottle.
D．Paul didn’t check with the teacher that it was the right solution.
B
Talking on a mobile phone is expensive, so a lot of people send text messages. Text messages are much cheaper than talking on a mobile phone, and you can make it even cheaper by shortening the words that you use. You can do this by taking out “unimportant” letters in the words (usually vowels) and using numbers instead of words (2 = to, 3 = free, 4 = for, 8 = ate, so h8 = hate, etc.). You can also avoid using punctuation like inverted commas. Here is an example: im hm nw, why nt gv me a cll? (I’m home now, why not give me a call?)
What do you think these text messages mean?
Whr hv U bn? iv bn wtng hrs fr a cll
Do U wnt 2 g 2 th cnma tnite?
I ge a txt mssge frm my frnd. Shes hvng a prty on Strdy. Do U wnt 2 cm?
Mobile phone users have developed a series of symbols to show how they feel. They are called emoticons, and there are some examples below. To read an emoticon, you have to look at it sideways.
For example, if you say something in a text message which is a joke, you can follow it with a smiling fact. Like this:
Why didn’t u call me? I’m so sad. : - )
60．What does “vowel” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．元音 B．誓言 C．毛巾 D．字母
61．Can you think of text messages where you could use them?
a: - ) b: - ( c: - V d: -
A．laughing, shouting, asleep, sad B．shouting, asleep, laughing, sad
C．laughing, sad, shouting, asleep D．shouting, asleep, shouting, sad
62．Why do people use text messages and emoticons?
A．Talking on a mobile phone is expensive.
B．Text messages are much cheaper than talking on a mobile phone.
C．Shortening the words you use is cheaper.
D．All of the above.

Vocabulary Building
The average person learns most of the 30,000 ~ 40,000 words whose meaning he or she recognizes by hearing them or getting familiar with them in the context or simply absorbing them without conscious effort. The best way to build a good vocabulary, therefore, is to read a great deal and to participate in a lot of good talks. There are relatively few words that we learn permanently by purposefully referring to dictionaries or keeping word lists. However, even those extra few are of value, and no one will make a mistake by working on developing a larger vocabulary. Here are some suggestions of how to do it.
Read plenty of good books. When you come across a new word, or a new meaning of an old word, stop and see if you can understand it from its context. If you can’t, and if you can manage without interrupting the thought of the book too much, look it up in a dictionary or ask somebody and then repeat its meaning to yourself a couple of times. If you are really conscientious, write the word and its meaning in a personal vocabulary list - preferably using it in a sentence, or you can keep a special vocabulary notebook. Go over the list from time to time. Further, try to use a new word in writing or conversation a few times over the next several days.
Listen to good talks and be alert to new words you hear or to new meanings of words you already know. Then treat them just as you do the new words you read.
Learn and be alert to the parts of words: prefixes, suffixes and roots. Knowing them enables you to make intelligent guesses about the meaning of words.
If you are studying a foreign language, be alert to words in that language which relate to words in English. English has inherited or borrowed much of its vocabulary of 500,000 ~ 600,000 words from Latin, Greek, French, Spanish and German.
63．When you meet a new word in reading, what should you do?
A．Guess its meaning. B．Ask somebody.
C．Look it up in a dictionary. D．All of the above.
64．According to this passage, the best way to build a good vocabulary is .
A．to remember a lot B．to read a great deal
C．to take part in a lot of good talks D．Both B and C
65．The phrase “be alert to” in the third paragraph may best be replaced by “ ”.
A．look at B．pay attention to C．write down D．learn by heart
66．In the fourth paragraph, the word “them” refers to .
A．the parts of words B．prefixes
C．suffixes D．roots
67．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．We learn most of our vocabulary without conscious effort.
B．Keeping a personal vocabulary list is a good was to enlarge one’s vocabulary.
C．Listening to people talking is of little help to one’s vocabulary building.
D．All the suggestions given also apply to foreign language study.

