第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每小题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

Long after the 2002 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still angry at the questionable refereeing decisions that made their team lose the match. A researcher was sent to study the performance of some top referees (裁判).

The researcher organized experimental matches between four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.

Observers noted down the referees’ errors (错误), of which there were 61 over the matches. Compared to an ordinary match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.

The researcher then studied the videotapes to study the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials did it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the proper distance is about 20 meters.

There also seemed to be a proper speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.

If FIFA, football’s international ruling body, wants to improve the justice of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.

He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is of less importance.

56. The experiment carried out by the researcher was meant to ____________.

   A. make new rules for football refereeing

   B. reexamine the rules for football refereeing

   C. study the causes of errors made by football referees

   D. review the decisions of referees at the 2002 World Cup

57. The findings of the experiment show that __________.

   A. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one sport

   B. the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely errors will happen

   C. the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors

   D. errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball

58. The underlined word “officials” in the passage most probably refers to __________.,

   A. the researcher sent to study in the experiment

   B. the referees of the experimented matches

   C. the observers at the site of the experiment

   D. the inspectors of the football matches

59. What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?

   A. Age is not the most important factor for a football referee.

   B. A football referee should be young and strong.

   C. The ideal retirement age for a football referee is 45.

   D. An experienced football referee can do well even if in poor health.

B

The question has puzzled scientists since the SARS virus first appeared and spread around the world: Where did it come from?

Now, the first clue has appeared. Researchers in Hong Kong and Shenzhen have proved the probable culprit (凶犯)—— the palm civet, a small cat-like animal that is treated as a tasty dish in some parts of China.

After investigating many civets and other animals, scientists from the University of Hong Kong and Shenzhen Center for Disease Control and Prevention, made a discovery. Four of the palm civets tested were carrying the coronavirus (冠状病毒) that causes SARS.

The study provides the first suggestion that the SARS virus exists outside humans. However, many important questions remain. The possibility of animal-to-animal transmission (传播) has to be investigated. For example, the presence of the virus could result from eating of an infected animal.

Yuen Kwok-Yung, a microbiologist at the university, said the virus may have jumped into humans as people raised, killed and cooked the wild animals.

The civet is one of the main parts in the usual wildlife dish “dragon-tiger-phoenix soup”, for which wealthy Chinese in Guangdong Province will pay large sums. The soup includes pieces of civet cat and snake.

Hong Kong virologist Malik Peiris, who heads the team that first found the SARS coronavirus, said that if the food was properly cooked, the virus should be killed.

However, he said, it obviously came from the wild animal, and someone could come into contact with it while the live animal was being handled (买卖).

The findings, announced Friday, caused Chinese officials to ban the sale of the animals to try to stop the spread of the disease and prevent new outbreaks, World Health Organization officials said.

News from the WHO website says that it is too early to know how much wild animals cause the transmission of SARS.

60. Scientists have been puzzled since SARS first appeared and spread because __________.

   A. SARS virus existed outside humans

   B. SARS virus came from a cat-like animal

   C. they didn’t know where SARS virus came from

   D. they didn’t know how to control SARS virus

61. In order to prevent the spread of the disease, Chinese officials ______________.

   A. encourage people to carry on the sale of wild animals

   B. ask people to protect wild animals

   C. forbid people to sell and buy wild animals

   D. ask people to eat wild animals so that they can be more healthy

62. Who was the first to find the clue that shows where the SARS virus comes from?

   A. World Health Organization officials

   B. Researchers in Hong Kong and Shenzhen

   C. Chinese officials

   D. Wealthy Chinese in Guangdong Province

63. The passage as a whole is about that _____________.

   A. Chinese officials try their best to ban the sale of the animals

   B. it is very certain that wild animals are the source of the SARS virus

   C. SARS virus appeared and spread around the world

   D. scientists have found the probable source of the SARS virus

Date: Monday, 7 October, 3:34p.m.

From: raymondyuen @ canada.net

Subject: Complaint

Dear Mr Price,

I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service. This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing.

It was my son’s birthday so we booked a non-smoking table at your restaurant for 7:30 p.m. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8:00 p.m., we were given a table in the smoking section. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.

Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach (蟑螂) in her vegetables. She was shocked and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic. When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she apologized and took the food away.

We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal. Nobody came. After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The head waiter told us that you were on holiday. I complained again about the horrible cockroach. He told me Janet had finished work. He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals. I argued with him but was forced to pay.

The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full refund for our meal. It cost $ 68. Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone.

You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours Sincerely,

Raymond Yuen

How to beat a bad mood

Having one of those days — or weeks — when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster — often within a day or two.

* Walk it off

Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.

* Tune it out

Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tensions go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had.

* Give yourself a pep talk

Stop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper; the pessimistic (悲观的) messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don’t have-ajob.” vs. “I have two interviews next week.”)

* Reduce your stress

Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing (想像), all of which sound complicated but aren’t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options (选择). By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.

* Avoid things that won’t improve your mood

TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate (激活) your mind — something that the TV show “Neighbors” won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta, produce a calming effects in people who have a desire for them.

72. We learn from the text that it might help rid us of a bad mood to

   A. do nothing about it

   B. take a long walk on the beach

   C. do some exercises with light music

   D. talk it to neighbors

73. Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?

   A. It is not complicated to do so.

   B. It is an area to be easily controlled.

   C. It helps beat a bad mood.

   D. It brings us a new technique.

74. TV may not improve your mood because ___________.

   A. it sometimes shows what happens around you

   B. it does not energize you

   C. it reminds you of eating and drinking

   D. it produces a calming effect

75. This text most probably appears in ____________.

   A. a TV programme on physical exercises   B. a doctor’s handbook

   C. an advertisement                   D. a magazine
