第四节：阅读理解（20小题，每小题2分；共计40分）
A
Around the world young people are spending unbelievable sums of money to listen to rock music. Forbes Magazine reports that at least fifty rock stars have incomes between two million and six million dollars every year.
"It doesn't make sense. "says Johnny Mathis, one of the older music millionaires, who made a million dollars a year when he was popular, in 1950s."Performers aren't worth this kind of money. In fact, nobody is."
But the rock stars' admirers seem to disagree. Those who love rock music spend about two billion dollars a year for records. They pay 150 million to see rock stars in person.
Luck is a key word for explaining the success of many. In 1972 one of the luckiest was Kon Mclean, who wrote and sang "American Pie". Mclean writes his own music, so he earns an extra two cents on every single record of the song.
Neil Young who performs in torn blue jeans, sometimes sings to an audience of 10,000, each of whom has paid five dollars for a ticket. After paying expense, Young leaves with about
18,000 in his blue jeans at the end of an evening.
How do the rock stars use their money？ What do they do when the money stars pouring in like water？ Most of the young stars simply show the money around. England's Elton John gave someone a ＄38,000 Rolls Royce car and bought himself 5,000 pairs of eyeglasses then lighted up and spelt E-L-T-O-N. He also bought himself two cars, "one for each foot."
Many rock stars live like Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane. Those performers return from a tour, pay their bills, and buy new toys. Then when they need money again, they do another tour. They save no money and live from hand to mouth.
After two or three years riches and fame（名声） are gone. Left with his memories and his tax problems, the lonely ex-performer spends his remaining years trying to attract strangers. But new stars have arrived to take his place.
56. This passage is mainly about _____.
A. the success of a rock star
B. the way rock stars live
C. rich rock stars
D. the admirers of rock stars
57. What makes most of the rock stars successful in making money？

B. ＄18,000.

Tourism probably started in Roman times. Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman empire. But when the empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped.
In the early 17th century, the idea of the “Grand Tour” was born. Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel （英吉利海峡）. They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice （威尼斯）in Italy. Their tours lasted for two to four years, and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city. The “Grand Tour” was an important part of young people’s education --- but only for the rich.
In the 18th century, tourism began to change. For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns, such as Bath to “take the waters”. They believed that the water there was good for their health. So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns.
In the 19th century, travel became much more popular and faster. When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between towns, so they started to go for holidays by the sea. And some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger , noisier and dirtier.
Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built. People began to travel more to far away countries.
The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people. Planes were made larger, so ticket prices dropped and more people used them.
Thus tourism grew. In 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called
Horizon Holidays. The company organizes everything --- plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food --- and tourists pay for it all before they leave home. The package tour and modern tourist industry was born.
The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949. But tourism did not take off until 1978. In 2002, the industry was worth 500 billion yuan and became an important part of China’s social development.
60. In the early times, the travelers ______________.
A. all came from Roman
B. were very young and strong
C. had lots of money
D. traveled by boat.
61. __________ played the most important role in the tourism development.
A. Education
B. Money
C. Transportation
D. People’s ideas
62. Modern tourism was born _______________ .
A. in 1949
B. in Roman times
C. in the early 17th century
D. in the 19th century
63. The underlined phrase “take off” means ___________ .
A. a plane rising into the air
B. develop very fast
C. remove hats and clothes
D. bring down the prices
C
In the 1930s, a lot of people in the USA were out of work. Among these people was a man named Alfred Butts. He always had an interest in word games and so, to fill his time, he planned a game which he called 'Lexico'. However, he was not completely pleased with the game, so he made a number of changes to it and, in time, changed its name from 'Lexico' to 'Alph' and then
to 'Criss Cross'. He waned to make some money from his new game but he didn't have any real commercial（商业性的） success.
In 1939, Butts happened to meet a man named Jim Brunot who showed an interest in the new game. The two men worked together on developing the game and in 1948 it was offered for sale in the United States under its new name --- 'Scrabble'.
At first, it didn't sell very well. In the first year it sold just 2,250 sets and by 1951 it had only reached 8,500 sets a year.
Then , in 1952, the manager of Macy's department store in New York, Jack Strauss , happened to play 'Scrabble' while he was on holiday. He thought it was a wonderful game and, when he went back to work after his holiday, he insisted that Macy's should stock（储备） the game and make an effort to call the public's attention to it.
As a result, 'Scrabble' became a big success in the United States and it soon spread to Australia and then to other English-speaking countries.
64. The text is mainly about _____.
A. 'Lexico'
B. three men
C. a word game
D. Alfred Butts
65. Alfred Butts invented the game 'Lexico' _____.
A. to make himself famous

C. when he was out of work and looking for a job
D. when he was playing word games to pass the time
66. Who made 'Scrabble' popular？
A. Alfred Butts .
B. Jack Strauss .
C. Alfred Butts and Jim Brunot.
D. Jack Strauss and 'Jim Brunot.
67. When did Alfred Butts first put his game on the market？
A. In 1939.
B. In 1948.
C. Before 1939.
D. Between 1939 and 1948.

The Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Willson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.
Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The world’s first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum’s most popular display was the skeleton （骷髅） of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.
Three of Peale’s seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits.
James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures （小画像）. His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.
68. What is the main topic of the passage？
A. The life of Charles Willson Peale.
B. Portraits in the 18th century.
C. The Peale Museum.
D. A family of artists.
69. The author mentions in Paragraph 1 that Washington tipped his hat to the figures in the painting to show that ________.

Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients（contents） on the back. Third, compare prices：that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because
producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage：knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions：Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page？Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image？ With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.
72. All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 except ____.
A. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
B. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands
C. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items
D. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands
73. What does the writer think about ads？
A. They are believable.
B. They are attractive.
C. They are full of misinformation.
D. They are helpful to consumers.
74. One of the author’s suggestions to consumers is ____.
A. to make use of ads
B. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch
D. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands
75. The author implies that ____.
A. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy more than you plan to
B. the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively low
C. discount clothing stores are good places to go to
D. ads sometimes don’t tell the truth

Good afternoon, everyone.
On the morning of April 29, 2007, from 10:00 to 11:00, hundreds of millions of students from primary, middle schools and universities all over China joined in a national student sports program. Eleven million students in Liaoning took an active part in this program.
The Ministry of Education calls on students to exercise for an hour every day, in the hope that they will have good health to work fifty years and enjoy the whole life.
Personally, I think it a good idea for us senior 3 students to have daily exercise. Although
we take an hour a day for exercise, it is well worth it. Taking exercise helps us build up our body and keep a clear mind. Therefore, we can work more efficiently.
Thank you!。
