第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题，每题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Hunting for a job is a painful experience, which nearly everyone must endure at least once in a lifetime. Books are published and magazine articles are written on the subject, all trying to tell job seekers what they should do or avoid doing in order to win the game. They can’t calm the nervous applicant but they do offer some advice.
To begin with, it is not a good idea to be late. Job interviewers don’t think very highly of the candidate (应聘者) who arrives twenty minutes after the appointed time. The wise job seeker explores the place the day before. Next day he arrives early for the appointment.
What makes a good impression Being on time does, then, appearance. It is essential for the candidate to be dressed properly and to look alive. It is also very important to look the interviewer in the eye because this “eye contact ” gives a strong impression of sincerity and openness.
Many candidates waste a good part of the interview explaining why they want the job; the man or woman on the other side of the desk is waiting to hear why the would – be employee would be good for the position and for the company.
It is very difficult task to display oneself to a possible employer: one must not be too humble since it is essential to show one’s good points and experiences. However, bragging (说大话) doesn’t make a very good impression. One thing is certain: interview time is a time for honesty. The interviewer is trying to discover not only the professional worth but also the character of the man or the woman he is meeting. Therefore, he must rely on his observation of the applicant, her manners, what she says and how she says it.
While this examination is going on the job seeker should remember that she too has a right to be curious. It is recommended that the applicant ask some serious questions about the job, the company, and its future. If the questions are intelligent, they will impress the interviewer favourably.
56．The writer’s purpose in writing the passage is to .
A．offer tips on job seeking. B．warn applicants not to be nervous.
C．analyze the thinking of interviewers D．stress the difficulty of job seeking
57．Which of the following shows whether an applicant could benefit the company
A．How early he / she is. B．What he / she is wearing.
C．His / Her explanation for the job. D．His / Her manners.
58．Which of the following statements would the writer agree with
A．Job seekers should be as early as possible.
B．Job seekers should be dressed as well as possible.
C．Interviewers pay a lot of attention to applicants’ behaviour.
D．Interviewers encourage applicants to ask questions.
B
Marriage Customs
Despite the recent growth in the number of divorces, we in the West still tend to regard courtship (求爱) and marriage as a romantic business. Boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, boy asks girl to marry him, girl accepts, wedding, flowers, big celebration.
But in other parts of the world things work differently. In India, for instance, arranged marriage is still very common. An intermediary (中间人), usually a married lady, learns that a young man wishes to get married and she begins to find him a suitable wife. The young couple meets for the first time on the day of the wedding.
In Japan, too, arranged marriages still take place. But things are organized in different way there. A girl wishes to find a husband, and the girl’s mother, or an aunt perhaps, approaches the mother of a suitable young man and the young couple are introduced. They get a chance to have a look at one another and if one of them says “Oh, no, I could never marry him or her”, they call the whole thing off. But if they like one another, then the wedding goes ahead.
In parts of Africa, a man is allowed to have several wives. Now that sounds fine from the man’s point of view, but in fact the man is taking on a great responsibility. When he takes a new wife and buys her a nice present, he has to buy all his other wives presents of equal value and, although we are obviously speaking of a male – dominated society, the wives often become very close and also, if there is disagreement in the family, the husband has three or four wives to argue with instead of just one.
It is true that American women brought up in the United States, who married Africans and went to live in Africa, have sometimes found it very difficult to take the role of the wife of an African living in African. Now most people, being used to the Western style of courtship and marriage, will think that this is the best system and the one with the greatest chance of producing a happy marriage. However, my observations have led me to believe that various forms of arranged marriages have just as much chance of bringing happiness to the husband and wife as our Western system of choosing marriage partners.
59．According to the passage, in the West, .
A．more and more people get divorced
B．fewer and fewer people get divorced
C．nobody gets divorced at all
D．50 percent of the married people get divorced
60．The word “arranged ” in Paragraph 2 probably means .
A．arranged themselves. B．arranged well
C．arranged by the intermediary D．arranged by God
61．According to Paragraph 4, the author thinks a man .
A．should not have more than one wife.
B．should have more than one wife.
C．with more than one wife will take one more responsibilities.
D．with more than one wife will be happier.

