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和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡
将该项涂黑。
A
When we meet another person for the first time, we are actually floded with information. Almost at once, we notice his appearance, style of dress, and manner of speech. Furthermore, as we listen to what he has to stay and observe the things he does, we begin to form some ideas of what kind of person he is and he intends to do. As you know from your own experience, though, we do not only gather these separate pieces of information. Instead, we go further and combine them into a unified picture. In short, we form an overall impression of each person we meet----an impression that can be favorable or unfavarable. But how precisely do we perform this task? How do we combine so much different information into a clear first impression with such quick speed? A great deal of research has been performed on this question, and results point to the following answer: we perform this task through a special type of averaging.
Expressed very simply, our impression of others seem to represent an average of all information that can be gathered about them. That is, they reflect a process in which all information we have about others is averaged together----- but with some facts, our input receiving grester weight than others. As you can readily see, this makes good sense. For example, in formong an impression of a new boss you would probably be affected to a much greater degree by how this person gives you orders (whether respectfully or not) than by the color of his or her eyes. The fact that not all information about other persons affects our impressions of them to the same degree, raises an important question. Just what kind of input receive the greatest weight? Again research provides some revealing(令人深思的)answers.
56.This passage is mainly about________.
A. how our first impression are expressed B. how our first impressions are formed
C. how we can favorably impress others D. how first impressions affect our lives
57. according to the passage, the first impression is _________.
A. the result of quick look B. not based on enough information
C. a combination of pieces of information D. the observation of what a person looks like
58. Research has shown that first impression are generally more affected by___________.
A. the way others speak B. apearance and style of dress
C. all information we have D.certain types of information at hand
59.The underlined word “weight” in the last paragraph is closet in meaning to _______.
A. amount B. heavy C. important D. difficulty

Visiting a pub is one of Briain’s oldest forms of entertainment. The ideas for the first houses was brought to Britain thousands of years ago by conquering Roman army. The first pubs served only wine, but after the discovery of hops (啤酒花) in the fourteenth century, pubs began to serve mainly beer, as they do today.
Today, there are 61,000 pubs in the United Kingdom. One of the oldest, Frighting Cocks in St. Albans, Herts, is located in a building that dates back to the 11 th century. Modern pubs are often owned by English breweries and serve only their owner’s products.britain pubs are required to have a license, which is difficult to obtain, and operate between 11a.m. and 11p.m. every day except Sunday, when they must close at 10:30p.m.
The drinking age in Britain is eighteen, but fourteen-year-olds may enter a pub unaccompanied if they order a meal. Children may enter a pub with their parents under 9p.m., which lets families enjoy reasonably priced pub meals together, and allows pubs to continue in their taditional roles as community centers.
Customs in British pubs differ from those in American bars. In Britain, you must go to the bar to order drinks and food and pay for your purchase immediately, there is no table service. Bartenders are called “landlords” and “barmaids” and they do not expect frequent tipping. To tip a landlord or barmaid, it is customary to tell them to “buy himself one”. He or she may or may not take you up on your offer. At the end of a visit, a polite customer will return his glass to the bar.
60.Which of the following is not allowed in Britain ?
A. children under 14 entering a pub with their parents.
B. young men over 14 eating in a pub by themselves.
C. children of about 15 drinking in a pub with adults.
D. Young men at or older than 18 drinking beer in a pub.
61. What can we entertain ourselves with at Fighting Cocks today ?
A. 1,000-year-old hops. B. mainly beer. C. Italian food. D. Just wine.
62. We can infer from the last paragraph that _____________.
A. British pubs and American bars are completely different
B. services in British pubs are better than those in American bars
C. in American bars you can pay the bill after the meal
D. tip is necessary in both British pubs and American bars
63. This passage is mainly written to __________.
A. give us some information about British pubs
B. compare the British pubs and American bars
C. tell us something about the history of British pubs
D. let us know some rules in British pubs
C
It is not always easy to understand inventions and new developments in science. To understand fiber optics(光纤), however, you can try an experiment.
Put a drop or two of mile into the glass of water. Turn off the lights. Shine the light from your flashlight through the top of the glass at an angle of about 45 degrees. Put a piece of white paper against the glass when the beam(光束)of light is shining. Move the paper so you can see where the beam is coming out of the glass. You should see a spot of light. Some of the light has passed through the water and through the glass. You see it on the paper. You also see another beam going down into the glass. It is being reflected down into the glass.
Next move the flashlight so that the beam is coming straighter down (30 degrees) into the water. You will see the same phenomenon: some of the light is reflected back into the glass. And some escapes out. Now move the beam of light from the flashlight slowly up until you cannot see any light escaping. This point is called the “point of total internal reflection.” The word internal means “inside.” All the light is staying inside the glass. There is no beam showing a bright spot on the white paper. All the light energy is inside the glass.
The glass of milky water is like a strand(线)of glass. A fiber optic tube is a bundle of long thin strands of glass, really many tubes. However, the principle(原理) is the same: at a certain angle, all the light energy that goes into the glass fiber comes out the other end.
Light is energy. Sound is energy. Radio waves and electricity are both energy. They can all be changed into light, and as light they can all travel along a glass fiber. Light travels at the rate of 186,000 miles per second. Therefore, a message can travel that fast in a glass fiber. This is the principle, or law of nature, that makes fiber optics work.

