Part III Reading Comprehension (2.5 points each, 50 points in all)
Directions: After reading the following passages, you will find questions or unfinished statements. for each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Task 1
Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Now, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.
I would consider bungee jumping (蹦极) to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place 200 meters above the ground with an elastic (弹性的) rope tied to your feet. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people around the world have now tried bungee include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs.
Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people's lives were constantly in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival.
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live ad work in quite safe conditions; they buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.
46. Of the risky activities, bungee jumping________.
A. offers an immediate excitement
B. is a fashion
C. makes one relaxed
D. makes one brave
47. In bungee jumping, you ______.
A. jump as high as you can
B. slide down a rope to the ground

48. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. About 200,000 people in the world have tried bungee jumping.
B. In order to keep one safe, a rope is tied to the feet of the jumper.
C. Diving into the sea from the top of the cliffs is much more dangerous than bungee jumping.
D. Many people nowadays feel life dull because they haven't tried bungee jumping.
49. The writer of the passage has a ______attitude towards dangerous sports.
A. positive
B. negative
C. neutral
D. critical

In spite of all stories of prosperity in the United States, not only does poverty exist there, but crimes of various types have been increasing at alarming rate. Most acts of violence were committed by young people .57% of the criminals arrested in 1979 were youths below 25 of age.
Everyone agrees that crime is party a result of bad material conditions: poverty, lack of education, living without a settled home, being parentless, sufferings from other kings of misfortune, etc.

Task 3
We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons;most of them move to find food more easily, but others move get away form places that are too corwded.
When cold weather comes,many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(迁移) is probably the migration of the fish, which is called “salmon”.This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go .
So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.
56. The majority of animals migrate for______.
A. place
B. safety
C. Food
D.warmth
57. Salmon is known as a creature spending most of its life in _______.
A.they are short of food

D.it’s getting coldier in the mountains
58. The reason why the lobsters migrate is _______.
A. the bad weather
B. the depth of the ocean
C. s cientist’lack of interest
D. unkown
60. The passage is mainly about _______.
A, living things on the moove B. the most famous migration C. mice in northern Europe D. migration of lobsters
Task 4
You can tell age of a tree by counting its rings.But these records of a tree’s life really say a lot more. Scientists are using tree rings to learn what’s been happening on the sun’s surface for the last ten thousand years. Each ring represents a year of growth. As the tree grows, it adds a layer to its trunk, taking up chemical elements from the air. By looking at elements in the rings from a certain year, scientists can what elements were in the air that year. Dr.Stevenson is analyzing one element, carbon-14, in rings from both living and dead trees. Some rings go back almost ten thousand years to the end of the Ice Age. When Stevenson followed the carbon-14 track back in time, he found carbon-14 levels changed with the intensity of solar buring.You see,the sun has cycles.Sometimes it burns fiercely, and at other times it’s relatively calm. During the sun’s violent periods, it throws off charged formation of carbon-14 on earth. When there is more solar wind activity, less carbon-14 is produced. Ten thousand years of tree rings show that the carbon-14 level rises and falls about every 420 years. The scientists concluded that solar wind activity must follow the same cycle.
61. The purpose of the scientists in studying tree rings is to _______
A. examine the chemical elements in the Ice Age
B.look into the pattern of solar wind activity
C. analyze the pattern of solar wind activity
D.find out the origin of carbon-14 on earth
62. What effects the amount of carbon-14 on earth
A The lifecycle of trees . B.The number of trees C The intensity of solar burning D The quality of air.
63. When the sun burns fiercely, __________carbon-14 is produced.
A.less
B. more C no D much
64.The underlined p harse “throw off” probably means ______.
A give away
B cast
C send for D.get rid of
65.What do we learn from the passage about solar wind activity?
A.It affects the growth of trees.
B.It has been increasing since the Ice Age.
C.It is determined by the chemicals in the air.
D. It follows a certain cycle.

49.【解析】 C本题是推理推断题。根据本文最后一段可知，作者认为“对于很多人来说，现在的生活太过死气沉沉。大家生活、工作在相当安全的环境中。”所以作者是以中立的观点来看待危险运动的。

a death penalty but some not.”可知正是由于高犯罪率，有些州才允许死刑这种刑罚存在。
54.【解析】 A本题是事实细节题。根据“even crhildren know how to duplicate what they have。een o。，ead.”可知作者最担心的是孩子们可能会模仿他们看到或读到的有关犯罪的行为。所以答案选A。
55.【解析】 A本题是词语理解题。根据该句“In the first place，some state laws provide
a death penalty but some not.（首先，一些州有关于死刑的惩罚措施而另一些州没有。）”可知penalty意为“处罚，惩罚”。
56.【解析】 C 本题是事实细节题。根据“most of them move to find food more easily”,可知动物的迁徙主要是为了寻找食物。
57.【解析】 D本题是事实细节题。根据“The most famous migration（迁移）is…travels many mile。to salt water”，可知大马哈鱼会穷其一生从淡水河迁往海中。

62.【解析】 C本题是事实细节题。根据“During the sun's violent periods，．”interfere with the formation of carbon-14 0n earth.”可知影响地球上碳-14数量的因素是太阳风的强弱。
63.【解析】 A 本题是推理推断题。由上题可知当遇到强烈的太阳风时，碳-14的数量就会减少。
64.【解析】 D 本题是词语理解题。根据“During the sun's violent periods, ...called ‘solar winds’.可知，在太阳活动剧烈期大量的粒子流会摆脱束缚而形成太阳风。give away意为“赠送，送出”；cast意为“投，掷，抛”；send for意为“派人去请”；get rid of意为“摆脱，除去”。
65.【解析】 D 本题是主旨大意题。文章最后一句点出主题“The scientists concluded that solar wind activity must follow the same cycle.”可知，科学家得出的结论是太阳风的活动遵循一定的周期。由此可以判断本题应选D。

【解析】本句是一个非限制性定语从句，翻译时注意汉语的表达习惯。“electronic device”译为“电子装置”，make life easier for the people应译为“使人们的生活更加方便”。
68.【翻译】我厂生产的洗衣机重量轻、体积小、质量好。

Secondly, chattinS; with friends online can help to broaden one' s vision.
However, other people believe that the disadvantages of making friends online outweigh its
