第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Listen carefully, working people, we would like to introduce you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free!
It’s "no".
What do you ask? We’ll say it again: "No".
Sweet and simple "no".
Say "no" at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears.
"Saying ’no’ to others means you are saying ’yes’ to yourself," said C.
Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.
"Time is precious. People are spending money to buy time. And yet we are willing to give up our time because we can’t say ’no’."
Charles, a famous writer, said people who always say "yes" need to say "no" without guilt(内疚)or fear of punishment.
"I would rather have someone give me a loving ’no’ than an obligated(强制的) ’yes’, " she said.
Susie Watson says she feels "no" obligation to give an explanation when she says "no" either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? "Not at all," said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury, Conneticut. "Most people are afraid o saying ’no’… My advice is to say ’yes’ only if you don’t mean ’no’."
Watson said "no" is the most effective weapon against wasting time. "Every year there are more demands on your time… Other people are happy to use up your time," Watson said. Time saving appears to be "no’s" GREatest friend.
"No" can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. "No" may even take you further in the business world than "yes".
"No" is power and strength. "No" now seems completely correct. "Saying ’no’ isn’t easy. but finally it’s GREatly liberating," Charles said. But, he added, a "no" project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.
But, he also warns: "Don’t go to extremes. Don’t find yourself saying ’no’ to everything. In return you should learn to hear ’no’. "
56. The sentence "Saying ’yes’ to yourself" means ________.
A. you can have more time to play with others
B. you needn’t care about other’s feeling if you are happy
C. you are selfish and treat others rudely
D. you can deal with your business as you have planned
57. When you say "no" to others you should say it in a ________.
A. secret way B. polite way C. proud way D. guilty way
58. In Watson’s opinion, people can save much time on condition that ________.
A. they say "no" at a suitable time B. they say "no" as much as possible
C. they are afraid of saying "no" D. they make others angry at them
59. If a person says "no" to everything, the result he or she receive may be that he or she _______.
A. enjoys a wonderful life B. makes a lot of money
C. faces difficulty in life D. forgets to say "yes" in the end
B
Space travel is definitely bad for astronauts’ bones, reducing their bone density(密度) after only a month of weightlessness, according to French research published on Friday.
Laurence Vico and his fellow workers at St Etienne University called for more research into the effects of microgravity, after their study of 15 astronauts from the Russian MIR station showed bone loss continued throughout space flights.
"Bone loss was especially striking in four astronauts," the scientists reported in the Lancet Medical Journal.
They measured the bone mineral density (BMD) of bones in the forearm(前臂) and lower leg of the astronauts who had spent one to six months in space.
The BMD loss was significant in the tibia(胫骨) of the lower leg, a weight-bearing bone, but barely changed in the radius(桡骨) of the forearm. "Our results indicate the need to investigate not only different bones, but also different areas of the same bone since not all sites of the skeleton (骨架) are similarly affected by space conditions," they added.
Without gravity the body isn’t bearing any weight so there is no need for calcium (钙) which makes bones strong, and it becomes empty into the bloodstream.
The research team suggested in future scientists should try to determine if the loss of bone density was only on weight-bearing bones on longer flights, also the possible recovery after returning to Earth.
60. French scientists did their research on Russian astronauts, because _______.
A. they only cared for the Russian astronauts
B. they were not interested in their own astronauts
C. the Russian government invited them to do their research
E.the Russian astronauts worked in space for a long time
61. Scientists have found that _______.
A. the BMD loss may cause serious illness to astronauts
B. the BMD loss may cause some change in astronauts’ bodies
C. astronauts shouldn’t care about the BMD loss
D. astronauts should take some calcium before space travel
62. What cause the BMD loss to astronauts, according to this passage?
A. The food they eat in space. B. The drinks they take in space.
C. The temperature in space. D. The gravity in space.
63. In the third paragraph, the word "striking" means ______.
A. unusual B. simple C. weak D. slow
C
TOKYO--- Our kids, the Japanese government announced, have forgotten how to behave. They can’t be bothered with housework. If they see someone being wronged, they probably look the other way.
Few countries have placed more importance on being well-behaved in public than Japan. The simplest requests for directions often result in guided tours. Smiling shopkeepers are still the rule. Lost wallets usually make their way to their owners.
But according to recent surveys(调查), all that may be going the way of the ancient hair-do(发式). And Japan’s government has gone into something of a crisis mode(危机时刻).
A Japanese Education Ministry survey formed late in 1999 and made public last month found that Japan moves behind other nations in teaching youngsters right from wrong.
It also reported that Japanese children are less helpful and do far less housework than their foreign peers(同龄人) in all classes. But they are better about taking dirty dishes to the kitchens after dinner.
In addition, Japanese kids are more likely to dry their hair and carry cell phones than their American and Chinese kids, according to another survey, by a Tokyo-based tank(专家小组).
Children in about 8 per cent of public school classrooms are so disorderly that teachers cannot hold lessons, further recent reports show. children refuse to sit, to listen or to stop talking.
