四．Reading （20‘）
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation（仿效）.It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact（联系）with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

第三部分：阅读理解 （共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
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
For more than two days in September 1974, the people of Honduras shut their windows, locked their doors and covered in their homes. Fifi was outside, and they were frightened.
By the time Fifi had left, 8,000 people were dead, Fifi wasn’t a pet dog as the name suggests. It was a hurricane, one of the most destructive natural phenomena in the world.
Why do we give human names to storms and hurricanes?
We didn’t always. Two hundred years ago, many hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the saint’s(基督徒的)day on which the storm occurred. Later, storms were known by the name of the city where they came ashore.
Meteorologists (气象学家) then tried naming storms after the latitude (纬度) and longitude (经度) where they occurred.
Finally, in 1953, hurricanes started getting people’s names —specifically, female names. Male names were added in 1979.
There are six sets of names for what the experts call “Atlantic tropical cyclones”( 热带风暴).
Each list is used every six years and consists of 21 names, starting with every letter but Q, U, X, Y ,Z. the names alternate （交替）between male and female.
A storm won’t get a name until its winds reach 39 mph or about 62.4 kph, at which point it becomes a tropical storm. At 74 mph or 118.4 kph it’s declared a hurricane.
The 126 names on the list are used only for storms that form off the Atlantic coast of the US. There are separate lists for the Pacific.
So what happens if a hurricane should cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific? It’s happened before. The storm just gets a new name and sometimes a new sex.
Max Mayfield is the director of the National Hurricane Centre, headquartered in Miami, Florida. He is in charge of picking new names for storms off the Atlantic coast.
He doesn’t do it alone, though. His counterparts in two dozen other countries in the Caribbean, Central America and North America vote on what names will replace retired names.
56.From the first paragraph we can find that ___.
A. Honduras is a country which was destroyed by Fifi
B. Honduras is a country which has no mountains
C. Honduras is a country which faces the ocean.
D. Honduras is a country which lies at high latitude
57.Which of the following is true according to the passage ?
A. There were no hurricanes two centuries ago .
B. The Caribbean is a state of the United States.
C. The Caribbean is a place where hurricanes occur often .
D. Fifi was formed off the Pacific.
58.The names for storms and hurricanes, as this passage shows, ___.
A. are set for use. B. are all from American English
C. are difficult to spell D. are easy to fix
59. The underlined word “counterparts” in the last paragraph means ___.
A. citizens holding the same opinion B. people with a similar position or fun_ction
C. passengers traveling by sea D. assistants working abroad
60. Which list could be used to name the five storms from the Atlantic in a year ?
A. David, Helen, Jack ,Mike, Lucy B. Lucy, Mary, Owen, Nina, Peter
C. Sam, Tina, Victor, Wanda, Yeats D. Peter, Rose, Sam, Tereasa, Victor
B
Are you short? Tall? Do you like pumpkins but hate mayonnaise（蛋黄酱）? Whatever your interests, there’s a club, society, or group for you.
America is home to abut 25,000 clubs, associations, societies, organizations, and other groups that all sorts of people join. If you are very short, there are the “Short Stature Foundation” and the Little People of America.” If you are tall, there are dozens of clubs for tall people.
If you can’t stand mayo, there’s the “I Hate Mayonnaise” club: members get the No Mayo newsletter, and a list of mayo－free restaurants.
Many people claim to have seen the rock stat Elvis Presley, even after his death in 1977. Maybe that’s because so many people dress up and act like Elvis. Some of them formed the “Elvis Presley Impersonators Association International.”
If you like to sing along through a microphone as you listen to music, you might consider the “Karaoke International Sing－Along Association.”
The “International Organization of Nerds” has more than 10,000 members. It is led by a man in Cincinnati, Ohio, who calls himself the Supreme Archnerd. He says membership may be for you if your eyeglasses are held together with tape, you keep at least 37 ball－point pens in a plastic pocket protector, and you wear slacks and shirts of clashing plaids（方格呢）.
Many clubs are devoted to food. The “International Banana Club” wants people everywhere to smile in a world that is “going bananas”. The club has a library and museum of about 12,000 important banana artifacts. The “International Pumpkin Association” is devoted to growing huge pumpkins. “Slow Food Foundation” is a club that objects to fast－food places and promotes the joy of leisurely dining.
Because so many people love animals, there are many clubs to protect favored creatures. For instance, “Bat Conversation International” wants people to know about the many good points of bats. One example: Bats eat tons of insects, which would otherwise bother people.
61. The purpose of this article is to show that ___.
A. most clubs in the United States are for young people
B. there are many different kinds of clubs in the U.S.
C. most Americans join clubs
D. how to choose a club that fits you

