题型:不详难度:来源:
The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments—outside the jeweler’s before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewellery and was a little worried about over-spending. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. When, half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the one she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied. James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted. 52. A good title for this passage is________. A. A Clever Assistant B.

Twenty–six years after a terrible bicycle accident which left her in a coma(昏迷) for two months and with permanent brain injuries, Barbara Buchan performs many actions more slowly than others. But on September 10 in Beijing, Buchan, at 52, the oldest member of the United States Paralympic team, broke the record and won the gold medal for her disability class in the individual 3,000–meter cycling pursuit. “You can be very upset at the world and have everyone take care of you.” Buchan said by telephone from Beijing, “or get back on your feet again.” Buchan first dreamed of Olympic gold at age 15 while watching the 1972 Munich Games. She became a top American cyclist by July 1982, when a terrible road–race crash injured her brain and left doctors doubtful about whether she would survive. She was wearing only a soft leather helmet at the time; her accident made the rule put into practice that cyclists wear the hard–shell helmets that are now common. Buchan recovered enough of her athletic ability to run track in the 1988 Paralympics in Seoul, where she won a silver medal in the 800 meters. Women’s cycling was not included in the Paralympics yet, so Buchan trained to the point where she raced against men in the 2000 Paralympics in Sydney, Australia-she finished 9th and 10th in two races-and then successfully fought for a separate women’s cycling program beginning in 2004 in Athens, where she did not get a medal. Even though she was approaching her 50s, Buchan kept racing and again made the United States Paralympic team for Beijing-where she is twice the age of most of her teammates and competitors. “Barbara’s almost the leader of our team-she’s been through it all,” said Craig Griffin, the United States cycling coach. “She’s never tired. She’s never let her body go and then come back. I don’t think age is as big of a deal as people make it out to be.” 64. According to the text, after the accident, . A.Buchan asked her friends to take care of her B.cyclists started to wear helmets in competition C.Buchan could not answer questions correctly D.doctors doubted whether Buchan could come back to life 65. What’s the right order of the events related to Buchan? a. She won a gold medal in Beijing. b. She became a top American cyclist. c. She won a silver medal in the 800 meters. d. She suffered a terrible bicycle accident. e. She took part in a cycling program in Athens. A.c-d-b-a-e B.b-c-d-a-e C.b-d-e-c-a D.c-b-d-e-a 66. What does the underlined phrase “get back on your feet” in the second paragraph mean? A.rise to your feet B.walk on your way C.go beyond yourself D.depend on yourself 67. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A.The Making of a Hero B.From a Loser to a Winner C.All Roads Lead to Rome D.Health is Better than Wealth |

第三部分:阅读理解(共16小题;每小题1.5分,满分24分) 阅读下列短文,然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 You’ve no doubt heard people say how much they “need” a holiday, when what they really mean is that they want one. Certainly, people working under pressure feel a very strong desire to escape from work and become less tight during holidays, and experience a changed environment. However, work for many people today is office work and mental, rather than physical tasks. These people may seek much more energy-taking activities while on holiday, rather than simply lying on a beach. Once people become used to going on holiday, taking holidays becomes a habit. For many people the holiday is one of the last things to be given up, and indeed many workers have chosen to spend some of their last pay when being on holiday. It may give them a “lift” in facing some difficulties in life. Most of us also enjoy showing off the lovely tans --- dark skins we get from a holiday. So many tourists are now able to afford holidays in the sun that tans have become quite common; although we join a tan together with health, it has been fully shown that too much sunshine will result in high danger of skin problems, as well as drying out one’s skin and leading to more lines on your face later in life. 56.According to the passage above, more and more people choose to have holidays because they __________. A. love working outdoors all the time B. want to get away from work C. love enjoying the beauties of nature D. become rich and want a better life 57. When office people have holidays, they often _________ . A. lie on the beach and enjoy sunshine B. spend more than they can afford C. think about their work on the beach D. choose to do more physical exercise 58 The word “lift” in the last sentence of the third paragraph may _______ A. cheer someone up B. help someone find a job C. be the last thing not to be given up D. bring good luck to someone 59 At the end of the passage the writer tries to tell the reader _________. A. the importance of getting sunshine B. the bad effect of being on holiday C. the result of getting sun tanned D. the healthy look of being tanned |
