Congratulations第三部分阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)ANowadays credit cards almost replace cash and checks for both individuals and business. Each person’s social securely number would used as the card number. Firms would use their state identification number. Thus, every individual would be able to pay for everything by credit card---newspapers, donations, tolls, theater admissions, tuition, children’s allowances, everything. All salary payments would be credited directly to each individual’s account which would pay one’s bills, state taxes, and deposit(存款) what’s left---if anything---into a saving account. Just think of the convenience of getting rid of cash and checks and even eliminating loose change. No need, then, to worry as before, when you wanted to buy a newspaper and you only had a $20 bill.However, with a complete credit card economy, we would still have the problem of thefts of cards, forging of cards and lost cards. Children would lose their cards, mom would leave hers in the other purse, and dad would forget his in other jacket. If a girl did not have room in her bikini for her card, how could she buy a coke at the beach? You could not spend a cent without your card, so the credit card is really not that practical. Sometimes else is n eeded that is small, always with us, can’t be forged, and easily identifies our account. The answer is your thumbprint; everyone’s thumbprint would be recorded with his or her Social Security number!Using thumbprints satisfies all of the requirements. The details of everyone’s thumbprint would be picked up on a small scanning screen in the charging device at each store and business. Corporations, firms and government agencies would use the thumbprint of the treasurer or anyone authorized to sign check, even babies could be thumb printed at birth so they would be prepared to buy their first lollipop!The thumbprint is certainly a handy solution to our money problems. But one final word of advice: if your child is a thumb sucker, don’t be too quick to break t he habit---keeping his thumb in his mouth may save him money some day.56.The general idea of this passage is that ________.A. there are many serious problems in the credit economy.B. the biggest advantage of the credit card is its protection from theft.C. with necessary improvements the credit card economy is becoming the trend of modern economy.D. thumbprint has more advantages than credit card.57.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A.Without credit card one couldn’t make a living in the society.B. The credit card saves one’s trouble of carrying cash with him.C. The credit card can be used for both payment and deposit.D. The use of credit card also has its disadvantages.58.In the last sentence the writer______A. gives a piece of very useful advice.B. tells the harm of a baby’s habit of thumb-sucking.C. tries to be humorous about the topic of using the credit card.D. thinks that it’s necessary to teach children to be economical.B“Primary school children are abandoni ng books for computer games, as parents struggle to find the right balance between play, homework, reading and electronic entertainment at home,” Ed Balls, the Education Secretary, said yesterday.Mr. Balls called on parents to cut down on the amount of time they let their children play computer games and urged them to spend at least ten minutes a night reading bedtime stories.He added that a recent consultation by his department had found a huge groundswell of concern among parents about how best to regul ate their children’s computer play.“Across the country we should be getting our kids to play computer games a bit less and to read a bit more,” he said.His comments followed the publication of a major international comparison of reading among ten-year-olds which showed that England had fallen from third to fifteenth position in the past five years. Scotland fell from fourteenth to twenty-first place in the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study, run by Boston College in Massachusetts. Russian children came top in the study.The literacy report for England, produced for the Government by the National Foundation for Educational Research(NFER), found that 22percent of English children spent five hours or more playing computer or video games on a normal school day, with 37 percent spending more than three hours. This was exceeded only by the US and seven other countries.The report also found a clear association between the number of books at home and reading attainment. The 23percent of children with 200 or more books at home had significantly higher reading scores than the 10 percent with ten or fewer books.59.What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Playing computer games too much can greatly affect children’s learning grades.B. Parents are urged to make children play computer games less and read more.C. Ten-year-old children in different countries spend different amount of time on reading.D. It is necessary for children today to find a balance between playing and learning.60.According to the passage, ________spend the most time on reading.A. t he Russian children.B. the American children.C. the English children.D. the Scottish children. 61.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. How children perform at reading tests is mainly determined by the number of books they have at home.B. Children should keep at least ten books at home in order to get good reading scores.C. The number of books children have at home is obviously related to their reading tests.D. Only the children who have more than 200 books at home can perform well at reading tests.62.