As you know, the UN    68   the lives of people everywhere. The organization is involved in peacekeeping    69    to help end some of the world’s horrible conflicts. Watch any TV report  70    places where there is a war, and you    71    see soldiers wearing berets…

I have visited many countries in Africa. Recently, I was fortunate enough to travel to South Africa, where I met some women who have   72   themselves into a group. They    73     one rand (approximately 1.35 yuan) per day from each other and add it to a    74     of money the government gives them. With this, the women have enough money to buy    75     materials to make basket. They then sell these at the market. With luck their group will be able to expand and maybe set up a shop. This group was set up by UNIFEM, the United Nations    76     Fund for Women. There are lots of such programmes and funds under the    77    of the UN, and these have helped millions of people across the world.

第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题，每小题2，满分40分)

A

When he thought of the past,my grandfather would sometimes show us photographs of himself at school. They were brown and faded,and it was hard to believe that the blurred figure of the little boy in the short trousers and socks could ever have been Grandfather. Besides,he wore a cap---andthe boys in the photographs wore caps pulled so far forward that half of their faces were obscured. When Grandfather asked us to pick him out from the group,we would surely point to the wrong boy.

On one such occasion my younger sister,aged six,burst into tears when Grandfather proudly guided her finger to the right boy. "How could that boy be you?"she cried. "He should have a beard.” We were,of course,all convinced that grandfathers should have beards ,preferably white and bushy,like  our owngrandfather's.

"I wasa good scholar ,”Grandfather would say,wagging his beard over the photographs."I should have been top of the c1ass if I hadn't had to get up at six every morning to milk the cows and chop the wood,and again when I came home from school.”

"But Saturdays?What did you do on Saturdays?"

"Saturdays,if it was fine, I’d be out all day in the fields with the men,"replied Grandfather."And if it was wet,I’d be helping my mother with odd jobs round the house.There wasn't much time for studying."

We all tried hard to imagine what it would have been like to have been Grandfather getting up at crack of dawn and never,obviously,having amoment for himself.It seemed we had learnt something from what Grandfather had said about his childhood.

56.In the first paragraph of this passage,what theauthor really tells us is that_______.

A.his grandfather used to wear short trousers,socks and a cap as well

B.it was difficult to tell which of the boys inthe photographs was Grandfather

C.he didn't believe Grandfather wore a cap pulled forward when he was at school

D.it was fun to watch boys in the photographs wearing caps pulled forward

57. The author's sister burst into tears because________.

A.she did not get a chance to pick outGrandfather in the photographs

B.she was told which was the right boybefore she herself could pick him out

C.other children did not agree with her thatGrandfather should have had a beard

D.she found Grandfather in the photographsdid not have a beard

58.When Grandfather said,"I should have been topof the class….",he meant________.

A if he had had more time for studying,hewould have been the best in his class

B.he should have spent more time studyingrather than playing ballgames

C.his school days should not have been so hard and miserable

D.he could have never been the best studenteven if he had studied still harder

59. In the last paragraph the author said,"We all tried hard to imagine…"because________.

A. the figures of the boys in the photographswere small and blurred

B. the children had never experiencedlife like that of Grandfather

C.the photographs Grandfather showed them were brown and faded

D.Grandfather failed to tell them about his childhood in detail

B

Particles from car exhausts generate more persistent clouds but less rain, new research suggests. Furthermore, putting more of these particles into the atmosphere reduces the low-level winds, which could reduce the amount of wind power available in very polluted regions. The dry but populated regions may therefore suffer a triple blow as a result of vehicle pollution：less water, less hydropower and less wind energy.

Scientists studied the effects of aerosol（浮质）pollution from cars and industry. They correlated satellite data on wind speeds and the amount of aerosol particles in the atmosphere above the South Coast Basin in California and above China. Results showed that higher concentrations of aerosols were closely associated with slower ground winds. Scientists then used computer models to support the idea that there was a cause and effect relationship behind this correlation.

Particles floating in the atmosphere block energy from the Sun, preventing it from warming the surface of the Earth. Cooler surface temperatures during the day means the low—level and slow moving air does not rise up and mix with the faster winds at higher altitudes. Slower winds also induce less evaporation from oceans, rivers and lakes. And finally, once clouds have formed, they store less moisture in the form of rain. This is because raindrops form around small particles— dust, for instance, or pollution. With more particles in the atmosphere, it takes longer for enough water to condense（凝结）onto a particle to form a raindrop. And if the cloud of fine droplets（小滴）moves to a drier area before its would-be rain can rail, the moisture evaporates once more and the cloud disappears.

Scientists note their new work does not contradict previous findings that suggest global warming might lead to more tropical storms, because there is far less particulate（微粒的）pollution over the oceans.

