第二部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
第一节：阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各小题所给的A, B, C, D四个选项中，选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Have you ever felt your mind falling into disorder after a sleepless night? You couldn’t come up with an original thought no matter how hard you tried.
You were properly right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep. Dr. Home, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students. One group got their normal eight hours of sleep. The other group didn’t get the smallest amount of sleep—they stayed awake all night. The next day, Dr. Home tested the students. He asked them questions that required creative and original thinking. One of the questions was “How many uses can a cardboard box be put to?”
The result? The wide-awake students did well on the test. The tired students did poorly.
Research has already shown that tired people can do OK on tests of habitual thinking, like simple addition. But Dr. Home tested creative thinking only.
As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to the sleepy students if they did well. But even this encouragement was not enough to help the students conquer their tiredness. They did poorly. Dr. Home believes that the part of the brain where thinking takes place may become very tired during waking hours. Sleep may help to repair the brain. “Without any sleep,” he emphasizes, “even if you pay closer attention, you can’t do better.” This study gives people something to think about, especially like doctors who must stay awake all night and then make quick decisions.
41. It can be known from the text that lack of sleep may ________________.
A. be a cause of some serious diseases B. cause one to lose his ability to calculate
C. do harm to one’s power of usual thinking D. weaken one’s power of creative thinking
42. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A. Doctors can think well although they often stay awake all night.
B. People can not work well without good sleep.
C. Dr. Home’s tests are on habitual thinking.
D. Sleep has nothing to do with creativity.
43. The underlined word “conquer” can be replaced by ______________.
A. take off B. break out C. give off D. get over
44. Why couldn’t the reward offered in the study attract the sleepy students?
A. Because they were too tired and too sleepy.
B. Because they did not care for money at all.
C. Because they thought sleep might help to repair the brain.
D. Because they waited for bigger rewards.
B
If you ask people today why they use mobile phones to communicate with their friends or why they turn to TV for entertainment, they will look at you as if you are crazy. These things have become such an important part of life that they are no longer noticed, let alone remarked on.
In the same way, within a decade（十年）no one will notice the web. It will be just there. It will be a way of life. People will use it for shopping, education, entertainment and communication. They will invent new uses for it.
A change like this is generational. Old people have to learn something about new things outside their everyday life, which kids who grow up with a new technology simply treat it as given.
In the future, everyone’s business card will have an email address. Every lawyer, every doctor and every business from large to small will be connected. On the other hand, the variety of activities on the web will be broadening at an amazing rate. You can find all kinds of interesting materials on the web. Many sites will have a huge traffic flow. People will trade the time they now spend reading the paper or watching TV for time spent surfing the web. Americans, particularly young Americans, will spend less time in front of the TV, and more on the web.
We usually overestimate what we can do in two years and underestimate what we can do in ten. The web will be as much a way of life as the car by 2008. Probably before.
45. The web will be an important part of life because ___________________.
A. we will use it to do lots of things B. it will replace the TV
C. we won’t notice it is there D. it will help us to lead a better life
46. The underlined sentence in the 3rd paragraph refers to the fact that _____________.
A. the web can change only a generation
B. the web won’t change the older generation
C. the younger generation accepts new technology more easily
D. children will grow up faster with the web
47. In the future ________________.
A. traffic will be controlled on the web B. all business will be done on the web
C. doctors and lawyers will not use the web D. all business cards will have email addresses
48. The writer is __________ about the development of web.
A. confident B. crazy C. fearful D. unsure
C
Cultural differences in business entertaining include problems such as whom one entertains and where, and how one entertains. In countries where status is important, it is not advisable to invite people of different statuses to the same dinner party. Americans will often invite people to their homes. However, in some societies the home is considered too personal, unworthy, or too small to serve as a proper place for business entertaining. In some countries there is a “help yourself” method of entertaining done in the home. This method does not work well when entertaining people whose culture teaches them to wait to be asked three times before accepting an offer of food. For example, a Chinese guest went hungry all the evening without eating though he was quite hungry because he was too shy to take food after only being asked to do so once. In another case, an American woman executive(负责人) was being entertained in London. After having the tea served, the American woman helped herself to cream and sugar rather than waiting to be served. The English hostess was upset by the thought that she was not serving quickly enough.
