三、阅读理解（本题有8小题，每小题2分，共16分）
Ａ
From early times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together to collect and save the world’s art treasures.
Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louver (罗浮宫) in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. The Louver has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort (要塞) with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat (护城河) to keep out the enemies.
Over the years, the number of buildings around the fort grew. By 1350, the fort was no longer needed and became a palace for French kings and queens.
During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During times of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.
When Francis I became King of France in 1515, he brought in artists from many countries. One of them was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy, whose Ｍｏｎａ Ｌｉｓａ is one of the best-known paintings in the museum today.
In 1793, the Louver became a public museum just as it is now. It is a place where art treasures have been saved for everyone to enjoy.
41. The passage is about .
A. the world-famous painting Ｍｏｎａ Ｌｉｓａ
B. a king of France by the name of Francis I
C. a grand art museum in the capital of France
D. an artist named Leonardo da Vinci
42. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. People have often worked together to collect the world’s art treasures.
B. At the beginning, the Louver was made up of a group of buildings.
C. Many new treasures were brought in during times of peace.
D. The Louver became a public museum in the nineties of the eighteenth century.
43. It seems to be necessary for great art works to be kept in public museums because .
A. only in this way will they not be stolen
B. it gives everyone a chance to enjoy them
C. it helps people to remember the life of French kings and queens
D. it tells people what meaningful work the French kings did in the past
44 Though the story does not say so, it makes you think that .
A. lots of people pay visits to the Louver
B. Leonardo da Vinci was once the keeper of the museum
C. the Louver was only open to the artists from other countries
D. the Louver became a public museum not long ago
B
I sent my first e-mail message when I was 17. I discovered Google 5 years later. From then on, I have used the Internet all the time.
But when I was a kid, I never imagined that I would one day send messages using a computer that fitted in my backpack. Your experience is probably very different.
Nearly 90 percent of 12-to-17-year-olds in the United States use the Internet, according to one recent survey, and about half of these kids use it every day. They visit chatting rooms and send e-mails. They post profiles on My Space and go to websites to get information for homework. “Kids are now living in a virtual world,” says psychologist Patricia Greenfield. She’s the director of the Children’s Digital Media Center at the University of California, Los Angeles. As digital technology dominates the lives of young people more and more, scientists have begun to wonder: Is the Internet good or bad for kids?
“It’s impossible to answer that question because the Internet has so many things,” says Justine Cassell, a media expert at Northwestern University. “It’s networked computer games and news about politics and instant messaging and e-mails to your grandmother.”
To add to the uncertainty, more and more studies show that the online world can be helpful in some ways and dangerous in others. It can be both an educational resource, for example, and a hiding place for kidnappers.
“The bottom line is that the Internet is a very powerful tool that can be used equally for the good or the bad,” says Greenfield.
45. From the passage, we know that the author discovered Google when he was _____ years old.
A. 17 B. 5 C. 22 D. 12
46. The underlined word “virtual” means “________”.
A. real B. unreal C. interesting D. colorful
47. In America, about ______ of 12-to-17-year-olds use the Internet every day.
A. 90℅ B. 45℅ C. 50℅ D. 40℅
48. Scientists think that ________.
A. the Internet is quite good to all the people
B. the Internet is bad to all the people
C. it’s not easy to say the Internet is bad or good
D. it’s easy to stop people from using the Internet

四.任务型读写(每空1分,共10分)
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。(注意：每个空格只填一个单词。)

If we agree that the function of education is to prepare us for life, then there is very little time to waste. So, while we can, we ought to concentrate on teaching children something really useful. Here is what our schools should teach.
Politeness is a mark of civilization. The sooner children learn this, the better. In any case, a lot can be accomplished by a smile and good manners.
Like it or not, our adult lives will be consumed by the struggle for money, but we don’t make an effort to teach children how to manage it. So our schools have a duty to teach them this ability from the beginning.
We’re likely to accept something we are told, but that’s not what educated people do. Educated people are reasonable and they look at facts. If our schools teach nothing else, they should at least teach critical(批判性的)thinking.
Children should learn to take care of their health. They should know that if they eat junk food(垃圾食品)，they will become fat and unhealthy. They should be very clear about what happens to their bodies when they drink or smoke.
All of us are part of society. We have rights and responsibilities. We ought to understand what they are. We have to know a little bit of our history and geography, because we need to have an environment in which to relate to the people around us.
How will we test students on these? We can’t. But that’s not a reason to avoid teaching what is important. Our schools should spend every moment they have telling this to our children：“This is life, this is what you are going to face, and this is how you deal with it.”
