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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
He was the son of a bankrupt, but became a millionaire; a scientist with a love of literature, an industrialist who managed to remain an idealist. He made a fortune but lived a simple life, and although cheerful in company he was often sad in private. A lover of mankind, he never had a wife or family to love him; a patriotic son of his native land, he died alone on foreign soil. He invented a new explosive, dynamite, to improve the peacetime industries of mining and road building, but saw it used as a weapon of war to kill and injure his fellow men. During his useful life he often felt he was useless:“Alfred Nobel,” he once wrote of himself, “ought to have been put to death as soon as he entered life.” World-famous for his works he was never personally well known, for throughout his life he avoided publicity.
He was born in Stockholm on October 21, 1833 but moved to Russia in 1842, where his father, Immanuel, made a strong position for himself in the engineering industry. Immanuel Nobel invented the landmine and made a lot of money from government orders for it during the Crimean War, but went bankrupt soon after. Alfred had never been to school or university but had studied privately and he was a skillful chemist and excellent linguist. He was quick to see industrial openings for his scientific inventions and built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries.
But Nobel’s main concern was never with making money or even with making scientific discoveries. Seldom happy, he was always searching for a meaning to life. Perhaps because he could not find ordinary human love—he never married—he came to care deeply about the whole of mankind.“I’d rather take care of the stomachs of the living than the glory of the dead,” he once said. His greatest wish, however, was to see an end to wars and he spent much time and money working for this cause until his death. His famous will, in which he left money to provide prizes for outstanding work, made the man who felt he should have died at birth remembered and respected long after his death.
56. Alfred Nobel’s main concern is to ______.
A. look for a meaning to life
B. make as much money as possible
C. make many scientific discoveries
D. leave all his money to other people
57. Alfred Nobel did the following except ______.
A. build up a great many companies in different countries
B. make a lot of money from government orders for his landmine
C. spend a lot of time working hard to improve himself
D. live a simple life and often feel sad
58. According to Para. 3, we can infer that ______.
A. Alfred Nobel was only generous to the poor people
B. Alfred Nobel was so proud that he could hardly find anyone to marry
C. When alive, Alfred lived a meaningless life
D. Alfred Nobel made great contributions to world peace
59. The underlined words “the man” in the last sentence of the passage refers to ______.
A. the help receiver B. Alfred Nobel
C. Nobel Prize winner D. Immanuel Nobel
60. Which of the following is the best title?
A. Alfred Nobel—A Man of Great Achievements
B. Alfred Nobel—A Man of Literature
C. Alfred Nobel—A Man of Sharp Contrasts
D. Alfred Nobel—A Man of World Peace
B

While English learning has been popular in China for decades, Chinese as a foreign language is just starting to catch on on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
The study of Chinese used to be concentrated on a few college campuses and in large Chinese communities on both coasts of North America. But now it is spreading to places where, only a decade ago, such a widespread and continuous interest in the language seemed unimaginable. The enthusiasm in the Chinese language began to take shape in the 1980s. After a brief decrease in 1989, it gradually regained momentum (动力；冲力) in the early 1990s. In recent years, enrollment growth has been steady.
Although Chinese is clearly enjoying a rise in popularity, it is far from being the most popular foreign language in North America and, according to most people interviewed, probably will never be. Spanish and French have traditionally been the most popular second languages. A large number of Latin American immigrants have made Spanish a useful tool for communication in America. In Canada, French is an official language.
In a 2002 survey of US colleges and universities by the Modern Language Association in New York, 746,267 students entered Spanish classes and 34,153 Chinese classes. In fact, Chinese ranked 7th, behind Spanish, French (201,979), German (91,100), Italian (63,899), American Sign Language (60,781) and Japanese (52,238).
But when broken down, the collected facts and information give more: Graduate students who took Chinese kept constant over a decade, but two-year and four-year undergraduates had double-digit growth. French and German, despite their high enrolments, have not waved much in popularity, but Chinese has overtaken Spanish in growth rate.
64. In the writer’s view, what’s the reason why Chinese is far from being the
most popular foreign language in North America?
A. A widespread and continuous interest in the language seems unimaginable.
B. Only a few colleges and large Chinese communities concentrated on the
study of Chinese in the past.
C. The enthusiasm in the Chinese language decreased in 1989.
D. Spanish and French are traditionally the most popular second language in
North America.
65. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Nowadays Chinese has ranked 7th among the foreign languages used in the
US.
B. Chinese is becoming popular with Americans at present.
C. More graduate students in US colleges and universities are enrolled in
Chinese classes in recent years.
D. Chinese has recently overtaken Spanish in growth rate.
66. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “______”.
A. Chinese language
B. a brief decrease in 1989
C. a widespread and continuous interest in language
D. the enthusiasm in the Chinese language
D
Finally, I worked out a plan for getting the doctor out of my way. I had always been proud of my skill with a gun. I never missed hitting a deer, or a duck on the wing.
That day we went out hunting. The doctor was holding his rifle, moving carefully toward a deer. I was straight behind him. My plan took shape right there and then. And at my side watching was my hunting dog, Jerry. I kept my eyes on the doctor. He came to a sudden stop, motionless. He was now a perfect target.
I raised my gun, carefully watching him. The moment he fired would be my signal. It had now come. He raised his rifle… For a second, a fierce silence… I pressed the trigger. I saw the flame leap from my gun and heard the loud report… There was a low whimper (悲吠声), and a mass of fur…
The doctor quickly lowered his gun, and turned around. “You saw that deer too?” Then he noticed what lay between us—Jerry. The dog lay there with his head between his paws. His eyes still kept staring at me. The doctor ran toward Jerry and looked down at him with an extremely painful look. “How terrible!” he moaned… “This beautiful creature… Oh, Henry, you must be feeling awful! ”We stood close together for a time, speechless. At last he said, “Henry, that dog must have made an impossible leap to get in front of that bullet.”
The long silent moments at Jerry’s graveside (墓地) were extremely painful. They brought back everything in clear and sharp detail. But I would never let it disappear from memory. I would keep it as green as the ferns (羊齿植物) I placed on the small headstone of Jerry’s grave, for it’s Jerry that stopped my wrong.
67. Which of the following do you think is “my plan”?
A. My plan was to shoot the doctor when the doctor fired his gun.
B. My plan was to take the doctor by surprise.
C. My plan was to shoot the deer before the doctor could make it.
D. My plan was to show that I never missed hitting a deer.
68. Before this selected part here, the writer must have mentioned ______.
A. he and the doctor were former classmates and good friends
B. he hated the doctor because the doctor wanted to take his dog away
C. he had an unfriendly attitude toward the doctor in his deep heart
D. he had decided to show he was better at hunting than the doctor
69. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The writer would bear what he had done to Jerry in mind forever.
B. Jerry’s death was beyond the writer’s expectation but it did make him
think.
C. From the passage, we can see the doctor loved Jerry deeply.
D. The writer felt sorry mainly for not taking good care of Jerry.
70. According to the passage, we can infer that Jerry died because ______.
A. an accident happened in the hunting
B. his owner was careless
C. the two men hated each other
D. he made out his owner’s plan

NASDAQ, short for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system, is one of the largest markets in the world for the trading of stocks. The number of companies listed on NASDAQ is more than that on any of the other stock exchanges in the United States, including the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the American Stock Exchange (AMEX). The majority of companies listed on NASDAQ are smaller than most of those on the NYSE and AMEX. NASDAQ has become known as the home of new technology companies, particularly computer and computer-related businesses.

Now being the world's first truly global market, the NASDAQ Stock Market is the market of choice for business industry leaders worldwide.