65. If you are a person who has no interest in everything, you should attend ___.
A. Slow Food Foundation
B. Karaoke International Sing－Along Association
C. International Organization of Nerds
D. Little People of America
C
“Keep your eyes on the ball.” That is good advice when you are on the playing field, and good advice for everyday life. “Keep your mind on what’s important,” is the way I’d put it. But people are funny, They think too much about the details.
I had a secretary once. She was very hardworking. I ran a school and people used to callup to enroll for courses. Berry used to get angry at the phone. “If they keep on ringing, I’ll never get my typing done!” she’d shout.
People just don’t see the big picture. One evening, after leaving work, I was sitting next to a man on the train. I was feeling tired. My eyes fell on the paper the has spread out in front of him. You know how you feel to read over someone’s shoulder?
I read the page and leaned back. I guessed I was waiting for him to turn it. After a while, I realized—he wasn’t turning the page. He just kept on reading.
Now if you knew the rag he was reading, you’d know that there weren’t many words on the page to read anyway. The layout was mostly pictures. So I turned to the man and said,” You know, you really read very slowly.”
“What do you mean ?” he asked. “Well,” I told him, “I read the page in about a minute, and you have taken about ten. And you are still reading. You know,” I went on “If you learned to read faster, you could get more reading done.” He remained silent for a minute or two. “If I read too fast, my paper wouldn’t last me to my station.”
66. The passage is mainly about the writer’s opinion on people’s ___.
A. judgement B. work C. life D. habits
67. What did the secretary think of the students calling up to enroll?
A．She thought they needed her help.
B．She thought getting more students enrolled was more important.
C．She thought her work was more important.
D．She thought her boss needed her typing finished soon.
68. The writer wasn’t satisfied with his secretary because ___.
A．she didn’t put first thing first B．she was too busy
C．she was easy to get angry D．she couldn’t finish her work on time
69. The train rider read newspaper ___.
A．to absorb information B. to enjoy pictures
C. to save time D. to kill time
70. The writer thinks that people seem to need a sense of ___.
A．what to read first B. how to read fast
C. what is important D. what is funny
D
Notices have been put up here and there in the village for the last fortnight announcing a meeting to discuss the yearly Flower Show, which has not been held in Fairacre for a number of years. Before I became the village schoolmistress here, the Flower Show appeared to have been a event of some importance and people came from miles around to enjoy a day at Fairacre. It was normally held in a field at the side of the church. I decided to go to the meeting, as the children in my school, I know, used to play quite a large part in this village excitement and there were a number of special competitions, such as collecting wild flowers, making dolls, house decorations or little gardens and so on , included in the program. Also, with the example of Mr. Annett’s gardening efforts at Beech Green in mind, I had been considering for some time a school garden of our own, and village show should give our efforts additional encouragement.
It was a frosty, starlit night and the usually muddy approach to the Village Hall was hard and rough underfoot. By the time I arrived there were about ten people already in the hall. The doctor was chairman of the meeting. Mrs. Partridge was in the front row and Mr. Willer and a few other men were warming their hand over the rather smoky old stove which was trying somewhat inefficiently, to warm the room. There was a strong smell of oil. Mixed with the smoke from coarse tobacco.
71. The purpose of the meeting was ___.
A．making arrangements for the next Flower Show
B．getting people’s idea about the next Flower Show
C．finding out whether people wanted to have a Flower Show again
D．finding out whether people would help with the Flower Show
72. The meeting took place on a ___.
A. clear warm evening B. cold cloudy evening
C. very dark winter evening D. clear cold evening
73. As the writer went along the path to the hall ___.
A．her feet sank into the wet earth
B．she found the ground firm to walk on
C．she slipped about on a frozen path
D．she had difficulty in finding her way in the darkness
74. One reason for the writer’s attendance was that ____.
A．the school students had always take part in the Flower Show
B．she wanted to find out what the children could do to help
C．she wanted to know what special lessons to give the children
D．she had ideas for what the children could do in the Flower Show
75. Another reason why she felt interested was that ___.
A．the children might be more interested in a school garden afterwards
B．the children wanted to learn more about gardens
C．the children might study harder than before
D．the children could learn a lot from making various things.

