第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每小題2分，滿分40分）

第一節(jié) 閱讀下面的短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

A

Dear SJ,

Losing a best friend is never easy.

Your problem is not just that you miss your best friend; it is that you feel empty and lost without her friendship.

It takes time to get over a lost, and during that time, your mind is getting used to a new way of being. This is usually a good thing, even if it feels like a bad thing.

Now that you are on your own, you are being forced to learn to be by yourself and to rely upon your own inner voice for guidance. I am sure that this feels strange for you, but if you can hang on for a bit longer, it may work to your advantage.

Best friends are cool, but it is important to know the difference between missing someone and being too dependent upon them.

At your age, girls do tend to stick together and having a good boyfriend may not yet be the better choice. Your friend is leaving you, her best friend, for a boyfriend. Boyfriends are completely different from best friends. The difference is that boyfriends come and go, while girl friends often stay in your life throughout high school, and even afterwards. It is a completely different sort of relationship.

I suggest that you take advantage of this period in your life to expand your horizons. Enjoy the freedom of having no best friend for a while, and hang with the group. By the time your former best friend breaks up with her boyfriend, you will be in a completely different place, a far better place.

And, by the way, next time you feel empty and lost, try to write about it in a diary. In several months, you will look back and read it with curiosity about yourself. “Who was I then, and what could I have been thinking?”

56. Judging from the letter, SJ’s problem was that she didn’t know ______.

A. whether to give up her best friend         B. what to do without her best friend

C. whom to choose between two friends         D. how to stop missing her former friend

57. The underlined part “a new way of being” (in Paragraph 3) refers to the situation in which SJ has to ________.

A. find a new friendship                               B. live without her boyfriend

C. learn to give up                                            D. learn to be independent

58. The writer believes by the time SJ’s former friend loses her boyfriend, SJ will ______.

A. take revenge(報(bào)復(fù)) on her former friend      

B. comfort her former friend

C. feel more independent and confident       

D. continue friendship with her former friend

59. What does the last paragraph seem to suggest?

A. Unhappy experiences are easy to forget.   

B. Keeping a diary helps correct oneself.

C. SJ will get over her problem soon.         

D. One shouldn’t forget the past experiences.

                              B

We now think of chocolate as sweet, but once it was bitter. We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it is part of the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers.

Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say “Ugh!” and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.

The word “chocolate” comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to make a drink.

When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. No one had the idea of adding sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes. Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for the digestion.

     In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterwards, a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together. People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.

     Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip cookie. Favorite desserts are chocolate cream pie and of course an ice cream sundae with hot fudge sauce.

60. It was ______that discovered sugar could remove the bitter taste of cacao.

A. the workers in the chocolate factory          B. the Spaniards 

C. the people in England                           D. the owner of a chocolate factory.

61. According to the passage which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Nobody had the idea of adding sugar until the sixteenth century.

B. The word “chocolate” comes from a Mexican word.

C. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys like them.  

D. Workers must dry and roast the beans to remove the bitter taste.

62. It can be inferred from the passage that___________.

   A. chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or a candy bar 

B. Mexicans like chocolate very much             

C. chocolate is a product of the cacao tree  

D. people liked the taste of chocolate mixed with milk

63. Which is the right time order of the events regarding chocolate?

   a. Chocolate became a cheap and popular drink in England.

   b. A factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate.

   c. The Spaniards started drinking cacao.

   d. It was found that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao.

   e. A factory mixed milk and chocolate together.

   A. a-b-c-d-e           B. c-d-e-b-a                  

C. c-d-a-b-e                D. c-d-b-e-a

Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture. This process begins with the “honeymoon stage”. This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. We may be suffering from “jet lag” but we are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food. This stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are involved in some kind of great adventure.

    Unfortunately, the second stage can be more difficult. After we have settled down into our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to rejecting or pulling away from the new culture.

    The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”. This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. Your sense of humour usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor!

    The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. You can cope(deal) with most problems that occur. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.

64. This passage mainly talks about ________.

   A. culture and foreign language learning      B. adventures in a foreign land

   C. getting used to a new culture                D. the interaction of different cultures

65. Which of the following best describes the first stage?

   A. Lonely and depressed                            B. Bored and homesick

   C. Happy and excited                               D. Angry and frustrated

66. According to the passage, people are most likely to return to their own culture at the ________ stage.

   A. 1st                B. 2nd                       C. third               D. fourth

67. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.

