14、. preventD. stop第四部分:阅读理解(每小题2分,共40分)AThe nuclear leak (核泄漏) at the Fukushima power plant in Japan, which followed the deadly earthquake two weeks ago, has caused an unexpected reaction in China.A sudden panic buying of salt occurred in many areas of ourcountry about a week after the disaster. Salt
15、in these districts was almost bought up overnight. Some sellers wanted to make a fortune by raising the price. The panic buying was caused by two major rumors on the Internet: First, iodized (含碘的) salt can protect against radiation. Second, there might be a fall in sea-salt production following the
16、nuclear pollution of the ocean. Such fears are not new. The same kind of panic happened with vinegar during the SARS outbreak and garlic in the time of the influenza period. How can rumors like this spread in such a large country as China? Chen Fang, a reporter with the China Youth Daily said that m
17、any Internet users say there is a “crisis of trust” in todays China. “Experts dont have enough credibility and people dont trust all government announcements, either.” Chen said. However, Chen added that the rumors should not be exaggerated (夸大). Many salt-buyers didnt care; others simply failed to
18、understand what experts and governments were talking about. They just did as their neighbors and friends did. It was a case of the blind following the blind that was the real reason behind the big increase in the demand for salt. On March 20, the Ministry of Commerce said: “The panic buying of salt
19、has stopped and the market is back to normal.” He also said China has enough salt to satisfy demand. Now everything is back to normal, many want to return the salt they bought. But in the view of the Xinhua Daily Telegraph, “It is true that these people paid extra money to buy the salt, but they cre
20、ated the crisis in the first place and caused the price to rise.” The newspaper continued: “So there is no reason why they should get the money back.” Perhaps consumers should keep the salt to remind themselves that often rumors are without foundation.56. What is the best title of the passage?A. Cri
21、sis of trust B. Leak causes panicC. A funny rumor D. The blind following the blind57. Which is NOT the reason for which many people buy up iodized salt?A. People are too ready to believe rumors.B. People are afraid of a sea-salt shortage.C. People find it a chance to make a fortune.D. People think i
22、t protective to fight against radiation.58. What is the Xinhua Daily Telegraphs attitude towards the salt-buyers?A. They should have only themselves to blame.B. They should be punished for their activity.C. They should trust experts and governments.D. They should return the salt and get the money ba
23、ck.59. What is the tone of the writing?A. Considerate. B. Persuasive. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.BWhen I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which
24、makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.Point 1. The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talkin
25、g to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about? Point 2. The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skip
26、ton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance to her rescue. Point 3. The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are, where they are going
27、, and how their last meeting went. Point 4. The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so nearbut we didnt meet for the first two weeks!” Point 5. The telephone allows us t
28、o reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously (同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldnt know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while theyre space-walking. And, with th
29、e phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access the Internet, the biggest library on Earth. 60.How do you understand Point 1The telephone creates the need to communicate,? People dont communicate without telephone. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone. People communicate
30、 more since telephone has been created. People communicate more because of more traffic. 61.Which of the following best shows peoples attitude towards mobile phones? Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency. Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people. Mobile phones are
31、so important and should be encouraged. Mobile phones are part of peoples life. 62.Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve peoples life? Point 1. b. Point2. c. Point3. d. Point 4. e. Point 5. c, d B. a, e C. a, c D. b, e 63.It is possible to talk to several complete strangers s
32、imultaneously through. A. the TV screen B. a fax machine C. the phone line hooked up to the computer D. a microphone CAdvertising is a highly developed twentieth-century industry. The development of radio, television, cinema, magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with the development of adv
33、ertising. Why is advertising so popular? Is it a waste of money? It has been proved again and again that repeated advertising increases product sales. Since it increases production, the price can be reduced. Therefore advertising, instead of making a product more expensive, makes it cheaper.Advertis
34、ing is now a scientific business. Once managers would say jokingly, “I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted, but I dont know which half.” Now, all parts of an advertising programme are properly measured and researched.What makes a good advertisement? There have been major changes
35、in advertising in the past sixty years. People read advertisements partly for information and partly for pleasure. Todays advertisements often start with a question, or a puzzle, with the purpose of attracting the readers attention. Of course, most advertisements contain information. But this is usu
36、ally contained in a text that is interesting and often funny. Humour is very important. Sometimes advertisements tell a story, or the story may be continued over a number of advertisements. However, there is a danger in this. It is possible that the reader or viewer will remember the advertisement b
37、ut not the name of the product.64.The purpose of advertising is _.to increase product salesto make a product much betterto spend more moneyto reduce the production65.Which of the following can be used in place of the underlined phrase “hand in hand”? A. Here and there. B. Again and again. C. As usua
38、l. D.

39、g?Useless. B. Unnecessary. C. Important. D. Wasteful.D Everybody knows that words can carry messages. People communicate with words. Books, magazines, TV, radio and films all help us to communicate with others. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking
40、 about.Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask a question. You shake your head, and people know you ar
41、e saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”.Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs with arrows on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have
42、you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time?People can communicate in many ways without words.

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked. Paul answered
46、, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish” He hesitated.Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He wished he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in
