四、阅读理解（共16小题，计24分）

阅读下列短文，并做每篇后面的题目，从各题A 、B 、C 、D 中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

―Life is speeding up. Everyone is becoming unwell.‖ This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unwell person who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.

We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?

Picture this: You ’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the telephone is getting louder and louder.

often seem to be happier? Perhaps that is because they live simpler lives.

One family in the UK went ―back in time‖ to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons, Benjamin, 10, and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phone.

The grandmother, Lyn, said, ―The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.‖ The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a trendy, been-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.

46. The writer uses the quote(引语) at the beginning of the story to____________. A. tell us the truth about life

B. tell us what life was like a long time ago C. point out what causes such a thing to happen

47. In the passage the writer describes a picture to show that new inventions ____________. A. have stopped our lives

B. have improved the quality of our lives

C. may make people feel very happy D. may bring some people trouble

48. The family chose to spend some time in a 1940s house because______________. A. they loved to live simple lives

B. they wanted to know how people lived without modern inventions C. they were troubled by modern inventions

D. living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them

49. The passage is mainly about ____________. A. problems with technology

B. improvements in our lives caused by technology C. changes happening to technology D. the importance of technology

About ten men in every hundred have the trouble of about one in two hundred is affected(感染) in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman. There are different kinds of color blindness. For example, a man cannot see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades(阴影) of green. Sometimes a person can’t tell the difference between blue and green. Only a few unlucky men may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.

Color blindness in human beings is a difficult thing to explain. In only one eye there are millions of very small things called ―cones(圆锥体) ‖. These help us to see in the bright light and to tell differences between colors. There are also millions of ―rods(柱状体) ‖, but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but not colors.

Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes(蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue light will. Human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the help of the cones in our eyes, we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the help of the rods we can see shapes at night.

50. ―Color blindness‖ means ―_________‖ in Chinese.

A. 盲目 B. 无色 C. 色盲 D. 讨厌颜色 51. Some people say it’s safer to be driven by women because _______. A. women drive more carefully

B. women are better at driving than men

C. women can see things more clearly

D. there are fewer color-blind women

52. With the help of the ―cones ‖, we can __________.

A. tell different shapes B. kill insects

C. see in the dark D. tell orange from yellow 53. ________ show us shape at night.

A. rods B. insects C. cones D. mosquitoes

Lijiang, Yunnan, Dec. 17(Xinhuanet)—A film directed by the famous Chinese director Zhang Yimou, made its domestic debut(国内首映式) in Lijiang, where the film was shot, in southwest China’s Yunnan Province, on Friday night.

The film, titled Riding Along for Thousands of Miles, was played by the Japanese actor TakakuraKen. It tells a story that Takada, a Japanese fisherman, fulfills(完成)the last wish of his dying son by traveling thousands of miles to China’s Yunnan Province to search for the secret behind a local opera play, called Riding Along for Thousands of Miles.

Zhang Yimou, who has been Takakura’s admirer for almost 30 years, made the film just for fulfilling his own wish of working with Takakura Ken.

The film made its global（全球的）bedut at the opening session of the 18th Tokyo International Film Festival on Oct. 22.

Takakura, one of the best-known actors in Japan, has played roles in 204 films—including

Zhang ’s —and won world recognition(认可) after starting in the 1975 Sydney Pollack hit The Yakuza(71) and in Ridley Scott’s 1989 work Black Rain.

Invested by the Beijing New Picture Edko Films, Riding Along for Thousands of Miles was

made at a cost of 60 million yuan(about 7.3 million US dollars), much less than Zhang’s two previous films, Hero and House of Flying Daggers, both had been nominates（提名）for best foreign film Oscars. The film will be formally released in China on Dec. 22.

54. One of the famous actors in Riding Along for Thousands of Miles is____________. A. Zhang Yimou B. Takakura Ken C. Takada D. Jiang Wen

55. Riding Along For Thousands of Miles made its domestic debut in _____ and made its global debut in Education isn ’t the only goal of CubeSats. Because these tiny, technology-filled boxes are relatively ____________.

A. Beijing, Tokyo B. Lijiang, Tokyo C. Beijing, Tokyo D. Lijiang, London 56. ____________ is not directed by Zhang Yimou. A. Riding Along For Thousands of Miles B. Hero

C. Black rain D. House of Flying Daggers 57. 6 million yuan is about ____________ million US dollars. A. 7 B. 7.3 C. 0.73 D. 3.7

As we know, it is not easy to build a satellite. Building a traditional satellite normally takes years. The costs can be as high as $ 250 million or more. Most members of the design teams have worked in the field for a long time. They hold advanced degrees in math, science, or engineering.

But things are changing. High costs, unusual educational requirements and long start-up times are no longer an to space exploration. The scientists at Stanford University have developed a new type of tiny, inexpensive earth-orbiting satellites that go from ideas to launch(发射) in a year.

So far, college students have built and launched several cube-shaped satellites, or Cubesats. At least 15 more are ready to go. Those already in orbit（轨道） take pictures, collect information and send it back to the earth, just as regular satellites do.

But you might not even have to wait until you get to college to start designing and building your own satellite. A new program called KatySat aims to get teenagers to take part. Once kids understand what satellites can do, says Ben Yuan, an engineer at Lockheed Martin in Menlo Park, Calif, the kinds of applications they’ll come up with may be countless.

―We ’d like to put this technology(技术) in your hands,‖ he tells kids. ―We ’re going to teach you how to operate a satellite. Then we want to turn it over to you as a sandbox for you to play in. We want you to take the technology into new directions that we haven’t thought of yet.‖

inexpensive to build and can be put together quickly, they’re perfect for testing new technologies that might one day be used on major space tasks.

The biggest challenge now is to find ways to bring the satellites back to the earth after a year or two. Otherwise, major highways of space junk could gradually increase as CubeSats become more common.

Nowdays challenge and high school students are getting a chance to learn what it takes to explore in space. Someday —perhaps a lot sooner than you imagine —you might get to design, build and launch your own satellite. If you do, you’re sure to have fun. And you might also get crazy about science for life. 58.Compared with the traditional ones, the new satellites ___________. A. need long start-up times B. are low-cost and small-sized C. are very hard to operate D. collect more information in orbit 59. What does the underlined word ―obstacle ‖ mean? A. An aim to achieve in the near future. B. An imagination that kids usually have. C. Something dangerous to terrify people. D. Something difficult that stands in the way.

60. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. CubeSats could possibly cause pollution in space. B. A few kids will send applications for the project. C. Scientists designed CubeSats for kids to play with. D. Students can’t design satellites without college education. 61. What’s the purpose of the author writing the passage? A. To show that high technology brings a big change in kids’ life. B. To show that kids lead the space research into a new direction. C. To tell us that satellite technology can also be learned by kids. D. To tell us that kids must study hard to learn satellite technology.

八、阅读表达 (共5小题，计10分)

阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。

In a classroom in any countries, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she teaches something behind—the culture(文化)of the country.

In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and they pay much attention to personal ideas. Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom.

At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages personal thought(思想).

In most Asian countries, people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the education there pays more attention to group goals than personal ideas. Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the ways of teaching are often very traditional. The teacher says, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students repeat(重复) rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind.

In many ways these differences come from different educational ideas. In Western countries teachers are taught
