第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (contents) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.
56. All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 except ____________.
A. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or“All Natural”
B. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands
C. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items
D. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands
57. What does the writer think about ads?
A. They are believable. B. They are attractive.
C. They are full of misinformation. D. They are helpful to consumers.
58. One of the author’s suggestions to consumers is ____________.
A. to make use of ads
B. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch
D. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands
59. The author implies that____________.
A. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy more than you plan to
B. the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively low
C. discount clothing stores are good places to go to
D. ads sometimes don’t tell the truth
B

It is everyday news, whether or not conditions change. Many newspapers carry a regular front-page news story in addition to the full reports on as inside-page provided by the weather service. Here are several different types of weather reports taken from the western papers.
No.1 Regional Forecast

Southwesterly winds at 15 to 20 m.p.h.. Tomorrow: showers and thunderstorms likely. High: 75－79. Wind S to SW at 15 to 20 m.p.h..
No.2 Three－Day Forecast

Saturday: Cloud with some showers.
Sunday: Mostly fine.

No.3 Weather Stories
Bitter cold, intensified by high winds, gripped(控制) the Upper Midwest today, sheets of ice and snow left by the winter’s first major storm on highways throughout the area.
At least six deaths were blamed on the storm. Hundreds of schools closed throughout the Upper Midwest yesterday and thousands of travelers waited out the weather at roadside shelters.
Temperatures dropped well blew zero early today from the Northern Plains through the Western Great Lakes under clearing skies. A 25-below-zero reading was forecast.
Nearly a foot of snow fell on northern sections of Minnesota, Winsconsin and Michigan. And hardest hit were Duluth, Minn and Superior, Wis, where 12 inches were recorded. Winds went up to 50 miles an hour.
60. In a street corner of London, two strangers may begin their talk with ____________.
A. Hi, how are you? B. What are you doing here? Waiting for someone?
C.A nice day, isn’t it? D. Didn’t you listen to the weather report last night?

Drunken driving, sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder, has become a national epidemic(流行病)．Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years．A drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the America manly image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant(忍受).
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing trend(逆转潮流)in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked drop in accidents，some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunk” and later drove the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.
As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national prohibition(禁令) of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forgot that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption(腐败)and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
64. What can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey?
A. Young drivers were usually bad.
B. The legal drinking age should be raised.
C. Some drivers have not reached the legal drinking age.
D. Drivers should not be allowed to drink.
65. The underlined word “lenient” in the first paragraph means.
A. merciful B. cruel C. serious D. determined
66. As regards drunken driving, public opinion has changed because _____.
A. judges are no longer lenient
B. new laws are introduced in some states
C. drivers do not appreciate their manly image
D. the news media have raised public attention of the problem
D
I really hadn’t meant to yell(吼叫) at them. But that grey afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terrible mess on the floor in the kitchen.
With a tiresome report to write, I felt bothered at my desk. Suddenly, it occurred to me that my kids were at fault. A voice inside me insisted that I do something quickly.
“OK, you two here, but what an awful thing you are attempting!” “I shouted angrily. I headed for them while my boy shouted back, “Get away from us!”
All of a sudden, I found the fault in myself. Quickly I shaped my hands into pincers (蟹螯) and crawled towards them. “Crabby Daddy is here. Ha, Ha, Ha, he likes to yell at children, and then eat them!” My son continued to keep me away, but now he was laughing and crying at the same time. My action to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well. Still I regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way that my children could do after.
Need I let them know how badly they were acting by blaming? This is a lesson that serves myself. It only shows just how to get rid of something (ill feelings, responsibility...) by blaming others. It’s not my “best self”.
We have to search for our “best self” when with our children. They don’t need perfect parents, but they do need parents who are always trying to get better. Here, I’m reminded of the words of a great thinker. “When a man lives with God, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the brook.…” Then, in our lifetime, couldn’t we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since most of us consider them as the most precious in the world? And before we reach this level, what should we do when we come across various difficult cases with our children?
67. The author couldn’t help yelling at his kids this time probably because ________.
A. the weather was so unpleasant
B. he was tired of his boring work
C. the kids didn’t ask him to join them
D. a Daddy has his right to do so
68. Which of the following made the author aware of his fault?
A. No obvious reason.
B. The girl’s expression.
C. His self-awareness.
D. The boy’s yelling back.
69. According to the passage, the author will_________ in another similar situation.
A. play a crab again like this time
B. apologize to kids in a sincere way
C. avoid blaming kids in a hurry
D. beat them
70. What will the writer go on to write about in the next paragraph(s)?
A. How to behave ourselves properly when kids are at fault.
B. How to blame our children in a more interesting way.
C. How to deal with the terrible mess made by our kids.
D. How to persuade children to do what they are told to.
E
There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By contrast (对照), the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have, and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends；there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge. Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.
71. In the author’s eye, one who views personal growth as a process would ______.
A. succeed in climbing up the social ladder
B. grow up from his own achievements
C. face difficulties and take up challenges
D. aim high and reach his goal each time
72. Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing?
A. Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges.
B. Jane won the first prize in the speech competition.
C. Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris.
D. Father’s salary rose from 5, 000 to 7,000.
73. For personal growth, the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT _______．
A. being curious about more changes
B. B. being quick in self-adaptation
C. having an open mind to new experiences
D. staying away from failures and challenges
74. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It is not so easy to measure personal growth.
B. To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable.
C. There are only two ways to see a person’s growth.
D. If you are too shy to take any risks in life, you cannot grow up.
75. The best title for this passage should be ______.
A. Facing New Challenges
B. Growth—Product or Process
C. Two Basic Ways of Growth
D. Overcoming Internal Fears
