第三部分閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿(mǎn)分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和0）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
It’s always awkward when you meet someone from a different country．You never know whether to shake hands, bow or even whether to kiss on the cheek．But what if you were a dog?
If you are a dog owner, you must be familiar with how your dog says hello to you．Seconds after you arrive home, your dog jumps up on you．You come face to face with a tail-wagging, wildly excited ball of fur that can’t get enough of you．If you’re not happy with that, it will shower you with wet “kisses” perhaps ruining your best shirt．
Like humans, dogs have five senses: smell, touch, sight, hearing and taste．
Unlike humans, dogs use smell rather than sight to identify others around them．A dog’s sense of smell is thousands of times better than that of humans．Your dog can’t just tell what a human being smells like, but it can also tell the difference between different members of its human family by their smell．
They also greet each other this way, not eye to eye, but nose to nose．
To be precise, when they first meet each other, they start with a quick sniff of each other’s noses．Then they will go side to side, working their way towards the back end．
Dogs smell everything they can during a walk．They sniff grass, bushes, trees and signposts．By doing this, dogs know not only what they are looking at, but which other neighborhood dogs have been around lately．
So next time you see your dog sniffing the wrong end of another dog, don’t regard it as a bad habit．They are greeting each other．
56．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．It tells readers how to take good care of dogs．
B．It tells readers what to do to make dogs happy．
C．It tells readers how dogs greet others．
D．It tells readers what dogs do to amuse owners．
57．The phrase “shower you with” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means ______．
A．help you take a bath with
B．frighten you with
C．show you his anger by using
D．cover you with
58．The 2nd paragraph is written mainly to tell readers ____．
A．how dogs greet their owner
B．that dogs like jumping up on people
C．that dogs enjoy ruining their owners' shirt
D．how dogs show their love
59．How does a dog say hello to another one?
A．By sight．              B．By both sight and smell．
C．By smell．             D．By sight and touch．
60．Which of the following statements is wrong?
A．By sniffing, dogs can tell any other dog that has been around lately．
B．It’s a good habit for a dog to sniff the wrong end of another one．
C．Two strange dogs will begin with a quick sniff of the each other’s noses．
D．A dog’s sense of sight is thousands of times better than that of humans．

Of all the animals in the animal kingdom, which one (aside from man) is the cleverest?
There are several ways of measuring the intelligence of animals. In one test a scientist sets three same cans on a table. While the animal watches, he puts food under one of the cans. Then he leads the animal away. Some time later, he brings it back to see if it remembers which can has the food. No smelling is allowed; the animal must go directly to the correct can or it fails.
This is called a delayed- response text. The idea is to find out how long an animal’s memory can keep information. The scientists would try showing the cans to the animal one hour later, or two hours later, or even a full day later. They discovered that chimpanzees and elephants had the best memory, and were able to remember the correct can for at least twenty hours. No other animal is close. Dogs came next, but they only remembered for nine hours.
To settle the matter, the scientists designed a huge maze (迷宮) and ran the chimps  and elephants through it. The maze was very difficult, with many blind paths and dead ends. It took the chimps (chimpanzees) ten minutes to find their way out. The elephants needed half an hour. Even allowing for the elephants’ slower rate of speed, the test shows that chimpanzees are the cleverest animals.
From this and other tests, the scientists drew the following conclusion: an animal’s intelligence depends on the size of its brain in proportion (比例) to the size of its body. The elephant’s brain weighs ten pounds. But this is only 1/600th of its 6,000 pounds body. A chimp’s brain weighs about one pound, or 1/120th of its total body weight. So in proportion to its body size, the chimp has four times as much brain as the elephant----more brain for less body. The chimp is the champ!
小題1:Which is the best title ?
A．The Elephant’s MemoryB．The Cleverest Animal
C．Judging IntelligenceD．The Chimp’s Brain
小題2:The main idea of this passage is that ________.
A．there are several ways of measuring the intelligence of animals
B．chimps and elephants have the best memory
C．intelligence tests show that the chimp is the cleverest animal
D．the scientists designed a huge maze and ran the chimps and elephants through it
小題3:The delayed-response test is designed to test an animal’s________.
A．eyesightB．intelligenceC．learning abilityD．memory
小題4:The passage tells that elephants ________.
A．never forget thingsB．a(chǎn)re more clever than chimps
C．a(chǎn)re slower-moving than chimpsD．have better memories than chimps
小題5:According to the passage, a rhinoceros (犀牛) that weighs 2100 pounds, and has a 3-pound brain is
________.
A．a(chǎn)s clever as a chimpB．more clever than an elephant
C．less clever than an elephantD．a(chǎn)s clever as an elephant

