Ⅲ．Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer.

Passage 1
A dolphin (海豚) looks more like a fish than certain fishes do. It is an excellent swimmer. The dolphin seems to flash through the water. Like fish, dolphins are completely at home in the water. There they play, feed, sleep, and give birth to their young. Dolphins live in the sea and can live only in the sea.
Yet they are not fish. A dolphin must come to the surface to breathe. Fish can take oxygen from the water. Dolphins cannot. Like us, they breathe with lungs and must take their oxygen from the air. And they are mammals (哺乳动物).
Most mammals are land animals. Dolphins are evolved (进化) from land animals. Long ago, dolphin ancestors (祖先) left the land for the sea. Among the animals was a kind that would become the dolphin we know. No one is sure exactly what kind of animal it was. But there is reason to think it was related to grass-eating animals like the cow. Modern dolphins are fish-eaters. Yet their stomachs are like those of animals that eat plants. The make-up of their blood is also like that of grass-eating animals.

1. The best title for this passage is ______.

A.Dolphins
B.Fish
C.Mammals
D.Cows

A B C D

[考点] 主旨大意题

C.Dolphins can live only in the sea.
D.Dolphins produce their babies on land.

A B C D

[考点] 事实细节题
[解析] 由文章第一段最后一句话“Dolphins live in the sea and can live only in the sea. ”可知，海豚仅能生活在海洋里，所以选项C正确。再由第一段第一句、第二句和第四、五句可知，选项A、B、D均不符合文义。

3. Different from fish, dolphins ______.

A.live on land
B.breathe with lungs
C.breathe under water
D.live without oxygen

A B C D

[考点] 事实细节题
[解析] 由文章第二段第五句的内容可知，海豚的呼吸方式与人类一样，都是用肺呼吸且是从空气中呼吸氧气，所以本题应选B。

4. Dolphins are evolved from ______.

A.fish-eating mammals
B.sea animals
C.grass-eating fish
D.land animals

A B C D

[考点] 事实细节题
[解析] 由文章第三段第二句话“Dolphins are evolved from land animals．”可知，本题答案为D。

B.Mammals don't eat plants at all.
C.All fishes developed from land animals.

A B C D

[考点] 推理判断题
[解析] 由文章最后一段内容可知，海豚是由陆上动物进化来的，且这种动物有可能是一种食草动物。而现在的海豚变成了食鱼者，但它的胃跟那些以植物为主的动物的胃相似，它的血液组成也与那些食草动物的相似。由此可推出海豚是一种高、度进化的动物。

Passage 2

Halloween is a holiday, which comes at the end of October. It is widely celebrated, with different names, in many countries. Although it started as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children's day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand.
The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face out into it and a candle placed inside, and put in the window as a decoration. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations.
Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one's neighbors and friends, such as ringing door bell, throwing bits of corn at window panes, and making small troubles in other ways.
More recently, children have begun to go door to door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and give treats of candy, fruit or cookies. They say, "Trick or Treat", meaning, "I will play a trick on you if you don't give me a treat." This practice has even recently developed into an international activity. Instead of, or along with candy, children collect money for UNICEF (the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for poor children throughout the world is known as "UNICEF Trick or Treat".

1. Halloween is a holiday that ______.

A.is celebrated as a children's day all over the world

D.Flowers.

A B C D

[考点] 事实细节题
[解析] 由文章第二段第一句和第三段第一句可知，庆祝万圣节时会出现南瓜、蜡烛和奇怪恐怖的服装。只有D项(鲜花)没有被提及。

3. According to the text, children collect money on Halloween to ______.

A.buy strange and frightening costumes
B.buy themselves candy from the neighbors
C.help UNICEF hold an international meeting
D.help poor children throughout the world

A B C D

[考点] 事实细节题
[解析] 根据文章最后一句“This special collection of money by children for poor children throughout the world…”可知，孩子们是为全世界的贫困儿童募集善款，故D项正确。

4. The symbol of Halloween is ______.

A.a pumpkin
B.a candle
C.laughter
D.money

A B C D

[考点] 推理判断题
[解析] 根据文章第二段的描述可知，万圣节时，南瓜刚好丰收，一般都会被挖空，表面刻成有趣的面孔，里面点上蜡烛，并把它放在窗户上当成装饰。由此可推知，南瓜才是万圣节的标志。文中仅有一处提及B项，但蜡烛并不是万圣节的标志；C项(笑声)和D项(金钱)更不会是标志。另外，根据常识也可轻而易举地选出正确答案。

5. On which day is Halloween celebrated each year?

A.The second Sunday in May.
B.The fourth Thursday in November.
C.February 14.
D.October31.

Passage 3
Before a new airliner goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others. One of them is very strange and the other is very dangerous.
The first of these is called the "tank test". A modern airliner must fly at very high altitudes. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, or "pressured", the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure on a small window, for example, is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to crack, the plane would explode in the sky. This is what happened to the first Comets. In order to test the structure of the plane, it is lowered into a huge tank of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has cracked. This part is made stronger.
The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flight in the air. The test pilot must find exactly what happens when all the engines are shut off at once. He takes the plane up very high. Then he shuts the engines off, the plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot's job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.

