第二部分 閱讀理解(共兩節(jié),滿分30分)
第一節(jié)(共10小題;每小題2分,滿分20分)
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
If you travel around the world, you will be surprised to find just how different the foreign customs can be from your own.
A visitor in India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man clearly shaking his head at another and assume that he doesnt agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head is a gesture that shows agreement of acceptance. Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to indicate “yes”—a nod indicates “no.” The Arabs are known for their hospitality (好客). At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that any drinking cup is repeatedly refilled as soon as you drink it up.
In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could cause trouble. It is too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand you are not supposed to touch the head of an adult. In Japan, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home. In Europe such attitude is disappearing.
Customs vary from country to country. Visitors may be at a loss as to what to do in a foreign environment. In such circumstances, the golden rule to follow is: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
21. In which country shouldnt you pass food with your left hand?
A. Thailand. B. India. C. Arabic peninsula. D. Bulgaria.
22. In which country does a person shake his head to say yes?
A. Bulgaria. B. Thailand. C. Japan. D. Arabic Peninsula.
23. Which of the following is impolite in Europe according to the passage?
A. To cross legs.
B. To touch the head of an adult.
C. To drink up the glass in your hand.
D. To plan evening entertainment with the wife at home.
24. If you dont know the customs in the country where you visit, the rule to follow is ____ .
A. to do nothing B. to ask about the customs C. to do as the Romans do D. to do as the natives do
25. The underlined phrase “at a loss” means “____.”
A. surprised B. worried C. excited D. puzzled
B
President Lincoln made a speech in Gettysburg.
The speech ended. Lincoln spoke for less than three minutes, and the photographer, who was standing in front of him, didnt even have time to take a picture. The speech was over almost before it began.
On the platform (講臺(tái)) Edward Everett, the great speech maker, whispered to Seward, the Secretary of State, “It is not what I expected from him. Im disappointed.” Seward, feeling the same, thought that the President had given a poor speech. Lincoln himself felt bad about his speech. He thought that it didnt have the effect that he hoped it would have, and that in fact it made the listeners disappointed. Later he said, “I ought to have prepared it with more care.”
The newspapers too were not impressed by the Presidents Gettysburg speech. The nearby Harrisburg paper considered it “silly”, while the reporter of the London Times thought the speech uninteresting. The first favorable comment came from the Chicago Tribune (論壇報(bào)), and was followed by the Springfield Republican, a Massachusetts newspaper. “It will be studied as a model speech...”
Now it has been considered one of the greatest speeches in the history.
26. Why did Lincoln speak for a short time?
A. He didnt want to speak too much.
B. He was given less than three minutes.
C. He had really prepared a very short speech.
D. He didnt think it good to speak in public for a long time.
27. Why do Everett and Seward consider Lincolns speech poor?
A. It was quite simple. B. It hadnt any good effect.
C. It made them both disappointed. D. It wasnt interesting and exciting.
28. Which of the following is true?
A. Newspapers ignored Lincolns speech.
B. Lincoln was quite pleased with his own speech.
C. Some people still considered Lincolns speech a good one.
D. A photographer took a picture of Lincoln making a speech in Gettysburg.
29. From the news we can see that at first ____.
A. only two famous men didnt praise the speech
B. few people made a careful study of the speech
C. many people were against Lincoln as president
D. most people studied Lincolns speech very carefully
30. The main idea of the passage is that ____ .
A. Lincoln wasnt a good speaker
B. Lincoln was good at making short speeches
C. sometimes an important speech is very short
D. Lincolns Gettysburg speech was criticized by most people

There is an English saying: 31 Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. 32
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing, and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. 33 If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
34 In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated (忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 35
Doctors tried to improve their patients condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
A. Laughter is the best medicine.
B. Laughter can make you live longer.
C. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating, and breathing.

What a long winter vacation! I stay at home doing nothing except homework every day as a robot. One day, an idea occurred to me: “Why not to find a part-time job to learn something newly?” The next morning, before visiting many shops, I was lucky enough to find it in a small but pretty cake shop. When the tired-looking old man came in to buy some cakes, I immediately helped him sit down in a chair and brought him the cakes. After he paid them, I said thanks to him. He looked very happy but praised me with a satisfying smile.
