三、阅读理解(每小题2分,共30分)
A
When you are asked about the food that sell best in the world, do you often hear about Coca-Cola and McDonald’s Big Macs(巨无霸) from America But think again, because the most successful worldwide food is instant noodles (方便面).
A book called Noodle Stories that was written 55 years after the birth of the instant noodles in Japan, mentioned that there were more than 100 billion cups of instant noodles worldwide in 2012—that’s about 14 cups for every person on Earth. As for noodles themselves, they were invented more than 4, 000 years ago to become a worldwide staple (主食).
　▲　The oldest historical mention of noodles appeared in China 4,000 years ago. Another early mention of noodles appeared in the fifth century AD in Jerusalem.
Momofuku Ando invented instant noodles in Japan in 1958. Few people know that instant noodles play an important role in hunger and disaster (灾害) relief. It’s well-known that they are regarded as junk food, but they are a real "hunger killer". According to an online news report, the fat in instant noodles that is mixed with the delicious soup keeps one feeling full for longer. And that helps explain why "ramen", as they are called in Japanese, have become a staple on the world’s food aid (援助)lists.

One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the guqin, one of the four arts — along with Go, calligraphy(书法)and traditional Chinese painting. It first appeared over 3,000 years ago and stands for China’s solo musical instrument tradition.
At first, the guqin had only five strings(弦), meaning the five elements(元素)of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Later, in the Zhou Dynasty, King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son. King Wu of Zhou added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang.
Ambience was important in playing the guqin. Usually, it was practiced in a quiet setting and never for the public performance. Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains. The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes (回音)from the mountains, until the musician felt he was at one with nature. Playing it in the snow was also an enjoyable activity for ancient artists, who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world. Also, a night with moonlight was considered wonderful for playing the guqin. Wang Wei (701-761), a highly talented man of the Tang Dynasty, liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most.
Guqin pieces are usually two to eight minutes long, with the longest being Guangling Melody, which is 22 minutes long. Other famous pieces include Plum Blossom Melodies, Wild Geese Descending on the Sandbank and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute.
Nowadays, there are fewer than one thousand skilled guqin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters. The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only one hundred pieces by today. The guqin and its music were added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产)in 2003.
31.How many strings does the guqin have today
A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.
32.What’s the meaning of the underlined word "Ambience" in Paragraph 3
A. 演奏技巧 B. 环境氛围
C. 天气状况 D. 弹奏曲目
33.According to the passage, playing the guqin 　　　　is a right choice.
A. at a quiet restaurant
B. at a welcome party
C. in a peaceful yard with flowers
D. on a dark night with rainstorms
34.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The guqin has a history of less than 3,000 years.
B. The strings mean metal, wood, water, fire and stone.
C. The longest guqin piece is Guangling Melody.
D. The guqin is very popular and many people can play it.

How do we know the time A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of telling the time.
About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday(正午). The Egyptians made a sundial (日晷)about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs(发条) were added. This enabled people to get the exact time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz (石英)watch was developed. Clocks became cheaper to make. It’s also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses,markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.
36.According to the passage, we can’t use a 　　　　to tell the time on a rainy day.
A. water clock B. sun clock
C. digital clock D. mechanical clock
37.What’s the meaning of the underlined word "ordinary" in the third paragraph
A. 现代的 B. 特殊的 C. 富有的 D. 普通的
38.Which of the following is not TRUE according to the passage
A. A sundial was made by the Egyptians about 3,500 years ago.
B. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun.
C. The mechanical clock was more exact than a sundial.
D. In 1927 came the digital clock.
39.Which of the following shows the structure(结构)of the passage
(①=Paragraph 1　②=Paragraph 2...)
A.　　　 B.　　 C.　　　 　D.
40.What does the passage mainly talk about
A. The importance of time.
B. The development of timekeeping.
C. The inventions of clocks.
D. The history of a digital clock.

37.D　词义猜测题。画线词是ordinary,它修饰的是people,根据上下文的描述可推断,制造钟表的成本变得更低了,所以对于普通人来说,拥有一个钟表花的钱更少了,故ordinary意为"普通的"。
