第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Forget chip fat，sugar cane or rapeseed(油菜籽) oil—the latest source of biofuel could be waterelons.
Scientists have discovered that the fruit is a great source of sugar that can be readily distilled(蒸馏) into alcohol to power cars and far achinery.
And because sellers reject 360,000 tons of “substandard” fruit annually in Aerica alone they could be used as an econoical way to ake fuel.The waste fro US growers could produce nearly two illion gallons(nine illion litres) of biofuel per year.
In the study，researchers at the US Departent of Agriculture set out to deterine the biofuel potential of juice fro rejected waterelons—those not sold due to cosetic iperfections，and currently ploughed back into the field.
About a fifth of each annual waterelon crop is left in the field because of surface bleishes (瑕疵) or because they are isshapen.
Dr.Wayne Fish，who led the tea，found that 50 percent of the fruit was ferentable (可发酵的) into alcohol which could provide valuable fuel.
“We’ve shown that the juice of these elons is a source of readily ferentable sugars，representing an unexploited raw aterial for alcohol biofuel production，”he said.
The study，published in the journal Biotechnology for Biofuels，discovered that waterelons could produce around 20 gallons of fuel per acre fro fruit that otherwise would go to waste.
Production of biofuels has been targeted by western governents as a way to support renewable energy targets.
The European Union has a target for 2010 that 5.75 percent of transport fuels should coe fro biological sources，but the target is unlikely to be et.
The British governet’s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation requires five percent of the fuel sold at the pup by 2010 to be biofuel.
56．The passage ainly tells us ________.
A．western countries ai at producing biofuels
B．waterelons could be used to ake fuelxkb1.co
C．the advantages of fuel ade fro waterelons
D．waterelon juice will be the largest source of renewable energy
解析：选B。主旨大意题。本主题在第一段，即西瓜可以用做燃料。
57．Which of the following is NOT the reason why so any waterelons are deserted in Aerica each year?
A．They are substandard(不够标准)．
B．They are iperfect.
C．They are isshapen.
D．They are oversupplied.
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第三、五段可知A、B、C项是美国西瓜被丢弃的原因，中没有提到D项。
58．We can learn fro the text that ________.
A．sellers in the world throw away 360,000 tons of waterelons every year
B．about two gallons of fuel could be ade fro rejected fruit per acre
C．half of the waterelons were ferentable into alcohol to provide energy
D．five percent of fuel is required to be biofuel fro waterelons by 2010 in Britain
解析：选C。推理。根据第六段可知，有一半的西瓜可以发酵成酒提供燃料。
59．The underlined word“cosetic” in Paragraph 4 probably eans ________.
A．inside B．flavor
C．surface D．freshness
解析：选C。词义理解题。根据下的surface bleishes可推知此处cosetic指西瓜的外在部分。
B
Jesse Owens is recognized as a hero not just because he is fast.Soe people ight say that they know hi for just that reason.However，there are lots of fast people who are not known.Jesse Owens is known because Chancellor Adolf Hitler did not shake the hand of Jesse Owens or even recognize his feat of winning four gold edals，because Owens was an African Aerican.
Jesse Owens owed uch of his success to his coach Charles Riley，who probably was the ost iportant one aking hi have the career that he did.Owens cae fro a background that required hi to work after school in a shoe shop.He couldn’t attend the regularly scheduled track practices organized by his school.However，Charles Riley saw the boy had both a passion (热情) and a talent for running，and so arranged for hi to be able to practice before school instead.
Jesse Owens achieved this success despite (尽管) his racial background，which at the tie was a huge liitation to hi.He could only eat in certain restaurants and sleep in certain hotels，as could all African Aericans of the tie.He was also never offered a scholarship for school despite setting records for NCAA (美国全国大学生体育协会) chapionships.
The Berlin Olypics in 1936 is where his star rose as high as it would ever be able to.These Olypics were during the height of Hitler’s rule.It took courage to race in front of Hitler and any other racists (种族主义者)．It took tie，deterination，and perseverance (坚持不懈) to race like hi.He won four gold edals at those Olypics.It would take alost fifty years for soeone else to walk away fro the Olypics with four gold edals.He passed away at the age of 66 fro lung cancer.
【解题导语】 本是关于美国黑人Jesse Owens的介绍。他在1936年柏林奥运会上夺得4枚金牌，为美国带了极大的荣誉，也使希特勒颜面无光。
60．The underlined word “feat” in Paragraph 1 is closest in eaning to “________”．
A．chance B．happiness
C．success D．hope
解析：选C。词义猜测题。Jesse Owens获得了四枚金牌，这是很成功的，而且最后一段也提到大约50年之后才有人同样在奥运会上拿走四枚金牌，这也同样说明了Jesse Owens的丰功伟绩。故答案选C项。
61.We know fro Paragraph 2 that Jesse Owens ________.
A．did not need to work after school
B．took part in the regular track practices
C．did not get along well with his coach
D．was arranged to practice before school
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句话的．..so arranged for hi to be able to practice before school instead可知Jesse Owens由于放学后要工作，不能参加常规的训练，而是被教练安排上前训练。故D项正确。
62．Jesse Owens was wellknown around the world ainly because he ________.
A．set records for NCAA chapionships
B．was brave enough to race in front of Adolf Hitler
C．didn’t want to shake hands with Hitler
D．was the first African Aerican to eat and sleep like whites in Aerica
解析：选B。推理。由最后一段的前三句可知，Jesse Owens闻名世界的原因是他敢于在种族主义者希特勒面前展现自己的实力。
63．According to the passage，which of the following about Jesse Owens is TRUE?
A．He won a scholarship for his setting records for NCAA chapionships.
B．He was never looked down upon as a running star.
C．Just like Hitler，he was also a racist.
D．He died fro cancer in his sixties.
解析：选D。细节理解题。由第三段末句可知A错误；由第三段前两句可得出B错误；由末段可知，希特勒是名种族主义者，Jesse Owens因此受到歧视，而Jesse Owens并非种族主义者，故C错误；由末段最后一句可知，D正确。
C
