There once was a King who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists _31_. The King looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he _32_ liked and he had to _33_ between them.

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，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

The famous American gorilla (大猩猩) expert Diane Fossey had a completely new way to study gorillas — she pretended (假装) to be one of them. She copied their actions and way of life — eating plants and getting down on her hands and knees to walk the way a gorilla does. It was a new relationship.

Diane Fossey was murdered in Rwanda in 1985 and her story was made into the popular film Gorillas in the Mist. It was a long way from King Kong, which is about a gorilla as a monster (a frightening animal), and helped to show a new idea: the real monster is man, while the gorilla is to be admired (仰慕；钦佩).

Today there are thought to be around 48,000 lowland gorillas and maybe 400 — 500 mountain gorillas in the wild. From the Congo in West Africa, to Rwanda and Uganda further east, they are endangered (put in a situation in which they could be harmed or damaged) by hunting and by the cutting down of their forest homes.

Some time ago, I found in my letterbox a little magazine from the World Wide Fund for Nature. It had two photos side by side. One was of a young gorilla. “This is a species (物种) of mammal (哺乳类动物),” said the words below it. “It is being destroyed by man. We must save it for our own good.” The other photo showed a human baby. The words also read: “This is a species of mammal,”but then went on: “It is the most destructive (破坏性的) on earth. We must retrain it for its own good.”

51. The text mainly talks about _________ .

A. Diane Fossey

B. the gorillas in Rwanda

C. the protection of the gorillas

D. the film Gorillas in the Mist

52. The expert Diane Fossey is mentioned to ____________________.

A. show the differences between ways of study gorillas

B. show that she was smarter than others

C. introduce the popular film Gorillas in the Mist

D. introduce the topic of protecting gorillas

53. We can learn from the text that _____________ .

A. Gorillas in the mist was based on Fossey?s experiences

B. lowland gorillas live longer than mountain gorillas

C. King Kong showed us that a gorilla is admirable

D. Diane Fossey was murdered by a gorilla

54. What message can we get from the two photos in the magazine?

A. Gorillas are man?s close friends.

B. Both man and the gorilla need to be saved.

C. Young gorillas are as lovely as human babies.

D. Man should live peacefully with the gorilla.

The Americans believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent Hollywood comedy (喜剧), that is exactly what happens.

Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical (典型的) American way of life, except for one thing —he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nation?s leader is that he is very nice!

The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever (永远).

Director (导演) Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive (吸引人的) comedy about an ordinary (平凡的) man in extraordinary (非凡的) situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance (表演) as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic (经典).

The film is 100% American. However, if you?ve ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then you?ll enjoy Dave!

55. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To tell the reader about the American government.

B. To discuss the Americans? ideas about the President.

C. To make a comparison (比较) between Dave and other films.

D. To introduce a new film to the reader.

56. Who plays the role of the President in the film?

A. Ivan Reitman.

B. Kevin Kline.

C. Bill Mitchell.

D. Sigourney Weaver.

57. The underlined word “one” in the 3rd paragraph refers to .

A. the President

B. the director

C. an actor

D. a look-alike

58. Which of the following is best supported (证实) by the text?

A. The author (作者) makes fun of the President.

B. The author thinks highly of the film.

C. The author is a fan of Hollywood comedies.

D. The author wishes to become the American President.

Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a

boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources (来源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.

For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump (抽出) water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.

During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

59. From the text we know that windmills _________________.

A. were invented by European armies

B. have a history of more than 2,800 years

C. used to supply power to radio in remote areas

D. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered

60. What was a new use for wind power in the late l9th century?

A. Sailing a boat.

B. Producing electricity.

C. Grinding wheat into flour.

D. Pumping water from underground.

61. One of the reasons why wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that ___________________.

A. wind power is cleaner

B. it is one of the oldest power sources

C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind

D. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs

62. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A. The advantages of wind power.

B. The design of wind power plants (风力发电厂).

C. The worldwide movement to save energy.

D. The global trend (趋势) towards producing power from wind.

Songs that make our hearts happy can make them stronger too, US researchers reported on Tuesday.

