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，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
In China ,if you are not married by the time you are 30, you are in for trouble : social blame ,pressure from family and friends can get you down .And if you are a woman ,it’s even worse .
Many young people get married simply to get other people off their backs .This is a serious compromise （妥协）with their ideasl （理想）. One ends up not marrying the ideal partner .
There are ,however ,a few young people who refuse to compromise :if they can’t find a good marriage partner ,they say ,they would rather not marry at all .
34-year-old Wang is a university lecturer in English .She says she would not describe herself as bachelorette（独身主义者）but simply a woman who hasn’t come across the right man yet .She has sharp comments for the way in which the old generation looks at marriage .
“Many people think marriage is a duty to your parents ,family and society .Nobody cares if your marriage is happy or not .” She said , “I think this is very wrong .I intend to live and act according to my own will .”
Happily for her ,her parents are open-minded and never put pressure on her . But the same does not apply to her friends .They are constantly trying to get her together with some young man or another .She always refuses politely .
56．The main idea of this passage is that________ .
A．marriage is a duty of society
B．people should get married before 30 years old
C．late marriage should be respected
D．women should get married earlier than men
57．Miss Wang refuses to get together with some young man or another because________ .
A．she doesn’t think he is the right man she wants
B．he doesn’t know English
C．he is either impolite or little learned
D．he is either too old or too young
58．In the first paragraph ,the underlined words “in for” mean ________ .
A．interested in B．satisfied with
C．worried about D．certain or likely to have
59．Which is NOT true according to this passage ?
A．In China ,one will face social blame and family pressure if one hasn’t got married at the age of 30.
B．Miss Wang’s parents are always worried about her marriage .
C．Miss Wang won’t compromise with social pressure .
D．Miss Wang wants to marry a worthy young man .
B
Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle （航于飞机）Challenger ,in June ,1993 . The achievement of Sally Ride ,America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space ,made this flight especially memorable . Students from two Camden ,New Jersey , high schools , however ,are probably to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight .
Norma didn’t travel alone . She brought about 100 companions along with her . Norma was an ant ,a queen ant who , with her subject ,made up the first and colony （群体）to travel into space .The ants were part of a science experiment designed by the students to test the effects of weightlessness on insects .
The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly throughout the long space trip . The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronauts had all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened .The problem did not occur in space ,but on the ground after Challenger had landed . The container remained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was removed . The hot , dry desert air dried out the colony’s container and the ants died from lack of moisture（水分）.
The project was termed a success because it did provide useful information . Students will continue their efforts to find out exactly what went wrong . They will try to prevent the same difficulties from recurring on future missions .They don’t want to be discouraged either by the death of the ants or by the $10,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space .
60．The story is mainly about________ .
A．Sally Ride’s first ride B．space equipment for insects
C．a space experiment with ants D．going to school in New Jersey
61．The project wasn’t a failure because________ .
A．important things were learned B．dead ants are better
C．everything went as expected D．students wrote about it
62．The ants died because________ .
A．weightlessness harmed them B．space caused too much pain
C．no one fed them in space D．they dried out in the desert
63．On the next space trip ,ants________ .
A．will be sent without people B．should not be left in the desert
C．will have to pay double fare D．will escape the trip completely
C
“Mind over matter” is an English saying meaning that we can control our bodies with our minds .Now scientists are finding increasing evidence that our mind can have a GREat effect on our physical health .Since our mind influences how we feel , it’s not possible to say if someone is ill just because they feel ill .
The influence of the mind on how well we feel is the basis of what is known as the placebo effect .A placebo ( which is Latin for “I shall please”) is a harmless ,inactive substance .Patients are sometimes given placebo pills and begin to feel better because they believe that they have been given real drugs and expect to respond to them .The placebo effect is very strong :research on pain suggests that up to 30% of the effect of most painkillers is a placebo effect .
So if it is so powerful , why don’t doctors use it today ?
According to Dr Persaud , they really do . “All these things like wearing a white coat ,going to a hospital , and being scanned （扫描）have a very strong placebo effect .”he says .
64．According to the first paragraph ,if you feel ill ,________ .
A．you don’t need to see a doctor
B．it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re physically ill
C．you are in good condition
D．it is obvious that you suffer from a serious disease
65．The English saying “mind over matter” means that________ .
A．sound mind is less important than good health
B．our mind has strong effect on our body
C．our physical health has nothing to do with our mind
D．mental health mainly depends on our physical health
66．According to the passage ,placebos________ .
A． may make patients feel worse B．are not effective pills
C．are not real drugs D．can relieve all kinds of pain
67．The placebo effect is based on ________ .
