The British are the most voracious (求知欲强烈的) newspaper readers in the world. They read newspapers at 36 ; they walk to the bus reading a newspaper; they read a newspaper on the 37 as they go to work; and on the way back home, after work, they read an evening 38 .
There are many daily newspapers in 39 . All the nine national daily newspapers are 40__ in London, and all appear every 41 except on Sundays.

The main headlines（标题） have nothing to do with 52__ news at all. And there are a few, especially The Times, the Guardian and the Observer, which are of the greatest importance in both guiding and expressing the free 53 of very important people.
Nearly all papers pay special attention to the 54 of sports and games. The evening newspapers are often bought because the reader wants to know the winner of a race, or to get a good trip for a 55 that is still to be run.

第三部分： 阅读理解（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。
A
About a year ago, I went to stay at a Detroit hotel. I didn’t want to carry too much money with me, so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred- dollar bill in the safe for me.
The next morning, however, the clerk said he knew nothing about my money. I didn’t have any proof that I had given the man the money. There was nothing I could do but go to the nearest lawyer.
The lawyer advised me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the clerk. This I did. An hour later, I went back to the desk and asked for my money. Since I had the lawyer as an eyewitness to the second hundred-dollar bill, the clerk could not say he knew nothing about it.
Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer’s plan into action. This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel. I asked for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and when the clerk insisted he had already given it to me, I denied（否认）it. The lawyer said to him, “I saw this gentleman give you a hundred dollars. If you don’t hand it over immediately, I’ll be forced to call the police.”
The clerk realized he had been tricked, so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.
“I don’t know how to thank you enough for getting my money back,” I said to the lawyer. And what you suppose he answered?
He said, “Oh, don’t thank me. That will be a hundred dollars, please.”
56. The man went to a Detroit hotel one day to___________.
A. get his money back B. put a hundred-dollar bill in the safe
C. ask to be a desk clerk D. stay for the night
57. The hotel clerk at last returned the first hundred-dollar bill to the man because _________.
A. he knew the lawyer’s plan very well B. he found the lawyer tricking him
C. he didn’t want to get into trouble with the police D. he wanted to give the man a surprise
58. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The man didn’t get his 200 dollars back.
B. The lawyer was happy that the man got both his bills back.
C. The lawyer asked for 100 dollars.
D. The man thanked the lawyer by paying him some money.
59. The man was _______.
A. wise B. foolish C. happy D. sad

A Letter to Editor of TV Weekly
Dear Sir/Madam,
I read Alison Burnham’s review of When We Were 12, and I do not agree with her. I thought the programme was wonderful . I found the old news pictures really interesting . They helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling.
The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood. For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself (this was the late 1960s). My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket. I held out my hand with the money in it — one big coin on top of one little coin. The bus conductor took the big top coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey. I needed a white one for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything. When school finished for the day, I couldn’t catch the bus home — I had to walk. As a grown-up, whenever I’ve been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride comes back to me, and I’m able to take control of the situation.
I would like to say to the director, Bret Chrysler, carry on making this kind of programme. Too much TV these days is quiz shows and so called “reality programmes”. I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry.
Yours faithfully,
Chris Daniels
60. What is Chris Daniels’ purpose of writing this letter?
A. To persuade Bret Chrysler to turn away from quiz shows.
B. To entertain other readers with old news pictures.
C. To express his appreciation of the programme.
D. To have his story told on the programme.
61. According to the passage, Chris Daniels had to walk home because .
A. he hadn’t got a return ticket B. he had lost his bus ticket
C. he didn’t like big crowds D. he missed the bus home
62. What does Chris Daniels now think about his experience on the bus?
A. He should have told the conductor then. B. He should have been well treated.
C. He regrets going to school alone. D. He wishes it hadn’t happened.
C
When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.
People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts(白内障) and remove them.
When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.
63.We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ________.
A. we think about our eyes B. we cannot see clearly
C. we wear glasses D. we have to do much reading
64.According to the passage, a ________ is more likely to be nearsighted.
A. tailor B. doctor C. guard D. painter
65.People who are farsighted ________ .
A. cannot do a lot of close work without glasses
B. can only see things that are very close to their eyes
C. have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s length
D. have the same problem as the nearsighted people
66.To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ________ .
A. with wide open eyes B. with half shut or narrowed eyes
C. straight at it D. in a slightly different direction
D
Everyone has an ambition（志向）to travel. But those who cannot do so themselves might find it interesting to work in a travel agency（旅行社）, arranging journeys for other people. Brain Lawley does this, working in a small travel agency in an industrial city. Most of his work is concerned（有关）with holidays, both at home and abroad. Every autumn, the agency sends out hundreds of booklets（小册子）full of attractive coloured photographs, describing the holidays that their customers will be able to have next year. Soon people begin to come into the office to book their holidays: perhaps a week’s skiing in Austria in January, perhaps a cruise（巡游）to the Caribbean in February, perhaps a seaside holiday in Spain in May, or a tour to North Africa, Brain often has to advise people on what holidays will be suitable for them, and they always have a lot of questions. Last year, for example, a lady of eighty-two wanted to book for a mountaineering（登山）holiday in the Alps, and Brain had great difficulty in persuading her that it would not be suitable. In the end, she decided to go for a Mediterranean cruise instead.
Arranging journeys for people who have to travel abroad on business is often very complicated（复杂）, but Brain enjoys this work. For example, last spring Mr. Perry, a director of a local chemical firm, went on a business trip, and Brain arranged it all for him. First, Mr. Perry traveled to London by train, and stayed overnight in a hotel near the airport, because his plane left nearly the next morning. He flew to Frankfurt, in Germany, where he spent the morning discussing business. Then he went on by train to Zurich, where he stayed the night. After a meeting the next morning, he caught a plane for Tokyo, and spent three days there before going to America. He had business in Seattle, Chicago and New York, and stayed some time in each of those places. From New York, he flew back to London and then went home by train. The next day he telephoned the agency to thank Brain for arranging everything so well for him.
67．Who would like to work in travel agency?
A．People who live an industrial city. B．People who would like to travel but cannot.
C．Ambitions people. D．The people who go on holidays abroad.
68．When do customers come into the office to book their holidays?
A．Early in the morning. B．Every year.
C．In January. D．Shortly after receiving the booklet.
69．Mr. Perry telephoned the agency to thank Brain because _______.
A．Mr. Perry arranged everything so well for Brain
B．Brain arranged everything so well for him
C．the agency sent Mr. Perry abroad on business
D．Brain helped him in the travel agency
70．How was Mr. Perry’s journey arranged?
a. Fly to Tokyo b. To Frankfurt c. Back home by train
d. Fly back to London e. To Zurich by train
f. Have business in Seattle, Chicago and New York g. To London by train
A．g, b, a, f, e, d, c B．c, b, a, g, e, f, d
C．g, b, e, a, f, d, c D．f, e, a, b, g, c, d
