第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题; 每小题2分, 满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

The famous American gorilla (大猩猩) expert Diane Fossey had a completely new way to study gorillas — she pretended to be one of them. She copied their actions and way of life — eating plants and getting down on her hands and knees to walk the way a gorilla does. It was a new relationship.

Diane Fossey was murdered in Rwanda in 1985 and her story was made into the popular film Gorillas in the Mist. It was a long way from King Kong, which is about a gorilla as a monster (a frightening animal), and helped to show a new idea: the real monster is man, while the gorilla is to be admired.

Today there are thought to be around 48,000 lowland gorillas and maybe 400 — 500 mountain gorillas in the wild. From the Congo in West Africa, to Rwanda and Uganda further east, they are endangered (put in a situation in which they could be harmed or damaged) by hunting and by the cutting down of their forest homes.

Some time ago, I found in my letterbox a little magazine from the World Wide Fund for Nature. It had two photos side by side. One was of a young gorilla. “This is a species of mammal (哺乳类动物),” said the words below it. “It is being destroyed by man. We must save it for our own good.” The other photo showed a human baby. The words also read: “This is a species of mammal,” but then went on: “It is the most destructive (破坏性的) on earth. We must retrain it for its own good.”

51. The text mainly talks about .

A. Diane Fossey

B. the gorillas in Rwanda

C. the protection of the gorillas

D. the film Gorillas in the Mist

52. We can learn from the text that .

A. Gorillas in the mist was based on Fossey’s experiences

B. lowland gorillas live longer than mountain gorillas

C. King Kong showed us that a gorilla is admirable

D. Diane Fossey was murdered by a gorilla

53. What message can we get from the two photos in the magazine?

A. Gorillas are man’s close friends.

B. Both man and the gorilla need to be saved.

C. Young gorillas are as lovely as human babies.

D. Man should live peacefully with the gorilla.

B

Say you are a 17th century construction (建筑) worker who’s worked long and hard to build a splendid tower for the dead wife of your king.

Now say that the emperor orders your fingertips cut off so you can never build another one. Yes, that is the Taj Mahal, one of the most famous buildings in the world. And the story behind the construction is just as impre
