第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每题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。

A

Shundagarh is a village on India’s east-facing coast . It is a village of simple mud and grass houses built on the beach just above the waterline . The Khadra Hills rise immediately behind the village , to a height of one hundred and fifty meters YC. A simple , good-hearted old man , whose name was Jalpur , farmed two small fields on the very edge of these hills . From his fields he could see the fishing boats that traveled up and down the coast . He could see the children playing on the sands ; their mothers washing clothes on the flat stones where the Shiva River flowed into the sea ; and their fathers landing the latest catch or repairing nets and telling stories that had no end .

All Jalpur owned in the world were the clothes he wore day in and day out , the miserable (蹩脚的) hut that he slept in at night , a few tools and cooking pots —and his fields . The corn that he grew was all that made life possible . If the weather was kind and the harvest was good , Jalpur could live happily enough —not well , but happily . When the sun was fierce , and there was little or no rain , then he came close to the line between life and death .

Last year the weather had been so kind , and the harvest promised to be so good , that Jalpur had been wondering whether he could sell all that he had and live with his son farther up the coast . He had been thinking about doing this for some years . It was his dearest wish to spend his last days with his son and his wife . But he would go only if he could give ; he would not go if it meant taking food out of the mouths of his grandchildren . He would rather die hungry than do this .

On the day when Jalpur decided that he would harvest his corn , sell it , and move up the coast , he looked out to sea and saw a huge wave , several kilometers out , advancing on the coast and on the village of Shundagrah . Within ten minutes everyone in Shundagrarh would be drowned . Jalpur would have shouted , but the people were too far away to hear . He would have run down the hill , but he was too old to run . He was prepared to do anything to save the people of Shundagarh , so he did the only thing that he could do : he set fire to his corn . In a matter of seconds the flames were rising high and smoke was rising higher . Within a minute the people of Shundagarh were racing up the hill to see what had happened . There , in the middle of his blackened cornfield , they found Jalpur ; and there they buried him .

On his grave , they wrote the words : Here lies Jalpur , a man who gave , living : a man who died , giving .

56.Which of the following could Jalpur NOT see from his Fields ?

    A.Mothers washing clothes .          B.Fathers taking their corn to market .

    C.Fishing boats traveling on the sea .    D.Children playing on the sands .

57.Why didn’t Jalpur live well ?

    A.He didn’t work hard .

    B.He had too many children to feed .

    C.He only depended on good weather and harvest for survival .

    D.The villagers kept taking his corn .

58.What did Jalpur do when he saw the huge wave ?

    A.He set his corn on fire so the people of Shundagarh would leave the beach .

    B.He screamed loudly to get the villagers’ attention .

    C.He ran down the hill to tell the people .

    D.He stood still , not knowing what to do .

59.The villagers were thankful to Jalpur because he had      .

   A.given his life in order to save others

    B.saved their village from being drowned by the wave

    C.given them many things during his life

    D.given them his corn in order to save them from hunger

Internet shopping is a new way of shopping . Nowadays , you can shop for just about anything from your armchair . All you need is a computer which is linked to the Internet .Shopping on the Internet is becoming increasingly popular . In the United States , people spent over US $2.5 billion on Internet shopping in 1998 . This figure is expected to reach US $ 11 billion by the year 2004.

People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet . Physical products include items such as books , CDs , clothes and foods . These types of products are the most common purchases through the Internet . You can also buy information products such as on-line news or magazine stories , or you can download computer software through the Internet . Services such as booking airline tickets , reserving hotels or renting cars are also available on the Internet . You can also go shopping on the Internet for entertainment services and take part in on-line games .

Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper . The most important advantage is convenience . You can shop when you like as the on-line shops are open 24 hours a day and you don’t have to queue with other shoppers at the checkout counters . Secondly , it is easy to find what you are looking for on the Internet . Even out-of-print books may be ordered on line . Finally , it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet , and you can tell the shop exactly what you want .

The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality . Also , many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends . Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards , so Internet companies are now finding ways to make on-line payment safe .