四．Reading （20‘）
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation（仿效）.It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact（联系）with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

第三部分：阅读理解 （共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
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
For more than two days in September 1974, the people of Honduras shut their windows, locked their doors and covered in their homes. Fifi was outside, and they were frightened.
By the time Fifi had left, 8,000 people were dead, Fifi wasn’t a pet dog as the name suggests. It was a hurricane, one of the most destructive natural phenomena in the world.
Why do we give human names to storms and hurricanes?
We didn’t always. Two hundred years ago, many hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the saint’s(基督徒的)day on which the storm occurred. Later, storms were known by the name of the city where they came ashore.
Meteorologists (气象学家) then tried naming storms after the latitude (纬度) and longitude (经度) where they occurred.
Finally, in 1953, hurricanes started getting people’s names —specifically, female names. Male names were added in 1979.
There are six sets of names for what the experts call “Atlantic tropical cyclones”( 热带风暴).
Each list is used every six years and consists of 21 names, starting with every letter but Q, U, X, Y ,Z. the names alternate （交替）between male and female.
A storm won’t get a name until its winds reach 39 mph or about 62.4 kph, at which point it becomes a tropical storm. At 74 mph or 118.4 kph it’s declared a hurricane.
The 126 names on the list are used only for storms that form off the Atlantic coast of the US. There are separate lists for the Pacific.
So what happens if a hurricane should cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific? It’s happened before. The storm just gets a new name and sometimes a new sex.
Max Mayfield is the director of the National Hurricane Centre, headquartered in Miami, Florida. He is in charge of picking new names for storms off the Atlantic coast.
He doesn’t do it alone, though. His counterparts in two dozen other countries in the Caribbean, Central America and North America vote on what names will replace retired names.
56.From the first paragraph we can find that ___.
A. Honduras is a country which was destroyed by Fifi
B. Honduras is a country which has no mountains
C. Honduras is a country which faces the ocean.
D. Honduras is a country which lies at high latitude
57.Which of the following is true according to the passage ?
A. There were no hurricanes two centuries ago .
B. The Caribbean is a state of the United States.
C. The Caribbean is a place where hurricanes occur often .
D. Fifi was formed off the Pacific.
58.The names for storms and hurricanes, as this passage shows, ___.
A. are set for use. B. are all from American English
C. are difficult to spell D. are easy to fix
59. The underlined word “counterparts” in the last paragraph means ___.
A. citizens holding the same opinion B. people with a similar position or fun_ction
C. passengers traveling by sea D. assistants working abroad
60. Which list could be used to name the five storms from the Atlantic in a year ?
A. David, Helen, Jack ,Mike, Lucy B. Lucy, Mary, Owen, Nina, Peter
C. Sam, Tina, Victor, Wanda, Yeats D. Peter, Rose, Sam, Tereasa, Victor

