三、阅读（共两节, 满分35分）

第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分）

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中, 选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

 Do you know your phone number well？ Your number has 11 digits（数字）. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That is because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that?

The 11 digits include three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you the mobile phone service provider you are using. For example, 135 is for the China Mobile Communication Corporation （中国移动）and 188 is for China Unicom （中国联通）. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is from. And the last four digits are random（随机 的）.

The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits from 1999.

Eleven digits can make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That's enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China. Also, we can use the mobile phone numbers again. Usually, the service provider will use a canceled number again after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven't called for a long time, you may find its owner has changed.

Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11 - digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot make as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada's mobile phone numbers are perhaps the world's shortest: they use seven digits.

31. What can we learn from the mobile phone number 188-4792-8343?

A. The service provider is the China Mobile Communication Corporation.

B. The digits 4792 tell you the area the mobile phone number is from.

C. There are ten digits in the mobile phone number.

D. The digits 8343 tell you the number of service providers in China.

32. Why do we use 11 - digit mobile phone numbers in China?

A. There are many people in China.

B. People in China can remember numbers well.

C. 11 is a lucky number for Chinese people.

D. It helps people to remember more phone numbers.

33. What does the underlined word " canceled " mean in Chinese?

A. 新型的.

B. 已撤销的.

C. 有用的.

D. 特殊的.

34. The writer wrote this passage mainly to tell us __.

A. what the meaning of cellphone numbers is

B. why Chinese cellphone numbers have 11 digits

C. when the first cellphone number was created

D which country has the longest cellphone number

B

The love story between Niulang and Zhinv is one of the most famous Chinese folk love stories. The earliest record of this myth was over 2600 years ago.

Niulang was an honest and kind cowherd who lived by himself farming. One day he met a beautiful girl named Zhinv, the seventh daughter of the Goddess, who had come to the earth to look for fun. Zhinv soon fell in love with Niulang and came down secretly from the heaven to the earth and married him. They lived a happy life and gave birth to two children. Unfortunately （不幸地）, the Goddess soon found out the fact that her daughter married a human being. She was very angry and took Zhinv back to the heaven soon.

Niulang was very sad after his wife Zhinv left him. His ox began to talk and help him fly to heaven to meet his wife. When he was about to catch up with his wife, the Goddess found Niulang and used her hairpin to slash it across the sky and created the Milky Way to stop him. Then Zhinv became the star Vega and Niulang the star Altair. They were separated （分开）on the two banks and could only cried with tears. Moved by their love, lots of magpies （喜鹊） formed a bridge for the couple to meet each other. The Goddess was also touched by their love and finally allowed them to meet on the 7th of the 7th lunar month every year, which became today's Double Seventh Day, the Chinese Valentine's Day.

On the day Chinese people will look up at the sky and watch the two star Altair and Vega meet on the same side of the Milky Way for the yearly meeting.

Deep in the forest of southeastern Mexico, scientists found a surprise. They found an ancient pyramid. There were colorful murals （壁画）in it. Those murals are helping scientists learn about people living in ancient times.

The murals are about 1, 350 years old. That's more than five times older than the United States. The U. S. A is 245 years old. Scientists say the paintings belonged to the Mayas, a group of native American people. They lived many years ago here-now it is Mexico and Central America.

Scientists are excited about the findings because they don't know much about the Mayas' daily life. The paintings show how the Mayas worked, shopped and dined. One mural shows a man drinking from a bowl. Another shows a woman selling food to a group of people.

They are not sure why the Mayas created them. The scientists hope to learn more as they continue their study.

Dear Tom,

There was an English week in our school last month. We had many interesting activities. For example, students told Chinese stories in English in the story competition, which helped us have a better understanding of Chinese history. Besides, some well-behaved guys also shared their learning methods in the English Corner. What＇s more, we sang English songs together at the end of the English week.

By participating in the English week, not only did I improve my spoken English, but also I broadened my horizon and knew more about our history and culture. I did learn a lot from it.
