The amount of usable water has always been of great interest in the world.36  springs and streams sometimes means control ,particularly in the 37 areas like the desert. The control is possible even without possession of large areas of 38 land. In the early days of the American West ,gun fights were not 39 for the water resources, and laws had to be 40to protect the water rights of the 41 and the use of the water resources accordingly.

42 is known to us all, there is not 43 water in all places for everyone to use as much as he likes.

The operator at the base station can get the data at any time by 54a button. In the near future, the forecast and use of water 55 probably depend on the advance knowledge of snow on mountains, not of water underground.

第三部分　阅读理解 （共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）

A

The gray-haired lady can’t wait to leave the building to search for her dad. Unless watched, she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father, who died 30 years ago .

Not all cases of Alzheimer’s disease look like this, but Alzheimer’s is a serious disease that is said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.

It ‘s said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have　Alzheimer’s . In the early stages ,people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality , easy to be angry. As the disease progresses , patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.

While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain’s nerve fibers(神经纤维), their effect is certain . Alzheimer’s .destroys not only the patients, but also spouses(配偶) ,friends and families.

What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer’s .disease. Though many reasons other than Alzheimer’s .disease may cause memory loss, its early diagnosis and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects.

What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimer’s .disease? A person will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn’t remember you are married.

Life for the Alzheimer’s .patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses, bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger towards God. No matter what feelings are present , facing them honestly will serve one better than burying them.

56.What can be inferred from the passage about the gray-haired lady?

A  She has been living with her father.

B  She was sad about the death of her father

C  She can’t search for her father without being watched.

D  She suffers from Alzheimer’s .disease

57.When people suffer from Alzheimer’s .disease,__________.

A  their families and friends will suffer from the same disease.

B  their families and friends will experience mental suffering.

C  they will certainly dies in 8 to 10 years.

D  they will forget everybody but their spouses

58.Memory loss occurs_________.

A  from Alzheimer’s .disease and nothing else

B  from sadness, shock, anger, and so on

C  for a number of reasons

D  with changes in personality

59.From the passage we know that___________

A  early treatment may stop Alzheimer’s .disease occurring

B  it is still unknown what causes the changes in the brain’s nerve fibers

C  nerve fibers in the brain will cause Alzheimer’s .disease

D  when one suffers from Alzheimer’s .disease, he will be buried.

Every people uses its own special words to describe things and express ideas . some of these expressions are commonly used for many years. Others are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is “Where’s the beef ?”. It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early 1980s, “Where’s the beef ?” was one of the most popular expression in the United States. It seemed as if everyone was using it all the time.

Beef , of course , is the meat from a cow, and probably no food is more popular in America than the hamburger made from it. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray Kroc began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. Kroc called his restaurant “McDonald’s”. Kroc cooked hamburgers quickly so people in a hurry could buy and eat them without waiting. By the end of the 1960s the McDonald’s Company was selling hamburgers in hundreds of restaurants from California to Maine. Not surprisingly , Ray Kroc become one of the richest businessmen in America.

Other business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company, called “Wendy’s”, began to compete with McDonald’s. Wendy’s said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald’s or anyone else. The Wendy’s Company created the expression “Where’s the beef ?” to make people believe that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest. It produced a television advertisement to sell this idea. The Wendy’s television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a tiny bit of meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef. “Where’s the beef ?” she shouted in a funny voice. These advertisements for Wendy’s hamburger restaurants were a success from the first day they appeared on television. As we said, it seemed everyone began using the expression “Where’s the beef ?”　　

64.What does the expression “ Where’s the beef ?” mean?

A  The beef is lost.　　 B　The beef is not as good as it is said to be

C  Something is not as good as described　　D　The food has turned bed.

65.Wendy’s made the expression known to everybody by ___________.

A  a newspaper advertisement　　　B　writing letters to people

C  a TV advertisement　　　　　  D　a notice in front of the restaurant

66.Hamburgers are so popular in America because___________.

