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）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

The other day when I was passing a clothing store, I fell in love with a skirt. I knew it would suit me best at first sight. But when I looked at the price tag (标签), I knew I had to give it up.

The love for beautiful clothes has been planted in my heart the day when I was born to be a woman. Several years ago I read an article in a magazine. The article stated that when a woman is at her best time, she is usually poor or tasteless, so she can’t get the right clothes; when she can afford to buy the clothes she likes, she often finds that they do not suit her anymore.

On the way home, I was quite disturbed by such thoughts. It was just a pity, like many other pities. I thought to myself this way. But when I was about to enter the building where I was living, I saw the big mirror placed in the entrance. I saw a girl in it who was in cheap but cleanly washed sweater and jeans. She was rather young, healthy and energetic. For quite a while I was touched by what I had seen in the mirror.

Then I almost forgot the tale: A person without shoes cried until he saw a man without feet. Being young without good clothes is like the person without shoes. I should have felt grateful that I haven’t lost my feet.

31. How did the author feel when she decided not to buy the skirt?

A. Embarrassed. B. Wise. C. Regretful. D. Relieved.

32. We can learn from the text that the author considered her love for beautiful clothes as .

A. funny B. natural C. silly D. simple

33. The underlined word “She” in Paragraph 3 refers to .

A. the author’s friend B. a strangerC. the author’s roommateD. the author

34. Why was the author touched by what she saw in the mirror?

A. She came to realize what she really possessed.

B. She was reminded of her devotion to beauty.

C. She didn’t feel at ease when looking into a mirror.

D. She never thought over the other side of a person.

B

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.

Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.

Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain , people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter , can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food , therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.

35. We can infer from the text that humans and animals___________.

A. depend on one sense in choosing food B. are not satisfied with their food

C. choose food in similar ways D. eat entirely different food

36. Which of the following eats only one type of food?

A. A kind of white butterfly. B. The small bird.

C. The bear. D. The fox.

37. Certain animals change their choice of food when__________.

A. the season changesB. the food color changes

C. they move to different placesD. they are attracted by different smells

38. We can learn from the last paragraph that_________

A. food is chosen for a good reason

B. French and British food is good

C. some people have few choices of food.

D. some people care little about healthy diet.

C

The meaning of the word"volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means"one who offers his or her services.” There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.

At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta（加尔各答）. The following is her story.

 "I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I also wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks."

 "I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world."

39. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who ______.

A. is willing to help those in need without pay 

B. can afford to travel to different places

C. has a strong wish to be successful

D. has made a lot of money in life

40. Tracy started her work as a volunteer ______.

A. after she met Mother Teresa

B. after she finished high school

C. when she was touring Calcutta

D. when she was working in a hospital

41. Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?

A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa.

B. She had already had some experience.

C. She was asked by Mother Teresa.

D. She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.

42. What is Tracy’s “new idea” (Paragraph 2) of being a volunteer?

A. Going abroad to help the sick.

B. Working in Mother Teresa’s home.

C. Doing simple things to help the poor.

D. Improving oneself through helping others.

D

Many people are surprised when they find the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system（系统）had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.

At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use.

Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.

The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.

43. The Internet has a history of __________ years.

A. less than 40 B. about 50 C. about 30 D. only 20

44. At first computer networks _________.

A. were used widely B. went wrong easily

C. worked quite well D. were very popular

45. Computers become cheaper and easier to use in the _________.

A. 1960s B. 1970s C. 1980s D. 1990s

根据短文内容，从短文后面的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余项。

When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. 46 She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.

Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. 47 However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.

Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. 48 Daughter Elisabeth explains,"Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. 49"

Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. 50

A. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young.

B. Now they are a big success.

C. The An family opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles.

D. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.

E. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful.

F. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family.

G. We love our family.

Today, more and more people in the world take part in volunteering. It’s very meaningful and wonderful. In my opinion, we can gain a lot from the activity.

First, we can help others who are in trouble. We can understand better with each other. The smiles of the people can make us feel happy and encourage us in return. Second, we can have a better understanding of the world, such as the earth, animals, environment and so on. A lot of knowledge can be gained in our mind. Third, during volunteering, we can acquire much experience. We can open our hearts when communicating with others. We can handle the difficulties better and more effectively. Of course, we can gain a lot more besides what are mentioned above. So, let’s go to be a volunteer.
