第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30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

　The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.

　She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?”

　I laughed and enthusiastically（热情地）responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.

　“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!”

　“No seriously,” I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

　“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.

　Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

　At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.

　“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor everyday. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!” she said.

　“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years older. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,” she added.

　“The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”

　She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Song of Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics（歌词）and live them out in our daily lives.

　At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

56. Rose made herself known to the author in a ______ manner.

　 A. serious　　　　 B. cold　　　　　 C. humorous　　　　　D. crazy

57. From the information provided in the passage, we know ______.

A. Rose finished the college degree within a year

B. Rose did realize her dream of meeting a rich husband and getting married through college education

C. Rose enjoyed her campus life very much

D. Rose grew so old that she stopped playing

58. Rose delivered the speech ______.

　 A. at the graduation　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. ended with “The Song of Rose”

　 C. which she prepared carefully　　　　　　　 D. to challenge all the other speakers

59. According to her speech, ______.

　A. whenever you have a dream, you succeed

　 B. all people don’t grow up while growing older

　 C. Rose usually regretted having done something

　 D. a nine-year-old is as old as a 87-year-old if he doesn’t do anything

60. The best title of the passage is _______.

　 A. A speech delivered by an old student　　　　　　　　B. Rose graduated when she was 87.

　 C. Realizing a dream 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. An 87-year-old college student

B

Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors(流星), but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is necessary for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable(可忍的). Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous(巨大的) quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.

Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of this or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed(畸形的) children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated(积累) a large amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.

61. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is necessary to man because it _______.

　 A. protects him against the harmful rays from space

　 B. provides sufficient light for plant growth

　 C. supplies the heat necessary for human survival

　 D. screens off the falling meteors

62. We know from the passage that _________.

　 A. exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal（致命的）

　 B. the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming

　 C. radiation is avoidable in space exploration

　 D. astronauts in spacesuits needn’t worry about radiation damage

63. The harm radiation that has been done to the Apollo crew members ________.

　 A. is insignificant　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. is enormous

　 C. seems overestimated（过高估计的）　　　　　　　　　　 D. remains unknown

64. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

　 A. the Apollo mission was very successful

　 B. protection from space radiation is no easy job

　 C. astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren

　 D. radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers

C

A proud US father has named his son after a computer software term（术语）.

Jon Blake Cusack, from Mocjogam, told local newspapers the US traditional way of adding “Junior” or “Ⅱ” after a boy’s name was too common.

So, when his son was born last week, he decided on the name Jon Blake Cusack 2.0, as if he were a software upgrade.

Mr Cusack admitted that it took months to persuade his wife, Jamie, to accept the idea.

Mrs Cusack said she asked several friends whether they can accept this name or not.

All the men, she said, felt the name was “cool”. However, her women friends did not think so. “I think the women will end up liking it,” she said.

Mr Cusack told the local newspaper he got the idea from a film called The Legend of 1900, in which an abandoned baby is given the name 1900 to remember the year of its birth.

“I thought that if they can do it, why can’t we?” he said.

After little Jon Version 2.0 was born, Mr Cusack even sent a celebratory e-mail to the family and friends designed to look as though he and his wife had created new software.

“I wrote things like ‘there are a lot of new features from Version 1.0 with additional features from Jamie’,” he said. And he is already planning for his son’s future. “If he has a child, he could name it 3.0,” he said.

65. According to the passage we know that “Jon Black Cusack 2.0” 　　　　 .

　　　 A. shows the traditional way of American baby naming

　　　 B. is not the name of a computer software

　　　 C. has the same meaning as “Jon Black Cusack Junior”

　　　 D. tells something about the hope the father places on his baby

66. What do the names of “1900” and “Jon Version 2.0” have in common?

　　　 A. They’re both connected with computer.　　　 B. They’re both untraditional.

　　　 C. They both tell about the births.　　　　　　　　　　　　　D. They’re to be equally popular.

67. What does “Version 1.0” refer to in the last paragraph?

　　　 A. A computer software.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　B. Mr Cusack.

　　　 C. Mr Cusack and his wife.　　　　　　　　　　　　D. Mr Cusack’s grandson.

Research on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists in recent years, just like the booming hi-tech industry. One of the latest research topics is how to change the human brain or combine the computer and the human brain, i.e. to transplant a chip into o human brain. This innovation(改革) may make everyone’s dream come true. If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to enlarge the applicable capacity of the hard disc. For the time being, there are some difficulties in such transplant experiments, but scientists never give up.

Experiments have started on animals. In 1996, a transplant experiment performed at the Defense and Military Physiology Research Institute in the U.S. turned a bear into a dolphin.

The dolphin was named Ted, and the bear was named Tallin. Using the most advanced technology available, deep and detailed images were made of the memory area in Ted’s brain containing information about swimming by the scientists. They obtained a series of useful information, the signals transferred by the nervous system. Such information was saved into a button-sized chip, which was then transplanted into the action memory area in Tallin’s brain. The information saved on the chip was released by means of electric power.

Recently, another comprehensive memory transplant was performed at the Motor Never Research Institute of the University of California. The comprehensive memory transplanted in the experiment included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc. The experiment involved an entire transplant of the memory area. This was the largest such experiment done so far.

The transplant was performed making a transfer from a dog named “Genius” to a dog named “Idiot”. “Genius” could understand and follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. “Idiot” was the younger brother of “Genius”. It had no contact with people at all since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.

The operation was a complete success. When the two dogs woke up. “Idiot” had grasped all the abilities “Genius” possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But “Genius” gave no response to its master, and in fact did not recognize him at all.

72. The purpose of the experiment is _________.

　 A. to combine the computer and the human brain　　　　　 B. to make bear swim

　 C. to make some stupid dog turn clever

　 D. to enlarge the applicable capacity of human brain

73. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

　 A. The scientists transferred a button-sized chip wit useful information in Tallin’s brain.

　 B. The comprehensive memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research University.

　 C. The second experiment wasn’t an entire transplant of the memory area.

　 D. The Idiot was an animal with memory before brain experiment

74. What does the underlined word “success” refer to?

　 A. The two dogs woke up.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. They were both good at memorizing.

　 C. The Idiot grasped all the abilities of Genius.

　 D. The Genius grasped all the abilities of Idiot.

75. According to the text, we can infer ________.

　 A. a person can know more after the experiment

　 B. a bear can swim after being transferred a chip with relevant useful information

　 C. a dog can become clever after entire transplant of the memory area

　 D. it is really good for animals to have been involved in the transplant experiment
