三、閱讀理解(30分,每題2分)
閱讀下面的三篇短文,根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容從ABCD四個選項中選出最佳選項。
Passage1
African cities are forecast to urbanize (城市化) at a rate of 3.65% annually, adding nearly 350 million new city-dwellers by 2030, according to The Brookings Institution. A billion more people are expected to be living in African cities by 2063.
Population growth is the engine of urbanization for the continent. Most of the expansion in urban populations comes from natural growth not rural-to-urban migration. Already, big citieslike Lagos and Kinshasa are growing rapidly — and with that growth comes manychallenges.
Most of Africa's worst problems are mostobvious in its cities, the huge numbers of people, the unemployed everywhere,the endless traffic jams, the bad road networks, the absence of meaningful infrastructure(基礎設施)— it goes on.
Yet,(66)there are three recurring difficulties with Africa's rapid urbanization, according to a World Bank reportout this mouth.First, the cities are crowded. That might seem obvious to a visitor. Bothcommercial and industrial and housing infrastructure investment has been unableto keep up with the rise in urban population.Then there's the poor transport network ofthese cities. Residents are unable to easily move from one part of the city to another due to unreliable and inefficient transport networks made up ofminibuses, matatus which travel across these cities.Finally, it's expensive to live, invest, or run a business in an African city. (67) The World Bank says African citiesare 29% more expensive than cities in countries at similar income levels. Families in African cities have to spend 55% more on housing than other regions. The high transport, housing, and food costs make labor more expensive.
- Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
- Difficulties in Africa's Urbanization
- Population Growth in Africa
- Transportation in Africa.
- Business in Africa.
- The main reason for the growth of Africa's population is that____
- more people move fromcountryside to the city.
- more people give birth tomore children.
- more people come fromother countries.
- more people come to Africato run a business.
- According to the passage, which one is the most common transport system in Africancities?
- Bikes B.Cars C. Trains D. Minibuses
- The word matatus in Paragraph 5 probably means_____.
- a kind of infrastructure
- a kind of vehicle
- a kind of network
- a kind of food
- According to the passage, which of the flowing statements about transport in African cities is TRUE?
- It is easy to move fromone part of the city to the other.
- The transport networks are reliable and efficient.
- Families in African cities pay less on housing than other regions.
- The rise in urban population needs more infrastructures.
Passage2
(68) As many people hit middle age, they often start to notice that their memory and mental clarity are not what they used to be. We suddenly can't remember where we put the keys just a moment ago, or an old acquaintance's name, or the name of an old band we used to love. As the brain fades, we sometimes refer to these occurrences as "senior moments", while seemingly innocent, this loss of mental focus can potentially have a harmful impact on our professional, social, and personal well-being.
It happens to most of us, but is it inevitable? Neuroscientists(神經(jīng)學家)are increasingly showing that there's actually a lot that can be done. It turns that the brain needs exercise in much the same way our muscles do, and the right mental workouts can significantly improve our basic cognitive(認知)functions. Thinking is essentially a process of making neural connections in the brain. To a certain extent, our ability to excel in making the neural connections that drive intelligence is inherited. However, because these connections are made through effort and practice, scientists believe that intelligence can expand and is unstable according to mental effort.
Now, a new San Francisco Web-based company has taken it a step further and developed the first "brain training program" designed to actually help people improve and regain their mental sharpness. Called Lumosity, it was designed by some of the leading experts in neuroscience and cognitive psychology from Stanford University.
Lumosity is far more than an online place to exercise your mental skills. That's because they have integrated these exercises into a web-based program that allows you to systematically improve your memory and attention skills. The program keeps track of your progress and provides detailed feed back on your performance and improvement. Most importantly, it constantly modifies and enhances the games you play to build on the strengths you are developing — much as an effective exercise routine requires you to increase resistance and vary your muscle use.
- What is the main idea of the passage?
- "Senior moments" are innocent.
- "Senior moments" are harmful.
- Brain training is helpful.
- Brain training is useless.
- From the first sentence, we can learn that middle-aged people____.
- have a better memory than before
- are smarter than before
- have a weaker memory than before
- have better mental clarity than before.
- Lumosity is designed by____
- scientists in a company
- professors in a university
- trainers in a club
- experts in a factory.
- What can improve our basic cognitive functions?
- More muscles exercises
- More brain exercises
- More "senior moments"
- More professional skills
- Which of the flowing is TRUE about the "brain training program"?
- It is web-based
- It is just for fun
- It is a muscle exercise
- It enhances all strengthsof the brain
Passage3
A question that often troubles food companies is how to control problems like rats and insects without harming the food. Pest control experts say poisons should never be used where they may enter food. They say the first line of defense against pests is to clean the places where food is handled or stored.
Floors, food preparation surfaces and tools can be disinfected with chemicals like chlorine(氯), iodine(碘)or bromine(溴). Food containers should be stored about half a meter off the ground and about a half meter away from any walls. Storage areas should be kept dry and clean.
Containers for raw materials such as rice, wheat, etc. should be kept closed and clean. (69) Any food stuff spilt during delivery or handling should be cleared up both inside and outside the building. Pests enter a building from outside, so pay attention to outer walls. Small stones can be used to cover the ground and block the growth of plants and areas of grass should be kept short to deny pests a place to live.
Check that doors and windows are completely closed. Also any hole that might allow pests to enter a building should be filled. Rats can enter through a hole the size of a coin. A mouse can pass through a hole half that size.
Supervisors should make a list of pest control measures to be taken by employees. This will aid the efforts and also help prepare for any inspections. In most countries, there is a food and drug administration bureau, or some agency with a similar name, which enforces rules nation wide, responsible for rules about the use of pesticides, etc.
(70) However, businesses where food is stored, prepared or sold must also follow state and local health laws. Most of these governmental departments or bureaus have their website with information about food safety policies and other issues. People can easily access the information.
- According to pest control experts ,poisons should never be used where________.
- there are few rats
- food may be contaminated
- children may get hands on them
- there are containers forraw materials
- From the text, we know that things like chlorine, iodine of bromine are all_____.
- food B. fruits C. chemicals D. food containers
- Outer walls are built _____
- to block the growth of plants.
- to prevent animals from going outside
- to protect rice and wheat from rain and wind
- to prevent pests formentering a building from outside
- Why is it necessary for supervisors to make a list of pest control measures?
- to be carried out by employees;
- To follow state and local health laws
- to be put on government aldepartments' websites
- to help control pests and help prepare for any inspection
- One of the responsibilities of a food and drug administration bureau is_____.
- to check doors and windows
- to set up rules about theuse of pesticides
- to prevent plants andgrass from growing tall
- to fill holes from which pests to enter a building
