第三部分 理解（共20题，每小题2分，共40分）
第一节（共15题，每小题2分，共30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
The new dollar coin honors Thomas Jefferson, the nation’s third president. The nation’s first president, George Washington, was honored with a similar coin in February. A coin honoring second president John Adams appeared in May. And one honoring fourth president James Madison will follow in November.
Congress created the program in the Presidential Dollar Coin Act of 2005. it calls for the secretary of the treasury to design and produce presidential dollar coins honoring each president in the order in which they served. Four coins will be released each year. ks5u
The coins show the president and his years in office on one side. The other side shows the Statue of Liberty.
The presidential coins are the same size and color and have an educational value. They can teach the American public about past presidents.
A study carried out last month found that the public does not really know much about the presidents. Only about thirty percent of Americans could name Thomas Jefferson as the nation’s third president. Ninety-four percent knew that George Washington was the first president. But only seven percent could name the first four presidents in order.
1. How many presidential coins have been released by now according to Para.1 ____.
A. NoneB. Two C. Three D. Four
2. According to the passage, presidential coins ___.
A. are released in the order in which presidents served
B. will be released four coins each year
C. are the same size and color and have an educational value
D. all the above
3. A study showed the following statements EXCEPT _____.
A. only about 30% of Americans could know Thomas Jefferson
B. 94percent knew that George Washington was the first president
C. only seven percent could name the first four presidents in order
D. only about 30% of Americans could name Thomas Jefferson as the nation’s third president
4. The presidential coins aims to ___.
A. teach the American public about past presidents
B. release some new coins for the public

D. show America are rich and developed
B
For centuries, farmers have used windmills to pump water, crush grain and perform other tasks. Today, farmers can earn money with high-powered wind turbines (发电机) that produce electricity. Wind power has become big business, especially in Europe.
In the United States, less than one percent of electricity is produced from wind energy. But production increased one hundred sixty percent between 2000 and 2005. So says Keith Collins, the chief economist at the Department of Agriculture, in a statement he prepared for a Senate committee last month.
An even greater increase is expected between 2005and 2010. Farmers are providing land to turbine owners or, in some cases, owing the equipment themselves.
Mister Collins says one reason for the increase is high prices for natural gas. Another is a federal tax credit (税收抵免) for wind production. The credit is almost two cents per kilowatt hour for the first ten years of production for a project.
The production tax credit for renewable forms of energy was supposed to end this December. But Congress has extended it through 2008
Other reasons for the expansion include improved turbine technology and lower production costs. They also include policies that make it easier for wind power producers to sell their electricity. And they include the growth of markets for “green power” --- energy that does not create pollution.
California is the leading state for wind power. But Mister Collins says production is also growing in Minnesota and other Midwestern states, all the way down to Texas. And he says many states in the West and Midwest have the wind resources to produce much more wind power.
Wind power offers farmers a way to earn money for use of their land or, if they want, to operate their own turbines. Wind is free, of course. Not only that, the land under the turbines can usually be farmed. And farmers may be able to earn extra money by charging visitors to see their wind farm.
But wind farms are not perfect. Keep in mind that there has to be enough wind to earn a profit. Also, the turbines can kill birds. And people sometimes object to the development of wind farms. They consider them ugly and noisy.
5. In ___ wind power is widely used to produce electricity.
A. America B. Midwest C. Europe D. West
6. According to Mister Collins the reasons for the increase of wind using are ____.
A. natural gas is expensive B. the tax is less for wind production
C. wind energy is green energy D. both A and B
7. Which of the following can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph?
A. refuse B. accept C. agree to D. are afraid of
8. From the passage we can conclude that ___.
A. the government in the USA supports the use of wind power
B. California has the most wind resource in the world
C. visitors can watch the wind farm free
D. wind power can bring farmers some trouble
C
Vint Cerf, who helped to build the Internet while working as a researcher in America, said that television was approaching its “iPod moment”
In the same way that people now download their favourite music onto their iPod, he said that viewers would soon be downloading most of favourite programmes onto their computers. “85 percent of all video we watch is pre-recorded, so you can set your system to download it all the time, ” said Mr. Cerf, who is now the vice-president of the Google, the world’s largest search engine.