Older and middle-aged Japanese continue to have a solid sense of good manners and social justice(正义,公正), says Professor Yoshina Hirano from Shinshu University, who was appointed to direct the ministry’s survey.
Despite the knowledge of good manners among adults, the breakdown in manners may be spreading, he said.
64. From the first paragraph, we can infer that _______.
A. the Japanese government had gone bad B. kids in Japan have a bad memory
C. kids in Japan seldom help their parents with housework
D. kids in Japan are too busy to help others
65. The second paragraph seems to show us that ________.
A. the education system of Japan is better than that of any other country
B. shopkeepers in Japan are too kind to their customers
C. Japanese kids often find wallets on their way to their schools
D. Japanese adults in public places act politely to each other
66. The underlined phrase "made public" in this passage means _______.
A. known to all B. used by everyone C. related to everyone D. found by everyone
67. It is implied(暗含) in this passage that Japanese kids _______.
A. spending much time doing their homework B. lead an advanced modern life
C. have their hair cut too often D. often wash dishes after dinner
D
Some spiders hunt on the ground, others build webs to trap their food, but the grass water spider catches its prey by running along the surface of the water.
This special water spider lives on the grassy banks of streams where mosquitoes, damsel flies and other insects come to feed and breed.
Although it is one of the largest spiders in New Zealand, it has an unusual ability. It doesn’t disturb the water as it waits for its meal, and there is barely a ripple(波纹) when it skims(掠过) across the surface at lightning speed to catch its prey.
Grass water spiders deal swiftly with larger insects like damsel flies by pulling their heads under the water and holding them there until they drown.
After a meal, the grass water spider spends up to half an hour grooming(修饰) itself. It wipes its eight eyes, brushes its antennae(天线), and takes special care to clean the hairs on its body.
It is the hairs that trap tiny bubbles(泡沫) of air so that the spider can run down a blade(刀刃) of grass and stay underwater for up to an hour when it is frightened. The hairs also keep the spider dry, even underwater.
It is only when the female spider is caring for young that she does not hunt on the water. After mating, she produces a larger egg sac(囊), which she carries around for five weeks. Once the eggs start to hatch, she attaches the sac to some blades of grass or a thistle. She then tears the sac open and releases the tiny spiderlings into the nursery web.
68. How does the grass water spider kill its prey?
A. in a web B. by drowning C. by poisoning D. with its antennae
69. the writer describes the special spider as "special" because _______.
A. it walks on water B. it has eight eyes
C. of its hairy appearance D. of the way it produces its young
70. The passage tells us that the spider ______.
A. feeds grass and thistles to its young. B. lives on blades of grass under the water
C. lives in the grass on the banks of streams D. eats a meal once every five weeks
71. The purpose of the passage is to _______.
A. convince readers that spiders are dangerous
B. indicate that the grass water spider is endangered
C. list all of the spiders that can be found in New Zealand
D. describe the characteristics of the grass water spider

Feeling tired lately? has the doctor said he cannot find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong.
Then consider this, you might be in a state of subhealth(亚健康).
Subhealth, also called the third state or GREy state, is explained as a border line (不明确的) state between health and disease. According to an investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 per cent of suhealthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam time.
Symptoms(症状) include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia(失眠), agitation(焦虑), and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, swearing and aching in the waist and legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work with rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open-air activities.
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional(营养的) elements--- vitamins and trace elements(微量元素)---that are important to the body.
Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract(消化道). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.
72. According to this passage, which of the following is right?
A. when you are in a state of subhealth, you should stay home and keep silent.
B. when you are in a state of subhealth, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine.
C. when you are in a state of subhealth, you should have yourself examined in foreign countries.
D. when you are in a state of subhealth, you should find out the reasons and relax yourself.
73. Middle-aged people may feel suhealthy, because ________.
A. they have used up their energy B. they have lost their living hopes
C. they have more pressure in life and work D. they begin to get older
74. As for food, experts suggest that _______.
A. we should never eat meat B. we should have meals with less salt and sugar
C. we should eat less D. we should have meals without salt or sugar
75. The underlined word "alternate" in this passage means _________.
A. arrange by turns B. cause to take place C. keep up D. take up

Dear editor,
Last year I wrote you a letter(published in your paper) about serious pollution in Huaihe River. our city government paid GREat attention to it and accepted my suggestions about stopping pollution of the Huaihe River and improving our surroundings. They have closed a chemical works which polluted the Huaihe River most, and moved and rebuilt a paper factory. We are strengthening the protection of nature and the fight (struggle) against pollution. Now birds have returned to both sides of the Huaihe River and people can eat fresh fish from the Huaihe River. We have planted a lot of young trees and are raising flowers to make our surroundings green. a water works has been built recently so that we now drink and use tap water instead of river water. We are living a clean and happy life.
Yours sincerely,
Wang Feng
