第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C,D)中,选出最佳答案,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
At no time in history has there been such a mass movement of people from the countryside to the city as is happening now.By the year 2030,it’s imated that more than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities,twice as many as today.This means that the problems faced by cities today——overcrowding,poor housing,unemployment,poverty and lack of food and water——will be twice as bad, unless we find sol-utions soon.
Another serious issue is how to provide good tran-sportation for their citizens.Many of the world’s major cities are already struggling with out-of-date transp-ortation structures.How can they deal with the addi-tional demands?
London is a good example.Its enlargement was made possible by the invention ofthe steam engine,which powered the world’s first undergroundrailway.But its transport systems are now hopelessly out—of-date and need urgent modernization.London’sfuture success depends very much on developing better public transport.
Over a million people travel into central London every day from outside the city.They,and the people who live in London,want a public transport system that is efficient,safe and environmentally friendly.What they often get,however,falls far short of that ideal.Commut-ers complain about cost and pollution,while businesses worry,about the problems their staff have in getting to work on time.Yet,the proportion of London households that own a car grew from just over 10 percent in the early 1950s to over 60 percent today.
As the city has become increasingly crowded and polluted,there has been a growing realization that ac-tion must be taken soon.
56. It is believed that.
A. overpopulation causes the problems in cities
B. two thirds of the world’s population are living in cities today
C. it isn’t difficult to solve the problems faced by cities today
D. with fewer people,we would be free from pro-blems
57.“Environmentally friendly” is closest in mea-ning to_____.
A. cheap and convenient
B. fair to all passengers
C. 1ike a friendly neighbor
D. pleasant and nonpolluting
58. The following paragraph would most probably deal with _____.
A. train and air travel
B. traffic jars in London
C. possible solutions to London’s transportation problems
D. car ownership that continues to grow
B
Are you forty years old and fat? Do you wear fine clothes? Do you look rich if so, be careful? There is a pickpocket looking for you .World travelers,away from home and usually carrying much money,are often trou-bled by pickpockets in foreign countries,but they should remember that there are pickpockets in their own country,too.
A typical pickpocket is under forty years of age,usually a male.He has nimble fingers and has trained himself in running.Generally,he carries a newspaper or magazine in his hand.He may appear fairly clever and pretend to be calm.He has learned his job from another pickpocket,and he repays his“teacher”by giving him a percentage of the money or things which he steals.The skilled pickpocket always operates in crowded places.Very well dressed men and slightly drunken men are the favorite objects of the pickpocket.
An average-sized department store hires about six or seven full-timedetectives. These men and women are constantly looking for pickpockets quickly.But a g-ood pickpocket knows these things and is very careful.He is especiallybusy on buses,trains and subways b-etween 11:00 am and 3:00 pm when there are many shoppers with much money to spend.He carefully re-members the payday and bonus times of companies.
Pickpocketing and stealing from a shop together re-present about 75% of daytime petty crimes in America.The sentence for these crimes is usually from three to five years in prison.After finishing their sentence,pick-pockets and thieves seldom reform; they usually adva-nce to more serious crimes.
59. From the first paragraph we know that_____.
A. only those persons who are forty years old and fat are the aims of the pickpocket
B. only those persons who wear fine clothes look rich
C. world travelers are only troubled in foreign countries
D. those who look rich and those who travel abroad should pay more attention to pickpockets
60. According to this passage,what does a typical pickpocket look like?
A. An old gentleman.
B. A fat rich man.
C. A clever calm man.
D. A middle-aged traveler.
61. What is the job of a detective in a department store?
A. To look for the pickpockets' around.
B. To punish the pickpockets in no time.
C. To sentence the pickpockets they find.
D. To keep the whole store in good order.
62. Why is a pickpocket especially busy on buses between 1 1:00 am and 3:00pm?
A. Because this is the time when detectives have a rest.
B. Because this is the time when many shoppers carry much money to spend.
C. Because this is the time when companies pay bonus to their employees.
D. Because this is the time when their hands are nimblest.
C
There is probably no field of human activity in which our values and lifestyles are shown more clearly and strongly than they are in the clothes that we choose to wear.The dress of an individual is a kind of “sign language” that communicates a set of information and is usually the basis on which immediate impressions are formed.Traditionally,a concern for clothes was considered to be an affair of females,while men took pride in the fact that they were completely lacking clothes consciousness.
This type of American culture is gradually changing as man dress takes on greater variety and color.Even as early as 1955,a researcher in Michigan said that men considered that the value of clothing in daily life was very important.The white- collar workers in particular viewed dress as a symbol of ability,which could be used to impress or influence others,especially in the work situation.The white-collar worker was described as extremely concerned about the impression his clothing made on his boss.Although blue-collar workers were 1ess aware that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing,they recognized that any difference from the accepted pattern of dress would be made fun of by fellow workers.
Since that time,of course,the patterns have changed:the typical white-collar worker may now be wearing the blue shirt,while the blue-collar worker may be wearing a white shirt:but the importance of dress has not become less.Other researchers in recent years have helped to prove its importance in the lives of individuals at various age levels and in different social and economic status groups.
63. The passage tells us that_____.
A. our values and lifestyles are in no field of human activity
B. the clothes that we choose to wear have some-thing to do with our values and lifestyles
C. our values and lifestyles are from the sign lan-guage
D. the clothes we choose to wear depend on a set of information and immediate impression
64. Traditionally,people usually thought that ___.
A. men cared very much for clothes
B. women concerned greatly about what they wore while men didn’t
C. both men and women paid great attention to their clothes
D. neither men nor women showed interest in clothes
65. White-collar workers pay great attention to their clothes because_____.
A. they extremely concern about the impression their clothes make on their bosses
B. they know that people might judge them on the basis of their clothing
C. they want to impress and influence others
D. they don’t want to be laughed at
66. The passage mainly suggests that_____.
A. now men pay more attention to their clothes
B. women always like beautiful dresses
C. people have paid more and more attention to the importance of dress
D. American culture is changing greatly

