第三部分 阅读理解（共15小题。每小题2分，满分30分）
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，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
The loveliest house that I’ve ever lived in was one that I lived in with my grandparents when I was a child. The name of the house was Crosslands. And I have some very happy memories of Crosslands.
It was, it seemed, so huge to me as a child. And it had a lovely living room with a piano in it and a lovely sort of hall with lots of carpets and chests and antiques (古董) and so on. And there was a mysterious room. It was the drawing room, and we only used it on Sundays, or Christmas Day or Easter Day, and I used to be amazed about this room because it had the best furniture in it but it was covered up with sheets. It was as if all the furniture was wearing clothes and it seemed to me ridiculous that we couldn’t enjoy this beautiful furniture all the week through. And probably my favorite room was the kitchen. It had a lovely red flagstone (石板) floor, which was always highly polished, and an Aga, you know, one of those big cookers that heats the whole room so it was always warm there. It was a very warm room with baked bread and my grandmother used to make ice cream and we’d eat it in there and... there was a vegetable garden leading from there so I spent a lot of time in the vegetable garden picking peas and eating them—my grandmother used to get really cross with me because I used to pick all the vegetables and the fruit for our meals and then I’d eat half of them, because they tasted so delicious coming fresh from the garden.
I went back to it a few years ago and it was a big mistake. They’ve modernized it inside, they’ve got rid of those lovely old fire-places... have just gone. And they’ve knocked a wall down so the drawing room and the living room have become one big modern plastic kind of room. But I think what upset me most about it was the feeling that the house had shrunk. It had become smaller and my memory of this lovely large warm comfortable house had turned into an old house with modernized rooms inside it. And it taught me a lesson really, that you can’t go back on the past and recapture it. But there’s still a beautiful memory there.

B
Curitiba, Brazil, has been called the most innovative (创新) city in the world. City officials from around the world visit Curitiba to learn how the city, with relatively limited funds, has been solving urban (都市的) problems. By using imaginative, low-cost solutions and low technology, Curitiba has created a pleasant urban life that many cities in the more developed nations have yet to achieve. Here is how the city achieved this.
Transportation
The city has made public transportation attractive, affordable and efficient. Instead of building a subway, which the city could not afford, it established a system of extended, high-speed buses, some carrying as many as 275 passengers, on express routes, connecting the city center with outlying areas. Many people own cars in Curitiba but 85 percent of the commuters(通勤者) use public transportation. This has reduced traffic jams and air pollution. There are 30 percent fewer cars on city streets than you would expect from the number of cars owned by its residents.
Trash Collection
Poor people are encouraged to collect recyclable trash (垃圾) in the areas where they live and turn it in for food. In 1995 the city gave out about 350,000 Easter eggs, 25000 Christmas cakes, and 2 million pounds of food in exchange for trash. About 70 percent of its trash is recycled, one of the highest rates in the world.
Education
Small libraries have been built throughout the city in the shape of a lighthouse. Called Lighthouses of Learning, they provide books (many schools in Brazil have no books), an attractive study room, and in a tower, a strong light and guard to make the area safe.
Health
Curitiba has more health clinics(小诊所) – that are open 24 hours a day – per person than any other city in Brazil.
Environmental Education
The Free University for the Environment was built out of recycled old utility poles next to a lake made from an old quarry （采石场）. Short courses on how to make better use of the environment have been designed for contractors, merchants and housewives. Taxi drivers are required to take a course there in order to get their licences (执照).
Curitiba is still a Third World city, with at least 10% of its 1.6 million people living in slums of corrugated tin-and-wood shanties. And its innovations were made gradually. But the city now stands as a model for urban planners, and mayors from around the world have visited Curitiba to learn from its experiments.
45. What is special about the city of Curitiba?
A. It attracts many tourists to learn from its experiments.
B. It solves urban problems without spending too much money.
C. It has the cheapest subway system in Brazil for commuters.
D. It forces more people to have environmental education.
46. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. most citizens in Curitiba choose buses because they can’t afford a car
B. poor people in Curitiba have the technology to turn trash into food
C. other cities in Brazil are also building lighthouses to encourage reading
D. citizens in Curitiba can go to health clinics at any time they want
47. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A. urban areas B. poor areas C. rich areas D. downtown areas
C
The saying that children don’t like reading any more has been proved untrue. A new study finds that 75 percent of kids between five and seventeen say that although they love technology, they still want to read books.
The Kids & Family Reading Report also says that 62 percent of kids prefer reading printed books rather than those on a computer. At the same time, those who search an author’s website or use the Internet to find books by a particular author, are more likely to read books for fun every day.
The study also once again proves that the time kids spend reading books for fun decreases after the age of eight and continues to drop through the teen years. The report is a follow-up to a 2006 study. But this time the focus is on the role of technology and when kids’ interest in reading starts to drop.
“Despite the fact that after the age of eight more children go online daily than read for fun daily, high frequency Internet users are more likely to read books for fun every day,” says Heather Carter, a writer of the report.
One in four kids between five and seventeen say they read books for fun every day and more than half of kids say they read books for fun at least two to three times a week. One of the key reasons kids say they don’t read more often is that they have trouble finding books they like—a requirement that parents underestimate (低估).
The study also finds that parents have a strong influence on kids’ reading, but only about half of all parents begin reading to their kids before their first birthday. The percent of children who are read to every day drops from 38 percent among five-to eight-year-olds to 23 percent among nine-to 11-year-olds—exactly the same time that kids’ daily reading for fun starts to drop.
“Parents’ engagement (参与) in their child’s reading from birth all the way through the teen years can have a great influence (影响) on how often their children read and how much they enjoy reading,” adds Carter.
48. What can we learn from the text?
A. Children don’t like reading any more after the age of 8.
B. Most children like reading as well as going online.
C. All kids like reading e-books instead of prin
