第三部分 閱讀理解（共15小題，每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

A

Winter weather has returned to northern areas of the world. In much of the United States, winter means the return of snow.

Snow is a form of frozen water. It contains many groups of tiny ice particles（顆粒）called snow crystals（晶體）. These crystals grow from water particles in cold clouds. They usually grow around a piece of dust. All snow crystals have six sides, but they grow in different shapes. The shape depends mainly on the temperature and water levels in the air. The shape of a snow crystal may change from one form to another as the crystal passes through levels of air with different temperatures. Snow contains much less water than rain. About seventy-five centimeters of snow has as much water as two and one-half centimeters of rain.

Generally, the color of snow and ice appears white. This is because the light we see from the sun is white. Most natural materials take in some sunlight. However, when light travels from air to snow, some light is sent back, or reflected（反射）. Snow crystals have many surfaces to reflect sunlight. It is this light that gives snow its white color.

Much of the water we use comes from snow. Melting snow gives water to rivers and crops. Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from cold. Fresh snow is made largely of air which is kept among the snow crystals. Because the air has trouble moving, the movement of heat is greatly reduced. However, snow is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people in the United States every year. Many people die in traffic accidents on roads that are covered with snow or ice.

51. The shape of snow depends on ＿＿＿ .

A. different temperatures B. different water levels

C. temperatures and water levels in the air D. temperatures and levels of air

52. According to the text, snow looks white because ＿＿＿ .

53. How can snow protect plants from the cold?

A. It gives them much heat. B. It has a higher temperature.

C. It keeps them from wind. D. It contains air which helps hold heat.

54. What does the last paragraph of the text mainly talk about?

A. Snow can give water to rivers and crops. B. Snow can help crops grow better.

C. Snow has both advantages and disadvantages. D. Snow is the cause of the deaths of many people.

It was a long time since I visited my mother last time. The demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. She thought about it for a moment, and then agreed.

That Friday after work, I drove over to pick her up. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as beautiful as an angels.

We went to a very nice and comfortable restaurant. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. A smile was on her lips. “It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were a child,” she said. “Then its time that you relax and let me return the favor,” I responded.

During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation—nothing special but catching up on recent events of each others life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “Ill go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.

A few days later my mother died of an unexpected heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didnt have a chance to do anything for her. At that moment I understood the importance of saying “I love you” in time and giving our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till “some other time”.

55. Why did the mother curl her hair and wear the dress that night?

A. She was trying to be polite. B. She felt happy to meet the author.

C. She had no much time to go to the cinema. D. She had the habit to do so when going out.

56. How can we learn about the talk between the author and the mother?

A. It was pleasant. B. It wasted them much time.

C. It settled the problem between them. D. It made them regret having missed the film.

57. Why does the author tell the story about the meeting with his mother?

A. To share his rich experience. B. To show his love to his mother.

C. To express sorry about his mother. D. To advise people to care for the family.

Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their childrens careers. Should they allow their children to be trained to become top sportsmen or sportswomen? For many children it means starting school work very young, and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. Its very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.

Another problem is of course money. In many countries, money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and sportswomen. If this help cannot be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their childs development and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc. They can all be very expensive.

Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by training young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.

62. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?

A. Parents are uncertain about their childrens interest in sport.

B. The advantages and disadvantages about sports training.

C. How to explain to children about their sports training.

D. Becoming top sportsmen or sportswomen is hard.

63. Sports training can be expensive when parents ＿＿＿ .

A. cant find a good coach through government B. cant receive the help from government

C. have to make children be the best D. have to buy sports clothes

64. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that ＿＿＿ .

A. training should be taken to succeed B. parents are worried about the dangers of training

C. doctors are positive about training young D. professional trainers agree with training young

65. What does the text mainly talk about?

A. Problems school children face. B. The relation between sports and training.

C. Worries from parents about kids training in sports. D. Different ideas about sports training for school children.

閱讀下面短文并按照題目要求用英語回答問題（請注意每題詞數(shù)要求）。

People today, in all this new world of technology and thinking, have lost sight of what a true friendship is. So, though I own my best friend Jenny, I thought I would help the world out a little and explain what real, true friends are.

Friends dont have to be exactly the same. They have similarities but they also have their differences. The key to opening up the world of friendship is not only to expand on similarities but to accept each others faults, because you cant ever judge your friend.

Friends have to argue! No one likes to but it is necessary to be healthy. Because if you agree on everything, either the government has expanded cloning subjects or someone isnt being true, you pushing it a little too hard.

You have to be comfortable together. Otherwise, you just arent going to click. If you feel uneasy around the person then something isnt quite right.

Friends love unconditionally. They have their little angry moments but whats done is done and all is forgiven and forgotten. Why let something that happened in the past ruin the happiness you could have in the future?

Believe in love at first sight because there is the same thing happening in friendship. Some people think that you have to know someone really well to become good friends. Trust me, its not true. These are only a few of the basics. Just remember, friends are forever, but only if you keep it that way. Dont disrespect your friends. Love them instead.

I stepped out of the warm car into the snow. No one else had stepped in it already. The cold made me realize what clean and fresh the air was. I put on my gloves and go out into the snow field. All at once my view of the mountain were changed to the blue sky. And I was lying out flat in the snow. I had never realized snow smelt, but they did. It smelt like cleanest water with a touch of earth. The smell of pines made me to want to eat it. I took a bite but just like the appearance it was pure in its taste. Even in the age of a hundred, I think I will act like a child in the snow—lost in its beautiful.
