　　III.Reading comprehension(阅读理解)(共20小题；每小题2分，计40分)
　　Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions according to the passage.(阅读下列短文，然后根据短文后的要求答题。)
A
　　At the summer camp the students all gave speeches or told stories. Many students spoke about protecting the environment, protecting wild animals and preventing pollution. Mostly they said how the government should do something about these problems, but I kept thinking that we should do our part, too. Each of us can protect the environment and wild animals by doing some everyday ordinary things, like putting trash in the proper receptacles(trash cans, trash bins, garbage can) rather than throw it on the ground. We can also avoid getting plastic bags from shops by carrying our own reuseable shopping bag. When we buy something in a shop that we are going to eat or use right away, we don't need a bag, either carry it out of the store or put it in our book bags. Instead of having mom or dad take us to school by car or motorcycle we can walk or use a bicycle-this is good exercise for us and lessens air pollution.
　　Did you know all those plastic bags and plastic bottles are harmful to the environment, especially wild animals? Those plastic bags blowing around the streets and tourist sites get into the trees, grass and rivers. The bags may be eaten by animals such as large fish, the bags may cover the ground preventing plant growth, or the bags may be used by animals to make nests that become too hot or too cold for the young. In addition, all that trash and garbage on the side of the streets and roads attract insects that carry diseases besides making the environment ugly. What's more, food plants cannot grow well because of the pollution. We can do our part to protect the environment by putting trash where it belongs.
　　Questions 56-57: Choose the answer that fits each question best according to the passage.
　　56.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
　　A.Large animals may eat plastic bags.
　　B.Not only the government but also each of us should protect the environment.
　　C.Plastic bags make good material for birds' nests.
　　D.Walking to school is a good way to reduce air pollution.
　　57.What is a good title for this passage?
　　A.Plastic bags are bad for the environment
　　B.What the government should do to protect wild animals
　　C.Put trash where it belongs
　　D.Doing our part to protect the environment
　　Questions 58-60: Complete the passage with no more than three words for each blank, according to the passage above.
　　Plastic bags and trash attract insects which may carry diseases and they can stop (58)____ from growing well. To protect the environment, we should shop with (59)____. What's more, rather than have someone take us to school, we could walk or (60)____ for exercise and reducing air pollution.
B
　　If you use a mobile phone, no doubt you are familiar with Nokia, a famous mobile phone brand. Although many people may know Nokia, few know that it comes from Finland.
　　Finland is perhaps the most beautiful and mysterious country of northern Europe. About three-fourths of its land mass(337,009km2) is covered with thick forest, amongst which are 187,888 lakes larger than 500 square meters. The northern part of the country, called Lapland, is inside the Arctic Circle, where almost no trees or plants grow because of the cold climate. The Sami people who live in this area used to raise reindeer for transportation, food and clothing. The coastal area that borders the gulfs of Bothnia and Finland consists of most of the arable land and cities. Between the coast area and Lapland is a vast forest region. Helsinki is now the capital and largest city. The total population of Finland is only 5,291,517.
　　Finland has been occupied for more than 8,500 years by ancestors of the Finnish people. In the Middle Ages its western neithbor Sweden gained control of the nation (1154-1809) and was later replaced by Russia (1809-1917). In 1917, the Russian Revolution brought foreign rule of Finland to an end. After a short but bitter civil war, Finland became a republic and elected its first president in 1919.
　　Although Finland has no coal or oil, the nation's natural resources lie in wood from its forests which supply raw materials for paper and furniture, and its water resources produce electric power. The era after World War II was a period of economic growth, increasing wealth and stability. The war weary agricultural country was transformed in technologically advanced market economy. Today Nokia mobile phone is a symbol of the high technology of Finland.
