第三节 阅读理解 （共25小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
A
It moved without a ripple (波纹), a moon－like circle beneath the surface, and in a few seconds it was as far away as it had been when he had first sighted it. Then it broke top of the water. Jonsai gasped (喘气).
It was a turtle.
Jonsai rubbed (揉) his eyes, thinking that the sun had weakened then. It was not unusual to find turtles feeding near the edge of the reef (暗礁).
But this was not an ordinary turtle. Nor was it a mirage (海市蜃楼). It stayed there on the surface, as white as foam or bone or sun－dried coral, and shining like an oyster (牡蛎) shell.
The creature stayed still for some time. So did the boy. Leaning forward, he stared without moving, disbelief giving way to a small fear. His heart flopped against his ribs like a dying fish.
There was no such thing as a white turtle!
His mind moved first. Tonight the men would return from the pit hunt. Samu and Aesake would be at the feast (盛筵) with the men. He, Jonsai, would have to sit with the women and children. But what would happen if, at the height of the feasting, Jonsai brought forward a gift for Chief Vueti, something he had never seen before, a present that would make him the envy of every chief on the islands?
1. Jonsai was surprised when he first saw the turtle because the turtle _______.
A. looked different from other turtles he had seen
B. moved very slowly through the water
C. was feeding too close to the reef
D. was not afraid of him
2. From the passage, the reader is able to tell that _______.
A. the turtle is angry about Jinsai’s presence
B. Jonsai does not think he will be able to catch the turtle
C. The turtle is of an unusually small size
D. Jonsai has visited the reef before
3. In the phrase, “Something he had never seen before”, the word “he” refers to _______.
A. Jonsai B. chief vueti
C. samu D. Aesake
4. Jonsai’s main reason for wanting to catch the turtle is to _______.
A. provide food for his village
B. impress his mother
C. pierce the shell for jewellery
D. impress the chief of his village
5. In the last paragraph, Jonsai feels _______.
A. determined but sad B. unsure but excited
C. jealous and unsure D. worried and upset.
B
I don’t think there is anything wrong with your blood. The key to your problem is that long nap (打盹；小睡) after dinner. If you didn’t sleep for hours during the early part of the evening, you would be more ready to sleep at bedtime. If you didn’t nap after dinner, you would not want to stay up so late, and you would not feel the need to take a sleeping pill. The pill is still working in your system when you get up in the morning. This helps account for the fact that you feel tired all day.
You should get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening. Right after your evening meal, engage in some sort of physical activity－a sport such as bowling, perhaps. Or get together with friends for an evening of cards and conversation. Then go to bed at your usual time or a little earlier, and you should be able to get a good night’s rest without taking a pill.
If you can get into the habit of spending your evenings this way, I am sure you will feel less tired during the day. At first it may be hard for you to go to sleep without taking a pill. If so, get up and watch television or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy. If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later, get up but do not take a sleeping pill. Read a while or listen to the radio, and make yourself a few hours’ sleep that night, you will feel better in the morning than you usually feel after taking a pill. The next night you will be ready to sleep at an earlier hour.
The most important thing is to avoid taking that nap right after dinner and avoid taking pills.
6. According to the writer, it is difficult for you to go to sleep because .
you get the habit of staying up late
you haven’t taken sleeping pills
you sleep for hours after dinner
you fail to do some exercises
7. Which of the following is NOT TRUE if you want to get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening?
Go to bed earlier than usual.
Talk with friends after dinner.
Stay with friends after dinner.
Do some physical labor.
8. You feel tired all day probably because .
you stay up too late
you get up too early in the morning
you take sleeping pills
you wake up too frequently at night
9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
You mustn’t take sleeping pills in order to get a good night’s sleep.
You should stay up if you want to sleep effectively.
Food is necessary at night if you fail to go to sleep.
It is very important to get out of the habit of taking a nap after dinner.
10. We may infer that the author is most probably a .
A. doctor B. reporter C. scientist D. professor

