第三部分 阅读理解(共15小题;满分30分)

A

Some people associate migration mainly with birds. Birds do travel vast distances, but mammals also migrate. An example is the caribou, reindeer that graze on the grassy slopes of northern Canada. When the weather turns cold, they travel south until spring. Their tracks are so well-worn that they are clearly visible from the air. Another migrating mammal is the Alaskan fur seal. These seals breed only in the Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea. The young are born in June and by September are strong enough to go with their mothers on a journey of over 3,000 miles. Together they swim down the Pacific Coast of North America. The females and young travel as far as southern California. The males do not journey so far. They swim only to the Gulf of Alaska. In the spring, males and females all return to the islands, and there the cycle begins again. Whales are among the greatest migrators of all. The humpback and blue whales migrate thousands of miles each year from the polar seas to the tropics. Whales eat huge quantities of plankton. These are most abundant in cold polar waters. In winter, the whales move to warm waters to breed and give birth to their young.

56. From the passage we can learn that _______.

A. people immigrate because of animal

B. only birds migrate

C. people immigrate with their bird

D. not all mammals migrate

57. Which of the following is not true?

A. Whales breed in winter.

B. Young whales are born in cold waters.

C. Alaskan fur seals give birth to their young in one area only.

D. Alaskan fur seals are born in warm weather.

58. Which of the following is not described in the passage?

A. Whales migrate to breed and give birth to their young.

B. Whale-watching in Boston in summer is an attraction.

C. Seals breed in the north before migration.

D. Reindeer feed on grass.

59. How many kinds of migrating mammals are mentioned in the passage?

A. four B. three C. two D. one

60. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Three types of whale

B. Birds' migration

C. Mammals also migrate

D. Several kinds of migration

B

The classic Neanderthals(尼安德特人), who lived between about 70,000 and 30,000 years ago, shared a number of special characteristics. Like any biological population, Neanderthals also showed variation in the degree to which those characteristics were powerfully built, short and stocky, with the lower parts of their arms and legs short in relation to the upper parts, as in modern peoples who live in cold environments. Neanderthal skulls were distinctive (与众不同的), housing brains even larger on average than those of modern humans, a feature that may have had more to do with their large, heavy bodies than with superior intelligence. Seen from behind, Neanderthal skulls look almost spherical (球形的), but from the side they are long and flattened, often with a bulging (凸出的) back.

The Neanderthal face, dominated by a projecting and full nose, differed clearly from the faces of other hominids (原始人类), the middle parts appear to be pulled forward (or the sides pulled back), resulting in a rather streamlined face shape. This peculiarity(特性) may have been related to the greater importance (in cultural activities as well as food processing) of the front teeth, which are large and part of a row of teeth that lies well forward in the head; it may reflect a reduction in importance of certain jaw muscles operating at the sides of the face, or it may reflect an adaptation (适应) to cold. Whether it results from any or all of these three factors or from other undiscovered causes, this midfacial projection is so characteristic that it unfailingly identifies a Neanderthal to the trained eye.

Neanderthal teeth are much more difficult to characterize: the front teeth are large, with strong roots, but the back teeth may be relatively small. This feature may have been an adaptation to cope with heavy tooth wear.

61. The best title for the passage is _______.

A. The Neanderthal face

B. Neanderthals one of the hominid

C. The characteristics of Neanderthal

D. The classic Neanderthal

62. What might NOT be the possible reason for the Neanderthal streamlined face shape?

A. their large, heavy bodie

B. the front teeth

C. the function of certain jaw muscle

D. the climate then

63. What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph mean?

A. Neanderthal eyes were well trained.

B. Your eyes need to be trained to identify Neanderthals.

C. An expert can easily identify Neanderthals.

D. The special eye is needed to identify Neanderthals.

64. Which of the following statement is correct?

A. Neanderthals had short arms as modern people do.

B. Modern people living in cold areas have longer upper arms and legs.

C. Neanderthals had shorter arms and legs than modern people.

D. The lower parts of Neanderthal arms and legs were as short as their upper parts.

65. From the story we can learn Neanderthals _____.

A. lived near the equator B. were early human

C. had problems with their teeth when young

D. had larger and cleverer brains than we do

C

Much attention is presently being given to what is termed "functional illiteracy (文盲)". This should not be confused with the problem of illiteracy, that is, the inability to read and write. Current United Nations (UNESCO) figures indicate that 99 per cent of all Americans are literate, the same figure assigned to nations such as Britain and Germany. Functional illiteracy, by contrast, is concerned with how much difficulty people have in actually using and writing skills in everyday situations. This might be interpreted (解释), for example, as the relative ability to understand federal income tax forms, or printed instructions, or how well someone can write a letter of complaint, or apply in writing for a job.

There are no agreed-upon definitions (定义) of what functional illiteracy is and, in practice, definitions vary widely. For many years, reading tests have been used throughout the country which define reading ability by grade level. "Tenth grade reading level" for instance, would be the average reading score of all pupils who have completed ten years of school. There are, of course, many different reading tests and types of tests. One definition of functional illiteracy holds that anyone is "illiterate" who reads at less than an eighth grade level. Another common definition uses a twelfth grade level (the last year of high school in the US).

There seems to be general agreement that at least one tenth of all Americans are functionally illiterate in English to some degree. It is also hardly surprising that those nations which (like the US) have paid most attention to this concept, and which have nationwide testing, have found the greatest problems. As one educator humourously put it, "Reading tests cause illiteracy". Canada, for example, which also has a large non English speaking immigrant population, has recently found that many of her citizens, too, are functionally illiterate. The attention given to this problem, therefore, reflects the fact that in North America schools as well as pupils are continually tested.

66. One is often defined as functionally illiterate when _____.

A. he is illiterate

B. he cannot pass a reading test

C. he is only a pupil

D. he lacks the ability to read or write

67. What can we infer from the story?

A. Anyone who is functionally illiterate must also be illiterate.

B. Anyone who is illiterate must also be functionally illiterate.

C. definitions of functional illiteracy are different from country to country.

D. only countries that have a large number of immigrants are troubled by this problem.

68. By quoting the educator's humourous saying (see the underlined sentence), the writer points out _____.

A. reading tests are never a good way to grade one's ability

B. the irony (讽刺意味) in using reading tests to define functional illiteracy

C. only by taking reading tests can we know who is illiterate

D. definition of functional illiteracy should be clearer than the current one

69. The writer is probably _______.

A. a United Nations officer B. an English teacher

C. an American D. an illiterate

70. Which of the following statements would the writer probably agree with?

A. All countries should have the same definition for functional illiteracy.

B. It's completely unnecessary to pay attention to functional illiteracy.

C. The problem of illiteracy should be given more attention than functional illiteracy.

D. Tests can be misleading in defining functional illiteracy.