A  they are made from beef

B  they are cheaper than any other kind of food

C  they are the only fast food in America

D  they are served quickly and at a low price

67.Other people wanted to open hamburger restaurants because__________.

B  hamburgers are easy to make

C  they could sell hamburgers throughout the country　　

D  hamburgers are good to eat

Every year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport”. Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching, and only those few who take part　realize the cruelty and destruction.

The number of gunners , however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led a long way away by their gunning parents. They are subjected to advertisements of　gun producers who describe shooting as good for their health and gun carrying as a way of putting redder blood in the veins(血管). They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill. In school they view motion picture which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate (刺激) a desire to own a gun.

Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because of the loss of wildland habitat (栖息地). Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? There doesn’t seem to be any chance if the serious condition of our birds is not improved.

Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners alone. Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.

Now , it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we do and that three is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of dying can make nobody happy. If ,as they would have you believe, gun-carrying and killing improve human character, then perhaps we should encourage war.

68.According to the text, most people do not seem to be against hunting because_______ .

A  they have little knowledge of it　　

B  it helps to build human character

C  it is too costly to stop killing wildlife　

D  they want to keep wildlife under control

69.The underlined word “agony” in the last paragraph probably means ________.

A  from　　B　condition　　C　pain　 D　sadness

70.According to the text, the films children watch at school actually ________

A  teach them how to deal with guns safely　

B  praise hunting as character-building

C  describe hunting as an exercise　　　　 

D  encourage them to have guns of their own

71.It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to ________

A  blame the majority of people　　　

B  worry about the existence of wildlife

C  be in favour of war　　　　　　　

D  be in support of character-building

Monarch butterflies(黑脉金斑蝶) are a common summer sight in the northern United States and Canada. These larges orange and black insects brighten parks and gardens as they fly lightly among the flowers. What makes monarchs particularly interesting is that they migrate(迁飞) ---all the way to California or Mexico and back. They are thought to be the only insect that does this.

Every year in the late summer monarchs begin their journey to the south. Those heading for Mexico go first for the Louisiana-Mississippi area, then fly across the Gulf of Mexico into Texas. Once in Mexico, they settle themselves in one of about fifteen places in a mountain forest filled with fir trees. Each place provides a winter home for millions of monarchs. The butterflies are so many that they often cover entire trees. When spring comes, they begin their long journey north.

The question is often asked whether every butterfly makes the round-trip journey every year. And the answer is no. the average monarch lives about nine months. So one flying north might lay eggs in Louisiana and then die. The eggs of that generation may be found in Kentucky；the eggs of next generation may end up in Wisconsin or Michigan. The last generation of the season, about the fourth, will make their way back to Mexico and restart the journey.

Scientists learn about monarchs’ migration by catching and making marks on the insects. By reaching a monarch with such a mark and noticing where it came from, the next scientist can get to know things like the butterfly’s age and its routing(路线).

72.One of the places where monarchs spend the winter is _________.

A  the Gulf of Mexico　B　an area in Mississippi　

C  a forest in Mexico　D　a plain in Texas　　

73.Which of the following is not true?

A  Every years in the early summer monarchs begin their journey to the south.

B  Not every butterflies makes the round –trip journey every year.

C  Monarch butterflies are the only insect that migrates.

D  Monarch butterflies begin their long journey north in spring

74.The routing of monarchs’ migration can be learned ________.

A  by examining the marks made on them

B  by collecting their eggs in the mountains

C  by comparing their different ages

D  by counting the dead ones in the forest

75.What is the subject discussed in the passage ?

A  Migration of monarchs

B  Scientists’ interest in monarchs.

C  Winter home of monarchs

D  Life and death of monarchs

After the college entrance examination，some students would like to have a trip，because they think the blue sky and the charming scenery can make them relax. Some others prefer to stay at home to read some famous books，which they have been longing for. And also there are some students who intend to observe and learn from real life. They consider that they will really step into society after passing the collage entrance examination. As for me，I plan to learn a skill such as driving，which I think will be useful in the future.
