第三部分：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。
A
When a store sells goods or services at a cost lower than usual, it is called
a sale. Sales last for a limited time. Then the cost is returned to its usual amount.
There are many kinds of sales, For example, a “back-to-school sale” is held
near the beginning of the school year. Parents can save money on clothes and school
supplies for their children.
A “midnight madness” sale starts very late at night. An “early bird special”
sale starts very early in the morning, usually before the sun rises. This kind of
sale is popular the day after Thanksgiving in November.
A favorite sale among many people is the “buy one, get one free” sale. You
buy one thing and get a second one without cost. When people see the word “free”
in an advertisement they know they are getting a good deal.
A “going out of business” sale is when a storeowner tries to sell all the goods
in the store before closing the business permanently. Let us say the store sells
floor coverings. The owner lowers the prices and puts up a sign saying:“Going out
of business sale. All items MUST be sold by tomorrow. ”People who buy the floor
coverings think they are getting a special deal everything must be sold in a short
period of time. Then, days later they see the store did not close permanently. And
they see the same sign that claims the store is going out of business. Some business
owners really do not end the business. They just want to earn more money.
People also hold their own sales. They hold garage sales and yard sales outside
their home. They sell things they no longer want. Groups such as religious centers
or schools hold bake sales. They sell cakes, cookies and other baked goods to raise
money.
In America, you can always find a good sale, no matter the day or time of year.
There is the Independence Day sale, Veteran' s Day sale, clearance sale, sidewalk
sale ,red tag sale, white sale, blue light special, liquidation sale, half-off sale,
warehouse sale tent sale...
56. What would be the best title for the text?

C. What Is a Sale?
D. Go to Sales.

A. sell goods or services at a lower cost
B. sell things peddle no longer want

A. Schools hold "back-to-school sales".
B. Sales usually don't last long.
C. A "buy one, get one free" sale is held the day after Thanksgiving.
D. A "midnight madness" sells cakes, cookies and other baked goods.
59. What do we know about a "going out of business" sale?

Fifty years ago, most people lived in rural areas. But it is estimated that by
some point next year, more than half of all people will live in cities, for the first
time in history.
City life is not always a bad thing, but many experts worry about this process
of urbanization. It is having a huge effect on human health and the quality of the
environment.
Of the three billion people who live in cities now , about one billion live in
unplanned settlements. These are areas of poverty, slums, that generally lack basic
services like clean water, or even permanent housing.
More than sixty million people are added to cities and surrounding areas each
year, mostly in slums in developing countries.
The international community has been too slow to recognize the growth of urban
poverty. Policymakers need to increase investments in education, health care and
other areas.
There are some successful efforts by local governments and community groups.
For example, Freetown, Sierra Leone, has established farming within the city limits
to meet much of its growing food demands. In Colombia, engineers have created a bus
system in Bogota that has helped reduce air pollution and improve quality of life.
The link between urban poverty and the environment is serious. But governments
also need to consider why people are moving out of rural areas. Climate change,
drought, floods —there are many reasons forcing people to live.
The two issues of poverty reduction and environment have existed side by side,
but rarely have they connected—until now. Governments are starting to understand
that environmental collapse is not a natural cost of economic development. Instead,
is hurting the possibility for growth.
61. The passage mainly talks about
A. poverty and environment
B. population problems
C. the process of urbanization
D. the pressure of moving away from rural life on cities and environment
62. It is implied that there are ______people on this planet.
A. exactly six billion
B. four billion
C. over six billion
D. nine billion
63. According to the author, to improve environment, government should ____ first.
A. recognize the growth of urban poverty
B. consider reasons for moving from rural life
C. increase investment
D. take measures to solve the problem of urban poverty
64. It can be inferred from the passage that________
A. in about 50 years there will be no people living in rural areas
B. people go to cities to seek better life
C. poverty reduction and the environment have been connected now
D. city life is a bad thing
65. By using the examples of Freetown and Colombia the writer really means_____
A. proper measures taken have proved helpful
B. there is no environment problem in these cities
C. the cities are not located in developing countries
D. the problem of urban poverty has been solved there
C
As a teenager of the digital era, it is really hard to say no to fantastic
electronic gadgets(产品). Many of us can't get through a day without using our mobile
phones or checking our e-mails. No matter if we' re "@home", "@ school" or "@ play",
living without technological toys seems more and more unthinkable.
However, although gadgets bring convenience, many of us can start to feel
stressed out by them. And, a lot of electronics are fairly expensive. Fashionable
gadgets come and go in the digital age in the blink of any eye. So think twice before
pulling out your wallet.
Here are some of the most popular gadgets and their pros and cons:
Laptop computer
Pros: Laptops have made our lives much easier. You can take your books, movies,
music and homework everywhere.
Cons: They cost at least 4,000 yuan! If you only want to share photos or games
with your friends, then a flash memory stick is a great cheap alternative.
Video MP3 player
Pros: As well as carrying your favourite music, a video MP3 player can play up
to 150 hours of movies and TV programmes.
Cons: The price--sometimes more than 2,000 yuan--is the first concern. Secondly,
though music is really important to young people, ask yourself if video is really
necessary. A regular MP3 player is a lot cheaper. And remember, don't let the loud
volume damage your hearing.
Smart photos
Pros: New mobile phones combine traditional functions with a digital camera,
MP3 player and even a radio. Some can also send and receive e-mails.
Cons: Always trying to keep up with the latest model can be a waste of money?
There are always new, improved phones coming out. Don't be a fool. Do you really
need all these functions? Think twice before you buy.
66. What should be the best title of the passage?
A. Enjoy Your Digital Era!
B. Digital Era, Too Expensive!
C. Fashionable Gadgets Make Your Life Colourful!
D. Electronic Heaven or Digital Trap?
67. Why does the writer suggest that you should think carefully before you decide
to buy electronic gadgets?
A. Because they are never necessary.
B. Because they are always in poor quality.
C. Because they update too fast to follow.
D. They cost you too much and make you poor.
68. What does the underlined phrase stressed our in paragraph 2 mean?
A. relaxed
B. curious
C worried and tired
D. amused and interested
69. Which of the following shows the purpose of the writer in writing the passage?
A. Every coin has two sides.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. A good medicine tastes bitter.
D. A fall into pit, a gain in your wit.
70. According to the passage, a video MP3 player
A. can't replace a regular MP3 player
B. much higher in price than a regular MP3 player
