Whoever第三部分阅读理解（共２０小题；每小题２分，满分４０分）ＡToday, air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motorway, but there is the danger that grows every year. From the moment the airplane takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens.Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb, and when to come down. Air traffic controllers around a busy airport may handle 1,000 planes every day. Any plane that flies near an airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on their part may cause a disaster.Recently, such a disaster almost happened. Two large planes were flying towards the airport. One was carrying 69 passengers from Toronto. The other was carrying 176 passengers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He wanted to order one to turn to the right to climb, but he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from each other, the two planes turned towards each other. 15 seconds later, one plane flew directly in front of the other plane. They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was less than the length of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year.56. What is the function of the radar in flying?A. It directs the busy motorway.B. It sends messages to the pilot when it finds something unusual.C. It controls the direction of the plane.D. It observes every movement of the plane.57. Why does the author mention the near accident of the two large planes in this passage?A. To show a mistake of an air traffic controller.B. To prove that air travel is more dangerous than other means of transport.C. To give an example of the increasing danger of air travel.D. To tell people that planes shouldn’t get too close to each other.58. What’s the author’s attitude towards air travel?A. The author is satisfied with the safety of air travel.B. The author is a little worried about the safety of air travel.C. The aut hor doesn’t think air travel is safe.D. The author prefers to travel by car.ＢSo much to do, so little time. So much information, so little time to read it. In this age there is more information than ever before. There is not enough time to read everything we want to read. However, you can consume more information in shorter time through speed-reading.The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it. Don’t say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its importance. Later you will recognize clumps of four words or more to increase your speed. This is the first and most important step in speed-reading.The next step is technique. As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique. You should first be sitting up straight with your book flat on a horizontal (水平的) surface such as a table or a desk. Next, you should be able to see the entire page. This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words. Lastly, you should be focused. It is hard to read with a lot of noise. Find a quiet place to read. This will help your understanding of the text.You need something to guide your eyes while reading. You should use your finger. Move your finger smoothly across the page. Keep your eyes focused on the words as you recognize them while using your finger as a guide. This will increase your speed.The third step is practice. Practice makes perfect. Read using different techniques, but make sure you understand what you are reading.59. From the first paragraph, we know that _______.A. there is more limited information than ever beforeB. conditions ask people to use less time to know more informationC. people can read what they likeD. the less you read, the more time you will spend60. Which of the following shows the RIGHT time order for speed-reading according to the passage?a. Ask for more technique.b. Look at many words and recognize them.c. Practise more.A. c, a, bB. c, b, aC. b, a, cD. a, c, b61. The underlined part “you should be focused” in the third paragraph means that .A. a person should devote all his attention to readingB. your feelings will be hurt while readingC. a person should forget his difficulties while readingD. you should pay attention to your faults while reading62. To speed up your reading, you could .A. use something to guide your eyesB. say every word out loudC. know it is necessary to read quicklyD. underline some important words while readingＣNEW YORK (Reuters) —Global warming has cut about $5 billion worth of value from the world’s most commonly grown grains over 20 years, according to a new study.Warming temperatures from 1981 to 2002 cut the combined production of wheat, corn and other crops by 40 million tons per year. “Contrary to what most people think, this study shows that warming over the past two decades has already affected global food supply. The effect is not a faraway thing,” said Christopher Field, a co-author on the study, the first to estimate how much global food production has already been affected by climate change.Not every scientist agrees that agriculture is suffering from warmer temperatures. A UN report said warming is expected to turn the planet a bit greener by encouraging plant growth, but crops and forests may wilt beyond mid-century if temperatures keep rising.Average global production for several of the crops suffered from warmer temperatures, with production dropping by about 3-5% for every 1°F increase, the study said. Average global temperatures increased by about 0.7°F during the study period, with even larger changes in several regions.“If the past is an indication, agriculture will also suffer going forward,” Field said. “We expect future warming to continue to be a drag on grain production, like driving with the parking brake engaged.” The study said the cereal crops hit by global warming account for 55% of non-meat categories consumed by humans and they also contribute more than 70% of the world’s animal feed.