第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities.
??????We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these that are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied.
??????But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society.
41.?What we need in life is divided into _________ according to this article.
??????A. the basic necessities and luxury
??????B. many kinds of need such as food, clothing and houses
??????C. four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expense
??????D. the basic necessities and reliable income
42.?A person who gets the basic necessities must _______ according to the writer.
??????A. have a reliable income? ? ???B. learn how to please his manager
??????C. finish his work ahead the time? ??D. get a good education
43.?We all enjoy
??????A. having only reliable income.
??????B. having reliable income and extra income.
??????C. having nothing more than food and clothing.
??????D. having nothing more than reliable income.
44.?With time going on,
??????A. a luxury may change into a need which most people want to get.
??????B. the basic needs are getting smaller and smaller.
??????C. a luxury and the basic needs can be exchanged.
D. the basic needs can be changed into a luxury.

A recent study conducted by the Pine Street Foundation showed that a dog’s nose might have the ability to detect cancer. A dog’s nose, which was the “medical device” used as part of the research, is believed to be among the world’s most powerful olfactory(嗅觉的) sensors. The study was conducted with 169 subjects 55 of which had been diagnosed as having lung cancer, 31 have breast cancer and 83 control subjects——people without cancer. During the study, five professionally trained scent dogs were used to distinguish between the breath samples of cancer patients and those who were healthy. With an average of 90% accuracy, the research was deemed a success.
The Pine Street Foundation conducted its research on the belief that cancer cells give off a different type of metabolic(新陈代谢) waste product than normal cells. According to the study, the difference is so great that it can be detected by a dog’s sense of smell, including both early and late stages of the disease.
In the conclusion of the study the Pine Street Foundation said that even ordinary dogs might be trained to identify the presence of cancer with only a breath sample. The organization also said that dogs can recognize the disease with astonishing amount accuracy and, finally, that the dog’s detection was not hindered(妨碍) by the presence of age, smoking or stage of cancer.
The Pine Street Foundation plans to continue their research and is currently seeking funding to launch new studies.
49. If we want to add several different detecting examples to the passage, we should write them __________.
A．between paragraph 1 and paragraph 2 B．between paragraph 2 and paragraph 3
C．between paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 D．before paragraph 1 or after paragraph 4
50. The best title for this passage might be ______.
A．Dogs may smell cancer B．Why dogs can smell cancer
C．A Study on dogs’ special ability D．A study on breast cancer
51. Dogs can smell cancer because ____________.
A．they can detect faster than man B．their sense of smell is very sensitive
C．dogs metabolize the food slowly D．patients give off bad smell
52. People can know from the passage _________.
A．all dogs can be used to smell cancer
B．it’s not easy to find out cancer in the early stage
C．most of the research experiments are successful
D．dogs detect cancer by breathing and feeling
D
In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about a half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.
The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds even thousands of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat that is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counter-clockwise motion.
The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months.
Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea, the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.
53. When is an ordinary tropical storm called a hurricane?
A. When it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas. B. When it hits he coastline.
C. When it is more than 75 mils wide. D. When its winds reach 75 miles per hour.
54. What is the worst thing about hurricane?
A. The destructive effects of water. B. The heat they release.
C. That they last about nine days on the average. D. Their strong winds.
55. The counter-clockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about by .
the low-pressure area in the center of the storm B. the force of waves of water.
C. the trade winds D. the increasing heat
56. Apparently the word “downpour” in the fourth paragraph means .
A. heavy rainfall B. dangerous waves
C. the progress of water to the hurricane center D. the increasing heat

