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） A Today I’ll be talking about the invention of the camera and photography. The camera is often thought to be a modern invention, but as early as 1727, a German physicist discovered that light darkens silver salt. Used as a camera, a big box was set up, and a small hole was cut in one side to let the light in; he made temporary pictures on the salt. Silver salt is still the base of the photographic film today. Then a French scientist made the first permanent picture by using a special piece of metal which was covered with silver salt. A photograph he made in 1826 still exists. The painter De Gear improved the process by covering the metal also with placing the common salt which we can eat. This was in 1839, the official date of beginning of photographs. But the problem was the printing of the photographs. And it wasn’t until other scientists developed the kind of photographic paper we now use that good prints were possible and photography became truly modern. In the 1870’s, Matthew Bradey was able to take his famous pictures in American Civil War. In the 20’s of this century, Georges Mann of the United States simplified film developing (冲洗), and Dr Edward Lane invented the so—called ‘Instant Camera’ which uses self—developing film. If we say photography came into existence in 1839, it follows that it took more than 100 years for the camera to reach its present condition of technical refinement(密度). 1. What discovery was the basis of photography? A. Light darkens silver salt. B. Light darkens natural salt. C. Light darkens silver. D. Light darkens self--developing film 2. How was the first permanent picture made? A. By making use of special paper. B. By adding common salt to silver salt. C. By giving a slight colour to the silver salt. D. By using a special piece of metal. 3. What does the speaker regard as the official date of beginning of photography? A. 1727 B. 1826 C. 1839 D. 1870 4. According to the speaker why is Matthew Bradey remembered today? A. He was a soldier. B. He took war photographs. C. He painted portraits. D. He designed a portable camera. 5. What did Doctor Edward Lane invent? A. A cheap process of developing film at home. B. A new kind of film. C. An automatic printer. D. An ‘instant camera’ that develops its own film.

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two—thirds of the world’s population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast. In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man’s needs. The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is immense. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined. Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish (贝类动物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people. Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy. Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved. 1. The major things that the sea offers man are ______. A. fish and oil B. minerals and oil C. warm temperature and ocean currents D. the food, energy sources, and minerals 2. The sea serves the needs of man because ______. A. in provides man with food B. it offers oil to man C. it supplies man with minerals D. all of the above 3. We can conclude from this passage that ______. A. the sea resources have largely been used up B. the sea, in the broad sense, has not yet been developed C. the problems that prevent us from using the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea have already been solved. D. by the year 2000 , the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources 4. The underlined words Oriental people in the fourth paragraph probably mean ______. A. the people in Asia B. African people C. European people D. American people 5. The best title for this passage is ______. A. Sea Harvest B. Sea Food C. Technology for Exploiting the Sea D. Man and the Sea

Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart. Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary(周年纪念) of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement—signed in London on April 8, 1904—marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership. But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war—which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite(不管, 尽管) French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac's body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug (拥抱), Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties. “The British population was against war, ” said Francois Heisbourg, director of the Paris-based Foundation for Strategic Research(战略基金研究会). “So it could have actually helped bring the two sides closer. ” The history of divisions(分割, 区分) may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. “The French think Britain is not doing its best to become part of Europe by not introducing the single European currency(货币), ” said Geoff Hare, a former lecturer in French politics and language at Newcastle University in Britain. “France has spent the past 15 to 20 years making itself seen as part of the European Union. ” But this doesn't stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However,only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted.Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France's close relationship with Germany. Or because the French are not happy with Britain's close links with the US. Whatever the answer is, as both
sides celebrate 100 years of “doubtful friendship”, they are at 1. For centuries, the relationship between England and France is______. A. friendly B. impolite C. brotherly D. a mixture of love and hate 2. The war in Iraq does ______ to the relationship between France and England. A. good B. harm C. neither good nor harm D. both good and harm 3. The British are not so friendly to ______ and the French are not so friendly to ______. A. Germany;America B. America;Germany C. Germany;Germany too D. America;America too 4. What does the last sentence mean? A. As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain. B. The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendly happening in both France and Britain. C. France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help balance the relationship between them. D. The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain. 5. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The British differ greatly from the French in culture, origin and custom. B. The British and The French are against each other because of the very different ways in which they see the world. C. The celebration of the 100th anniversary of the signing of a friendship agreement mark-ed the mixture feeling of love and hatred over the last century between Britain and Franc-e. D. The British dislike France's close relationship with Germany, while the French are not happy with Britain's close links with the US.
