第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Today it seems perfectly natural for us to shake hands when we greet someone or say goodbye. But like so many things that we do without thinking such actions at one time probably represented something.
For example, in primitive(原始的) life the hand was used to fight enemies,
kill animals, and make spears and tools. So when the hand was extended to someone, it showed that the person was not armed or ready for fight.
We know that the hand was an important symbol in early religion, probably
as a mark of power. The Greeks prayed to their gods with raised hands. Presenting the hands palm to palm was at one time the way an inferior(身份
低的) person paid respect to a superior(身份高的) one.
Among the Arabs, it was customary at one time to kiss the hand of a superior. Later on, polite Arabs began to resist the efforts of people to kiss their hands, and sometimes they would end up shaking hands as each tried to prevent
the other from showing this mark of “inferiority(下级).”
The early Greeks held out the right hand when they wished to show friendship to a stranger. So we can see that the hand, and what was done with it, was full of meaning to people down through the ages. And while we shake hands without thinking, we are really carrying on a custom that has been handed down to us from ancient times.
56. The second paragraph tells us __________.
A. the handshake didn’t mean greeting
B. what hands were used to do in primitive life
C. the handshake showed men’s kindness
D. the handshake showed nothing
57. Among the Arabs, at one time,_________.
A. people kissed each other whenever they met
B. men kissed the women whenever they met
C. less important person kissed more important person’s hand
D. more important person kissed less important person’s hand
58. The phrase “ hand down” in the last sentence means ________.
A. put down
B. leave down
C. give down
D. pass down
B
For many years Henry had been a journalist. He had worked on many international newspapers and magazines and traveled all over the world. Henry had witnessed wars and natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and erupting volcanoes (火山爆发) .
He had reported on serious accidents such as major fires and airline crashes.
He had seen every kind of terrible crime and strange event there was.
He had met and written about some of the most unusual people in the world.
In fact, there wasn’t much that Henry had not seen or done.

One day he was sitting at the bar in his restaurant when a big gorilla walked in and asked for a table.

I stood without moving, the door closed behind me, the walls hard and silent on both sides and him in front of me, looking into my face. His empty eyes grew a smile when he realized he would soon have all the money in my wallet.
Looking downwards at his hands, I saw him take out a sharp, silvery object. Then in soft, low voice he said, “Come over here.” Although I felt a wetness collect on my forehead, a collapsing of feeling in my stomach like a balloon losing air and a shiver(颤抖) of fear in my legs, by now it was impossible to escape , so I fell into a chair beside him.

When I opened my e-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm（热情）. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother, and a lot of it was about the trouble he had getting the phone company to give him a high-speed Internet connection. It was pretty cool.
Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. An ace man lets you send an e-mail that gets ready to the recipient（收件人）by an attractive male or female from or by a clown（小丑）. The software, which is
free, can be downloaded at .
Facemail faces are lifelike, and they simulate（模拟）emotions based on emotions-for example, that you put in your text. Type in; -x, and Rachel blows a kiss.
Life Fx, the company that develops the Facemail, is sure there are broad business uses. The reason e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michel Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? And it is talking with Whirlpool（惠而浦公司）about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Mom can’t be home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat. Facemail could get hot fast. Personally, I’m a fa n. But Facemail should be used with care. The clown looks lively and funny at first.

A. his brother’s girl friend
B. not a real person
C. the picture of his pen friend
D. a woman working on the Internet
68.The main advantage（优点）of Facemail is that .
A. you can see the person who sends you the email
B. you can put your own emotions in the email
C. e-mail can be read in a more lovely way
D. you can hire a beautiful woman to read the email to you
69.We can infer from the passage that Facemail .
A. can destroy your e-mail if not properly used
B. can be downloaded free of charge（费用）s
C. will take the place of the e-mail system
D. is likely to be used in other aspects（方面）of our daily life
70.The writer mentioned Nike website and Micheal Jordan to show that .
A. Facemail can make shopping on the Internet more interesting
B. Nike company is increasing its sales through the fame of Jordan

Many musicians begin studying an instrument at an early age. They may gain valuable experience by playing it in a school party or with friends. Musicians and singers continually make great efforts to improve themselves ---- exploring different styles of music.. Formal training may be received through studying music programs with a skilled teacher in a college or university.
Musicians must be knowledgeable about many musical styles but finally find the one that interests them most. Having many interests and skills can help enlarge employment opportunities and musical ability.
Young students considering careers in music should have talent(天才,才华), creativity, and a good stage presence(风度). Quality performance requires long-time study and practice, so self-discipline(自律) is quite important. To keep up a career as a musician, performers must achieve a high level of performance. Moreover, musicians who play in concerts or in nightclubs and those who tour must have physical energy to travel and play long performances. Because musicians must always make their performances look effortless, preparation and practice are important. Musicians must also be prepared to face the anxiety of discontinuous employment.
Advancement for musicians usually means becoming better known, finding work more easily and performing for more money. Successful musicians often depend on agents to find them opportunities to perform, and develop their careers.
