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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Somehow Rey had managed to struggle free from the rope around his neck, after being left to die a slow death as punishment for being a bad Spanish greyhound.
It is believed that 50,000 greyhounds are killed by their owners in Spain each year after they grow too old, or turn out to be too slow to hunt with.
Dogs have also been found thrown into wells, burnt alive and even injected with poison.
But Rey's intended fate was, even within the levels of cruelty usually shown to Spanish hunting dogs, especially cruel. The rope around his neck had been set at a height so that his front paws could not touch the ground, meaning that he was intended to stand on his back legs until he was too tired to support himself. When his legs finally became too tired to move, the rope should have done its work.
“They call it the typewriting death, because the dog's back legs struggled against the ground and make the clicking sound of a typewriter,” said Albert Sorde, of the SOS Galgos greyhound rescue group. “It is a punishment they save for greyhounds that are thought to have made their owners lose face.”
“Rey's throat was severely damaged but we managed to find a vet to operate and, though it was expensive, he survived,” he said.
Greyhounds in Spain are used for hunting hares (野兔). “The dogs are meant to imitate the swerves (转向) of the hares,” said Sorde. “Those who don't, and make their owners look bad, are called "dirty greyhounds" and are most likely to be killed by the typewriter method.”
56. _______ is one of the methods used to kill dogs.
A. Kicking B. Burying C. Shooting D. Drowning
57. The underlined word “vet” in Paragraph 6 means “_____”.
A. equipment B. ambulance C. animal medicine D. animal doctor
58. What can you infer from the passage?
A. The typewriting death is the cruelest of all as it is a slow death.
B. Rey is one of the fifty thousand greyhounds killed so far in Spain.
C. Rey was punished because he had not been loyal to his owner.
D. It is the Spanish hunters not greyhounds that should be punished.
59. The passage mainly tells the readers about ________.
A. the typewriting death of dogs B. the cruel killing of dogs in Spain
C. how Spanish dogs hunt hares D. how Rey was saved by rescuers
B
It’s difficult to get the young to listen to anything you say these days. They have shut themselves off from the world with earplugs attached to their personal stereos such as MP3 players. And with more than three million iPods and MP3 players sold in Britain every year, it’s not just the young who have been in the personal stereo habit. But at what risk to our hearing?
When MP3 players and iPods are turned to full volume, the sound can reach 104 dB (分贝), the maximum allowed by EU safety standards but almost as loud as a pneumatic drill (气钻) (110dB).
The advice from scientists is to turn down the volume and limit use of such machines to an hour a day; the producers also recommend taking regular breaks to give the ears a rest. Yet research by the Royal National Institute for the Deaf (RNID) showed that 39 per cent of the young don’t practise safe listening. The worry is that they could be creating problems later in life.
People with good hearing have tiny hair cells that line the inner ear and transmit signals to the brain, which it interprets as sound. When repeatedly exposed to uncomfortably loud noises (loud is defined as above 80dB), including music through headphones and at concerts, those hair cells require a rush of blood or oxygen, otherwise “they effectively die”. Temporary hearing loss or tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is a sign that hair cells are trying to recover, but over time recovery becomes impossible.
At UK cinemas, sound levels of 110dB have been recorded. Music played in nightclubs is so loud as to be comparable, in some cases, to standing two feet away from an aeroplane as it takes off (110dB). The level at which pain starts to happen for sound is 140dB.
60. When you use MP3 player, you should do the following except ________.
A. turn it to full volume B. take regular breaks
C. use it less than an hour a day D. turn down the volume
61. Which of the following is true?
A. MP3 and iPods players are always harmful to hearing.
B. 3 million young people use MP3 players in Britain.
C. Most young British people are suffering hearing loss.
D. Over half of the British young people practise safe listening.
62. The highest safe sound shouldn’t be louder than_________.
A. 80dB B. 140dB C. 104dB D. 110dB
63. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A warning that falls on deaf ears B. MP3 players―hearing killers
C. The causes of hearing loss D. Hair cells suffering from loud noises
C
the struggles and triumphs of black America as a
photographer for Life and then became Hollywood’s
first major black director with “The Learning Tree”
and the hit “Shaft,” died Tuesday, his family said.
He was 93.
“Nothing came easy,” Parks wrote in his autobiography
(自传). “I was just born with a need to explore every
tool shop of my mind, and with long searching and
hard work. I became devoted to my restlessness.”
He covered everything from fashion to politics to sports during his 20 years at Life, from 1948 to 1968.
But as a photographer, he was perhaps best known for his gritty photo essays on the grinding effects of poverty in the United States and abroad and on the spirit of the civil rights movement.
Parks was born Nov. 30, 1912, in Fort Scott, the youngest of 15 children. In his 1990 autobiography, “Voices in the Mirror,” he remembered it as a world of racism and poverty, but also a world where his parents gave their children love, discipline and religious faith.
He went through a series of jobs as a teen and young man, including piano player and railroad dining car waiter. The breakthrough came when he was about 25, when he bought a used camera in a pawn shop for $7.50. He became a freelance fashion photographer. A year later he went to Vogue magazine and then to Life in 1948.
“Reflecting now, I realize that, even within the limits of my childhood vision, I was on a search for pride, meanwhile taking measurable glimpses of how certain blacks, who were fed up with racism, rebelled against it,” he wrote.
When he accepted an award from Wichita State University in May 1991, he said it was “another step forward in my making peace with Kansas and Kansas making peace with me.”