They found that when people listened to their favorite music, their blood vessels（血管）dilated in much the same way as when they are laughing, or taking blood medications.

“We have a pretty impressive effect,” said Dr Michael Miller, director of preventive cardiology （心脏病学）at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore.

“Blood vessel diameter improved,” he said. “The vessel opened up pretty significantly. You can

see the vessels opening up with other activities such as exercise.” A similar effect is seen with drugs such as statins.

When blood vessels open up more, blood flows more smoothly and is less likely to form the clots（凝块）that cause heart attacks and strokes. “We are not saying to stop your statins or not to exercise but rather to add this to an overall program of heart health,” said Miller, who presented his findings to a meeting of the American Heart Association in New Orleans.

Miller's team tested 10 healthy, non-smoking men and women, who were told to bring their favorite music. They spent half an hour listening to the recordings and half an hour listening to music they said made them feel anxious while the researchers did some tests designed to show blood vessel function.

Compared to their normal baseline measurements, blood vessel diameter increased 26 percent on average when the volunteers heard their joyful music. Listening to music they disliked — in most cases in this group heavy metal — blood vessels narrowed by six percent, Miller said.

Miller said he came up with the idea after discovering that laughter caused blood to literally flow more smoothly. “I asked myself what other things make us feel really good, besides calories from dark chocolate of course. Music came to mind. . . . It makes me feel really good,” he said.

Most of the volunteers chose country music but Miller said the style is not so important rather than what pleases each individual.

63. The underlined word dilate（in paragraph 2）is closest in meaning to “_______”.

A. widen

B. move

C. change

D. increase

64. According to the passage, which of the following will NOT cause blood vessels to open up?

A. Taking exercise.

B. Listening to unpleasant music.

C. Bursting into laughter.

D. Taking drugs like statins.

65. It can be inferred from the passage that ________________.

A. blood clots are caused by heart attacks and strokes

B. music is better than chocolate for your health

C. the style of music has different effects on different people

D. a person?s overall health is more influenced by how much exercise he gets

66. What?s the best t itle of the passage?

A. Pleasant Music Cures

B. Research into Blood Vessel

C. Music and Heart Attack

D. Music and Happiness

One day, my friend Jimmy told me a story. Farmer Joe was in his cart when he was hit by a truck．He decided his injuries from the accident were serious enough to take the trucking company (which caused the accident) to court.

Farmer Joe said, “Well, I had just got Bessie into the cart and I was driving down the road．．．”The lawyer interrupted again and said, “Judge, I am trying to make clear the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the police on the scene that he was just fine．Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to cover the fact．I believe he is telling lies．Please tell him to simply answer the question.”

By this time the Judge was fairly interested in Farmer Joe?s answer and said to the lawyer, “I?d like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule Bessie.”

Joe thanked the Judge and went on, “Well, as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the cart and was driving her down the road when this huge truck ran into the stop sign and pushed my cart right in the side．I was thrown into one side and Bessie was thrown into the other.”

“I was hurt so badly that I didn?t want to move．However, I could hear old Bessie breathing loudly and groaning (呻吟). I knew she was in great pain．Shortly after the accident a traffic policeman came to the scene．He could hear Bessie groaning so he went over to her．After he looked at her, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes．Then the patrolman came across the road with his gun and looked at me．He said, “Your mule was in such pain that I had to shoot her.

One possible version:

In China children are the centre of each family. All parents wish their children, especially senior high students, could go to top universities and have a bright future. So they always expect their children to make full use of their time to study. They don't allow them to watch TV, play the computer games or go out to play with their friends. Some students just complain that their parents are only concerned about their grades and not their other needs.

In my opinion, our parents are responsible for us. Perhaps they are sometimes too strict with us, but what they are doing is out of nothing but love. The most important thing, I think, is that we should learn to communicate with them. Find the right time for a talk, telling them that you'll never let them down and will work harder to earn trust and respect from them.
