第三部分阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life—and—death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit(追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people , I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: ”I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly , this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.
56. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Competition helps to set up self-respect
B. Opinions about competition are different among people
C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development
D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition
57. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A. It pushes society forward
B. It builds up a sense of duty
C. It improves personal abilities
D. It encourages individual efforts
58. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means_________.
A. those who try their best to win
B. those who value competition most highly
C. those who are against competition most strongly
D. those who rely on others most for success
59. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?
A. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others’
B. One’s success in competition needs great efforts
C. One’s achievement is determined by his p articular skills
D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried
60. Which point of view may the author agree to?
A. Every effort should be paid back
B. Competition should be encouraged
C. Winning should be a life—and—death matter
D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition
B
When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
My mother has long realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on the phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker(股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.”
And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he doesn’t send me check, already two weeks late.”
And then, in perfect English I said, “I’m getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”
Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.”And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuses. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I’m going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”
The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to her boss in her broken English.
When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.
61.Why was the author’s mother poorly served?
A. She was unable to speak good English
B. She was often misunderstood
C. She was not clearly heard
D. She was not very polite
62. From paragraph 2, we know that the author was _________.
A. good at pretending
B. rude to the stockbroker
C. ready to help her mother
D. unwilling to phone for her mother
63. After the author made the phone call, __________.
A. they forgave the stockbroker
B. they failed to get the check
C. they went to New York the next day
D. they spoke to their boss at once
64. What does the author think of her mother’s English now?
A. It confuses her
B. It embarrasses her
C. It helps her understand the world
D. It helps her tolerate rude people
65. We can infer from the passage that Chinese English___________.
A. is clear and natural to non-native speakers
B. is vivid and direct to non-native speakers
C. has a very bad reputation in America
D. may bring inconvenience in America
C
Muzak
The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? ____66______ It’s similar to the music you listen to, but it’s not exactly the same. That’s because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don’t even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.
Quiet background music used to be called “elevator music”because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name “Muzak”. About one-third of the people in America listen to “Muzak” every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. ____67______
If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don’t want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen, Why?____68____ Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background.____69_____Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.
_____70____They say it’s boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!
A. Some people don’t like Muzak.
B. The music gives them extra energy.
C. Music is playing in the background.
D. Factory workers produce 13 percent more.
E. Muzak tends to help people understand music better.
F. Because they get as much as 4 million dollars a year if their songs are used.
G. Muzak is played in most of the bit supermarkets in the world.