Let’s say that you are standing on the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building in New York City. In your hand you are holding a precious Ming Dynasty vase. As part of an experiment, you let the vase slip from your hand.
Scientists and researchers stationed at the 81 st floor of the Empirs State Building wait a few moments, and then report their findings: the vase has cleared their research post and is rushing totally intact toward the lower floors. “There is not,” they report, “a single reason to be concerned. The vase is safe. Its fall through space has left the vase undamaged.”
Recently a similar junk science report has come from the industry group Wireless Technology Research and the National Cancer Institute. Their research teams evaluated a short term, three – year study examining the cancer rate of cell phone users. Their conclusion was stated by spokesman Joshua Muscat: “We feel confident that the results reflect that cell phones don’t seem to cause brain cancer.”
For most types of cancer, the disease is a phenomenon that occurs after a sustained period of bodily attack for at least four to fifteen years. When an important study is shortened to a duration of only three years, its accuracy is severely affected. The thinking consumer should be left with as many questions as reassurances (放心) after such an announcement. If an industry shortens a research time to such a meaningless time period, what is that indicating about their overall credibility (可信性)?
We now acknowledge the role that garette smoking plays in terms of lung cancer, rheumatoid arthritis (类风湿性关节炎) and other health problems. The tobacco industry used its influence in the media to “buy” time on news reports. For decades, during the sixties and seventies, industry – sponsored science studies “proved ” that cigarette smoking was a healthy activity. Only after the US Congress banned tobacco – paid advertisements was the truth able to appear.
When I address concerns about the cell phone situation, I am asked to cite (引用) a peer – re – viewed article offering solid proof as to the need for caution. So I will end this article with this citation: “Bioelectromagnetics Society, Volume 21, No 5, 2000.” A. Scirmacher et al. wrote the relevant article, and it discusses the blood brain barrier disruption of test animals when expose to the EM radiation of cell phone antennas (天线)
68．The writer introduces an imaginary experiment in the first two paragraphs to .
A．show that the Ming Dynasty vase is of good quality
B．imply that science calls for lots of experiments
C．prove that some objects can fall through space safely
D．suggest that scientific conclusions shouldn’t be reached too quickly
69．What does the underlined word “intact” probably, mean in Paragraph Two?
A．uninjured B．dangerous C．ridiculous D．broken
70．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Wireless Technology Research and the National Cancer Institute conducted the 3 – years research.
B．Scirmacher quite agreed with the opinions expressed by Joshua Muscat.
C．It’s against the law to show tobacco – paid advertisements on TV in the US.
D．Science reports are not always loyal to the truth.
71．Which of the following will the writer of the passage agree with?
A．Cell phones should be forbidden in modern society.
B．There’s no relationship between cell phones and brain cancer.
C．Scientists should only accept research fund from the government.
D．Experimets should be scientific to examine the influence of cell phones.

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a produce, the other as a process.
People have generally viewed personal growth as an external result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language – all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they gain new experiences and face unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to confront the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may fail at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we’re shy and indecisive (优柔寡断)? Then we may hesitate, move slowly, and not take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think we’re slow to adapt to change or that we’re not smart enough to cope with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feelings of insecurity (缺乏安全) and self – doubt are both unavoidable and necessary for us to change and grow. If we do not confront and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.
72．A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when .
A．he has given up his smoking habit
B．he has made great efforts in his work
C．he is keen on learning anything new
D．he has tried to determine where he is no his journey
73．In the author’s eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would .
A．succeed in climbing up the social ladder
B．judge his ability to grow from his own achievements
C．face difficulties and take up challenges
D．aim high and reach his goal each time
74．When the author says “a new way of being”, he is referring to .
A．a new approach to experiencing the world
B．a new way of taking risks
C．a new method of perceiving ourselves
D．a new system of adapting to change
75．For personal growth, the author supports all of the following except .
A．curiosity about more chances B．promptness in self – adaptation
C．open – mindedness to new experiences D．avoidance of internal fears and doubts

Good evening. Tonight’s broadcast brings together music from different corners of the world. The records we have chosen for you are from classical Western music, Indian music and pop. In this broadcast we shall study the language of music. We shall try to find out how music expresses people’s feelings. You’ll hear a Beethoven piano piece and songs sung by a pop group and some black Americans. It will be natural if you like one more than the others. I shall be trying to explain why they are all good music. The feeling in each of the following compositions is sadness. You can find sadness in words, in paintings, and in music. Music is one form of art. It’s like the spoken language but uses sounds differently. I shall be saying a few words after each record. Now, the piano piece by Beethoven.

Dear Jack,
How are you getting along these days?
I’m in Senior Grade 3 now, and I’m writing to ask for a favor.
Could you please help me to find a book on how to improve my English writing skills, such as how to organize an article and how to use transitional words? Hopefully, this book will cover a wide range of topics, each with some proper examples. It would be better if it includes the topics and possible versions of the writings for the test papers of the past three years’ Collgeg Entrance Examinations. Besides, I hope the book could be of the same size as our English textbooks, no matter how thick it could be. Of course, it should be of the latest edition for Senior Grade 2007. If it’s possible, please post it to my school. (115 words)
Thank you very much, my dear friend. I wish I hadn’t put you to so much trouble.
Yours,
Zhang Lin
