第三局部：阅读理解〔共20小题；每题2分，总分值40分〕
阅读以下短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最正确选项，并把正确答案写在答题卡上。

(A)
Like
fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from
the first taste to the last. And good writers, like good-cooks, do not suddenly
appear full-blown. Quite the contrary, just as the cook has to undergo(经历) an intensive training,
mastering the skills of his trade,
the writer must sit at desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose is; school-work, matters of business, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding.
There are
still some remote places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for a fee. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.
We have to write
school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to
put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be very great. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes that whatever we write is read, from first word to last. Not just thrown into “letters-to-be-read〞 file or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of
interesting, effective writing.
56. In this
passage, good writing is compared to fine food because .
A. both writers
and cooks have to work long hours every day
B. both are
necessary to life
C. both writers
and cooks can earn a good living
D. both are
enjoyable
57. The
author thinks that the most important reason for us to practice writing skills is to .
A. earn
our living B.
attract others to read
C. do
daily reports easily D.
become good secretaries
58.
According to the author, if your letter is thrown into some “letters-to-be-read〞 file, .
A. it
will receive immediate attention B. it will be dealt with by the secretary
C. it is
likely to be passed over
D. it is meant to be delivered soon
59. The
purpose of the author in writing this passage is to .
A.
comment and blame B.
introduce and describe
C.
explain and persuade D.
interest and inform
(B)
Everyone
has a childhood full of dreams. Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
Before
World War I, we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim
memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall
clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who
gathered next door. But I do have a clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the insects.
I am a
naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm had led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people’s
observations and discoveries. Then something happens, that brings these
observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted
in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.
But
curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist, up to point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.
60. The
first paragraph tells us the author
.
A. was
interested in flowers and insects in his childhood B. lost
his hearing when he was a child
C. didn’t
like his brothers and sisters D. was
born to a naturalist’s family
61. The
author can’t remember his relatives clearly because .
A. he
didn’t live very long with them
B. the
family was extremely large
C. he
was too young when he lived with them
D. he
was fully occupied with observing nature
62. It
can be inferred from the passage that the author was .
A. a
scientist as well as a naturalist B.
a naturalist but not a scientist
C. no
more than a born naturalist D.
first of all a scientist
63. The
author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he .
A. has a
great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic
B. lacks
some of the qualities required of a scientist
C. just
reads about other people’s observations and discoveries
D. comes
up with solutions in a most natural way
64.
According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be .
A. full
of hope B.
full of enthusiasm C. knowledgeable D.
self-disciplined
(C)
Generations
of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essential to one’s life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before
starting a trip.
But for
many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a
pleasure. So in spite of all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be got, the number of
people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33%－from 8.8 million to 11.7 million －according to the Chicago-based Marken Research Corporation of
America.
For
those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years have shown that, for grown-ups especially. There may be nothing wrong with leaving out breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect work,〞 said Amold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve
work.〞
Scientific
evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate (不充分的), and
most of the recent work involves children, not grown-ups. “The literature,〞
says one researcher, Dr. Earnest Pollitt at the University of Texan, “is poor.〞
65. The
main idea of the passage is .
A.
breakfast has nothing to do with people’s health
B. a
good breakfast used to be important to us
C.
breakfast is not as important to us as gasoline to a car
D.
breakfast is still as important as us we thought before
66. The
underlined part “nor does giving people breakfast improve work〞 means .
A.
people without breakfast can improve their work
B. not
giving people breakfast improves work
C.
having breakfast does not improve work, either
D.
people having breakfast do improve their work, too
67. For
those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that A.
several studies have been done in the past years
B. the
omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s health
C.
grown-ups have especially made studies in this field D.
eating little in the morning is good for health
68. What
is implied but not stated by the author is that .
A.
breakfast does not affect work
B. Dr.
Pollitt works at the University of Teaxas
C. not
eating breakfast might affect the health of children
D.
Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London
(D)
On May 29，1973，Thomas
Bradley, a black man, was elected mayor of Los Angeles. Los Angeles is the third largest city in the United States, with a population of three million. About sixteen percent of the city’s population are black.
News of this election appeared on the front
pages of newspapers everywhere in the United States. Here is how one of the
newspapers reported the event:
LOS ANGELES ELECTS BRADLEY
MAYOR UNSEATING YORTY
BLACK WINS 56% OF VOTES
Bradley called his victory over Yorty “the
fulfillment(实现) of a
dream〞. During his childhood and youth, people had kept telling him, “You can’t
do this, you can’t go there, because you are a Negro.〞 Nevertheless he had won
a decisive victory over a man who had been the city’s mayor for three terms.
Bradley had won 43. 7 percent.
Los Angeles has had many opportunities to
judge Thomas Bradley and to form an opinion of him. The son of a poor farmer Texas, he joined the Los Angeles police force in 1940. During his twenty one years on the police force he earned a law degree by attending school at night.
He was elected to the city council ten years ago.
At the time of the Los Angeles election,
three other American cities already had black mayors, but none of those cites had as large a population as large a population as Los Angeles. Besides, the percentage of blacks in those other cities was much larger. Cleveland , Ohio, had thirty-six percent black when Carl Stokes was elected mayor of Cleveland in 1967. In the same year Richard Hatcher was elected mayor of Gary, Indiana,
which had fifty-five percent black. In Newark, New Jersey, sixty percent of the population were black when Kenneth Gibson was elected in 1970. Thus election of
a black mayor in those cities was not very surprising.
In Los Angeles thousands of white citizens
voted for Thomas Bradley because they believed he would be a better mayor than the white candidate. Bradley had spent forty-eight of his fifty-five years in Los Angeles. For years ago Bradley lost mayoral election to Yorty. This time Bradley won.
69. In the author’s opinion, it was
surprising that .
A．the white would vote for a black
mayor
B．a black mayor would be elected in
such a large city
C．a black from a poor farmer’s family
could be elected mayor of Los Angeles D．there would be so many black mayors 70．From the passage we can infer that people .
A．voted for Bradley because of his black color
B．didn’t care much about his color when they voted
C．voted for him to give him a chance to fulfill his dream
D．voted for Bradley because they trusted him
71．Bradley hit the front page headline
for .
A．he was the first black mayor in the history
B．he was the first black mayor in the south of USA
C．he was the first black mayor of one of the largest cities in the USA
D．a poor farmer’s son could also win an important election
72．From Bradley’s victory in the election we can see that . A．blacks had equal rights as whites
in the USA
B．black people’s situation began to
be improving much more than before
C．one can be successful through hard
work in the USA no matter what color he is
D．it is certain that someday USA will
have a black president

Sleeping Position and
Personality
Everyone has got two
personalities—the
one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t
show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your
behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In
a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The
important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your
back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very
confident.
If you sleep on your
stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always
easily upset. You’re very stubborn (顽固的), but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today not for。
