第三节、阅读理解（共20小题、每小题2分，共40分）

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 (撞击) 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 catch 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 (床垫). 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 (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) 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 stuntgirls tool

 

36. 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

37. 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

38. 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

 

39. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?

 

A. Strength. B. Exactness. C. Speed. D. Carefulness.

 

40. What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman?

 

A.Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.

 

B.The percentage of serious accidents is high.

 

C.Parachutes must be of good quality.

 

D. The cliff is too high.

B

When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said“the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.

Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?

Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.

Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.

Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”

Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.

41.How do you understand‘Point 1 —The telephone creates the need to communicate,6…’？

A. People don’t communicate without telephone.

B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.

C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.

D. People communicate more because of more traffic.

42.Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?

A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.

B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.

C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.

D. Mobile phones are part of people’s life.

43. Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life?

a. Point 1. b. Point2. c. Point3. d. Point 4. e. Point 5.

A. c, d B. a, e C. a, c D. b, e

44.It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through .

A. the TV screen B. a fax machine

C. the phone line hooked up to the computer D. a microphone

45.The best heading for the passage is .

A. phone Power B. Kinds of Phone

C. how to Use Phones D. Advantage of Phones

C

The greatest recent changes have ,been in the lives of women ,During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties ,and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old ,By the time the youngest was fifteen ,the mother would have been id her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years ,during which custom ,chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work, Today women marry younger and have fewer children Usually a woman ‘s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty－five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances （家用电器）and convenience foods.

This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’ s economic position Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full－time job However ,when they married ,they usually left work at once and never returned to it ,Today the school－leaving age is sixteen ,many girls stay at school after that age ,and though women tend to marry younger ,more married women stay at work at leas until shortly before their first child is born Very many more after wads ,return to full or part-time work Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage ,with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more e-qually in providing the money and running the home ,according to the abilities and inter-est of each them.

46．According to the passage ,around the year1990 most women married

Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners .Most children will“obey”spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word“obey”is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.

Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spo-ken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises ,and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly ex-pressive as delight, pain ,friendliness, and so on But since these can’t be said to show the baby;s intention to communicate ,they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language ,It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment ,and that by six months theyare able to add new words to their store This self-imitation（摸仿）leads on to deliberate （有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imita-tions can be considered as speech.

It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation; and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use .at seven months .of “mama”as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaning-less sound simply because he also uses it at another times for his father ,his dog ,or any-thing else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself ,I doubt ,however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds .

51．Before children start speaking .

A．they need equal amount of listening

B．they need different amounts of listening

C．they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obey spoken instructions

D．they can’t understand and obey the adult ‘s oral instructions

52．Children who start speaking late .

A．may have problems with their listening

B．Probably do not hear enough language spoken around them

C．Usually pay close attention to what they hear

D．Often take a long tine in learning to listen properly

53．A baby’s first noises are .

A．an expression of his moods and feelings

B．an early form of language

C．a sign that he means to tell you something

D．An imitation of the speech of adults.

54．The problem of deciding at what point a baby’ imitations can be considered as

speech …

A．is important because words have different meanings for different people

B．is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually

C．is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age.

D．Is one that should be completely ignored（忽略）because children’s use of words is of-ten

meaningless .

55．The speaker implies .

A．parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds.

B．children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak

C．Children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly

D．even after they have learnt to speak ,children still enjoy imitating

Since the beginning of human evolution, men have migrated（迁移）across continents in search of food, shelter, safety, and comfortable weather. People still move for these reasons, but new reasons for human migration are arising, such as job relocation(重新安置) and overpopulation.

    Three million migrants are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and increasingly, their destination is a neighboring country in developing parts of the world. People are moving within the developing world for the same reasons as they migrate to wealthier nations. People from poor countries are going to less poor countries, fleeing wars and conflicts. They are also responding to population pressures because some countries are densely populated, and they often have high population growth. Those people need to go somewhere else.

    There are three main reasons why people move. The basic categories and percentages are as follows, according to the Current Population Surveys (CPS):

    Family-related reasons account for 26.3%, including changes in marital（婚姻的） status, establishing a household and other family reasons; work-related reasons 16.2%, including job transfer, retirement, and other job-related reasons; housing-related reasons 51.6%, including new and better houses, better neighborhood, cheaper housing and other housing reasons; the remaining 5.9% of other reasons are attending college, the change of climate and health reasons.

    Americans have been migrating south and west for decades in search of better job opportunities and warmer climates. They have also been moving to places a little far from cities, in search of bigger yards and houses, lower crime rates and better schools. In 1950, nearly a fifth of the population lived in the nation’s 20 largest cities. In 2006, it was about one in ten. That’s why many American people say, “Big Cities Shrink as People Move South, West.”

    Between March 2005 and March 2007, 73.4 million Americans moved. Fifty-six percent of these moves were within the same country. Twenty percent were between counties but in the same state. Nineteen percent were moves to a different state. Some families even went abroad.

    Hi，Grown-up，　　
As a student of your age. I understand your situation. The problem you are facing is common among our teenagers. However, it should be wise not to do anything that may hurt her feelings. Here are a few suggestions.　　
First, it’s advisable to talk more with your mom .I learnt to talks help you understand each other better. They are also opportunities to let her know your ideas of and attitudes toward many things.　　
Second, you should learn to do your own things well, proving to your mom that you are already a “grown-up”, It’s even better if you could share more of the housework, such as cleaning, washing and cooking.　　
Hope my ideas will work.