They were just an ordinary pair of jeans bought in a second – hand shop. But when four girls discover that the jeans look good on all of them, despite their different figures and heights, they realize “these are magical trousers!”
The four girls – Carmen, Tibby, Lena and Bridget – have been best friends all their lives. They live in the same small American town and usually spend every moment of their long summer holidays together.
This year they all turn 16. It is the first time they have separate plans for the summer, but the girls are determined to keep in touch. They hit upon a wonderful plan of sharing the jeans throughout the holiday by sending them on to the next friend when they feel the time is right.
When they meet up at the end of the summer, they will record their favourite adventures on the trouser legs.
Based on American writer Ann Brashares’ best – selling novel, the film “The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants ” tells the story of the girls’ summer trips. It will be released on June 1 in the United States.
Beautiful Lena is going to Greece to be with her grandparents; strong, athletic Bridget is off to a football camp in California; hot – tempered Carmen plans to have her divorced (离婚的) father all to herself in South Carolina; and Tibby, the rebel will be left at home to work hard for little money.
Over the summer the jeans come to represent friendship and growing up. Lena finds ways to communicate with her grandparents she once thought were boring; Bridget falls in love with an older camp coach; Carmen finds out her father is engaged to a woman with two children; and Tibby makes friends with a 12 – year – old who is dying of cancer.
Even though the four girls miss each other, being apart takes each of them on their own adventures of love, courage and forgiveness. They grow and begin to understand the world and themselves.
62．Why did they think “these are magical trousers”
A．Because these trousers were just an ordinary pair.
B．Because these trousers were bought in a second – hand shop.
C．Because the four girls discovered the jeans look good.
D．Because these trousers looked good when any one of the four wore them.
63．Which sentence about the four girls is NOT true
A．The four girls are of the same age.
B．They have been best friends all their lives.
C．They live in the same small American town.
D．They always spend their long summer holidays together.
64．The reason why they make a plan of sharing the jeans throughout the holiday is that .
A．they want to record their favourite adventures on the trouser legs.
B．they are determined to keep in touch during their summer holidays.
C．the activity was arranged by their teachers and parents.
D．if they don’t do so they will not meet up at the end of the summer.
65．During the summer vacation what happened to the four girls
A．Strong, athletic Bridget plans to have her divorced father all to herself.
B．Tibby, the rebel, makes friends with a 12 – year – old patient.
C．Beautiful Lena falls in love with an older camp coach.
D．Hot – tempered Carmen finds ways to communicate with her grandparents she once thought were boring.
D
When you watch TV programmes about wild animals, it is amazing to see how an antelope can escape a lion’s attack. In the wilderness, everyone has a stunt (绝技). Even plants have their own ways of fighting off enemies.
Over millions of years of evolution, plants have developed a unique defence system. Chemicals are widely used for survival, By making their leaves, flowers, stems, roots and fruits distasteful or poisonous to predators (食肉动物), plants can fight back.
One such plant is the Gold Wattle tree. British botanist David Cameron has found that when an animal eats the tree’s leaves, the amount of poisonous tannin (丹宁酸) increases in the other leaves. “It’s like the damaged leaves telephoning the others telling them to fight together against the enemy,” he said.
The tree also sends defence messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle trees in the surrounding 45 meters will get the message and produce more tannin within 10 minutes. Now, if a predator eats too many of the trees’ leaves, it will die.
Every species of plant or tree specializes in the production of a particular set of chemicals. A herbivore (草食动物) that can safely eat the leaves of one tree may be poisoned by its neighbor.
In this way, plants have developed not only individual defence systems, but also shared it with others. This makes it impossible for a single predator to destroy even a small area of forest.
66．According to the passage, which of the following statements about the Golden Wattle tree is NOT correct
A．It fights off its enemies by producing poisonous chemicals.
B．It has the ability to warn its neighboring plants of danger.
C．It is only poisonous while it is being attacked.
D．An animal that eats too many of its leaves may be poisoned to death.
67．It is impossible for a single predator to destroy even a small area of forest mainly because
.
A．plants will become poisonous if they are attacked.
B．plants have very good individual defence systems.
C．plants can protect themselves and share their defence systems.
D．plants can give out special smell to fight off their enemies.
68．What does David Cameron mean in paragraph 3
A．He means that leaves of Golden Wattle trees can speak to each other.
B．He intends to emphasize that the defence system of Golden Wattle is quick and effective.
C．He wants to indicate that the Golden Wattle leaves are very clever.
D．He is explaining how the Golden Wattle trees warn each other when they are attacked.
69．According to the writer, the unique defence system of plants is the result of .
A．millions of years of evolution.
B．their outstanding poison producing system.
C．the tough natural environment.
D．large numbers of herbivores in the wilderness.
70．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Stunts in the wilderness. B．A unique plant.
C．Poisonous plants. D．Plants fight back.

As we all know, wood has many uses. It is a kind of very important building material. Wood can be made into desks, chairs, beds and many other things. Fine paper is made of wood, too. Only trees can provide us with enough wood. Trees can also provide us with oxygen and make the air around us fresh. In hot summer trees give us shade and make our surroundings more beautiful. What’s more, trees can stop soil from being washed away by heavy rains.
Since trees are so important to us, we should plant more trees. At the same time, measures should be taken to protect forests and prevent trees from being cut down.

