三、阅读理解（30分）  
A[来源:学+科+网Z+X+X+K]
A city without cars will be very strange, right? Venice is such a city.

Travel
Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn’t built on land, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city. Even so, travel isn’t difficult. The waterways are always the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you to the place you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery* and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.

Problem
Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city goes down by 23 cm. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature* is getting higher over the years. This makes the ice of the Arctic Ocean* melt*. When a lot of water comes in autumn and winter every year, more than half of the city is underwater. Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower.

31. According to the passage, which picture shows the right place of Venice?

B
You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really eye-opening for me to study here.
In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, when I came to School, Connecticut, I got to know how different textbook English could be from everyday English.
When I first studied English, I learned to say, “I am fine.” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good.”or“I am tired.”[来源:学科网ZXXK]
One day, someone met me and said, “What’s up?” It made me confused*. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.
After that, I found more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.
To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan. However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin whiter.
I am also surprised by how hard-working US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.
The kids here are so talented. I am starting to be sorry that I stopped playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.
34. What does the underlined phrase “get a tan” in the sixth paragraph mean in Chinese?
A. become black B. become healthy C. become thin D. become strong

remember when it first making me feel uncomfortable -- my mom’s hands pushing my hair that way. But it did make me uncomfortable, for they felt rough on my your skin. Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, “Don’t do that anymore! Your hands are too tough!” she said nothing, but she didn’t do it again.
Years later, I missed my mother’s hands and her good-night kiss on my face. I’m not a little girl any more. My mom is in her mid-70s, and her rough hands are still doing things for my family and me. She’s like a doctor to us, always knowing how to calm a young girl’s stomach. She cooks the best chicken in the world.
Now my own children have grown up. It was late on Thanksgiving Eve. As I slept in my bedroom, a familiar hand ran across my face to push the hair from my head. Then a kiss, ever so gentle, touched my face.
Taking my mom’s hand, I told her how sorry I was for that night I shouted at her. But my mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had forgotten it long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.
