第三节阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）

A

As winter gives way to spring, students feel like taking outdoor activities. However, do remember that accidents can happen, such as the one that happened at Taihu Lake several weeks ago. Four students from Shanghai were killed and several were injured. There were several reasons for the accident, but if the students had worn life jackets, it would have made a big difference.

Therefore, it is important to take steps to avoid accidents before going on trips whether on land or water. Here are some steps:

Make sure you are physically fit for any activities. You need energy for hiking or boating after a long inactive winter.

Research your route (路线). Check the weather report so you can pack the correct things so that an unexpected downpour or high winds won’t destroy your day.

If you are visiting a different culture, learn some basic knowledge about what’s accepted and what is not.

Take plenty of water to prevent your body from losing too much water and be sure to wear the correct footwear to protect your feet. Don’t go to faraway areas and never risk going into unknown waters.

Going in a group is safer than going alone. If you have to travel by yourself, leave a note of your travel route, telephone number and how you are travel ing. So if there’s an emergency, people can get in touch with you.

36. The accident at Taihu Lake is mentioned to______________.

A. warn students against traveling alone

B. introduce the topic of the passage

C. show the disadvantages of outdoor activities

D. remind students of the importance of life jackets

37. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. People usually take part in fewer activities in winter.

B. Cultures play an important role in your traveling.

C. People should wear comfortable shoes while traveling.

38. Which of the following can be used as the best title?

A. Be Well Prepared for Outdoor Activities.

What a week it’s been for Jeremy Lin!

With five breakout games, the Taiwanese-American has become the NBA’s newest pl aymaking sensation(轰动).

In the New York Knicks’ 92-85 win over the Los Angles Lakers last Saturday, Lin had 38 points—a record high in his career (职业) so far. And a day later, he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory (胜利), 100-98, to Minnesota Timberwolves. In his earlier games, Lin, 23, had 23 points against the Washington, 25 points against New Jersey and 28 more against Utah in his first start.

No doubt, Lin fever is starting to spread. If you haven't caught it yet, get ready, because it's coming, as the Knicks depends on the rising star for their final victory.

Before graduating from high school in Palo Alto, California, Lin sent his basic personal information to all the Ivy League Schools. He only got into Harvard and Brown, and he chose Harvard. In 2010, Lin graduated with a degree in economics（经济学）.

After graduating from Harvard, Lin wasn’t accepted by any NBA team. Later, he started off on the Golden State Warriors. Lin first signed with the Warriors in July, 2010, but hardly played in games before the start of the fourth quarter. His first time on the court for the Warriors scored several points in just eleven minutes.

New York Knicks has been in need of a dependable point guard and to Mike D’Antoni, the Knicks coach who is going through a hard season, Lin is a most unexpected valuable player.

Take a book, leave a book. Public bookshelves are appearing across Germany on street corners, city squares and supermarkets.

In these free-for-all libraries, people can take whatever they want to read, and leave behind anything they want for others. There is no need to register(登记), no exact date to return books and you can take or give as many as you want.

“It is aimed at everyone who likes to read—whatever age or education. It is open for everybody,”

said Michael Aubermann, a 44-year-old who works in IT management.

“We put up our other outdoor shelves last year and it’s been working really well,” added Aubermann.

The public book shelves, which are run with the money given by and cared for by local volunteer groups, have appeared independently of each other in many cities across Germany including Berlin, Hannover and Bonn, and also in suburbs and villages.

Each shelf holds around 200 books and it takes about six weeks for a complete turnover, with new books taking the place of all the old ones, he said.

While most of the shelves have so far been put up in rich neighborhoods, Aubermann and the 20 volunteers who help look after the project (事业) are planning to put up future shelves in poor neighborhoods, where people often don’t have such chanc es to read.

So far, the Cologne book group has had few problems. For example, a used-book seller once emptied every copy on a shelf to sell at a market. Besides, book stores and online book sellers have their own ideas about free book exchanges.

43. What’s the text mainly about?

A. Germans like reading outside.

B. Everyone has a chance to read in Germany.

C. Public bookshelves spread across Germany.

D. Germany is the first country to have public bookshelves.

44. Which of the following is true according to the text?

A. Public bookshelves are only put in big cities.

B. One has to pay if he wants to take a book.

C. One doesn’t have to return a book at a fixed time.

D. The Cologne book group has had no problem until now.

45. Who are allowed to read the books?

A. All the people.

B. Only educated people.

C. Those who live in rich neighborhoods.

D. Those who have reached a certain age.

46. What would the author probably talk about after the last paragraph?

A. Why some people volunteer to give money to the project.

B. What book stores and online book sellers think of the project.

C. Why a used-book seller tried to sell the books of a shelf at a market.

D. What has caused the few problems to the project up till now.

D
