III 阅读(共两节。满分40分) 第一节 阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Bamboo is one of the nature’s most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass. Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains(平原). Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green. Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables(绳索) that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong. In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills(钻) can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered. 41. How is bamboo like grass? A. It is thin and easy to cut. B. It grows everywhere. C. It grows quickly after its cut short. D. It is short and green. 42. The sentence “while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across.” means “Some other bamboo plants may grow to be very _______.” A. short B. strong C. thick D. tall 43. From the text we know ______. A. most people call bamboo plant trees B. a bamboo plant may grow 4.5 meters in three days C. the bamboo plant changes its colors when it grows D. a bridge held by bamboo cable was built thousands of years ago 44. Why did the engineers teach the poor farmers in Africa to make use of bamboo? A. Because it is cheap. B. Because it is colorful. C. Because it drills fast. D. Because it is used by Asians. 45. Which of the following is NOT true? A. There are many different kinds of bamboo with different colors. B. Cables made of bamboo can last for over a thousand years. C. Bamboo can be used for buildings, bridges and watering projects(工程). D. Bamboo plants are able to grow well in any part of the world.

We know the kiss as a form of expressing love. But long before it became , it was customary in many countries to use it as an expression of respect. Some native Africans kiss the ground over which a chief has walked. Kissing the hand and foot has been a mark of respect from the earliest times. The early Romans kissed the mouth or eyes as a form of noble greeting. One Roman emperor allowed his important nobles to kiss his lips, but the less important ones had to kiss his hands, and the least important ones were only allowed to kiss his feet! Most likely the kiss as a form of affection can date back to ancient times when a mother would touch her child gently, just as a mother does today. It only remained for society to accept this as a custom for expressing affection between arms. The first society where the kiss became accepted in marriage was in France. From France the kiss spread rapidly all over Europe. As marriage customs developed, the kiss became a part of the wedding ceremony. Today we regard it as an expression of love and tenderness. But there are still many places in the world where the kiss is part of formal ceremonies and is intended to show respect. 46. According to the passage, kiss was earlier used as _________. A. a custom B. an expression of love C. an expression of respect D. an expression of power 47. How did the early Romans show their greeting? A. They would kiss the lips. B. They kissed other’s hands. C. Feet would be kissed to show their greeting. D. They would kiss mouth or eyes. 48. What does the underlined word “affection” mean? A. respect B. love C. honor D. worry 49.

The different meanings of kiss from the ancient times to present days. C. How to kiss each other in different countries.