Then I did the same for Counsel,and we continued to swim near each other.
But we were in serious trouble.The crew（船員）might not have noticed our disappearance.
And if they had,they could not return because the rudder（舵）had broken.Counsel thought of all this,and calmly made his plans.We decided to wait for the ship as long as possible,because we had no other hope of safety.I suggested that we save our strength so that both of us would not be tired out at the same time.This was how we did it:While one of us lay on his back,quite still,with arms crossed and legs stretched out（伸直）,the other would swim and push him along.We changed every ten minutes or so.In this way we could swim for hours,perhaps till daylight.The crash（破裂聲）of the ship and the whale（鯨）had appeared at about eleven o’clock.We had about eight hours to swim before daylight.This seemed possible,if the sea remained calm.

Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days’ holiday with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented （租） a cottage in the country, although he hardly spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it. Many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked （漏水）, Cwet.
On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories our uncle told of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting stories, He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash（倒塌聲） from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.

Have you ever noticed advertisements which say “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send…” and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that. The only language that is easy to learn is one’s mother tongue. And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War people usually learnt a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country.
Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year millions of people start learning one. How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and records of tapes; some use radio or television programs; some use computers and network; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time, like learning a foreign language at school. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken.
However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student’s work for him.
小題1:According to some advertisements, you ______ .
A．have to pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks.
B．needn’t pay you money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks
C．must pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks
D．will be paid much money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks
小題2:Now most people try to learn a foreign language in order to ______.
A．read the literature of the countryB．read books and reports
C．do their work betterD．go to foreign countries
小題3:Learning a foreign language is a hard job ______.
A．only for scientists and doctorsB．only for the students at school
C．for those people at homeD．for most people