A．the constant use of some special drugs
B．the influence of our minds on our bodies
C．a harmless ,inactive substance
D．a response of the body to drug
68．From the passage it can be seen that there will be no placebo effect if a patient________ .
A．is dressed in white B．has a physical exam
C．takes sugar pills D．sees a doctor
D
WASHINGTON——There are more than 222million TVs in American homes . And it would make Frank Vespe very happy this week if every last one was turned off .
Vespe is head of the TV—Turnoff Network ,the Washington organization behind TV Turnoff Week .
For TV Turnoff week ,American kids are encouraged to go one week without watching TV. This year it runs from April 23 to 29.
“Our real meassage here is to see what life is like without TV and then make watching TV a conscious decision ,” said Vespe .
Vespe said that most of the kids who go without television for a week go back to watching ,but not as much . “They watch more selectively .They do more things as a family .It helps them put TV in its place .”
One kid who is turning off her television is Sarah Foote , 9, of Virginia .
Sarah admits it won’t be too hard to give up TV .She’s allowed to watch only educational television , and her favourite show from last year isn’t on any more .
Of course ,there are plenty of good things about TV: programmes can be entertaining ,even educational .
Even so , some experts aren’t sure TV Turnoff Week is the answer .
“Too much TV is not good .A little bit of TV for young kids is good because it adds to their vocabulary .The bottom line is moderation （节制），”says Susan Neuman ,a university educator who studies kids and reading .
Neuman says the real problem is that parents do not keep track of what their kids are watching .
They do not set limits on TV viewing .Also ,in some families ,TV might be the only thing there is to do .
What message does Sarah have for other kids ?
“It’s a very good idea .I survived a whole week without TV .It also teaches you to enjoy time doing different things and not being sucked into something on TV, because you do not want TV taking up all of your time ,” Sarah said .
69．The purpose of the TV-Turnoff is to________ .
A．make children watch TV less
B．make children play outside more
C．make children do more homework
D．make parents watch more TV programmes
70．As Vespe said in this passage ,turning off TV a week can help children________ .
A．forget to watch TV programmes
B．improve their habits of watching TV
C．place TV sets out of their bedrooms
D．have par-time jobs after school
71．In some experts’s opinion ,________ .
A．parents should turn off TV for their children
B．parents should direct their children how to use TV
C．children should enjoy exciting programmes on TV
D．children should learn their lessons over TV
72．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage ?
A．To advise us to turn off TV sets .
B．To warn parents of the danger of TV .
C．To report to us a piece of news about TV.
D．To praise Vespe and his organization .

China’s State Council on December 29 issued “an urgent notice directing local governments to draw lessons” from the Christmas night fire in central China .
The notice urged local authorities to “make every effort to ensure safety during the New Year’s Day and Spring Festival holidays .”
The fire in the city of Luoyang ,on December 25 ,which killed 309 people , “indicates that severe problems still exist in current safety work .”
Mostly killed were youths celebrating Christmas in nightclub on the fourth floor of the Dongdu Commercial Building .Most were suffocated by smoke in the dance hall that had only two emergency exits ,one hidden behind a bar .There were no sprinklers or smoke alarms .
The notice calls for “an immediate thorough check for potential causes of fire in places such as hotels ,shops ,hospitals and schools .”
Recreation centers and dance halls without safety equipment must be closed immediately ,the notice says .
Railway ,civil aviation ,shipping , and highway departments are urged to “see if their vehicles （交通工具）are in good condition and ban （禁止）overloading and excessive speeding .”
The Luoyang fire was the worst in China since February 18,1997,when 694 people died in a cinema in the western region of Xinjiang .
State media reported the Luoyang fire was caused by welders working in the building’s basement .
The unlicensed welders were employed by a Taiwanese investor identified as Dennis Co . They tried to put the fire out with water but failed and fled without raising the alarm .They were seized by police early last Wednesday .
Eight others were held for giving false testimony （证言）about the incident .
Inspectors had declared the building one of Henan province’s 40 most dangerous commercial structures three years ago ,but no safety improvements were made .
Investigators blame the fire on managers of Dennis Co .
Premier Zhu Rongji has vowed “severe punishment” for those responsible .President Jiang Zemin was quoted by state media as saying he was “very concerned .”
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan Last Tuesday sent his condelences to President Jiang Zemin.
73．The underlined word “potential “in the passage means________ .
A．important in possibility B．existing in possibility
C．active at present D．interesting at present
74．Which of the following statements isn’t right ?
A．Most people in the incident died on the 4th floor .
B．The welders who caused the Luoyang fire were seized by police .
C．The Luoyang fire wasn’t the worst in China since 1970 .