As a general rule, a small gift from your home country is OK. A gift that is tied to the particular interest of the person is especially good. Gifts for children are also well received. Be careful that the “hometown” gift you are bringing to Singapore was not made in Hong Kong. Because many gifts carry symbolic meanings, it is always best to seek the advice of a cultural information before selecting gifts. The giving of large gifts, or payments for special service, should only be carried out after talking with legal department in the home and host culture.
49. It is no good inviting people of different social positions to the same party in the country where _________________________.
A. people don’t pay any attention to your positions B. people care much about their statuses
C. entertainment is important D. entertainment is not advisable
50. The Chinese guest is taken for an example to show __________________.
A. that offering food should not be made too early
B. a “help yourself” method does work well in this case
C. that accepting an offer of food should be made later
D. a “help yourself” method does not work well in some cases
51. The passage infers that American women like _______________.
A. a “help yourself” method B. waiting to be served
C. a slow service D. cream and sugar
52. _______________ is especially proper.
A. A big gift B. Large payment as a gift
C. A small gift from one’s home D. A gift from Singapore

Most of us trade money for entertainment. Movies, concerts and show are enjoyable but expensive. If you think that you can’t have a good time without spending a lot of money, read on. A little resourcefulness(足智多谋) and a few minutes of newspaper—scanning should give you some pleasant surprises. People may be the most interesting show in a large city. Walk through busy streets and see what everyone else is doing. You will probably see people from all over the world. You will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape, and you will get a free fashion show too. Window-shopping is also a safe sport—if the stores are closed.
Check the listings in your neighborhood paper. Local college or school often invite the public to hear an interesting speaker or a good debate. The film or concert series at the local public library probably won’t cost you a penny. Be sure to check commercial advertisements, too. A flea market(跳蚤市场) can provide hours of pleasant browsing, or perhaps you can find a free cooking or craft demonstration in a department store.
Plan ahead for some activities. It is always more pleasant not to have people in front of you in a museum or at a zoo. You may save some money too, since these places often set aside one or two free admission days at slow times during the week. Pretend that you are a tourist from time to time, and get to know your city all over again, including the necessary sights that people travel miles to see. If you feel like taking an interesting walk, find a free walking tour, or plan one yourself. You will see your city with your new eyes once you know about its history or its architectural treasures. With imagination and a spirit of adventure you can quite easily find good entertainment at no cost at all.
57. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Local colleges often hold meetings to discuss the problem people are interested in.
B. There are many kinds of amusements you can enjoy without spending much money.
C. You must be a tourist if you want to know more about the city you live in.
D. The film shown at the local public library is often free of charge.
58. In the sentence “You will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape…”, “shape” refers to people being _____________.
A. old and young B. fat and thin C. tall and short D. beautiful and ugly
59. The underlined part in paragraph 3 means a time when _______________.
A. business is good B. time flies slowly
C. people are slow in learning D. business is bad
60. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Amusement at No Cost B. The Most Enjoyable Street Musician
C. Movies, Concerts and Shows D. The Cheapest Window-shopping

One possible version
With the development of mobile phones, the short message service is becoming more and more popular with us.
On one hand, SMS brings a lot of benefits to people. First, we will find it easy to connect with friends or relatives conveniently. Besides, it is much cheaper than to make a telephone call. More importantly, we can have a great deal of information, such as the information about weather and traveling.
On the other hand, the SMS has some disadvantages. It affects us a lot when we are studying or working. What’s worse, it is annoying to receive too many advertisements.
