III.閱讀理解(共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分)

There are many things we can do in our daily life to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas sent out. Probably the most important is to share what you have learned with your family and friends.

★ Use the family car less. Walk or cycle whenever possible. Take a bus. Try ride sharing.

★ Useless energy in the house by turning down the heat when you are away or sleeping and turning off lights and electrical equipment you aren't using.

★ If your family needs a car, make sure to buy a fuel-efficient one. An average car sends out nearly 60 tons of carbon dioxide during its lifetime, compared to between 22 and 30 tons from a fuel-efficient car.

★ Encourage your family to use the car more efficiently (有效地): for example, check the air in the tires. Under in flatted tires can increase fuel use by 8%. Turn the car off instead of letting it run when it is stopped. Idling uses more gas and sets free carbon dioxide into the air,

★ Reuse, recycle and compost (把…合成肥料 ) your waste. It takes much less energy to reuse or recycle a product than to make a new one. Correctly composting your food and yard waste removes the methane (沼氣) that they would cause at the landfill site. Buying less is al- ways the best.

★ Plant trees. Trees take in carbon dioxide, reduce pollution, provide shade, and look great.

41. Which of the following does the writer suggest that we should not do?

A. Share cars with other people if possible.

B. Make sure our car tires are well inflated.

C. Compost our home waste at the landfill site.

D. Buy less products even if we can afford.

42. A fuel-efficient car gives off__ tons of carbon dioxide during its lifetime less than an average car.

A. 22-30 B. 30-38 C. 60 D. 8-30

43. The purpose of this text is to call on people

A. to control greenhouse gas B. to make full use of energy

C. to plant more trees D. to buy fuel-efficient cars

A "blogger" is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a "blog". The word "blog" is a short way of saying Web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.

There are millions of blogs on the Interact today. They provide news, information and ideas to many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write their ideas and react (反應 ) to the ideas of others.

A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3000 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.

However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.

At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service, weblogs.com. He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago, and thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing.

One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca's Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the Web site in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called "The Weblog Handbook". It has been translated into four languages so far.

Ms Blood says Rebecca's Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything -- politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on-line bank accounts

44. The text is mainly written to __

A. introduce an Internet computer Web site called "blog" B. introduce a short way of saying web log

C. tell readers about blogs D. tell readers how to write blogs

45. From the text we can learn that blogs cover almost everything except __

A. different ideas B. medical advice C. advertisements D. account passwords

46. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?

A. Politicians don't use blogs at all.

B. A lot of bloggers no longer write or read blogs.

C. Those who like to use blogs are mostly teenage girls.

D. Dave Winer closed his "weblogs.com" because of money shortage.

47. The reason why Rebecca's Pocket is still going strong is that

A. it was created by a woman B. it is about the history of blogs

C. it provides useful information and advice D. it has editions in at least four different languages

People's tastes in recreation(消遣)differ widely. At a recent festival of pop music in the Isle of Weight, crowds of teenagers gathered to listen to their favorite singers and musicians. They went with single railway tickets and slept in the open, a very dangerous thing to do in the climate of Britain, even in August. They were packed together like sardines for four days. There were countless thieves, a group of trouble-makers tried several times to break things up, and police were everywhere. At the end of the festival many young fans found themselves broke, and they had difficulty in getting back home. Most people would consider these conditions a bad dream of discomfort: the fans appeared to enjoy it all especially.

Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large areas of open unspoiled country, where people with more traditional tastes can go for quiet, and for the sense of freedom they get from closeness to nature. In the national parks especially, modern development of housing and industry is strictly controlled. Visitors may walk for miles through landscape of the greatest beauty and wildness, and often of considerable historic or scientific interest. Along the coasts of some of the seaside countries, public pathways have been created; these paths stretch for many miles along cliffs that look out on the Atlantic or the English Channel. Another path, lying in- land, goes along the range (排) of mountains in the north of England. It is called the Pennine Way. Here, the long-distance walker and the nature-lover can find much to enjoy, without feeling breathless closed by large numbers of their fellows.

Yet few people make full use of the national parks set up for everyone's benefit. The commonest thing nowadays is for family groups to motor out to a beautiful spot and park their cars in the lay-by (路邊停車處). A picnic basket is produced, along with a folding table and chairs, a kettle and a movable stove. They then settle down to a picnic in the lay-by beside the car. Clearly their idea of enjoyment is to get into the fresh air and among the country sights and sounds without having to walk a yard. They seem almost to like to hear and to smell the traffic.

People love suspension bridges (吊橋 ) for many reasons: their beauty, their utility, their mathematical elegance (優(yōu)雅), their long spans, or even for the local bragging (吹牛的) rights they offer.

Here's a list of four top suspension bridges -- just a sampling of the world's wonderful spans.

Akashi Kaikyo

Location: Kobe-Naruto, Japan

Year: 1998

Main span: 1,991 meters

The longest suspension span on earth (as of 2004) also has the tallest towers. A 1995

earthquake struck while the bridge was under construction, moving the towers apart by almost three feet. Engineers altered the roadway plans to complete the change.

Great Belt East

Location: Halsskov-Sprogoe, Denmark

Year: 1998

Main span: 1,624 meters

Denmark's biggest building project connected the nation's two main islands, Zealand and Funen. The bridge helped cut average travel times across the body of water known as the Great Belt from 90 minutes, via ferry(擺渡), to 10-15 minutes on the bridge.

Humber

Location: Hull, England

Year: 1981

Main span: 1,410 meters

This bridge spans the Humber River in East Yorkshire, near the site of an ancient Roman ferry service that operated around 70 A.D. Construction took longer than expected, but Queen Elizabeth II presided (主持 ) over the opening in July 1981.

Mackinac Straits

Location: Mackinaw City, MI, USA Year: 1957 Main span: 1,158 meters

Residents first proposed a bridge or tunnel connecting Michigan's Upper and Lower Penin-sulas in the 1880s, after year-round ferry service proved impossible in the cold weather. Over seven decades later, engineers made 85,000 blueprints and 4,000 engineering drawings for the bridge called the Mighty Mac.
