第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40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

Seventeen-year-old Randy Waldron, Jr．was shocked when he applied for his first credit card –and was denied（拒绝）．He was even more shocked by the reason: He failed to repay thousands of dollars in debt．

Waldron's identity had been stolen by his father, who left when Randy was learning to walk．From 1982 to 1999, Handy Waldron, Sir, used his son's Social Security number to obtain credit from various merchants and lenders, then racked up tens of thousands of dollars in debts．He declared bankruptcy（破产）in his son's name, which resulted in default judgments against the younger Waldron．It has taken Randy Jr．now a 24-year-old flight attendant, years to untangle （清理）the mess．

Waldron isn't alone．Identity theft is this country's fastest-growing crime-and, increasingly, ID thieves are targeting children．Their clean credit and absence of criminal histories make them ideal victims．

Linda Foley．co-executive director of the Identity Theft Resource Center in San Diego estimates that at least 400,000 children had their identities stolen in 2005，more than double the number in 2003．Waldron's case is typical: The resource center estimates that two -thirds of child ID thefts are committed by family members．

Some dishonest persons use children's names and Social Security numbers to ring up massive debts; others use children's identities in place of their own when caught committing other crimes; still others sell identification information on the black market to illegal immigrants, fellow criminals or even terrorists．The theft brings its victims enormous financial and emotional trauma, in part because the identity abuse often goes undetected for years．

Dealing with child identity theft after it happens is extremely difficult．Laws in many states are insufficient to handle the crime's complexity, and financial institutions are often less than helpful．Randy Waldron, Jr．, has worked tirelessly for eight years to straighten out his credit record, and he continues to deal with the fallout．"It's been a very long and arduous battle," he says．"Recovering my identity was really the absolute hardest part．I think a lot of victims assume the problem will go away．"

56．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A．How to Avoid Identity Theft B．Child Identity Theft

C．Recover My Identity D．Look out for Family Members

57．Why do children easily become the targets of identity theft?

A．Because they cannot read or write at a young age．

B．Because they are too young to protect themselves．

C．Because they have empty credit and criminal records．

D．Because identity theft can't be found in time．

58．With the help of the child's identity, the criminals can do the following EXCEPT that___.

A．straighten out their own credit record

B．substitute for their own identities when caught committing crimes

C．obtain credits from various merchants and lenders

D．sell identification information on the black market

59．It can be inferred from the passage that______．

A．Identity theft is the fastest-growing crime in the country

B．Children should never trust their family members

C．Financial institutions should be responsible for the identity theft

D．New laws should be made to help the identity theft victims

B

BEIJING-Alarmed by the overreaching ambitions of many Chinese provinces to grow at all costs, China's top economic chief is calling on officials to calm down and spare a thought for the environment．

Zhang Ping, who heads China's National Development and Reform Commission, the central economic planning agency, said only five or six of China's 30 provinces are targeting annual economic growth of 8 percent or 9 percent．

The remaining provinces are aiming for growth rates of more than 10 percent this year, with

some wanting to double economic output in the coming five years．

"China has a planned energy supply of about 4 billion cubic tons of coal equivalent （等量的）for the next five years, and this is not enough to meet demands for economic growth to double," he was

quoted as saying on the news portal Sina．Com．

Beijing is increasingly concerned with the ambitions of Chinese provinces across the country to chase （追逐）high growth despite the central government's urgent request for a more moderate and sustainable （可持续的）pace of expansion．

Years of rapid economic growth has taken a toll on China's environment, with Beijing trying to remove some of the damage now．It has an annual growth target of 7 percent for the next five years, well down from last year's 10 percent．

Zhang said Beijing has asked local governments to take into account the supply of "energy, environment, water and land" to set more reasonable growth targets．

60．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Many Chinese provinces are alarmed by Beijing．

B．Zhang Ping is an expert and economic chief from www．Sina．Com．

C．The supply of the coal in China is not sufficient for the next five years．

D．Few Chinese provinces are aiming for economic growth rates of less than 10%．61．The underlined phrase "taken a toll on" in the sixth paragraph means "_____"．A．looked forward to B．paid attention to

C．caused damage to D．attached importance to

62．The general idea of the whole passage can be that _____．

A．China's economy is developing

B．China's top chief places more emphasis on the environment

C．all Chinese provinces should slow down their economic growth rates

D．economic high growth should go hand in hand with environmental protection 63．What could be the best title for the news?

