Ⅲ．Reading Comprehension(30 points，2 points each)

       从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题卷上将相应的字母涂黑。

Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage．

    My top priorities are school，sports and my family．Track and tennis are the  sports I enjoy most．During the track season，I have practice Monday through  Friday, mostly at 7:30 a．m．Tennis is a yearlong sport for me，and I never get a break．I don’t mind this，and look forward to practices，which are three hours，three times a week．The only thing I dislike about running and tennis is when they conflict．It pains me whenever I have to choose between them．

    I also take school extremely seriously．I am a straight-A student and am looking to keep this up．Unlike many parents，mine do not get angry if I get a  grade lower than an A．They simply advise me to go talk to my teachers to find  out if there is any work I could do to bring the grade up．I appreciate this because  it seems as though I get enough criticism from myself

    One of my greatest struggles is trying to find time to spend with my family  and friends．I hate that something has to be sacrificed．For me，that thing is my  friends．At times my friends get angry with me，which annoys me because I really  want to hang out with them but can’t because of my time constraints．I wish they  knew that I miss them．I also long for the nights when I used to relax with my  family．Now I come home from meets and practices to eat and finish homework． Many times I am exhausted．

    It may sound as though there must be someone making me live in this  manner．Well，there is：me．I choose to spend my time this way, even though it  may mean less time for friends，family and relaxing．Call me crazy, but the reason  for my overscheduled lifestyle is the love I have for all my chosen activities．Just  like with my schooling，I have long-term goals for the sports with which I am  involved．Those goals drive me to keep up the hard work．I enjoy what I do，not  planning to stop anytime soon．

  21．The writer feels painful when he has to           ．                  （C）

     A．balance schoolwork and sports        B．handle conflicts with his friends

     C．choose between track and tennis       D．practice sports all the year round

     A．a hardworking student                B．a highly gifted student

     C．an all-excellent student             D．a straight forward student

  23．The writer thanks his parents for           ．                        （A）

     C．to complete his practices            D．to go out with his friends

  25．In the passage the writer mainly talks about          ．                （B）

     A．his love for the family              B．his fully-scheduled life

     C. his craziness for spots              D．his great goals in study

Passage Two

 Questions 26 t0 30 are based on the following passage．

      Smart phones do many things these days：make and receive calls．send e-mails，take photos and videos．But one thing they Can do that phone companies  don't advertise is keep a secret watch on you．As long as you don’t leave home without your phone，that handy．gadget keeps a record of everywhere you go—a  record the government can then get from your telephone company．

When you carry a cell phone，it is constantly sending signals about where  You are. It signals the nearby cell-phone towers about every seven seconds so it  can be ready to make and receive calls．When it does，the phone is also telling the  company that owns the towers where you are at that moment—data the companv  then stores away．There is also a second kind of locational data that phone  companies have，thanks to a unit in most smart phones now for locating positions．  [his IS even more accurate—unlike the towers，which can only tell a general area  where you may be，this unit can often reveal exactly where you are at any given  moment within a matter of meters．

    The American government’s position is that it should be able to get most of this data if it decides it is relevant to an investigation，with no need for a search  permit. If the government needs a permit，it would have to show a judge evidence  that there was probable cause to believe that the cell-phone user committed a  crime. Without this requirement，the government can get locational data prettv  much anytime it wants．

    The law is unclear about how easy it should be for the government to get its hands on this locational data．A federal court pronounced last week that in some cases the government may need a search permit．That’s a step forward，but it's not good enough．Some hearings on this issue are being held．It is time for Congress to act．It should make clear that information from cell phones is deeply private，and that without a search permit，the government cannot have it．

26．The word“gadget”(para．1)probably refers to           ．             （C）

      A．a computer                         B．a camera

      C．a cell phone                       D．a recorder

  27．A cell-phone owner can be precisely located because his phone            ．（D）

      A．records his whereabouts

      B．sends signals at intervals

      C．makes and receives calls

      D．has a unit for positioning

  28．The American government holds that          ．                         （B）

      A．it should obtain the data with a search permit

      B．it should have free access to the locational data

      C．it has no need for a permit on urgent occasions

      D．it has full right to investigate cell—phone owners

29．The issue conceming the use of locational data should be solved by         ．（A）

      A．Congress                           B．the public

      C．federal coups                      D．phone companies

 30．The use of locational data should be regulated to protect the owner’s         ．

（D）

      A．safety                             B．freedom

      C．reputation                         D．privacy

Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage．

    There seems never to have been a civilization without toys，but when and how they developed is unknown．They probably came about just to give children something to do．

    In the ancient world，as is today，most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with others．In societies where social roles are rigidly determined，boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers．This is true because boys and girls are being prepared，even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world．

    What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same．The changes have been mostly in terms of skill，process，and technology．It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world andt11eir persistence to the present that iS marvelous．In some African nations，the Americas，China，and Japan，generally the same kinds of toys appeared．Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings．Nearly every civilization had dolls(玩偶)，little weapons，toy soldiers，tiny animals and vehicles．

    Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form，they have not been subject to leaps in technology that characterize inventions for adult use．The progress from the wheel to the ox-cart to the automobile is a direct line of upward  movement．The progress from a rattle(拨浪鼓)used by a baby in 3 000 BC to one used by an infant today，however is not characterized by invention．Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials．

31．According to paragraph l，it remains unknown          ．               （B）

     A．why toys were invented             B．when toys began to exist

     C．when toys became popular           D．what toys could do for kids

  32．The passage indicates that toys can help children to           ．      （C）

     A．develop their sense of duty        B．imitate their parents’trades

     C．prepare for their future roles     D．understand their surroundings

  33．The history of toys indicates that toys are not            ．         （B）

     A．regarded as an art form            B．affected by time and space

     C．subject to cultural differences    D．1iable to the progress of skills

  34．Toys worldwide share the characteristic of           ．              （D）

     A．introducing new skills             B．shaping new lifestyles

     C．encouraging inventions             D．reflecting local customs

 35．The development of the rattle reflects           .                   （A）

     A．changing artistic tastes           B．1eaps in material invention

     C．the value of artistic creation     D．a straight upward movement

VIl．Translation from English into Chinese(15 points)

71．将下面的短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题卷上。

In order to solve the pollution problems that began from the mid。20th century a number of environmental protection organizations have formed．However, the most important pollution fighter is perhaps each individual person．If everyone makes the effort，pollution can be greatly reduced．

    In a way，some pollution can be controlled in daily life．For example．solid wastes are a major cause of land pollution，but many wastes，such as empty cans，glass bottles, old car tires and newspapers，can be recycled．Some places pay people to bring in used goods for recycling．Moreover, one major factor in air pollution  is  that many people  use cars needlessly． So public transportation．blcycles， and walking are all good choices to prevent pollution．

    为解决始于二十世纪中期的污染问题，一些环保组织应运而生。但是，最重要的环保志士或许还是每个人。如果人人都做出努力，污染就会大幅减少。

    一定程度上，某些污染在日常生活中就能得以控制。例如，固体废弃物是导致土壤污染的一个主要原因，但许多废弃物，如空罐头盒、玻璃瓶、旧轮胎和旧报纸，都可以循环利用。有些地方收购人们手中的旧物并加以利用。此外，造成空气污染的一个主要因素在于很多人用车无度。因此，乘坐公共交通、骑自行车和步行都是防止污染的正确选择。
