第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
A
What is the most important day of your life? For many people the answer is your Wedding Day —the day when you marry another person and promise to live together as husband and wife for the rest of your lives.
Wedding celebrations differ from country to country — in China the bride wears red whilst in India the wedding can continue for three days. However, in Britain the bride wears white and wedding usually only lasts for one day.
In the UK it is possible to get married in a religious or civil ceremony. A religious ceremony takes place in a church. A civil ceremony, on the other hand, can be held in a registry office, in a hotel, or even on a boat!
On the day of the wedding the bride and groom are kept separate until the ceremony. It is said to be bad luck if the groom sees the bride in her dress before the wedding.
The bride arrives at the ceremony accompanied by her father and bridesmaids. He officially gives her away to her new husband. During the ceremony the happy couple exchange vows and give each other wedding rings which they will wear forever. At the end of the ceremony they kiss.
Afterwards they go outside where friends and family throw rice or confetti (婚礼中抛撒的五彩纸屑) over them. Then they go on to the reception where there is a lot
of food and drink. After the meal the father of the bride and the best man (男傧相，伴
郎) make speeches. Then the bride and groom take the first dance. It’s a lot of fun.
Finally, at the end of the party the newly-weds leave to go on honeymoon, usually to a very romantic destination.
56. What function is the first two paragraphs?
A. To tell us that we have most important day in our life.
B. To tell us that Wedding Day is the day when you marry another person and
promise to live together.
C. To attract readers’ attention to the topic—weddings in Britain.
D. To tell us that people hold weddings.
57. What does the underlined word “ newly-weds” (para.7) mean?
A. The newly-married couple
B. The bride
C. The bridegroom
D. The best man
58. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Wedding celebrations differ from country to country.
B. In Britain the bride wears white.
C. People all over the world pay a great deal of attention to Wedding Day.
D. In India the wedding can continue for three days.
59. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. People in Britain usually get married in a religious or civil ceremony.
B. On the wedding day, the bridegroom can’t see the bride in her dress.
C. The bride’s father will give her away to the bridegroom.
D. The bride and the bridegroom will take the first dance.

Foreign aid is an important part of international efforts to reduce poverty. The
United States Agency for International Development has an estimate of the amount
given since the early nineteen fifties. It says seventy countries have received more than one million dollars in payments and loans from western nations.
But does foreign aid work? Michael Radew is a researcher at the World Policy Institute in New York. He says foreign aid can lead to, in his words, “all the wrong economic policies that made those countries poor in the first place.” Minister Radew argues that it doesn’t help the majority of poor people in a country. Instead, he says, it strengthens the officials in power who are generally unelected.
Other experts say foreign aid has produced mixed results, depending on where and how the money is spent. They note successful examples like Taiwan and South Korea. The two have since become wealthy enough to give foreign aid themselves.
Steve Radelet is a researcher at the Center for Global Development in Washington, D. C. He says foreign aid is the least effective in countries like Somalia(索马里) and Haiti(海地) where governments are especially weak. And he says it is “highly risky” also in politically insecure(不可靠的) countries like Iraq and Afghanistan. But Steve Radelet says the world must continue to give money, even though some of it will disappear or be stolen.
United Nations experts agree that foreign aid faces difficulties in parts of the world without much democracy (民主). In southern Africa, poverty rates increased from forty-one percent in 1981 to forty-six percent in 2001.
The director of the Poverty Reduction Program at the World Bank notes the situation in sub-Saharan Africa. But Luca Barbone says foreign aid has done a lot to reduce poverty worldwide.
Yet because it is often stolen or misused, there are calls for new methods of giving. George Ayitey is a Ghanaian-born economics professor at American University in Washington. He says western countries should give less aid, but remove trade barriers so they import more goods from developing nations. Professor Ayitey also suggests that donor nations direct how they want their money spent.
