第三节. 阅读理解
阅读下列短文，并做每篇后面的题目。从四个选项中，选出最佳答案。(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分)
A.
Frank Lloyd Wright probably is the greatest architect that the United States has ever produced. He was very gifted and had a natural ability to design buildings. His buildings were not only beautiful, but they were also practical and useful. They fit their purposes very well. Wright’s churches, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel comfortable at home. However, Frank Lloyd Wright’s beautiful, practical and useful buildings are not the only reason that he is famous. There is another reason.
Frank Lloyd Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wright’s buildings do not look like old European buildings. They have their own styles. Wright’s idea about style is still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.
The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wright’s Style of Architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it. His houses are often called “grassland houses” because their lines are similar to the lines on the grassland. Both the lines of the grassland and the lines of Wright’s houses are parallel to the horizon(与地平线平行), the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, in contrast, have many vertical lines that form 90º angles with the horizon.
56. Frank Lloyd Wright’s style in architecture was _________________.
A. learned from some European countries B. not only limited to the U.S.
C. no longer popular D. somewhat similar to the European style
57. Which of the following best describes the character of the houses that Wright designed?
A. They were very large and beautiful. B. They were very comfortable.
C. They could be used as churches.
D. They were beautiful I design but not practical in use
58. What is the most important idea in Wright’s style?
A. Architectural design should match natural surroundings.
B. A building must have grassland around it.
C. American style in architecture should be different from European’s.
D. Design should be more important than use.
59. Which of the following is NOT true about Wright’s “grassland houses”?
A. The lines of “grassland houses” are similar to lines on the grassland.
B. The lines of “grassland houses” are horizontal.
C. The color of the lines of “grassland houses” is green.
D. They are different from European style houses.
60. The best title for this passage would be _____________.
A. The Differences between the American and European Styles in Architecture
B. “Grassland” Houses Designed by Wright
C. How to Make Your Houses More Beautiful
D. The Influence of Wright on American Architecture
B
“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”
That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.
Your eyes can tell you that glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is.
When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.
With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.
You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy, such as food, clothes and so on. To see something well, we have to touch it.
The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a bad floor. All feel different under your feet.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling.
One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!
Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch! There you can feel everything on show. If you want to see better , reach out and touch. Then you’ll really see!”
61. By touching things _______.
A. you will have a strange feeling B. you will learn how to reach out
C. you can tell the difference between them D. you can tell what colors they are
62. Which of the following can be the best title of the story?
A. Touching by Feeling B. To See or to Feel
C. To See Better — Feel D. Ways of Feeling
63. When people buy things in shops, they often _______.
A. try them on first B. put their right hand on them

. Why does it say, “At first, it is not easy to feel these things?”

C. People know how to use the things. D. The things are easy to feel.

When you watch TV programmes about wild animals, it is amazing to see how an antelope can escape a lion’s attack. In the wilderness, everyone has a stunt (绝技). Even plants have their own ways of fighting off enemies.
Over millions of years of evolution, plants have developed a unique defense system. Chemicals are widely used for survival, By making their leaves, flowers, stems, roots and fruits distasteful or poisonous to predators (食肉动物), plants can fight back.
One such plant is the Gold Wattle tree. British botanist David Cameron has found that when an animal eats the tree’s leaves, the amount of poisonous tannin (丹宁酸) increases in the other leaves. “It’s like the damaged leaves telephoning the others telling them to fight together against the enemy,” he said.
The tree also sends defense messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle trees in the surrounding 45 meters will get the message and produce more tannin within 10 minutes. Now, if a predator eats too many of the trees’ leaves, it will die.
Every species of plant or tree specializes in the production of a particular set of chemicals. A herbivore (草食动物) that can safely eat the leaves of one tree may be poisoned by its neighbor.
In this way, plants have developed not only individual defense systems, but also shared it with others. This makes it impossible for a single predator to destroy even a small area of forest.
66．According to the passage, which of the following statements about the Golden Wattle tree is NOT correct?
A．It fights off its enemies by producing poisonous chemicals.
B．It has the ability to warn its neighboring plants of danger.
C．It is only poisonous while it is being attacked.
D．An animal that eats too many of its leaves may be poisoned to death.
67．It is impossible for a single predator to destroy even a small area of forest mainly because .
A．plants will become poisonous if they are attacked.
B．plants have very good individual defense systems.
C．plants can protect themselves and share their defense systems.
D．plants can give out special smell to fight off their enemies.
68．What does David Cameron mean in paragraph 3?
A．He means that leaves of Golden Wattle trees can speak to each other.
B．He intends to emphasize that the defense system of Golden Wattle is quick and effective.
C．He wants to indicate that the Golden Wattle leaves are very clever.
D．He is explaining how the Golden Wattle trees warn each other when they are attacked.
69．According to the writer, the unique defence system of plants is the result of .
A．millions of years of evolution. B．their outstanding poison producing system.
C．the tough natural environment. D．large numbers of herbivores in the wilderness.
70．What would be the best title for the passage ?
A．Stunts in the wilderness. B．A unique plant.
C．Poisonous plants. D．Plants fight back.

As we all know, wood has many uses. It is a kind of very important building material. Wood can be made into desks, chairs, beds and many other things. Fine paper is made of wood, too. Only trees can provide us with enough wood. Trees can also provide us with oxygen and make the air around us fresh. In hot summer trees give us shade and make our surroundings more beautiful.
