三．阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
A
In the late 1960's,many people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems, and new steel-and-glass skyscrapers were widely criticized. Ecologists pointed out that a forest of tall buildings in a city often overburdens public transportation and parking lots.
Skyscrapers are also consumers and wasters of electric power.In one recent year, the addition of 17 million square feet of skyscrapers office space in New York City raised the peak daily demand for electricity by 120,000 kilowatts--enough to supply the entire city of Albany, New York, for a day.
Glass-walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful. The heat loss ( or gain) through a wall of half-inch plate glass is more than ten times that through a typical brick wall filled with insulation (绝缘) board. To lessen the strain on heating and
air-conditioning equipment,builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double-glazed panels of glass, and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that reduce glare(眩目的光) as well as heat gain.
However, mirror-walled skyscrapers raise the temperature ofthe surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings.
Skyscrapers put a strain on a city's sanitation facilities(卫生设备),too. If fully occupied,the two World Trade Center towers in New York City would alone produce 2.25 million gallons of wastes each year-as much a city the size of Stanford, Connecticut, which has a population of more than 109,000.
Skyscrapers also affect television reception,block bird flyways and air traffic, In Boston in the late 1960's, some people even feared that shadows from skyscrapers would kill the grass on Boston Common. Still ,people continue to build skyscrapers for all the reasons that they have always built them-personal pride and the desire of owners to have the largest possible amount of space to rent.
36. The main purpose of the passage is to __
A. compare skyscrapers with other modern structures
B. describe some architectural designs of skyscrapers
C. describe skyscrapers and their effect on the environment
D. encourage using bricks in the construction of skyscrapers
37. According to the passage, what is one disadvantage of skyscrapers that have mirrored walls?
A. The surrounding air is heated.
B. Construction time is increased.
C. The windows must be cleaned daily.
D. Extra air-conditioning equipment is needed.
38. According to the passage, in the late 1960's some residents of Boston were
concerned with which aspect of skyscrapers?
A. The noise from their construction.
B. The high cost of renting an office.
C. The harmful effects on the city's grass.
D. The removal of trees from building sites.
39. The author raises problems that would most concern which of the following groups?
A. Pilots .
B. Electricians.
C. Environmentalists.
D. Construction workers
B
Art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures. The increasingly popular “ design museums”that are opening today, howeve r, perform quite a different role. Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easilyfound by the general public. These museums sometimes even placethings like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall.
People have argued that design museums are often made useof as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales--it is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale.
One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-preduced products work and look as they do, and how design has improved the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding.
In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public's growing interest in the field with new ideas. London's Design Museum,for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such
exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life.
40. Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they __
A. show more technologic~Llly advanced products
B. help increase the sales of products
C. show why the products have sold well
D. attract more people than store windows do
41. The author believes that most design museum visitors.
A. do not admire maes-preduced products
B. are puzzled with technological exhibits
C. dislike exhibits in art museums
D. know the exhibits very well
42. The choices open to design museums __
A. are not as strict as those to art museums
B. are not aimed to interest the public
C. may fail to bring some pleasure to visitors
D. often contain precious exhibits
43. The best title for this passage is .
A.The Forms of Design Museums
B.The Exhibits of Design Museums
C.The Nature of Design Museums
D.The Choice Open of Design Museums

Experts have put forward detailed plans for a tunnel to join Taiwan with the Chinese mainland．
The shortest proposed route wonld be 126 kilometers—more than twice the length 0f the Endish Channel Tunnel．And the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers．
A recent conference in xiamen，Fujian Province brought together more than 70 experts．The event was co一sponsored(共同发起)by universities from Taiwan and the Chinese mainland．Fujian is the province where both proposed mutes would begin．
There is no direct passenger access(通道)between the mainland and Taiwan by air or sea at the moment．
Experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later，althongh there is a lack 0f government funding(资金)．There are no technical problems t0 build a Taiwan tunnel．But it will require an improved political relationship across the Straits．
A professor 0f TsinghHa University said，“A special feature 0f huge projects is that the period of preparation is longer than the period 0f construction．”
For example，he said，the Endish channel Tunnel took 14 years 0f planning and had been discussed for two centuTies．And
preparations for the huge Three Corges(三峡)dam on the Yangze River began in the 1950s．
The xiamen conference focused on the longest southern route，which would use the Taiwan-controlled islands of Jinmen and Penghu as stepping_stones.
The first stage 0f the new project could be a bridge to cross the five kilometers between Xiamen and Jinmen．This would mean that traveling from Xiamen to Jinmen by car would only take five minutes．
The longest tunnel now being planned anywhere in the world is the 54-kilometer land tunnel to link Lyon in France with Turin in Italy．The tunnel will not be completed until 2015-2020．

SHANGHAI--The Shanghai World Financial Centre will be
the tallest land-mark in the world after its completion this century in Pudong, according to the project's Japanese investors.
