三、阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每一小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
Since the Internet has come into homes, the daily life has never been the same again. But the
thing that worries most of us is that we can get viruses from the Internet. But can we catch viruses
on our cell phones? A new study in the journal Science says yes, but the spread of such mobile
software that can bring harm to our cell phones won’t reach dangerous levels until more cell
phones are on the same operating system.
Computers are easily attacked by viruses because they share data, especially over the Internet.
Of course, nowadays, more people are using their cell phones more and more frequently. They
use them for emailing, text messaging and downloading troublesome ring tones, etc. so it is
obvious that cell phone viruses are a threat, as well.
Scientists used nameless call data from more than six million cell phone users to help model
a possible outbreak. And they concluded that viruses that spread from phone to phone by
Bluetooth are not much concerned, because users have to be in close physical relation for their
phones to “see” one another. However, viruses that spread through multimedia messaging services
can move much faster, because they can come in disguise, such as a cool tune sent by a friend. The
good news is that to be effective, these viruses need their victims to all use the same operating
system, which not enough of us do. Because there is no Microsoft operating system for mobile
phones, yet. Thank goodness.
36. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The operating system of cell phones.
B. The threat of cell phone viruses.
C. The wide use of cell phones.
D. Computer viruses.
37. When ______, cell phone viruses can be dangerous.
A. all the cell phones work on the same operating system
B. Microsoft operating system for cell phones is created
C. users can see each other on the phone
D. Bluetooth is widely used
38. What can we infer about Bluetooth according to the scientists?
A. It can increase the chances of cell phone viruses greatly.
B. It can help us to stop the spreading of cell phone viruses.
C. It won’t possibly cause the outbreak of cell phone viruses.
D. It can make users have close physical relation with one another.
39. We can learn from the passage that _______.
A. it is impossible to catch viruses on our cell phones
B. cell phones are not well connected with the Internet
C. it is dangerous for people to download ring tones to cell phones
D. more than one operating system is available for cell phone users now

1. A。句意:事实上,虽然我们都有着成功的欲望,但是有时候我们的行动却并不与我们想

特别的”,不符合题意。

36. B。主旨大意题。概括全文可知, 文章主要探讨的是手机病毒会不会爆发的问题, 所以其
关键词为 viruses 和 cell phones。

毒爆发的条件。
38. C。推理判断题。由文章最后一段第二句可知, 病毒通过蓝牙在手机间传播是不太可能的,
故推断蓝牙技术不会导致病毒爆发。
39. D。推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后和文章末尾的信息可推断出: 手机不像电脑一样,
都使用一个操作系统, 这是万幸的。因此推测现在手机操作系统不止一个。

1. found。考查时态语态。“invited”用一般过去时。由 Suddenly 可知,found 与其时间一致,
用 found;

reasonable。
5. who。考查定语从句关系代词。从句不完整,指代前面“guests”,指人,用 who。
6. at。考查固定介词短语与 price 搭配,表示“以更低价格”用 at a lower price,故用 at。
7. for。考查介词短语搭配。表示“对某事表示尊重”,用 show respect for sth.。故用 for。
8. possibly。考查词性转化。提示词修饰动词“destroy”,用副词,故用 possibly。
9. a。考查冠词。amount 为单数可数名词,用 a,构成短语 a(an)… amount of ……数量的。
10. thinking。考查非谓语做伴随状语。居中有 added 做谓语,与此同时做着什么事情,故用
thinking。
(2)
1. where。空格后为一个定语从句,用以修饰名词 room;由于先行词在从句中表地点,用
where 来引导定语从句。
2. held。根据上下文可知,此句应用一般过去时。
3. than。根据其前的 longer 可知。
4. that。此处的 that 与前面的 so 构成 so…that…句式。
5. heaven。根据第一句 A man spoke with the Lord about heaven and hell 可知,前面看过了 hell,
所以现在要去看 heaven。
6. to。similar to 为英语惯用搭配,意为“与……相似”。
7. But。前后意思转折,位于句首用 But,注意如用 However,后面多加逗号。
8. Why。询问原因,故用 why。
9. same。根据上下文可知,此处填 same,与前面出现的 similar 呼应。
10. other。与 each 构成搭配,feed each other 意为“彼此喂食”。

Ladies and gentlemen,
I’m Li Hua. Today, I’m honored to share with you the result of the survey in our school.
Chart 1 shows us the diversity of the student body in our school. Of the total, the local
students make up ninety-one percent, while eight percent are the children of migrant workers, and
one percent foreign students.
From Chart 2, we can see the students’ choices after graduation. There are about two thirds of
them who intend to go to university. One quarter choose to enter vocational colleges, ten percent
plan to go abroad for further studies, and the rest, five percent, would like to go directly into
employment.
That’s all. Thank you.
