三、阅读理解
A
New research shows that Earth will have more than nine thousand million people by two thousand fifty. The world population is at present about six point four thousand million.
The research is from the Population Reference Bureau, a private group based in Washington. It says most growth will take place in developing countries in Africa and western Asia.
India is expected to pass China as the world’s most populated nation. By the middle of the century, the report says, India will have over one and one-half thousand million citizens, an increase of fifty percent.
China has one point three thousand million people at present. The Population Reference Bureau says the population should increase about ten percent by two thousand fifty.
Most developed nations will see a drop in their populations. The only big exception is expected to be the United States. The report says the United States will remain the third biggest nation. The population is close to three hundred million now. It is expected to reach four hundred twenty million. The report says this will be because of immigration（移民）and low death rates among babies.
Between now and two thousand fifty, Niger is expected to be the fastest growing country. The biggest decrease(下降) is expected in Bulgaria.
The study is based on information from governments and the United Nations. Researcher Carl Haub wrote the report. He examined infant(婴儿) death rates, life expectancy, birth rates and the age structure of nations. The study also considered family planning use and, for the first time, rates of AIDS.
Mister Haub says most growth will take place in countries with young populations and traditionally large families. He points to Nigeria and Japan as two nations that are moving in opposite directions in terms of population.
56. The best title for the text is likely to be _____.
A. World Population and the Development of Industry
B. Developed Country and its Population
C. Developing Country and its Population
D. World Population by 2050

58. Most developed nations will see a fall in their populations except the US because _____.
A. the country doesn’t try to control the population growth
B. infant death rates are low
C. people all over the world move there and settle down
D. both B and C
59. How many more people is India likely to have than China by 2050 according to the report?

Half-Truths
Be care of those who use the truth to deceive（欺骗）. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he purposely(故意) omitted important information. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Dishonest candidates(候选人) in political campaigns often use this tactic(策略). Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term(任期), her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might show off, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of dishonesty happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
60. Which statement is true according to the article?
A. Whenever telling the truth, people are really lying.
B. One can get rich in a flash by getting lottery tickets .
C. All governors help their states.
D. The truth can be used in dishonest ways.
61. The underlined word “omitted” in the fourth paragraph probably means _____.
A. spent money B. left out C. told about D. exposed
62. The author clearly wants people to _____.
A. think carefully about what they read and hear
B. learn to tell half-truths
C. trust no one but the best friends
D. vote for female candidates
63. Another suitable title for this selection would be _____.
A. Telling the Truth
B. Everyone Lies
C. Lying With the Truth
D. Trust Nobody
C
Several interesting American museums tell about health subjects. One is the Doctor Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry. It is at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. That is where the first college in the world to train dentists began. The museum tells about the history of the medical treatment of teeth. Visitors can see some frightening devices that once were used to remove infected(受感染的) teeth. They also can see sets of teeth made of animal bone. They were made for a famous American -- the first President, George Washington.
Most people do not consider a visit to the dentist their idea of a good time. However, the director of the museum says he wanted to make the museum a fun place to visit. He says he also wants to teach visitors about the importance of taking care of their teeth.
Another museum collects devices that help people hear. The Kenneth W. Berger Hearing Aid Museum is at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. The museum has more than three-thousand hearing aids from around the world. They include old and strange devices. Some hearing aids were made to look like other objects. That is because in the past many people did not want anyone to know they were wearing a hearing aid.

Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote a very famous story called Tarzan of the Apes.
This story tells about a shipwreck(船只失事) on the West coast of Africa. The passengers on the ship include a certain Lord and Lady Greystoke from England. Lord and Lady Greystoke are the only survivors of the shipwreck.
Lord Greystoke builds a kind of shelter high up in the trees - a treehouse - for his pregnant(有孕的) wife and does his best to make them comfortable in their new jungle home. Lady Greystoke gives birth to a boy. They call the boy John. Unfortunately, she dies and leaves Lord Greystoke to take care of the baby on his own. Lord Greystoke is killed by a huge ape(猿人) that comes to see the strange house in the trees. The baby is left all alone. Fortunately, a female ape, whose baby has recently died, finds the human baby alone in the treehouse. Even though the baby is white and hairless, she feels a mother's love for it and begins to feed and take care of it. She becomes John's mother. John - who later takes the name Tarzan, never having known his real identity(身份) — grows strong and powerful living among the apes. He has the advantage of human intelligence and finally grows up to be leader of the apes and, in the end, lord of the jungle.
The book tells many stories of Tarzan's adventures in the jungles, his fights with savage animals, his encounters with other human beings (many of whom are as dangerous as the animals) and his re-discovery of his true identity.
68. How many people have escaped from the shipwreck on the African coast?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
69. What is the meaning of the underlined word “survivors” in the second paragraph?
A. People who are lucky enough to exist in spite of an accident.
B. People who are unlucky not to exist because of an accident.
C. People who enjoy taking adventures so much as to lose their lives.
D. People who die from a shipwreck because of bad weather.

B. He is a large ape.
C. He is Tarzan.
D. He is brought up by a male ape.
71. The text doesn’t tell us, but we can infer that ____.

B. John’s father is killed by an ape that come across him in his house
C. John has been trying to know his real identity while living with apes
