第三部分：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 四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该
选项涂黑。
A
It is a well-known fact that in Rome, undiscovered treasures may lie more than 30 feet below the
surface．Therefore, building an underground subway in the city of Rome is not an easy thing．
Compared to other European capitals, Rome’s subway is far less developed．For years, Rome’s 2．8
million citizens relied only on two subway lines that fell short of meeting the city’s transportation
needs．Being one of the oldest cities in the world, the construction of a subway faces the problem of the
shortage of money but especially protecting the underground treasures．
During the construction of the first two subway lines in the 1950’s, each excavation（挖掘） exposed
archaeological（考古的） remains and the construction had to be stopped to allow the local archaeologists to
check them to see whether the discovery proved valuable to the history of the Romans．
After years of debate, work began on a third subway line．Now that the third subway line is under
construction, it has been marked as an “archaeological survey” from the very beginning and great care is
being taken．This new line will run through the very heart of the ancient city．It will be 24 kilometers in length
and 25 to 30 meters below ground．
Archaeologists are working together with construction workers to excavate beneath Rome’s
center．Almost immediately, excavation uncovered some wonderful finds．They dug one layer deeper and
this exposed a 10th century’s road that once crossed the city, one layer below which, they discovered a
pavement（人行道） from the 8th century．Near the ancient Forum, workers discovered a sixth-century
copper factory．The early factory consisted of small ovens（炉子） used to work on copper．Small copper
masses discovered at the scene were sent for analysis．The workers found the base of an imperial Roman
public building．
There isn’t an inch of Rome that doesn’t have some artifacts below．Like their ancestors, today’s
Romans have found a way to protect the old while creating the new．
56．The main problem that the Romans have to solve is________．
A．how to get a great deal of money to build a third subway line
B．how to bring in new technology to build a third subway line
C．how to make the transportation in Rome more popular with tourists
D．how to build a third subway line without destroying their artifacts
57．Why is a third subway line expected to be built in the city of Rome?
A．Because archaeologists want to research the wonderful ancient underground systems．
B．Because its present subway lines are not enough to meet the city’s transportation needs．
C．Because the officials of Rome expect to discover the valuable treasures while building it．
D．Because Rome’s citizens prefer the subway lines to the other transportation forms．
58．We can infer that the building of the third subway line ________．
A．has been argued by a lot of people for a long time B．is an easy thing for many people want it to be built
C．has no any difficulty for the government supports it D．will be impossible for Romans protect their artifacts
59．What can we learn from the passage?
A．The large copper masses discovered at the scene were valuable．
B．A copper factory which was built in the 8th century was uncovered．
C．Archaeologists’ excavation began with the construction beneath Rome’s center．
D．A pavement from the 8th century was over a 10th century’s road．
B
Students like to use their time in many different ways．This can be a window into the way they treat the
rest of their lives．
First, examine the student who does homework．The class that they attend ends．They leave their desk,
and make their way to the next classroom．They do not waste time talking to friends, and do not wander
about．By studying, they show that they are prepared．They won’t be caught off guard by a pop quiz（突击