60. According to Steve Radelet, why isn’t Haiti effective to receive foreign aid?
A. Because its government is not strong enough.
B. Because it is not secure in the countries.
C. Because it is rich enough in this country.
D. Because the money will be stolen in this country.
61 The writer mentions Taiwan and South Korea in the text to show ____.
A. no other countries can be wealthy except Taiwan and Korea
B. only Taiwan and Korea can be wealthy with foreign aid
C. if foreign aid is properly managed, it can make a country and an area wealthy
D. no more countries can be wealthy with foreign aid
62.Which of the following is the opinion of Luca Barbone?
A. How to spend the money for foreign aid should be directed by donor countries.
B. Foreign aid does help a lot to reduce poverty in the world.
C. The foreign aid must continue even if it doesn’t work.
D. Foreign aid leads those countries poor in the first place.
63.We can infer ____.
A. though with foreign aid some parts of the world become poorer
B. foreign aid calls for more proper methods to direct
C. westem countries should import more goods from developing countries
D. countries without much democracy can’t deal with foreign aid well
C
Mountains offer the high life
You’ve only been to one mountain, but you’ve traveled through four different countries!
It is in the Alps, the mountain range that spreads about 1,200 km across Austria, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and other countries in Europe. These mountains offer lots of exciting sports, cultures and food.
Sporting life
The Alps are sports heaven. There are activities for everyone, from beginners and onlookers to championship-level competitors.
During the summer, hiking in the Alps allows you to challenge yourself on endless trails(路线). And you needn’t climb the highest peaks to enjoy the freedom found in the silence of the woods. You can also find romance on a walk under a full moon, or enjoy the pleasures of a picnic in a sunny field full of wild flowers. Like to bike ? The Alps are home to many great trails with fast downhill rides—perhaps in the world’s most exciting terrain(地形).
Skiing is something that you can’t miss in the Alpine winter. Beginners can learn their skills with special lessons. The experts can experience complete freedom on wonderful slopes.
It’s possible to ski or ride for days, from village to village or from country to country. The land is so vast that you will never take the same slope twice. Once you have skied in the Alps, you will never be satisfied with any other mountains, ever.
Culture and arts
Here are friendly bars bursting with jazz music and world-famous operas and museum. The Alps are rich in history, tradition and culture. It would be impossible to describe all of the concerts, ballets and gallery（画廊）openings that happen during a single year. One of the best ways to experience the richness and depth of the artistic life is to attend any one of the many festivals.
Unique events include the Salzburg Festival, held in Salzburg, Austria. One of the most famous theatre and music festivals in the world, it runs from July through August.
Food and drink
The Alps can please every taste, with all sorts of dishes from Italian pasta (面食) to rich Austrian desserts. Vegetarians will be happy with wide variety of choices, while others will find it hard not to eat the creamy meat and mushroom-filled pies found in Switzerland. But everyone will appreciate the Alpine alcohol—either the fine wines in Italy, or the beers in Germany and Austria.
64. One thing that makes the Alps different from other mountains is that____.
A. even if you are not good at sports, you will have fun there
B. the Alps are rich in tradition and culture
C. you can get a glimpse of life in more than four different countries
D. you can enjoy a variety of sports, culture and food
65. What will everyone appreciate in the Alps?
A. Pies. B. Pasta dishes. C. Desserts. D. Alpine alcohol.
66. To get a deep understanding of Alpine arts, you’d better____.
A. go there in winter
B. visit all kinds of museums and theatres
C. go to the theatres and music festivals
D. find out all about the fairs and markets
67. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The Alps spreads across four countries.
B. Only when you climb the highest peaks can you enjoy the freedom of the Alps.
C. It’s possible to describe all of the artistic life in the Alps.
D. Everyone can get the food they like in the Alps.
D
The plastic identification (ID) cards carried by all Chinese citizens over 16 are to be replaced with electronic cards from 2005.
The new cards, which most people will have by 2005, contain a microchip(微芯片) on which personal information is stored. This can be checked against databases（资料库）kept by the government.
“ The information will be locked into the card so that people won’t be able to use false identities,” said Ren Tianbu, a security official in Shenyang.
