六、阅读理解（共15小题，计30分。其中第一节10小题，计20分；第二节5小题，计
10分）
第一节：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
"Do you like my dress?" she asked a stranger. "My mum made it just for me," she said with tears in her eyes.
"Well, I think it's very pretty, so tell me, little girl, why are you crying?"
The little girl answered in a low voice, "After mum made me this dress, she went away. My
dad says that she's up in heaven (天堂) now with Grandfather."
Finally the woman realized why she was crying. She felt very sorry for the little girl and gently held the child in her arms.
Then suddenly the little girl did something a bit strange. She stopped crying, walked back from the woman and began to sing. She sang softly. It was the sweetest sound the woman had ever heard, almost like the song of a very small bird.
After the child stopped singing, she said to the lady, "My mum often sang that song to me before she went away, and she asked me to sing it whenever I started crying and it would make me stop."
"See," she said loudly, "it did, and now my eyes are dry!"
Just before the lady wanted to go, the girl showed her a spot (印迹) on her dress, and said, "Right here is where my mum kissed (吻) my dress, and here," pointing to another spot, "and here is another kiss, and here, and here. Mum said that she put all those kisses on my dress so that I would forget my sadness."
Then the lady realized that she wasn't just looking at a dress, no, she was looking at a mother. The mother knew that she was going away and would not be there to kiss away her daughter's hurts any longer.
So the mother gave all her love to her beautiful daughter and put it into this dress. Now her
child was wearing it so proudly.
The lady no longer saw a little girl wearing a simple dress. She saw a child wrapped (包) in her mother's love.
46. The little girl was crying because her mother ____.
A. went to a big city B. died
C. went out with her grandfather D. was ill

49. What do we know about the lady in the passage?
A. She was kind to the girl. B. She was beautiful.
C. She was glad to see the girl. D. She was a careless woman.
50. From the story, we learn that _____.
A. the girl's mother went away with her love
B. mother's love is the greatest in the world
C. a girl should wear a dress made by her mother
D. a mother should take her child with her wherever she goes
B
One thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for tea. Today, when we think of western tea culture, we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.
Afternoon tea:
People believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate only two main meals each day, breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o’clock. This meal included cakes, sandwiches, and tea was served to wash down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups, plates, and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used. Soon, afternoon tea parties became popular social occasions. Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.
Will you come for coffee:
Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use words “Will you come for coffee?” to mean “Would you like to come to my home for a chat?” Normally, several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked what you would like. However, you will not normally be offered wine at a “coffee” party.
Coffeehouses and the London Stock Exchange:
In the 17th century London coffeehouses were busy and noisy places. Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to drink coffee. In fact, the London Stock Exchange（股票交易所）is believed to be started from these coffeehouses.
51. Anna introduced the idea of drinking afternoon tea because she ____________.
A. enjoyed chatting with her friends at home
B. loved tea and beautiful china tea cups
C. wanted to share nice food with her friends
D. found people felt hungry during the long wait between the two meals
52. What does “social occasions” mean in Chinese?
A. 集体婚礼 B. 社交活动 C. 社区表演 D. 公共场合
53. If someone says to you “Will you come for coffee?”, you ___________.
A. will be offered coffee only B. will be asked what you would like to drink
C. will be asked to have a chat with him or her
D. are invited to take part in an afternoon tea party
54. From the last paragraph we can see ____________.
A. a new business was started in coffeehouses
B. coffeehouses are still used by businessmen and bankers
C. businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses just for coffee
D. most people wouldn’t like to go to coffeehouses because of the coffee
55. Which is the best title（标题）for this article?
A. British and Chinese Culture B. The Beginning of Tea and Coffee
C. Coffeehouses and Business D. English Tea and Coffee Culture