Peaceful Use of Space Resources Drives China’s Space Program
China’s successful launch of its second manned spacecraft Shenzhou-6 has drawn worldwide applause. It has become the third nation in the world capable of putting men into space.
It is widely believed home abroad that the latest progress made by China will surely improve national cohesiveness(内聚性) and make the country’s 1.3 billion people more confident in their future in terms of social and economic progress.
However, some people in and outside China describe China’s manned space program as a prestige project which yields little economic benefit.
They argue that billions of US dollars spent on the decade-old space program may be better used for poverty relief and education as millions of Chinese still have a poor living and many children cannot afford basic schooling. However, mankind does need to make use of space resources for sustainable human development.
Space technology has become increasingly important for the exploration and peaceful use of space resources due to the shrinking reserve of natural resources on the Earth.
Lunar reserve of isotope helium 3 is sufficient for human need for about 10,000 years, which is attractive to the mankind being troubled by high oil prices and limited oil reserve.
China has benefited from the dividend of its investment in space sector, Space technology has become an indispensable part of people’s daily life, such as weather forecast, telecommunications, disaster reduction, and resources prospecting.
Striving hard to feed its 1.3 billion people and more in the future, China has been developing improved species of crops on the basis of space technology, mostly through recoverable satellites and spacecraft.
Information obtained from Shenzhou-3 and Shenzhou-4 in Earth observation has been used for maritime(海上的) pollution control and desertification(沙漠化) control projects, which is useful for China and other parts of the world.
China has listed space technology and information technology among the country’s seven high-tech fields in its national high-tech research and development program initiated in 1986.
57. Which point of view may the author NOT agree to?
A. The successful launch is significant to the development of our country.
B. The successful launch proves that our space technology is advanced in the world.
C. Though the launch is successful, it benefits little in terms of economy.
D. It’s necessary to explore resources in space.
58.Some people think China’s manned space program yields little economic benefit as they think about the following EXCEPT _____.
A. here are many poor areas in China lacking supports
B. many children can’t go to school because of poverty
C. it will delay the progress of economy
D. it costs too much on the space program
59. Which supports the idea of the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Resources are shrinking all over the world.
B. There are enough useful resources for human use.
C. The mankind is worrying about less and less oil resource.
D. All above.
60. What does the underlined word perhaps mean in the 3rd paragraph?
A. Fame. B. Success. C. Failure. D. Pride.

参考答案及解析：
第一卷
1. B be on fire 和be taken to hospital皆为固定短语。分别意为“着火，失火”和“被送到医院”fire和hospital前都不加冠词。
2. A as well as 意为“同；和”as well 则意为“也；又”，常放在句尾，故可排除B,D两项；as well as 连接两个并列主语时，谓语动词根据第一个确定，因此可确定选A。
3. D as to 和instead of 是介词短语，而空后是动词原型，因此A,C不能选；other than 意为“除了；而非”，rather than 意为“宁愿……而不愿”从题意看应该是Sara宁愿乘飞机而不愿坐火车。
4. C leave sth. to sb. 把……留给……;leave sth. with sb.把……交转；委托给……。句意：你可以把便条转交给你在我办公室里遇到的任何人。
5. C burst表示“突然爆发”之意时，常用于词组burst into 和burst out， burst into后跟名词形式，burst out后跟-ing形式 ，故答案选C。
6. A Have fun相当于Have a good time, 表示祝福某人玩得快乐。
7. B “没有注意到”这个动作是刚才发生的，说话时已经知道了，故用过去进行时。

12. A 第一空用了现在进行时，第二空表示泛指的一种更富更美好的生活，故用冠词a。
13. C 第一空相当于“when Steven Spielberg were asked”,状语从句中含有系动词be时，通常把从句中的系动词be及主语都省去。第二空用了owe…to…,表示把……归功于……。
14. B 本句用了with + 名词 + doing 复合结构，因为表示主动，且时间状语又是every day, 所以用了动词的-ing形式。
15.A 名词修饰语的排序一般是：限、数、描、大、颜、类，即：限制性定语（如：冠词、所有格等）→数词→描绘性形容词→表示大小长短高低的词→颜色→类别。
16. B can’t / never too 表示再……也不过分。
17. A more … than … 与其说是……倒不如说是……。
18. B no worse than 表示不比……差；和……一样好。

21. A 从上下文看，Tom正要卷起所拾的绳子，这时注意到有人在看他，be about to do…when…表示正要干某事，这时……。
22. D see和notice表示看的结果，一般不用于进行时态，而look为不及物动词，故只能选watch,表示“看，观察”。

30. A Tom听到自己的名字在被叫，因为crier让他到镇长办公室去一趟。
31. B crier让Tom到镇长办公室去一趟，而不是让他在那儿等（wait）或是坐（sit）,如用come,则和to 搭配，所以只能选appear, 即让他出现在那儿。
32. C 在那儿他了解到（learned），而不是知道（knew）,更不是告诉（told）或许诺(promised)。

34. C 因为自己无辜，所以Tom应该是生气地辩解 （in anger）。
