第2题
The rains hit India hardest in Punjab (旁遮普邦), which was transformed into a wasteland of collapsed houses and dead cattle. In the village of Doomchheri, 40 km southwest of Chandigarh, Punjab's capital, floods rising to a height of 4m washed away 400 of the 700 homes and destroyed all the crops. Jaswant Kaur and her family of five clung to trees when their mud hut collapsed. One cousin drowned; the other four swam to safety, reaching the second story of a neighbor's home. Wailed Jaswant:" What have we done to be cursed like this ？"
In the country the armed forces were mobilized to help. In Punjab 5,000 uniformed men used helicopters and assault boats to rescue victims isolated by flood, distribute food and medicine and, finally, remove the dead. Near the town of Patiala, 85 km south of Chandigarh, all 16 members of a rescue team drowned when their boat tipped over in 4m waves. One soldier named Sohan Singh could have survived, witnesses reported, but he ordered panic-stricken villagers to cling to him while he struggled toward safety. His body was found four days later, along with two dead villagers whose arms were wrapped around one of his legs.
Which of the following is the best title for the passage？
A．Curse of Heaven
B．Floods Hit India
C．Floods Claim Hundreds of Lives
D．A Terrible Disaster

C．To tell the reader a story about Paul Revere in the American Revolution.

第4题
My favorite lecture concerned the American Revolution. Dr. Williamson set the mood for the study by imitating Paul Revere, a well-known silversmith, working in his shop. The American colonists were angry because of the British control over their lives. Revere felt that war between the British and the colonists was inevitable. Then, Dr. Williamson told us about Revere rowing across. the Charles River from Boston on April 18, 1775. I can see the professor now as he raised his hand to his forehead as if he were looking across the Charles River to the Old North Church in Boston. Suddenly, Revere spotted two lanterns, a signal which meant that the British would attack by sea. He jumped on his horse to warn the villagers of the attack. Professor Williamson reminded us that the first battles of the American Revolution were fought at Concord and at Lexington, Massachusetts, the year before the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776.
Never before had history seemed so alive to me. And all because a professor cared enough to put his heart into his teaching.
(26)
A．Because history professors are poorly prepared.
B．Because most students are lazy.
C．Because history lectures are not delivered in an interesting way.
D．Because most students feel studying history is a waste of time.
第5题
The region surrounding Lake Nyos is volcanic, and so sulphurous(硫磺的) volcanic gases were initially suspected as the cause of the disaster. But subsequent investigation by teams of scientists dispatched to the remote highland lake suggested that as much as 80 million cubic metres of CO2 formerly held in solution in the lake's depths, has been released explosively at its surface, such an event, called a limnic(湖泊的) eruption, had been recorded only once before-at nearby Lake Manoun, 35 kilometers from Lake Nyos. That eruption, which killed 37 people in 1984, was kept secret at first, as the Cameroonian authorities had suspected terrorist involvement.
Expeditions to Lake Nyos since the 1986 disaster have allowed researchers to unravel(拆开) the geological process that underlie the lake's lethal tendencies. Armed with this information, a small group of scientists and engineers-funded to the tune of $450,000 by the Office of US Foreign Disaster Assistance, with additional help from the French and Cameroonian governments arrived in the area in January to attempt to 'degas' the lake, and so prevent it killing again. The plan is simple—the limited budget and the lack of decent roads into the region mean it has to be. The team will lower a length of high-density polyethylene pipe deep into the lake and pipe CO2 rich water towards the surface, where the gas can bubble out on a controlled way.
Most experts agree that degassing the lake is a good idea. But some say there is a small chance that the effort could trigger another limnic eruption and lives at risk. Although villagers surrounding Lake Nyos have been evacuated(撤退) to avoid a repeat of the 1986 catastrophe, farmers and their livestock still venture into the area, lured by its lush pastures.
Why was the death regarded silent？
A．Because it's quiet after an explosion.
B．Because the people were killed outright.
C．Because when it came, the victims were in sleep.
D．Because it happened suddenly.
第6题
M: Yes, certainly. I came to India a year ago to have a better understanding of the country. After I arrived, I had to find a place where I could live and write. After some months I settled down happily in this village because it is a little cooler.
W: Is the experience in this country so important to you that you came all the way from the United States？
M: Well, that's also the question that the villagers ask me. Why do I isolate myself from the outside world in this remote village, like a retired old man？ I am no longer working as a political journalist because my ideas have changed. I've come to believe that what is happening in the Third World is more important than anything else. I want to understand how three quarters of the world's people live, and how their future might affect the rest of the world.
W: I must say I find your view on this issue very convincing. I'm sure when you go back to your own country you'll find your stay here very rewarding.
When did Dr. Eric arrive in India？
A．Several weeks ago.
B．Several months ago.
C．A year ago.
D．Two years ago.

第三节 短文理解2
阅读下列短文，从[A]、[B]、[C]三个选项中选择一个正确答案。
One morning in January, 1800, a young boy went to a village in France. He wanted to find some food. The boy looked very strange. He was about twelve years old with black dirty hair. He wore an old dirty shirt, but nothing else.
The people in the village asked him: "Who are you？ Where are you from？" The boy didn't answer. Instead, he made strange animal sounds. The villagers gave him some food. He ate only potatoes and drank only water. They were kind to him and began to call him Joseph.
That September, some scientists(科学家) took Joseph to Pads because they wanted to study him. In Pads, Dr. Itard taught the boy and Madame Guerin looked after him. They liked him and changed his name to Victor.
Dr. Itard and Madame Guerin wanted to teach Victor many things. Victor was a good student. He learned to wear clothes and eat with a knife and fork. He could spell (拼写) some words. In three years Victor learned to read and write a little. But he never learned to talk and he never learn- ed to understand speech (讲话).
He lived with Madame Guerin for 28 years. Then he died.
Why did the boy go to the village？
A．To find something to eat.
B．To get himself some clothes.
C．To look for his parents.
第8题
S: Yes, of course. I came to India a year ago to have a better understanding of the country. After I arrived, I had to find a place where I could live and write. Of course there Were many places for me to choose. But after some months I settled down happily in this village because I like the countryside better and it is a little cooler than those in the plains.
R: Have you ever thought of a typical village as a better choice？
S: Yes, I have. Yet no such thing exists. In fact I wasted a lot of time looking for the typical village. Conditions vary too widely. But the villages I stayed in had much in common--poverty, dirt, and ignorance.
R: But in spite of all this, you still feel very happy. Is the experience in this country so important to you that you came all the way from the United States？
S: Well, that’s also the question that the villagers ask me. They think that I’m crazy to give up my comfortable life in the United States and isolate myself from the outside world in this remote village, like a retired old man. Why have I come？ I've put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas have changed. I've come to believe that what is happening in the Third World is more important than anything else. But to understand how three-quarters of the world's people live, and how their future might affect the rest of the world, I feel that I first have to try and share their way of life.
R: I must say I find your view on this issue very convincing. I'm sure when you go back to your own country you'll find you stay here very rewarding.
