三、阅读理解（15分）
A
If you have chosen the right, fairly easy sort of material for fast reading practice, you may not always need a dictionary for such an exercise. Very often, the meanings of new words will be clear from the words and sentences around them --- what we call the “context (上下文)”. Here is an example. Do you know the word “sou’wester” It has two meanings in English as the following sentences s how:
a) In spite of the fact that the fishermen were wearing sou’westers, the storm
was so heavy that they were wet through.
b) The north-east wind brings cold, dry weather to England, but the sou
wester usually brings rain.
You should have guessed very easily that in sentence a ), the word “sou’wester” refers to some kind of clothing that rain does not pass through, quite thick and heavy, since it is worn by fishermen in storms. In sentence b), it is clearly a kind of wind, coming from a south-westerly direction. Form the above example, you can see that by reading through context you can get the meanings of new words without using a dictionary, and therefore you can save a lot of time. Besides, if you had tried to look up “sou’wester” in a dictionary, you woul d have had the greatest difficulty in finding this word in most dictionaries, since it often appears a long way down among the less important meanings of “south”. If you did not know that “sou” meant “south” in the first place, you could only have found th e word merely by chance.
1. The passage says in fast reading, the use of a dictionary __________.
a. cannot be avoided
b. is not always necessary
c. will help increase reading speed
d. is a waste of time
2. Which of the following is TRUE
a. You can often work out the meaning of a word from the context.
b. You can often get the meaning of a word by guessing blindly.
c. A sou’wester brings cold, dry weather to Englan
d.
d. A sou’wester is a thin and light raincoat.
3. Words like “sou’wester” are often difficult to find even in a dictionary
because __________.
a. they are listed under another word
b. they are often spelled wrongly
c. they are not included in most dictionaries
d. they are taken from another language
4. Which of the following is the topic of the passage
a. The Uses of Dictionaries
b. A Study of the Word “sou’wester”
c. Finding the Meanings of Words through Context
d. How to Find the Meanings of a Word Quickly.
5. According to the passage, you can find the word “sou’wester” under the word
________.
a. sou’
b. wester
c. west
d. south
B
Keving Roger used to be my boss. At that time he always told us that we had to sell more and more. As soon as I could, I got a job in another place. The last time I saw Rogers was more than te n years age. At least that’s what I thought until last Thursday. But now I’m not so sure.
I was on my way back to my office in the center of town. There is a small park nearby which I sometimes walk through after lunch. It was almost empty, except for (除了) a shabby-looking (破烂的) man on one of the benches. He looked about fifty years old and was wearing an old gray coat. It was cold and wind, and he was trembling (发抖).
“It’s been a long time since I had a meal. Can you help me” he said. There was something about his ovice that sounded familiar (熟悉). I gave him a few pennies. As he went past me I looked at his face closely. I wondered where I had seen him before. Then it suddenly came to me. Could it possibly be… No ! Impossible, I thought, I watched him walking away. He was the same height as Roger but looked a lot thinner than I remembered. Then as he left the park and turned down the street, I caught sight of his face again. The nost was the same as Rogers’ too. I almost followed him but something made me stop. I just couldn’t be sure.
Yesterday I ran into someone who had worked for Rogers at the same time I did, and had stayed on longer. I started telling him about the man I had seen in the park. “For a moment I thought it was our old boss. The ovice, the nose, and even the face were just like Rogers. But it couldn’t have been. Rogers must be the head of a big company now,” I said.
My ex-colleague (前同事) shook his head. “I thought you knew.”
“Knew Knew what What are you talking about”
“Rogers was sent to prison six years ago. He’s probably out by now. For all I know he’s sleeping on park benches and begging money from passers-by.”