65. The purpose of the experiment is to tell us .
A.how fast light travels
B.how fiber optics works
C.how light travels in a glass of water
D.how fiber optics helps mankind
66. In the experiment, makes the biggest difference.
A.the angel at which to shine the light from the flashlight
B.the amount of water in the glass of milk
C.the number of drops of milk to pour into the glass of water
D.the size of the hole through which to shine light from the flashlight
67. Which of the following can be the best title?
A.Experiment of Light Travel B.Principles of Fiber Optics
C.Communication on Fiber Optics D.Theory of Light Travel

I’m afraid we have to accept the fact that criminals(罪犯) are getting younger all the time, but unfortunately the crimes are becoming more serious. I only wish we didn’t have to admit this but, in doing so, we must first ask ourselves what’s wrong with our society, or else our children clearly couldn’t care less about law and order. The days of the sneak thief who stole a couple of apples or a packet of sweets from a chain store are actually over. I had a chance to say this to a young offender the other day, “Sweets from a chain store?” He said, “You must be joking. That’s what kids do.” I may add that he was aged 11. In other words, today’s young criminals would find it laughable to risk being caught for petty theft of this description. They’ve got enough money in their pockets to buy the sweets they want, anyway. I think it’s all too easy to put the blame on anyone but ourselves. Faced as they are with a society that frequently gives them up on the grounds of color, race or low learning ability, these children turn to crime as a means of showing off their self-respect. Natured on films and TV glamorizing(美化) the role of the criminal, they are quick to copy these anti-heroes. It is a matter of increasing concern to the police and government that the Children and Young Persons Act, 1969, is becoming improper to deal with the rise in young criminals. Because the emphasis has been placed on the cause and gentle treatment of their crimes, rather than on old-fashioned methods of punishment, the children themselves know well that there is very little that can be done to prevent them continuing to steal, damage and in some case even cause the death of those they choose to terrorize(恐吓). I don’t like the look of this situation any more than you do. In our own interests and in those of our children and grandchildren, we cannot continue to take the “it’s nothing to do with me” attitude we have used for so long. We must unite in a common demand for harder and stricter methods against these young criminals.
72. When he raised the question “Sweets from the chain store?”, the writer was asking the boy whether ________.
A. he wanted some sweets from a chain store
B. he was caught while stealing from a chain store
C. the days of stealing sweets from a chain store were over
D. stealing sweets from a chain store was illegal
73. Today’s young criminals wouldn’t commit such crimes as stealing some fruit because _______.
A. they are afraid of being caught on the spot
B. people will laugh at them
C. they have enough money to buy them
D. it is not worth the risk
74. In dealing with young criminals, the author is obviously in favor of _______.
A. severe punishment once used in the past
B. showing great concern about our children
C. more patient methods in educating young criminals
D. treating every young criminal as our own child
75. In the author’s opinion, who should be blamed most?
A. TV and films. B. Young criminals. C. Society. D. Police.

Besides, it’s not surprising that readers like to find fault in what they’re reading, so every writer ought to be ready to receive any comment on their works.
However, some hold the opposite opinion that it’s wrong to do so without the writer’s permission. It has broken the Copyright Law. What’s more, the Chinese teaching in schools is dull and students are less interested in it . But Han Han’s articles are easy to understand and full of imagination. That’s why teenagers like to read his books.
In my opinion, whoever writes something for others to read should write with no mistake.

Man has a big brain. He can think, learn and speak. Scientists once thought that men are different from animals because they can think and learn. They know that animals can learn. So scientists are beginning to understand that men are really different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry and unhappy. Apes can undrstand some things more quickly than humans, one or two have even learned a few words. But they are different from us. They cannot join words and make sentences. They cannot think like us because they have no language. They can never think about the past or the future. Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to build a modern world because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five---but no animals learns to speak. How do children learn ? what happens when we speak ? scientists do not really know. They only know that man can speak because he has a big brain.