A．Economic Development B．Energy Supply

C．Sustainable Development D．Environment protection

Two new electronic book products （the SoftBook and the PocketBook）have gathered extensive press coverage, including articles in ABC News, the New York Times, San Jose Mercury News, and WIRED．

An electronic book （e-book）is a book-length publication in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, and produced on, published through, and readable on computers or other electronic devices．Different; from a; tcaditional printed book, e-books are bom digital．Being a firm believer in tablet computers for many tasks not involving heavy data entry．I applaud these new．desiignsofthe products．In particular, the SoftBook has nice leather binding （封皮）, going far beyondithe traditional （and boring）industrial design used for other portable computers．The PocketBook has．a more traditional industrial design, typical of leading electronic gadgets （小配件）．

Unfortunately; neither company mentions their product's screen resolution （分辨率）．Low-resolution'monitors （including all computer screens until now）have poor readability: people read about 25% slower from computer screens than from printed paper．Scientists believe that only the screen with 300 dpi displays has the same reading speed as print．So unless they have much better screens, electronic books will have a problem．

A project called "the last book" is getting much attention, which aims at producing a computer in the form of a folio （对开本）: a set of pages using "digital ink"．Users would move

forward in the information by turning pages just as they do in a printed book．Hopefully, the scientists will eventually invent a way to make the "digital ink" display characters at a high enough resolution to gain the same reading speed as print．

Even when e-books gain the same reading speed as print, they will still be a bad idea．Page turning remains a bad interface （界面）, even when it can be done more conveniently than by clicking the mouse on a "next page" button．

Another problem is that most e-book publishers do not warn their customers about the real meaning of the digital rights management （DRM）tied to their products．Generally they claim that it is meant to prevent copying of the e-book．However, in many cases it is also possible that it will result in the complete denial of access by the purchaser to the e-book．The e-book is tied to a specific computer or device．In these cases, the DRM will usually let the purchaser move the book a limited number of times after which they cannot use it on any additional devices．If the purchaser upgrades or replaces their devices, they may lose access to their purchase．Some forms of the DRM depend on the existence of online services to authenticate （认证）the purchasers．When the company that provides the service goes out of business or decides to stop providing the service, the purchaser will no longer be able to access the e-book．

68．From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3, we know that the writer ____．A．has bought the two new products before

B．likes the special designs of the new products

C．thinks it more convenient to use traditional computers

D．doesn't like the traditional design of portable computers

69．We can learn from the passage that ____．

A．born digital, e-books can only be read on computers

B．"digital ink" has gained the same reading speed as print

C．now all the computers are using the screens with 300 dpi displays

D．e-books may have slower reading speed compared with printed books

70．Due to the digital rights management, _____．

A．the e-book should be tied to a specific device

B．people should upgrade their devices regularly

C．readers are likely to lose access to their purchase

D．only purchasers can download the book without limit

71．This passage mainly talks about _____．

A．the disadvantages of electronic books B．the future of electronic books

C．the designs of electronic books D．two new electronic books

A popular saying goes, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me．" However, that's not really true．Words have the power to build us up or tear us down．It doesn't matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves —he positive and negative effects are just as lasting．

We all talk to ourselves sometimes．We're usually too embarrassed to admit it, though．In fact, we really shouldn't' be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out

loud is a healthy habit．

This "self—talk" helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down．Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self—talk tends to be negative．So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves．We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back．The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying "Good job!"

Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effects they will have．But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses to others．For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange．And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner．Or harsh and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive．

Words possess power because of their lasting effect．Many of us regret something we once said．And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn't pass this test, then it's better left unsaid．

Words possess power: both positive and negative．Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively．We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best．Negative words destroy all those things．Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours．

72．The author argues in the first paragraph that _____．

A．words won't hurt us at all B．negative words may let us down

C．inspiring words give us confidence D．words have lasting effects on us

73．Why shouldn't we feel embarrassed when it comes to talking to ourselves?

A．Talking to ourselves helps us to settle all the problems．

B．Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself．

C．Talking to ourselves is believed to do good to our health．

D．It does harm to have "self-talk" when we are alone．

74．Which of the following statements would the author agree to?

A．It is unlikely to forget unkind words．

B．It is better to think twice before talking to others．

C．Positive words may destroy all the good relations．

D．Negative words are sure to cause favorable response．

75．Why should we talk in a friendly way when returning an item to a store?

A．Because positive words destroy true relationships．

B．Because the clerk in a store is difficult to deal with．

C．Because critical language may hurt your feelings．

D．Because friendly words cause positive responses．
