三、理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
The Aericans believe that anybody can becoe President of the United States. In a recent Hollywood coedy, that is exactly what happens.
Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted an who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical Aerican way of life, except for one thing－he looks exactly like the President, Bill itchell. In fact, the only thing that akes hi different fro the nation’s leader is that he is very nice!
The president has started using look-alikes during soe public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by becoing one. However, things go wrong. The President becoes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.
Director Ivan Reitan, who ade the popular and successful coedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by aking fun of the Aerican governent. Instead, Dave is an attractive coedy about an ordinary an in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double perforance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic.
The fil is 100% Aerican. However, if you’ve ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then you’ll enjoy Dave!
46.What is the purpose of the text?
A．To tell the reader about the Aerican governent.
B．To discuss the Aericans’ ideas about the President.
C．To ake a coparison between Dave and other fils.
D．To introduce a new fil to the reader.
47.Who plays the role of the President in the fil?

C．Bill itchellD．Ivan Reitan.
48.The underlined word “one” in the 3rd paragraph refers to __________.

When dinning in restaurants, Aericans usually order drinks first, then soup, salad, ain course or entree(主菜), and dessert at last. This is soewhat a different order way fro that in Europe.
Until about the iddle of the nineteenth century, Aericans didn’t have to worry about whether the salad cae before or after the ain course since they didn’t eat salad at all. Choping(大声地咀嚼) on greens was once considered sissy(女人气的), and Aericans preferred to get their greens indirectly, after they had been processed by rabbits or deer. The shift of public taste toward the salad ay be attributed to New York’s Delonico brothers, who originally introduced sorgasbord fro Europe, and served it in their restaurant. Such novelties(新奇的东西) becae so popular that by the end of the nineteenth century, the Waldorf salad has swept the country.
Europeans still chop on greens after the ain course, as a way of clearing the palate(味觉), and being ready for the cheese. Why Aericans eat their salad first is uncertain. The following joking suggestions ight ake sense: The custo ay be related to the sliing craze, for “salad first” ay fill you up without any worry about fattening; to avoid custoers’ ipatience with waiting, the restaurant serves salad first to keep the busy while the ain courses are being prepared; eating raw food while one is waiting for the cooked food ay be a way of announcing that one is not wasting tie, which is seen as a virtue; probably unfair to the restaurant, this custo has been encouraged by the erchant as trick-the eagerness(不足量) of a eal is less noticeable if it coes after “free” salad-after all, rabbit food is uch cheaper than the rabbit.
50.Before the iddle of the nineteenth century, _________ .
A. Aericans ate the salad before the ain course ww
B. Aericans ate the salad after the ain course
C. Aericans ate the salad either before or after the ain course
D. Aericans didn’t eat salad at all

A. the saladB. food ade of rabbit eat
C. junk food D. food prepared for the rabbit
52.Which of the following stateents is true?
A. Salad first appeared in Aerica, and then was introduce to Europe.
B. The Aerican tradition of eating salad before the ain course was fored ainly due to health.
C. In less than fifty years, salad becae popular throughout the United States.
D. Serving Salad before the entree by the restaurants is a way of cheating the diners.
C
Aerican’s genius with high technology ay have put en on the oon, but there is growing doubt about its ability to solve huan probles closer to hoe.
In fact, a slight but significant change fro purely technological solutions is already under way as scientists insist that answers to the world’s probles will not coe fro an attractive exhibition of electronics and achines. Instead, as they see it, solutions ust develop fro a better understanding of the huans that drive the syste and fro a fuller appreciation of the liits and potential(潜能) of the earth’s resources.
What this eans is an increased ephasis on the life and earth sciences, on sociology, psychology, econoics and even philosophy.
ore and ore of the best inds in science, particularly young researchers, are being drawn into these developing fields.
All this is not to say that technological creativity will not play a critical role in solving energy and food shortages, or that answers to environental difficulties will not coe fro further advances in the sae technologies that ay have helped cause the probles.
Where the real challenge lies, in the view of the new generation of scientists, is in finding ways to produce goods eet the world’s needs, using less of the raw aterials that are becoing short.
53.Which of the following would the author probably agree with?
A. The environent crisis will not be solved unless we stop using virgin(原始) aterials.
B. In scientific research, a higher priority(优先) should be given to understanding all
living systes.
C. Exploration of outer space will finally lead to an iproveent on huan living conditions.
D. U.S. high-technology copanies are welcoing this new change in scientific
research.
54.Which of the following best expresses the ain idea?
A．A growing nuber of Aericans are doubtful about what high technology can do in solving the world’s probles.
B．any scientists are beginning to believe that the better understanding of huan beings will play a ore decisive role in solving the world’s probles.
C．ore and ore young scientists are trying their best to find neays to solve the world’s probles.
D．Technological creativity will still play a very iportant part in solving the world’s probles.

B．ore coplex achines and electronic equipent be designed
C．ways be found to produce better goods using fewer raw aterials

probles

Dear editor of China Daily,
Recently our class held a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of advertiseents.
Daily life needs advertiseents because they can offer inforation on goods, services, culture, eployent and so on. With advertiseents, custoers can save a lot of tie in shopping. Advertiseents also help factories or service providers find their arket. In a word, advertiseents have any advantages.
However, we also find advertiseents a waste of tie when we don' t need the, for exaple, when watching TV progras. To ake things worse, soe advertiseents are isleading and cheating. Furtherore, huge advertising expenses are shared by consuers, which sees to be unfair.

Yours truly,
Li Hua