The building will be located in the prime Lujiazui Zone in
Pudong , on a 30,000-square-metre site. The building was originally designed to be a 94-floor office tower with a height of 460 metres.
The project broke ground in 1997 but was later halted as a
result of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia.
“As the economy warms up, we are more confident about
Shanghai and the whole China and we are working hard to get the
Project restarted as soon as possible,” said Katsuyuki Takeuchi,
vice-president and general manager of the Shanghai World
Financial Centre Company.
Its parent company, Japan-based Moil Building Co. Ltd,
established the Shanghai subsidiary as the opreator responsible for this ambitious project. The design, which is undergoing revision in apan, will accommodate international high-tech businesses,
department stores, art galleries, clubs and a five-star hotel. Unlike the gloomy economies of the United States, Europe and Japan, China enjoys a strong growth with brighter prospects, Takeuchi said.
More capital and businesses are expected to flow into
Shanghai, which aims to become a world centre for trade and the
financial industry--with Lujiazui as its showpiece.
The layout of Luijiazui includes three tall buildings, one of
which is the completed Jinmao Tower, each rising above 400
metres, as designed by local government after holding an international design competition early last decade.
Other buildings nearby fall in height gradually, creating a
special shape against the skyline. The Shanghai World Financial
Centre will be built as the peak of the mountain.
“The peak will be safe thanks to the perfect design,advanced
technology and the stable social and political environment in
Shanghai,” Takeuchi said, reassuring those who might be anxious
about the safety of the soon-to-be world's tallest building.
52. Why is the Shanghai World Financial Center to be built? :
A. Because it is by the bank of the Changjiang River.
B. Because it is going to be the highest building in China.
C. Because the economy of China is of a better future than of other countries.
D. Because the builders in Shanghai could be sure of the quality of the building.
53. Seen from a long distance,the Lujiazui Zone looks like a(an)
A. apple
B. mountain
C. box
D. basin
54. Why will the Shanghai World Financial Center be of great safety?
A. Because it will be the peak of a mountain.
B. Because its design and technology are of the top levels.
C. In Shanghai there is a stable social and political environment.
D.B and C.
55. Which of the following has the same meaning as the sentence“... reassuring those who might be anxious about the safety of the soon-to-be world's tallest building”
A. Comfort the people so that they won't worry about the safetyof the peak.
B. Tell the people the tallest building will be finished soon.
C. Advise people not to be anxious about the building until it is finished.
D. Make sure that the building will be built in Shanghai.

Unit3 知识与能力同步测控题
1．A it指代计算机；人们让计算机做事情，所以d0的逻辑主语就是计算机(it)，那魔作为宾语补足语的形式用动词原形即可。’
2．D本句含"with+宾语+宾补”句型，因为一remain为不及物。
动词，所以没有过去分词形式作宾补及定语用法，所以表示“剩下的”时，用remaining即可。
3．C Mr!Smith是被人看到被车撞倒，所以作宾补的应是过去分词形式。后一分句由and连接，独立成句，所缺成分作谓语动词。
4．B be used to doing sth．表示“习惯于做某事”，当它作宾语补足语时．be 动词去掉即可。、
5．D“she had”作定语从句，修饰“洗衣机”；洗衣机是让别人修理，所以应用被动语态作宾补。
6．A 中包含句型would rather do sth than do sthl．。
7．A表示“举例子”用take…for example；第二空表示Lucy 提高嗓音以便让她自己被别人听见。
8．A若选B、D则成了“成功是较容易”，不符合题意。it一般要代替不定式，
但本题中无不定式。who引导的定语从句只修饰women，而for the women作本句的状语，所以只能选意义完整的A项作为答案。
9．D该结构的难点在于应用哪一种形式作宾补。本题中的“小偷被带来了，他的双手是被人绑在身后”，所以应用过去分词形式作宾补。
lO．A catch up witll表示“跟上；赶上”，come up with表示“提出”，keep up with 表示“跟上”，均不符合语境体现出来的“我的确容忍不了她”。
11．B从句意及用法看，后者表示的是递进关系，所以用副词besides .