The level is likely to rise again as heavy rain may fall on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and Hunan by tomorrow, according to sources from the provincial meteorological observatory.
Hunan’s flood control headquarters issued all emergency notice yesterday, requiring more detailed inspections of dykes endangered by continuous high water level.

Three people were arrested for violating the law on flood controls,according to an official with the Changde flood control headquarters.
Central China’s Hubei Province was also endangered by the high water level of the Yangtze River.The biggest flood peak since the Yangtze River began its autumn flooding passed Jianli yesterday morning without causing any problems.

In some urban centers, workaholism is so common that people do not consider it unusual: They accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington,D.C., for example, frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week. They don't do this because they have to; they do it because they want to.
Workaholism can be a serious problem. Because true workaholics would rather work than do anything else, they probably don't know how to relax; that is, they might not enjoy movies, sports, or other types of entertainment. Most of all, they hate to sit and do nothing. The lives of workaholics are usually stressful, and this tension and worry can cause health problems such as heart attacks or stomach ulcers. In addition typical workaholics don't pay much attention to their families. They spend little time with their children, and their marriages may end in divorce.
Is workaholism always dangerous? Perhaps not. There are, certainly, people who work well under stress. Some studies show that many workaholics have great energy and interest in life. Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics, work and entertainment are the same thing. Their jobs provide them with a challenge; this keeps them busy and creative.
Why do workaholics enjoy their jobs so much? There are several advantages to work. Of course, it provides people with paychecks, and this is important. But it offers more than financial security. It provides people with self confidence; they have a feeling of satisfaction when they've produced a challenging piece of work and are able to say, "I made that." Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity; through participation in work, they get a sense of self-satisfaction and individualism. In addition, most jobs provide people with a socially acceptable way to meet others. Perhaps some people are compulsive about their work, but their addiction seems to be a safe-even an advantageous-one.
71. A workaholic is a person who ____.
A. has to work at least 8 to 9 hours a day
B. volunteers to work for long hours
C. is addicted to work
D. has the work with more responsibility than others
72. One of the reasons that some people are not willing to quit even in their eighties and nineties is that ____.
A. they are in the need of financial security
B. they would rather work than be disturbed by domestic discord
C. they long for a sense of identity and being accomplished
D. they may have health problems from sheer boredom
73.The main idea of the passage is that ____.
A. workaholics are usually successful people, but their lives are in a mess
B. workaholism can lead to serious problems but it can also create a joyful life
C. people who indulge in their work may enjoy movies, sports and other kinds of entertainment
D. those who work even under difficult conditions may be very happy
74.It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
A. in the eyes of all the common people workaholics are peculiar
B.to workaholics work is the sole source of happiness
C. a piece of challenging work may provide the workaholics a sense of satisfaction
D. workaholics are as addicted to their job as other people are to drugs or alcohol
75.The author's attitude towards workaholism is ____.
A. favorable B. critical
C. worried D. neutral

