第三局部阅读理解〔一共20小题；每一小题2分，满分是40分〕
阅读以下短文，从每一小题中所给的四个选项〔A、B、C、D〕中，选出最正确选项，并在答题卡上涂黑
A
Life is difficult.
It is a great truth because once truly understand and accept it. Then life is no longer difficult.
Most do not see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent(代表) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or, loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problem, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said: ‘Those things that hurt, instruct.’It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
56. From the passage, it can be inferred that_____.
A.Everybody has problems
B.We become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life
C.Life is difficult because our problems bring us pain
D.People like to complain about their problems
57. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _____.
A. save space
B. persuade readers
C. make readers laugh
D. get reader’s attention
58. The main idea of paragraph three is that_____.
A. most people feel life is easy.
B. the writer feels life is easy
C. the writer likes to complain about his problems
D. most people complain about how hard lives are
59. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ____.
A encourage them to learn
B teaching them to fear the pain of solving the problem
C help them to deal with pain
D teach them how to respect from problems
60. The saying from Benjamin Franklin ‘Those things that hurt, instruct’suggest that_____.
A we do not learn from experience
B we do not learn when we are pain
C pain teaches us important lessons
D pain cannot be avoided
B
As prices and building costs keep rising, the ‘do-it-yourself’(DIY) trend in the US continues to grow.
‘We needed furniture for our living room,’ says John Rose, ‘and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.’John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling too make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rose took a 2-week course for 280$ at a high school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around their house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe-making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for 420$. ‘I was deeply upset about it. Now I have finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.’
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most family in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a ‘do-it-yourself’, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.

These days, experiences, like many other things, are becoming increasingly expensive. One has to pay a lot for them, even an ordinary one. Not long ago, I wanted to invite my friends to lunch. What we really need was a good and quiet place so that we could talk, not a big meal. So I selected one club. I belong to that club, too. What could be nicer? ‘let’s go to the club.’ I told my friend. When I ordered a day in advance, was asked whether I would have 20 yuan or 30 yuan lunch. I said, ’30 yuan.’ I didn’t realize until I was asked to pay after
lunch that 30 yuan was for each person. There were five people that day, and all of us were surprised by the quality of 30 yuan meal( for all, we thought). The bill came at last, it was 216.40 yuan( 150 for the five of us plus the money for drinks, fruit and air-conditioning), I paid the bill without a world.
What could I say? It was not the club’s fault. It was my own ignorance(无知) that made me pay the largest bill in my life. On the whole, it was not so bad, we had a good lunch at a quiet place. Besides, this experience will help in other years. To support my idea, I have developed my own calculation 30 yuan for the lunch and 186.40 for the experience. The experience has made me ten times wiser.

B. are not so experiential
C. as expensive as before
D. more expensive

C. a club
D. more experience
68. I thought that I had ordered a meal that cost_____.
A. me 20 yuan
B. me 30 yuan
C. us 20 yuan each D us 30 yuan each
69. What do you think makes the writer pay the largest bill in his life?
A. his fault.
B. his mistake.
C. The club’s trick.
D. the club’s mistake
70. ‘ The experience has made me ten times wiser.’ Express_____>
A. His thanks to the club

India—‘Run away!’ her husband called out from a rooftop after he discovered the great
waves. The order was simple but it made Sangeeta feel difficult: She had three sons, and only two arms. She caught the youngest two and ran—thinking the oldest, 7-years-old Dinakaran, had the best chance of out running the tsunami(海啸)coming towards her home.
But Dinakaran didn’t follow. He headed for the safest place he knew, the small family hut just 40 metres from the seashore.
While water came to Sangeeta’s feet as she rushed up the hill, the yellow dog named Selvakumar ducked into the hut after Dinakaran. He tried his hardest to get the boy to the hill.
Sangeeta thought she would never see him again. Once she had crossed the main road to safety she cried over the loss of her eldest son. ‘I had heard from others that the wall of my house had collapsed(坍塌),. I felt sure that my child had died,’ said the 24-year-old mother.
‘he is somewhat older than the other two. I knew he would be able to run, so I took the other two,’ Sangeeta explained.
Dinakaran credited(认为) the dog saved his life. ‘That dog caught me by collar of my shirt,’the boy said from under some trees at Pondicherrry University, where the family is waiting for relief(救济), ‘He pulled me out.’
Sangeeta said she swept(流泪)with joy when she saw her son walking up to her, with Selvakumar by his side.
71. Where did the family live?
A In a big city B. In a lonely house in this area C. just by the sea. D. Near a university
72. How did Dinakaran survive the tsunami?
A. His mother carried him to safety.
B. He was saved by his dog..
C. He outran the great waves.
D. His father helped him.
73. Which of the following statements is true according to this passage??
A. The tsunami was caused by storms.
B. Dinakaran’s mother always believed that her eldest son was safe.
C. The hut was the safest place.
D. Dinakaran owed all his thanks to Selvakumar.
74. The word ‘escort’ in the fifth paragraph probably means____.
75. The best title for this passage may be____.
A. The Tsunami Caused Many Deaths
B. Family Dog Save Boys from Waves
C. The Cleverest Boy
D. The Difficult Choice for the Mother
