第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题; 每小题2分, 满分40分)
阅读下列短文, 从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Moral science is taught as a subject in most schools but with little effect. Perhaps part of the problem lies in the fact that morality is not a science, strictly speaking. It is too much of a social phenomenon, and also has too much of the personal and subjective things mixed within. Besides, morality itself changes with generations, so it is impossible to be printed in a normal textbook.
I remember sitting through forty minutes of moral lessons, which told stories about little children who never told lies and were rewarded for their goodness. It had little effect and left no impression on me, though.
If moral science has to be taught as a subject in schools, it needs a participatory approach. When you tell a child about moral, you also have to deal with social norms( 社会规范) and cultural differences. You have to explain that morality can be subjective, and be able to co-exist in society. You will probably have to refer to the morals at the present time.
The best way to tell a child how to live is to show him what is valued. If a child likes his friend, you have to make the child think about why. Once the child notices and recognizes goodness in others, he or she is likely to develop it as well.
In fact, children learn most of their morals by watching people around them. They absorb behaviour patterns from teachers and older students. They watch to see what is rewarded and who is punished. They learn on the sports field and through social work. Moral science lessons should simply consist of letting them live and interact, and watch you support correct values and reward good behaviour.
56. Which is NOT the reason that moral science is taught in schools with little effect?
A. Morality doesn’t belong to a science
B. Morality is more like a social phenomenon.
C. Different generations have different moral ideas.
D. Morality can’t be written down in textbooks.
57. The author describes his own experience of learning moral lessons in order to&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& .
A. explain that telling lies is not moral for little children
B. advise that people should be rewarded for their goodness
C. prove that moral lessons in schools have little effect
D. show that he has no impression of moral science
58. When you tell a child about morals, you should&&&&&&&&&&&&&& .
A. teach him to share personal moral ideas with others
B. tell him about social norms and cultural differences
C. explain that nobody can influence his moral ideas
D．say that the morals at the present time will be changed
59. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The best way of teaching children about morals.
B. The value of teachers setting a good example.
C. The influence of people’s behaviour on morals.
D. The importance of rewarding good behaviour.
The recent success of children’s books has made the general public aware that there’s a huge market out there.
And there’s a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children’s books bought each year …plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers? They’re ordinary folks like you and me.
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now，My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn’t know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能），and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:
You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿）suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn’t expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children’s books and over 300 stories and articles.
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.
Realize you writing dream today. There’s nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.
Sincerely,
Kristi Holl, Instructor
Institute of Children’s Literature

