第三部分:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的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
You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight.They hit one another hard.At the start they only fight with their fists.But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs.And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below.He is dead! Of course he isn't really dead.With any luck he isn't even hurt.Why Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catching fire, are professionals.They do this for a living.These men are called stuntmen.That is to say, they perform tricks.There are two sides to their work.They actually do most of the things you see on the screen.For example, they fall from a high building.However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress.Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training.Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing.For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives.They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed.A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high.His parachute failed to open, and he was killed.In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only.Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action.For nowadays there are stuntwomen too.
56.Stuntmen are those who ________.
A.often dress up as actors
B.prefer to lead dangerous lives
C.often perform seemingly dangerous actions
D.often fight each other for their lives
57.Stuntmen earn their living by ________.
A.playing their dirty tricks B.selling their special skills
C.jumping out of high windows D.jumping from fast moving trains
58.When a stuntman falls from a high building, ________.
A.he needs little protection B.he will be covered with a mattress
C.his life is endangered D.his safety is generally all right
59.Which of the following is the main factor(因素)of a successful performance
A.Strength B.Exactness C.Speed D.Carefulness
B
Many people take it for granted that black is a color of bad things while white should always mean something good.This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity.However, that is not always the case.Did you know that the same one colour may mean differently in different places of the world
In the English-speaking world, black is the colour of mourning.People wear black clothes at the funeral.Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed (流血).Yellow is the word for fear.If you are afraid, you are yellow.Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world.In China and Korea white is the colour of mourning.In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence.In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.
Even within the English-speaking area it is not difficult to find colour contradictions (矛盾).A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station.In Britain, however, a redcap is a military policeman.Both names are logical because both men wear red caps.Similarly, the British term for an American white collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker.
One does not have to cross an area to find color differences.Would you rather be red-blooded If we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest.The expression "blueblood" comes from Spain, where some noble families proudly said that they had "blue blood".But then why "blue" blood Because they were fairskinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels (血管) stood out appearing blue.
60.Yellow is concerned with anger in _______.
A.Russia B.Britain C.Germany D.China
61.The two meanings of the term "redcap" form a difference in _______.
A.pronunciation B.climate
C.logical relationship D.custom
62.Both Britain and America would probably agree that _______.
A.black is the color of mourning
B.a black-coated worker is employed in an office
C.red stands for beauty and excellence
D.a redcap is a porter in a station
63.The best title for this passage is _______.
A.The Origin of Blue Blood
B.The Development of the Symbolic Use of Colors
C.Colors that Carry Bad Meanings
D.The Meaning Concerned With Certain Colors
C
Statistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel, and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules.As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil (零), many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are airborne (升空的).
Fly on non-stop routes
Most accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complex procedures.
Choose larger aircraft.21世纪教育网
Although small aircraft have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply (遵守 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / )) with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply.Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.
Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing
The information may seem repetitious (重复的), but it's worth listening to the flight attendants.And even if you've flown before, it doesn't mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.
Store things safely
Never put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins.They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury.Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence (气流).
Keep our seat belt fastened while you are seated
Cabin crew always tell you this, but it's important.You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence.Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to.The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.
Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks
Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you.Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.
64.What is the overall reason for these air safety tips
A.What to do in the event of a crash.
B.How to avoid turbulence.
C.How to improve safety while you are flying.
D.How to avoid injury.
65.The underlined word "those" in the second tip refers to _______.
A.smaller planes
B.passengers
C.larger aircraft
D.safety records
66.The underlined phrase "The general rule" in the fifth tip refers to _______.
A.anything the flight staff tell you to do
B.general safety advice
C.walking around the plane
D.pouring hot drinks
67.Which of the following is NOT true
A.Larger planes have more safety checks and are safe in an accident.
B.Take-offs are safer on non-stop flights than landings.
C.Every aircraft is different, so the safety procedures may be different.
D.Seat belts should be worn to protect against turbulence.
D

Nutrition(营养)experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract(消化系统).They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.

A.When you are in a state of subhealth, you should stay home and keep silent.

第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。
Manners nowadays in metropolitan cities like London are practically non-existent.It is nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman aside to take the last remaining seat on the underway or bus.
This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men, who say that since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with politeness and that those who go out to work should take their turns in the rat race like anyone else.But women have never claimed to be physically strong as men.Even if it is not agreed, however, the fact remains that courtesy(礼节) should be shown to the old and the sick.Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently(冷漠地) reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves, “First come, first served” while a grey-haired woman, a mother with a young child or a cripple(残障者) stands Yet this is all too often seen.
Older people, tired and impatient from a day’s work, are not always considerate either — far from it.Many arguments break out as the older people push and squeeze(挤)each other to get on buses.One cannot approve this, of course, but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.
It seems urgent, not only that communications in transport should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite.All over cities, it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to be polite.Shop assistants won’t bother to assist; taxi drivers shout at each other as they dash dangerously around corners; bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have time to get on or off the bus, and so on.It seems to us that it is up to the young to do their small part to stop such lowering of moral standards.
Title:Manners in Metropolitan Cities
Theme Politeness is (71) ▲ , especially in large cities.

It was a bit of bad luck when the man’ s car broke down—he was stuck in a no-parking area.So he went to a store to borrow a pen and paper to leave a note for the traffic police.The pen, however, was just like his car.It didn’t work.When he decided to go back to the store to buy a pen, he found another little problem.He only has a $ 50 bill and the salesman couldn’t change it.So he went off to find a bank to change the bill to buy the pen to write on the paper to put on his car to tell the traffic police that his car had broken down.As he left the bank he saw a phone box.He decided to call a garage to send a truck to pull the car away, but the number was busy.When he got back to the car he found a parking ticket on the car.The story has, however, a happy ending.The driver wrote to the police station to explain what had happened.The police officer who read the letter decided not to punish him with the $ 20 parking fine.She said that even if the man’s story was not true, it was so clever he could be excused from being fined.
