三、阅读（共两节，满分 35 分）
第一节 阅读理解（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，共 30 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
( A )
The right name is important in the business world. All you have to do is think of the names for some of the
products you buy every day and you'll agree that the name and the product are connected in the everyone's mind.
In many countries, successful trade or brand names are protected by law. This is so that other companies cannot
make a product that looks like another. People might think that they are buying one product and, in fact, be buying
something different. Businesses register a company or a product name with the government. In fact, more than 1,000
第 2 页, 共 7 页
product and company names are registered every hour. Many companies spend a lot of money to find the right name
for their products. A good example of this is in the car industry. Some successful names for cars have powerful
associations(联系). The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar are only two examples of choosing the names of animals that
are fast and strong.
When a U.S. company decides to sell its product in another country, it has to make sure that the product's name
translates properly. When Coca-Cola introduced its soft drink to China, it looked for the right name. It wanted a
name that would do two things. One was to present its image(形象) in Chinese and the second was to be close to its
first brand name—Coke. It took some efforts before finding the right word—which sounds similar and translates as
"happiness in the mouth". Asian company names are not new to the United States. The brand names of Samsung
and Sony have been successful. Finding the right brand name is a big business. Asian companies that sell to foreign
markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers. There are even naming companies that specialize
in inventing product names. These companies can charge(要价) up to $100,000 a word for their creations. But it's
worth it. Successful companies know how important the right brand names are for their growth.
26. Why are trade names protected by law in many countries
A. To make companies pay for naming service.
B. To help people choose the best products.
C. To present good images of the products.
D. To prevent good images from being copied.
27. What was considered when Coca-Cola tried to find a name in Chinese for its product
A. The name should sound powerful.
B. The name should have the same pronunciation as "Coke".
C. The name should be able to pass on the image of the product.
D. The name shouldn’t take lots of efforts to find.
28. What can we learn from the passage
A. Many companies care about the cost of finding the right names.
B. Creative trade names can help companies to have a larger sale.
C. The government often does business with naming companies.
D. It is necessary for cars to be named after animals.
( B )
In the US and Britain, the slogan (标语) around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan
University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay
1 yuan per minute with money or their student ID card. The clock starts moving the minute the tap is turned on. It
stops when a button (按钮) is pressed for soap（香皂）. An IC card reader at each tap shows the time. No money,
no water. The benefit of the new system can be seen with the old system, the university used about 320 tons of water
daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.
Students have different opinions about the new system. Some say it is bad because bathing had become a race.
Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if
their time is up and they’re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.
“It’s a fault in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan
University. The university is also considering some students’ suggestions that they may be allowed to pay after
they’ve finished the shower. But many students say the system helps them develop a water-saving sense.

Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10-20 minutes is enough,” said Dai
Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.
A similar system has been set in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang
Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record
with a two-minute shower.
29. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A. Students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower.
B. The clock times all through while the student is bathing except when the bather stopped for soap.
C. If money runs out, there will be no water.
D. After finishing bathing, the student has to pay for it.
30. Since the new system has performed, ________ of water can be saved.
A. a quarter B. one third C. a half D. two thirds
31. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. The university has saved a lot of water by using the new system.
B. All the students in Wuhan University supported the new system.
C. Students can use IC cards to buy extra time.
D. The new system can raise all the students’ environmental awareness.
32. In which column (专栏) can you find this passage
A. People. B. School Life. C. Society. D. Lifestyle.
( C )
Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. Besides his famous stories, he also wrote many
influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people.
Born in 1881 to a wealthy family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893, however, his grandfather, a senior
government official, was put into prison for taking money. At the same time, his father became seriously ill. From
that time on, his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly
influenced his writing.
By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already believed that Chinese society
had to change and become modern. In 1902 he went to study in Japan. There, he began writing articles for several
Chinese student magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating and even wrote several books, although
none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.
After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918, he wrote his
famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that
people spoke, which helped make it a great success. This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q (1921),
made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.
Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatly about China’s future. In 1926, he moved to Shanghai and gave
up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called “pen warfare”. He now only wrote articles which
called on the people to fight against the government. For this, the government stopped him from publishing any
more books. He was forced to write his articles using false names.
Since his death in 1936, Lu Xun’s importance and influence have grown. Today, many of his writing are included
第 4 页, 共 7 页
in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world.
33. Which of the following greatly influenced Lu Xun’s writing according to the passage
A. The people he met in Japan. B. The experience in his early life.
C. Working as a teacher in Beijing. D. His father’s being put into prison.
34. According to the passage, why was Lu Xun’s story Diary of a Madman so popular
A. It was based on Lu Xun’s diary.
B. It was the first novel to use everyday language.
C. Its story took place in modern times.
D. It was written using a western style.
35. The underlined word “This” (Paragraph 4) refers to ______.
A. the success of Diary of a Madman B. the use of everyday language.
C. the first Chinese novel D. The True Story of Ah Q.
36. In what order did these events take place in Lu Xun’s life
a. The government stopped him from publishing books.
b. He wrote Diary of a Madman.
c. His father became ill.
d. He moved to Shanghai.
