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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Capitan, a huge mass of rock almost three-quarters of a mile high in California’s beautiful Yosemite Valley. It had been Mark’s dream to climb El Capitan for as long as he could remember. But how could a person without the use of his legs hope to try to climb it?
Mark knew he couldn’t finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter, an expert rock climber, would be there to lend a helping hand. He and Mark thought that it would take seven days to reach the top.
Peter climbed about 100 feet up and hammered a piton(岩钉) into the rock. Fastening one end of a 165-foot rope to the piton, he let one end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt with a special instrument.This instrument would allow Mark to move upward, but would prevent him from falling even as much as a single inch. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-shaped bar to the rope, using the same kind of instrument.
Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach, and began the first of the 7,000 pull-ups needed to reach the top. High above, Peter let out a cheer. “You’re on your way.”
Seven years before, at the age of twenty-one, he had fallen while mountain climbing, injuring his backbone. The fall cost him the use of his legs, but he never lost his love of adventure or his joyful spirit.
For the first four days the two men progressed steadily upward without incident. But on the fifth day an unbearably hot wind began to blow, and as time went by, it became stronger and stronger, causing Mark to sway(摇摆) violently on his rope. But Mark kept on determinedly
pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up. In spite of that, he had to admit that he felt a lot better when the wind finally died down and his body touched solid rock again.
It took them one day more than they had expected, but on July 26 at 1:45 in the afternoon, the crowd of people waiting on the top went wild with joy as the two heads appeared. Mark Wellman had shown that if you set your heart and mind on a goal, no wall is too high, no dream impossible.
56.What had Mark Wellman long desired to do?
A. To finish one of the most difficult rock climbs in the world.B. To be the first to climb El Capitan.
C. To climb the highest mountain in California. D. To help his friend Peter climb El Capitan.
57.How did Mark climb the mountain?
A. He fastened the rope to his wheelchair.
B. He hammered in pitons so that he had something to hold on to.
C. He held on to the T-bar and Peter pulled him up.
D. He pulled himself up using a T-bar and special equipment.
58.How did Mark lose the use of his legs?
A. He lost his footing and fell from the side of a mountain.
B. He fell during his first attempt on El Capitan.
C. His legs were broken by falling rocks. D. While working out in the gym, he injured his backbone.
59.What was the worst problem Mark had during the climb?
A. He struck against the rock and hurt his arms. B. A strong wind blew him away from the rock.
C. He kept falling several inches. D. While swaying in space, he became terrified.
60.How did Mark react to difficulties during the climb?
A. He admitted that he was frightened. B. He often worried about his friend’s condition.
C. He was able to remain clam and determined. D. He was joking to cheer himself up.

It was the first photograph that I had ever seen, and it interested me. I can remember holding it at every angle(角度) in order to catch the flickering light from the oil lamp on the dresser. The man in the photograph was unsmiling, but his eyes were kind. I had never met him, but I felt that I knew him. One evening when I was looking at the photograph, as I always did before I went to sleep, I noticed a shadow across the man’s thin face. I moved the photograph so that the shadow lay perfectly around his cheeks. How different he looked!
That night I could not sleep, thinking about the letter that I would write. First, I would tell him that I was eleven years old, and that if he had a little girl my age, she could write to me instead of him. I knew that he was a very busy man.. Then I would explain to him the real purpose of my letter. I would tell him how wonderful he looked with the shadow that I had seen across his photograph, and I would most carefully suggest that he grow whisker(连鬓胡子).
Four months later when I met him at the train station near my home in Westfield, New York, he was wearing a full beard. He was so much taller than I had imagined from my tiny photograph.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” he said, “ I have no speech to make and no time to make it in. I appear before you that I may see you and that you may see me.” Then he picked me right up and kissed me on both cheeks. “Do you think I look better, my little friend?” he asked me.
My name is Grace Bedell, and the man in the photograph was Abraham Lincoln.
64.What is the author’s main purpose in the passage?
A. To explain how Grace Bedell took a photograph of Abraham Lincoln.
B. To explain why Abraham Lincoln wore a beard.
C. To explain why the first photographs were important in American life.
D. To explain why Westfield is an important city.
65.The word “flickering” in line 2 is closest in meaning to .
A. burning continuously B. burning brightly C. burning unsteadily D. burning fiercely
66.Why did the little girl write the man a letter?
A. She was lonely. B. She wanted his daughter to write to her.
C. She wanted him to grow a beard. D. She wanted him to visit her.
67.From this passage, it may be inferred that .
A. there were many people waiting for Lincoln to arrive on the train
B. Grace Bedell was the only one at the train station when Lincoln stopped at Westfield
C. Lincoln made a long speech at the station in Westfield
D. Lincoln was astonished to see the little girl
D
A very rapid increase in the number of ships sailing between American and European ports began almost immediately after the end of the War of 1812 in order to meet the new need for the regular rapid transportation of mail, light cargo(货物), and passengers. It was the increase in emigration(移民) to America that for the first time made the carrying of passengers across the Atlantic more profitable(可赚钱的) than the transportation of heavy cargo. A new type of sailing ship, the packet(邮船), appeared to meet this new demand, and the demand very soon resulted in strong competition among several packet lines. The earliest of these was the Black Ball Line set up in New York in 1816, only a year after the end of the war. The service of this famous line started with four of the new fast packets, each of 400 to 500 tons: the Pacific, the Amity, the James Cooper, and the William Thompson. During the first twenty years of service, the average time from New York to Liverpool was 23 days and the average trip back to New York took 40 days. By the middle of the century packets had increased in size to between 900 and 1,000 tons and their speed had increased. The Red Jackel once sailed from New York to Liverpool in 13 days, 11.5 hours. The Mary Whiteridge took 4.5 hours off this record on a run from Baltimore to Liverpool. Such speeds were far greater than the average of from 19 to 21 days to Liverpool and from 30 to 35 homeward to New York, but the packets had still set a new standard for transoceanic travel. No wonder that steamships, the first of which tried to compete with the packets in 1838, only began to replace them in the 1850s.
68. The fastest transatlantic voyage by a packet mentioned by the author was from .
A. Liverpool to New York B. New York to Liverpool
C. Baltimore to Liverpool D. Liverpool to Baltimore
69.According to the author, in which decade(十年)of the 19th century did a steamship first attempt to compete with the transatlantic packets?
A. The 20s. B. The 50s. C. The 40s. D. The 30s.
70.Which of the following was most important in the development of the fast packets?
A. The increase in the number of people who wanted to go to America.
B. The increase in the number of people who wanted to go to Europe after the War of 1812.
C. The increased demand for the transportation of all kinds of cargo.
D. The increased volume of mail.
71. The time of the fastest transatlantic crossing mentioned by the author was 13 days and .
A. 11.5 hours B.7 hours C. 7.5 hours D. 4.5 hours
E
Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people ,but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’re got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded(报答). When I left a 20-year job in the U. S. Coast Guard to become a writer, I had no hopes at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a realwriter.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering, what if? I would keep putting my dream to the test—even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
72.The passage is meant to .
A. warn young people of the hardship that a successful writer has to experience
B. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C. show young people it’s unrealistic for writers to seek wealth and fame
D. encourage young people to seek good jobs
73.What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.
B. A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.
C. Famous writers usually live in poverty.
D. The chances for a writer to become successful are small
74. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing work?
A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book.
B. He hadn’t seen a change for the better.
C. He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.
D. He found his dream would never come true.
75. “Shadow land” in the last sentence refers to .
A. the wonderland one often dreams about
B. the bright future that one is looking forward to
C. a world that exists only in one’s imagination
D. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached
