三、阅读理解:【3道,总分:30分】
1.Paul Tibbets is a good-natured old man with thick white hair who speaks thoughtfully. The lively 85-year-old was the pilot and commander of the bomber who dropped the first-ever atom bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. He is a controversial(争议的) figure in world history but most Americans regard him as a hero. Tibbets never tires of recalling the operation that was to shape the rest of his life. More than 140,000 people were killed in the atomic explosion and tens of thousands of others died from the after-effects of radiation(辐射). “I didn't realize at the time what effect dropping the atom bomb would have. Our aim was to do everything to beat the Japanese. They were our enemies and we were at war. We wanted to see an end to the killing so that our soldiers could come home,” said Tibbets. Although Tibbets was following orders he has been forced to confront the moral impact of the bombing. His name became known throughout the world along with that of the plane used to drop the atom bomb. From that day on he is “the man who dropped the atom bomb”. “After the war I met President Truman,” said Tibbets. “He told me I had done my duty and that if anyone criticized me for dropping the bomb I should send that person to see him because he gave me the order to do so.” The retired general has been around the world a lot since then but has never gone back to Japan.

2.We do not know when man first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout history. Historical evidence shows, for example, that people who lived over 3,000 years ago ate salted fish. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to preserve the body of the dead. Stealing salt was considered a major crime during some periods in history. In the 18th century, for instance, about ten thousand people were put in prison for stealing salt. In the year 1553, stealing salt could be punished as a crime and the stealer's ear was cut off. In the Roman Empire, one of the most important roads was the one that carried salt from the salt mines to Rome. Guards were stationed along the route to protect against salt thieves. The guards received their pay in salt, hence the English word, salary. Any guard who fell asleep while on duty was said to be “not worth his salt”, and as a result he would get a little less salt on his next payday. This expression is still used today in English to refer to a person who is thought of as incapable of doing a job. Now salt has many uses beyond the dining table. It is used in the making of glass and airplane parts, in the growing of crops, and in killing weeds(杂草). It is also used to make water soft, to melt ice on roads and highways, to make soap, and to fix colors on cloth. Salt can be obtained in various ways. Evaporation(蒸发) of salt water from the ocean or salt water lakes is one of the common processes for getting salt. However it is obtained, salt will continue to play an important role in the lives of the people everywhere. (满分:)

3.There are four beautiful things about Hawaii. First, the beaches. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. Most of them are covered with fine white sand. They are thought to be among the best beaches in the world. Another wonderful thing about the beaches of Hawaii is the water temperature. The year-round average temperature of the water at the famous resort(胜地) of Waikiki Beach is 23℃! In fact, there are no real seasons in Hawaii. There is a difference of only two or three degrees between the hottest day of summer and the coldest day of winter. That's why the Hawaiians don't have a word for weather in their language. Second, the volcanoes(火山). These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands, but they actually make the islands. Because of them the islands are still growing. The most famous volcano on Hawaii is Mauna Loa. It is the world's most active volcano. It has been erupting(爆发) for thousands of years. Even when it isn't erupting, smoke comes out of the earth from thousands of little holes. These volcanoes could be dangerous to the population of Hawaii. In fact, Hilo, the second largest city in Hawaii, is built just under Mauna Loa. The volcano could erupt at any time, but the people of Hilo do not seem worried. Third, all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Every day of the year there are flowers blooming. Every month a dozen different kinds of trees are covered with fruits. Fourth, the people who live there. From its earliest days, Hawaii has had a peaceful history. The Polynesians(玻利尼西亚人) who came to the islands about a thousand years ago believed that a stranger should be welcomed. They offered strangers food and comfort, and thought of them as brothers. (满分:)
