第三部分: 阅读理解(共20小题,每题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
Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate(exact) as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particular expression as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on, But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation(模仿) leads on to deliberate(有意义) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.
It is a problem we need to get our teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation; and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use, at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at another time for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself. I doubt, however, whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of his ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.
46.Children who start speaking late .
A.may have problems with their listening
B.probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
C.usually pay close attention to what they hear
D.often take a long time in learning to listen properly
47.A baby’s first noises are .
A.an expression of his moods and feelings
B.an early form of language
C.a sign that he means to tell you something
D.an imitation of the speech of adults
48.The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitation can be considered as speech .
A.is important because words have different meanings for different people
B.is not especially important because the change takes place gradually
C.is one that can never be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with
age
D.is one that should be completely ignored(忽略) because children’s use of words is often
meaningless
49.The speaker implies .
A.parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds
B.children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak
C.children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly
D.even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating
B
When a match is lit, a yellow flame burns upwards. A candle also has a yellow flame when it is lit, and this flame burns upwards, too. All burning substances(物质) have flames---from a coal fire, a piece of paper, a gas cooker, or even a house on fire. The flames may be yellow or of other colors, but they always burn upwards, never downwards. This is because the flame is a hot gas, and hot gases, being lighter than cold ones, always rise. Flames are caused because of the way things burn. When something
burns, it becomes so hot that it turns into a gas. But every substance needs air to help it burn; a flame is caused by the hot gas of the substance mixing with the air. If there were no air, there would be no flame, and the burning would stop.
50. _________ when a house is on fire.
A. All burn downward B. A flame burns upwards
C. There is something rising D. Nothing can be seen
51. Flames always burn upwards because ____________.
A. they are yellow B. they are lighter than cold gases
C. they are of colors D. they are lighter than hot gases
52. This passage mainly talks about ________.
A. burning B. a match C. flames D. hot gases
C
Mother's Day is a holiday that honors mothers. It is celebrated in the United States, England, Sweden, India, Mexico and some other countries. In the United States, it is celebrated on the second Sunday in May every year. Many people celebrate the day by sending gifts or other token(纪念品) of love and respect to their mothers. Those whose mothers are living often wear a red rose or carnation, while those whose mothers are
dead wear a white one. The idea of setting aside a day to honor mothers was first proposed by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadephia. As a result of her efforts, the first American Mother's Day celebration was held in Philadaphia on May 10,1908.The idea quickly became popular throughout the nation and around the world.
53. Which of the following is true
A. Mother's Day is celebrated in every country.

A laboratory at the University of Chicago is busy on at night. It is a dream laboratory where researchers are at work studying dreamers. Their findings have proved that everyone dreams from three to seven times a night, although in ordinary life a person may remember none or only one of his dreams.
While the subjects--usually students--are asleep, special machines record their brain waves and eye movements as well as the body movements that signal the end of a dream. Surprisingly, all subjects sleep soundly.
Researchers report that a person usually fidgets(心神不安) before a dream. Once the dream has started, his body relaxes and his eyes become more active, as if the curtain had gone up on a show. As soon as the machine shows that the dream is over, a buzzer wakens the sleeper. He sits up, records his dream, and goes back to sleep--perhaps to dream some more.
Researchers have found that if the dreamer is wakened immediately after his dream, he can usually recall the entire dream. If he is allowed to sleep even five more minutes, his memory of the dream will have faded.
56. According to the passage, researchers at the University of Chicago are studying _______.
A. the content of dreams B. the meaning of dreams
C. the process of sleeping D. dreamers while they dream
57. Their findings have proved that ________.
A. everyone dreams every night B. dreams are easily remembered
C. dreams are likely to be frightening D. persons dream only one dream a night.
58. The researchers were surprised to find that _______.
A. dream memories are often incomplete B. persons sleep soundly while they dream
C. sleepers relax while dreaming D. dreamers can record their own dreams
59. Just before a dream a sleeper will usually ________.
A. relax B. lie perfectly still
C. fidget D. make more eye movements
60. In the dream laboratory, the dreams are recorded ________.
A. as soon as the student wakes in the morning

Bond had walked for only a few minutes when it suddenly occurred to him that he was being followed. There was no evidence for it except a slight headache and a little knowing the people near him but believed in his sixth sense and he at once stopped in front of the shop window he was passing and looked occasionally back along 46th Street. Nothing but a lot of miscellaneous people moving slowly on the sidewalks, mostly on the same side as himself, the side that was back from the sun. There was no sudden movement into a doorway, nobody wiping his face with a handkerchief to avoid recognition, nobody bending down to tie a shoelace.
He went on and turned into the Avenue of the Americans, stopping in the first doorway, the entrance to a woman’s underwear store where a man in a blue suit with his back to him was examining the black lace paints on a particularly realistic dummy(模型).
And then something grasped his arm and a voice came, “All right, Limey. Take it easy unless you want lead for lunch,” and he felt something press into his back just above the kidney.
There was a tap as his fist was caught in the other man’s left hand, and at the same time as the contact telegraphed to Bond’s mind that there could have been no gun, there came the well remembered laugh and the lazy voice saying: “No good, James. The angles have got you.”
Bond straightened himself slowly and for a moment he could only gaze into the smiling face of Felix Leiter with blank disbelief, his built – up tension(紧张)slowly relaxing.
“So you were doing a front tail, you bastard,” he finally said.
61.Bond realized that he was being followed by means of .
A.his common sense B.his sense of humor
C.his sight D.his sixth sense
62.When Bond stopped and looked back along 46th Street, he observed all the following except .
A.most people on the sidewalks were on the same side as himself
B.no one suddenly turned into a doorway
C.a man was looking into the window of a store
D.no one wiped his face with a handkerchief
63.Why did Bond stop in the doorway to the underwear shop
A.To see who was following him. B.To look at the man in the fun suit.
C.To avoid the sunshine. D.To look at the underwear.
64.What did the man mean by saying “Take it easy unless you want lead for lunch.”
A.Put up your hands.
B.Don’t move or I’ll shoot you.
C.If you want to have lunch, you must listen to me.
D.You go first slowly and we’ll have lunch together.
65.What is “a front tail”
A.Pretending to be someone else. B.Following somebody from in front.
C.Following someone from behind. D.Standing in front of a shop window.
