第三部分閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)

Russian police have launched a novel attempt to get drivers to slow down at zebra crossings by having stripe-painted horses as zebras walk across on the busiest streets in some of the big cities in an attempt to improve road safety and raise awareness among Russia's notoriously careless drivers.

The light grey horses,painted with black stripes,carried signs on their backs reading: Careful,children are on their way to school. The police dispatched (派遣) the fake zebras to several different locations in the Russian capital,where officials in orange vests walked them over zebra crossings and handed out flyers to passing drivers.

Some held up rainbow-coloured umbrellas over the painted animals to protect them from rain,footage aired on television showed.

Russian roads are notoriously dangerous and drivers still rarely take the initiative to avoid pedestrians. Nearly half of all traffic accidents in the country5s big cities are caused by cars hitting pedestrians,and a third of those occur on crossings,according to traffic police figures published last month.

In the first six months of this year,378 people were killed and more than 6 ,600 injured on pedestrian crossings in Russia,according to police. In Moscow alone,43 people were killed,including two children. Though police officials said that only safe paints would be used on the animals,animal rights activists still disagreed with the idea,accusing the police of “treating animals like garbage”.

“Children understand that paints are bad for animals: they can cause internal swelling”’ the Interfax news agency quoted president of Vita animal rights group Irina Novozhilova as saying.

   B. Tb inform people zebras are in danger of extinction.

   C. To make drivers better aware of road safety.

42. What does the underlined word “them” refer to?

   A. most of the Russian drivers are careless

   B. the driving skills of Russian drivers are bad

   C. Russian drivers often ignore traffic lights

   D. Russian drivers seldom give way to pedestrians

   A. are where people can cross the streets safely

   D. These animals are badly treated by the police.

42. B解析:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上文的“The police dispatched the fake zebras to several different locations in the Russian capital…”可知,這里的them指的就是the fake zebras ,也就是 the horses。

Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the “ silent language” of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.

In the US,people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak,it is a sign of “weakness or unfriendliness”. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder. Some people,usually women,greet a friend with a hug.

Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other,they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle (角度) ,so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident,they say ,“Pardon me” or “Excuse me”. Americans like to look at the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so,it means you are bored,hiding something,or are not interested. But when you stare at someone,it is not polite.

For Americans,thumbs-up means yes,very good,or well done. Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter,raise one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check,make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger (食指) . Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.

Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing (令人困惑的) .If you don't know what to do,the safest thing to do is to smile.

41. From the first paragraph we can learn that.

   A. Americans like to use gestures

   B. gestures can help us express ourselves

   C. gestures don't mean anything while talking

   D. we can learn a language well without body language

42. If you are introduced to a stranger in the US,you should .

   A. greet him with a hug

   B. shake his hand firmly

   C. shake his hand weakly

   D. place a hand on his shoulder

43. Which behaviour is acceptable when people talk to each other in the US?

   A. Not looking at the other person in the eyes.

   B. Facing each other directly.

   C. Not standing too close.

   D. Touching each other.

44. When your American friend gives you a thumbs-up,he may .

   A. express his satisfaction to you

   B. express his worries about you

   C. show his rudeness to you

   D. show his anger to you

45. In the last paragraph the author tells us that .

   A. we should always talk to others with a smile

   B. it is not difficult to learn body language

   C. body language is very helpful to us

   D. smiling is a good choice for us

Michael Faraday was the son of a blacksmith (鐵匠) .There were four children in his family and,with his father often ill and unable to work,Michael Faraday had to earn his living from an early age. This meant little or no schooling. However,the family belonged to a religious group,and Faraday learnt to read and write at Sunday school.

When he was only 14 ,Faraday found a job as a bookbinder (裝訂工) .He used to read the books he was given to bind and he became very interested in the scientific books,particularly the ones about electricity. His interest soon took a practical path and he began making his own experiments. These were very basic because Faraday had to make all of his equipment himself. However,he was very careful and kept a clear written record of all his findings.

One day,he was given an entrance ticket to the Royal Institute chemistry lecture by Humphry Davy. Determined to work for this great scientist,he sent Davy a job application (申請) including his laboratory reports on the experiments he had carried out. In 1813,Davy offered Faraday a job as one of his laboratory assistants. Faraday learnt quickly and soon was recognised as a very able chemist. Later,he went to work at the Royal Institute.

Michael Faraday was,perhaps,the greatest practical scientist of the 19th century. As a chemist,he discovered the benzene,which is now the central point of chemical study. He also proved the relationship between electrical bonding. As a physicist,he invented the dynamo (發(fā)電機) ,which led to the later invention of the electric motor.

41. Why did Faraday attend Sunday school?

   A. He had to learn how to be a bookbinder.

   B. He would like to learn religious knowledge.

   C. He hoped to read many of the scientific books there.

   D. His family couldn’t afford his normal school education.

42. When working as a bookbinder,Faraday .

   A. published his great findings on electricity

   B. was famous as a practical scientist

   C. read many books lent by Humphry Davy

   D. made equipment for his experiments on his own

43. In order to get a chance to work for Davy,Faraday .

   A. sent his experiment reports to Davy

   B. offered to do laboratory work for free

   C. bought tickets to attend Davy's lecture

   D. went to the Royal Institute to visit Davy

44. We can learn from the last paragraph that.

   A. the electric motor was invented by Faraday

   B. electricity was Faraday's best-known finding

   C. Faraday's research covered different fields

   D. Faraday was more a chemist than a physicist

45. What would be the best title for the passage?

   A. Michael Faraday,a Great Scientist

   B. The Contribution of Michael Faraday

   C. Michael Faraday,a Born Bookbinder

   D. The Sufferings of Michael Faraday
