三、阅读理解(共10小题：每小题2分，满分20分)
根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选择最佳选项。

A
There is an old saying that all of us are born with two bags hung on our necks. A small bag in front of our chest is filled up with other people's faults (缺点), while the big one at the back is full of our own shortcomings (短处).
So it’s easy to find other people's faults, but it's hard for us to see our faults b ehind us.
There was a boy, Tommy, who always opened the front bag to check what was in it. He saw other people's faults very quickly. When Simon was impatient with him, he said to Simon, "It's so easy for you to get angry. It is hard to be friends with you."
He told his mother about Jack's dishonesty. "Jack takes my things without asking. He also forgets to return them." Tommy himself did not like sharing his things with anyone.
When Johnny was too tired to play with him, he said, "'You are such a rude person."
He thought Harry was too proud of his rich parents. But Tommy was as proud of himself because he could not see any of his own shortcomings! He could not understand why he did not get on well with others.
If only Tommy would switch the bags around, he would discover his own impatience, dishonesty, bad manners and vanity (虚荣), which were no better than that of Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry.
46. Tommy thought it was hard to be friends with Simon because Simon was _________.
A. impatient
B. a rude person
C. dishonest
D. too proud of his rich parents
47. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Tommy was a person liked by others.
B. Tommy liked sharing his things with others.
C. Tommy always discovered his own shortcoming.
D. Maybe Tommy was no better than Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry.
48. In this passage, the writer mainly wanted to tell us ________.
A. to be more patient
B. not to be a person with vanity
C. not to take others' things without asking
D. to pay more attention to our own shortcomings
B
Space travel is nothing new. The first spacecraft with a human was sent up into space in 1961.
Since then, people have not only traveled to space, but many of them have also lived there in space stations for some time.
The Soviet Union(前苏联) sent the first space station into space in 1971. This space station was called Salyut I. Salyut I was designed as a place where people could live while they observed space and did experiments. The first group of astronauts lived there for 23 days. The Soviet Union went on to make seven more Salyut space stations. At about the same time, the United States built its own space station, called Skylab.
Astronauts visited and often lived in these space stations for a short time. However, it wasn’t until the late 1980s when the Soviet Union sent the Mir space station that people began to live in space for a longer time. Mir stayed in space from 1989 until 2001, when it was decided that the space station was too old and no longer safe to live in.
Living in apace stations seems to be fun, but astronauts face many problems. One of them is food. All the meals on space stations are put together on Earth and sent there by space shuttle. Because the food has to last a long time (sometimes up to three months), a lot of it has to be stored in cans. The space station does not have a fridge, but it has a cool room to keep fruit and vegetables fresh. Astronauts also eat many other foods such as dried meat that do not need special care.
Without the help of gravity, sitting down to eat can be tough. Astronauts sometimes have to fix themselves to the wall while eating. They also have to be very careful to that food does not float away.
49.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “observed” in Paragraph
2?
A. Discovered
B. Checked
C. Watched
D. Fixed
50.What can we infer(推断) from the passage?
A.Astronauts can never have a chance to eat fresh food when they live in space stations.
B.The Soviet Union sent a total of 9 space stations into space in the 1970s and 1980s.
C.Astronauts could live in the Mir space station for no more than three weeks.
D.Space travel has quite a long history of more than 60 years.
51.What is the best title of this passage?
A. Exploring Space
B. Space Travel
C. Living in Space
D. Space Stations
C
During the 1800s, African Americans worked long days in the fields of the American South. They sang songs that they had brought from Africa while working. One person sang a line. Then a group of workers repeated it. The song’s words told of the hardships(艰苦) that people suffered. They clapped their hands and stomped(跺) their feet to the music.
In the 1860s, the music changed greatly. African American music took new forms. It was also
influenced by dance music, which had great rhythm(节奏). Banjos(班卓琴) became popular. A blues singer usually sang a line and then played the banjo in reply. By the early 1900s, the guitar had taken the place of the banjo in the blues music.
The blues music has many obvious characteristics. One of them is that the musical notes() are often “bent”. Th at is, they are changed slightly to give a song more strength.
Lyrics are the words of a song. Blues lyrics describe everyday life. The lyrics are often about the relationships between men and women. They tell about sadness and overwork. They tell about finding and losing love, having money or being poor, being happy or sad and lonely. They almost always use the rhythms of everyday speech. A group of blues lyrics usually has three lines. The second line repeats the first line. The third line has different words.
By the 1940s, large numbers of African Americans moved to Chicago. There, a new kind of “Chicago” blues began. The new music was excellent dance music. Chicago blues led to the birth of
a new music style －rock and roll.
52.This passage is mainly about _________.
A. the blues music
B. the life of African Americans
C. the blues lyrics
D. the rhythms of different music
53.What information does the passage NOT provide?
A.How the blues music developed as time went by.
B.What the blues lyrics are mostly about.
C.When African Americans moved to the American South.
D.How long the banjo was popular in the blues history.
54.Which of the following is the most likely taken from a blues song?
A.You have to help me. I’ll die if you don’t. You have to help me.
B.You have to help me. You have to help me. I’ll die if you don’t.
C.I’ll die if you don’t help me. You have to help me. You have to help me.
D.I’ll die if you don’t help me. You have to help me. Please help me.
55.What fact does the passage lead you to believe?

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping—watching TV and buying things by phone.Now teleshopping is starting in Europe (欧洲).In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.
