Ⅲ 閱讀理解
A
In Jane Austen’s time, unmarried girls were always closely guarded, and hardly allowed to be alone with a young man, and during the Victorian period (just the period after Jane Austen’s) exposure (暴露) of the body in particular was thought to be most immoral. Victorian ladies wore dresses reaching down to their feet, long in the sleeve and high at the neck. Since then, ways of dressing as well as times have changed. Girls are no longer closely guarded, and they can do more or less what they like. And yet among all these astonishing changes, one thing has remained much the same for most people, and that is the same of becoming a mother before being married. If this does happen, there often comes a quick marriage with the responsible man. If this is impossible, the affair may bring considerable shame to the girl’s parents as well as to herself!
It is now quite normal for a girl, once past the age of about fifteen, to go out with a boyfriend, and although her parents will probably insist that she come home at a certain time, beyond this they depend on her or look after herself. Kisses between young men and women are now considered to be perfectly normal, but although times have changed so much, most people still believe that a woman should not become a mother before being married.
1. In Jane Austen period, a girl _____ before her marriage.
A. always faced all kinds of dangers
B. were not permitted to get in touch with men
C. was always carefully kept staying morally pure
D. usually felt lonely
2. From the article, we learn that _____.
A. a girl of 15 has the right to be along with her boyfriend
B. it is good for a girl of 15 to have a boyfriend
C. the unmarried girl who has a baby needn’t get married at once
D. an unmarried girl must come back home for the night
3. The main idea of this article is that _____.
A. girls are no longer closely guarded
B. a girl should not become a mother before being married
C. ways of dressing have changed with the time
D. exposure of the body has been thought to be immoral

Deserts(沙漠) are found where there is little rainfall, or where the rainfall for a whole year falls in only a few weeks’ time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to grow if the rain is spread throughout the year. But if the ten inches falls during one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, a desert may form.
When many people think of deserts, they think of large areas of sand. Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that become smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘), or drifting sand, are made as winds move the sand over the desert. Grain by grain, the dune grows over the years, always changing its place and shape(形狀) with the winds. Most dunes are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.
There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (懸崖) and canyons (峽谷) were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than a hundred million years ago. Over the centuries, the water drained (流干) away. Wind, sand, rain, heat, and cold all carved away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing-very, very slowly-as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock..
Most deserts have surprising kinds of life. There are plants, animals, and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things. But as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert is once again quiet and lonely.
4. Deserts may form where ____.
A. it rains throughout the year
B. ten inches of rain falls
C. a little rain falls every other month
D. there is little rain
5. If ten inches of rain is falling throughout the year, ____.
A. deserts are formed
B. many plants can grow
C. almost all the plants will die
D. there are no living things
6. Which of the following is true?
A. The faces of the desert mountains can never change.
B. Sand dunes were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than a hundred million years ago.
C. There are few living things in the desert.
D. Deserts may be found where the rainfall for a whole year falls in only a few weeks.
7. The best title of the passage should be ''________''.
A. The Deserts
B. The Rainfall
C. The Plants and Animals in the Deserts
D. Desert Life

A higher reading rate, with no loss of comprehension, will help you in other subjects as well as in English, and the general principles apply to any language. Naturally you will not read every book at the same speed. You would expect to read a newspaper, for example, much more rapidly than a physics or economics textbook, but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with.
The reading passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction. They are all about five hundred words long. They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge. Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel. If you read this kind of English , with understanding at four hundred words per minute, you might skim through a newspaper at perhaps 650---700 , while with a difficult textbook you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty.
Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English-speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved. Tests in Minnesota, U.S.A., for example, have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty, for example, Tolstoy’s War and Peace in translation, at speeds of between 240 and 250 words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension. Students in Minnesota claim that after twelve half-hour lessons, once a week, the reading speed can be increased, with no loss of comprehension, to around five hundred words per minute.
12. According to the passage, the purpose of effective reading with higher speed is most likely to help you ______.
A. only in your reading of a physics textbook
B. improve your understanding of an economics textbook
C. not only in your language study but also in other subjects
D. choose the suitable materials to read
13. Which of the following does not describe the types of reading materials mentioned in the second paragraph?
A. Those beyond one’s reading comprehension.
B. Those concerned with common knowledge.
C. Those without the demand for specialized knowledge.
D. Those with the length of about five hundred words.
14. The average speed of untrained native speakers in the University of Minnesota is _____.
A. about three hundred words per minute
B. about two hundred and forty-five words per minute
C. about sixty words per minute
D. about five hundred words per minute
15. According to the passage, how fast can you expect to read after you have attended twelve half-hour lessons in the University of Minnesota?
A. You can increase your reading speed by three times.
B. No real increase in reading speed can be achieved.
C. You can increase your reading speed by four times.
D. You can double your reading speed.
16. Where do you think the passage is taken from?
A. The introduction to a book on fast reading.
B. A local newspaper for young people
C. A school newspaper run by students.
D. The introduction to an English textbook.

One possible version:
Yao Ming’s dream has finally come true. The 2.26-meter-tall Yao made an excellent NBA start on Wednesday in his first match since he arrived in the States three days ago. He scored 6 points in 12 minutes. Yao has signed a four- year contract with the Houston Rockets.
Born in a basketball player’s family in Shanghai, Yao Ming joined his first professional team at fourteen, and then received his degree at Shanghai Sports College. Due to his hard training, quick thinking and moving, he became an all-round player, who handles the ball well and is good at jump shooting.
Yao, 22, has been a star in China for some time. In October 2002, he led the Chinese national team to get a silver medal in the 14th Asian Games.