1. The purpose of the "tank test" is to find out ______.

A.how much air passengers need to breathe at certain altitudes
B.how much air can be pumped into the plane
C.what would happen if the plane crashed in the water
D.if there are any weak parts in the plane that would burst under pressure

A B C D

[考点] 推理判断题
[解析] 根据文章第二段可知，新飞机需要置于水中进行压力测试，如有薄弱的地方就会发生爆炸，此地方则须加强。故本题的正确答案为D。

2. It can be inferred that during the test, ______.

A.water is pumped into the plane instead of air
B.more air is pumped into the plane than usual
C.water exerts great pressure on the skin of the plane
D.the weaker parts receive greater pressure

A B C D

[考点] 推理判断题
[解析] 由文章第二段倒数第四、五句可知，测试时，飞机内的气压比在空中时要大。故可推知，测试时飞机被注入比正确情况更多的空气。

3. The test is carried out under water because ______.

A.the pressure under water is greater than in the air
B.the first Comets exploded in the water
C.it will be easier for engineers to find out where the crack is
D.it can protect the testers from being injured

A B C D

[考点] 事实细节题
[解析] 根据文章第二段倒数第二句“Engineers can discover which part of the plane has cracked．”可知，选项C正确。

4. A test flight is dangerous because the test pilot has to ______.

A.fly his plane at a very high altitude
B.secure a safe landing in a plane crash
C.find out how to handle a plane when its engines stop working
D.fix the damaged engines during the flight

A B C D

[考点] 事实细节题
[解析] 由文章第三段第二句“The test pilot must find exactly what happens when all the engines are shut off at once．”及倒数第二句“It is the pilot's job to find out how he can get control of the plane again．”可知，答案应选C。

5. The passage implies that modern airlines are ______.

A.reliable
B.dangerous
C.complicated
D.efficient

A B C D

[考点] 推理判断题
[解析] 由文章大意可知，现代飞机须经过严格的试验确保安全后才能载乘客飞行，由此可推断现代飞机是很可靠的(reliable)，故选A。

Passage 4
In the United States, teaching is very important. If teachers do not teach well, students complain. If many students do not understand, people think that the teacher does not do a good job. The teacher has big responsibility to make sure students understand. In a sense, students are consumers and the teacher is offering services.
Students have the right to evaluate their teachers, and they usually do so at the end of each course. That evaluation includes lots of aspects of teaching, such as explanation, preparation, using good examples, answering questions, and organization of classes.
Students are supposed to read required textbooks and recommended books before class. Without reading them, they will find it very difficult to understand the class. Basic courses on doing research and writing papers are taught at the beginning of the program. They teach things very concretely (具体地) and clearly. Students are expected to apply what they have learned to their studies.
Classes are usually divided into lectures and seminars. There are some lecture classes, where the teacher just gives a lecture, and students ask questions at the end. Most graduate level classes are lectures and discussions. Participating in discussions is very important. Higher level classes involve very little lecturing. They emphasize discussion and presentation by the students.

A.try to please their students
B.treat their students as consumers

C.how fluently they express themselves in class

A B C D

[考点] 推理判断题
[解析] 第二段提到学生有权在每门功课结束时对老师进行各方面的评估，例如解释、课前准备、举例、回答问题和课堂组织等。从这些例子中我们可以看出。学生对老师的评价主要是基于老师在课堂上的表现。

3. What are students expected to do before attending a class?

A.Go over the lessons thoroughly.
B.Understand the textbooks well.
C.Do the reading assignments.
D.Prepare an outline for discussion.

A B C D

Ⅳ．Writing

Holiday Economy

Outline:
1．对于由长假引发的“假日经济”，人们一直存在争议；
2．很多人认为“假日经济”的负面作用更大
3．“我”的看法。

Holiday Economy

As we see, the extended holidays have caused unexpected great travel craze and brisk economic activities. But there are many debates on the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of holiday economy. Many people, especially some economists are in favor of the holiday economy. They believe that tourism-based holiday economy has raised consumption and helped to spur the domestic demands. In addition to transportation, catering, hotels and service industries become flourishing during long holidays.
However, many others argue that the holiday economy do more harm than good. First, the travel craze puts a heavy burden on the traffic system. Second, thousands of tourists enter scenic spots, causing over-crowdedness and safety problems.
As to me, I believe the advantages of holiday economy outweigh its disadvantages. After all, holiday economy greatly benefits the development of our overall economy. Besides, consumers can enjoy more colorful commodities and more preferential policies provided by the merchants. But the government should take effective measures to reduce the bad effects of holiday economy.

[解析] 本题属于提纲式命题作文。提纲第1点指出人们对“假日经济”存在不同的看法；提纲第2点指出观点之一，即认为“假日经济”的负面作用更大；提纲第3点则要求阐述 “我”的观点。因此可判断这一篇对比选择型作文。
根据所给提纲可以这样安排文章的内容和结构：第一段说明有些人认为“假日经济”利大于弊以及原因；第二段说明有些人则认为“假日经济”弊大于利以及原因；第三段阐述“我”的观点。