   A. people feel better in their own culture

   B. it is not easy to adapt to a new culture

   C. culture shock doesn’t occur at the beginning

   D. it is human nature to long for adventures

  The legal age for drinking alcohol in the United States is 21.    71   Here we look at alcohol policies at American colleges and universities.

     72     But many schools have been moving to strengthen their rules.

   The United States has more than 17 million students in higher education. Each year, 1,700 of them aged 18 to 24 die from alcohol-related road accidents and other injuries.

   6000,000 more are injured while under the influence of alcohol, and almost 700,000 are attacked by another student who has been drinking.

   One behavior that college officials are trying to prevent is binge(狂歡)  drinking, having 4 or 5 drinks or more in a short period of time. Some researchers have found that students who think binge drinking is normal often overestimate(高估) how much other students really drink.   7 3    

   At the University of Oklahoma, new policies went into effect after a 19-year-old student died. He had been drinking heavily at a party.

   Now alcohol is not allowed in all fraternity(兄弟會(huì)) and sorority (女生聯(lián)誼會(huì)) houses and university housing. Student organizations can serve alcohol at events but only on Friday and Saturday nights, and they must provide transportation to and from off-campus parties.    74    

    The policies govern behavior on campus and off. With a first violation（違反）, students pay 75 dollars and their parents are told.    7 5    For a second “strike”, they have to pay 150 dollars. A third strike means they will be removed from school for at least one term.

A.     Underage drinking is a crime but also a common part of college social life.

B.      People under 21 will not be allowed to drink.

C.     These policies differ from school to school.

D.     A person can die of alcohol poisoning.

E.      When they are drinking, they always forget it.

F.       Other new requirements include an alcohol education program that first-year students take online.

G.    They must also take an alcohol education class.

Possible version

Dear Tom,

In your last e-mail, you showed a great interest in our National Stadium ―the Bird’s Nest. Now I’d like to introduce it to you.

The Bird’s Nest, which looks just like a bird’s nest made of tree branches, is located in the north of Beijing. It can hold about 90,000 spectators, covering an area of 58,000 square meters. The construction on it was started in December, 2003 and was completed in 2007. The Bird’s Nest, where the track and field events as well as soccer matches were held will be used for many other large events.

Kofi Annan, former secretary of the UN, gave the thumbs-up to its design and said that it would be a wonder in architecture in the history of the global Games.

I hope that my introduction will satisfy you.

Yours faithfully,

 Li Ming

(C )

How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments－mostly for entertainment purposes－is fair and respectful?
     Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats(棲息地). Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.
     Zoos claim(聲稱) to educate people and save endangered species(物種), but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range(分布區(qū)). The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.
     The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.
      Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding(圈養(yǎng)繁殖) of endangered big cats. Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?
      Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.
63．How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoos?
 A. Dangerous.       B. Unhappy.          C. Natural.            D. Easy.
64．In the state of zoochosis, animals _________.
 A. remain in cages                             B. behave strangely 
 C. attack other animals                       D. enjoy moving around
65．What does the author try to argue in the passage?
 A. Zoos are not worth the public support.
 B.   Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.
 C.   Zoos should treat animals as human beings.
 D.   Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.
66．Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that __________.
 A.   zoos have to keep animals in small cages
 B.   most animals in zoos are endangered species
 C.   some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos
 D. it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats

(D)

About ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.

He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and ― WHUMP! ― it hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH...!!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!" Building up a head of steam, he went on. "That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna (going to) cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?"

"Please, mister, please....I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do!" begged the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop!" tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the parked car. "It’s my brother, mister," he said. "He rolled of the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up. "Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman," Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.

Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE ― a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.

67. The boy threw a brick at the businessman’s car because ________.

A. the businessman drove at a high speed

B. he envied the brand-new car very much

C. he wanted to ask for some money

D. he wanted to get help from the driver

68. Which of the following is the right order of the story?

a. The younger brother threw a brick at Josh’s car.

b. The elder brother fell out of his wheelchair.

c. The younger brother begged Josh for help.

d. Josh lifted the elder brother back into his wheelchair.

A. b, a, e, c, d       B. a, c, d, b, e     C. b, a, c, e, d           D. a, c, b, e, d

69. What can we learn from the passage?
