Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom industry. Date speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones.
“Mobile data is not a dream; it’s not an option but a requirement,” said Len Lauer, head of a US communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.
With 3G, you can forget about next messages telling you yesterday’s news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.
Face-to-face video calls
Don’t worry about getting lost, 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.
However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-video communication, you can have face-to –face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.
Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the US Government issued five license to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year.
International telecom companies can’t wait to sell 3G in China, the world’s largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops.
“We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service,” said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile. “ We expect that the 3G licenses will be issued late next year.”

It is the season for long lines and frayed (紧张的) nerves. Here’s how to deal.
Lighten up
Do youreslf a favor and ship(运送) your presents. Nearly every U.S. airline charges a fee to check a bag, so shipping gifts is now cheaper and more convenient than carrying them in your luggage.
Weigh your options
Now knowing what you’re going to pay for your luggage is annoying. So calculate your overweight-luggage fees at home. You can find the fees out in advance by visiting new site Luggage Limits, which provides the latest information on more than 90 airlines.
Leave amateurs（不熟练者） in the dust
Trust us and get to the airport an extra half-hour early. The check-in and security lines are filled with inexperienced fliers, and it’s a hard walking. Plus, if you decide to cut it close, you may not get onto the flight at all. To reduce costs, airlines have reduced on flights and routes. The remaining flights are more likely to be oversold, especially on busy travel days. Fliers who check in early are the least likely to get bumped from oversold flights.
Take it public
The rates for renting a car at the airport have more than doubled over the past year because rental lot inventories(地产) have increased dramatically. True, renting at the airport is convenient, but it’s just not worth it anymore. Unless you really need a car, take public transportation, hop a cab, or beg a friend to pick you up at the airport instead.
Say no to bumper cars
Tell the people picking you up to avoid parking their car. They can hang out in their car for free while waiting to get a call from you when you land. Many airports, including JFK and LAX, now feature this sensible choice.
68.Airlines have reduced flights to_________.
A. deal with crisis                         B. reduce the time for leave
C. lower the cost                          D. provide more job chances
69. We can learn from the passage that____      .
A. taking a taxi at the airport is expensive
B. taxis stay at the airport free of charge
C. cars can park at the airport for free
D. JFK encourages people to take a taxi
70. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. 5 Ways to Survey a Holiday Flight.             B. Good Seasons for Flight
C. Cars at the Airport                     D. How to Board a Flight

C
Elephants are the largest land animals and they need plenty of living span. They have seasonal migration(迁徙) routes. As human populations rise, elephant land is being cleared for agriculture and other kinds of development.
When animals are effectively trapped on small areas of land, it restricts the gene pool and also results in a shortage of food. Where elephant reserves (保护区 ) border agricultural areas, elephants are often attracted to leave parks to attack crops and barns. Only the strongest walls will stop an adult elephant, so farmers have great difficulty protecting their fields.
In India, elephants don’t only attack for food. Some even have developed a taste for rice beer. In Assam, elephant-human conflict has resulted in the death of more than 150 people and 200 elephants in two years.
Poverty leads to the killing of elephants for meat. If people don’t have enough food and their governments cannot afford to enforce poaching(偷猎) bans, it’s not difficult to predict the outcome.
Ivory comes from elephant tusks, which can grow to be 3 metres long. Both male and female African elephants have large tusks.
Most new ivory comes from Africa and is sold as a high status material in Asian countries such as Thailand, mainland China and Japan. It can fetch $150 a pound and is carved to make decorations, chopsticks and ink stamps(印章). The conservation priority(重点) here is to change public attitudes.
In some countries in southern Africa, where conservation efforts have been successful, there is not enough room for a growing elephant population and animals have to be killed. A CITES meeting in November 2002 ruled that Botswana, Namibia and South Africa may sell stock-piled（库存的） ivory, starting in 2004.
Many conservationists are convinced that this will fuel the demand for ivory and lead to more illegal poaching, they say it is almost impossible to tell legal from poached ivory. The governments argue that the sales will be used to fund conservation work.
64. Which of the following isn’t the result of smaller elephant land?
A. Seasonal migration. B. Elephant-human conflict.
C. Restricting the gene pool. D. Shortage of food.
65. The most important thing to protect elephants is _______.
A. to build strongest walls
B. to sell stock-piled ivory instead of illegal ivory
C. to enforce poaching bans
D. to change people’s ideas
66. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The killing of dephants for meat.
B. The ban of the trade in African elephant ivory.
C. The selling of stock-piled ivory.
D. The sales to fund conservation work.
67. According to the passage, we can infer that_______.
A. farmers have trouble protecting their field since no walls can stop an adult elephant.
B. if the government could help solve poverty, there would be less killing of elephants.
C. only male elephants in Africa have tusks as long as 3 meters.
D. since there is not enough room for a growing elephant population, there is no need to ban poaching all over Africa.

After the coming of Europeans to the Americas, Indians were forced to change their way of life.Yet the influence of native American culture is still felt throughout the United States.
Many of the foods commonly eaten in the United States today were first grown by American Indians. Among these foods are corn, wheat and sweet potatoes, peanuts, pumpkins, tomatoes, and certain beans and berries. Native Americans also discovered ways to use herbs and other plants as medicines.
Native American inventions, such as canoes, ponchos and parkas(风雪衣), hammocks (吊床) and snowshoes are still in use today. Other marks of Indian culture were left in American place names. The state of Alaska, for example, takes its name from a native American word meaning “great land”.
Today nearly 1.5 million native Americans live in the United States. Some still preserve the ways of their ancestors, speaking Indian languages and keeping alive their legends,art forms, and customs. Other native Americans keep few of the old ways, but remain proud of their people’s contributions to American history.Americans have come to appreciate the beauty of Indian crafts(工艺). Many artists find inspiration in traditional Indian designs. Many Indian values, too, have become widely held.Americans today believe that the land, air and water are precious resources (资源) that must be carefully protected. As one government official wrote recently:
We have slowly come back to some of the truths that the Indians knew from the beginning. People need to learn from nature, to keep an ear to the earth, and to refill their spirits in frequent contact with animals and wild land.
60. What does “native Americans” refer to in the passage?

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每题2分,共40分)
第一节：（共15小题,每题2分,共30分）
阅读下面四篇短文，从四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.
He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are a very good friend. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.
Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.
Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered abotrt being rich, because you are a self-made man?
Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I do not know much. All I am is rich.
People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to bring happiness may be missing the meaning of life.
56. The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money_______.
A. is a good way to test your friendship     B. will do harm to your friendship
C. will strengthen your friendship           D. is a good way to break off your friendship
57. What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?
A. He does not feel that he is well educated.
B. He does not think that he is a very important person.
C. He doesn’t think that being rich is worth so much attention.
D. He does not consider himself to be very successful
58. What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?
A. Money is an end.         B. Money is a means.
C. Money is everything.      D. Money is unimportant.
59. Which of the following might the author disagree with?
A. Money is important in modern society.
B. The meaning of life does not completely lie in money.
C. Wealth will surely bring the owner happiness.
D. Happiness is not necessarily the result of wealth.

Cities alarmed by deaths and injuries of pedestrians(行人) are taking efforts to make crosswalks safer for people on foot , especially seniors and children who need more time to cross streets .

73. What is FHWA’s suggestion to states?
A. Fixing more traffic lights.
B. Providing more crosswalks.
