Listening to the rhythm of the rain, I feel peaceful in my heart. This feeling makes me think a lot about life.

三、阅读理解阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容选出最正确选项。

〔本大题共20分，每题2分〕
A
Many Chinese people who have been to the United States think that Americans pay a little part of their money for food each day. Yet, in the latest 13 years, food prices have gone up 30% for most American families. Everyone agrees that the cost of feeding a family has risen sharply. But who is really responsible〔有责任的〕?
Many people say the farmers who produce the veg etables, fruit, meat, and eggs are responsible. But farmers say that the rise in food prices is very small compared to (和…相比) the rise in their cost of living. Farmers think middlemen〔中间人〕have got much more money than they do. Middlemen are those people who stand between the farmers and the people who buy and eat the food. For example, truck drivers, owners of food stores and so on. Are middlemen really responsible for higher food prices?
Economists〔经济学家〕don’t think so. They have found that the money that meat packer s 〔包装商〕and food stores get is less than 1% in all. They say that food costs more now because modern housewives have jobs outside the home. They have less time for cooking after a day’s work. They like to buy food which has already been prepared before it reaches the market. They want to buy many kinds of food that can be put on their dining tables easily and quickly. But of course they must be prepared to pay for the services of those who make their work easier.
It seems that the answer to the question of rising prices is not an easy one. Quite a number of people share the responsibility for the sharp rise in food costs.
( ) 1. Farmers speak for themselves because _____.
A. the middlemen have had the biggest share of profit〔利润〕
B. the cost of their products have risen sharply too
C. their cost of living has gone up a lot, too
D. they’ve got very little in the rise of food prices
( ) 2. Economists blame (责怪) _____.
A. farmers
B. middlemen
C. housewives
D. storeowners
( ) 3. What’s the writer’s opinion (观点)?
A. He agrees with the economists.
B. He doesn’t think farmers are responsible.
C. He thinks the middlemen might get a lot of profit.
B
( ) 4. If you want to fly to Paris, you should take ___________.
A. Flight 137
B. Flight 320
C. Flight 226
D. Flight 405 ( ) 5. Flight 289 to Hong Kong leaves at ________.
A. 11:43 a.m.
B. 10:12 a.m.
C. 12:32 p.m.
D. 10:30 a.m. ( ) 6. A lady wants to take Flight 12 to Beijing, she should go to Gate ______.
A. 14
B. 15
C. 12
D. 18
C

Greg Mortenson was born in the state of Minnesota and grew up near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Mortenson later became a nurse. He loved to climb K2 in Pakistan, the second highest mountain in the world. One day, he failed to reach the top of K2, and he became
separated from his climbing group on the way down. He was very tired, sick and lost. He had no food, water or shelter(住所).
Mortenson reached a poor village called Korphe in the Karakoram mountains of Pakistan. The villagers had never seen a foreigner before. They provided food and a place for him. Mortenson became friends with the villagers and he wanted to see their school. But they had no school.
He promised(承诺) to return and build a school for the children of the village. This was not easy. He had to return to the United States, ask people for money, buy materials in Pakistan, send them to the village and build the school. But he finally carried out his promise after more than three years. That first school in Korphe was so successful that he decided to continue building schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan. It turned out to be a great act.
Three cups of Tea is about many interesting people Mortenson met and the problems he faced.
I think he is really wonderful. He should be the pride(骄傲) of his country.

a. He built a school for a poor village called Korphe.
b. He became a nurse.
c. He failed to reach the top of the second highest mountain in the worl
d.

〔本大题共5分，每题1分〕
A book which is still being discussed by many Americans today is “Future Shock〞 by Alvin Toffler. In this book the writer describes the great changes which have been made in family life because of science and industry.
In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical(典型的) family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Uncles and aunts often lived nearby, too.
But now, when industry has become more important than agriculture(农业) in American life, families are becoming smaller and smaller. Industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land to move again whenever necessary. Large families can’t be moved from place to place as easily as smaller families can.
In the future, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller .The typical family may keep childless and consist only of a man and a woman. A smaller number of families may raise(养育) children. These families may raise children as their main occupation, leaving the childless families free to move from job to job. What’s more, these child-raising families may raise other people’s children in addition to their own.