Are you short? Tall? Do you like pumpkins but hate mayonnaise（蛋黄酱）? Whatever your interests, there’s a club, society, or group for you.
America is home to abut 25,000 clubs, associations, societies, organizations, and other groups that all sorts of people join. If you are very short, there are the “Short Stature Foundation” and the Little People of America.” If you are tall, there are dozens of clubs for tall people.
If you can’t stand mayo, there’s the “I Hate Mayonnaise” club: members get the No Mayo newsletter, and a list of mayo－free restaurants.
Many people claim to have seen the rock stat Elvis Presley, even after his death in 1977. Maybe that’s because so many people dress up and act like Elvis. Some of them formed the “Elvis Presley Impersonators Association International.”
If you like to sing along through a microphone as you listen to music, you might consider the “Karaoke International Sing－Along Association.”
The “International Organization of Nerds” has more than 10,000 members. It is led by a man in Cincinnati, Ohio, who calls himself the Supreme Archnerd. He says membership may be for you if your eyeglasses are held together with tape, you keep at least 37 ball－point pens in a plastic pocket protector, and you wear slacks and shirts of clashing plaids（方格呢）.
Many clubs are devoted to food. The “International Banana Club” wants people everywhere to smile in a world that is “going bananas”. The club has a library and museum of about 12,000 important banana artifacts. The “International Pumpkin Association” is devoted to growing huge pumpkins. “Slow Food Foundation” is a club that objects to fast－food places and promotes the joy of leisurely dining.
Because so many people love animals, there are many clubs to protect favored creatures. For instance, “Bat Conversation International” wants people to know about the many good points of bats. One example: Bats eat tons of insects, which would otherwise bother people.

“Keep your eyes on the ball.” That is good advice when you are on the playing field, and good advice for everyday life. “Keep your mind on what’s important,” is the way I’d put it. But people are funny, They think too much about the details.
I had a secretary once. She was very hardworking. I ran a school and people used to callup to enroll for courses. Berry used to get angry at the phone. “If they keep on ringing, I’ll never get my typing done!” she’d shout.
People just don’t see the big picture. One evening, after leaving work, I was sitting next to a man on the train. I was feeling tired. My eyes fell on the paper the has spread out in front of him. You know how you feel to read over someone’s shoulder?
I read the page and leaned back. I guessed I was waiting for him to turn it. After a while, I realized—he wasn’t turning the page. He just kept on reading.
Now if you knew the rag he was reading, you’d know that there weren’t many words on the page to read anyway. The layout was mostly pictures. So I turned to the man and said,” You know, you really read very slowly.”
“What do you mean ?” he asked. “Well,” I told him, “I read the page in about a minute, and you have taken about ten. And you are still reading. You know,” I went on “If you learned to read faster, you could get more reading done.” He remained silent for a minute or two. “If I read too fast, my paper wouldn’t last me to my station.”
66. The passage is mainly about the writer’s opinion on people’s ___.
A. judgement B. work C. life D. habits

Notices have been put up here and there in the village for the last fortnight announcing a meeting to discuss the yearly Flower Show, which has not been held in Fairacre for a number of years. Before I became the village schoolmistress here, the Flower Show appeared to have been a event of some importance and people came from miles around to enjoy a day at Fairacre. It was normally held in a field at the side of the church. I decided to go to the meeting, as the children in my school, I know, used to play quite a large part in this village excitement and there were a number of special competitions, such as collecting wild flowers, making dolls, house decorations or little gardens and so on , included in the program. Also, with the example of Mr. Annett’s gardening efforts at Beech Green in mind, I had been considering for some time a school garden of our own, and village show should give our efforts additional encouragement.
It was a frosty, starlit night and the usually muddy approach to the Village Hall was hard and rough underfoot. By the time I arrived there were about ten people already in the hall. The doctor was chairman of the meeting. Mrs. Partridge was in the front row and Mr. Willer and a few other men were warming their hand over the rather smoky old stove which was trying somewhat inefficiently, to warm the room. There was a strong smell of oil. Mixed with the smoke from coarse tobacco.
71. The purpose of the meeting was ___.
A．making arrangements for the next Flower Show
B．getting people’s idea about the next Flower Show
C．finding out whether people wanted to have a Flower Show again
D．finding out whether people would help with the Flower Show
72. The meeting took place on a ___.
A. clear warm evening B. cold cloudy evening
C. very dark winter evening D. clear cold evening
73. As the writer went along the path to the hall ___.
A．her feet sank into the wet earth
B．she found the ground firm to walk on
C．she slipped about on a frozen path
D．she had difficulty in finding her way in the darkness
74. One reason for the writer’s attendance was that ____.
A．the school students had always take part in the Flower Show
B．she wanted to find out what the children could do to help
C．she wanted to know what special lessons to give the children
D．she had ideas for what the children could do in the Flower Show
75. Another reason why she felt interested was that ___.
