第三部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
（A）The Baima people— a minority
group of
some 1, 400 people who for centuries have
lived in northern Sichuan and southern Gansu
Provinces— have long depended on the forests as their main source of income. But since a logging (伐木作业) ban was introducedin the late 1990s to right yearly flooding, the villages have had to look for alternative livelihoods(生计). Several are now in the process of developing a small tourism industry as their lands are rich in forests and natural landscapes and border on the home of the giant panda. Xiangshujia, a village, in particular, is becoming a popular bed and breakfast center for tourists heading to Wanglang Nature Reserve to see China’s wildlife species close up. Visitors are also starting to take notice of the Baima themselves.
As our jeep stops in the courtyard of one of the brightly coloredwooden houses, we are greeted by the village leader Li Qin and young Baima girls dressed in traditional costumes with white feathers in their hair. As we take our place on low-wooden benches near an open fire, the girls break into traditional song as they serve us.
“The number of tourists is growing, ”said the village leader Li Qin. “We realize that to attract foreigners we have to show our cultural side, offering more traditional singing and dancing and ensuring our houses are built in the traditional way. ”
Relations between the Baima and the reserve were once tense following the 1998 logging ban as villagers had to make a new living, which included entering the Wanglang Nature Reserve to collect wild mushrooms and herbs, often at the expense of disturbing the panda’s habitat. But things dramatically improved as villagers started receiving training on how to market their communities to tourists.
“Our aim is to deter the villagers from disturbing the panda habitat by ensuring they had a sustainable alternative livelihood, including the poorest of families, ”emphasized Chen Youping, director of the Wanglang Nature Reserve.
“All the money from the reserve goes back into communityand conservation projects, ”said Chen Youping. “Our priority is first the animals and then ecotourism(生态旅游). ”
56. From the first paragraph, we can know that ______.
A. the logging ban had no effect on the Baima people’s life
B. the Baima people earn a living by looking after the forests
C. forests are the main source of firewood for the Baima people
D. the logging behavior of the Baima people caused yearly flooding
57. It can be inferred from the passage that the Baima girls wear their traditional costumes to greet visitors because ______.
A. they want to make themselves look more beautiful
B. their leader Li Qin asks them to do so
C. it’s a way to show their culture and attract visitors
D. it’s necessary before they offer the visitorstraditional songs and dances
58. The underlined word “deter”in Paragraph 6 probably means ______.
A. protect
B. prevent
C. benefit
D. encourage
59. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the Baima people and their ecotourism
B. the effects of the logging ban on the Baima people
C. how the Baima people developed their culture

（C） Until late in the 20th century, most Americans
spent time with people of different generations.
Now middle-aged Americans may not keep in
touch with old people until they are old themselves.
That’s because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers, our 13-year-olds in schools and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior citizen homes. Why?
We live away from the old for many reasons. Young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears of aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it’s so hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most.
Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the young.
A reporter moved her family to a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visitthem. Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. “My children have never been less lonely, ” the reporter said.
