   第三部分   阅读理解

   阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡1上将该项涂黑.   AAfter losing her job and home in 1984, Lynn Carr was living on the streets of St. Charles, Montana, with her five-year-old son. "We slept in our car for about a week," she said, "but then it was sold. "As she moved from one friend' s house to another, Carr began working toward a high-school-equivalence diploma(高中同等学历证书), listening to self-help tapes and making cheesecakes.After developing some new methods which she thought were pretty good, she offered her cakes to a restaurant. They sold out in a matter of hours.The following year, she met a man at a church service and before long, they married. Carr began selling the cheesecakes out of their home. Later she opened a cheesecake company. As business became better and better, Carr didn't forget where she came from.All the women she hires are mothers or high-school dropouts(退学者)--workers most other  employers wouldn' t like to hire. Her dozen workers make 100 to 150 cakes a week and Carr owes  her success to her employees. She says, "We're going to have a learning center and a day-care  center in the company. Part of the workday will be spent studying for high-school-equivalence diplomas. "Recently, a 33-year-old woman with three children to raise was referred to Cart. She hired her at once. “It has been a real blessing (恩赐), ” the woman said.

       56. The text suggests that Lynn Carr[ A ] had to sell her car for a new one[ B ] had few friends to turn to for help[ C ] was once a school dropout herself[ D ] didn't work hard enough to keep her job

BThe banana "tree" is actually not a real tree. This is because there is no wood in the stem(树干) rising above the ground. The stem is made up of leaves growing very close together, one in-side the other. The leaves spread out at the top of the stem and rise in the air,     Banana plants need a lot of care and attention. They must be provided with water if the normal rainfall doesn't supply enough. The area around the plants must be kept free of weeds(杂草) and grass.About nine or ten months after planting, a flower appears on the banana plant. This flower is at the end of a long stalk(茎), which grows from the base up through the center of the stem and turns downward when it comes out from the top. Small bananas form on this flower stalk as it grows downward. Bananas really grow upside down. As the small bananas form on the stalk, they  point downward, but as they grow they turn and point upward.Bananas are harvested while they are still green, Even when they are to be eaten where theyare grown, they are not allowed to ripen on the plant. A banana that turns yellow on the plant loses its taste.

   CEveryone wants the best for a baby. A mother wants her baby to have the best in the way of food, toys, clothing and equipment. Her value judgements on prices may go wrong when it comes to buying for a baby, particularly the first one. Factory producers and advertisers(广告商) recognize this, and exploit it to the full. Far more is spent in buying push-chairs, special milk, and special powders for small babies than is necessary.The child himself watches television, a particularly strong influence ( 影响) on Small children. Looking at them as they watch television, and then watching them react to products afterwards, suggests that young children accept the television advertisements as well as the guidance offered by children' s programmes , and find both equally attractive. The child comes early in life to the feeling widespread in this country that if something is said on television it must be true.For this reason much Christmas gift advertising, and advertising for sweets, food and washing powders, is specially designed for children because of the effect their repeated nagging can have on their mothers. By exercising in this way they become consumers (消费者) at an early age and as a result, with present-day pressures, choosing and buying goods and services will remain an important part of their future lives

       64. According to the writer, a mother spends more than necessary on___________.[ A ] Christmas advertising[ B ] special powders[ C ] television[ D ] sweets

       67. The best title for the text could be____________.[ A ] Mothers and babies[ B ] Children as consumers[ C ] Giving the best to babies[ D ] Choosing goods for children

DThe number of people in the world is growing. By the year 2,000 world population is expected to grow to 6.2 billion. The fastest growth is in developing countries, where there is already a shortage(短缺) of food, housing, and jobs. Africa is the fastest-growing part of the world. In Kenya, for example, the population will increase 10 times in the next 80 years.In Asia, a few countries have begun to reduce their population growth slowly, china still  makes up about 21% of the world's population, but it has greatly slowed down its rate(速度) of growth. It is now growing at a rate of only 0.8% per year. In India, however, the population continues to grow, and it is expected to be even larger than the Chinese population by the year 2040.The population in India is growing three times faster than in Australia, Japan, and the developed countries in Europe. In fact, European people are more worried about population decrease(减少)than increase. Eastern European countries are growing at a rate of only about 1%.The best news is that, in general, population growth has slowed down from 2.08% in 1970 to 1.6% in 1985. At the present rate, the earliest that the world could reach zero population growth is 2040. At that time, there will probably be about 8 billion people in the world. It is possible, though, that the population might not really stop growing until much later. With people living longer, the number of elderly will have grown by 15% by that time. Nearly half of the world' s population will be living in cities. This is a situation that could cause a long list of other problems including pollution and a lack of food, water, housing, and jobs.
