三、Reading Comprehension（30 points，2 points for each item）
从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题卡上将相应
的字母涂黑。

1.
Many people think New York is a noisy city. In fact,scientists who study noise
say that the average noise level in New York is 72. 5 decibels. This is a little
louder than normal conversation,which is 65 decibels. The noise level is the result
of so many people and cars in the same area.
Now even the insides of taxis are noisy. When you get into a taxi,you hear the voice
of a wellknown singer,sports reporter,or Broadway actress giving instructions.
That’t right. The voice of a famous person tells you what to do. One popular singer
gives this message:“Cats have nine lives,but you have only one,so fasten your seat
belt!”Other voices say things such as“Don’t forget to collect all your
belongings. ”（People often leave hats,umbrellas,and bags in taxis. ）
There is a good reason for the messages. There are more than 12,000 cabs in New
York,and every year taxis get into more than 15,000 accidents. In an accident,people
who don’t wear seat belts hit the partition,the glass wall separating the driver
and passengers in the taxi. They can hurt their foreheads or break their noses or
chins. Every year,about 11,000 people are injured in this way.
Many people are annoyed by the voices. Cabdrivers in particular dislike the
messages. “I play the messages 12 hours a day. I hear the same voices 60 times a
day. It makes me crazy,”says Amir,a 45yearold cabdriver. “But if I don’t play the
messages,I get fined ＄100. ”A lot of passengers complain,too. “It’s too much
noise,”says a passenger. “I asked the driver to turn off the message,but he said
he can’t. ”
Other people think the voices are a great idea. One taxi driver says,“People like
to hear the famous voices,and they put on their seat belts more often. ”And
passengers from out of town really like the idea. “Most of the time,taxi drivers
are in a bad mood,”says Melanie Benton,who visits New York often on
business,“It’s nice to hear a cheerful voice when you get into a cab. ”

(1).
The sentence“Cats have nine lives,but you have only one”implies
that______.
(A).
human beings have only one life
(B).
cats live longer than human beings
(C).
cats will have new lives after they die
(D).
human beings should value their lives
答案：D

Some people might think that Father’s Day was established as a holiday to help
greeting card companies sell more cards. However,when Father’s Day was first
suggested in the early 1900s,Father’s Day cards hadn’t been invented yet.
The idea of celebrating Father’s Day was actually inspired by Mother’s Day. In
1909,Mother’s Day was just becoming very popular in the United States. One
day,Sonora Dodd,of Spokane,Washington,was listening to a church talk about setting
aside a day to honor one’s mother. It gave her the idea to propose a day to honor
fathers,and in particular,her own father—William Jackson Smart.
Mr. Smart had raised Sonora and her five brothers and sisters all by himself after
Sonora’s mother died in childbirth. As an adult,Sonora realized the selflessness
her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent. Her father made all
the parental sacrifices. In the daughter’s eyes,her father was a
courageous,selfless,and loving man.
Mrs. Dodd went to her minister and others about having a church service devoted to
fathers on June 5,her father’s birthday. That date was too soon for her minister to
prepare a service,so he spoke two weeks later on June 19. It took about a year of
