　　A Chinese lawmaker from the booming eastern coastal province of Jiangsu has called the building of new countryside an issue of human rights in another sense．

　　“The new countryside should be prosperous, civilized and harmonious, and enjoy a comprehensive development, ”Ding Dawei, a deputy to the 10th National People’s Congress(NPC), the Chinese legislature(立法機(jī)關(guān))now in an annual full session in Beijing, said on Thursday．

　　According to Ding, also mayor of Nantong City in Jiangsu, the building of new countryside involves many human rights issues, such as farmers’ right to subsistence and development, as well as their rights to exercise democracy in village management．

　　“Just as the central government has stressed, farmers’ will must be fully respected in building new countryside．Local governments can only guide them to do the correct thing, and must not force them to do anything they don’t want to,” said Ding．

　　It might be easier to enrich the villages and farmers than to “help them achieve progress in the spiritual and political areas, ”Ding noted．

　　“I think the most important thing is to truly strengthen the democratic management of village affairs, which will offer a fundamental guarantee for farmers’ rights to education, culture, entertainment, medicare and basic social security, ”he said．

　　China’s 900 million farmers have gained the right to directly elect or oust their village heads since 1988, which gives them a bigger say in running village affairs．However, intervention in village elections by governments at higher levels, corrupt village heads abusing power, and the lack of transparency in village management often undermines rural democracy and even spark off rural unrest．

(1)

The building of new countryside involves many human rights issues, such as ________．

[　　]

A．

equal rights

B．

say no to any policy of the government

C．

extreme autonomy

D．

the right to subsistence and development

(2)

According to Ding Dawei, the construction of socialist new countryside is ________．

[　　]

A．

to value human rights in a new sense

B．

the requirement of the International Human Right Organization

C．

to give farmers rights to manage the new countryside

D．

to enrich the farmers

(3)

According to the text, which is the following not correct to the socialist?

[　　]

A．

One that develops quickly on all aspects．

B．

One in which people get along well with each other．

C．

People can do anything they wish to．

D．

One that is very rich and successful．

(4)

It can be concluded that in building the new countryside ________．

[　　]

A．

governments should offer farmers everything they want

B．

governments should help farmers as far as possible

C．

farmers should listen to governments on everything

D．

farmers will have rights to do anything at their will

(5)

The underlined words in the last paragraph mean ________．

[　　]

A．

to vote for their village heads

B．

to sing high praise for their village heads

C．

to criticize their village heads

D．

to force their village heads to leave

第三部分  閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）

第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world's 14 highest mountains.

His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia's snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.

"It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous," said Viesturs. "There's no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches (雪崩) and ice falls that protect the mountain."

In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog's tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog's story was of frostbite (凍傷) and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.

Viesturs got his start on Washington's Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the world's highest peaks. Finally, he's done.

The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. "You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it," said Viesturs. "If we have the patience and the respect, and if we're here at the right time, under the right circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down."

What's next for a man who can't stop climbing? "I'm going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer," says Viesturs. But for a man who's climbed the world's 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.

56．What record has Ed Viesturs set?

       A．He has succeeded in climbing to the world’s 14th highest mountain.

       B．He has been to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.

       C．He has become the first to climb to the height of 26,545 feet.

       D．He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.

57．The underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “______”.

       A．frightened       B．discouraged     C．interested        D．upset

58．The author used Viestures’ words in Paragraph 6 to support a view that ______.

       A．mountain climbing is a dangerous sport

       B．mountains should be regarded as living creatures

       C．mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy

       D．those who like mountain climbing won’t stop climbing

59．What’s the next probable plan of Viestures?

       A．Stopping climbing and staying with his family.

       B．Climbing to the top of the world’s 14 tallest mountains again.

       C．Climbing another one of the highest mountains.

       D．Writing down the experiences about his adventure.
