第二部分：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
I was born when my father and mother were on their way to Nash, a lonely place where they were to meet with hardship and difficulties. They both liked this land very much, which might have best explained why they moved from Missouri to such a town in western Kansas. They did most of their shopping in Nash, but before Nash was built, they shopped at the little town of Moran, where there was a small grocery store.
I remember when the railroad came to Nash, when the first telephones came, and the first cars. We lived six miles from town so we missed out meeting the trains. My mother was sick when I was small, so I did a lot of the household chores, even doing the laundry, as I was the oldest, but I never worked outside with my five brothers. I remember going to school with my brothers. When we played basketball, we played outside, and the girls wore skirts and bloomers, and got along fine. I liked spelling matches, and we competed with other schools once or twice a month.
I married Herm Messenger, a farmer in 1971. eleven children were born to us, four boys and seven girls, four dead at birth. One pair of twins, Paul and Pauline, however Pauline died when she was nineteen months old. My first washing machine was operated by hand, pushing the handle back and forth. Later, I got a machine with an electric motor. My first machine with a wringer(绞拧机) was a kind of a joke, as herm took it to the church, and put it on the Christmas tree for me. That might not be exciting to a housewife today, but I thought it was!
36．From the passage we can learn that the writer’s parents __________.
A．had the first child unexpectedly
B．liked Missouri very much
C．had a hard time in Nash
D．had to shop a great deal
37．The second paragraph tells that the author ___________.
A．saw for herself first trains, first telephones and first cars
B．played, worked and went to school with his brothers
C．did a lot of household chores when she was small
D．enjoyed winning the spelling matches when at school
38．In the last paragraph the author suggests that ____________.
A．the way her husband put a wringer on a tree was funny
B．she was excited when she received the wringer from her husband
C．her husband was fond of playing a joke on her
D．her first washing machine was electrically run
B
An affordable housing law passed three years ago promises a possible supply of below-market-rate homes, but has failed to encourage increased housing production and is unlikely to affect San Francisco’s poorest families.
Barbara, 44, who came to The City in 1970, have been trying to pick herself up from the bottom, where she and her children started out with just the clothes on their backs-through the kindness of others they got by.
They were last homeless in 1999. Since then, Barbara has worked hard to keep from returning to the streets and the shelters, taking advantage first of transitional(过渡的) housing, then a rent assistance, and studying for a job as a nursing assistant and a home health aide.
However the cost for housing has made it difficult for her to live within her limit. She can’t afford proper housing. Even an improper shelter costs as much as $ 1,200 for rent. She has to spend every night in a dining room. In this respect, she is not alone. There are hundreds of thousands of San Franciscans who are in the same boat with her.
Since 2000, she’s been providing health care in the homes of charity(慈善机构), and relying on an assistance program to pay the rent for her two-bedroom apartment in the Lower Height. A few months ago she lost her full-time job due to budget cuts, just as she had hoped to get a permanent post that would allow her to cover her $ 1,700 monthly rent.
Now she works three or four hour shifts six days a week for $ 10.50 an hour, taking the bus around from client to client and worrying that in February, when her rent assistance is gone, she could end up on the streets with her family again.
39．From the passage we can learn that ____________ in San Francisco.
A．there is a serious lack of proper housing
B．there are many people who can not afford housing
C．transitional housing is as expensive as apartments
D．a rent assistance can be given to every citizen
40．Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
A．They were once given clothes by kind people
B．They were once sleeping on the street
C．They were once offered transitional housing
D．They were once living with a nursing man
41．What does the underlined part live within her limit probably mean?
A．Live a miserable life B．Live beyond what she earns
C．Make both ends meet D．Follow her way.
42．The passage suggests that _________________.
A．Barbara would be homeless again B．Barbara is a lazy person
C．Barbara could not live without help D．Barbara is out of work now
C
She must be the wisest woman on this planet, for she has lived up to the three words “Seize the moment”. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it, or because they are unwilling to try something new.
My sister died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. I can’t remember how many times I was refused when I called her to go to lunch. She would say to me: “I can’t. I have clothes on the line.” “My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday.” “I had a late breakfast.” “It looks like rain.” Only after her death did I choose to be a little more flexible.
Life is not made up of thing that you do at a particular time, but it demands variety and adventure. As we grow older, the list of promises made to ourselves may get longer. Perhaps one morning, when we awaken, we will find to our surprise that our life is full of “I’m going to”, “I plan to” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”
My seize-the-moment friend is open to adventure and ready at any moment to make a new start. She keeps an open mind about new ideas. Her great interest in life is contagious. With her around you, you may trade your bad feet for good shoes.
I have not touched ice cream for 10 years. The other day, I stopped off and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.
43．The passage suggests that the author’s sister _________________.
A．was very busy with her work B．died a very happy person
C．always did things in a fixed order D．was the wisest woman in the world

45．The underlined word “contagious” is used to show that the woman is_______”.
