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
Language is a major problem for the European Union (EU). The agreement or treaty (#J~.cJ) which created the organization that eventually became the EU, the Treaty of Rome, stated that each country's language must be treated equally. The original six countries had only three languages between them: French. German and Dutch/ Flemish. However, there are now 15 countries in the EU, with a total of 12 languages. EU documents must be translated into all these languages, and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters.
All this translating is very expensive and time-consuming (费时的). it is said that nearly half of all employees of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches, and nearly half of the EU's administrative(管理方面的) costs are spent on this task. in the near future it is probably that several more countries, most of them having their own languages, will join the EU, thus making the situation even worse.
The problem is not just cost: there are practical difficulties as well. With 12 languages, there are 132 possible "translation situations" that might be needed. It is often' difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from (for example) Danish into Greek, or Dutch into Portuguese, at a high professional standard.
In practice the problem has been made less severe by the use of English in many contacts between EU officials, since almost all of them speak some English. However, any move to reduce the number of official languages (perhaps to four or five) would be a blow to the price of the smaller countries. Another commonly suggested solution is to make English the official language for all EU business. However, this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like France and Germany.
56. What's the main purpose of this passage?
A. To give a solution to a problem. B. To find out a problem and show how severe it is.
C. To criticize the European Union for illefficiency.
D. To show that the problem cannot be solved.
57. According to the writer, the use of English in contacts among EU officials has ________.
A. angered the officials who don't speak English B. reduced the number of official languages
C. lessened the effect of the problem D. been opposed by powerful member countries
58. The writer mentions "Danish into Greek" as an example of ________.
A. a situation that might be difficult to deal with B. a situation that occurs often
C. one of the 12 situations that requires an interpreter D. languages easily being interpreted
59. The writer suggests that if the number of official languages was reduced _______.
A. the EU would not know which official languages to choose
B. countries whose languages were not used officially would be unhappy
C. only languages which are easy to translate would be used officially
D. the smaller member countries would be pleased
B
The phone is ringing at the other end of the line and it clicks as it is being answered. A voice says quickly, "Hello. Will you hold, please.'?" Then there is another click, followed by silence. It seems like hours before someone comes back on the line -- that is, if you don't hang up first.
Office calls are, perhaps, the most difficult and the most important part of a secretary's work. The first impression that a client receives about a business is very often through a telephone contact. A caller who is left hanging on "hold" will get the feeling that he or she has been forgotten or ignored. Ira call is answered rudely, the caller may become angry. And if the call is not muted directly to the right person, the caller may feel that he or she is getting the "runaround".
Laura Needham is a secretary in the executive offices of a large manufacturing company. As a good office secretary Laura knows that all phone calls must be answered without delay and handled efficiently. She knows that a secretary must be pleasant and helpful, no matter how busy she is or what kind of mood she may be in. She knows she must keep calm if a caller gets impatient or becomes angry; also, of course, she knows she can never allow herself to lose her temper, if she does not have the information the caller asks for, she must know who does have the information. Finally. she knows that one of her most important responsibilities is to "screen telephone calls" and to know which calls to refer to her boss, which calls to refer to other people, and which calls to handle herself.
A well-handled telephone call will give the caller a good impression of the company he or she is dealing with. For this reason, an office secretary who can handle telephone calls cheerfully, tactfully (老练的), and efficiently is a valuable asset to any organization.
60. Good secretaries find it ___________ to handle office calls well.
A. very boring B. very important C.quite necessary D. extremely difficult
61. The underlined word "runaround" here means __________.
A. a flat refusal B. a not-so-warm welcome
C. an unpleasant refusal D. an unhelpful response
62. In Laura's opinion a secretary can never be a good one until __________.
A. she often asks her boss how to answer a telephone call
B. she knows how to please her clients C. she has the information that her clients need
D.she can keep calm and never loses her temper
63. This passage is mainly about _________.
A. well-handled telephone calls B. an efficient office secretary called Laura Needham
C. the importance of how office calls are dealt with
D.a secretary being a valuable asset to her company
C
Before discussing different kinds of emotions, let us briefly talk about how reaserchers measure bodily processes, actions and behavior, and how this relates to what we do in our daily lives when we observe emotions in others.
Bodily processes can be directly measured by means of a polygraph. When a polygrapy is skillfully used to compare how we react bodily with what we are saying, it is called a "lie detector". Bodily processes can also be measured indirectly. This is what we do when we observe someone blushing (脸红). However, we are not always aware of what bodily processes respond to.
Measuring action.or behavior is the other way researchers assess the emotions. For example, one measure of fear of snakes is how close a person will go to the snake. Another procedure is to have a person tell how afraid he is, or how he feels, in this way, researchers have developed the so-called "fear thermometer" to assess a person's fear. In our everyday living, we do very much the same thing. Only not too systematically. We react to what a person does, what he says, how he says it. and how he looks. Is he smiling?is his voice trembling?We put all this observations together to infer what a person is feeling.