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题，每题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Hunting for a job is a painful experience, which nearly everyone must endure at least once in a lifetime. Books are published and magazine articles are written on the subject, all trying to tell job seekers what they should do or avoid doing in order to win the game. They can’t calm the nervous applicant but they do offer some advice.
To begin with, it is not a good idea to be late. Job interviewers don’t think very highly of the candidate (应聘者) who arrives twenty minutes after the appointed time. The wise job seeker explores the place the day before. Next day he arrives early for the appointment.
What makes a good impression Being on time does, then, appearance. It is essential for the candidate to be dressed properly and to look alive. It is also very important to look the interviewer in the eye because this “eye contact ” gives a strong impression of sincerity and openness.
Many candidates waste a good part of the interview explaining why they want the job; the man or woman on the other side of the desk is waiting to hear why the would – be employee would be good for the position and for the company.
It is very difficult task to display oneself to a possible employer: one must not be too humble since it is essential to show one’s good points and experiences. However, bragging (说大话) doesn’t make a very good impression. One thing is certain: interview time is a time for honesty. The interviewer is trying to discover not only the professional worth but also the character of the man or the woman he is meeting. Therefore, he must rely on his observation of the applicant, her manners, what she says and how she says it.
While this examination is going on the job seeker should remember that she too has a right to be curious. It is recommended that the applicant ask some serious questions about the job, the company, and its future. If the questions are intelligent, they will impress the interviewer favourably.
56．The writer’s purpose in writing the passage is to .
A．offer tips on job seeking. B．warn applicants not to be nervous.
C．analyze the thinking of interviewers D．stress the difficulty of job seeking
57．Which of the following shows whether an applicant could benefit the company
A．How early he / she is. B．What he / she is wearing.
C．His / Her explanation for the job. D．His / Her manners.
58．Which of the following statements would the writer agree with
A．Job seekers should be as early as possible.
B．Job seekers should be dressed as well as possible.
C．Interviewers pay a lot of attention to applicants’ behaviour.
D．Interviewers encourage applicants to ask questions.
B
Marriage Customs
Despite the recent growth in the number of divorces, we in the West still tend to regard courtship (求爱) and marriage as a romantic business. Boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, boy asks girl to marry him, girl accepts, wedding, flowers, big celebration.
But in other parts of the world things work differently. In India, for instance, arranged marriage is still very common. An intermediary (中间人), usually a married lady, learns that a young man wishes to get married and she begins to find him a suitable wife. The young couple meets for the first time on the day of the wedding.
In Japan, too, arranged marriages still take place. But things are organized in different way there. A girl wishes to find a husband, and the girl’s mother, or an aunt perhaps, approaches the mother of a suitable young man and the young couple are introduced. They get a chance to have a look at one another and if one of them says “Oh, no, I could never marry him or her”, they call the whole thing off. But if they like one another, then the wedding goes ahead.
In parts of Africa, a man is allowed to have several wives. Now that sounds fine from the man’s point of view, but in fact the man is taking on a great responsibility. When he takes a new wife and buys her a nice present, he has to buy all his other wives presents of equal value and, although we are obviously speaking of a male – dominated society, the wives often become very close and also, if there is disagreement in the family, the husband has three or four wives to argue with instead of just one.
It is true that American women brought up in the United States, who married Africans and went to live in Africa, have sometimes found it very difficult to take the role of the wife of an African living in African. Now most people, being used to the Western style of courtship and marriage, will think that this is the best system and the one with the greatest chance of producing a happy marriage. However, my observations have led me to believe that various forms of arranged marriages have just as much chance of bringing happiness to the husband and wife as our Western system of choosing marriage partners.
59．According to the passage, in the West, .
A．more and more people get divorced
B．fewer and fewer people get divorced
C．nobody gets divorced at all
D．50 percent of the married people get divorced
60．The word “arranged ” in Paragraph 2 probably means .
A．arranged themselves. B．arranged well
C．arranged by the intermediary D．arranged by God
61．According to Paragraph 4, the author thinks a man .
A．should not have more than one wife.
B．should have more than one wife.
C．with more than one wife will take one more responsibilities.
D．with more than one wife will be happier.

