第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
On Sunday, March 11, most Americans will set their clocks forward an hour, as daylight saving time (sometimes wrongly called daylight savings time) begins and most of the United States can enjoy an extra hour of daylight. The spring and fall clock changes continue a long tradition started by Benjamin Franklin to conserve energy.
Benjamin Franklin lakes the honor (or the blame, depending on your view of the lime changes) for coming up with the idea to reset clocks in the summer months as a way to conserve energy. By moving clocks forward, people could take advantage of the extra evening daylight rather than wasting energy on lighting. At the time, Franklin was ambassador to Paris and so wrote a letter to the Journal of Paris in 1784, rejoicing over his “discovery” that the sun provides light as soon as it rises.
Even so, DST (Daylight Saving Time) didn’t officially begin until more than a century later. Germany established DST in May 1916 as a way to conserve fuel during World War I. The rest of Europe came onboard shortly thereafter. And in 1918, the United States adopted DST.
Though President Woodrow Wilson wanted to keep daylight saving time after WWI ended, the country was mostly rural at the time and farmers objected, partly because it would mean they lost an hour of morning light. And so daylight saving time was abolished until at the start of WWII, on Feb. 9, 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt re-established daylight saving time year- round, calling it “War Time.”
After the war, a free-for-all system in which U.S. states and towns were given the choice of whether or not to observe DST led to disorder. And in 1966, to avoid such “Wild West” confusion, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act. That federal law meant that any state observing DST — and they didn’t have to jump on the DST system — had to follow a uniform timing system throughout the state in which daylight saving time would begin on the first Sunday of April and end on the last Sunday of October.
Then, in 2007, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 went into effect, expanding the length of daylight saving lime to the present timing.
1、What is the passage mainly about?
A．What is Daylight Saving Time?
B．How did Daylight Saving Time start?
C．Who proposed Daylight Saving Time?
D．Why Daylight Saving Time is adopted?
2、It can be inferred that .
A．DST was adopted in the US mainly to preserve fuel
B．DST lasted for 24 years in the US before being canceled
C．it is still free for the states in the US to adopt the DST or not
D．farmers in the US rejected DST for losing an hour of evening light
3、What is the meaning of the underlined expression “rejoicing over” in paragraph 2?
A．Taking pride in. B．Taking interest in.
C．Feeling regret for. D．Feeling surprised about.
4、Which country adopted DST earliest, according to the passage?
A．France. B．Germany.
C．England. D．The United States.

B
“Facts” That Are False

The $100 bill is the biggest bill in circulation. Although the federal government stopped printing them in 1945, currency notes of $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 are still legal tender. Most of them have been snatched up by private collectors. Between December 18, 1934, and January 9,1935, the government put out $100,000 notes. However, they were only for transactions between Federal Reserve banks and never went out to the general public.

The Sahara is the world’s largest desert. Technically, Antarctica is. The U.S. Geological Survey defines a desert as “dry land with a rainfall of usually less than ten inches per year that supports only sparse vegetation and a limited population of people and animals.” Antarctica averages only six inches of rain a year (mostly as snow) and is almost 5.5 million square miles. The Sahara is only 3.3 million square miles.

The green paste served with your sushi is wasabi. Wasabi is expensive and difficult to grow. Since it’s in the same family, most restaurants and food companies use horseradish (with food coloring) instead. Real wasabi is more complex and sweeter than what you get in a typical Japanese restaurant.

_______________________________________ The ostriches would suffocate (窒息) if they did. If an enemy is approaching, a frightened ostrich will lay its head and neck flat against the ground as a camouflage (伪装) ploy. Some human onlookers have assumed that the birds’ light-colored heads were actually in the sand.
258、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．As other bigger bills are out of print, the $100 bill is still the biggest one.
B．Antarctica with very little rainfall is considered as the largest desert.
C．Horseradish can be substituted with wasabi for the similar taste and color.
D．An ostrich often uses its head as a weapon to fight against its enemy.
1、Which of the following is the best fit for the blank?
A．Ostriches can breathe in the sand.
B．Ostriches have very smart brains.
C．Ostriches bury their heads in the sand.
D．The ostrich’s head is the lightest in the world.
