　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　A

　　Across the United States，there are several places where two independent towns grew together to become one city-but kept both their names.

　　Winston-Salem is one of them.It's a mid-sized city in what's called the plateau(high land)，between the Atlantic Coast and the inland mountains in the state of North Carolina.The Winston part is a relatively new place，founded early this century.It's home

　　to

　　the

　　nation's

　　biggest

　　open-air

　　tobacco market.

　　The giant R．J.Reynolds Tobacco Company's headquarters is in Winston-Salem，and Winston is the name of one of Reynolds' best-known cigarette brands.Fast-growing Winston soon surrounded the much older town of Salem，so in 1913，people in the area voted to combine them into a single place.

　　From a historical and tourist point of view，Salem，or Old Salem，as it's called today，is the interesting and unusual part of town.

　　Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians.They spoke German，and their community was religiously based，with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories.The Moravians greatly valued women's work and brainpower.In fact，one of the nation's oldest boarding schools for young women-the Moravians' Salem Academy founded in 1772－is still in operation.

　　Over the years，Salem lost its Moravian character.That all changed，though，when a nonprofit group began to rehabilitate the historic area.These days Old Salem is what's called a living history museum，with exhibits，music，and tours of 18th-century houses，taverns and Moravian dormitory buildings just seven blocks from the tallest skyscraper in Winston-Salem.

　　The historic community is booming again.Just as R．J.Reynolds is taking in millions of dollars making cigarettes across town，Old Salem is generating about D|S15 million a year in tourism revenue and donations.

　　1．From the passage we can know that________.

　　A．Winston-Salem is the name of a city

　　B．Salem is home to the tobacco market

　　C．the city Winston-Salem has two names

　　D．Old Salem is the name of a tobacco brand

　　【解析】　推理判斷題。根據文章第一段及第二段的第一句話可知Winston-Salem是由兩個獨立的鄉鎮聯合起來發展而成的一個城市，因此是個城市名。

　　【答案】　A

　　2．It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that________.

　　A．the two cities benefited each other

　　B．Salem developed faster than Winston

　　C．R.J.Reynolds Company has moved into Salem

　　D．the combination meets the wishes of the people

　　【解析】　推理判斷題。根據．..so in 1913，people in the area voted to combine them into a single place.可知，Winston和Salem合并是這個地區的人們投票表決的結果，滿足了這些人的愿望。

　　【答案】　D

　　3．The city Salem is special for its________.

　　A．boarding school

　　B．lifestyle and tradition

　　C．respect for brainpower

　　D．religious belief

　　【解析】　細節理解題。根據第五段的內容可知，答案應選B，A、C、D都只說明了其中一個方面。

　　【答案】　B

　　4．The underlined word

　　“rehabilitate”

　　in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “________”．

　　A．reconstruct

　　B．evaluate

　　C．enlarge

　　D．decorate

　　【解析】　詞義猜測題。根據These days Old Salem is what's called a living history museum，with exhibits，music，and tours of 18th-century houses，taverns and Moravian dormitory buildings just seven blocks from the tallest skyscraper in Winston-Salem.可知，畫線部分意為“重建”。

　　【答案】　A

　　5．What will probably be talked about in the following part?

　　A．Some other attractions in Winston-Salem.

　　B．How Winston makes profits from tourism.

　　C．Other examples of cities combined by two parts.

　　D．Something about the boarding school for women.

　　【解析】　推理判斷題。根據文章結構可知，文章應分為兩部分，第二到七段為一部分，作者花了大幅篇章來描述Winston-Salem這座城市，且根據第二段Winston-Salem is one of them可知，接下來應該是講述其他由兩個地方合并而成的城市。

　　【答案】　C

　　B

　　Watch out，Yahoo.There's a search engine out there with super speed and accuracy.It's really cool.

　　Google is the Web's largest search engine.In just two years it has gained a reputation for surprising speed and accuracy，delivering exactly what you're looking for in a second.The site now does this 40 million times a day—a number achieved without spending a penny on a TV or newspaper ad.

　　Google doesn't need them.In the past six months alone，the site has won a Webby(the online version of the Oscar) for technical excellence，set a new record for search engines by indexing a billion Web pages.

　　Yahoo still has 10 times the audience，but Google consistently ranks first in customer satisfaction: 97% of users find what they're looking for most or all of the time.“You see people smile when they use it，like they've found something no one else knows about，” says Danny Sullivan，editor of an online newsletter.

　　No one is smiling more than Larry Page,27，and Sergey Brin,26，who seem certain to become billionaires when the company goes public，probably sometime next year.They make a great comedy duo.When they first met as Ph.D.students，the pair say，they found each other horrible－“I still find him horrible，” adds Brin—but were driven together by a computer-science project aimed at coming up with better ways of searching the Web.

　　The idea behind Google is that traditional search engines are stupid.They think relevance is based on repetition: if you type in a request for Tiger Woods，say，you'll get websites listed according to how many times those words appear.Not only is this no guarantee of quality，but it's also open to abuse.If you own a Tiger fan site and want to lead more people to it，simply type his name thousands of times in the site's source code.

　　6．The first paragraph serves to________.

　　A．compare two websites

　　B．bring out the topic

　　C．put blame on Yahoo

　　D．give the background of the topic

　　【解析】　第一段告訴我們和雅虎相比，還有更好的搜索引擎(超級速度和準確性)，下文就是介紹的這一更好的搜索引擎：谷歌。由此可以看出，本段的主要作用就是引出下文。

　　【答案】　B

　　7．What does the underlined word “them” in the third paragraph refer to?

　　A．40 million times.

　　B．Achievements.

　　C．TV and newspaper ads.

　　D．Web pages.

　　【解析】　由語境可知，這里“them”就是指的上文的“a TV or newspaper ad”。

　　【答案】　C

　　8．Which of the following wins greater customer satisfaction?

　　A．Yahoo.

　　B．Google.

　　C．Page.

　　D．Brin.

　　【解析】　由第四段的第一句話“Yahoo still has 10 times the audience，but Google consistently ranks first in customer satisfaction：97% of users find what they're looking for most or all of the time.”可以看出，盡管雅虎擁有的用戶多，但是97%的顧客對谷歌滿意。由此可知答案。

　　【答案】　B

　　9．It can be inferred that Page and Brin________.

　　A．work for Google

　　B．are Tiger fans

　　C．hated each other

　　D．work for Yahoo

　　【解析】　在上文介紹完谷歌最受用戶滿意之后，接著介紹了這兩位：No one is smiling more than Larry Page,27，and Sergey Brin,26，who seem certain to become billionaires when the company goes public，probably sometime next year.由此可以看出這兩位是為Google工作的。

　　【答案】　A

　　10．We can learn from the last paragraph that________.
