三．阅读理解(共20小题，共计30分)

阅读下列短文，并做每篇后面的题目，从各题A、B、C、D中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

A

　Most musicians agree that the best violins were first made in Cremona, Italy, about 200 years ago. These violins sound better than any others. They even sound better than violins made today. Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments like the Italian violins. But many aren’t the same. Musicians still prefer the old ones.

　Some people think it is the age of the violins. But not all old violins sound wonderful. Only the old violins from Cremona are special. So age cannot be answered very quickly.

　　Other people think the secret to those is the wood. The wood must be from certain kinds of trees. But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It has to be the right size and shape. The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that this was the secret of the Italians. Maybe they understand more than we do about how to cut the wood.

　　Size and shape may not be the answer either. Scientists can make new ones that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish (清漆). Varnish is what covers the wood of the violin. It makes the wood look shiny(光亮的). It also helps the sound of the instrument. No one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish.So no one can make the same varnish today.
     There may never be other violins like the violins of Cremona. Their secret may be lost forever. Young musicians today hope this is not true. They need fine violins. But there aren't very many of the old violins left. Also, the old violins are very expensive. Recently, a famous old Italian violin was sold for about US $ 300,000!

46. The passage is about            .

A. the old Italian violins      B. musical instruments

C. scientific ideas            D. making violins

47. Other people think the Italian violin makers          .

A. were lucky     B. did not know much about the violin

C. used many kinds of wood   D. knew something special

48. Violins made today _____.

A. have the same size and shape as the old ones

B. are better than the old ones

C. sound the same as the old ones

D. have the same varnish as the old ones

49. Some scientists believe that the secret of the old violin was       .

A. their color    B. their sound　　 C. their varnish     D. the music

50. Why was the violin painted with the varnish?

A. To make the sound nice.     B. To make the appearance shiny.

C. To value the violin          D. Both A and B.

　Do you know the most unusual building of the 19th century? Perhaps it was the Crystal Palace. It was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The Crystal Palace was different from all other buildings in the world, for it was made of iron and glass. It was one of the biggest buildings of the time and a lot of people from many countries came to see it. A great many goods were sent to the exhibition from various parts of the world. There was also a lot of machinery on show. The most wonderful piece of machinery on show was Nasmyth's steam hammer. Though in those days, traveling was not as easy as it is today, steam boats carried thousands of visitors across the Channel from Europe. On arriving in England, they were taken to the Crystal Palace by train. There were 6,000,000 visitors in all, and the money from the exhibition was used to build museums and colleges.

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.

Waste can bring a lot of problem. Although China is rich in some resources(资源）, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal (煤）or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources , what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.

In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed.

Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best. Come on, boys and girls.

61. From the passage we know that some students often     in the school.

A. eat too much  B. don’t work hard  C. waste things  D. throw rubbish everywhere

62. Which is not mentioned in this passage?

A. Fresh water  B. Forest          C. Oil         D. Coal

63. What may happen in 100 years?

A. We may still have enough oil.      B. We may still have enough coal.

C. We may have a little oil.          D. We may have no coal or oil to use.

64. Which of the following is right?

A. Waste brings problems.           B. Waste can bring no problem.

C. China is rich in fresh water.        D. Students never waste things.

65. Which is the best title of this passage?

A. Stop Wasting                  B. Rich Resources in China.

C. Waste in the School             D. School Life

七、阅读表达 (共5小题，计10分)

阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。

　　Many people could not forget the dance “Kwan-yin of 1000 Hands” during the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. It was so beautiful that no words could match it. The dance was performed by 20 disabled boys and girls. They couldn't hear or speak. But they used their bodies and hearts to dance. Their performance was remembered by many people. The head dancer of the dance was Tai Lihua.

　　Tai Lihua was from Yicheng, Hubei Province. She was born healthy. (88) When she was two years old, she lost her hearing because of a fever. Not long after that, she became mute, too. From then on, her world was silent. When she was seven years old, she went to school for deaf and mute children. In that school, she did well in her studies. Her teacher said she used her mind more than the others and was good at expressing her feelings through dance. She also began to love dance. She thought she could use dance to express what she thought about life.

When she was 15 years old, she began to learn to dance. Because she couldn't hear the music, she must "look at" the teacher and feel the music. She worked harder than the others. She also spent more time learning. Her efforts made her a very good dancer.　　

The dance Kwan-yin of 1000 Hands makes Tai Lihua and her team famous. But she is still quiet. She says, "Love is our common language. (89) I will show my love by dancing, like a sunflower(葵花)smiling at the sun forever."