They were just an ordinary pair of jeans bought in a second – hand shop. But when four girls discover that the jeans look good on all of them, despite their different figures and heights, they realize “these are magical trousers!”
The four girls – Carmen, Tibby, Lena and Bridget – have been best friends all their lives. They live in the same small American town and usually spend every moment of their long summer holidays together.
This year they all turn 16. It is the first time they have separate plans for the summer, but the girls are determined to keep in touch. They hit upon a wonderful plan of sharing the jeans throughout the holiday by sending them on to the next friend when they feel the time is right.
When they meet up at the end of the summer, they will record their favourite adventures on the trouser legs.
Based on American writer Ann Brashares’ best – selling novel, the film “The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants ” tells the story of the girls’ summer trips. It will be released on June 1 in the United States.
Beautiful Lena is going to Greece to be with her grandparents; strong, athletic Bridget is off to a football camp in California; hot – tempered Carmen plans to have her divorced (离婚的) father all to herself in South Carolina; and Tibby, the rebel will be left at home to work hard for little money.
Over the summer the jeans come to represent friendship and growing up. Lena finds ways to communicate with her grandparents she once thought were boring; Bridget falls in love with an older camp coach; Carmen finds out her father is engaged to a woman with two children; and Tibby makes friends with a 12 – year – old who is dying of cancer.
Even though the four girls miss each other, being apart takes each of them on their own adventures of love, courage and forgiveness. They grow and begin to understand the world and themselves.
62．Why did they think “these are magical trousers”
A．Because these trousers were just an ordinary pair.
B．Because these trousers were bought in a second – hand shop.
C．Because the four girls discovered the jeans look good.
D．Because these trousers looked good when any one of the four wore them.
63．Which sentence about the four girls is NOT true

B．They have been best friends all their lives.
C．They live in the same small American town.
D．They always spend their long summer holidays together.
64．The reason why they make a plan of sharing the jeans throughout the holiday is that .
A．they want to record their favourite adventures on the trouser legs.
B．they are determined to keep in touch during their summer holidays.
C．the activity was arranged by their teachers and parents.
D．if they don’t do so they will not meet up at the end of the summer.
65．During the summer vacation what happened to the four girls
A．Strong, athletic Bridget plans to have her divorced father all to herself.
B．Tibby, the rebel, makes friends with a 12 – year – old patient.
C．Beautiful Lena falls in love with an older camp coach.
D．Hot – tempered Carmen finds ways to communicate with her grandparents she once thought were boring.
D
When you watch TV programmes about wild animals, it is amazing to see how an antelope can escape a lion’s attack. In the wilderness, everyone has a stunt (绝技). Even plants have their own ways of fighting off enemies.
Over millions of years of evolution, plants have developed a unique defence system. Chemicals are widely used for survival, By making their leaves, flowers, stems, roots and fruits distasteful or poisonous to predators (食肉动物), plants can fight back.
One such plant is the Gold Wattle tree. British botanist David Cameron has found that when an animal eats the tree’s leaves, the amount of poisonous tannin (丹宁酸) increases in the other leaves. “It’s like the damaged leaves telephoning the others telling them to fight together against the enemy,” he said.
The tree also sends defence messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle trees in the surrounding 45 meters will get the message and produce more tannin within 10 minutes. Now, if a predator eats too many of the trees’ leaves, it will die.
Every species of plant or tree specializes in the production of a particular set of chemicals. A herbivore (草食动物) that can safely eat the leaves of one tree may be poisoned by its neighbor.
In this way, plants have developed not only individual defence systems, but also shared it with others. This makes it impossible for a single predator to destroy even a small area of forest.
66．According to the passage, which of the following statements about the Golden Wattle tree is NOT correct
A．It fights off its enemies by producing poisonous chemicals.
B．It has the ability to warn its neighboring plants of danger.
C．It is only poisonous while it is being attacked.
D．An animal that eats too many of its leaves may be poisoned to death.
67．It is impossible for a single predator to destroy even a small area of forest mainly because
.
A．plants will become poisonous if they are attacked.
B．plants have very good individual defence systems.
C．plants can protect themselves and share their defence systems.
D．plants can give out special smell to fight off their enemies.
68．What does David Cameron mean in paragraph 3
A．He means that leaves of Golden Wattle trees can speak to each other.
B．He intends to emphasize that the defence system of Golden Wattle is quick and effective.
C．He wants to indicate that the Golden Wattle leaves are very clever.
D．He is explaining how the Golden Wattle trees warn each other when they are attacked.
69．According to the writer, the unique defence system of plants is the result of .
A．millions of years of evolution.
B．their outstanding poison producing system.
C．the tough natural environment.
D．large numbers of herbivores in the wilderness.
70．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Stunts in the wilderness. B．A unique plant.
C．Poisonous plants. D．Plants fight back.

As we all know, wood has many uses. It is a kind of very important building material. Wood can be made into desks, chairs, beds and many other things. Fine paper is made of wood, too. Only trees can provide us with enough wood. Trees can also provide us with oxygen and make the air around us fresh. In hot summer trees give us shade and make our surroundings more beautiful. What’s more, trees can stop soil from being washed away by heavy rains.
Since trees are so important to us, we should plant more trees. At the same time, measures should be taken to protect forests and prevent trees from being cut down.

W : And you didn’t open any of them on Friday night
M : No.
W : Well, I can’t understand it. Let’s go and look round. Perhaps I’ll notice something you missed.
