第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在正确选项上划勾。

A

We buried Donald Brown last May. He was murdered by four men who wanted to rob the supermarket manager he was protecting. Partolman Brown was 61 years old. In just six months he and his wife had planned to retire to Florida. Now there will be no retirement in the sun, and she is alone.

Donald Brown was the second police officer to die since I became Police Commissioner of Boston in 1972. The first was Detective John Schroeder, shot in a pawnshop (当铺) robbery in November 1970. John Schroeder was the brother of Walter Schroeder, who was killed in a bank robbery in 1970. Their names are together on the honor roll in Police Headquarters.

At least two of these police officers were shot by a handgun, the kind almost anyone can buy nearly everywhere for a few dollars. Ownership of handguns has become so widespread that this weapon is no longer merely the instrument of

crime；it is now a cause of violent crime. Of the 11 Boston police officers killed since 1962, seven were killed with handguns；of the 18 wounded by guns since 1962, 17 were shot with handguns.

Gun advocates are fond of saying that guns don't kill, people do. But guns do kill. Half of the people who commit suicide do so with handguns. Fifty-four percent of the murders committed in 1972 were committed with handguns.

No one can convince me, after returning from patrolman Brown's funeral, that we should allow people to own handguns. I know that many Americans feel deeply and honestly that they have a right to own and enjoy guns. I am asking that they give them up. I am not asking for registration or licensing, or the outlawing of cheap guns. I am saying that no private citizen, whatever his claim, should possess a handgun. Only police officers should.

56. The suggestion the author presents in the passage is that _____.

A. handguns are the cause of violent crime

B. handguns are a dangerous weapon

C. American people's right to own and enjoy guns should be respected

D. only police officers should possess guns

57. In paragraph 1,the tone of the author is _____.

A. calm

B. bitter

C. exciting

D. regretful

58. According to the author, which is true of handguns?

A. They don't kill.

B. We should not allow people to own handguns.

C. Anyone can easily buy a handgun at a very high price.

D. Handguns can't be the cause of violent crime.

59. The passage is mainly aimed to _____.

A. persuade the government

B. describe police officers' death

C. tell the robbers' means to kill policeman

D. explain means of people's possession of guns

B

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “And Paul-why didn’t pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, It’s too late.

Why do we go wrong about our friends – or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” that’s being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that they doesn’t think you deserve your luck.

“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for ” is another noise that says one thing and means anot her. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture (姿态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

60. This passage is mainly about ________.

A. how to interpret what people say

B. what to do when you listen to others talking

C. how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people

D. Why we go wrong with people sometimes

61. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that

________.

A. We fail to listen carefully when they talk

B. People tend to be annoyed when we check what they say

C. People usually state one thing but means another

D. We tend to doubt what our friends say

62. In the sentence “Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.” In the second paragraph, the

pronoun “it” refers to ________.

A. being friendly

B. a bit of envy

C. lucky dog

D. your luck

63. When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is _________.

A. notice the way the person is talking

B. take a good look at the person talking

C. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes

D. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and

his posture

C

My father's reaction to the bank building at 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City was immediate and definite: "You won't catch me putting my money in there!" he declared. "Not in that glass box!"

Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture（建筑）is upsetting, but I am convinced that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money.

In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity (实物) that could be carried, or stolen. So, to attract the custom of a sensible man, a bank had to have heavy walls, barred windows, and bronze doors, to affirm the fact, however untrue, that money would be safe inside. If a building's design made it appear impenetrable(无法穿透的) the institution was necessarily reliable, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architecture symbol dwelt in the popular attitude toward money.

But that attitude toward money has of course changed. Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used；money as a tangible commodity has largely been replaced by credit. A deficit（赤字）economy, accompanied by huge expansion, has led us to think of money as a product of the creative imagination. The banker no longer offers us a safe: he offers us a service -- a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity necessary for the generation of greater

wealth. It is in no way surprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are watching the disappearance of the

heavy-walled bank.

Just as the older bank emphasized its strength, this bank by its architecture boasts(吹嘘) of its imaginative powers. From this point of view it is hard to say where architecture ends and human assertion（人们的说法）begins.

64. The main idea of this passage is that _________.

A. money is not as valuable as it might have been in the past

B. the architectural style of the older bank is superior to that of the modern bank

C. changes have taken place in both the appearance and the concept of banks

D. prejudice makes the older generation think that the modern bank is unreliable

65. What are the attitudes of the older generation and the younger generation toward

money?

A. The former thinks more of it than the latter.

B. The younger generation values money more than the older generation.

C. Both generations rely on the imaginative power of bankers to make money

whatever the bank might look like.

D. The former regards it as a real commodity while the latter considers it to be a

means to produce more money.

66. The word "tangible" refers to something __________.

A. that is usable

B. that can be touched

C. that is precious

D. that can be reproduced

67. It can be inferred from the passage that the author's attitude towards the new trend

in banking is ________.

A. cautious

B. positive

C. regretful

D. hostile

Each year, millions of people go abroad to work, study, or travel. It's a great way to find out what life is like in another part of the world! You're probably hoping to make new friends and learn about the culture in your host country everything from attitudes and beliefs to social customs and popular foods. But constantly having to deal with new situations can be frustrating, even stressful.