　   Leo married my mother when I was 1l, two years later we moved into a house in a new suburban development. At first our lawn (草坪) was just a mud pile with a few untidy clumps of grass, but Leo saw bright possibilities. "Your mother wants flowers; she can plant them here, where there's lots of sun," he said, "We'll plant trees over there, to give us shade. And in the backyard, I'd like a barbecue.” Then he smiled. "After so many years of apartment living, now we can have cookouts (野餐)!”
Weekday mornings when the weather was bad, Leo often drove me to school. Having a father drop you off may have been taken for granted, but I always thought it was wonderful. During dinner, Leo would tell my brother and me stories about his job and we'd talk about our friendship and school-work.. "If you need any help, just ask me," he would say. "But I doubt that you need it. You two are so clever."
Some people might think that doing errands (差事) and eating meals together are nothing special, but , I , who had spent my childhood watching other families do these everyday activities before, enjoyed them now with great delight. Looking back, I realize that Leo gave me what I needed most--the experience of doing ordinary things together as a family.
One day, we learned that my "real" father -- who hadn't seen or supported my brother or me for more than five years --- wanted to see us again, on a regular basis. We remembered too well the early years we had spent with him. He had been angry and cruel, violent and unloving. Since my brother was then 17 years old, he didn't have to follow family-court rules. But because I was still a "minor", I had to meet with the judge.
When Leo, my mother, and I entered the courtroom, my "real" father was already present. I avoided his look and told the judge I was one of a new family now, and that Leo taught me how to make things, that he always listened to me and never raised his voice. I said I didn't want to see my "real" father any more because he had never shown any love for me or even much attention.
The judge looked at Leo. "How are things going?" he asked.
"They couldn't be better," Leo answered. "I'm a lucky man to have such a family."
Aren’t the best parents also good friends to their children, accepting them without reservation and telling them they can be counted on? Step families aren't bound by traditional ties, so the love and friendship they develop is extremely precious. Was Leo "perfect''? He'd deny it if I said so. And that's one reason why he was so "perfect" to me.     
Soon after we moved to the suburb, one of our new neighbors introduced herself to me. She had already met my mother and Leo. "You know," she remarked, "you look just like your father."
I knew she was just making conversation---- but even so...
"Thank you," I said.
Why tell her anything different?
67. What is the best title for the story?
A. My childhood               B. My “Real father”, My Enemy
C. My Stepfather, My Friend      D. Precious Friendship
68. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Leo had lived in a large house alone in the country before he married my mother.
B. Thanks to Leo, our lawn took on a new look.
C. Before Leo came. I was always picked up by my "real" father when the weather was bad.
D. Leo wouldn’t like to help my brother and me because we were very clever.
69. What was very important to step families according to the writer?
A. Love and friendship                B. Care and respect
C. Wealth and understanding           D. Politeness and kindness
70. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. My "real" father’s request was refused and he was out of my life.
B. My mother and "real" father didn’t separate until my brother was 17.
C. Leo was no one special in my life.
D. Leo and I were so alike that my neighbors couldn’t tell us apart.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
I’ve written 14 movies. My characters smoke in many of them, and they look cool and glamorous doing it. Smoking was an integral（必需的） part of many of my screenplays because I was a heavy smoker. It was part of a bad-boy image I’d cultivated for a long time— smoking, drinking, partying, rock ’n’ roll.
Smoking, I once believed, was every person’s right. The second-hand smoke was non-existent problem invented by professional do-gooders. I put all these views into my plays.
Remembering all this, I find it hard to forgive myself. I have been an accomplice (幫兇) to the murders of untold numbers of human beings. I am admitting this only because I have made a deal with God. Spare me, I said, and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did.
Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smoking. I am alive but disabled. Much of my larynx (喉) is gone. I have some difficulty speaking; others have some difficulty understanding me.
I haven’t smoked or drunk for 18 months now, though I still take it day by day and pray for help. I believe in prayer and exercise. I have walked five miles a day for a year, without missing even one day. Quitting smoking and drinking has taught me the hardest lesson I’ve ever learned about my own weakness; it has also given me the greatest affection and empathy(同感) for those still addicted.
I don’t think smoking is every person’s right anymore. I think smoking should be as illegal as heroin. I’m no longer such a bad boy. I go to church on Sunday. I’m desperate to see my four boys grow up. I want to do everything I can to undo the damage I have done with my own big-screen words and images.
Screen writers know, too, that some movie stars are more likely to play a part if they can smoke —because they are so addicted to smoking that they have difficulty stopping even during the shooting of a scene.
My hands are bloody; so are Hollywood’s. My cancer has caused me to attempt to cleanse me. I don’t wish my fate upon anyone in Hollywood, but I beg that Hollywood should stop putting it upon millions of others.
1. The main idea of this passage probably is _________.
A. the writer is ashamed of the bad effects his screenplays have had on human beings
B. the writer’s smoking experience nearly killed himself
C. the bad effects that Hollywood screenplay have brought to children
D. the determination of the writer to overcome his illness
2. How do you think the writer has realized his mistake?
A. So many people have found the habit of smoking due to his plays.
B. His plays have brought great harm to teenagers.
C. He himself suffered greatly from smoking.
D. His screenplays have been doing more and more harm to human beings.
3. What is the writer determined to do in future?
A. He has made up his mind to give up smoking forever.
B. He will try his best to prevent others from writing screen plays encouraging smoking.
C. He will try his best to bring up his four children.
D. He has decided to write his screenplays without smoking scenes.
4. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. the writer will soon be recovered from his illness thanks to his exercise
B. the writer will soon die because of his deadly disease
C. smoking will be got rid of in all Hollywood films
D. smoking in Hollywood films is still doing great harm to human beings