Each coin has two sides. In my opinion, something must be done to improve the SMS to offer us better service.

A
Have you ever felt your mind falling into disorder after a sleepless night? You couldn’t come up with an original thought no matter how hard you tried.
You were properly right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep. Dr. Home, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students. One group got their normal eight hours of sleep. The other group didn’t get the smallest amount of sleep—they stayed awake all night. The next day, Dr. Home tested the students. He asked them questions that required creative and original thinking. One of the questions was “How many uses can a cardboard box be put to?”
The result? The wide-awake students did well on the test. The tired students did poorly.
Research has already shown that tired people can do OK on tests of habitual thinking, like simple addition. But Dr. Home tested creative thinking only.
As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to the sleepy students if they did well. But even this encouragement was not enough to help the students conquer their tiredness. They did poorly. Dr. Home believes that the part of the brain where thinking takes place may become very tired during waking hours. Sleep may help to repair the brain. “Without any sleep,” he emphasizes, “even if you pay closer attention, you can’t do better.” This study gives people something to think about, especially like doctors who must stay awake all night and then make quick decisions.
41. It can be known from the text that lack of sleep may ________________.
A. be a cause of some serious diseases B. cause one to lose his ability to calculate
C. do harm to one’s power of usual thinking D. weaken one’s power of creative thinking
42. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A. Doctors can think well although they often stay awake all night.
B. People can not work well without good sleep.
C. Dr. Home’s tests are on habitual thinking.
D. Sleep has nothing to do with creativity.
43. The underlined word “conquer” can be replaced by ______________.
A. take off B. break out C. give off D. get over
44. Why couldn’t the reward offered in the study attract the sleepy students?
A. Because they were too tired and too sleepy.
B. Because they did not care for money at all.
C. Because they thought sleep might help to repair the brain.
D. Because they waited for bigger rewards.
B
If you ask people today why they use mobile phones to communicate with their friends or why they turn to TV for entertainment, they will look at you as if you are crazy. These things have become such an important part of life that they are no longer noticed, let alone remarked on.
In the same way, within a decade（十年）no one will notice the web. It will be just there. It will be a way of life. People will use it for shopping, education, entertainment and communication. They will invent new uses for it.
A change like this is generational. Old people have to learn something about new things outside their everyday life, which kids who grow up with a new technology simply treat it as given.
In the future, everyone’s business card will have an email address. Every lawyer, every doctor and every business from large to small will be connected. On the other hand, the variety of activities on the web will be broadening at an amazing rate. You can find all kinds of interesting materials on the web. Many sites will have a huge traffic flow. People will trade the time they now spend reading the paper or watching TV for time spent surfing the web. Americans, particularly young Americans, will spend less time in front of the TV, and more on the web.
We usually overestimate what we can do in two years and underestimate what we can do in ten. The web will be as much a way of life as the car by 2008. Probably before.
45. The web will be an important part of life because ___________________.
A. we will use it to do lots of things B. it will replace the TV
C. we won’t notice it is there D. it will help us to lead a better life
46. The underlined sentence in the 3rd paragraph refers to the fact that _____________.
A. the web can change only a generation
B. the web won’t change the older generation
C. the younger generation accepts new technology more easily
D. children will grow up faster with the web
47. In the future ________________.
A. traffic will be controlled on the web B. all business will be done on the web
C. doctors and lawyers will not use the web D. all business cards will have email addresses
48. The writer is __________ about the development of web.
A. confident B. crazy C. fearful D. unsure
C
Cultural differences in business entertaining include problems such as whom one entertains and where, and how one entertains. In countries where status is important, it is not advisable to invite people of different statuses to the same dinner party. Americans will often invite people to their homes. However, in some societies the home is considered too personal, unworthy, or too small to serve as a proper place for business entertaining. In some countries there is a “help yourself” method of entertaining done in the home. This method does not work well when entertaining people whose culture teaches them to wait to be asked three times before accepting an offer of food. For example, a Chinese guest went hungry all the evening without eating though he was quite hungry because he was too shy to take food after only being asked to do so once. In another case, an American woman executive(负责人) was being entertained in London. After having the tea served, the American woman helped herself to cream and sugar rather than waiting to be served. The English hostess was upset by the thought that she was not serving quickly enough.
