第二部分：阅读理解（第一节２０小题，第二节５小题；每小题２分，满分
５０分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（Ａ、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Love Is Just a Thread
Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money to pay the high tuition for us. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. “ I love you” is too luxurious for them to say . Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question. My father is easy to lose his temper, especially when he’s very tired from the hard work.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat beside her and asked her if there was love between them. “ What?” she replied, still doing her work. My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise. She didn’t answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued sewing the quilt. I was in a great embarrassment and I didn’t know what to do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words: “ Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is inside.” I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring.
My father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both seemed as if they had a serious illness. Every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. It seemed they were the most harmonious couple. There were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees, and the sun gently glistened through the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world. When we were worrying about him, he said gently: “ I really like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

D. Love is really existing everywhere and anytime even though we can’t feel it.
44. What made her father change so greatly?
A. The real love.

B
XinJiang: The plane carrying the bodies of three Chinese engineers, who were shot dead in Pakistan on Wednesday, landed at Urumqi airport on Friday.
Investigations are focusing on why no guards escorted the engineers the day when they were attacked. Local police usually accompanied the group during their travels in the country.
Earlier in the day, 10 other Chinese engineers who worked together with the victims returned to Hefei. They were all from Hefei Cement Research & Design Institute, and were in Pakistan to offer technical services for the construction of a cement factory there.
“The guards of the Chinese engineers were not accompanying them when they were attacked,” local police officer Pervez Zahoor said. “Police are investigating as to why the guards did not do so that day.”
Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said in Islamabad on Friday that all the development activities between Pakistan and China would continue and the incident would not affect the friendship between the two countries. He told Xinhua News Agency that the incident had shocked him. “We condemn it in the strongest terms,” he said. “We are annoyed at those who carried out this very evil act. We are determined to catch them and give them the strongest and harshest punishment.”
Families of the victims --- Long Hongbao,32, Wei Jianping,54, and Zhao Bin, 46 --- have spoken of their disaster. “I can’t accept his death , as he called me only days ago to say he would be coming back this Saturday,” Zhao’s wife Shi Weiling said. The father of Long, from Hefei, said, “My son was the pillar of the family , how can this tragedy have happened to him？”
Families of the victims are expected to get at least 400,000 yuan (US$ 49,000) in compensation according to their insurance policies.
46.Which of the following is true according to the news?
A. China will not send engineers to Pakistan until the attackers are found.
B. Luckily the three families will get compensation from the government of Pakistan.
C. In all there are thirteen engineers working in Pakistan now.
D. Maybe the attackers planned this incident
47.Which word can best replace the word “escort” in Paragraph 2?
A. stay with B. work with C. play with D. train with
48.Which the following is the best title for the news?
A. New problem for China and Pakistan.

Spacing in animals
Flight Distance
Any observant people has noticed that a wild animal will allow a man or other potential enemy to approach only up to a given distance before it escapes. “Flight distance” is the terms used for this interspecies spacing. As a general rule, there is a positive relationship between the size of an animal and its flight distance --- the larger the animal, the greater the distance it must keep between itself and the enemy. An antelope will escape when the enemy is as much as five hundred yards away. The wall lizard’s flight distance, on the other hand, is about six feet. Flight is the basic means of survival for mobile creatures.
Critical Distance
Critical distance apparently is present wherever and whenever there is a flight reaction. “Critical distance” includes the narrow zone separating flight distance from attack distance. A lion in a zoo will flee from an approaching man until it meets a barrier that it cannot overcome. If the man continues the approach, he soon penetrates the lion’s critical distance, at which point the cornered lion turns back and begins slowly stalk(逼近) the man.
Social Distance
Social animals need to stay in touch with each other. Loss of contact with the group can be fatal (致命的) for a variety of reasons including exposure to enemies. Social distance is not simply the distance at which an animal will lose contact with his group --- that is, the distance at which it can no longer see, hear, or smell the group --- it is rather a psychological distance, one at which the animal apparently begins to feel anxious when it goes beyond its limits. We can think of it as a hidden band that contains the group.
Social distance varies from species to species. It is quite short --- apparently only a few yards --- among some animals, and quite long among others.
Social distance is not always rigidly (刻板的) fixed but is determined in part by the situation. When the young of apes and humans are mobile but not yet under control of the mother’s voice, social distance may be the length of her reach. This is readily observed among baboons(狒狒) in a zoo. When the baby approaches a certain point, the mother reaches out to seize the end of its tail and pull it back to her. When added control is needed because of danger, social distance shortens. To show this in man, one has only to watch a family with a number of small children holding hands as they cross a busy street.
49. Which of the following is the most suitable explanation to “Flight distance”?
A. Distance between animals of the same species before escaping.
B. Distance between large and small animals before f escaping .
C. Distance between an animal and its enemy before escaping
D. Distance between certain animal species before escaping .
50. If an animal’s critical distance is penetrated, it will ________
A. begin to attack B. try to hide C. begin to jump D. run away
51. According to the passage, social distance refers to ________.
A. distance at which one cannot see the group
B. psychological distance
C. distance at which the mother baboon can seize the baby’s tail
D. distance at which an animal will lose touch with the group
52. The example of the children holding hands when crossing the street in the last paragrap
