三、3.Reading Comprehension

Part III  Reading Comprehension

0.Section A (30 points, 2 points each)
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability.There are 3 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Last night after dinner I told my family the bad news. 1 had this class assignment to monitor our use of energy at home for a week. Our family got an F.
  Tuesday night my brother watched the same two hour movie on his TV set that we were watching in the living room. Thursday Mom ran an entire dishwashing cycle for 3cupa, 2plates, a knife and 3 little spoons. That"s lot of electricity and hot water down the drain.
  Dad drives 28 miles back and forth to work alone. Two men he works with live right nearly, and they could carpool(合伙使用汽車) and save about a thousand gallons of gas a year. And me, I"m guilty too. I went out and left the radio blaring in my room all Saturday morning.
  So last night at the dinner table we all agreed to do everything we could to conserve energy. Faster showers. Lower thermostats(溫度調(diào)節(jié)器) . Fuller care (51) It"s a fact that this country"s using up energy faster than we produce it. I read that we may run out of oil-forever-in thirty years. So terrible. (52) Unless every person in every house on every block does his part, the future looks pretty dim.

5.Do you want to know something about the history of weather? Don"t look at the sky. Don"t look for old weather reports. Looking at tree rings is more important. Correct weather reports date back only one century, but some trees can provide an exact record of the weather even further back. (53) It is natural that a tree would grow best in a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall. It is also expected that little sunlight or rainfall would limit the growth of a tree. The change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be determined by reading the pattern of rings in a tree trunk. (54)To find out the weather of ten years age, count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the other rings, then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred. If the ring are close together, then the climate was bad for the tree. Studying tree rings is important not only for the history of weather, but also for the history of man. In a region of New Mexico you can find only sand-no tree and no people. However, many centuries ago a large population lived there. They left suddenly. Why? A scientist studied patterns of dead tree rings which had grown there. He decided that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees. Trees were necessary to make fires and buildings. So, after the people destroyed the trees, they had to move. In this instance studying tree rings uncovered an exciting fact about the history of man.

A．tree rings grow close together
B．tree rings grow far apart
C．trees in New Mexico will grow big and tall
