第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
A few minutes ago，walking back from lunch，I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasn’t much but，as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too。A woman had dropped what appeared to be a dime.
The tinkling sound of a coin dropping on pavement（人行道）is an attention-getter. It can be nothing more than a penny.Whatever the coin is，no one ingores（refuse to pay attention to）the sound of it.
We are surrounded and worried by so many sounds that attract the most attention. People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fire engine，a police car or an ambulance（救護(hù)車）comes screaming along the street.
When I’m in New York, I’m a New Yorker，I don’t turn either. Like the natives，I hardly hear a siren（警報(bào)器）there.
At home in my little town in Connecticut，it’s different. The distant wail of a police car，an emergency vehicle（車輛）or a fire siren brings me to my feet if I’m seated and brings me to the window if I’m bed.
It’s the quietest sounds that have most effect on us，not the loudest。In the middle of the night，I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away through three closed doors. I’ve been hearing little creaking（嘰嘰嘎嘎的）noises and sounds which my imagination turns into footsteps in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house. How come I never hear those sounds in the daytime？I’m quite clear in my mind what the good sounds are and what the bad sounds are .I’ve turned against whistling（口哨聲）,for instance. I used to think of it as the mark of a happy worker but lately I have related the whistler to a nervous person making compulsive（禁不住的）noises.
The tapping，tapping，tapping of my typewriter as the keys hit the paper is a lovely sound to me。I often like the sound of what I write better than the looks of it.
56．The sound of a coin dropping makes people____________.
A．think of money B．look at each other
C．pay attention to it D．lost in thought
57．People in New York________.
A．a(chǎn)re used to sirens B．don’t hear loud noises
C．a(chǎn)re attracted by sounds D．don’t care about emergencies
58．The writer dislikes whistling because___________.
A．he is tired of it B．he used to be happier
C．he doesn’t like workers D．it reminds him of tense people
59．What kind of sound does he find pleasant?
A．Creaking sounds B．Clinking sound of keys
C．Tapping of his typewriter D．Tinkling sound of a coin dropping
60．How does the writer feel about sounds in general?
A．They make him feel at home. B．He prefers silence to loud noises.
C．He thinks they should be ignored. D．He believes they are part of our lives.
B
Iqaluit，Canada-Many people think that icebergs（冰山）are big and frightening. They can sink ships and kill people．We don’t usually think that they can be useful．However，a company in Newfoundland， Canada，decided that they could make money by using icebergs.
Iceberg Industries is a company in St，John’s Newfoundland．The company maked beer and Vodka from the water of iceberg．They even advertise their products with the words：“Made from the water of northern icebergs.”Because the weather is very cold in Newfoundland，the company can usually find as much ice as they need near the coast．But for the last few years，the weather has been warmer than usual，and there hasn’t been enough ice.
Morris Murphy，a vice-president of Iceberg Industries，had a good idea．He decided to go to Iqaluit，a village in northern Canada，to make a deal with a company there，The name of the company is QC Corporation，and it is owned by Inuit Indians.“We want them to supply icebergs for our beer and vodka,”Murphy says.“Iqaluit is a good place to do business．You can be sure there sill be a good rupply of ice near this town every year.”The owners of QC Corporation said“yes”to Iceberg Industries.
But how ho you get an iceberg from Iqaluit to Newfouodland？You can’t put a rope around an iceberg and pull it thousands of miles．So what can you do?
Michael Brown of the QC Corporation says that sending the ice to Newfoundland won’t be a problem．Ships come north every summer，bringing supplies for the people who live in Iqaluit and the area around it．Usually the ships are empty when go back south。Brown says that they can cut up the icebergs and put the pieces in the empty ships.“we could fill a whole ship with ice from the icebergs,”he explains.
This whole business may sound a little strange，but the companies say the first shipments of icebergs to Newfoundland have already begun.
61．Iceberg Industries wanted to make business with QC Corporation because__________.
A．Iceberg Industries was not near the coast now
B． Iceberg Industries suffered from a lack of ice

62．How does Iceberg Industries use the icebergs?
A．They set up a company to send icebergs.
B．They advertise their products made from icebergs.
C．They go to Iqaluit to ship icebergs back to the south.
D．They use the water to make beer and vodka.
63．Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．Canadian Company Wants Icebergs
B．Icebergs Sink Ships And Kill People
C．The World Is Becoming Warmer
D．Inuit Indians Sells Icebergs
64．How will the icebergs be transport from Iqaluit to Newfoundland?
A．Icebergs will be tied up and pulled back.
B．Icebergs will be cut up and pulled back.
C．Iceberg pieces will be collected and shipped back
D．Iceberg pieces will be put in the empty supply ships.
C

Where did this saying come from？The term started in America in the 20th century .Some people worried that the government wasn’t doing enough to help people who needed help，and these “bleeding hearts”took it upon themselves to help them．They got their nickname form other people who believed that people shouldn’t depend too much on welfare（社會(huì)救濟(jì)）and charity.

