第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）
A Dear Sir, I am writing to express my concern about the plans to build a motorway near our village. Haldersham is one of the loveliest villages in England. It is peaceful and quiet, and it is situated in a very attractive valley. There are also several beautiful countryside walks in the surroundings, with a view of many rare trees and plants. Most of the people who live in Haldersham have moved here from other places, often from London and other big cities. They have bought houses here to live in a place far away from the noise and the stress of the big city. They paid a lot of money for their houses, but they knew they would get a high quality of life for it. 3
If the planned motorway is built, life in Haldersham will change greatly. There will be a lot of noise around us, and nobody will want to go on the walks. House prices will certainly go down, because nobody will want to buy houses in a place close to a motorway. Haldersham will become an ugly place. I don’t think any of the people living in this beautiful village want that, and we all believe exposure to noise pollution can have a direct influence on our health. So, let’s all tell the politicians who support the motorway plans what we think about them! Yours faithfully, Hilary Riley Hilary Riley 56. Many people move to Haldersham because ______.
A. it has a good environment B. it is not far away from big cities
C. they want to be a help to the village D. they prefer to study rare plants in this area 57. According to Hilary Riley, a motorway will ______. A. cause high house prices B. bring people stress C. provide a convenient life D. affect the quality of life 58. What’s the purpose of the letter?
A. To give an introduction of Haldersham. B. To show grateful thanks to the politicians.
C. To express disapproval about the motorway. D. To offer suggestions on building the motorway.

What a Scientist Is Like
If you were asked to imagine a scientist, what image (形象) would come to your mind? The common idea that most kids from kindergarten through college have of a scientist is a man wearing a white lab coat with messy hair, big glasses, and several glass cups of mysterious colorful liquids giving off clouds of smoke. As for adults, the majority view scientists as strange people who spend 100 hours a week slaving away in a lonely laboratory. However, the reality is quite different.
Recently I’ve had a chance to take part in a scientific experience far from my laboratory and into Costa Rica. It supports a huge amount of wildlife due to its geographical placement between North and South America. It is home to more than 500,000 species (物种), which represents nearly 4% of the total species worldwide!
First we worked alongside conservationists to preserve wildlife at a leatherback turtle (棱皮龟) rescue center. We helped the volunteers preserve turtle populations by removing rubbish from the shoreline to create a safe environment for turtle eggs to come out. After that we stayed at Mount Arenal where we studied seismic activity relating to earthquakes. During our stay at Arenal, we rode over the mountainous areas and took a long walk through the rainforest. After reaching the top, we went down and through waterfalls to the beautiful valley below! On the last day we got a hands-on introduction to rocket science where we learned about new rocket technology that will be used on the international space station.
During my Costa Rica experience, I know that being a scientist doesn’t mean working in a lab all day and night. A scientist is one who loves learning and getting a better understanding of the world from helping preserve wild-life, learning about earthquakes or inventing rockets. I think that schools should really stress that science is so much more than wearing a lab coat and mixing chemicals. Kids need to be aware of the excitement and adventures science can bring! 59. According to the first paragraph, scientists are often believed ______. A. to work as slaves B. to behave in a strange way
C. to spend too much time in labs D. to do experiments in messy labs 60. The author helped to preserve the turtle population by ______.