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. busy parents today are to blame for causing reduced reading times for their children.B. parents haven’t found a proper way to regulate their children’s computer play.C. children in developed countries show less interest in reading.D. all the parents spend less than 10 minutes reading bedtimes stories to their children.CHealth officials issued a warning over common energy-saving lightbulbs after research showed some types could potentially harm the skin and may even raise the risk of cancer.A study by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) found that some eco-friendly lightbulbs (灯泡) release levels of ultraviolet (UV) (紫外的) radiation that are above recognized safety limits. The agency urged people who work with lamps nearby to avoid spending more than one hour within a foot of the eco-friendly bulbs. The warning was directed at those using desk lamps for long periods, such as jewellery makers, and others who might have lights close to their faces, such as car mechanics.John O’Hagan, a scientist at the HPA’s centre for radiation, chemical and environmental dangers, began tests on the lightbulbs after patient groups raised concern about them. Among the groups were patients with a skin disease called lupus, which makes people highly sensitive to light.The tests measured UV light from the lamps and found the highest levels of UV radiation, measured 2cm from the lightbulbs, were equivalent to being outside in direct sunlight in the summer. The most immediate risk from the lightbulbs is a reddening of the skin similar to sunburn, but there is also a small increased risk of skin cancer associated with this, again similar to that of sunburn.The risk of health problems from the lightbulbs was not so high that people should remove them from their homes. People are advised to avoid using open lightbulbs for long close work until the problem is sorted out. It has confirmed that the government will not be reviewing its strategy on introducing energy efficient lightbulbs.63. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. All eco-friendly lightbulbs give out levels of UV radiation beyond safety limits.B. Desk lamp users will suffer skin disease caused by UV radiation.C. Symptoms of a skin disease led to the start of tests on the lightbulbs by HPA.D. Patients affected by exposure to UV radiation are highly sensitive to light.64. The underlined word “equivalent” in Paragraph 4 most probab ly means ________.A. equalB. vitalC. relevantD. harmful65. In order not to be harmed by the UV radiation from some lightbulbs, people should ________.A. stop using eco-friendly lightbulbs at homeB. avoid using open lightbulbs for long close workC. take care not to expose their skin to direct sunlightD. urge the government to ban the use of lightbulbs66. In the next part, the author would most probably further explain _________.A. why people needn’t remove the lightbulbs from their homesB. how researchers have planned to sort out the problemC. how long people should work close to the open lightbulbsD. how the government has responded to HPA’s discoveryDHaving driven almost thirty hours, I decided to stay in South Carolina for a few days. The next morning, I purchased a three-day fishing license and bait (饵料) before heading to the lake.Opening my trunk, I carefully took out my fishing gear (用具), put it on the lake’s edge, baited up and beganto fish.“Good morning,” s aid someone, walking up from behind me.Turning around, I saw a game warden (猎场管理员) with a clip-board.“Good morning,” I said, nodding my head.“Catch any fish?” he asked.“No sir, just relaxing and killing time.”“Can I see your fishing license?”I handed him the license I had purchased at the bait shop.“Can I see your driver’s license, too?” he requested.“I see the name on the driver’s license is spelled Kiser and the name on the fishing license is Kaiser,” said the warden.“The gentleman at the bait shop must have written it wrong,” I told him.“Well, I’m afraid I’ll have to write you up for fishing with an invalid (无效的)license and take away your fishing gear.”“You’ve got to be kidding,” I responded, with a surprised look on my face.Sure enough I was written up and my fishing gear taken away. I was told that I would have to pay a fine and that my stuff would be sold at auction.I stood there almost in tears as he drove away. Those rods and reels were very special to me. I had used them over twenty years, fishing with my friends, who were now all dead.After returning home in Georgia, I telephoned South Carolina trying to explain the situation, but no one would listen. I was told that the Department of Fish and Game had a “zero tolerance” for fishing and hunting violations. Finally, in tears I paid the fine and gave up the fight.Nine months later, I received a letter. I had no idea who it was from as there was no return address. On a plain piece of notebook paper was written “Auction for the Department of Fish and Game held this Saturday at 11:00 am.”On Saturday, at six in the morning I headed to South Carolina. By ten o’clock I had found the auction. There were numerous boats and piles upon piles of fishing equipment. All at once, there it was—my wonderful stuff all thrown in a pile as if it was worth nothing.As the auction began I took my seat. In my wallet was twenty-seven dollars. For more than an hour I waited for my property to be brought to the auction block.“We have three rods and reels here. I guess we will sell this as a unit,” said the auctioneer.“50 dollars,” yelled someone in the crowd.“51 dollars,” yelled another man.I rose from my seat and walked out of the auction.“66 dollars,” I heard as the bidding continued.“100 dollars,” came another bid. The auction became silent.“100 dollars once, 100 dollars twice, 100 dollars three times. Sold for 100 dollars,” went the auctioneer.I walked to my truck, got in and just sat there. Suddenly I heard something hit the side of my truck. Turning around, I saw the back of a man putting my three rods and reels into my truck. It was the same game warden who wrote me the ticket almost a year ago!As I got out of the truck he stuck out his hand and said, “I wasn’t wrong. It’s th e law that is wrong.”I shook his hand, thanked him and drove away. I cried as I crossed the South Carolina Georgia state line.67. The game warden asked the writer for his driving license to __________.A. check if his name was correctly spelledB. make sure he had his own driving licenseC. find out if his fishing license was validD. find an excuse to take away his fishing gear68.

It didn’t make any sense to pr ohibit people from fishing freely in South Carolina.B. The writer did break the law by fishing with an invalid license whatever the reason.C. The writer should have been allowed a chance to explain and get his things back.D. The auction should not have been held to sell the boats and fishing equipment.第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
