第三部分 阅读理解(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)
A
Plants are chemical factories. Many of the chemicals that they produce are useful to humans. Besides food, plants provide material for paper, buildings, medicines and many others. Scientists study the chemicals to treat certain types of cancer.
On the other hand, the fast growth of the human population is changing the earth quickly. Only by understanding how human activities affect our environment can we predict global climate changes. Scientific studies of these changes and their effects on natural ecosystems and crop production are of great importance to the future of our society.
Other environmental problems, such as pollution, also interest scientists. Many plant species are especially sensitive to certain pollutants. Scientists study the effects of different types of pollution on plants. They use their results to advise lawmakers to make laws for environmental protection and to save priceless natural areas.
By using plant tissue culture (植物细胞培养), scientists can grow plants from single cell. This has exciting possibilities in biotechnology, forestry and so on. For example, the American chestnut was once a widespread tree in the Eastern forests. Today it has nearly disappeared because of a disease-producing fungus (真菌) that caused chestnut to die. The American chestnut recently has been grown in plant tissue culture.
The earths biological diversity (多样性) or the kinds of living things are decreasing. As humans change the environment for their own purposes, plants and animals living in these areas become increasingly endangered. Scientists work to identify (辨别) and understand new plant species, especially in such biologically rich areas as rainforests. Perhaps a plant undiscovered now will become an important food crop. There are probably many undiscovered plants that produce useful drugs to cure or treat human disease. Biological diversity also provides an important source of new genes to improve the plants we now use. As techniques of genetic engineering improve, so will our ability to improve our plants.
51. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. Plants can offer people many necessary materials.
B. Plants can be used to treat certain types of cancer.
C. Plants can be made into many products in factories.
D. Plants can produce many chemicals needed in chemical factories.
52. What can we know from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?
A. Pollution does little harm to many plants
B. Human activities influence plants greatly
C. It is global climate changes that endanger plants
D. Scientific studies on plant species are important to stop pollution
53. Whats the importance of biological diversity?
A. It can create as many plants as possible.
B. It has many possible values to human beings.
C. We can have new species to replace the old ones.
D. People may use it to cure or treat human disease.
54. Whats the best title for the passage?
A. Plants and Humans
B. The Chemical Factories
C. Finding New Plant Species
D. New Genes to Improve the Plants
B
Joanne Kathleen Rowlings life, like that of her own character Harry Potter, has the luster (光彩) of a fairy tale.
She remembers that she always wanted to write and that the first story she actually wrote down, when she was five or six, was a story about a rabbit. At Exeter University, she took her degree in French and spent one year studying in Paris. Then she moved to London to work for Amnesty International. During that period of time, on a very long train ride from Manchester to London, the idea came to her of a boy who is a wizard (巫师) in the summer of 1990. By the time the train drove into Kings Cross Station four hours later, many of the characters and the early stages of the story were fully formed in her head.
In 1992, J.K. Rowling moved to Portugal to teach ESL (English as a Second Language). She enjoyed teaching. She worked afternoons and evenings, leaving mornings free for writing. After her marriage to a Portuguese TV reporter ended in divorce (离婚), she returned to Britain with her baby daughter and a suitcase full of Harry Potter notes. Later, she lived in Edinburgh to be near her sister and decided to finish her book before looking for a teaching job. To escape her small and cold apartment, J.K. Rowling would go into coffee shops carrying her baby daughter and write when the baby fell asleep. In this way she finished the book Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone in 1996 and started sending it to publishers. However, it took her about one year to finally have it published. The book attracted readers of all ages, especially children. With the publication of the American edition, the book was renamed Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone in 1998. Now J.K. Rowling is well-known almost all over the world.
55. The character Potter came to J. K. Rowlings mind ____ .
A. when she worked in London
B. after she moved to Edinburgh
C. when she taught ESL in Portugal
D. when she studied at Exeter University
56. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. J. K. Rowling lived a hard life when she wrote her first book in Edinburgh.
B. J.K. Rowling began writing stories after she went to university.
C. J. K. Rowling wrote her first Harry Potter book at home.
D. J. K. Rowling named her first Harry Potter book Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone.