Many people insure themselves against death . The beneficiary (受益人)may be a wife or a child . For a few dollars a traveler flying from Australia to New York can insure himself for many thousands of dollars . If he should then find himself crashing into the side of a mountain , he will at least be happy at the thought that his family will not be left penniless . It is only fair to add that the safety record of most airlines makes this insurance rather unnecessary . Insurance against death is a legal gamble . The insurance company has complicated tables of statistics which show the average length of life of people in different occupations .

They may calculate , for example , that the average life span of a clerk is sixty years . At 38, Mr. Lee has a “life expectancy” of twenty-two years . He may want to insure himself so that when he dies his heir( 继承人) will receive $ 1,000. He will have to pay a larger sum each year than , say , Mr. Cole Whose “life expectancy” at the age of 26 is thirty-four years .

The gamble arises because the company hoes that each clerk will continue to pay premiums(保险费) until he is at least sixty years old . If Mr. Lee dies after he has paid premiums for two or three years only , the insurance company will lose heavily . But if he lives to the age of sixty or beyond , the insurance company will make a profit .

The average length of life sometimes varies from one occupation to another and from one part of the world to another . In some jobs the death from accident or disease is higher than in others .

67.Why does the insurance company keep statistics showing the average length of life of different people ?

    A.Because it needs to know how the length of life has changed over the years.

    B.Because it needs the statistics to decide the sum of premium a certain person has to pay .

    C.Because it wants to know whether it will make or lose money .

    D.Because it doesn’t sell insurance to people who has a shorter life expectancy .

68.Mr . Lee has to pay a larger sum each year than Mr. Cole because       .

    A.Mr . Lee buys a more expensive insurance

    B.Mr. Lee is more likely to die young in his occupation

    C.Mr . Cole is likely to pay the insurance company for more years than him

    D.he is not as healthy as Mr. Cole

69.According to the passage , the insurance company make large profits       .

    A.if most insurance buyers live longer than the average length of life

    B.if more and more people buy insurance against death

    C.if nobody above sixty buys insurance against death

    D.if the premium is raised so the company can get more money each year

70.According to the passage , the insurance companies will analyze all the factors except     .

    A.different occupations              B.different places

    C.people’s ages                    D.people’s characters

E

There are two types of people in the world . Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and other comforts of life , one becomes happy , the other becomes miserable . This arises from the different ways in which they consider things , persons , and events , and the resulting effects upon their minds .

The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things : the pleasant parts of conversation , the well-prepared dishes , the goodness of the wines , and the fine weather . They enjoy all the cheerful things . Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the contrary things . Therefore , they are continually discontented . By their remarks , they sour the pleasures of society , offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere . If this turn of mind were founded in nature , such unhappy persons would be the more to be critical . The tendency to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitation . It grows into a habit , unknown to its possessors . The habit may be strong , but it may be cured when those who have it are convinced of its bad effects on their interests and tastes . I hope this little warning may be of service to them , and help them change this habit .

Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination , it has serious consequences in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck .Those people offend many others , nobody loves them , and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect , and scarcely that. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draw them into arguments . If they aim at obtaining some advantage in rank or fortune , nobody wishes them success . Nor will anyone stir a step or speak a word to favor their hopes .

If they bring on themselves public disapproval , no one will defend or excuse them ,and many will join to criticize their misconduct . These people should change this bad habit and condescend(俯就) to be pleased with what is pleasing , without worrying needlessly about themselves and others . If they do not , it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them .Otherwise , it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient , especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

71.People who are to be unhappy      .

    A.always act differently from others

    B.usually have a fault-finding habit

One possible version :

Do you understand this cartoon ? Let me tell you . One day ,the son wanted to help a little girl up when she fell over , but his mother stopped him and said , “Don’t do that , otherwise others will think it was you who knocked her down .” A few days later , the mother was shocked at seeing her son just let the fallen oil bottle be . She asked him why he didn’t put it in place , but the boy talked back , “If I had straightened the bottle up , you would have thought that I did it .”

I disagree with what the mother did in the story . I think parents should set a good example to their children . They should not only care for their children’s health , but their minds . They should let their children know it’s a pleasure to help others who are in trouble . We live in the society which is a bit family for all of us . Everyone should do something good to build up our society .