A. children’s books are usually bestsellers
B. publishers are making $3 billion each year

Cities alarmed by deaths and injuries of pedestrians are taking efforts to make crosswalks safer for people on foot, especially seniors and children who need more time to cross streets.
A pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident in the USA every 110 one is injured every nine minutes, according to official data. Crosswalks can be especially dangerous for the elderly. Among people 70 and older, 36% of pedestrian deaths in 2006 occurred in crosswalks, compared with 21% of those younger than 70, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) advises that next year States increase by nearly 15% the amount of time traffic lights provide for pedestrians to cross the street after the flashing orange hand appears.
FHWA spokesman Doug Hecox says reasons for the change include an aging population that needs more time to cross, health conscious Americans walking more, children encouraged to walk to prevent getting overweight and high gas prices pushing people to walk instead of drive.
Pedestrian deaths went down by 12% from 5, 449 in 1996 to 4,784 in 2006,.But among those in
were killed in crosswalks, down slightly from 488 ten years earlier, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says.
63. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. Among 100 pedestrian deaths there were 21 people younger than 70.
B. Old people are more likely to meet with accidents in crosswalks.
C. Traffic accidents killed more old people than young people.
D. About seven traffic accidents happened per hour.
64. What is FHWA’s suggestion to States?
A. Fixing more traffic lights.
B. Providing more crosswalks.
C. Giving pedestrians more time to cross streets.
D. Increasing the time before the orange lights appear.
65. What’s the cause of the crosswalk safety problem according to the text?
A. There’re many cars and buses on the road.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B. Pedestrians are careless.
C. Crosswalks are more crowded than before.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D. Drivers don’t give way.
66. The report from NHTSA suggests that&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& .
A. fewer people were injured in crosswalks
B. crosswalk safety has greatly improved
C. much has been done to reduce traffic accidents
D. pedestrian deaths in crosswalks remain a serious problem
While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an unbelievable sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage.
The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified. That left only one to complete. It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is important.
I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong. I’m not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold ― his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle. The crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor.
I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out.
But in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed.
No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did.
A clear minute past the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his race. The crowd went wild. You would have thought that he had won the gold, and should have. Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors.
Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to the Olympics.
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold, or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog.
67. From the passage we can learn that the young man _______.
A. made his turn to start back pitifully&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B. was skillful in freestyle in the game
C. swam faster than the average swimmer&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D. was not capable enough to win the medal
68. The crowd changed their attitudes because _______.
A. they felt sorry for the young man&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B. they wanted to show their sympathy
C. they were moved by the young man&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D. they meant to please the young man
69. According to the passage, “it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means _______.
A. it’s amusing to watch a man with awful swimming skills
B. it’s amazing to watch an ordinary man challenging himself
C. it’s cheerful for athletes to act proudly before their competitors
D. it’s brave enough for some athletes to remove the silver medals
70. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Go for it!&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B. Try again！&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& C. Compete for Gold!&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D. Break a Record!
Life on earth depends on water, and there is no substitute for it. The current assumption is that our basic needs for water ― whether for drinking, agriculture, industry or the raising of fish will always have to be met . Given that premise (前提), there are two basic routes we can go: more equal access to water or better engineering solutions.
Looking at the engineering solution first, a lot of my research concentrates on what happens to wetlands when you build dams in river basins, particularly in Africa. The ecology of such areas is almost entirely driven by the seasonal changes of the river ― the pulse of the water. And the fact is that if you build a dam, you generally spoil the downstream ecology. In the past, such problems have been hidden by a lack of information. But in the near future, governments will have no excuse for their ignorance.
The engineers’ ability to control water flows has created new kinds of unpredictability, too. Dams in Africa have meant fewer fish, less grazing and less floodplain (洪泛区) agriculture ― none of which were expected. And their average economic life is assumed to be thirty years. Dams don’t exist forever, but what will replace them is not clear.
The challenge for the future is to find new means of controlling water. Although GM technology (转基因) will allow us to breed better dry-land crops, there is no market for companies to develop crops suitable for the micro-climates of the Sahel and elsewhere in Africa. Who is going to pay for research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World?
71. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. The engineering solutions to water resource and their limitation.
B. The challenge for the future.
C. The basic means of controlling water.
D. The challenge for developing crops.
72. Which of the following statements is NOT true for meeting our basic needs for water?
A. Water resource should be used more reasonably.
B. More dams should be built in river basins.
C. More wetlands should be protected from destruction.
D. More dry-land crops could be developed in Africa.
73. The author suggests that governments will have no excuse for their careless ignorance in the future because&&&&&&& .
A. The ecological destruction will be known to the public by researchers
B. The ecological destruction will no longer be a problem in the future
C. The future is an information age
D. Governments will face greater challenge in the future
74. The author mentions all the problems caused by dams EXCEPT&&&&&&&&& .
A. fewer fish &&&&&&&&&&&&& B. less grazing land
C. less floodplain agriculture &&& D. less farming land
75. The last sentence probably implies that&&&&&&&&&& .
A. No one will invest in developing locally appropriate crops in Africa
B. Researchers have no interest in developing dry-land crops
C. Research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World may be profitable
D. There is less water resource in the Third World

Recently, I have done a survey about whether it is reasonable to forbid walking the dogs in the local parks.
Some people who are in favor of the ban say that it can help keep the environment clean as well as prevent the children from getting frightened or even bitten. In addition, they regard it as an effective way to prevent people from some diseases spread by pet dogs. However, other tourists hold a different view. They claim that the ban will make the tourists get less fun. Besides, as a result of the ban, not only may those elderly tourists lack company when walking in the park alone, but the harmony between human beings and animals will be affected.
From my point of view, as long as the pet owners can take good control of their dogs and be aware of their responsibilities at the public places, we should allow walking the dogs in our local parks so as to let more people benefit from the pleasure brought by them.
