第四部分：阅读理解（每题2分，共40分）

31-45 小题：阅读下列短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选择一个正确答案，并在答题纸上写出所选的字母符号。 短文理解1

Thousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano broke out. The hot liquid piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.

As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.

Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little creatures there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the minerals of the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider spun its web in vain, because there were no insects for its web to catch. Insects couldn’t stay until there were plants fro them to eat. So plants had to be the pioneer life on this new island.

31. The passage centers on ____D_______. A. how an undersea volcano broke out B. how an island rose up in the sea C. how soil was formed on a new island D. how life began on a volcano-produced island

B. the sand brought by the wind C. its own rock D. cool rains

33. The word “naked” (in para.3) could be replaced by which of the following?__D______ A. hidden B. new C. mysterious D. bare

34. The order of coming into being on the island is __D_______. A. soil, plants and animals B. soil, little creatures and plants C. soil, birds and plants

D. soil, human beings and animals

35. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?___D______ A. Spiders were the first life that could live on the island. B. The island is far away from any piece of land. C. Insects could not live on the island without plants. D. Plants were brought to the island by human being.

In the last 500 years, nothing about people—not their clothes, ideas, or languages – has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today. The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine” of 1845-6, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America.
