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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Without the atmosphere there would be no weather, no wind, rain, snow, or clouds. Air is all around us; we live the bottom of a GREat ocean of air. It is invisible, but we can feel it when it moves. There are miles of air above us, pressing down with great weight on the earth and everything on it. Because air presses down on us from all directions at the same time, and because we are able to bear（忍受）this weight, we do not seem to feel it. But scientists have proved that air has this weight, and that anything that has weight creates （产生） a force called pressure. As changes in air pressure take place, they make air move.
Air is a gas that expands （膨胀）when heated, gets lighter, and moves upward. When air is cooled , it gets heavier, sinks close to the earth’s surface, and flows like water in a GREat river. As warm air rises, cold air rushes in to take its place. Thus winds originate （起源）. The winds that blow high above us are caused by the warmer air running away from colder air. The wind we feel near the earth’s surface is the heavy colder air trying hard to catch the warmer air. Changes in temperature cause the air to move. And of course there are many changes, so air movements are taking place practically all the time.
56. The first paragraph mainly tells us the causes of __________.
A. why we don’t feel air
B. why atmosphere is important to us
C. why there is air surrounding us
D. why there is air pressure
57. Air moves under such conditions that _________.
A. there is air pressure
B. the air is heavy
C. air pressure doesn’t remain the same all the time
D. air comes up and down
58. Which of the following pictures best tells the movements of warm air and cold air? (图片略）
59. According to the passage, in some areas if farmers who grow grapes （葡萄）light fires in the early morning, that is because the farmers want to _________.
A. drive away warm air
B. prevent cold air from coming to harm their plants
C. cause more wind
D. stop warm air running away
B
Alzheimer’s disease is a major national health problem. Nearly 2 million Americans over the age of 65 have Alzheimer’s disease. It is a leading cause of death among the elderly. But Alzheimer’s disease is not confined（限于）to the aged. There may be a million or more people under the age of 65 suffering from the disease.
At one time, people suffering from the disease were said to be “getting old”. The disease was thought to be a natural part of growing old, but it is now known that Alzheimer’s disease strikes young and old alike. It is an organic（器官的）disease that destroys brain cells.
Alzheimer’s disease affects the patient’s memory, speech, and movement. In the beginning stages of the disease, the patient may seem slightly confused. He may have trouble speaking. Then the patient’s memory begins to fail. He may forget dates, telephone numbers, names and plans.
As the disease proGREsses, the patient may not recognize family and friends. These symptoms（症状）often cause terrible anxiety in the patient. He may feel lost and frightened. Sometimes the patient reacts with wild and bad behavior.
In the last stages of the disease, the patient may not be able to take care of himself. He may have lost the ability to speak and walk.
Scientists don’t know exactly what causes Alzheimer’s disease. It may e caused by a virus（病毒）. It may be caused by a poisonous substance （物质）in the environment. At present, there is no cure for the disease. But there are ways to slow its proGREss. Exercise and physical treatment can help the patients of this disease.
60. The main idea of the passage is that Alzheimer’s disease __________.
A. is a terrible part of the aging process
B. is an organic disease that affects young and old
C. can be cured by physical treatment
D. causes forgetfulness
61. All of the following are symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease EXCEPT _______.

In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.
The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are GREen, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.
Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.
Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone aGREes that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.
68. Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?
A. Yellow, GREen.
B. Blue, violet.
C. Black, blue.
D. Brown, white.
69. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. Sociable people like warm colors.
B. Warm colors can make people excited.
C. People who like to be with others don’t like red.
D. Where there are warm colors, people want to be active.
70. Which is the right color for different rooms?
A. Red or orange for offices.
B. Orange for dining-rooms.
C. Blue for bedrooms.
D. Red for studies.
71. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. It shows the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are cool.
B. Warm colors remind people of warm days.
C. Cool colors remind people of cool days.
D. People have an aGREeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors.

Disposing（处理）of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.
During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site. Residents or trash haulers（垃圾拖运者）would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically（定期的）some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.
Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.
Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential（住宅区的）neighborhoods. Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.
Awareness（意识）of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.
Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city’s reusable waste.
72. The most suitable title for this passage would be __________.
A. Places for Disposing Waste
B. Waste Pollution Dangers
C. Ways of Getting Rid of Waste
D. Waste Disposal Problem
73. During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for _______.
A. burying it B. recycling it
C. burning it D. throwing it into rivers
74. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?
A. Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society.
B. There is cheap land to bury waste in modern society.
C. It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modern society.
D. Ways to deal with waste in modern society stay the same.
75. The main purpose of writing this article is to _________.
A. draw people’s attention to waste management
B. warn people of the pollution dangers we are facing
C. call on people to take part in recycling programs
D. tell people a better way to get rid of the waste

第一小题：情景作文
Feb. 20,2004
Dear Alice,
How nice to hear from you. You want to know what is going on in schools in China? Now, I will tell you about it.
In the past, exam-oriented education forced us to listen to our teachers while taking notes in class. We did all kinds of exercises without end, though it was 5 o’clock in the afternoon. After supper, we had to continue our exercises far into the night.
Now, quality-oriented education has made our school life colourful. We are active in class. In order to train the ability, we often do research on study（research into study）. Sometimes one of us teaches ourselves. We have various outside activities, such as singing , dancing , English corner, and taking computer lessons. Basketball and football are our favourite sports. In the evening we can watch news on TV, do experiments by ourselves and have talks and discussions of our subjects.
Please make sure that our school life is getting more and more colourful and interesting.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua

My problem is that I don’t know how to make friends here. I’m new in town, and I don’t have any friends here yet. Before I came here, I had lots of friends, but they were the people I GREw up with. They were always my friends. I don’t remember getting to know them, they were just always there from the first grade. I have been here for six weeks now, and some of the children are starting to smile and say hello, but I don’t really have any friends yet. What can I do?