As a general rule, a small gift from your home country is OK. A gift that is tied to the particular interest of the person is especially good. Gifts for children are also well received. Be careful that the “hometown” gift you are bringing to Singapore was not made in Hong Kong. Because many gifts carry symbolic meanings, it is always best to seek the advice of a cultural information before selecting gifts. The giving of large gifts, or payments for special service, should only be carried out after talking with legal department in the home and host culture.
49. It is no good inviting people of different social positions to the same party in the country where _________________________.
A. people don’t pay any attention to your positions B. people care much about their statuses
C. entertainment is important D. entertainment is not advisable
50. The Chinese guest is taken for an example to show __________________.
A. that offering food should not be made too early
B. a “help yourself” method does work well in this case
C. that accepting an offer of food should be made later
D. a “help yourself” method does not work well in some cases
51. The passage infers that American women like _______________.
A. a “help yourself” method B. waiting to be served
C. a slow service D. cream and sugar
52. _______________ is especially proper.
A. A big gift B. Large payment as a gift
C. A small gift from one’s home D. A gift from Singapore

Most of us trade money for entertainment. Movies, concerts and show are enjoyable but expensive. If you think that you can’t have a good time without spending a lot of money, read on. A little resourcefulness(足智多谋) and a few minutes of newspaper—scanning should give you some pleasant surprises. People may be the most interesting show in a large city. Walk through busy streets and see what everyone else is doing. You will probably see people from all over the world. You will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape, and you will get a free fashion show too. Window-shopping is also a safe sport—if the stores are closed.
Check the listings in your neighborhood paper. Local college or school often invite the public to hear an interesting speaker or a good debate. The film or concert series at the local public library probably won’t cost you a penny. Be sure to check commercial advertisements, too. A flea market(跳蚤市场) can provide hours of pleasant browsing, or perhaps you can find a free cooking or craft demonstration in a department store.
Plan ahead for some activities. It is always more pleasant not to have people in front of you in a museum or at a zoo. You may save some money too, since these places often set aside one or two free admission days at slow times during the week. Pretend that you are a tourist from time to time, and get to know your city all over again, including the necessary sights that people travel miles to see. If you feel like taking an interesting walk, find a free walking tour, or plan one yourself. You will see your city with your new eyes once you know about its history or its architectural treasures. With imagination and a spirit of adventure you can quite easily find good entertainment at no cost at all.
57. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Local colleges often hold meetings to discuss the problem people are interested in.
B. There are many kinds of amusements you can enjoy without spending much money.
C. You must be a tourist if you want to know more about the city you live in.
D. The film shown at the local public library is often free of charge.
58. In the sentence “You will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape…”, “shape” refers to people being _____________.
A. old and young B. fat and thin C. tall and short D. beautiful and ugly
59. The underlined part in paragraph 3 means a time when _______________.
A. business is good B. time flies slowly
C. people are slow in learning D. business is bad
60. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Amusement at No Cost B. The Most Enjoyable Street Musician
C. Movies, Concerts and Shows D. The Cheapest Window-shopping

With the development of mobile phones, the short message service is becoming more and more popular with us.
On one hand, SMS brings a lot of benefits to people. First, we will find it easy to connect with friends or relatives conveniently. Besides, it is much cheaper than to make a telephone call. More importantly, we can have a great deal of information, such as the information about weather and traveling.
On the other hand, the SMS has some disadvantages. It affects us a lot when we are studying or working. What’s worse, it is annoying to receive too many advertisements.
Each coin has two sides. In my opinion, something must be done to improve the SMS to offer us better service.
