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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer (扫盲志愿者). The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people's lives were like because they could not rend, I realized the
true importance of reading.
My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule (时刻表), she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label (标识) , she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.
As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie's self-confidence (自信心), which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her selfconfidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.
56. What did the author do last summer?
A. She worked in the supermarket.
B. She helped someone to learn to read.
C. She gave single mothers the help they needed.
D. She went to a training program to help a literacy volunteer.
57. Why didn't Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?
A. Because she liked to walk to the supermarket.
B. Because she lived far away from the bus stop.
C. Because she couldn't afford the bus ticket.
D. Because she couldn't find the right bus.
58. How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?
A. She knew where the goods were in the supermarket.
B. She asked others to take her to the right place.
C. She managed to find the goods by their looks.
D. She remembered the names of the goods.
59. Which of the following statements is true about Marie?
A. Marie could do things she had not been able to do before
B. Marie was able to read stories with the help of her son.

B
As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.
Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.
Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. Thew would go to work by train even day from their large house in the suburbs (郊区), leaving their two children with a nanny (保姆). Most evenings Daniel wouldn't get home until eight or nine o'clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.
Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. "I always wanted to have a farm hen," says Daniel, "and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It's taken some getting used to, but it's been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it's made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.
Liz, however, is not quite sure. "I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I'm not really a country girl, but I suppose I'm gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all."
60. What do the first two paragraphs tell us?
A. People seldom work long hours to make money.
B. People hardly buy more things than necessary.
C. People are sure everything they own is in the right place.
D. People realize there is more to life than just making money.
61. When Daniel was a reporter he ____.
A. lived in central London
B. disliked his job
C. missed his children
D. was well paid
62. Daniel and Hz both agree that the move to the farm ____.
A. was easy to organize
B. has improved family life
C. was extremely expensive
D. has been a total success
63. What does the underlined "it" in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Child-caring.
B. Liz's advice.
C. Downshifting.
D. Liz's job.
64. The underlined word "downshifting" in the second paragraph means ____.
A. repairing your car by yourself
B. spending money carefully
C. moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life
D. living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week
C

Have you ever got stuck with unwanted courses or a class schedule that cannot be changed? If so, that' s because you don' t know how to select the perfect schedule. But by following a few simple steps, you can begin any term with the right courses at. the most convenient times.
First, you must find tile right courses. These are the ones that have the least amount of work, the fewest tests and the kindest professors. Ask your friends about courses in which they received A's after attending only 70 percent of the classes. Ask around, too, to see which instructors have given the same tests for the last fifteen years. Photocopies of these tests are usually cheap and can be easily found in school. Then. pick up a copy of the master schedule and study it carefully. Find the course titles that mean an easy pass for a painless subject. Look for titles like "Arts and Crafts for Beginners," and "Rock Music of the 1950s."
Next, when you have got lists of easy instructors and subjects, you can begin to select your time periods. If you stay up late in order to watch old movies, you may want a daily schedule that begins no sooner than noon. You should schedule only afternoon courses, too, if you're one of those people who hate to leave a warm bed in the morning. On the other hand, if you are a person who gets out of bed at dawn, you may want to get your classes out of the way as early as possible. That way you have the rest of the day free. Morning classes are also necessary if you are a soup opera (肥皂剧) fan.
Finally, you want your schedule to pass through registration successfully. The main way to do this is to register (注册) early. If a course does happen to be
closed because you simply couldn't register at 7:00 a. m., you may still. be able to get in. Talk to the professor and tell him or her that a serious and hardworking student like yourself would be a shining example to other students. Be sure to carry a list of backup courses to registration, though, just in case one of your chosen classes changes professors or time periods.
By following these suggestions, any student can pick the perfect class schedule. College can thus become an almost pleasant activity.
67. Which of the fo1lowing statements is true?
A. You can get copies of tests if you are willing to pay the price.
B. "Rock Music of the 1950s" may he art easy course.
C. it. is difficult to pick the perfect class schedule.
D. Attendance is required in all classes.
68. You should ___.
A. register for classes in the morning if you gut up early
B. have classes late in the morning if you stay up late
C. sign up for afternoon classes if yon. want to see soap operas
D. choose classes in the evening if you want to watch old films
69. If a course happens to be closed, you should ___.
A. register at 7:00 a. m.
B. sit in on the class anyway
C. register for a hack-up course
D. get help horn the professor
70. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Course Registration Made Easy
B. How to Find the Right Courses
C. Classes and After-class Activities
D. How to Pick the Perfect Schedule

Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee (裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don't care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn't seem to worry them if the game is riot finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides. or the determining of which side shall, start is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children's games exciting, arid they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and. more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
71. What is true about children when they play games?
A. They can stop playing arty time they like.
B. They can test their personal abilities.
C. They want to pick a better team.
D. They don't need rules.
72. To become a leader in a game the child has to ____.
A. play well
B. wait for his turn
C. be confident in himself
D. be popular among his playmates
73. What do we know about grown-ups?
A. They are not interested in games.
B. They find children's games too easy.
C. They don't need a reason to play games.
D. They don t understand children's games.
74. Why does a child like playing games?
A. Because he can be someone other than himself.
B. Because he can become popular among friends.
C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.
D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.
75. The writer believes that ____.
A. children should make better rules for their games
B. children should invite grown-ups to play with them
C. children's games can do them a lot of good
D. children play games without reasons

Thirty-eight years ago, the late Chairman Mao called on us to learn. from Lei Feng. To mark the occasion, we organized an activity at a nearby bus station today.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, we arrived at the 712 bus station, where we were warmly welcomed by the drivers and conductors.
Then we broke up into several groups. Some of us taught some drivers and conductors English, while others cleaned the buses. Still others directed traffic at the crossroads near the bus station and helped the elderly cross the street.
Staff members of the bus station and our classmates then took part in a general knowledge quiz on the Olympic Games in the afternoon, which was great fun for both sides. Around four o'clock, we said goodbye to one another, and felt very happy on the way borne.
Today's activity has taught us the new meaning of the spirit of Lei Feng: Sharing with others what you have-your time, energy, or knowledge-makes you feel warm in your heart. It has truly made a difference in how I feel about myself.