Homesickness, stress, fear, and confusion are all symptoms of "culture shock." At first, you may feel like getting on the plane and heading home. It's OK to have those feelings, but the following are some tips to help you handle the challenges that you will face.

Don't expect to be perfect. You may feel frustrated that you have culture shock, especially since you probably spent so much time preparing for your trip. No matter how much information you read, or how well you speak the host language, it is natural to feel overwhelmed sometimes. If you give yourself some time, things will gradually get easier.

Have an open mind. While it's certainly OK to feel frustration or confusion in your new surroundings, try not to form an opinion about the new culture too soon. Don't think of the host culture as better or worse, just different - you'll be more

willing to try new things.

Participate. This is obvious, but everybody needs to be re minded. Just watching life go on around you isn’t good enough. You really need to try things for yourself. Don’t worry about making a mistake；people in your host country will generally be very understanding and willing to help if you have questions.

Your study abroad experience is a unique and special time in your life, one that you'll never forget. If you follow our suggestions, you'll be able to handle it well, and have a wonderful time. Good luck!

How can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?

These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that men might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source.

For a long time people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. But garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas；but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.

Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city’s garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of

oil!

But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel. Garbage that burns easily, such as food scrapes and paper, must be separated from metals, glass, and other materials that do not burn easily. This separation process is normally costly. Another problem is that burning garbage can pollute the air.

Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.

73. What two problems can be solved by burning garbage?

A. The shortage of energy；air pollution.

B. The shortage of energy；the shortage of empty land for holding garbage.

C. Air pollution；the shortage of empty land for holding garbage.

D. Air pollution；the shortage of fossil fuel.

74. Which of the following is NOT a result of burning garbage?

A. The heat produced is used to boil water.

B. The steam produced is used to make electricity.

C. The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels.

D. The steam produced is used to heat buildings.

75. According to the passage, which of the following four groups of garbage is ready

for burning ?

A. food scraps and metals

B. paper and glass

C. metals and glass

D. food scraps and paper

写作

Possible version:

Along with the city development, the transport system is also changing. We did a survey on the different transportations.

According to the result, people more and more prefer convenient transportations, like taxi, which doubled in the past year. Besides, private cars have been increasing rapidly with the high living standard. While public bus, which is considered the main transport in the city, now is thought by most people dirty and crowded. But on the other hand, bicycle, as another traditional transportation, is still widely accepted for its convenience and benefit to people’s health.

In a word, people are enjoying an easier and more convenient life.

解析：

21．A。over表示“与……相关，关于”，在此句中译成“为那个有趣的故事大笑起来。”

24．C。remain是不及物动词，不能使用被动语态。

25．A。Not receiving是现在分词做原因状语，分词的否定应在分词前加not。

27．C。though可放在句末，做副词，表示转折语气。yet做转折连词时，应该放在句首。

28．B。be admitted to是固定搭配，表示“被允许进入”，to是介词，后面应加名词。

29．D。spend some time doing sth., 所以后面应使用动名词；lock表达的是“我”的状态，应该是I was locked in my study, 所以应使用被动结构。

31．A。be 动词后的表语从句缺少主语，所以使用“what”。

33．D。在疑问句中表示推测，应使用“can”；是对过去情况的推测，所以使用can have done。

35．C。因为后面的句子中用了would rather do sth. 的结构，所以对前文应该是否定语气。Anything but that表示“除了那个什么都行”。

37．C。选择表示语气的副词，应该根据上下文的语境，注意语气的顺畅，连贯。

39．C。fall 与into 搭配，表示“坠入，陷入某种状态”。

40．A。注意定语从句的使用，应修饰前面的名词way, 所以应是the way of life goes ……表示“生活之路往……去/走”。

41．D。yet 和but 都可表转折语气，但yet是副词，but是连词，此处应使用连词。

42．B。否定句中表并列应用or。

44．D。down 在此处表示“使沮丧，使情绪低落”的意思，类似的表达法还有：The news let/made me down。

47．A。as引起时间状语从句，主句与从句中的两个动作没有明显的先后顺序，所以可使用as和while。而while表示“当的时候”时，后面通常用进行时，所以as更合适。

48．C。动词的辨析，step比walk更具体，细节化，更适合文中的情景。

50．D。give off表示“放出，发出（光/热/气等）。

52．D。名词辨析，goal和dream是近义词，但goal 更强调目标，而与reality相对，dream 更适合。

53．C。选择slowly是因为与前文情景相适合，表示许愿后睁开眼睛，所以suddenly和quickly都不合适，

gradually表示“循序渐进地”。

56．D。本题是针对文章大意的题目，所以应注意对文章整体的把握。59题也是如此。

60．C。本篇应注意文章中心句的把握，及每段的中心句。比如第一段的第一句话基本已经点出了文章的中心。

而下文关于我们可能所犯错误的详细描述都是为了最终给出建议如何解决这个问题。

62．B。注意这种在文中解释词义的题目一定要把上下文读通，在文中理解其含义。it是对上文提到的事物的指

代，结合上文，应是指前句中的envy。

67．B。文章主要陈述了新老两代人对银行的不同态度，以第一人称行文，所以作者的态度即是文中年轻人的态

度。

71．C。注意题目问的是不正确的答案，此题出错大多数是因为审题不仔细。

75．D。选项中虽然有生词，但不应该影响选择，可以从文中确切知道词汇的含义。
