第三部分：阅读理解（共２０小题；每小题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。

A

Geena David knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young. She was not sure what gave her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star. “I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sunglasses,” she says. “I used to wear them to watch TV.”

Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good, but because their eyes hurt. The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem know n as “Klieg eyes”. It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights. Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest. But when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must.

Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street. Audrey Hephburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie,

Breakfast at Tiffany’s. As a result, Ray-Ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in the movies. In 1979, Ray-Ban “Wayfarers” were worn by Jake and Elwood in The Blue Brothers. Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban “Aviator” sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun. Then in 1997, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban “Predator” sunglasses famous in Men in Black.

Of course sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement. The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against UV radiation. UV radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully. But you don’t have to give up style for safety. The choice of frames and lenses available these days is huge. So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach.

56.What is mainly discussed in this passage?

A. The use of sunglasses.

B. The history of sunglasses.

C. The sunglasses wearing.

D. Why movie stars like to wear sunglasses.

A. they wore sunglasses

B. they went out in the sun too much

C. the lights on movie sets were too bright

D. their scripts were written in very small writing

59.We may know from this passage that ______.

A. Audrey Hephburn was a famous film star

B. Ray-Ban is the name of sunglasses maker

C. Sunglasses made Top Gun the hit in 1986

D. Men in Black must be an advertisement of sunglasses

“Just five more minutes.” “I’m tired!” “I can’t get up.” If you have eve r had trouble getting up in the morning, you are not alone. Many kids in the United States do not get enough sleep.

Your body needs sleep —and lots of it! “Evidence(证据) shows that elementary-age children need at least nine hours of sleep per night,” said sleep expert Dr. Carl Hunt.

Kids who do not sleep enough cannot do their best, experts say. A tired kid may be moody and act badly. Being tired can also cause kids to forget things,have trouble learning, and have trouble playing sports.

Not sleeping enough can also affect kids’safety. Experts say children who are tired are more likely to suffer injuries.

Lots of kids lose sleep because they are busy. Many take part in after-school activities. Then they go home, eat dinner, and do homework. Afterward, many kids watch TV, play video games, and surf the Internet. That leaves less time for sleep.

Sometimes you may not be able to go to bed early. But, if you get a choice whether to stay up late, think twice. A good night’s sleep can help you feel your best!

It looks like a mobile phone, but the service is much cheaper. It acts like a mobile phone, but only in your own city. Beyond the city walls, it’s useless.

“Little Smart”, also called “xiaolingtong”, has always been compared to mobile phones. But actually, it is more like one of those cordless phones(无绳电话) used around the home. The only difference is that this one reaches much further than from the bathroom to the living room. It can travel across an entire city.

Cheap costs are the main reason for the success of Little Smart. It costs 25 yuan a month for the line and about 0.1 yuan per minute to use. A mobile phone, on the other hand, can cost four or five times as much. What’s more, unlike mobile phones, there’s no fee(费) for incoming calls. So these low charges have attracted many users.

But, Little Smart is not really that smart. Users often complain about its bad voice quality. And there are not as many stations to pick up its signals as there are for mobiles. “I couldn’t receive a phone call if I was on a bus,” said Li Ping, a user in Hangzhou. “It worked fine when I stood still, but there were breaks in signal when I was moving.”

Scientists are trying to make Little Smart more user-friendly. Messaging and

Internet access(接入) have been added to the service. And the latest Little Smart handset even has color screen.

64.Why is Little Smart popular in China?

A. It looks like a mobile phone.

B. The service is much cheaper.

C. There is no fee for incoming calls.

D. All of the above.

65.How is the charge of Little Smart?

D. There’s no fee for calls.

66.Why are users not satisfied with Little Smart?

A. They can’t hear each other clearly out of the city.

B. There are so few stations for Little Smart to pick up its signals.

C. When you use it, you must stand up.

D. The charges are low.

67.The u nderlined word “handset” in the last paragraph means “______”.

A. the hand bag

B. telephone

C. service

68.What can we infer from the passage?

A. It’s wrong to say that Little Smart is smart.