Welcome！You’ve been selected for jury service in a North Dakota court．You have a key role in the state’s justice system．The right to a trial by jury is one of the foundation stones（基石）of this country’s courts．You probably have a lot of questions .Who wouldn’t？This document（文件）is designed to answer some of these.
You will find brief descriptions of trial procedures and a short dictionary explaining some of the legal（法律的）terms you might hear during your jury service .We hope this booklet is helpful.
Questions and Answers
Q：Why me?
A：Why not ?The court keeps a “master list”of qualified（合格的）jurors found from lists of voters，motor vehicle licenses，and other sources．When it has a jury term coming up ,the court asks that a certain number of jurors be randomly（隨機(jī)地）selected for jury duty．Jurors must be at least 18 years old；U.S.citizens；North Dakota and county residents（居民）;able to read，speak and understand English reasonably well；physically and mentally able with reasonable accommodation（調(diào)解）to serve；and free from and loss of civil rights because of imprisonment for a serous crime.
Q：Do I have to serve?
A：Yes – most of the time．State law requires all qualified North Dakotans to serve as jurors.
The court very unwillingly excuses persons from jury duty．A lack of and of the qualifications listed earlier will cause a person to be disqualified for jury duty．In addition, the court will consider excuses upon satisfactory showing of undue hardship，extreme inconvenience，and public necessity.
Q：How long do I have to serve?
A：In most instances，not any longer than 10 court days in any two year period.
Q：Do I get paid?
A：Yes．Jurors receive S 25 for the first day and S 50 for additional days, plus31 cents a mile for mileage.
Q：How about my job?
A：State law protects your job .Your employer can’t fire you ,demote you ,threaten you or otherwise hassle you because of jury service.
Q：Now that I’ve been summoned（ordered）for jury duty，what’s next?
A：Next is to report to jury at the court．Failure to do so can lead to all kinds of unpleasant things like contempt of court（蔑視法庭）charges，fines，and even jail（prison）terms.
Q：What should I wear?
A： There are no strict dress rules．Some courts suggest dressing as you would for church，a business meeting or a social function．Dress comfortably, but avoid extremes in dress；for instance，no tuxedos or old and torn jean cutoffs.
Q：Will I be on a jury all the time?
A：It’t possible but unlikely．You could be“challenged”off all the juries during your service，or you could serve on just one case that might last several days．Most likely you will serve as a juror for two or three cases during your tour of duty（任期）.

How DO You Tell a Democrat from a Republican?
What’s the difference between the two major political parties？Some would say,“None.”Third-party expert Ralph Nader，says that they’re all “Republicrats．”

第一小題：One possible version
The Plow
Thousands of years ago，people discovered that plants grew better in soil that had been loosened．For a long time，farmers used sharp sticks or rocks to loosen the soil．Then about 8,000 years ago ,some Arabians in Egypt came up with the idea for a plow ,These early plows were simply forked sticks pulled by a person.About4,000 years later，people began using oxen to pull simple plows .Today many farmers use tractors to pull huge plows.
The plow is a very important invention because it allowed people to farm more land and grow more food．Because farmers could grow more food ,fewer people died of starvation．

第二小題 One possible version
If a fire breaks out in our building ,we should waste no time．As we leave ,close all doors behind us to contain the fire．We should take the stairs rather than the lift．We can shout and pound on our neighbors’ doors as we make our escape，so as to warn them of the fire .Call the fire service from a public phone or using our mobile phone．Remember：for no reason should we re-enter the building．

W：Hi，Tom．What are you reading?
M：Hi，Tanya，This is a newspaper，the Community News．It carries only good news.
W：Oh，yeah．I think I’ve seen that.
M：Yeah isn’t it a great idea？I’m so fed up with all the bad news you read about all the time．It’s about time someone offers some creative choice to the mainstream newspapers.
W：I don’t know.…the problem with it is ,if it’s only good news，how do you know you’re getting the whole story，and not just sugar-coated truth？It doesn’t sound like objective journalism- that both sides of a story and all facts are being reported.

W：Hmm．I’m afraid we haven’t got anything like that ,sir .Sorry.

M：So，tell me，what’s the one thing that really makes you unhappy about modern technology?
W：I’m happy to get a chance to speak out．I know that a lot of people like the convenience of cell phones，but I find them truly irritating．People don’t seem to know when to leave them at home．I hate it when people use their cell phones in a restaurant or a store .It’s probably none of my business，but it drives me crazy．One night in a movie theater，some cell phone began to ring and a guy behind me began to have a conversation right there during the movie．And the people who talk on the phone while they drive ,well ,they’re putting the rest of us in danger，aren’t they？There should be a law against it.
