第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40）
阅读下面短文，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
In the United States, it is important to be on time for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching in a Brazilian university. The two - hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and end at 12 p.m. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10:30a.m. Several arrived after 10:50 a.m. Two students came after 11 a.m. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.
The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: lunch with a friend and in a university class, separately. He gave them an example and asked them how they would react. If they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.
In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour. In contrast, in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but they also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at noon; many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.
The explanation for these differences is complicated. People from Brazilian and North American cultures have different feelings about lateness. In Brazil, the students believe that a person who usually arrives late is probably more successful than a person who is always on time. In fact, Brazilians expect a person with status or prestige to arrive late, while in the United States lateness is usually considered to be rude and unacceptable. Consequently, if a Brazilian is late for an appointment with a North American, the American may misunderstand the reason for the lateness and become angry.
56．It can be inferred that that the Brazilian students were late for their first class made the American professor_________.
A. curious B. disappointed C. discouraged D. less confident
57．All the Brazilian students arrived late for the first class of the American professor because_________.
A. they didn’t like the American professor
B. they thought the professor’s class was informal
C. they considered it appropriate to go to class late
D. they felt it rude to the teacher to come to class too early
58．Which of the following statements does the text lead us NOT to believe?
A. The professor misunderstood the reason for the lateness at first.
B. The professor changed the Brazilian students’ behavior eventually.
C. The professor found the Brazilian students and the American students have different attitudes and feelings about the lateness.
D. The professor would adapt his own behavior so that he could feel comfortable.
59．According to the author, the misunderstanding of lateness is causes by __________.
A. different status of the two nations B. different habits of individual students
C. different status of teachers and students D. different cultures of the two nations
B
The human body is a living machine, and like all machines, it needs “fuel” to supply it with energy. This is provided by the food we eat. But how much do we need to stay healthy?
The energy value of food is usually measured in calories. A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C. The number of calories people need per day is different, as the chart below shows. Also, the number of calories you use at any moment normally depends on the activity you are in. For example, you need more calories for standing than for sitting, more for running than for walking, and so on
The energy in food is mainly in the form of three kinds of chemical materials—carbohydrate, protein and fat. Carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal/gm(calories per gram) of energy, protein 4.0 Cal/gm, and fat 8.8 Cal/gm. Each food contains different amounts of these materials, as the second chart Shows.
Chart I
| CALORIES NEEDED PER DAY | |
| BABY | 750 |
| OFFICE WORKER | 2700 |
| CHILD AGED 8 | 2100 |
| WOMAN FEEDING BABY | 2700 |
| MAN OVER 70 | 2100 |
| BOY AGED 16 | 3000 |
| WOMAN | 3600 |
| FARMER | 2600 |
Chart II
| FAT | PROTEIN | CARBOHYDRATE | |
| MILK | 30﹪ | 30﹪ | 40﹪ |
| RlCE | 5﹪ | 10﹪ | 85﹪ |
| PEANUTS | 60﹪ | 30﹪ | 10﹪ |
60. ______ calories are required to raise the temperature of 5kg of water form 35°C to 90°C ?
A. 55 B. 175 C. 325 D. 275
61. If you lack for calories to support your running activities you’d better take more _______.
A. milk B. peanuts C. rice D. milk and rice
62. We may learn form the charts that _______.
A. a child aged 8 requires more than 3 times the amount of calories that a baby does
B. a boy aged 16 requires nearly twice the amount of calories that a boy aged 8 does
C. a mother with a baby to feed uses up more calories than a hard-working farmer each day
D. an old man needs less calories than an 8-year-old boy on account of his less movement
63. Which statement agrees with the passage and the charts above?
A. You need more calories for swimming than for mountain climbing.
B. Food contains energy in the form of carbohydrates, proteins and fuel.
C. Different people need different amounts of energy depending on their age, sex, and the activities they are in.
D. 3 grams of milk provides 16.6 calories because carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal/gm, protein 4.0 Cal/gm, and fat 8.8 Cal/gm.
C
I know I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else.
——Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe’s career as an actress was only 16 years. She made 29 films, 24 in the first 8 years of her career.
Born as Norma Jeanne Mortenson on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles General Hospital, her mother, Gladys, listed the father’s name as unknown. Marilyn would never know the true identity of her father. On July 23, 1946 she signed a contract with Twentieth Century-Fox Studios. She selected her mother’s family name of Monroe. From this point on she would be known as Marilyn Monroe to all her fans.
Her first serious acting job came in 1950 when she had a small but important role in “The Asphalt Jungle” and received favorable reviews. “Clash By Night” in 1952 earned her several notices… Alton Cook of the New York World-Telegram and Sun wrote “… a forceful actress, a gifted new star, worthy of all the fantasy of the press. Her role here is not very big, but she makes it dominant.” Monroe’s first leading part in a serious feature was to be in “Don’t Bother to Knock”, also filmed in 1952.
