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,并把答案涂在答题卡上。
A
The newspaper seller was a clean, neat man, of about forty with a rather serious, unsmiling face. He didn’t speak much to the customers or to his helpers, but when he did he spoke slowly and quietly, as if to himself. He believed in efficiency(效率), not conversation. And this was how the office workers, rushing to catch their trains, preferred it.
It had been a good day. Lunch-time had been warm and sunny, and many people had bought magazines to read outside with their sandwiches. Now it was cold and rainy, and people wanted an evening paper for a cheerless journey ahead and a dull evening indoors.
At 6:30, with the main rush over, he started to collect the money together and count it. Then he left the stand and went home. It was the assistant’s turn this evening to look after it till eight o’clock, when it would be packed away for the night. His large white Mercedes was in the private car park of a large Government Building. He’d parked there for six months, pretending to be part of a heating firm working in the building. They would find out about him soon, and he’d have to park in a garage again, which was annoying. Their charges were far too high. A couple of junior clerks, regular customers, happened to see him getting into his car. “Must be a lot of money in papers, eh?” one of them shouted. He just smiled coldly in reply, and got into the car, placing the bags of money on the floor.
He thought about the clerks on the way home. Like the majority of his customers, despite their white shirts and dark suits, they probably made in a week as much as he could make in a good day.
56. It seems unlikely that the newspaper seller would be the sort of man who would ______.
A. be a cheerful companion(同伴) B. try to cheat a customer
C. earn a great deal of money D. trust his assistant much
57. The assistant’s job that evening was to ______.
A. sell papers until 8 o’clock B. start selling magazines at 8 o’clock
C. count the money taken that day D. lock up the car park
58. If they realized that he was not a heating engineer he would have to ______.
A. park his car in a Government car park
B. look for another free parking place
C. pay to park his car in a garage
D. pretend he was a Government employee
59. When the newspaper seller thought about the two clerks, he decided they were _______.
A. badly dressed B. very well off
C. not as rich as himself D. not as hardworking as himself
B
In Glasgow(格拉斯哥), Scotland, a young lady, like a lot of teens today, got tired of home and the restraints (限制)of her parents. The daughter rejected (反对)her family’s religious lifestyle and said, “ I don’t want your God. I give up. I am leaving!”
She left home, deciding to become a woman of the world. Before long, however, she was frustrated(挫败的) and unable to find a job, so she had to live a hard life. The years passed by, her father died, her mother grew older, and the daughter became more and more entrenched (固执的)in her way of life.
No contact was made between mother and daughter during these years. The mother, having heard of her daughter’s whereabouts, made her way to that place in search of her daughter. She stopped at each of the rescue missions (救助中心)with a simple request. “ Would you allow me to put up this picture?” It was a picture of the smiling, gray-haired mother with a handwritten message at the bottom: “ I love you still…come home!”
Some more months went by, and nothing happened. Then one day the daughter wandered into a rescue mission for a needed meal. She sat absent-mindedly, letting her eyes wander over to the bulletin board. There she saw the picture and thought, “Could that be my mother?” She couldn’t wait. She stood up and went to look. As she stood in front of the picture, she cried.
By this time it was night, but she was so touched by the message that she started walking home. By the time she arrived it was early in the morning. She was afraid, not really knowing what to do. As she knocked, the door flew open on its own. She thought someone must have broken into the house. Concerned for her mother’s safety, the young woman ran to the bedroom and found her still sleeping. She shook her mother awake and said, “ It is me! I am home!”
The mother couldn’t believe her eyes. She wiped her tears and they fell into each other’s arms. The daughter said, “ I was so worried! The door was open and I thought someone had broken in!”
The mother replied gently, “ No, dear. From the day you left, that door has never been locked.”

“ So you think I am courageous?” the girl who is in her early twenties asked.
“Yes, I do.” I said. I saw the girl save a two-year-old child just now in the river. and I thought she was really courageous.
“ Perhaps I am. But that’s because I’ve had some inspiring teachers. Now I’ll tell you about one of them. Many years ago, there was a little girl named Lisa who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion (输血)from her five-year-old brother, who had surprisingly survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies (抗体)needed to fight the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. He hesitated (迟疑) for a moment before taking a deep breath and saying that he would do it if it would save Lisa.
“ As the transfusion progressed,” the girl continued, “ he lay in a bed next to his sister and smiled, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile disappeared. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, “ Will I start to die right away?”
“ Being young, the boy misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give her all his blood and sacrifice his own life.” The girl went on ,“ Yes, I’ve learned courage,” she added, “ because I’ve had an inspiring teacher.
She smiled, with tears in her eyes.
I didn’t say anything. I was completely moved by the inspiring teacher and the courage shown during the transfusion.
“ Hi, Lisa, shall we go?” a handsome boy came up and said.
Lisa? I repeated in surprise.
“OK” the girl replied. “ This is my little brother, David”. She introduced him to me proudly. “ We have to go. Nice meeting you. Bye bye.”
They left.