China’s present plastic identity cards were introduced 17 years ago, and a similar system is used by many other countries. However, the information shown on a card differs from nation to nation. Most ID cards show the holder’s name, sex, date of birth
and photograph, as well as the card’s expiry（失效）date and number.
Germany, France and Spain all use ID cards, but there are some developed nations who dislike the idea. The US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Sweden and Britain are among those with no national ID card. However, some of the countries have ID cards for particular uses. For example, Australia and the United States use a driving licence to identify people.
Identity cards are introduced for a variety of reasons. Race, politics and religion were often at the heart of older ID systems. In recent years, though, ID cards have been linked to national information databases, which form the basis of how a government manages a country.
The US, Britain and some other countries are considering a national ID system as a way of preventing possible terrorist attacks.
However, such plans have been met with fierce resistance by those who believe identity cards work against human rights and individual privacy.
“ ID cards make us suspects(可疑人员), not citizens,” said UK human rights group Liberty.
68. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?
A. Those Chinese citizens over 16 can have an ID card.
B. The former Chinese ID card was plastic and the new one will be an electronic one.
C. The new Chinese ID card will be used by 2005.
D. The new Chinese ID card was introduced 17 years ago.
69. The information shown on an ID card of different countries __________.
A. is similar B. is the same
C has nothing in common
D. has something in common and something different
70. __________ use a driving licence to identify people.
A. Australia and the United States B. Canada and the United States
C. Australia and New Zealand D. Sweden and Britain
71. What is the best title of the article?
A. An ID card, a good way to identify terrorists
B. An ID card, a useful way to identify people
C. An ID card can be used to show how a government manages a country
D. New cards will keep your details safe
E
When he took office, George W. Bush, son of former president George Herbert Walker Bush, became the first son to follow his father into the White House since John Quincy Adams followed John Adams in the early 19th century.
Bush was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, the first child of George Herbert Walker Bush and Barbara Pierce Bush. Although George Herbert Walker Bush began his career in the oil industry, he finally served as a congressman (国会议员)，and vice (副的) president and president of the United States.
At the age of two, Bush moved with his parents from Connecticut to Odessa, Texas, where his father took up the oil business. After a year in Texas, the family moved to California for business reasons. A year later, the family returned to Texas and settled in Midland, where Bush lived from 1950 to 1959.
In 1959, again for business reasons, the family moved to Houston, Texas. In 1961, Bush left Texas and went to Andover, Massachusetts, to attend Phillips Academy, a boarding (寄宿) school that his father had also attended.
At Phillips, Bush played basketball, baseball, and football. He was best known for being head cheerleader. In 1964, he enrolled at Yale University in Connecticut; his father and grandfather had also attended Yale. At Yale, Bush was considered an average student, but he was popular with his classmates.
Bush graduated from Yale with a bachelor’s degree in history in 1968. Then he joined the Air National Guard and remained in the Guard until 1973. After earning his MBA from Harvard in 1975, Bush returned to Midland. Like his father, he first entered the oil industry as a “landsman”.
However. Bush’s oil companies never enjoyed great success. He took more interest in politics. He helped his father to become president and in 1994 he himself was elected governor of Texas.
In the summer of 1999, Bush began to run for the president of the USA and on January 20, 2001, George W. Bush, hand raised, took the oath (宣誓) of office to become the 43rd president of the US.
72. What does the writer intend to tell us in the first paragraph?
A. George W. Bush is the first son in American history to follow his father into the
White House.
B. George W. Bush is the first son of former president George Herbert Walker Bush.

D. is a very successful politician like his father
74. From the year when Bush was two to the year 1959, the Bush family moved ____ in all.

With the development of the Internet, more and more people tend to send electronic cards instead of paper ones at festivals`time. Compared with the traditional ones, electronic cards are more interesting and lively, for you can get not only pictures but also sound. Besides, it`s faster to send an electronic card and it can save money. There are many web sites on line where different varieties of cards are available. If none of these cards are of any interest to you, you can design cards of special styles. More importantly, with the popularity of electronic cards, less paper is used for making paper cards, which contributes to the environment protection.