The most common form of public transportation is the buses. They provide transportation service on innumerable routes from the city center to the suburbs and even to outlying rural areas that surround the city. Also, special buses can be chartered for trips to the mountains, to lakes, and to nearby places of historical interest. In some cities, the city bus system offers free “mini-bus” service as a convenience to shoppers in the downtown business district.
Subways are mostly found in larger cities, such as New York, London, Tokyo, Paris and so on. The subway is an underground system of high-speed trains. The world’s first system was built in London, and trains have been operating there since 1890. Subway trains move more quickly and efficiently than buses. They, too, are inexpensive and help solve city traffic problems. The one drawback of subway trains is that they are often crowded and noisy.
Taxicabs are more expensive than buses or subways, but they will deliver you to the exact location you want in the shortest time possibly. Taxis are convenient if you are in a hurry or if you are taking a number of suitcases or packages.
If you ever visit a major city in another country, you will probably have no trouble getting around. You will quickly find out about city bus routes and schedules, about crowds on subway trains, and about the scarcity of taxis when you are trying to find one during rush hours. Like many people, of course, you may come to the conclusion that the most inexpensive and reliable form of transportation will be your own two legs!
11. What is the common form of public transportation?
Bicycles and horses.
Taxicabs and horses.
Subways, taxi and busses.
High-speed trains underground and suburbs.
12. Why do people like to take busses?
Because busses run faster than the others.
Because busses cost much more than the others.
Because the others are not safe.
Because busses are the cheapest of all these.
13. What does “mini-bus” mean?
It means that a kind of bus only runs in the mid-night.
It is another name of the bus.
It means that this kind of bus is very small.
It means that this is a special kind of bus for shoppers to carry goods.
14. The subway is a kind of high-speed train underground ___________
that runs only on the suburb routes.
that was first used in London, New York and Tokyo.
and is mostly being operated in some big cities.
Both A and B.
15. Which of the following is true according to the above?
The public transportation is only for the rich.
Subway was used earlier than buses.
Taxicab is free.
In the big crowded cities, you’ll find your own two legs will be the cheapest and the most reliable form of transportation.

There were two McDonalds－Mac and Dick －and they were brothers. In 1948 they owned a restaurant in California. They liked working in the restaurant, but they got tired of the customers ordering so many different things to eat.
“If we gave customers a smaller menu, we could make some of the food before they came, and they wouldn’t have to wait so long for their meals,” said one of the brothers. The other brother agreed and said, “And if we made the customers come to the counter (柜台), we wouldn’t need any waiters or waitresses. We could also use plastic plates so there wouldn’t be any washing-up.”
These were such good ideas that McDonald brothers used them, and the customers were very pleased. They got their meals very quickly – in less than a minute – and they paid only 15 cents for hamburgers and 10 cents for fries (油炸食品). The first McDonald’s restaurant had no seats for customers to sit on. This meant that people had to take their food away, and that no one had to clean up any tables after them.
Then a man called Ray Kroc came to the brothers and asked to buy their business. They agreed to sell it to him for $27 million. After that, people paid Ray Kroc to open their own restaurants using the McDonald’s name and menu. Before long, there were McDonald’s restaurants all over the United States, and nowadays, they are all over the world－even in China and Russia. The most successful McDonald’s business is in Hong Kong of China. The Hong Kong McDonald’s sells more hamburgers every day than any other McDonald’s anywhere else in the world.
McDonald’s restaurants are so successful because children love going to them. They like the food, and they like the toys and games they can get at McDonald’s.
16. The McDonald brothers offered customers fewer kinds of foods so that .
they didn’t need waiters or waitresses
they could use plastic plates
customers would get their meals quickly
customers would pay less
17. Customers “paid only 15 cents for hamburgers” means the hamburgers were .
A. expensive B. new
C. cheap D. worth a lot less
18. The first McDonald’s customers took their food away because .
they wanted to eat it quickly
they did not want a large menu
there were no seats in the restaurant
they wanted to eat at home
19. Nowadays, the owners of McDonald’s restaurants pay for .
the McDonald’s name and menu
children to play games
people to take the food away
customers to eat quickly
20. This story mainly tells us .
a restaurant in California 1948
how Ray Kroc made money for the McDonald brothers
where McDonald’s restaurants are in the world
how the McDonald’s business started and grew

There were two McDonalds－Mac and Dick －and they were brothers. In 1948 they owned a restaurant in California. They liked working in the restaurant, but they got tired of the customers ordering so many different things to eat.
“If we gave customers a smaller menu, we could make some of the food before they came, and they wouldn’t have to wait so long for their meals,” said one of the brothers. The other brother agreed and said, “And if we made the customers come to the counter (柜台), we wouldn’t need any waiters or waitresses. We could also use plastic plates so there wouldn’t be any washing-up.”
These were such good ideas that McDonald brothers used them, and the customers were very pleased. They got their meals very quickly – in less than a minute – and they paid only 15 cents for hamburgers and 10 cents for fries (油炸食品). The first McDonald’s restaurant had no seats for customers to sit on. This meant that people had to take their food away, and that no one had to clean up any tables after them.
Then a man called Ray Kroc came to the brothers and asked to buy their business. They agreed to sell it to him for $27 million. After that, people paid Ray Kroc to open their own restaurants using the McDonald’s name and menu. Before long, there were McDonald’s restaurants all over the United States, and nowadays, they are all over the world－even in China and Russia. The most successful McDonald’s business is in Hong Kong of China. The Hong Kong McDonald’s sells more hamburgers every day than any other McDonald’s anywhere else in the world.
McDonald’s restaurants are so successful because children love going to them. They like the food, and they like the toys and games they can get at McDonald’s.
