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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A　　The incident took place on Sunday, the 25th of June. On that particular day, a south wind had been gusting（劲吹）on and off all morning. It was not strong enough to cause us any concern , so we carried on with our daily work, not suspecting what was about to happen.　　The storm gave us very little warning. Black clouds loomed over the distant horizon（地平线）so suddenly that we were taken by surprise .Even then, we were not really worried, as the clouds seemed to be moving over our house and towards the distant mountains. Then, just as the clouds had moved inland, the wind suddenly swung around in a full circle and we were facing a major storm. 　　

    Instantly, we were busily preparing for the worst .The whole family had experienced such a storm before and everyone remembered the damage it had caused to stock and crops. There was very little we could do about the crops .But we needed to protect the animals in case the river flooded again. My older brother called his sheep-dog and began driving our small flock of sheep to higher ground above the river .If the river flooded, they should be safe there . 　　In the meantime, my father was mending a shed roof that had partly fallen down after many years of fine service. If the tin flew off, it could damage the house. My younger brother began hurriedly carrying firewood under the shelter .My job was to help Mum board up the windows. If the storm developed into a cyclone（旋风）,the boards would protect the glass. 　　The storm raged for four hours, pouring more rain on us than we had seen in the last five years. As expected, the river broke its banks and came slowly up towards the house and the stock. 

   Then, just as we were beginning to lose hope, the storm stopped as suddenly as it had begun .The animals were safe, and the roof was still nailed on. “All’s well that ends well,” said my mother. 
56.When the black clouds appeared suddenly in the distance.
A. the family were surprised B. they were extremely worried
C. they were preparing for the worst D. they faced the storm bravely
57."There was very little we could do about the crops" indicates that .
A. little damage would be done to the crops
B. they had everything ready for the crops
C. they felt unable to protect the crops
D. the crops should be safe enough there
58.The underlined word "stock" in the third paragraph refers to .
A. money owned by the family B. goods for sale
C. supplies for family use D. farm animals .
59. It can be inferred from what the mother said that——
A. they had no damage at all
B. everything went beyond their expectation
C. everything was under control
D. the family could have suffered a greater loss

 Buster Brown was a thief—and a good one, too, he thought. He’d never been caught by the police because he never took chances .He was always prepared for any unforeseen event or emergency. 　　

Confidently, he stood outside the house of his intended victim（受害者）and read the sign on the front gate of the house . “Don’t worry about the dog—be aware of the owner!” it said .Buster smiled and found his way in. 　　

The house looked quite normal outside, but inside it was very exotic with fascinating objects on display. As he began putting them into his bag ,a dog came into the room .It stopped when it saw Buster ,then wagged its tail madly and went over to him ,licking his outstretched hand. “Good boy ,” Buster whispered. “What a great guard dog you are –trying to lick me to death.” 　　

Satisfied he’d made friends with the dog ,Buster began to wander round the house ,choosing items to put in his bag .His skilled eye picked out only the best antiques（古董）: a pair of silver candleholders, a silver tea-and-coffee service ,etc.. His new friend, the dog, sat and watched, as if wondering what was happening. 　　

“Well ,boy,” Buster whispered finally. “That might do. Any more and I won’t be able to carry it!” He swung the heavy bag into his shoulders, just as the lights on, nearly blinding him. He shielded his eyes with his hand. 　　

“You’re a very silly person,” the figure in the doorway said, his voice dry as dust. As the man came closer, Buster could see he was well dressed. His face seemed familiar, but Buster couldn’t quite place where he had seen him before. 　　

“You should have taken more notice of the sign outside,” the man rasped. “I knew about this attempted robbery last week and I also know you will end up behind bars for 20 years. Fancy trying to rob the house of the world’s greatest fortune-teller!” 

60. Why was Buster so confident?
A. He was not afraid of dogs.
B. He knew the owner of the house lived alone
C. He had never been caught by the police.
D. The house had no security alarm.
61. Which of the definitions is closest in meaning to the word "exotic" in the third paragraph?
A. Messy and untidy. B. Rich and expensive.
C. Comfortable and calming. D. Foreign and unusual.
62. How did Buster decide which objects to take?
A. He took those that were easy to carry in his bag.
B. He took only the best antiques.
C. He took those that he knew he could sell easily.
D. He looked for silver objects.
63. What punishment waits for Buster Brown?
A. A prison sentence with hard labour. B. A long prison sentence.
C. A heavy fine. D. Community service for 20 years.

C　　

Early people had very little effect on the environment. They lived in caves in very small ’clan’ groups. They collected or killed only enough for the clan’s survival. Early clans were nomadic, which means that they did not stay in one place. Instead, they moved around, following the animals that were their main food source and seeking areas where seasonal plants grew wild. Moving around seasonally helped to protect the environment. The land had time to recover and animals had time to breed（繁殖）before the clan returned for the next season. 　　As time went by, these small family clans joined with others to form larger groups for protection. Joining with other clans gave them more hunters and more women to help cut up the meat and share it between families. Eventually, people tamed （驯养） wild animals such as dogs and horses. People settled around rivers and fertile plains to share responsibilities and duties. Then, people began to plant crops instead of moving to areas where the plants grew. This development changed the environment. 　　

Traditional forms of work also changed. Some people were better at performing a particular task than other clan members, so they began to specialize in things they were good at doing. This also meant that they began to exchange their goods for things that others produced. 　　People began to communicate with distant tribes. Land was cleared for roads. Foreign plants and animals were transported to places where they had not existed before. Specialization also gave people more free time. So art, dance and music became important ways of expressing feelings and thoughts. This was how many great civilizations started. 　　Compared to the past, modern civilization has experienced many changes to become the highly developed society that exists today. Populations have increased rapidly. Forests have been cleared for farms. Inventions and technology have made work easier. 　　

However, pollution and other serious problems have also resulted from human progress. As concerned citizens, it is up to us to learn from past mistakes and to help maintain and improve our environment.
