IV.阅读理解（本大题共25小题， 每小题2分，共50分）
阅读下列短文，每篇文章后面有五个小题，请从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 未选、错选或多选均不得分。

Passage One
Barbara’s daughters were three and five years old when their pet dog died. The dog Sammy lived to be twelve years old. The girls had never known life without Sammy. He had been in the childless family before they were born. He welcomed them with dog kisses. They played with him every day. So when Sammy died, the children missed him every day. They kept asking questions about why he left and why he was no longer with them.
Barbara looked for a book that would help her daughters deal with their deep sadness, but unable to find one. Yes, there were books about dealing with the death of a pet. But she could not find one that dealt with death honestly at a child’s level. She started writing a book herself.
For six years Barbara worked on her book. She read her words to people. They cried and they loved the book. But publishing companies did not want to publish her book. They felt it was too sad, too real, and people would not buy it. At least one company accepted the book. Sammy in the Sky is reprinted for the third time. Tens of thousands of copies have been sold. People read the book to their children when their dogs die. People buy it in memory of their dogs. It helps children ― and even adults ― deal with the loss of a pet or even a person whom they love.

Passage Two
Rodger, a professor, is using the power of storytelling to attract young students into programming(编程). An animation(动画) program called “Alice” allows students to create their own worlds without realizing they’re actually programming and learning knowledge in computer science.
At Alice summer school for high school students, boys and girls were creating little stories with Alice. They liked Alice so much and were always asking for more time to work on their own worlds. After five or six hours of Alice each day, people still had difficulty getting them to stop.
Alice changes ideas about what computer science is as students solve problems by creating a world and inventing situations themselves. It’s a very easy way to learn programming.
Early computer games also attract a number of students to computer science, but those are usually boys. There are a lot of shooting games which most girls don’t like. While boys want to use scientific objects, cars and lots of fire, girls want to use animals and people to tell a story. Alice can handle both interests. Alice’s interactive(互动式) computer games attract boys and the storytelling attracts girls. This explains why Alice summer schools were 50 percent male and 50 percent female.
56. In this passage, Alice is a __________.
A. female professor B. girl in the wonderland
C. computer degree D. teaching program
57. Children like Alice so much because __________.
A. they know it is an easy way of learning
B. they want to learn programming and computer science
C. there is so much fun that they have no idea they are learning
D. five or six hours will pass and they don’t have to go to school
58. Which of the following computer games might attract girls?
A. shooting games. B. Fighting games.
C. Car-racing games. D. Storytelling games.
59. Early computer games can’t attract many girls because_________.
A. they are designed for boys only
B. they tell too many scientific stories
C. they are not the kind of games girls like
D. they use animals and people
60. What do we know about Alice in the passage?
A. Both boys and girls are interested in it.
B. More girls and boys are interested in it.
C. More boys than girls are interested in it.
D. Neither boys nor girls are interested in it.

Passage Three
This is a story about one kind of sea mammal(哺乳动物), big business, fishing boats, sandwiches and kids.
Fishermen catch big tuna(金枪鱼) for the canning companies. They used to set out their nets when they saw dolphins(海豚), which often swim with tuna.
When tuna swam into the nets, dolphins were also caught. They could not escape to the surface to breathe air. Before fishermen could pull in the nets, the dolphins had drowned.
People interested in dolphins protested at this practice. They asked everyone to persuade the big tuna-canning companies to stop the killing.
Many kids sent letters to the companies that buy tuna from fishermen. Their message was clear —protect dolphins, or the cans of tuna will stay on supermarket shelves!
The result? Tuna companies saw that their profits would become less if kids and their families stopped buying tuna. They worked out ways that, with extra time and effort, let fishermen catch tuna but not dolphins.
Now it costs a little more for a tuna sandwich. But most kids agree it’s worth it to share the world with dolphins!

61. The kind of sea mammal in Paragraph 1 refers to a __________.
A. fish B. dolphin C. whale D. tuna
62. The fishermen used to catch_________.
A. tuna B. dolphins C. whales and tuna D. dolphins and tuna

A. The canning companies sold dolphins.
B. Dolphins can breathe in water.
C. The fishermen wanted to catch tuna only.
D. A tuna sandwich costs less than before.
65. Tuna canning companies did not want their profits to ________________.
A. go up B. go down C. stay at the same level D. increase at a great speed

Passage Four
Colleges in Washington are trying to help protect the environment on campus. Campus restaurants are serving locally grown foods, green fruits and vegetables. Pacific Lutheran University’s new classroom building received a gold medal from the government earlier this year. Its building materials include bamboo flooring (竹木地板), recycled (使用回收材料制成的) carpet and so on.
Universities are paying more for renewable energy produced by dams(水坝) and wind farms. Western Washington University and The Evergreen State College were among the first in the state to go 100 percent green. Many universities recycle paper, glass and plastic. They’re also encouraging students to donate(捐赠) unwanted items instead of throwing them away. The UW collected more than 20,000 pound of clothes, books, cell phones and other reusable material from students when they moved out of the dorms at the end of the school year. The items were given to community organizations.