However, we do not always act as we feel. Sometimes we do things that we don't feel like doing. Sometimes we say we feel one way and then we act another. Actors, tbr example, successfully learn to "make believe" emotions, or learn to tiide them. Thus we cannot always tell what a person is feeling by what he says or by what he does,
64. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. We can never tell what a person is feeling.
B. The "fear thermometer" is a way to measure how fearful a person is.
C. Researchers can assess the emotions in some ways.
D. People do not always know what bodily processes they respond to.
65. The underlined word "'assess" in the 3rd paragraph is close in meaningto
A. make B. measure C. discuss D. develop
66. The writer uses the example of actors in order to argue that _________.
A. it is rather easy to become successful actors B. people do not always act as they feel
C. we cari never believe what other people say D. actors are always telling lies
67. The passage is mainly about _________.
A. the way of assessing the emotion B. the usefulness of a "lie detector"
C. the functioning of different emotions D. the development of the "fear thermometer"
D
Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modem life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities, the traditional leisurely midday rneal is disappointing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the great efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of work, emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the "typical" Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.
Some davy that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its i:onsumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that "assembly-line life" will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life -- to enjoy in the smell of a freshly-picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe?
Since the late 1950's life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by triumph of this competitiveness, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence.
In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, convenience, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is more preferable to the old.
68. The passage is about _________.
A. changes in the life style of the French B. criticism of the old life style
C. approval of the new life style D. analysis of the old way of life in France
69. The old French way of life mainly featured __________.
A. elegance, leisure and romanticism B. efficiency, elegance and leisure
C. elegance, leisure and taste D. efficiency, leisure and taste
70. Which of the following about the French is NOT true?
A. They show more concerns about money than before.
B. They do enjoy working on the assembly line.
C. Many of them prefer the new life style to the old.
D. They are more competitive than the elder generation.
71. What is the attitude of the general Frenchmen towards the new life style?
A. They fear that France is threatened by the new trend.
B. They are unsatisfied with the new way of life.
C. They welcome the new lifestyle enthusiastically.
D. They confuse the traditional life style with the new one.

Genetics is not just a science, let alone a technology or a business. Genetics is a profound idea, Genetics journals, for instance, fill their pages with discoveries of"disease genes" that lurk (潜伏) silent, in the twists and bends of our DNA, ready to turn on us. The very idea of disease genes that have yet to actually cause disease makes us feel "sick" even if we don't have any symptom. Cancer genetics has brought even deeper changes. The disease used to be blamed on disguised external (外部的) agents attacking the body. But now the disease is seen as "a natural born part of the self", argues sociologist Barbara Katz Rothman of the City University of New York. whose book, "'Genetic Maps and Human Imaginations" was published in October. You get cancer not solely, or even largely, because of something you ate, or because of some place you lived in, or because of some chemical you breathed. You have cancer because of who you are. After all, not everyone who lived as you lived got cancer. Cancer becomes an expression of our essential nature.
Such a view affects how we act, as individuals and as a society. We get tested for cancer genes ( and don't know what to make of the result: after all, about 40 to 50 percent of women who carry either of the two breast--cancer genes discovered so far do not get breast cancer). We think individually rather than socially, with results that the cause of disease lies in us. If we had focused o,n genes rather than viruses perhaps there would have been no social response to the epidemic (流行病). As a result of discoveries in genetics, says Rothman, "'we are looking to locate problems in the individual." Thinking genetically makes us say that the problem is not ours as a society but yours as an individual.
72. What is the new discovery that often leads to disease in the genetic field?
A. Disease genes. B. Disturbing ideas. C. Twists and bends. D. Pollutants.
73. By saying "Cancer becomes an expression of our essential nature", the author means _________.
A. that cancer is a display of disease B. that canter'is not caused by external agents
C. that everyone can get cancer D. that not everyone can get cancer
74. When discussing about the tests we did in the past to find ways of curing disease, the author implies that __________.
A. we didn't do them scientifically B. we can make use of some of those results
C. we are happy with those results D. we will continue to do those tests this way
75. The new discovery shows that it is essential to examine disease _________.
A. genetically B. socially C. individually D. generally

A possible version:
Dear Kai xin,
I’m a middle school students. I’m doing well in my studies, and ready to help others. In the school I like to talk with my classmates. However, I have a problem that troubles me all the time. It is the relationship between my deskmate and me.
My deskmate is a hard-working student, who keeps the school rules well. However, he is a person of few words. What’s more, he loses his temper easily. I don’t know how to communicate with him. Maybe it’s because we have seldom sat down and exchange our feelings and thoughts. I hope we can know more about each other and understand each other better. I do hope we’ll be closer. What can I do?
