IV. 阅读理解 （共20小题，每小题2分，共30分）
A
Welcome to our introductory course on nutrition (营养学) . This first lecture will center on a very valuable member of the bean family, the soy bean. The soy bean is a highly nutritious bean which also can serve as a meat substitute (替代物). Some people call soy beans unthinkable. Let me give you some examples of why the soy bean is so special. First of all, when it is made into meal, it improves animal feed. Secondly, as soy flour it similarly enriches the baked goods we humans eat. Thirdly, as soy chips or flakes, it’s often included in cereals. And lastly, in some countries, for example, China , the soy bean is made into really all fresh milk consumed there. It is also the basic part of vegetable protein which brings a meat-like taste and feel to vegetarian dishes. For many years soy beans were thought of in the United States only as a commercial agricultural crop. Now, however, the soy bean is being raised in backyard gardens. It’s easy to grow and, as I have pointed out before, beneficial in many ways.
56. The main idea of the passage is that ______ .
A. the soy bean is the basic part of vegetable protein
B. the soy bean is easy to grow
C. soy beans are delicious
D. soy beans have many uses
57. The lecture is most probably given by ______ .
A. an English language teacher B. a food producer

C. It is a complete milk substitute. D. It is easily made into flour at home.

Sandstorms Strike as 2001 Dawns
Sandstorms hit northwestern China's Gansu Province and North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region(内蒙古自治区)on the first day of the new century. According to Sun Landong, a meteorologist with the Lanzhou Meteorology Observatory, visibility(能见度)was less than 100 meters in Minqin, a Gansu county near Inner Mongolia, because of sand. When visibility drops to less than 1 kilometer, it is called a sandstorm. The sandstorm in Minqin blew up dust in neighboring towns, such as Baiyin, Wuwei, Jinchang and Lanzhou, the capital city of Gansu Province. Dust-laden winds also swept into Beijing.
Brought by northwesterlies blowing at more than 20 meters per second, dust first reached the capital's suburbs at 7 a.m., downtown areas at 9 a.m. The winds, which died down during the night, brought the temperature down to as low as 8℃ below zero and many flights put off their planned time from the city's airport.
It is quite rare for sandstorms, which are frequent between March and June, to happen in winter, when the earth is frozen. The sandstorms in Gansu and Inner Mongolia do not necessarily mean there will be more of them in the spring than last year, when they were serious, but Beijing is taking it very seriously. It is reported that Beijing will spend 6 billion yuan (US 725 million) in preventing sandstorms in the capital and has already set up a special team to make sure what causes them.
59. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Sandstorms took place in Gansu.
B. Sandstorms happened on the first day of the new century.
C. Sandstorms are very serious, compared to last year.
D. The experts are trying their best to determine the cause of the sandstorm formed this year.
60. Suppose the dust was 300 kilometers away from Beijing, it would reach Beijing about hours later if it travels at a speed of 20 meters per second?
A.4.2. B.15. C.20. D.25.
61. Why did sandstorms begin in the winter this year?
A. Because there was little snow this season.
B. Because a lot of trees have been cut down.
C. Because people took few measures to control them.
D. It is not mentioned in the passage.
62. Which of the following doesn't belong to the bad effect the sandstorms have done in Beijing?
A. The temperature fell.
B. Flights put off their time to take off.
C. The air is dirty.
D. People had three days off.
63. The author wrote the passage to .
A. tell us the environments are becoming worse and worse
B. explain what measures people have taken to control sandstorms
C. make people realize the need to protect the environment
D. call on us to do what we can to save the earth
C
The Three Gorges Dam, the largest dam, is also the largest engineering project on the face of the earth. It aims to make the mother of all floods, the Yangtze River, into a tame river, and to generate(产生) power of 181,200 megawatts for Eastern and Central China. It will form a huge, deep water lake, and make it possible for 10 000 ton ocean—going ships to sail 1,500 miles inland from the Pacific to the city of Chongqing, making it one of the world's largest inland ports.
Construction has already started. The dam will be about 6 860 feet wide and 611 feet high, at a spot called Sandouping near Yichang. It is obvious that such a grand project will do much good. It is the most important to control floods. By building hydropower plants, China will offer much in environmental projection（计划）.
However, some scientists don't agree to the project. They say the Chongqing and dozens of other cities along the river will pollute the reservoir(水库）,which will destroy the ecological(生态学的） balance and also the sand from upstream will form sand bed. The Three Gorges Dam could be considered when it is finished, in 2009, the eighth wonder of the world.
64. Which is not the purpose to build such a huge dam?
A. To prevent floods. B. To produce electricity.
C. To improve the sailing conditions. D. To make it a wonder.
65. Where does the dam lie?
A. Near Chongqing. B. In Sandouping. C. Near Yichang. D. In Yichang.
66. Some scientists fear that _______ when the dam is built.
A. the ecological balance will be destroyed
B. large ships will destroy the dam
C. the Yangtze River may be too crowded
D. the amount of electricity will not be as much as expected
67. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A. China will be able to depend on the Yangtze River, the third largest river in the world, for electricity.
B. Chongqing will become one of the largest inland ports in the world.
C. The dam will cause serious pollution.
D. The dam will tame the Yangtze River.

Because of a full display of her skill and grace, a crowd of 5,000 could not look away from 22-year-old Russian Svetlana Khorkina(霍尔金娜)at the World Gymnastics Championships (世界体操锦标赛).
The "Queen of Gymnastics" won three gold medals at the games held in Belgium from October 29 to November 6. Her medals were won on the vaults(跳马), the uneven bars ( 高低杠 ) and for the individual all-round tide. This is the first time a woman has won three gold medals at a world championships since 1993. “Wow, I'm so nappy,” Khorkina said. "I simply wanted to show what I was capable of.

Yet there is more to the Olympic, world and European champion than her medals. Khorkina moves skillfully from one role to another. Sometimes she’s a charming quickness, sometimes an athletic superwoman, and sometimes a fashionable girl.
She claims the hard training and many competitions have not changed her. In her spare time, Khorkina is just a common neighborhood girl. She talks with friends on her mobile phone while enjoying buttered bread; when there are no other cars around, she drives her new Renault on the auto-drome (赛车跑道)at high speeds.
When she was only 18, Khorkina was pictured without her top on for Playboy magazine. It greatly angered her father. But Khorkina said that if the contract was satisfactory, she would be pictured again.
At the start of this recent world event, Khorkina made a fashion statement showing how modem she is. She wore a midnight blue velvet ( 丝绒) dress with sequined shoulders and a low neckline.
“Although I enjoy people calling me a symbol of Russian sports, I’d like to pursue my chosen lifestyle,” she said. “I want to be myself ” Khorkina has her own dreams. She thinks of becoming an independent business woman involved in modeling. But she would also like to do something for gymnastics in her hometown of Belgorod.
68. The main idea of paragraph 5 is ___.

Tom had never been to America before he got on the plane to London and then to New York and Detroit. He had studied a lot of English in junior and senior high school at home. He was able to travel without any English problems. He could buy things, go through immigration and customs easily, and he could even read an airplane timetable. Tom had more trouble with some American customs than with English. He had trouble at first with the way Phil and Linda talked to their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson. They didn't call them “Father” and “Mother”. Instead, they just said “Dad” and “Mom”. Tom thought that children should be more formal when they talked with their parents. The worst thing that happened to Tom in America was his toothache. The dentist was very good, but Tom never did like going to a dentist, even at home. It was worse in America, since Tom wasn’t sure what would happen to him. The good part about his visit to the dentist was that the drilling and the filling didn’t really hurt at all.
