第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下面短文，从每题给出的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Ａ

"Shark on the bait （诱饵） !" shouted Andre Harman, pointing to a spot a few yards behind the outboard motors． His voice gave no indication of panic, but the crew suddenly became tense and fixed their eyes on the water． Slowly, smoothly, Andre drew in the bait．The shark followed． No one asked what kind of shark it was． Everything about it, from its color to its shape, tells that it was a great white shark．

Andre lifted the bait aboard． Placing himself between the two motors, he dropped his right hand into the water just as the great head reached the first motor．“My goodness Andre!” I said． His hand seized the big nose, moving it away from the tube of the motor, guiding the shark's head up as it rose out of the water． Andre's hand held the nose, touching it gently． No one spoke． No one breathed． The moment seemed endless． In fact, it lasted less than five seconds before Andre pulled his hand back．

Still nobody spoke． Then Andre smiled and said: "The first time was an accident． I was just trying to move the shark away from the motor． Sharks are attracted to motors by r．heir electrical signals and have a habit of biting them to see if they are eatable． " Andre has worked with great white sharks for years． "My hand landed on its nose, and it sort of paused, so I kept it there, and when I did let go, the shark bit and bit as if it was searching for whatever it was that had attracted it．"

Nearly every encounter （遭遇） we had had with the great whites had been totally illogical． The more we learned, the more we realized how little was really known about them in the past years． Back then, it was generally accepted that great whites ate people by choice． Now we know that almost every attack on a human is an accident in which the shark mistakes a human for its normal food． Back then, we thought that once a great white smelt blood, it would lead to death． Now we know that nearly three-quarters of bite victims survive, perhaps because the shark recognizes that is has made a mistake and doesn't return for a second bite．

２１．The author said, "My goodness! Andre ! " when ．

A．Andre was about to fall into the water

B．Andre was about to touch the shark

C．Andre was followed by the shark

D．Andre was bitten by the shark

２２．What does the author think of the encounters with great whites

A． Exciting． B．Educational． C． Frightening D． Reasonable

２３． Most bite victims survive in shark attacks because

A．they are taught how to fight off sharks

B．sharks discover they are no threats

C．they manage to swim to safety

D．sharks stop attacking them

Ｂ

The latest fashion in kitchen is the food steamer． All the stores are selling them; everyone wants one． Steaming is one of the simplest and healthiest ways of cooking food．However, that cooking time is usually longer than with other methods． In case you’re thinking of buying a steamer, I've done a survey about the steamers available on the market to help you decide which will suit you best．

●Folding Steamer

The simplest and least expensive is the folding stainless-steel （不锈钢）version．

Advantages: This is a good, basic design which sits inside a variety of different shapes of pans with the water under it; a ring in the center allows for easy lifting and it's easy to clean．

Disadvantages: It only holds small dishes． Also, if you put too much water in the pan, it will boil up through the vegetables and they will be watery． If you put too little water in and let it get dry, you will burn the pan and get strange-smelling vegetables．

●Steaming Pan

This is a three-layered black Teflon-coated version with a lid and two double-handled steamers, which sits on the oven ring． The brand I bought is called Nutritious Living．

Advantages: This is an excellent steamer, lightweight, easy to clean, and of all the steamers I've tried, this cooks the fastest． Fish and chicken can be cooked on the bottom with rice or vegetables on the top． It's easier to store．

Disadvantages: Water can boil away until the pan is dry, but if you make sure you fill the pan up to the suggested level and do not overcook the food, this should not happen．You cannot see the food cooking from the top． It doesn't supply a dish for cooking rice．

For serious users of steamers, I recommend having one of each version． If you just want to try it, get the folding stainless-steel type．

２４．Why did the author carry out the survey

A．To inform people of different steamers

B．To run an advertisement for steamers

C．To find out a suitable steamer to buy

D．To learn how to cook with steamers

２５．What can we learn about the folding steamer

A．It comes in different kinds of shapes and sizes．

B．It is designed for large families．

C．It is able to clean itself．

D．It is easy to take out．

２６． The Nutritious Liuing steamer ．

A．is more difficult to store

B．provides a dish to cook rice with

C．cooks different foods at the same time

D．cooks fish and chicken faster than vegetables

２７．According to the author, you should ．

A．use steamers to save cooking time

B．buy a steamer with dishes supplied

C．do a survey before choosing a steamer

D．buy a folding steamer if you want to try

Human beings have used tools for a very long time. In some parts of the world you can still find

tools that people used more than two million years ago. They made these tools by hitting one stone

against another. In this way, they broke off pieces from one of the stones. These chips of stone

were usually sharp on one side. People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals,

and also for making other tools out of wood. Human beings needed to use tools because they did

not have sharp teeth like other meat eating animals, such as lions and tigers. Tools helped people

to get food more easily.

Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence. The human brain grew bigger, and human beings began to invent more and more tools and machines. The stone chip was one of the first tools that people used, and perhaps it is the most important. Some scientists say that it was the key to success of mankind.

Since 1960 a new kind of tool has appeared. This is the silicon chip -- a little chip of silicon

crystal. It is smaller than a finger nail, but it can store more than a million "bits" of information. It

is an electronic brain. Every year these chips get cleverer, but their size gets smaller, and their cost gets less. They are used in watches, calculators and intelligent machines that we can use in many ways. In the future we will not need to work with tools in the old way. Machines will do everything for us. They will even talk and play games with us. People will have plenty of spare time. But what will they do with it?

Human beings used stone chips for more than two million years, but human life changed very

little in that time. We have used silicon chips for only a few years, but life is changing faster every

day. What will life be like twenty years from now? What will the world be like two million years

from now?

２８．Ｆｒｏｍ　ｐａｒａｇｒａｐｈ　１，　ｗｅ　ｃａｎ　ｋｎｏｗ

A. why early human beings cut skin from dead animals

B. how early human beings discovered the tools

C. wh
