三、阅读理解（30 分，每题 2 分）

阅读下面的三篇短文，根据文章内容从 A、B、C、D  四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

Passage 1

African cities are forecast to urbanize（城市化）at a rate of 3.65% annually, adding nearly 350 million new city-dwellers by 2030, according to The Brookings Institution. A billion more people are expected to be living in African cities by 2063.

Population growth is the engine of urbanization for the continent. Most of the expansion in urban populations comes from natural growth, not rural-to-urban migration. Already, big cities like Lagos and Kinshasa are growing rapidly – and with that growth comes many challenges.

Most of Africa’s worst problems are most obvious in its cities. The huge numbers of people, the unemployed everywhere, the endless traffic jams, the bad road networks, the absence of meaningful infrastructure（基础设施) – it goes on.

Yet,（ 66 ） there are three recurring difficulties with Africa’s rapid urbanization, according to a World Bank report out this month. First, the cities are crowded. That might seem obvious to a visitor. Both commercial and industrial and housing infrastructure investment has been unable to keep up with the rise in urban population.

Then there’s the poor transport network of these cities. Residents are unable to easily move from one part of the city to another due to unreliable and inefficient transport networks made up of minibuses, matatus which travel across these cities.

Finally, it’s expensive to live, invest, or run a business in an African city. (67) The World Bank says African cities are 29% more expensive than cities in countries at similar income levels. Families in African cities have to spend 55% more on housing than other regions. The high transport, housing, and food costs make labor more expensive.

41.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A.Difficulties in Africa’s Urbanization

B.Population Growth in Africa

C.Transportation in Africa

D.Business in Africa

42.The main reason for the growth of Africa’s population is that .

A.more people move from countryside to the city

B.more people give birth to more children

C.more people come from other countries

D.more people come to Africa to run a business

43.According to the passage, which one is the most common transport system in African cities?

A.Bikes.

B.Cars.

C.Trains.

D.Minibuses.

44.The word matatus in Paragraph 5 probably means . .

A.a kind of infrastructure

B.a kind of vehicle

C.a kind of network

D.a kind of food

45.According to the passage, which of following statements about transport in African cities is TRUE?

A.It is easy to move from one part of the city to the other.

B.The transport networks are reliable and efficient.

C.Families in African cities pay less on housing than other regions.

D.The rise in urban population needs more infrastructures.

Passage 2

（ 68 ） As many people hit middle age, they often start to notice that their memory and mental clarity are not what they used to be. We suddenly can’t remember where we put the keys just a moment ago, or an old acquaintance’s name, or the name of an old band we used to love. As the brain fades, we sometimes refer to these occurrences as “senior moments.” While seemingly innocent, this loss of mental focus can potentially have a harmful impact on our professional, social, and personal well-being.

It happens to most of us, but is it inevitable? Neuroscientists （ 神经学家） are increasingly showing that there’s actually a lot that can be done. It turns that the brain needs exercise in much the same way our muscles do, and the right mental workouts can significantly improve our basic cognitive（认知） functions. Thinking is essentially a process of making neural connections in the brain. To a certain extent, our ability to excel in making the neural connections that drive intelligence is inherited. However, because these connections are made through effort and practice, scientists believe that intelligence can expand and is unstable according to mental effort.

Now, a new San Francisco Web-based company has taken it a step further and developed the first “brain training program” designed to actually help people improve and regain their mental sharpness. Called Lumosity, it was designed by some of the leading experts in neuroscience and cognitive psychology from Stanford University.

Lumosity is far more than an online place to exercise your mental skills. That’s because they have integrated these exercises into a Web-based program that allows you to systematically improve your memory and attention skills. The program keeps track of your progress and provides detailed feedback on your performance and improvement. Most importantly, it constantly modifies and enhances the games you play to build on the strengths you are developing – much as an effective exercise routine requires you to increase resistance and vary your muscle use.

46.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.“Senior moments” are innocent.

B.“Senior moments” are harmful.

C.Brain training is helpful.

D.Brain training is useless.

47.From the first sentence, we can learn that middle-aged people . .

A.have a better memory than before

B.are smarter than before

C.have a weaker memory than before

D.have better mental clarity than before

48.Lumosity is designed by .

A.scientists in a company

B.professors in a university

C.trainers in a club

D.experts in a factory

49.What can improve our basic cognitive functions?

A.More muscles exercises.

B.More brain exercises.

C.More “senior moments”.

D.More professional skills.

50.Which of the following is TRUE about the “brain training program”?

A.It is web-based.

B.It is just for fun.

C.It is a muscle exercise.

D.It enhances all strengths of the brain.

Passage 3

A question that often troubles food companies is how to control problems like rats and insects without harming the food. Pest control experts say poisons should never be used where they may enter food. They say the first line of defense against pests is to clean the places where food is handled or stored.

Floors, food preparation surfaces and tools can be disinfected with chemicals  like chlorine ( 氯), iodine (碘) or bromine (溴). Food containers should be stored about half a meter off the ground and about a half meter away from any walls. Storage areas should be kept dry and clean.

Containers for raw materials such as rice, wheat, etc. should be kept closed and clean.（69）Any foodstuff spilt during delivery or handling should be cleared up both inside and outside the building. Pests enter a building from outside, so pay attention to outer walls. Small stones can be used to cover the ground and block the growth of plants and areas of grass should be kept short to deny pests a place to live.

Check that doors and windows are completely closed. Also any hole that might allow pests to enter a building should be filled. Rats can enter through a hole the size of a coin. A mouse can pass through a hole half that size.

Supervisors should make a list of pest control measures to be taken by employees. This will aid the efforts and also help prepare for any inspections. In most countries, there is a food and drug administration bureau, or some agency with a similar name, which enforces rules nationwide, responsible for rules about the use of pesticides, etc. (70 ） However, businesses where food is stored, prepared or sold must also follow state and local health laws. Most of these governmental departments or bureaus have their website with information about food safety policies and other issues. People can easily access the information.

51.According to pest control experts, poisons should never be used where .

A.there are few rats

B.food may be contaminated

C.children may get hands on them

D.there are containers for raw materials

52.From the text, we know that things like chlorine, iodine or bromine are all .

A.food

B.fruits

C.chemicals

D.food containers

53.Outer walls are built .

A.to block the growth of plants

B.to prevent animals from going outside

C.to protect rice and wheat from rain and wind

D.to prevent pests from entering a building from outside

54.Why is it necessary for supervisors to make a list of pest control measures?

A.To be carried out by employees.

B.To follow state and local health laws.

C.To be put on governmental departments’ websites.

D.To help control pests and help prepare for any inspection.

55.One of the responsibilities of a food and drug administration bureau is .

A.to check doors and windows

B.to set up rules about the use of pesticides

C.to prevent plants and grass from growing tall

D.to fill holes from which pests to enter a building

One day a police officer managed to get some fresh mushrooms. He was so        56        what he had bought that he offered to 57 the mushrooms with his brother officers.

“Let the dog    58     a piece first,” suggested one     59     officer who was afraid that the mushrooms might be poisonous. The dog seemed to       60       his mushrooms, and the officers then began to eat their meal saying that the mushrooms had a very strange but quite pleasant taste.

An hour later, however, they were all astonished when the gardener rushed in and said     61 the dog was dead.       62       , the officers jumped into their cars and rushed into the nearest hospital. Pumps ( 泵) were used and the officers had a very 63 time getting rid of the mushrooms that 64 in their stomachs. Later, the gardener was called to tell the way

65 the poor dog had died. The gardener answered, “It was killed the moment a car hit it.”
