Ⅲ. 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures. The increasingly popular“design museums”that are opening today, however, perform quite a different role. Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall.
People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales—it is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale.
One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do, and how design has improved the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding.
In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public’s growing interest in the field with new ideas. London’s Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life.
36. Showcases in design museums are different from
store windows because they .
A. show more technologically advanced products
B. help increase the sales of products
C. show why the products have sold well
D. attract more people than store windows do
37. The author believes that most design museum
visitors .
A. do not admire mass-produced products
B. are puzzled with technological exhibits
C. dislike exhibits in art museums
D. know the exhibits very well
38. The choices open to design museums .
A. are not as strict as those to art museums
B. are not aimed at interesting the public
C. may fail to bring some pleasure to visitors
D. often contain precious exhibits
39. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. The Forms of Design Museums
B. The Exhibits of Design Museums
C. The Nature of Design Museums
D. The Choices Open to Design Museums
B
The opera house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one of the most beautiful opera houses in the United States. It is small and open, with one roof (屋顶)over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience. This opera house in the mountain is one of the best in the country, which may seem surprising because performances are only given during seven weeks in the summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city.
Every year the Santa Fe Opera attracts many excellent young singers. They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday, and they work hard to become well-known during the summer. The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras and operas in the country for their vacations. They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe, which is near both mountains and desert. It is very beautiful there in summer.
The state government of New Mexico advertises the Sante Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country, and a great many tourists come to New Mexico for the opera. Most of the audience come from Santa Fe and other nearby cities, and all the seats in the theater are sold out for every show.
The only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera is the cold weather. Because the theater is open, performances can not start before it gets dark at nine o’clock in the evening when the mountain air becomes very cool. Sometimes people complain about the cold air, but because the operas are good, these people come back again, wearing warm coats.
40. The underlined word“which”in the first paragraph
refers to .
A. the building of the opera house in Santa Fe
B. the fact that the roof is over part of the audience
C. the fact that this mountain opera house is one of
the best in the country
D. the design of the opera house
41. Which of the following is NOT the characteristic of
the Santa Fe Opera?
A. Small and open.
B. Very crowded and noisy all the year round.
C. Very attractive to audience.
D. In the mountain but very beautiful.
42. From this passage we can infer that the
author .
A. has a good opinion on the opera house
B. dislikes the opera house in the mountain
C. thinks highly of the state government of New
Mexico
D. thinks it surprising that the opera house could
be famous

Paper-cutting is a very special traditional Chinese handicraft. It originated in the 6th century. The ancient people cut paper into animals or people. They either buried them with the dead or burned them at funerals, wishing that the things the paper stood for could be with the dead. Later, they were used during festivals to decorate gates and windows. After hundreds of years of development, they have now become a very popular means of decoration among country folk, especially women.
It is easy to learn how to cut a piece of paper but very difficult to master it to perfection. Beginners need only a knife and paper. For a craftswoman, knives of various types are required to make complicated patterns. It can be one piece of paper or many pieces. Simple patterns can be cut with a knife. For complicated patterns, people first paste the pattern on the paper and then use various kinds of knives to make it. No mistake can be made during the process, otherwise the work will fail.
Paper-cutting covers nearly all topics, from flowers, birds, animals, legendary people, and figures in classic novels to types of facial make-up in Peking Opera. Paper-cutting has various styles in different parts of China.
In the past, women living in the countryside gathered in their free time to make paper-cuttings, which was a way to judge their skills. As society develops, fewer and fewer people are learning this skill though there are some who still regard it as a profession. At present, there are factories and associations for paper-cutting in China. Exhibitions and exchanges are held regularly and books about it are published. Paper-cutting has changed from a decoration to a kind of art. At the same time, paper-cutting also appears in cartoons, on stage, in magazines and in TV series.
47. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Funerals in ancient China.
B. How to make paper-cuttings.
C. A special kind of art form in China.
D. Decoration of festivals in ancient China.
48. Why did the ancient people burn paper animals or
people at funerals?
A. They thought the dead liked the paper-cuttings.
B. They wanted to show respect for the dead.
C. They wanted them to accompany the dead.
D. They wanted the dead to use them as
decorations.
49. If a mistake is made during the process of
paper-cutting, .
A. you have to correct it after you finish the
paper-cutting
B. you can use various kinds of knives to correct it
C. all the work you have done will be wasted
D. it doesn’t affect the work

Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面的短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

When difficult people express themselves orally，they generally want at least two things: they’v e been heard and they’ve been understood. As a good communicator should be a good listener，five steps are advocated toward good listening.
The first step is cooperating（合作）. How does a difficult person know that you’re listening and understanding? In fact，it’s through the way you look and sound while he is talking. You may help him to fully express his thoughts and feelings. You do this by nodding your head in agreement，making certain sounds of understanding.
When the person begins to repeat what’s been said，it’s a signal of step two: turning back. It means that you repeat some words he is using，sending a clear signal that you’re listening carefully and that you think what he is saying is important.
Having heard what he has to say，the next step is clarifying. At this point，you start to gather information about what is being communicated. Ask some open-ended questions，which will allow you to figure out what intention he is hoping to satisfy.
The fourth step is to summarize（概括）what you’ve heard. This allows you to make sure that both you and the difficult person are on the same page. When you do this，two things happen. First，if you’ve missed something，he can fill in the details（细节）. Second，y ou’ ve shown that
you’re making an effort to understand completely. This increases the possibility of gaining cooperation from him.
Having listened carefully，you’ve now arrived at the point of confirming with the person that he feels satisfied that his thoughts have been fully voiced. Ask if he feels understood.
When enough sincere listening，questioning，and remembering are brought together，understanding is usually achieved and a difficult person becomes less difficult and more cooperative.

Christine was just a girl in one of my classes. I never knew much about her except for that she was
strange. She didn’t talk many. Her hair was black and purple, and she worn black sports shoes and a black sweater, although in the summer. She was, in fact, rather attractively, and she never seemed care what the rest of us thought about her. Like the rest of my classmate, I didn’t really want to get closest to her.

可知，一个好的倾听者如果善于倾听别人的意见、能够理解别人，那么他就为不易相处的人开启了“心灵”之门。

因此，第60题填hearts或minds。

选做题：（一）短文改错
第1处：去掉for except for后跟名词、代词或动名词，不跟从句。

except后可跟宾语从句。

第2处：many→much much在此作副词，修饰动词talk。

第3处：worn→wore 此处是一般过去时，wear 的过去式是wore。

worn是过去分词。

第4处：although→even although是连词，引导让步状语从句。

此处应用副词even来加强语气，意为“甚至”。

第5处：attractively→attractive 应用形容词作表语。

第6处：seemed后加to seem to do为固定搭配。

第7处：classmate→classmates 根据句意“我的其他同班同学”可知应用复数形式classmates。

第8处：closest→close 根据上下文可知此处不能用最高级，因为没有对比之意。

get close to sb.
意为“接近某人”。

第9处：their→our 与主语we保持人称一致。

第10处：begin→began 根据整篇文章的时态（一般过去时）可知，此处应用一般过去时。

（二）完成句子
61. would be dull 62. as they were
63. could have happened
64. would have prevented
65. would look like
66. should/would adopt his advice
67. has been spent in
68. had attended the lecture
69. would ruin your reputation/fame
70. went on with
One possible version:
Dear editor,
During the summer vacation I visited some places of interest in Xi’an. A famous old tower built in the Song Dynasty caught my eyes. There are many beautiful pictures on the walls of the tower, which have great artistic value. I am worried about it because some of the pictures are being damaged by some tourists. And air pollution also damages the pictures. Therefore, I suggest we take steps to protect the old tower and the pictures. Firstly, we should fix glass walls in front of the pictures. Secondly, we’d better limit the number of the tourists. Finally, building a website is also a good idea, where people can appreciate the tower and the pictures.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
