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（A、B、C和D）中, 选出最佳选项.

A

Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another. It doesn’t matter where you live in the middle of a modern city or a faraway village,the chances that you will be disturbed by jet aeroplanes,transistor radios, oil-powered engines,etc,are almost everywhere.We seem to be getting used to noise,too.Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they are working.

Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be very frightening experience for human beings.However,some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud,and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓).The noise level in some disco is far above the

usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.

One recent report about noise and concentration(专心) suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration,what really affects their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise.It goes on to say that a background noise,which doesn’t change too much (music,for example )may even help people to concentrate.

56.The best title for this passage is________.

A.Noisy Life B.Background Noise C.Disturbed Concentration D.Changeable Noise 57.From this passage, the pollution of noise________.

A..doesn’t matter much B.has become worse everywhere C.has become better in big cities D.has become better in villages 58.“Background music” in the passage means________.

A.music played in the concert B.a kind of noise coming into your ears C.music helps people to concentrate D.music played while people are working 59.Some people may have their hearing hurt_________.

A.while they are in complete silence B.while they are dancing violently

C.while they are listening to pop music D.while they are listening to soft

B

Without mutual(相互的) respect,any relationship will be an unhappy one.People who respect each other:a) value each other’s opinions,b) listen to each other,and c) disagree without screams or insults(侮辱). And remember,your parents have lived longer than you—don’t discount their experience and knowledge.

Your parents want to know what’s going on in your life.If you don’t tell them they won’t know when you need their help or whether they can trust you.Tell them what you’re doing,share your thoughts and feelings with them,and ask for their advice for your problems ( you don’t have to follow it ).Communication builds closeness.Trust is your key to freedom.The way to build trust is through honesty and responsibility.Honesty means you don’t lie or manipulate (作假). Responsibility means that you are reliable and make good choices to use good judgment.When your parents trust you,it’s a lot easier for them to say “Yes.”

These guidelines (指导方针) work both ways.If sometimes,your parents break any of these guidelines,talk to them about it. Pick a time when you are both calm and feeling good toward each other (never when you are angry).Then,explain to them what they did,how it makes you feel,and what you’d like them to do instead.

Unfortunately,these guidelines don’t always work. Since we can only control what we do,and not what our parents do,sometimes we just cannot change a bad relationship.If this is the case,try to use these guidelines to at least improve things a little,and talk with a trusted adult who may be able to help you. 60.The main idea of the second paragraph is about_______

A.feelings B.advice C.closeness D.communication 61.From this passage we know that the writer may be_______.

A.an editor B.an expert C.a doctor D.a worker

62.Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?

A.The writer thinks that there is no need to improve a bad relationship. B.Both your parents and you should respect each other. C.Building trust is necessary and important.

D.Your parents have more life experiences than you. 63.The main purpose of the passage is_______.

A.to show that your parents want to know what’s going on in your life. B.to discuss how to have great relationship with your parents.

C.to discuss how to talk with a trusted adult who may be able to help you D.to discuss how to respect your parents.

In the north of Scotland there is a lake called Loch Ness.It is the biggest lake in Britain.It is over thirty kilometres long and in places nearly 300 meters deep.It is cold and dark and not many people went there until after 1930.Then a road was made around the lake.Holiday makers began to use the road,and this was when the stories began.

Someone said that he had seen a monster (巨人) in the lake.He said it was twelve meters long. It had a long neck and a small head.Then someone else said he had seen it.Others said the same thing and in 1933 a London doctor took a photo.It looked like a monster with a long neck and a thick body but the photo was not dear.The newspapers printed the picture and called it the Loch Ness monster,or \

Then the argument began.Some people,however,were certain there was something living in the lake.Others said there was nothing there.

In 1961,a lot of people joined together to make a real effort to see and photograph the monster if there was one!Several times people thought they saw something but after ten years there was still no real proof.

Later underwater television cameras were used,but no one found any real proof.However,they did find something interesting:a huge underwater cave.It was big enough to be home of a monster, but of course,this was not a proof.

In 1975,however, some American scientists formed a search group.They used an underwater camera.It took pictures every seventy seconds.Some of the pictures seemed to show a red-brown creature.Its body was about four meters long and had a very ugly head on the end of a four meter neck.Many people then began to believe in the monster.But even today we can not be certain. 68.Before 1930, __________.

Transportation and communication networks bring people together.Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers ( 障碍) to transportation and communication.

In many countries,laws stop people from moving freely from place to place.Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race,religion,or nationality.In the Middle Ages,for example,Jews were often
