三、阅读理解(共12小题;每小题3分,满分36分)
A
Three weeks before the May Day holiday,Tong Zhuo,a 24 year old computer engineer in Nanjing,started getting busy. He was trying to get in touch with friends on MSN to arrange a trip to the annual Midi Music Festival in Beijing during the holiday.
Although Tong failed in his job hunt,he felt less frustrated after visiting the festival at the invitation of a friend. “It was the first time that I saw so many crazy people gather together. When the music reached a climax,people kept yelling,jumping and bumping each other. You felt excited even if you weren't as high as they were,” recalled Tong.
Midi,which is held May 1 4,started in 1999 and has grown into China's largest outdoor music festival. The festival is named after Beijing's Midi Music School,which started the event. This year's festival will have 84 bands,22 of them foreign. It will be held in Haidian Park,northwest Beijing.
Outdoor music festivals have been around for decades in the West. They often stand for a kind of different belief. The Woodstock Festival in the US in 1969 is an example. It took place while the US was involved in the Vietnam war and was used to express young people’s love of peace.
China's Midi has become a good place for young people as well. “The biggest attraction of Midi is that it is an event for all young people,whether they know rock or not. They can come and have fun together,” says Li Wei,a general manager of Beijing Midi Performance Company,the festival organizer. “Besides,the open environment of an outdoor festival attracts young people. Without the restrictions of seats and walls,people are more likely to relax themselves. There's often more interaction between the audience and performers.”
31. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Midi Music Festival in Beijing B. Tong Zhuo—a music lover
C. The joy of Midi Music Festival D. The history of Mini Music Festival
32. Before May Day,Tong Zhuo started getting busy because ________.
A. he was very busy with his computer work
B. he was preparing for the Midi Music Festival
C. he wanted to attend Beijing's Midi Music School
D. he was busy hunting for jobs
33. Which of the following statements is WRONG about Midi Music Festivals
A. Midi Music Festival is held every year in Beijing.
B. You can relax yourself as you like in the festival.
C. The festival is named after a school.
D. Only those who know music can take part in the festival.
34. Which of the following is not the reason why Midi Music is popular with Chinese young people
A. full of energy and life B. the open environment
C. freedom and interaction D. its popularity in the West
B
Children who drink alcohol with their parents are less likely to binge drink(狂饮)in later life,a recent report claimed yesterday.
The survey of 10,000 teens aged 15 and 16 found 75 per cent have drunk alcohol—but those who do it in moderation (适度地) at home are less likely to go on binges.
On the other hand,the findings contradict a recent call from charity Alcohol Concern for parents. Prof Mark Bellis,of Liverpool John Moores University,told Radio 4's Today programme that this would only make matters worse.
He said: “The key points are around people understanding alcohol,learning about alcohol,being set a good example by parents. Something that criminalizes (宣布有罪) the parents is likely to stop these things happening.”
Teenagers who bought their own alcohol outside the home were also more likely to develop problems such as drinking in public places,the report found. It advised parents to keep pocket money below £10 a week.
Prof Bellis,whose team carried out the survey in schools in the North West,added: “By the age of 14 the majority are drinking.”
“The question is,are they learning in a proper environment or learning behind the bushes in a park or in a bar?”
“The chances are if they are in the latter position,they are learning to binge drink easily.”
35. The author writes the passage mainly to tell us that ________.
A. home drink kids don’t binge B. a recent report on problem boozers is announced
C. parents are a good example for children D. the prevention of binging drink is possible
36. Which of the following is the closest to the underlined word “contradict” in meaning
A. are the same as B. are similar to C. think well of D. disagree with
37. Prof Bellis thinks the key to dealing with the problem is ________.
A. examples and understanding B. education and punishment
C. lowering pocket money D. law and advice centres
38. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. parents should answer for those who binge drink
B. drinking is a common and acceptable thing in Britain
C. well behaved parents usaully don’t have children who binge drink
D. teenagers who drink outside the home were more likely to develop drinking problems
C
As one comes to some crossroads, he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.
Mr Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.
At once he heard a police whistle (口哨声), so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didn’t stop at that crossing.” “But the sign there doesn't say ‘STOP’.” answered Mr Williams, “It just says ‘SLOW’, and I did go slow.”
The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched (抓) his head and said, “Well,I'm in the wrong street!”
39. Mr Williams was driving ____ one evening.
A. to a party B. to his office
C. home after work D. to work from home
40. When he was stopped by a policeman, he ____.
A. was driving at a high speed B. was driving onto the main road
C. was going to stop his car D. was driving slowly
41. Though slowly, Mr Williams continued driving at the crossing because____.
A. he didn't see any “STOP” sign there
B. he paid no attention to the traffic rules
C. he didn't have to stop
D. he was eager to get home
42. Looking round Mr Williams, the policeman was surprised because____.
A. he met a mad man
B. he realized that he himself was mistaken
C. Mr Williams dared to speak to him like that
D. Mr Williams would not apologize to him

34. D 归纳概括题。由最后一段我们可以归纳出A、B、C三项均是Midi Music受青年人喜欢的原因。文章中谈到了Midi Music在西方国家也受青年人的青睐,但不能作为中国青年人喜欢Midi Music的原因。故答案为D。
35. A 写作意图题。从第一、二段可知,本文介绍了的一份研究报告——在家和父母一起有节制地饮酒不会引起狂饮症。这正是作者的写作意图。
36. D 词义猜测题。由 “On the other hand(另一方面)”,和 “... would only make matters worse.”可以推测出contradict的意思为 “与……矛盾;与……抵触”,故D项为最佳答案。
37. A 细节理解题。由第四段 “The key points are around people understanding alcohol,learning about alcohol,being set a good example by parents.”可知答案为A。
38. A 推理判断题。由第4、5段Prof Mark Bellis所说的话可以推出父母应该对有狂饮问题的孩子负责。其他C、D项文中有明确表述;B项文中未提及。
本文讲述了一个人明明遵守了交通规则,但由于警察自己站错了街道位置而产生了误会的故事。
39. C 文中第二段提到“...was driving home from work”。
40. B 第二段中提到“He slowed down when he came to the main road...”。
41. C 根据文章意思,Mr Williams 只需要慢行,不必停下来。
