三、阅读理解 （2×20 分）
A
Tom was a clever boy, but his parents were poor, so he had to work in his spare time and during his holidays to pay for his education. In spite of this, he managed to get to the university, but it was so expensive to study there that during the holiday he found it necessary to get two jobs at the same time so as to make enough money to pay for his studies.
One summer he managed to get a job in a butcher’s shop(肉店)during the day-time, and another in a hospital at night. In the shop, he learnt to cut meat quite nicely, so the butcher often left him to do all the serving while he went to the back room to do the accounts(账目). In the hospital , on the other hand, he was , of course , allowed to do the simplest jobs, like helping to lift people and to carry them from one part of the hospital to another. Both at the butcher’s shop and at the hospital, Tom had to wear white clothes.
One evening at the hospital, Tom had to carry a woman from her bed to the place where she was to have an operation. The woman was already feeling frightened at the thought of the operation before he came to get her, but when she saw Tom, that finished her. “No! No!” she cried. “Not my butcher! I won’t be operated on by my butcher!” and fainted away(昏厥).
46.Tom made enough money by ________.
A. studying in the university B. working in a butcher’s shop
C. doing two jobs D. cutting meat well
47.Tom was a student, but at the same time he was__________.
A. a doctor B. a manager and a doctor C. an assistant D. a manager
48.The woman patient recognized Tom because ____________.
A. he was wearing white clothes B. he had sold meat to her
C. he was now working in the hospital D. he was going to operate on her
49.When she saw Tom, that finished her, the sight of Tom _________.
A. plunged her into deep sorrow B. made her decide not to have an operation
C. broke her heart D. took all her strength and courage away
B
It seems that beauty and women are twins. You are joking? No, I am not. Observe for yourself. Ads on fashion flood TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they have realized it or not, women are besieged (包围) by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?
But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their minds proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called “aunt” or “granny” can still keep up her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart, great courage, concern for others, etc.
In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concept. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Interested in new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty that is pure and real. Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are rich soil which can feed the flower of one’s heart and looks.
50. According to the first paragraph, why are women caught by a sea of fashion?
A. Because they are rich. B. Because they are taught to follow any fashion.
C. Because they don’t dare to look attractive.
D. Because they think that they will look youthful and charming with beautiful clothes.
51. Which is more important to a woman in the author’s opinion?
A. Richness of one’s mind. B. Looks. C. Following the fashion. D. Wealth.
52. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The richness of women’s minds proves to be more beautiful than their looks.
B. A woman who may be called “aunt” is no longer beautiful.
C. A woman who has experienced many troubles may still keep up her beauty.
D. It is not necessary for women to show their beauty through their beautiful clothes.
53. What is the best way for a woman to appear young according to the writer?
A. Dressing up. B. Reading and learning. C. Feeding the flower. D. Making up.

It seems that the Englishmen just cannot live without sports of some kind. A famous French humorist once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it?
Of all amateur (业余的) and professional sports in Britain, football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the United States. The game was born in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier; as an organized game, it goes back to the beginning of the 19th century.
The next is rugby, which is called “football” in the United States. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players instead of eleven in a football team . In rugby, an oval-shaped (椭圆形的) ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked.
In summer, cricket (板球) is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.
Tennis rates high on the list, too. It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world.
Table tennis, or “Ping-Pong”, surely is not played on a great scale (范围) as it is in China or Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity. Horseback riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people.
54. The main purpose of Paragraph 1 is to tell us that the English _______.
A. are sports lovers B. behave like children
C. like to kick a ball around D. want to stay young all their lives
55. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about football and rugby?
A. They differ in the shape of the ball. B. They are played by different numbers of players.
C. Neither of them can be handled. D. They both can be kicked.
56. The game that was never played in Britain until the late 19th century is _______.
A. basketball B. tennis C. rugby D. football
57. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. The most popular sport in Britain B. History of sports
C. Football ── the most popular sport in Britain D. Sports in Britain
D
Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research shows that the reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline (衰弱)when they reach middle age.
The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.
“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.
“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the ages of 20 and 70 , one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.”
What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20- year- old one’s.
“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink.
They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.
The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater toll (造成损失)on the male heart, said Goldspink.
The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.
58.The passage mainly talks about________.
A. men’s heart cells B. women’s ageing process
C. the gender difference D. hearts and long life
59. According to the passage, the UK scientists have known that ________.
A. women have more cells than men when they are born
B. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat
C. the female heart loses few of the cells with age
D. the female heart never loses the pumping power with age
60. If you want to live longer, you should_______.
A. enable your heart to beat much faster B. find out the reason for ageing
C. exercise regularly D. prevent your cells from being lost
61. We can know from the passage that _______.
A. the reason why ageing causes a greater loss to the male heart has been found out
B. scientists are still doing research into why the male heart loses more of the cells
C. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss of the cells
D. women over 70 could lose more cells than those at the age of 20.

A higher reading rate, with no loss of comprehension, will help you in other subjects as well as in English, and the general principles apply to any language. Naturally, you will not read every book at the same speed. You would expect to read a newspaper, for example, much more rapidly than a physics or economics textbook—but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with.
The reading passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction. They are all about five hundred words long. They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge. Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel. If you read this kind of English, with understanding at four hundred words per minute, you might skim through a newspaper at perhaps 650~700, while with a difficult textbook you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty.
Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English-speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved. Tests in Minnesota, U.S.A, for example ,have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty, for example, Tolstoy’s War and Peace in translation, at speeds of between 240 and 250 words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension. Students in Minnesota claim that after twelve half-hour lessons, once a week, the reading speed can be increased, with no loss of comprehension, to around five hundred words per minute.
62.According to the passage, the purpose of effective reading with higher speed is most likely to help you________.
A. only in your reading of a physics textbook
B. improve your understanding of an economics textbook
C. not only in your language study but also in other subjects
D. choose the suitable materials to read
63.Which of the following does not describe the types of reading materials mentioned in the second paragraph?
A. Those beyond one’s reading comprehension. B. Those concerned with common knowledge.
C. Those without much demand for specialized knowledge.
D. Those with the length of about five hundred words.
64.The average speed of untrained native speakers in the University of Minnesota is________.
A. about 300 words per minute B. about 245 words per minute
C. about 650~770 words per minute D. about 500 words per minute
65.According to the passage, how fast can you expect to read after you have attended twelve half-hour lessons in the University of Minnesota?
A. You can increase your reading speed by three times.
B. No real increase in reading speed can be achieved.
C. You can increase your reading speed by four times.
D. You can double your reading speed.

书面表达:
A recent study shows that nearly 50 percent of the school kids in Beijing do not have breakfast. They tend to feel sleepy all day and have bad memories, so it is hard for them to get high marks in all kinds of tests.
Some students who study late into the night choose to miss breakfast so that they can have a few extra minutes in bed. Others are given money to buy their breakfast on the way to school because their parents are too busy to prepare it for them. In addition, a few school girls want to stay slim and often go to school without breakfast.
In fact, the morning meal plays an important part. It can provide 30 percent of the whole day’s energy. For a creative mind and better judgment, school kids should start their days with a regular breakfast.
