三、阅读理解
(A)
How did Churchill achieve so much One key to his success was his strictly observed daily schedule.
Churchill is not a particularly early riser, he is a night owl. Around 8 o’clock, he takes off his sleeping mask to the smell of breakfast. On his bed places a tray（托盘）to his own design, with a cutout for his round belly that allows him to have breakfast and work at the same time.
Churchill usually begins the mornings with a full English breakfast, often accompanied by meat from the previous night, and sometimes a glass of wine. As he picks through his tray of food, he peruses the morning newspapers. Sometimes he rises, walking to his beloved Clementine in her separate bedroom, to discuss a startling development. From his battle station he dictates（口述）letters, sips from a glass filled with water and some whisky, and reads until late morning. Then he bathes, dresses and begins his day. Lunch is followed by a walk round the gardens and ponds, cards with family and friends then followed by a nap. His nap is exactly an hour long. It allows him, he says, to get more hours out of every twenty-four.
Churchill’s daily schedule reveals important principles for success: he knows how to get things done. He is one of the most productive men who ever lived. To achieve productively, he always follows two principles. The first he learnt from Napoleon: strength of force in the most important places. The second is economy of effort（节约能量）.
Economy of effort is one of Churchill’s excellent characteristics（特征）. His daily work in bed saves energy for later, when he will often dictate from a stand-up desk. When travelling he is even more economical. Never stand when you can sit down, he will advise a visitor. “Never sit down when you can lie down, and never to miss an opportunity to visit a washroom, as there is no knowing when the next chance will appear.”
26. What does the underlined word “peruses” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Catches. B. Buys. C. Reads. D. Sells.
27. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. Churchill usually gets up very early.
B. Churchill usually walks round the gardens and ponds after lunch.
C. Churchill is very productive.
D. Churchill’s daily work in bed helps him save energy for other things.
28. Which of the following can be used to describe Winston Churchill
A. Hard-working and wise. B. Lazy and narrow-minded.
C. Smart but selfish. D. Stubborn and selfish.
29. Where is this passage possibly from
A. A poster. B. A magazine. C. A comic book. D. A travel guide.
(B)
They say that “travel is the best teacher” and there is no better example of this idea than the Mind Dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country’s land and geography.
Born into a wealthy family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu’s father died and so, it seemed impossible for his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son’s love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother’s support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat his goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming Kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost, however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world.
30. What is the passage mainly about
A. The general details of Xu Xiake’s life story.
B. The difficulties Xu Xiake faced in his travels.
C. The important discoveries made by Xu Xiake.
D. The influence of Xu’s book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
31. Which of the following best describes Xu’s mother
A. Strict but interesting. B. Kind but uneducated.
C. Helpful and hardworking. D. Supportive and open-minded.
32. Why did Xu prefer walking during his travels
A. It gave him the chance to meet different kinds of people.
B. It helped him to save money and travel for a longer time.
C. It allowed him to see and study the environment in detail.
D. It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in.
33. What is true about Xu’s book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake
A. It was only made public after Xu died.
B. It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.
C. It was the first travel book ever written in China.
D. It was mainly about the different people of China.
34. What is the correct order for the following events from Xu’s life
a. He went on his first journey.
b. His book was finally printed.
c. He returned to his hometown for the last time.
d. He developed an interest in books about other places.
e. He started managing the family farm after his father died.
A. a-e-d-c-b B. d-e-a-c-b C. d-e-a-b-c D. e-d-a-b-c
