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
The Maldives faces the threat of extinction from rising sea levels, but the government said on Thursday it was looking to the future with plans to build homes and a golf course that float.
An increase in sea levels of just 18 to 59 centimeters would make the Maldives -- a nation of tiny coral islands in the Indian Ocean -- virtually uninhabitable by 2100, the UN’s climate change panel has warned.
President Mohamed Nasheed has vowed a fight for survival, and last month he signed a deal with a Dutch company to study proposals for a floating structure that could support a convention centre, homes and an 18-hole golf course. “It is still early stages and we are awaiting a report on the possibility,” a government official said.
The company, Dutch Docklands, is currently building floating developments in the Netherlands and Dubai. There was no immediate comment from the firm but its website said it undertook projects that make “land from water by providing large-scale floating constructions to create similar conditions as on land”.
The Maldives began work on an artificial island known as the Hulhumale near the crowded capital island of Male in 1997 and more than 30,000 people have been settled there to ease congestion. The city, which has a population of 100,000, is already protected from rising sea levels by a 30-million-dollar sea wall, and the government is considering increasingly imaginative ways to combat climate change.
Nasheed, who staged the world’s first underwater cabinet meeting in October to highlight his people’s dilemma , has even spoken of buying land elsewhere in the world to enable Maldivians to relocate if their homes are flooded. He has also pledged the Hulhumale to turn his nation into a model for the rest of the world by becoming “carbon neutral” by 2020. His plan involves ending fossil fuel use and powering all vehicles and buildings from “green” sources.
56. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The Maldives plans to build floating homes for the rising sea level.
B. The Maldives’s president signed a deal with a Dutch company.
C. The Maldives staged the first underwater cabinet meeting.
D. The Maldives is considering ways to fight against the global warming.
57. Which statement is true about the Hulhumale?
A. The Hulhumale is a natural island near the capital of Male.
B. The Hulhumale is an artificial island to be built near the capital.
C. The Hulhumale was built in 1997 and has settled over 30,000 people.
D. The Hulhumale is protected by a 30-million-dollar sea wall.
58. According to the passage, the underlined word congestion means _______.
A. being endangered B. being crowded
C. being flooded D. being disappearing
B
“The single biggest threat to US security, both short-term, medium-term and long-term, would be the possibility of a terrorist organisation obtaining a nuclear weapon. This is something that could change the security landscape in this country and around the world for years to come. If there was ever an explosion in New York City, or London, or Johannesburg(约翰内斯堡), the branches economically, politically and from a security perspective would be destroyed” Mr Obama said.
Speaking on the eve of a nuclear security summit in Washington, Mr. Obama said leaders from 40 states should focus on how to secure nuclear material and warned groups like al-Qaeda (<, /SPAN>基地组织) would not hesitate to use nuclear devices.
Neither North Korea and Iran, two states with disputed nuclear ambitions, have been invited to the summit. The two countries are viewed by the US as violators of the non-proliferation agreement. Syria was also left off the invitation list because the US believes the capital---Damascus also has nuclear ambitions, the Associated Press news agency notes.
But the leaders of nuclear states like India, China and Pakistan are among those coming to Washington for the biggest gathering of world leaders in the US capital in decades, says the BBC’s Mark Mardell.
While the issue of what to do about Iran’s nuclear ambitions is not on the agenda, it will be at the centre of many discussions, our North America editor adds.
Mr Obama praised South Africa for being the first country to abandon a nuclear weapons programme. South Africa had, he said, acquired special standing as a “moral leader” for voluntarily dismissed its nuclear programme in the 1990s, He thanked its President, Jacob Zuma, for the leadership his government had shown on non-proliferation.
Israel is being represented at the summit only by a deputy prime minister amid reports that its government is worried that Turkey and Egypt might use the occasion to raise the issue of its nuclear arsenal（军火库） .
Last Thursday, President Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty reducing each country’s deployed nuclear arsenal to 1,550 weapons.
Earlier in the week, Mr Obama approved a new nuclear policy for the United States, saying he planned to cut the nuclear arsenal, refrain from nuclear tests and not use nuclear weapons against countries that did not have them.
