Part 3 Reading and Writing
Ⅵ. Reading comprehension
A. Choose the best answer
It’s a cold, grey Sunday afternoon in March. The light is slowly fading, but all over Britain people
are working in their gardens. They’re digging, cutting leaves and planting new weeds. By summer,
their gardens will be full of bright colors.
The British love their gardens. A British newspaper recently asked people for their opinions about
them. Seventy percent of people felt it was important to spend time in the garden, and over half of
these described gardening as the most enjoyable thing they ever did.
Only one in ten houses in Britain do not have a garden. You can, of course, just grow house plants
inside or on your balcony.
Once it was only the very wealthy who had a garden. You can still see the huge gardens that
surround historic houses such as Chatsworth House or Castle Howard. Ordinary people used their
land to produce food to eat or sell, or grew herbs to make medicine.
In the nineteenth century, however, gardening became a hobby. About the same time, better
transport meant people could buy different kinds of seeds and plants for their gardens. Although
roses, sunflowers, onions and tomatoes are often grown in British gardens, they grew wild in other
countries before.
In many villages and towns there are competitions for the best looked-after gardens. This year
the winner was a little village in Northern Ireland. It’s already won four prizes for its beauty. People
also take part in competitions to grow the largest vegetables, but don’t expect to win. Britain’s


biggest carrot is almost six meters long!
A newspaper asked people what they grew in their gardens. Look at the diagram which shows
their answers.

69. Most of the British love to spend time in _____.
A. fishing B. hunting C. gardening D. farming
70. Only ____ houses in Britain don’t have a garden.
A. 10% B. 20% C. 50% D. 70%
71. Chatsworth House and Castle Howard are examples to show that ______.
A. people feel it important to spend time in the garden
B. only rich people had a garden in old days
C. the big gardens have lasted for a long time
D. there are vegetables and plants in the gardens
72. The winner of the competitions for best gardens this year was from _____.
A. England B. Wales C. Northern Ireland D. India
73. According to the diagram, more people prefer to grow _____ than potatoes.
A. roses B. tomatoes C. herbs D. strawberries
74. The underlined words “better transport” refers to the following except ______.
A. by train B. by sea C. by car D. by bike

B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage
Do you have any effective ways of learning to share? Here are some tips on how to ___75___ the
Exam Season.
? Prepare yourself
My first tip is to prepare yourself for reviewing. Let me explain what I mean by this.


During the term, you’re going to take a lot of notes and go to all the lectures, and these are the
first steps in the learning ___76___. Now, at the end of the week, gather all the notes you took
and run through them quickly. While doing this, constantly(不断地) ask yourself, “Do I
understand what I am reading?” If yes, great. If not, ask a friend or a teacher; you can also
_____77____ on the internet or go to a library. This take a little effort, but the results will be
worth it.
There are two big advantages. You understand ____78_____ before the exam period starts, so
you don’t have to bother other people with your questions during this stressful time, and the second
benefit is that you have seen the material before you start reviewing, so you’ll probably remember
some things, and it makes reviewing ____79_____.
Switch between different types of revision
My second trip is to plan between different types of revision in order to study more efficiently.
____80_____you are motivated(主动积极的) to study, everyone gets bored after a couple of hours
of studying. We get distracted or tired from time to time. Planning different types of active revision
helps. You can , for example, study using flashcards for an hour, then work on a summary for an
hour, then have lunch, etc.

75. A. escape B. beat C. survive D. change
76. A. process B. example C. relationship D. generation
77. A. took it up B. look it up C. make it up D. pick it up
78. A. everything B. anything C. nothing
D. something
79. A. longer B. stricter C. lighter
D. easier
80. A. If B. Even if C. Now that
D. As long as

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words ( 在短文的空格内填入适当的

It was early one hot morning in 2015 when I was gently wheeled across our quiet street in my
wheelchair to the taxi stand with my mother. Three weeks earlier, I had hurt my left leg at home.
Now I f____81_____ had an appointment(预约) for an operation to repair the bad break in hospital.
I was feeling n_____82____ as I’d never had surgery(外科手术) before and the thought of it
worried me. After waiting for a taxi for more than 90 minutes, we were still standing across the
street from our house, trying to ask for a ride. It usually only takes a few minutes, but on this Sunday
taxis would pass by us either already filled with p____83_____ or unwilling to take us. Perhaps it
was because of my wheelchair. My mother was starting to get upset as we were fast running out of
t_____84____. Our appointment was 10:45 am and it would take up to 40 minutes to get to the
hospital. Then a black SUV pulled over and stopped in front of us. The driver, taking a look at us,
said, “You two look like you could use a lift!” He told us he’d seen us e_____85____ as he was
taking his son to a weekend school activity. He was now r_____86____ home and saw that we were
still there.
With no questions asked this good man welcome us aboard. We arrived at 10:30 ---just in time
for my appointment. He r_____87____ my money, saying people should help one another. He left


with a smile.
To this day we have not crossed paths again with this friendly driver who went out of his way,
but his help is kept in our minds. I am very grateful to this kind stranger who has taught me to keep
watch for and help others in need.
D. Answer the questions
My _______
“The atlas（地图册）I grew up with was a hand-me-down from my brother, dog-eared Collins
World Atlas. This became my favourite book, and I was touched that he thought I was grown-up
enough to appreciate it. After wars, my atlas was considered incorrect and out of date and I had to
buy a new one for school. But I still missed the well-used pages and old-book smell. I carefully tore
（撕）pages out of my old atlas, and glued them on cardboard. My father helped me to cut them
into jigsaw puzzles as gifts for my friends. Google search is an easy way to find various places, but
I still prefer to search for exotic places in a real-turning atlas. One day it may be priceless!”

Rosemary Francis
“When I was 13, I wanted a horse of my own. Finally my parents softened to the idea and bought
me a beautiful part-Arabian horse. To settle on a name, my father suggested I open our atlas to the
page on Saudi Arabia, close my eyes and place my finger randomly（随机地）on the page. Bandar
Shah（Royal Port）was a wonderful horse.”

Melanie Egan
“When I retired after 20 years with the same boss Reader’s Digest, I did not expect to be given a
gold watch. I certainly did not expect to be given a Reader’s Digest Atlas of the World. But that is
exactly what my co-workers decided I needed. For the next 15 years that atlas was used by my
family to settle geographic arguments and plan trips abroad. Sadly, wear and tear forced its
retirement, too.”
