三． Reading Comprehension(1-8每小题1.5分，9-17每小题2分，共计30分) : Read the following passages and then choose the right answer to each of the questions given:

Passage One

I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.

There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.

Just at this moment she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot(地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.

While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother’s love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring (吼叫) all the time, but to her calf it was music.

1. The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw _____, A. the calf was about to fall into the river B. Ma Shwe was placing the calf on the rock C. the calf was washed away by the rising water

D. Ma Shwe was holding the calf against the rushing water

2. How did Ma Shwe manage to save her calf from the fast-flowing water? A. By putting it on a safe spot. B. By pressing it against her body. C. By taking it away with her. D. By carrying it on her back. 3. How did the calf feel about the mother elephant’s roaring? A. It was a great comfort. B. It was a sign of danger. C. It was a call for help. D. It was a musical note.

4. What can be the best title for the text? A. A Mother’s Love C. A Deadly River

Passage Two

We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it’s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections (感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals,” says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.

It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are; we’re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them,” says Isaksen.

“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing,” says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful (有害的). Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.

5.From paragraph one we can say that the pet sold at the shop may _________. A. come from Columbia B. prevent us from being infected C. enjoy being with children D. suffer from monkey-pox 6. Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets? A. They attack human beings. B. We need to study native animals. C. They can’t live out of the rain forest. D. We do not know much about them yet.

7. What does the phrase “the wake-up call” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. a new disease

B. a clear warning

B. A Brave Act

D. A Matter of Life and Death

学 海 无 涯

C. a dangerous animal D. a morning call 8. The text suggests that in the future we _______. A. may have to fight against more new diseases B. may easily get infected by diseases from dogs C. should not be allowed to have pets D. should stop buying pets from Africa

Passage Three

Read the following passage and then answer the questions given:

Computer programmer David Jones earns ￥35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card (信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David’s firm releases (推出) two new games for the fast throwing computer market each month.

But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage (抵押贷款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,” he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.

“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.” David added: “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.” 9. In what way is David different from people of his age?

_____________________________________________________________________ 10. What is one of the problems that David is facing now? why?

___________________________________________________________________ 11. Why was David able to get the job in the company?

____________________________________________________________________ 12. Why did David decide to leave school and start working?

Passage Four

Read the following passage and then fill in the blanks to finish each of the sentences: Physed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum(核心课程)， but with a difference. While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance. In this way，kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life. Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often \"put P.E. on the chopping block, cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered,\" says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids. The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard. \"Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum,\" she added.

The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have demonstrated how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country than when they played sports. The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because reluctant students were able to sit on the bench. Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a tiny percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teaches sells that contribute to adulthood.

14. In the new P.E. program, children learn to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance rather than ___________________.

15. As for P.E., some school boards either ____________. 16. What are the two problems with simply teaching group sports?