At no time in history has there been such a mass movement of people from the countryside to the city as is happening now.By the year 2030,it’s imated that more than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities,twice as many as today.This means that the problems faced by cities today——overcrowding,poor housing,unemployment,poverty and lack of food and water——will be twice as bad, unless we find sol-utions soon.
Another serious issue is how to provide good tran-sportation for their citizens.Many of the world’s major cities are already struggling with out-of-date transp-ortation structures.How can they deal with the addi-tional demands?
London is a good example.Its enlargement was made possible by the invention ofthe steam engine,which powered the world’s first undergroundrailway.But its transport systems are now hopelessly out—of-date and need urgent modernization.London’sfuture success depends very much on developing better public transport.
Over a million people travel into central London every day from outside the city.They,and the people who live in London,want a public transport system that is efficient,safe and environmentally friendly.What they often get,however,falls far short of that ideal.Commut-ers complain about cost and pollution,while businesses worry,about the problems their staff have in getting to work on time.Yet,the proportion of London households that own a car grew from just over 10 percent in the early 1950s to over 60 percent today.
As the city has become increasingly crowded and polluted,there has been a growing realization that ac-tion must be taken soon.
56. It is believed that.
A. overpopulation causes the problems in cities
B. two thirds of the world’s population are living in cities today
C. it isn’t difficult to solve the problems faced by cities today

57.“Environmentally friendly” is closest in mea-ning to_____.
A. cheap and convenient
B. fair to all passengers
C. 1ike a friendly neighbor
D. pleasant and nonpolluting

B. traffic jars in London
C. possible solutions to London’s transportation problems

Are you forty years old and fat? Do you wear fine clothes? Do you look rich if so, be careful? There is a pickpocket looking for you .World travelers,away from home and usually carrying much money,are often trou-bled by pickpockets in foreign countries,but they should remember that there are pickpockets in their own country,too.
A typical pickpocket is under forty years of age,usually a male.He has nimble fingers and has trained himself in running.Generally,he carries a newspaper or magazine in his hand.He may appear fairly clever and pretend to be calm.He has learned his job from another pickpocket,and he repays his“teacher”by giving him a percentage of the money or things which he steals.The skilled pickpocket always operates in crowded places.Very well dressed men and slightly drunken men are the favorite objects of the pickpocket.
An average-sized department store hires about six or seven full-timedetectives. These men and women are constantly looking for pickpockets quickly.But a g-ood pickpocket knows these things and is very careful.He is especiallybusy on buses,trains and subways b-etween 11:00 am and 3:00 pm when there are many shoppers with much money to spend.He carefully re-members the payday and bonus times of companies.
Pickpocketing and stealing from a shop together re-present about 75% of daytime petty crimes in America.The sentence for these crimes is usually from three to five years in prison.After finishing their sentence,pick-pockets and thieves seldom reform; they usually adva-nce to more serious crimes.
59. From the first paragraph we know that_____.
A. only those persons who are forty years old and fat are the aims of the pickpocket
B. only those persons who wear fine clothes look rich
C. world travelers are only troubled in foreign countries
D. those who look rich and those who travel abroad should pay more attention to pickpockets
60. According to this passage,what does a typical pickpocket look like?

