Part III. Reading Comprehension
Passage 1
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? .... When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends--or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words.
Suppose someone tells you, "you're a lucky dog". Is he really on your side? If he says, "You're a lucky guy" or "You're a lucky gal", that's being friendly. But "lucky dog"? There's a bit
of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture (体态)? The look in his eyes？Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
我们在任何年纪都会犯错误.有些错误是与钱有关的.而大多数是与人有关的。

“当我真得与海伦分手,杰瑞真得关心吗?”.. “当我获得好工作时,作为朋友，杰瑞真的为我开心吗?或者他是嫉妒我呢?”当我们回首过去,这些疑问令我们不安。

但是当我们回首时，已经太迟了。

为什么对于我们的朋友---或者我们的敌人我们会弄错呢？有时人们所说的隐藏了他们的真实感情。

如果我们不用心听，我们就会错过话语的真实感情。

假设有人说，你是个幸运儿。

他是出自真心真意吗？如果他说，“你是个幸运的家伙”，那么是发自内心的。

在这些词语里，幸运儿有妒嫉的含义，可能说话的人自己没有意识到。

但是“dog”这个词放在词语里，就把你贬低了。

他可能想表达的是他认为你不应得到如此好的运气。

如何来判断对方话语的真正感情呢？方法是要注视着对方，判断他的话与表情是否一致？与语调是否一致？还有体态？眼神？好好琢磨琢磨！花时间考虑对方说话的真正感情也许可以避免再犯错误。

31. From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker _______
根据第一段的问题我们知道作者觉得他可能没有真正的了解朋友的真实感情。

A. feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him
B. feels he may not have "read" his friends' true feelings correctly
C. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend, Helen
D. is sorry that his friends let him down
32. In the second paragraph, the author uses the example of "You're a lucky dog" to show that _______.第二段，作者使用了例子“你是个幸运儿”来表达
A. the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly
B. this saying means the same as "You're a lucky guy" or "You're a lucky gal"
C. sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words
有时对方说的话就提供了他们真实的感情。

D. the word "dog" shouldn't be used to apply to people
33. This passage tries to tell you how to _______

Passage 2（12月统考已考）
Why was Bastille important to the citizens of Paris? The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Charles V. By the seventeenth century it had stopped to be important for defense. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastille's workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in closed vehicles. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever. Only the King's letter could set him free.
为什么巴士底狱对巴黎的市民如此重要？它在1370年查尔斯五世时期建造的。

在17世纪以前，它一直是重要的国防。

Richelieu大主教把它变成了监狱。

它不是惩罚普通罪行的普通监狱。

它只关国王的敌人。

巴士底狱的运行是秘密的。

犯人关在密闭的车里带进来。

而且守
卫必须面朝墙壁。

不允许说话。

最糟糕的是，犯人永远不知道将被关多久。

只有国王的亲笔信才能释放犯人。

Over the years the number of arrests by King's letter had become fewer. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions ( 贪污腐败) of the government. Voltaire, the famous French writer, spent a year there in 1717 ~1718, and another 12 days in 1726.
由国王签发的逮捕越来越少。

到它被攻陷的时候，里面多数的犯人是写了反对政府贪污文章的作家。

法国著名作家伏尔泰，1717-1718年在巴士底狱呆了一年，接着在1726年又关了12天。

For those who believed in free speech and free thinking, the Bastille stood for everything evil. The day it was captured, only seven prisoners were found inside. Still, the Bastille was hated by the people. It was a symbol of the King's complete power.
对那些崇尚言论自由，思想自由的人来说，巴士底狱代表着邪恶。

它被攻陷时，里面只有7个犯人。

但是，巴士底狱还是遭人们的唾弃。

它是国王绝对权利的象征。

36. The Bastille had been a prison _______

A. since the time of Charles V
B. since 1370
C. before the seventeenth century

Passage 3
Almost every family buys as least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?
每天几乎每个家庭都至少买一份报纸。

一些人甚至订2到3份不同的报纸。

但是为什么人要看报纸呢？
Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings--battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown (推翻) or killed--took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.
五百年钱，重大事件，如战争的输赢，国王被废或被杀等，需要好几个月甚至是好几才能传到另外的国家。

口头传述的消息永远是不准确的。

通过报纸，现在我们可以看到当天发生在遥远国度发生的事情。

Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from
advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.
除了提供全世界的新闻以外，报纸还为我们提供了其它有用的信息。

有天气预报，收视指南，书评，故事，当然还有广告。

大公司总是用很大的产品广告来吸引读者。

他们要用几千美元来付广告版面，但是物有所值，因为他们的产品广告随着报纸已经进入了千家万户。

对生产报纸的人来说，广告是很重要的。

广告费使他们能够以低价出售报纸，但是还能够赢利。