This report presents details of home computer used by a sample group of young people. It is a common belief that teenagers today know about computers and are familiar with using them in all aspects of their lives. We decided to try to find out if this was true.
We questioned thirty young people between 14 and 18. All the teenagers we chose said they had computers at home. We asked them how much time they spent on their computer in an average week, but we were most interested in what they used their computers for.
The average time spent on a computer in a week was about 12 hours, with the highest user averaging 32 hours and the lowest user only 5 hours. There was no significant(重大的) difference between boys and girls.
All of the people(questioned)said they regularly used the computer to play games. Fourteen told us they did some word-processing at home, but not very much. Only 2 of the respondents(回答者) said that computers helped them with their studies, while 8 people told us they kept addresses and telephone numbers on their computers or used them as diaries. Only 3 people said they were learning to program computers, and nobody consulted (查阅) databases (other than their address lists). None of the people used their computer for any other purpose.
The results indicate that average computer use is quite high amongst 14-18-year-olds. They also show quite clearly that computers are seen by most young people as no more than game machines. The only other significant uses are for word processing and organizing address lists. It seems to us that, although computers are common in the homes of British young people, they have not yet become useful tools in the routine of everyday life.
72. Where do you think the report is from?
A. A textbook. B. A newspaper. C. An advertisement D. A poster (广告画)
73. The report shows that _________.
A. computers are helpful for teenagers to study at home
B. computers play an important role in teenagers’ daily life
C. most teenagers questioned take computers for game machines
D. girls spend less time on computers than boys do in week
74. What percentage of the teenagers questioned have learned to program computers?
A. 7%. B. 10%. C. 27%. D. 46%.
75. Which of the following ways that computers are used is not mentioned in the report?
A. Used as a word processor. B. Used as a game machine.
C. Used to keep telephone numbers. D. Used to communicate with others.

One possible version
Should students make friends on line? Some people say yes. The internet helps make many friends. Chatting on line, students can more freely express their feelings and opinions, and even get help with their foreign language studies.
Others, however, think students should not. They say making friends on line is a waste of time, which should be spent more meaningfully on study. Besides, some students get cheated on line.
It is my opinion that students should place their study, health and safety before other tings. As for friendship, we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us.

W: Very well. Now what about Dick? He thinks about nothing but space travel nowadays.
M: Oh, that makes it easy. Shall we give him one of those space travel suits the toyshop has? You know what I mean: there is a big round plastic thing that goes over the head.
W: That’s an excellent idea. He’ll be quite excited.
M: What about your father?
W: He’s fond of music. Perhaps some records.

W: Hello, Mr. Green. Come in and sit down.
M: Hello, doctor.
W: What’s the matter?
M: I’ve got a backache.
W: Do you often have backaches?
M: No, I don’t. I’ve never had one before.
W: When did it start?
M: About four days ago.
W: Well. Go home and rest in bed for two days. Then you’ll feel better.
M: Can you give me some medicine? It’s very painful.
W: No, all you need is rest. Come back in five days and remember not to take any exercise.

This is Bob Smith from Channel 13 News. I’m at the scene of a fire that occurred earlier today. Uh, the fire broke out at the three-story building behind me. Uh, unfortunately, we’re not able to get any closer because there is still danger. Mm, however, those who happened to be passing by say they noticed fire coming from the building earlier this morning.
It was believed that everyone had been taken to safety, however, one mother, Susan O’ Connor, when she returned and noticed the fire, burst into tears because she realized that her 3-month-old baby was still inside. However, some people report seeing the dog, uh, the family dog, pulling the baby to safety by, uh, the baby’s clothes.
Fortunately, everyone is reported fine. The baby was taken to the hospital, uh, as well as the dog, but we’re happy to say that at this time, it looks like everyone, uh, will be fine. This is Channel 13 News.