B. A fat rich man.
C. A clever calm man.
D. A middle-aged traveler.
61. What is the job of a detective in a department store?
A. To look for the pickpockets' around.
B. To punish the pickpockets in no time.
C. To sentence the pickpockets they find.
D. To keep the whole store in good order.
62. Why is a pickpocket especially busy on buses between 1 1:00 am and 3:00pm?
A. Because this is the time when detectives have a rest.
B. Because this is the time when many shoppers carry much money to spend.
C. Because this is the time when companies pay bonus to their employees.
D. Because this is the time when their hands are nimblest.
C
There is probably no field of human activity in which our values and lifestyles are shown more clearly and strongly than they are in the clothes that we choose to wear.The dress of an individual is a kind of “sign language” that communicates a set of information and is usually the basis on which immediate impressions are formed.Traditionally,a concern for clothes was considered to be an affair of females,while men took pride in the fact that they were completely lacking clothes consciousness.
This type of American culture is gradually changing as man dress takes on greater variety and color.Even as early as 1955,a researcher in Michigan said that men considered that the value of clothing in daily life was very important.The white- collar workers in particular viewed dress as a symbol of ability,which could be used to impress or influence others,especially in the work situation.The white-collar worker was described as extremely concerned about the impression his clothing made on his boss.Although blue-collar workers were 1ess aware that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing,they recognized that any difference from the accepted pattern of dress would be made fun of by fellow workers.
Since that time,of course,the patterns have changed:the typical white-collar worker may now be wearing the blue shirt,while the blue-collar worker may be wearing a white shirt:but the importance of dress has not become less.Other researchers in recent years have helped to prove its importance in the lives of individuals at various age levels and in different social and economic status groups.
63. The passage tells us that_____.
A. our values and lifestyles are in no field of human activity
B. the clothes that we choose to wear have some-thing to do with our values and lifestyles
C. our values and lifestyles are from the sign lan-guage
D. the clothes we choose to wear depend on a set of information and immediate impression

C. both men and women paid great attention to their clothes

65. White-collar workers pay great attention to their clothes because_____.
A. they extremely concern about the impression their clothes make on their bosses
B. they know that people might judge them on the basis of their clothing
C. they want to impress and influence others
D. they don’t want to be laughed at
66. The passage mainly suggests that_____.
A. now men pay more attention to their clothes
B. women always like beautiful dresses
C. people have paid more and more attention to the importance of dress
D. American culture is changing greatly

In some urban centers, workaholism is so common that people do not consider it unusual: They accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington,D.C., for example, frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week. They don't do this because they have to; they do it because they want to.
Workaholism can be a serious problem. Because true workaholics would rather work than do anything else, they probably don't know how to relax; that is, they might not enjoy movies, sports, or other types of entertainment. Most of all, they hate to sit and do nothing. The lives of workaholics are usually stressful, and this tension and worry can cause health problems such as heart attacks or stomach ulcers. In addition typical workaholics don't pay much attention to their families. They spend little time with their children, and their marriages may end in divorce.
Is workaholism always dangerous? Perhaps not. There are, certainly, people who work well under stress. Some studies show that many workaholics have great energy and interest in life. Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics, work and entertainment are the same thing. Their jobs provide them with a challenge; this keeps them busy and creative.
Why do workaholics enjoy their jobs so much? There are several advantages to work. Of course, it provides people with paychecks, and this is important. But it offers more than financial security. It provides people with self confidence; they have a feeling of satisfaction when they've produced a challenging piece of work and are able to say, "I made that." Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity; through participation in work, they get a sense of self-satisfaction and individualism. In addition, most jobs provide people with a socially acceptable way to meet others. Perhaps some people are compulsive about their work, but their addiction seems to be a safe-even an advantageous-one.
71. A workaholic is a person who ____.
A. has to work at least 8 to 9 hours a day
B. volunteers to work for long hours
C. is addicted to work
D. has the work with more responsibility than others
72. One of the reasons that some people are not willing to quit even in their eighties and nineties is that ____.
A. they are in the need of financial security
B. they would rather work than be disturbed by domestic discord
C. they long for a sense of identity and being accomplished
D. they may have health problems from sheer boredom
73.The main idea of the passage is that ____.
A. workaholics are usually successful people, but their lives are in a mess
B. workaholism can lead to serious problems but it can also create a joyful life
C. people who indulge in their work may enjoy movies, sports and other kinds of entertainment
D. those who work even under difficult conditions may be very happy
74.It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
A. in the eyes of all the common people workaholics are peculiar
B.to workaholics work is the sole source of happiness
C. a piece of challenging work may provide the workaholics a sense of satisfaction
D. workaholics are as addicted to their job as other people are to drugs or alcohol
75.The author's attitude towards workaholism is ____.
A. favorable B. critical