60. The first paragraph mainly talks about        .

A. the results of vehicle pollution

B. an introduction to particles from car exhausts

C. less wind energy in polluted regions

D. less water caused by vehicle pollution

61. From this passage we can learn that        .

A. scientists supported their idea by using material models

B. the new study is contrary to the previous findings

C. if there are more particles in the atmosphere, there will be more raindrops

D. there is a cause and effect relationship between wind speeds and particle pollution

62. The underlined word “induce” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean       _ .

A. reduce         B. persuade           C. cause             D. produce

63. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Pollution and Global Warming          B. Car, Wind and Rain

C. Industry Pollution                    D. How Rain Forms

The publication of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" gladdens booksellers across China. The British and American editions were No. 1 and No. 3 respectively on the sales chart of the Beijing Xidan Book Building last week. The book's poster is highlighted and news about the book can often be heard on the radio.

Why is the book so attractive to children? With curious mood, the author got a copy of "Harry Potter". Originally, I wanted to glance over it and made some criticisms. But, out of expectation, the author has been deeply attracted by the magic world. On the other hand, one cannot help asking: where is  our own "Harry Potter"?

The Chinese nation has a history of 5,000 years, which cannot be regarded as short and its culture as not profound. With a vast market of youngsters, China did publish many books popular among children. However, why are the present works not as good as those imported?

There come two major reasons: Firstly, quite a number of children's books are of strong sense of teaching, and lack interest and entertainment. Children often have a feeling of being "educated". No wonder they don't like them. Secondly, children's reading materials involving "idiom stories" and "Chinese talents' stories", though always in different covers, are usually much the same or plagiarized. One knows the ending as early as in the beginning. In final analysis, the authors of the books seldom take children's requirements into consideration.

As a matter of fact, each child has his own wonderful imagination. They long to understand the world and nature. Similarly they have their own choices. They dislike similar stories, even if the stories are excellent. First-class reading for children should be very interesting, which contains knowledge and the essence of national culture, which are presented in children's language.

Market is a touchstone for products. The theory also holds true for cultural products. It is hoped that the authors of children's books can learn something from the good market of "Harry Potter" and write out more and better books loved by children.

64. The disadvantages of  our books are the following except_______.

A. they have little sense of interest and entertainment

B. many of  our books are of the same

C. the authors didn’t pay much attention to the children’s tastes.

D.  Our authors never know what 七彩教育网our children need.

65. The reason why the imported book is so popular is that _______.

A. it has no sense of teaching

B. it opens a wonderful world for children to explore

C. it is only written in children’s language

D. it is advertised more on TV or poster.

66. What’s the feeling of the writer when he finishes reading “Harry Potter”?

A. He is so angry that he wants to criticize the book

B. He is also attracted by the book

C. He is shocked by the book, meanwhile he is worried about  our books.

D. He can’t help looking for Harry Potter.

67. What does the writer mean by writing “where’s  our own Harry Potter”?

A. We are short of books for children

B. We Chinese must produce books as popular as “Harry Potter”.

C. Authors should write books in the same way as “Harry Potter”

D.  Our authors are hoped to make the market of  our books for children take off

Nevertheless,jogging and dieting, carried to extremes,can be harmful.Many confused joggers overdo and finally suffer from ankle and foot damage.Dieting,fortunately,becomes only a temporary means for shedding a few pounds while the body lose the balanced nutrition it requires,so most dieters cannot keep on diets.Above all,common sense should be the keystone for any dieting and exercise plan.

There is a debate going on in America public schools over the best way to teach English to foreign students. Many schools use bilingual education. This means that students study their core subjects such as science, mathematics and social studies in their native tongues. They also take a few h ours of English.

Recently, many educators have begun to criticize bilingual education. Opponents claim that bilingual education slows not only students’ development of language skills but also their adjustment to American life. They often remain separated from the mainstream student body.

These critics have proposed the immersion method (沉浸式语言教学法). This means that students take only English classes until they can function effectively in regular subject classes. Proponents of the immersion theory argue that in order to prepare these foreign students for college or the job market, they must be able to communicate in English.

Despite this disagreement, nearly all educators agree that English is a necessary tool for improving the quality of one’s life in America.

72. In bilingual education programs, students ______.

A. study in their native countries

B. study their core subjects in their native languages

C. study only English until they can function effectively in regular subject classes

D. mainly work on adjustment to American life

73. A proponent is someone who ______.

A. supports a certain idea or policy      B. is against a certain idea or policy

C. uses the immersion method of teaching English   D. is a school administer

74. According to the article, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Nearly all educators agree that English is important for foreign students.

B. Students in bilingual education programs are often separated from American students

C. Nearly all educators agree that bilingual education is best for teaching English to foreign students.

D. Students with good English language skills have better chances for college or the job market.

75. What is the author’s opinion about the bilingual education in America?

A. He is for it strongly             B. He is against it strongly

C. He doesn’t show his own opinion  D. He is against all the educators