64. How many jobs did Parks go through in his life?
A. 2. B. 3 C. 4. D. 5.
65. From the passage we can know Parks’ main contribution is ________ .
A. taking a lot of photos B. directing excellent films
C. his struggle for blacks’ civil rights D. writing fiction and music
66. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to _______.
A. Fort Scout B. autobiography C. his job D. his childhood
67. Which of the following is true?
A. Parks worked for Vogue magazine for about 10 years.
B. Life is an excellent film that Parks directed.
C. Parks was given an award for his autobiography.
D. Parks wanted to own a tool shop when young.
D
Australian flag designs by readers of The Sun-Herald
We received dozens of responses after inviting readers to send in their designs for a new flag. The designs we received include:
James Anthony, Drummoyne
James reduces the Union Jack down in size and changes its shape to become a reminder of the British tradition rather than deleting it altogether. At the same time he suggests enlarging the stars of the Southern Cross. His design attempts to use the best of both worlds in a newly designed flag.
As he says, "the British part of the Australian Flag is too big and the Australian bits are too small. When you make the stars bigger the Australian flag can look impressive".
Joe Bollen, Turramurra
Joe’s flag has the main elements of a risen sun, white horizon (地平线), red earth at the base and the Southern Cross. He intends to make the risen sun a special Australian symbol on the flag. He believes it represents life. The Southern Cross shows that we live in the Southern Hemisphere.
Maria Ieraci, Sydney
Maria deleted the Union Jack but otherwise kept the flag as is with the Southern Cross and Federation Star. She says, "There is only one correct way to change the Australian flag" and that is "to drop the Union Jack―when Australia becomes a Republic", which she hopes will be before 2010.
Ron Bennett, Sydney
Ron recommends using the Aboriginal colours but replacing their image of the sun with the map of Australia. He says, "Australia is unique being an island continent with an instantly recognisable outline at that" and "this will leave no doubt as to which country the flag belongs".
68. Which of the four designs can remind you of the past of the country?
A. Joe’s. B. Maria’s. C. Ron’s. D. James’.
69. The Southern Cross in some of the designs represents _____.
A. the spirit of the nation B. the location of the country
C. the tradition of Britain D. the expectations of the people
70. What does the Union Jack refer to?
A. The British flag. B. A former British ruler.
C. A group of stars. D. A former symbol of Australia.
71. Which of the following shows the correct matches of the designs and their designers?
A. by Maria. by Ron. by Joe. by James.
B. by Joe. by Maria. by James. by Ron.
C. by Ron. by James. by Maria. by Joe.
D. by James. by Joe. by Ron. by Maria.

In Western Europe homelessness has quietly been climbing to levels not seen since the end of World War II. According to the European Federation of National Organizations Working with the Homeless (FEANTSA), at least 3 million Western Europeans are homeless this winter ― and between one-fifth and one-third of them are members of homeless families. Think homelessness is an American problem? Think again. As a percentage of population, it's as bad in Europe as it is in the U. S., where there are an estimated (估计) 2 million homeless.
One of the fastest-growing parts of Europe's homeless population is families. After all, Europe sees itself as kinder, gentler and more socially responsible than the U.S., with an extensive, expensive social safety net that's designed to protect the most helpless sections of the populace (平民). But that might just be the point: it's easier to be homeless in Europe, where even the down-and-out get social-welfare checks.
What's even more scary is that 3 million is almost certainly an underestimate: most European countries simply don't know where to look or how to count the homeless. Government data are confusing and unreliable. Austria and Spain have no official statistics at all. Germany, France, Italy and the U.K. have what are best described as estimates, many of them regarded by organizations that work with the homeless. INSEE, France's national statistics agency, admits that its official count of 86,500 is only based on the number of adults that went at least once to a soup kitchen or an accommodation service. FEANTSA estimates that the real number of French homeless is closer to 200,000, but many aid organizations claim that even this figure is too low. The British government claims there are just 596 rough sleepers across the country, but those who work in London's shelters say there are more than 1,000 in the capital alone.
72. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. There are about 3 million homeless families in Western Europe at present.
B. Homelessness percentage in Western Europe is larger than that in the USA.
C. Western Europe homelessness has got to the highest point in the past 60 years.
D. Homelessness is no longer an American problem but a Western European one.
73. What can be the cause of more and more European families becoming homeless?
A. Europe has become much poorer than the US.
B. Europe shows too much pity on poor people.
C. Europe has a larger population than the US .
D. Europe is too proud of its social safety net.
74. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. it’s easy to find out how many people are homeless in western countries
B. there are no homelessness problems in countries like Austria and Spain
C. there are more homeless people in France than in other European countries
D. not all the data that are collected by the European governments are reliable
75. How does the author feel about the situation in Europe?
A. Interested. B. Cheerful. C. Easy. D. Worried.

One possible version:
Recently we have held a class meeting to discuss what is considered to be honorable behavior and what is shameful. To be frank, some students don’t respect their teachers or parents. Some don’t take their studies seriously and cheat in exams. Still some litter around, making the school dirty.
It is really a pity to see all this in our school. We think it honorable to obey the law and rules and care much about our class. It is also worthy of praise to study hard. On the hand, it is shameful to break school rules, to be selfish or to make little effort to achieve success.
To improve the present situation, what shall we do in future? Firstly, set ourselves a goal and work hard to achieve our ambitions. Secondly, respect others and think more of them than of ourselves. In addition, we should try hard to keep the environment clean.