A．polite B．powerful C．practical D．proud
46．The author expects those who have read the passage to ___________.

D
Wuthering Heights has a difficult narrative structure. The story begins in 1801. It is first narrated by Lockwood, a visitor staying in Thrushcross Grange, one of the two houses, where we can meet different characters in the novel. Lockwood is a narrow, dull man who is basically afraid of feeling; as a result, he is a bad man who lives emotionally through a dirty interest in the lives of others. It is this side of his character that leads into the main narrative stream of the novel. His interest in what he sees and experiences on his visits to Wuthering Heights leads him to encourage Nelly Dean, the house-keeper at the Grange, to provide him with the information concerning the people that he has met: Heathcliff, Cathy, Hareton, Joseph and, of course, the ghost of Catherine.
Nelly Dean’s story forms the major part of the narrative. While Nelly is meant to be an objective narrator, she has a lot to do with what has happened over the past twenty-five years that have led to the present state of affairs. Therefore, as readers, we need to realize how Nelly presents events and characters and her own role in determining the course of events.
The final part of the novel concerns the immediate future and provides us with the results of Lockwood’s visit to the Heights and the appearance of Catherine’s ghost. It is narrated by both Lockwood and Nelly.
Finally, Isabella, the one time wife of Heathcliff, through a letter, narrates one middle part of the novel.
Although this narrative structure may, at first, be very difficult, it is necessary because in the world of the novel, time order of the years is not so important; the events of twenty-five years ago are as much a part of the present as those in which Lockwood finds himself in 1801.
47．From the first paragraph, we can know the first narrator is _____________.
A．Lockwood B．Thrushcross
C．Heathcliff D．Nelly Dean
48．The house-keeper at the Grange satisfies Lockwood’s dirty desire by ____________.
A．telling him the story of the ghost of Catherine
B．providing him with the information of Wuthering Height
C．encouraging him to know more about the people he has met
D．showing him around the place he is visiting
49．What is special about the middle part of the novel?
A．One part of it is narrated in the form of a letter.
B．It describes how Isabella and Heathcliff got separated.
C．It is the most difficult part in the novel.
D．One part of it suggests Catherine has been dead
50．This passage is quite probably ____________.
A．a piece of news B．a reading guide
C．a writing guide D．an advertisement of a novel
E
Thanks to science, industry and moral philosophy, mankind’s steps were at last guided up the right path in the past century. The 19th century of steam was about to give way to the 20th century of oil and electricity. Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, only 41 years old in 1900, provided a scientific basis for the idea that progress was not to be stopped, determined by natural law. And almost everybody thought that the development would continue to be as slow as that in the 19th century.
Inventions like the railroad or the telegraph or the typewriter enabled people to live their everyday lives a little more conveniently. No one could have guessed that new ideas would storm the world with a force and frequency at an amazing pace. This high-speed attack of new ideas and technologies seemed to make people believe in the old dreams of a perfect life on earth, of a safe world in which natural disasters would be controlled. But the fast progress was accompanied by something against mankind’s will.
Murders in Sarajevo(萨拉热窝) in 1914 led to the Great War, which did more than destroy a generation of Europeans. The Great War was most commonly called so until the beginning of World War Ⅱ when it was renamed World War Ⅰ. Hitler rose to power in the 1930’s. It was this very man who ordered the attack of Poland, only to meet with his failure when Great Britain and France made war on Germany. On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed the American naval base at Pearl harbor. Americans decided to enter the war, and World War Ⅱ was now truly a world war.
But civilization was not crushed(压碎) by the two great wars, and from the ruins people built a way of life again. The citizens of the 20th century felt free to reinvent themselves. In that task they were aided by two far-reaching developments－Psychoanalysis(精神分析) and the Bomb.
51．It can be inferred from the passage that at the beginning of the 20th century __________.
A．great changes occurred between the 19th century and the 20th century
B．the world knew nothing about science, industry and moral philosophy
C．mankind came to realize there was not a change in the 19th century
D．Darwin, the builder of the theory of evolution, was in his forties
52．Because of the inventions like the railroad, telegraph and type writer, people could _____.
A．know that the progress was made only by scientists
B．enjoy their life more comfortably and conveniently
C．tell that a mankind killing was about to take place
D．make their dreams of a better life and a better world come true
53．Why was the Great War renamed as World War Ⅰ?
A．Because it destroyed a generation of Europeans.
B．Because it was not only a war but a human disaster.
C．Because it was followed by the other world war.
D．Because it was influenced by new ideas.
54．Which happening is not mentioned in this passage before World War Ⅱ?
A．Hitler came into power B．Japan attached Pearl Harbor.
C．Poland was attacked by Germany. D．USA had not planned to go into the war
55．What is the writer likely to talk about if he continues to write?
A．Citizenship. B．Invention. C．Ruins. D．Psychoanalysis.
