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。 The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him. The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?” “No, sir,” the men answered. The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked. “Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “we’re on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.” “But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.” But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset.” “That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.” The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased. They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.” The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop. The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach. 1. One evening, the director sent his camera crew out _________. A. to film a scene on the sea B. to find an actor and an actress C. to watch a beautiful sunset D. to meet the audience 2. Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast? A. Because he changed his mind about getting a sunset. B. Because he was angry with his crew. C. Because he wanted to get a scene of sunset. D. Because it was his secretary’s suggestion. 3. The director wanted to film a sunset over the ocean because ______. A. it went well with the separation of the hero and heroine B. when they arrived at the beach it was already in the evening C. it was more moving than a sunrise D. the ocean looked more beautiful at sunset 4 After the “sunset” began, the director suddenly put his face in his hands ______. A. because he was moved to tears B. as he saw everything in the film moving backwards C. as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imagined D. because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroine 5. Which of the following is NOT true? A. The crew had to follow the secretary’s advice. B. If you want to see a sunrise, the east coat is the place to go. C. The camera crew wasn’t able to film the scene the first day. D. The director ordered his crew to stop filming the “sunset”.

Farming was once the chief way of life in nearly every country. People cannot live without food, and nearly all their food comes from crops and animals raised on farms. Not many people farm for a living any more, but farming remains the most important work in the world. Before the nineteenth century, the typical American family lived on a small farm. They raised pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, and planted corn, fruits, garden vegetables, and wheat. Everyone worked long and hard, but the results were often poor. Families barely harvested enough food for themselves. This situation began to change during the last half of the 1800's and it changed remarkably(明显地) in the next century. Scientific methods and labor-saving machinery have made farming increasingly productive. The development of improved plant varieties and fertilizers has helped double and even triple the production of some major crops. More scientific animal care and animal raising have helped increase the amount of meat and products that animals produce. At the same time, the use of tractors and other modern farm equipment has sharply reduced the need for farm labor. As farming has become less important as a way of life in the United States, it has become more important as a source which offers materials to industry. Today's successful farmers are experts not just in agriculture but also in accounting, marketing, and finance. Farms that are not run in a similar way have great difficulty surviving. 1. We are told in the first paragraph about ____. A. the history of farming B. the importance of farming C. the development of farming D. the changes of farming 2. Which of the following describes American farming before the 19th century? A. Farmers didn’t work hard on their farms. B. Farmers used tractors to help them. C. Farming was the main way of living for most people. D. Farmers could supply materials to industry. 3. Crop production has increased greatly now thanks to all the following EXCEPT __. A. scientific methods B. labor- saving machinery C. farmers’ hard work D. chemical fertilizers 4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Traditional American farming. B. The increase in the number of crops in the US. C. Modern farming methods. D. American farmers’ hard work. 5. The passage mainly talks about_____. A. the advantages of American farming B. the changes in American farming C. the situation of American farms D. how rapidly farming has developed

Claude and Louris are “giraffes”. So are police officers Hankins and Pearson. These men and women don’t look like giraffes; they look like you and me. Then, why do people call them “giraffes”? A giraffe, they say, is an animal that sticks its neck out, can see places far away and has a large heart. It lives a quiet life and moves about in an easy and beautiful way. In the same way, a “giraffe” can be a person who likes to “stick his or her neck out” for other people, always watches for future happenings, has a warm heart for people around, and at the same time lives a quiet and beautiful life himself or herself. “The Giraffe Project” is a 10-year-old group which finds and honors “giraffes” in the US and in the world. The group wants to teach people to do something to build a better world. The group members believe that a person shouldn’t draw his or her head back; instead, they tell people to “stick their neck out” and help others. Claude and Louris, Hankins and Pearson are only a few of the nearly 1,000 “giraffes” that the group found and honored. Claude and Louris were getting old and they left their work with some money that they saved for future use. One day, however, they saw a homeless man looking for a place to keep warm and they decided that they should “stick their neck out” and give him some help. Today, they lived in Friends’ House, where they invite twelve homeless people to stay every night. Police officers Hankins and Pearson work in a large city. They see crimes every day and their work is sometimes dangerous. They work hard for their money. However, these two men put their savings together and even borrowed money to start an educational center to teach young people in a poor part of the city. Hankins and Pearson are certainly “giraffes”. 1. Which of the following is true? A. Some of the people around us look like giraffes. B. Giraffes are the most beautiful animal in the world. C. “Giraffes” is a beautiful name for those who are ready to help other people. D. A “giraffe” is someone who can stick his neck out and see the future. 2. “The Giraffe Project” is a group _____. A. of police officers B. which appeared ten years ago C. of ten-year-old children D. which takes care of children 3. People call Claude and Hankins “giraffes” because they _____. A. do what is needed for a good world B. are not afraid of dangerous work C. found a home for some homeless people D. made money only for other people 4. What does “The Giraffe Project” do? A. It tells people how to live a quiet life. B. It helps the homeless and teaches the young people. C. It tries to find 1,000 warm-hearted people in the US. D. It shows people what their duty is for a better world. 5. The underlined word “crime” in the last paragraph has the similar meaning to ____. A. mistake B. happiness C. failure D. wrongdoing