“Fa rmers can adapt to warmer temperatures by changing crop planting times, the varieties they grow, or the locations used for each crop,” Field said. “In the past farmers have been very adaptable to environmental challenges, but adaptation to warming can take years.”63. It is commonly thought that global warming ______.A. will have a bad effect on human beings’ present lifeB. is something that will just affect the futureC. is becoming more and more seriousD. will soon lead to great decrease in food supply64. The underlined word “wilt” in the third paragraph probably means “______”.A. increaseB. grow tallerC. stay the sameD. grow badly65. According to Field, we can learn that ________.A. agriculture will not suffer a lot from global warmingB. grain production will increase despite global warmingC. grain production will be affected by global warmingD. farmers can increase crop production by changing crop planting times66. With global warming occuring, farmers _________.A. will have no way to protect their interestsB. should learn to adapt to environmental challengesC. need time to fight against it successfullyD. will give up the crops they have been growing for years67. This passage mainly tells us that __________.A. the future food supply will change with global warmingB. global warming reduces global food productionC. traditional agriculture will disappear due to global warmingD. global warming prevents the growth of plants and grainsＤYou may complain that there are too many tests on the way to college entrance, but an increasing number of students want to take one more. That is the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT, an American test for students who intend to apply for college admission.Chen Huanlu, aged 18, from Shandong Province took part in the SAT subject tests (SAT 2) in Hong Kong on June 2. She has also been scheduled to take the SAT reasoning test (SAT 1) in October.“I hope to study environmental engineering at an American university, where I may have more opportunities to get cutting-edge (前沿的) knowledge in this area,”said Chen.However, not all SAT test takers want to apply to American universities.“I wanted to see how I would do when faced with plenty of stress and also to evaluate (测评) my scholastic level by an American standard. The SATs made my school life more diverse,”said Senior 2 student Zhou Yuxiang from Sichuan Province.Zhou, aged 17, a top student in his school, was inspired by some of his friends. They have taken this test and been admitted to American universities, including Harvard and Yale. Last winter vacation he took a 20-day SAT course at Chengdu New Oriental School.“As I prepared for the test in the following months, I was forced to balance my everyday schedule better. Fortunately I was optimistic enough to have undergone the most difficult time,” he said.In May and June, Zhou flew alone to Hong Kong to sit for the SAT1 and SAT2.“They are both the standards which have been set for us to reach. What we should do more sensibly is to try harder to prepare for them. Survival of the fittest (适者生存) is true both in America and in China. That is something I have learnt beyond the SAT itself,” he said.68. The SAT is a test designed mainly for _________.A. Chinese students who want to go to college in AmericaB. American students who intend to apply for college admission in ChinaC. students who plan to apply for American universitiesD. students who want to learn about the survival of the fittest69. What can we learn about Chen Huanlu according to this passage?A. She doesn’t like the college entrance examination in China.B. She has taken part in both SAT 1 and SAT 2 in June.C. She is interested in environmental issues.D. She wants to get cutting-edge knowledge from SATs.70. By taking Zhou Y uxiang for example, the author wants to tell us that ________.A. all the students who take SATs intend to apply to American universitiesB. some SAT takers simply regard the SAT as a challengeC. he just takes the test for funD. SAT 1 and SAT 2 have something in common71. What do Chen Huanlu and Zhou Yuxiang have in common?A. They both took part in the SAT subject tests in Hong Kong.B. They are both students of Senior 2.C. Both of them attended a SAT course at New Oriental School.D. Both of them came from the top schools.ＥThe survey about childhood in the Third World shows that the struggle for survival is long and hard. But in the rich world, children can suffer from a different kind of poverty — of the spirit. For instance, in one Western country alone there are 14,000 attempted suicides every year by children under 15, and one child in five needs psychiatric (心理的) advice.There are many good things about childhood in the Third World. Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbours for example. In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between adults and children. But in most Third World villages, mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices. Instead, the child sees their mother and father, relations and neighbours working nearby and often shares in that work.A ch ild growing up in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community’s work: helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies —rather than through playing with water and sand in a kindergarten and keeping pets or playing with dolls.These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than Western children. Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky. Children in the rich world, on the other hand, are provided with a watch as one of the earliest signs of growing up, so that they can care along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows ...The Third World children do not usually have to stay indoors, still less in high-rise apartments. Instead of dangerous roads, “keep off the grass” signs and “don’t speak to strangers”, there is often a sense of freedom to study and play. Parents can see their children outside rather than observe them anxiously from ten floors up.Of course, twelve million children under five still die of hunger and disease every year. But childhood in the Third World is not all bad.72. According to the passage, the children in the Third World _________.A. live more happily than those in the rich worldB. face more problems than those in the rich worldC. have less trouble of the spirit than those in the rich worldD. are more often late for school than those in the rich world73. Children in the Third World know what time it is by ________.A. looking at a watchB. asking their parents and relativesC. looking at the positions of the sun or the moon in the skyD. watching TV shows74. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. children in the Third World often share in some work with their parentsB. children in the Third World have no sense of timeC. children in the Third World usually stay indoors instead of in high-rise apartmentsD. many children under ten still die of hunger and disease every year in the Third World75. This passage mainly talks about _________.A. the living conditions of children in the Third World and those in the rich worldB. the psychiatric problems of children in Western countriesC. the deaths caused by hunger and disease in the Third WorldD. the education of children in the Third World第四部分写作（共两节，满分３５分）第一节短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）With the development of industry, air pollution is getting76. ______increasing serious.
