六、阅读理解

The train started moving. It was packed with people of all ages. Most of them were working men and women and young college boys and girls. Near the window sat an old man with his son, who looked about thirty years old.
As the train moved, the son was filled with joy because he was very excited at the scenery(景色)outside. He said in a high voice, “See Dad, the green trees and the scenery are very beautiful!” It made the other people feel very strange. Everyone started talking in a low voice about the old man’s son. Suddenly, it started raining. Raindrops fell on the travelers through the opened window. Seeing the rain, the old man’s son said happily, “See Dad, how beautiful the rain is!” Hearing these words, a young lady became angry with the man, as the raindrops were dropping on her new clothes. She couldn’t help shouting at the noisy son and his father.
“Can’t you see it is raining You! Old man! If your son is not feeling well, get him to a mental hospital(精神病院)quickly and please don’t disturb(干扰)us any more!” The old man’s face turned slightly red and then in a low voice, he replied, “We are on the way back from hospital. He was blind at birth. Only last week he can see again. The rain and the nature are new to him. Please forgive him.” All the other people became quiet.

American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English.
First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don't know”. Or they may say “Whaddya say ” instead of “What did you say ” however, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary(词汇)for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.
Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”.
There’re also some differences in grammar. For example, when Americans ask a question, they say “Do you have a storybook ” But the British often say “Have you a storybook ”
All these differences can be confusing(易混淆的)if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many. people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.
49. What does the word “separately” mean in this passage It means “______” in Chinese.
A. 含糊地 B. 快速地 C. 分开地 D. 简略地
50. The vocabulary for cars and driving is ______.
A. an example of British English B. an example of American English
C. the same in America and England D. not the same in America and England
51. Languages ______.
A. are always changing as time passes B. keep unchanged even if time changes
C. are the same in all places D. are easy to learn
52. Which of the following is right
A. American people usually say “I don’t know” instead of “I dunno”.
B. There are four differences between American and British English.
C. Canadians speak all the same French as Frenchmen.
D. When people lives in different places, the language in the same ways
(C)
Once upon a time, there lived a farmer. He grew very good corn. Each year, he would take part in the state farmers’ fair and win a top prize for his corn.
The story of the farmer’s success reached the ears of a reporter, and he wanted to interview the farmer. While he was learning about the farmer’s growing skills, he found that the farmer shared his best quality seeds(优质种子)with his neighbors.
“Why couldn’t I ” the farmer replied. “The wind picks up pollen from the corn and moves it from field to field. If my neighbors grow poor quality corn, cross pollination(交叉授粉)will finally degrade(降低)the quality of my corn too. If I want to grow high quality corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn too.”
The farmer’s answer made the reporter understand how wise the old farmer was about connections in life.
It is the same with our lives. Those who choose to live in peace must help others around them to live in peace too. Those who wish to be loved must learn to love others too. Those who wish to live well must help others live well too, as the value of our lives has something to do with the lives we touch.

C. We should try to improve our skills.
D. Loving others makes us richer and richer.
