第三部分 阅读（共两节, 满分40分）
第一节 阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分）
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D选项中， 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Londoners are great readers。 They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books -—— especially paperbacks（平装本）, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper and bound(装订）between hard covers.
There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling。 Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London。 Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny， dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time。 Some of these shops stock（贮存）， or will obtain， any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy, politics or any other of the myriad（无数的）subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet!
Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes， the collector must venture（敢于去） off the beaten track, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London。 Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. Instead， the booksellers come along each morning and pour out their sacks of books onto small barrows（流动集售货车） which line the gutters（贫民窟）。 And the collectors, some professionals and some amateurs（业余爱好者）， have been waiting for them. In places like this one can still， occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.
66. “Londoners are great readers” means that _________。
A. Londoners are great because they read a lot.
B. There are a great number of readers in London

67. Charring Cross Road ________。
A. is in the suburbs of London
B. is famous for its bookshops
C. contains various kinds of shops
D. is the busiest street in London
68。 If you want to buy really cheap second-hand books, you must ________。
A. venture in a most busy street
B. venture away from a busy street
C. take the risk of going to the beaten track
D. take the risk of wasting time to hunt them in less noticeable streets
69. The book sellers on Farringdon Road _________。
A. keep fine bookshops
B. keep only small bookshops
C. sell books on hand-carts
D. sell the same books as the bookshops on Charring Cross Road

“A rolling stone gathers no moss （苔藓)," but there is one living animal that does gather moss — the three-toed sloth（树懒） of South America. This slowest-moving member of the animal kingdom is so inactive that moss actually gathers on its body and turns it green — strange as it seems！
Most of the sloth’s life is spent motionless, hanging upside down from a limb（大树枝）。 And that is the way its hair grows. Long and coarse， the strands from receptacles for the damp jungle algae（藻类)turn the brown fur a mossy green. Actually this moss helps the animal survive because it serves as a perfect camouflage against the leafy trees and hides the sloth from the jungle’s swift—moving hunters。 The sloth would have little chance of survival on the ground. With long, curved claws hooded over the limb of a leafy tree, it spends the long hot hours during the day drowsing and eating. Inch by inch, it strips the leafy limbs bare and crawls slowly down the trunk o find a new dining spot, but only at night。
In addition to looking rather like a vegetable, the sloth is a strict vegetarian. Running out of its favorite leaf is about the only thing that will make a sloth move。 Then its appetite（食欲）may even force the animal into swimming a stream to reach a succulent(肉质植物）。 It will also force it into fighting to keep the tree all to itself。 The sloth is lazy and prefers to be alone, but it will tolerate its own relatives!
76。 A suitable title for this passage might be ____。
A。 Wild Animals B。 Animal Kingdom C. Moss Growth D。 The Lazy Animal

A. to help children to gain a better understanding of animal life
B. to prove that the saying “a rolling stone gathers no moss" is wrong

D。 to discuss with professionals the laziness of some animals

A。 The sloth does not eat any meat。
B. For most of its time, the sloth remains motionless on the ground。
C. To some degree, the sloth is protected by the moss growing on its body。
D。 The sloth has a brown fur of its own。