12．A “did well”与后半句的“不时地做兼职工作”之间是让步关系。
13．B turn 0ff表示“关闭；使人厌倦”，set free表示“释放”，bring into表示“使进入某种状态”。语境表示“当她见到失踪的儿子时候，心头多么大的负担被卸掉了啊!” feel a great weight taken off是其正常语序。
14．D当表示“有条件成为……(人或物)”时，用make表示。又如：She will mke a good wife．她将会成为一位好妻子。
15．D fumiture表示家具的总称，是个不可数名词，不可由a great many，a number of等词修饰，也无复数形式。
16．A此处指建房的第一步(step)是选择一块合适的土地。
17．C此处指建房选择土地。不是选大、小土地，而是选合适的土地。。
18．B “选址”这个选择取决于很多东西。
19. D 一般要选择阳光充足，周围环境优美的地方。
20．B 现在指下一步该干什么。
21. C 就在此空后面有the builder，所以本空指选一个好的建筑师。
22．A 从下文the builder will draw the plan可知。
23．C it指代建筑图纸，它的上面是标明了各自的位置。
24．D 图纸上标的是房间数、房间的大小及位置等。
25．C 一座房子不仅仅只有房间，还有其他的部分。
26．B 这些部分比如说(such as)，有门、窗、电线等部分。举出部分例子用such as。
27．A 此处指建筑师也会帮你算出建房要多少钱。
28．C 这些材料得花费多少钱。
29．B 指其他的建房需要的一切。
30．C 此时的预算只是依当时存在的价钱算的，所以在以后的日子会有浮动。
31．D 由下文的the time…与the time…可知指两段时间之间。
32．C指作预算的时间与做房子时的两个时间。
33．B 当然指价钱要得太高的话，你可能换个建筑师。
34．C add．．．t0为习语，表示“把……添加到……上去”。
35. A 两句话(建筑师的估计取决于计划、计划取决于建筑师的估计)之间存在对比转折关系。
36．C本文主要记叙摩天大楼及其对环境的影响。
37．A 从第三段最后一句话中的raise the temperature可以推出。
38．C本题是个细节理解题。从第五段最后一句话可知。
39．C从36题可知，摩天大楼对环境产生极大的影响，因为与此最相关的人当然是环境学家了。
40．C从第二段内容可知。
41．D普通博物馆似乎拒人于千里之外，但大多数参观“设计博物馆”的人十分喜欢这种形式，那么对展品就不太陌生,甚至很了解了。
42．A见最后一段第三句话。
43．C nature此处指“本性、特征”。而不是指自然。因此“设计博物馆的特性”便是最好的标题了。
44．A答案可以从第一段知道。
45．B倒数第二段第一句提供了答案。
46．B见第五段内容。其余三个选项均与文中事实不符。
47．C第一段告诉读者，埃及政府经过多年的筹划，现在宣布将建造世界上最大的古文物博物馆。随后讲了该博物馆的作用、特点以及筹款方式等。所以C 项才能恰当地反映文章主题。
48．D 题目的意思是指现在世界上最长的已经建成的隧道。英吉利海峡隧道并没有在文章中提到是否是最长的；根据文章的最后一段，法国到意大利的海峡隧道还未建成；台湾海峡隧道虽是文章介绍的主题，但还在计划之中，所以文章没有告诉我们答案。
49．D 英吉利海峡隧道的例子在第八段，主要是为了证明第七段的观点。
50．A文章只提到计划是台湾和大陆的大学发起，没有提到国外的大学，故A项不对；B项不能只看文章最后一段提到法国至意大利的海峡隧道是最长的，而the project(台湾海峡隧道)比它要长的多；c项在第五段提到；D项在第四段提到。
51．B 从第六段的But it will require and improved political relationship across the Straits．中"require(需要)”，说明这方面还是障碍；虽然第六段中提到A项，但句中用了although(尽管)这个词，可见资金方面不是主要问题；c项是文章一开始就说明已经完成的事项；D项从第六段There are no technical problems to build a Taiwan tunnel．得知，也是不成问题的。
52．c由第五段可知，与日本、美国、欧洲等相比，中国经济发展的潜力更大。
53．B由倒数第二段可知，陆家嘴金融区分三部分，中间高，四周低，nearby，gradually，in the middle是关键词。
54．D最后一段可知，在上海建造世界金融中心，有三个有利因素：完美的设计；先进的技术；安定的社会环境。
55．A在所给的四个选项中，唯有comfort与reassure(打消……的疑虑)最接近，其他三项均与文意不符。
56．去掉being 。is being called是现在进行时态的被动语态。此处应该用一般现在时。is called表示“被称为……”。
57．the改为a 。have a history of…为固定用法。
58．√。
59．when改为that。此处是强调句型。
60．在build前面加to。It is+adj．+to do sth．结构中，it为形式主语。动词不定式是真正的主语。
61．some改为any。without表示否定意义。
62．were改为was。work为不可数名词，谓语动词用单数形式。
63．hungry改为hunger。die 0f cold and hunger：死于寒冷和饥饿．。
64．interesting改为interest。习惯用法。a place 0f interest：名胜。风景。