Also in 1952 Marilyn began filming “Niagara”. This film established her stardom. After her next big film, “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”, she signed her name and placed her hands and feet in the wet cement in front of the Chinese theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, where she had visited years earlier as a child.
In Monroe’s life, Arthur Miller had a great effect on her. To Monroe, Miller represented the serious theatre and a wisdom that she found attractive. To Miller, years after, he said, “It was wonderful to be around her, she was simply overwhelming. She had so much promise. It seemed to me that she could really be a great kind of phenomenon, a terrific artist. She was endlessly fascinating, full of original observations… there wasn’t a traditional bone in her body.”
Monroe’s health had been getting worse due to increased dependency on drugs and an unhappy marriage. She often came to the set late and was unable to remember her lines.
Monroe died on August 5, 1960, at the age of 36.
64. From this passage we know .
A. Marilyn Monroe selected her family name for herself
B. Marilyn’s mother named Monroe in hospital
C. Arthur Miller selected the name for Marilyn Monroe
D. Marilyn Monroe was named after her father
65. It was in 1952 that Marilyn Monroe .
A. signed a contract with Twentieth Century-Fox Studios
B. gradually attracted the public’s attention by her acting job
C. began to play a leading role in the film called Clash By Night
D. turned 36
66. Arthur Miller said there wasn’t a traditional bone in Monroe’s body probably because .
A. she was a great beauty
B. she was a gifted actress and the characters she made brought people fresh and creative feelings
C. she belonged to the public and the world
D. she achieved a lot in her short acting career
67. It can be concluded from the passage that .
A. Monroe’s health had been in bad condition since she was born
B. Monroe began to pick up an acting job at the age of 16
C. Monroe died very young because of her unhappy marriage
D. Monroe’s acting fame was founded very quickly
D
With more than 100 shows and $65 million in prize money, Reality TV has become America’s and Australia’s fast track to fame, wealth and even true love. But if you want a piece of the action you’ll need perseverance, nerves of steel and plenty of time on your hands.
“Most people think it is just really easy to get on these shows and at this point almost everyone knows someone who has been on Reality TV. It is much less accessible than people think.” Said Matthew Robinson, the author of How to Get on Reality TV.
Anywhere from 25,000 to 50,000 Americans seek their 15 minutes of fame by applying to audition(参加选拔) every season for shows such as Survivor, Fear Factor and The Bachelor. American Idol is by far the toughest on which to land a spot, with more than 100,000 aspiring contestants（竞争者）.
Robinson, a Hollywood screen writer and self-confessed reality junkie(有瘾的人), tells wannables(想成为名人的人) how to survive auditions and what casting directors are looking for. He passes on some good advice from past contestants who have been there, eaten that-and mostly wished they hadn’t. “Almost all of them regret it, with the exception of everybody on Amazing Race, all of whom loved it,” Robison said. “The Bachelor people I spoke to said they totally regretted it and ended up looking like idiots. The experience of being on these shows is both pretty painful and unforgettable. I feel for a lot of the people who come out of it totally shell-shocked.”
Although the enthusiasm has gone off reality television for US networks, which are offering more scripted drama this season, Robison said most reality shows saw a 20 to 30 percent increase in the number of would-be contestants. Robinson believes Reality TV is here to stay.
“I don’t think it’s a fad(短暂的时尚). It’s a matter of cost. You can do an entire season of the Bachelor for the same cost as one episode of ER,” Robison said. “Reality TV makes good economic sense. And, perhaps more important, these shows are just plain entertaining.”
68. The subject discussed in the text is .
A. Robison’s Reality TV B. the book How to Get on Reality TV
C. American fashion D. TV entertainment programs in U.S.
69. Almost all who have been on Reality TV regret it but the number of would-be contestants is increasing by 20 to 30 percent because .
A. they have followed Robinson’s expert advice
B. getting on the shows is one possible way to make themselves known to people
C. it’s more accessible to be successful on the shows
D. the shows are more challenging
70. According to the text, we know Robison’s attitude towards Reality TV is that .
A. he has shown great interest in it
B. he thinks Reality TV will disappear soon
C. he considers Reality TV represents the American fashion
D. he holds the idea that Reality TV should not have made much money
71. We can see from this text that there is an opponent to Reality TV called .
A. American Idol B. Survivor C. scripted drama D. The Bachelor

Dear Editor,
The 29th Olympic Games will be held in Beijing in 2008. Recently our class have had a discussion about its effects on Beijing.
Some students believe there are many good effects. They think the Olympics will encourage people in Beijing to learn English harder, help more people find jobs, prosper tourism and make Beijing more beautiful. Besides it will make China better known to the world. The others think the Olympics will also bring some trouble. For example, at that time, the traffic will be heavier and the environment will be destroyed. Furthermore, holding the Olympic Games will also cause more pollution and waste resources.
As a saying goes, a coin has two sides. So I think the Olympics have both good and bad effects. And it is certain that our government will do something to avoid the bad. What is more, our competitors will do better in the 2008 Olympic Games.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