59. The US invited many countries to the summit in order to _______.
A. remind the countries to protect the nuclear material
B. warn the groups like al-Qaeda not to use nuclear devices
C. punish some countries which didn’t obey the USA
D. praise South Africa to abandon nuclear weapons
60. Which following countries are NOT invited to the summit?
A. Israel, Syria and Iran B. North Korea, Pakistan and Turkey
C. North Korea, Syria and India D. North Korea, Syria and Iran
61. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. Syria is viewed by the US as violators of the non-proliferation agreement
B. Damascus, the capital of Iran, also has nuclear ambitions
C. A terrorist organization may obtain the nuclear weapon to threaten the world
D. what to do about Iran’s nuclear ambitions is on the agenda
62.How many countries are referred to in the passage?
A. twelve B. thirteen C. fourteen D. fifteen
C
Pop-up eating places? Reasonable. Pop-up stalls? Easy. But a pop-up hotel? It sounds thoroughly unlikely in light of the construction work needed. In 2010, though, this is the hotel du jour (今日特色的).
A luxury pop-up safari camp
Where? South Africa
What is it? To agree with the World Cup, bespoke tour operator Sports Escapes has set up luxury tented accommodation at the Cradle of Humankind in South Africa. The Cradle was labelled a World Heritage site by Unesco and lies 50km north-west of Johannesburg. The nature reserve itself boasts 32 species, with residents including zebras, giraffes and some leopards. The pop-up camp arrives on June 10 and lasts until July 12.
Travelodge goes temporary
Where? Britain
What is it? It may sound unlikely that a conservative chain such as Travelodge would embrace the pop-up but the hotelier thinks it’s a slick and efficient option for the inner city. Spokeswoman Sharday Wells says: ‘We did two pop-up hotels last year in Britain, one in Uxbridge and one in Heathrow. The Uxbridge one is right next to the Tube station so it was much easier building them with shipping containers, rather than having a long-term construction site. The pods are made in China, the bathrooms are done beforehand and then they’re stacked on each other. It’s more energy efficient and easier to construct.’
A lorry-cum-mobile hotel
Where? Spain
What is it? The 18-wheel truck trailer has two storeys and contains 11 bedrooms. As festival-goers hit new heights of luxury in the summer, Hotel Móvil is believed to be the solution to A-lister living in a field. The company that runs it, SuiteMóvil, says the rooms are of five-star standard. The second floor consists of luxurious suites, while the lower deck has en suites. The rooms are equipped with private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, WirelessFidlelity and an outdoor balcony.
Space age domes
Where? Switzerland
What is it? Skiers and snowboarders ahoy – in the heart of the remote village of Les Cerniers, you’ll find 15 geodesic-dome pods surrounding a central chalet. The impermanent design, invented in the 1950s by US architect Richard Buckminster Fuller, was originally meant for emergency low-cost pop-up housing but the white pods are a far cry from that. Anchored on wooden platforms, they are equipped with wood-burning stoves, lustrous bedding and full-service bathrooms. Cowskin rugs cover wooden floors and there are sheepskins on the beds.
The Lego hotel
Where? Britain
What is it? Designed by pioneering architect Tim Pyne, perhaps the most ground-breaking of this new species is the M-Hotel, due to open in Sclater Street, in east London. The hotel can go up and be taken down in three days, says Pyne. Made from shipping containers, the units are easily forklifted into a steel frame so the M-Hotel can be located more or less anywhere.（471 metro）

Tom and I found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich. The Widow Douglas she took me for her son; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn’t stand it no longer I escaped. I got into my old rags and my sugar-hogshead again, and was free and satisfied.
But Tom Sawyer he hunted me up and said he was going to start a band of robbers, and I might join if I would go back to the widow and be respectable. So I went back.
Well, then, the old thing started again. The widow rung a bell for supper, and you had to come to time. When you got to the table you couldn’t go right to eating, but you had to wait for the widow to tuck down her head and grumble a little over the food. After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses. Pretty soon I wanted to smoke,. But she wouldn’t let me and said it was a mean practice and wasn’t clean.