“You are still going to need live television for certain things --- like news, sporting events and emergencies --- but increasingly it is going to be almost like the iPod, where you download content to look at later.” But some critics, including some internet service providers, have warned that the Internet will collapse under the strain of millions of people downloading programmes at the same time.
Broadband companies claim that the service will cause “traffic jams”, which will cost millions of pounds to sort out.
But Mr. Cerf dismissed the warnings as “scare tactics”, saying that critics had predicted 20 years ago that the net would collapse when people all around the world started to use it.
“In the intervening 30ears it’s increased a million times… We’re far from exhausting the capacity,” he said. “It’s an understandable worry when they see huge amounts of information being moved around online.”
“I want more Internet,” he said. “I want every one of the six billion people on the planet to be able to connect to the Internet.”
9. What can we learn from the passage about TV in future?
A. The TV will be booming. B. The traditional television is to die.
C. We are still going to need live television. D. The Internet will collapse.
10. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?
A. Mr. Cerf wants everyone on the earth to download their favourite music onto their iPod.
B. If people download the programmes the Internet will collapse.
C. Not all Internet service providers are in for TV’s dying.
D. Half of all video we watch is pre-recorded.
11. We know that Mr. Cerf is ___
A. an engineer B. a scientist
C. a critic D. vice-president of the world’s largest search engine
D
One of the more common and destructive mental tendencies I’ve seen is that of focusing on what we want instead of what we have.
We want this or that. If we don’t get what we want, we keep thinking about all that we don’t have and we remain dissatisfied. If we do get what we want, we simply recreate the same thinking in our new circumstances. So, despite getting what we want, we still remain unhappy. Happiness can’t be found when we are yearning (向往，渴望) for new desires.
Luckily, there is a way to be happy. It involves changing the emphasis of our thinking from what we want to what we have. Rather than wishing you were able to take a vacation to Hawaii, think of how much fun you have had close to home. The list of possibilities is endless! Each time you notice yourself falling into the “I wish life were different” trap, back off and start over. Take a breath and remember all that you have to be grateful. When you focus not on what you want, but on what you have, you end up getting more of what you want anyway. If you focus on the good qualities of your spouse (配偶), she’ll be more loving. If you are grateful for your job rather than complaining about it, you’ll do a better job, be more productive, and probably end up getting a raise anyway. If you focus on ways to enjoy yourself around home rather than waiting to enjoy yourself in Hawaii, you’ll end up having more fun. If you ever do get to Hawaii, you’ll be in the habit of enjoying yourself. And, if by some chance you don’t , you have a great life anyway.
Make a note of yourself to start thinking more about what you have than what you want. If you do, your life will start appearing much better than before. For perhaps the first time in your life, you’ll know what it means to feel satisfied.
12. Why did the author say that focusing on what we want is destructive?
A. If we don’t get what we want, we remain dissatisfied.
B. If we do get what we want, we simply recreate the same thinking.
C. If we desire what we want, we would be unhappy.
D. All of the above ks5u
13. How do you understand the underlined expression “I wish life were different” in the second paragraph?
A. Focusing on what you want.
B. Focusing on what you have.
C. Focusing on ways to enjoy yourself around home.
D. Focusing on being able to take a vacation.
14. The passage implies that ______.
A. getting what we want, we would be happy.
B. if we focus on what we have, we would have a better life
C. it is more fun than you have had close to home
D. focusing on what you want, you end up getting more of what you have anyway
15. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. If we focus on what we want, we may remain dissatisfied and unhappy.
B. Changing our thinking from what we want to what we have would make you happy.
C. Focus on the good qualities of your wife, she’ll be more loving.
D. It is more fun to around home than taking a vacation to Hawaii.

As middle school students, we all have taken examinations of different types and experienced success as well as failure. Different students have different attitudes towards failure in the exams.
Some of us become low in spirits in the face of failure. Worse still, some students are so disappointed that they don’t want to make further efforts in their studies. As a result, their studies go from bad to worse as time goes on.
Fortunately, some students take quite positive attitudes towards their setbacks. They spare no efforts in analyzing the cause of their failure and at the same time encourage themselves to become more confident so that they won’t repeat their mistakes in their later examinations.
