25、eautiful III. 阅读理解 （ 30 分） 阅读下面四篇文章，在所给 A、 B、 C、 D 中选出最佳答案。 A For some kids, old photos and baby pictures are embarrassing. For others, they are cherished keepsakes (纪念品 ). But for thousands of children living in orphanages (孤儿院 ) worldwide, these records of the past simply dont exist. Either the ki
26、ds parents werent around to snap photos, or the pictures have been lost. Whatever the reason is, the Memory Project is giving orphans a lasting document of their youth. Over the last two years, the Memory Project has provided hand-painted portraits to more than 4,000 children living in orphanages in
27、 poor countries. Ben Schumaker, 24, got the idea when he was visiting an orphanage in Guatemala in Central America. But hes not creating the portraits(肖像 ) alone. Students in hundreds of high school art classes across the U.S. paint them using photos sent from the orphanages. Schumaker believes that
28、 the artists benefit from the project as much as the orphans do.“There are two purposes of the Memory Project,” he said. “One is to offer a special gift to the child abroad. The other is to help open the eyes of the student who is painting.”Staring into the eyes of another person, Schumaker believes
29、, it creates a real connection. This connection raises awareness in U.S. schools about the needs of the worlds poor children.“Its about planting a seed,” he said. Schumaker is also working on Books of Hope, a project in which students of all ages put together homemade books for children in Uganda an
30、d India. He hopes that one day children in Uganda and India. He hopes that one day children in Uganda and India will send books to the U.S. “Its important to me to have it be a two-way exchange,” Schmnaker says. 51. Old photos and baby pictures are clearly unavailable to _ _ . A. the kids in rich fa
31、milies B. the kids in common families C. the kids in expanded families D. the kids without parents 52. How can the orphans in Guatemala get a continuing record of their youth? A.

32、en by the U.S. students in high schools. D. By the Memory Project started by Ben Schumaker. 53. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? A. The special gifts that the worlds poor children received. B. The benefits that the Memory Project brings. C. The need of the US schools. D. How to help the
33、 orphans. 54. According to the passage, Schumaker helps the kids in . A. two countries B. three countries C. four countries D. five countries B English is the language that is spoken in more countries than any other language. In places like India and Africa, where the native people speak many differ
34、ent languages, English is the language they will usually use to speak to each other. However, many people think that this is not fair. As we all know, English is a difficult language to master. It has a complicated grammar system and a great many, strange idioms. English spelling often doesnt make a
35、ny sense at all. Some people feel that this gives native speakers of English an unfair advantage. They feel that there should be one true international language which everyone would have to learn as a foreign language. That way everyone would be equal. One person who believed this very strongly was
36、Dr L.L. Zamenhof. In 1887, he invented an international language called Esperanto. The word esperanto means one who hopes in that language. Zamenhof hoped that if everyone in the world learned one language, it would help to encourage goodwill and friendship between nations. Esperanto was designed to
37、 be easy to learn. Its rules of grammar and spelling are simple. There are 28 letters in the alphabet and each one corresponds (相符合 ) to only one sound. Nouns end in o, adjectives end in a and adverbs end in e. Plurals are made by adding j. These rules have no exceptions(例外 ), so there are no irregu
38、lar verbs and strange endings for plurals（复数） in Esperanto (unlike English). Esperanto is now spoken in 90 countries around the world and many newspapers and books are published in it. Some schools even offer courses in the language. However, until it is taught in schools everywhere, Esperanto will
39、never become the means of international understanding Dr Zamenhot had hoped. 55. English is spoken . A. only in England B. in England and America C. by everyone in the world D. in most countries in the world 56. English is . A. difficult to master B. easy to master C. full of simple grammar rules. D

A. have many exceptions B. all end in a vowel. C. are the same as in English D. are simple, with no exceptions C Besides giving off gases
41、 and dusts into the air, humans produce waste that is poured on the environment. Often, this waste produced by major industries and people is harmful to both nature and human life. One of the main causes of the large amount of dangerous waste is that people do not realize how large a problem it is.
42、Because it can be simply removed and sent to a landfill (废渣填埋场 ), the problem is often believed to end there. In addition, industries have often shown an unwillingness to find ways to deal with dangerous waste because of the related expenses. Many industries and governments build simple landfills to
43、 store waste, and often just pour waste chemicals into nearby bodies of water. Often, chemicals used for industrial production cause dangerous forms of waste. The amount of these chemicals has increased greatly in the past, but it is often difficult and expensive to get rid of these chemicals or to
44、store them in a way safe to human life and the environment. Every year, major health problems result from dangerous waste. Sadly, it is often only after someone has died or become seriously ill that governments will take measures to reduce levels of harmful waste. Some governments have realized how
45、serious the dangerous waste problem is and are now trying to settle this problem. They are also trying to limit the amount of waste industries are allowed to produce. Not only governments but ordinary people as well must work together to solve the problem. They can choose not to buy those products which require the production of dangerous waste, and produce less harmful waste themselves . Many scientists think that waste production can be cut. The waste can be reduced by at least one third using existing technologies and methods. 59. What would be the best title for the text? A. Measures o