Her sister, Miss Watson, had just come to live with her. She would say, “Don’t put your feet up there, Huckleberry;” and “Don’t scrunch up like that, Huckleberry -- set up straight;” and so on. But all I wanted was to go somewheres and a change.
One night everybody was off to bed. Then I set down in a chair by the window and tried to think of something cheerful, but it wasn’t no use. Pretty soon a spider went crawling up my shoulder, and I flipped it off and it lit in the candle; and before I could realize it was all shriveled up. I didn’t need anybody to tell me that that was an awful bad sign and would fetch me some bad luck, so I was scared. I got up and turned around in my tracks three times and crossed my breast every time; and then I tied up a little lock of my hair with a thread to keep witches away. But I hadn’t no confidence. You do that when you’ve lost a horseshoe that you’ve found, instead of nailing it up over the door, but I hadn’t ever heard anybody say it was any way to keep off bad luck when you’d killed a spider.
Just then, I heard a “me-yow! me-yow!” That was good! Says I, “me-yow! me-yow!” as soft as I could, there was Tom Sawyer waiting for me.
67.Which novel do you thing the passage is taken from?
A. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
B. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
C. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
D. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer
68.Why did the host returned to the Widow Douglas?
A. Because the widow found him and brought him back.
B. Because he felt regretful and unsatisfied
C. Because his best friend promised him something exciting
D. Because his best friend felt sorry for his leaving
69.Which paragraph indicates the widow was regular and decent?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D Paragraph 4
70. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the article?
A. The host killed the spider just to kill time because he felt lonely
B. The host felt scared when he found the spider killed by himself
C. The host thought bad luck would fetch him some bad luck

American Culture
As an American, you have grown up with ideas on how people should think, speak, and behave in different situations. For you, these ideas are seen as “common sense” and perfectly natural and are often subconscious. However, these beliefs and behaviors are defined by your culture, and when you go abroad you will discover that they are more than likely not shared by the host culture. You will need to learn to deal with the differences, and the best way to start doing that is to recognize how American culture has shaped your worldview.
To begin with, Americans tend to share the same values, values that they learned in childhood. Some of the most deeply held beliefs of Americans are egalitarianism (everyone is created equal; no one is better than anyone else), doing over talking (if there’s a problem, don’t talk about how you’ll fix it--just fix it!), directness (get straight to the point; say what you mean and be done), emphasis on accomplishment (people are known for what they’ve done; a good resume has lots of activities and awards), self-reliance (if you want something done, you have to do it yourself; children look forward to living on their own), and experimentation (new discoveries make life better). After the founding, American became a heaven for anyone seeking a new life, and so the spirit that the immigrants brought with them—optimism, a belief in having a second chance, the “American dream” of “rags to riches,” etc.—was passed on to their children and continues to be a part of American ideals. As more and more people came to the United States, the need to expand grew, and eventually, so did the country. The idea of the frontier and the seemingly endless geography also helped to contribute to the individualism of American culture.
American culture also has many other unique aspects that may contrast significantly with your host culture. For instance, Americans tend to be individualistic, resulting in competitiveness and self-reliance being valued. Americans also tend to believe in doing things, because time is limited and belongs to the person. This is the opposite of many cultures, where identity is determined by group membership, and thus cooperation is seen as the most effective way to get work done. These cultures also tend to value being with people rather than getting things done, especially as they do not see themselves as owning time or being in control of circumstances. It is important to understand these radically different worldviews in order to understand why things happen in your host culture differently from in America.
The following table lists contrasting characteristics of world cultures. As you read it, think about which characteristic or value matches your personal views most strongly. US-Americans will, generally speaking, align （使一致）with the first characteristic listed, rather than the second. Each person, regardless of home culture, may align themselves with either element of these pairs, depending on the situation.
§ Individualism vs. Collectivism
§ Competitive vs. Cooperative
§ Time Is Limited vs. Time Is Abundant
§ Doing (Task-centered) vs. Being (Person-centered)
§ Direct vs. Indirect
§ Equality vs. Hierarchy
§ Information Given vs. Information Understood
§ Informal vs. Formal
§ Control Over Life vs. Subject To Fate
§ Change vs. Tradition
§ Materialism vs. Spirituality
§ Value Youth vs. Honor Elders
