Ⅲ. 阅读理解。(每小题2分，共30分)
A
Mount Huang is in the south of Anhui Province. It was not called Mount Huang until
747 AD，and was given that name because of an old story about Huang Di. He was the
ancestor(祖先) of the Chinese people，and made magic immortality pills(药丸) there. It was
thought that after taking the magic pills，people would live forever.
There are five famous Chinese mountains. We call them the Wuyue. They are Mount
Tai(Shandong Province)，Mount Hua(Shanxi Province)，Mount Heng(Shanxi Province)，
Mount Song(Henan Province) and Mount Heng(Hunan Province).Though Mount Huang isn't
one of the Wuyue，it is very famous as well. It's said that you won't want to visit any other
mountain after seeing the Wuyue，but that you won't want to see even the Wuyue after
returning from Mount Huang. These words should give you some ideas of the beauty of
Mount Huang.
There are many places for people to watch the sunrise on Mount Huang. The best times
are 5：30－6：00(spring)，4：40－5：10(summer)，4：50－5：20(fall) and 5：30－
6:00(winter).When you visit Mount Huang，it's best if you get a chance to see the seas of
clouds. September to May is the best season，but you're welcome to visit Mount Huang at any
time!
( )26. Why did people call the mountain Mount Huang in 747 AD?
A. Because it was one of China's most famous mountains.
B. Because it is in the south of Anhui Province.
C. Because it didn't have a name before 747 AD.
D. Because of an old story about Huang Di.
( )27. The underlined word “immortality”in the first paragraph probably means
“________”.
A. 病人 B. 皇帝 C. 永生 D. 长眠
( )28. Why does the writer mention the Wuyue?
A. Because Mount Huang is not as famous as the Wuyue.
B. Because the Wuyue are not worth visiting.
C. Because the Wuyue are the highest mountains in China.
D. Because Mount Huang is even more beautiful than the famous Wuyue.
( )29. If Tracy wants to see the sunrise in winter，when should she reach the top of Mount
Huang?
A. 5：30－6：00. B. Before 4：00.
C. After 6：00. D. 6：30－7：30.
( )30. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Mount Huang is in the south of Anhui Province.

Even if you shop with plastic bags，always remember to recycle them. Most families
don't realize the importance of eco－friendly living—especially children. So how can you
help children start seeing green？Well，here are a few suggestions.
1. Don't buy toys—borrow instead. If kids are concerned，most toys start to lose their
shine (光彩).Don't let the unloved toys gather dust around the house—instead，join a local
toy library，give them to the library. And if you do buy new toys，try to buy toys made from
wood and other eco－friendly materials.
2. Spend time outside. Make sure your child spends time learning to be outside. Let him /
her get involved in nature by planting a tree，building a birdhouse，or taking a bike ride in a
nearby park.
3. Teach green. Even if your child doesn't receive an environmental education in the
classroom，there's no reason that you can't spread the word at home. Let your kid help out
with separating your recyclables.
4. Stick with eco－friendly entertainment. Most kids may not seem like interested in the
subject on the environment，but put it in a TV show and they'll change their minds. Give
them a taste of the online cartoon show，and you'll finally find the children learn it happily
and relaxingly.
( )31. The phrase “help children start seeing green” can be replaced by “________”.
A. help children see the green color
B. tell children they should like green
C. help children understand the importance of eco－friendly living
D. teach children how to recycle rubbish
( )32. How many suggestions does the writer mention in the passage?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
( )33. The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “recyclables” is “________”.
A. 可回收利用物 B. 再生能源
C. 化学药剂 D. 电缆线
( )34. According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?
A. We can buy toys made from wood.
B. Parents shouldn't teach children environmental subject at home.
C. Most kids don't like to learn subjects on the environment.
D. Parents should teach their children to build a birdhouse.
( )35. The writer doesn't think that ________.
A. parents should buy lots of toys for their children
B. parents should give unloved toys to the library
C. parents can teach children environmental subjects on TV
D. parents should spend time in nature with their children
C
Will the Internet be used instead of libraries？Well，the obvious(明显的) answer to
this question－at least，it's obvious to me－is no！But there are many people who don't think so. They suggest closing libraries，since “you can find everything on the Internet”. In fact，they are wrong. One can't find everything on the Internet！While the Internet makes search(搜索) easy，and it is probably the best resource(资源) for many health and science topics，we really need books. We can only be sure that the information we find on the Internet is true by reading books.
Libraries offer more services than just the basic information one can find through
Google. For example，a school library can provide services and different resources for all students of the school. Students have different learning ways. School libraries can deal with all of these differences.
One of the great school librarian writers，Doug Johnson，recently wrote an article about this topic. I recommend(推荐) reading it to understand this topic from different angles(角度).I especially like his last paragraph：
Don't take away either my electronic resources or my books. Both are needed to provide students with useful information. And keep in mind that a great library is not just a collection of materials－print or electronic. It is an important mixture of resources，courses and activities. It can help students not only have information，but also the necessary skills to put that information to good use.

Dear Li Yong，
I arrived in London the day before yesterday. In the past five years，I've learned a lot in China .I know China is a great country with a long history. There are many differences in geography，living conditions and customs between southern China and northern China. I learned more about famous Chinese historical people and historic events. I am interested in Chinese festivals like the Spring Festival，Mid-Autumn Day and Dragon Boat Festival. My favorite Chinese TV shows are Chinese Culture and Around China. Zhang Daqian is my favorite painter and Mo Yan is my favorite writer. They are both well-known stars.
When we studied at school, you and other classmates helped me a lot. I am thankful to you all. I hope our friendship will last forever.
Yours,
