第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分)

从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

I stole your dog today. No, I didn't set a foot on your house, but from the condition of your dog, I can imagine what it looks like... The word" rubbish" comes to mind.

I found her along a road, with a heavy chain wrapped around her neck, still attached to rotten boards from her doghouse. Not only did I know that most of the town people had already ignored her, judging by the place where I found her, but I knew that if she had gotten into the woods, the "cross" that she dragged behind her would have wrapped itself around a tree until starvation or thirst killed her.

She has a beautiful name now. Already in the first week she has come to look more like she should. Her eyes sparkle and she has learned to wag her tail in greeting. She has stopped flinching( 畏缩 )when I make a sudden movement, because she knows now that I won' t beat her. In fact, she rarely leaves my side. She's even become brave enough to bark at a cat and today I looked out of the window as she attempted to play with other dogs. No, it’s clear that she does not miss you or her former life on a chain.

It' s not clear yet whether she'll remain here or whether I'll find her a loving home where she can count on more individual attention than I can give her, but one thing is certain, this is a bit of stolen" property" which is never returning to you. So sue me, accuse me, plead with the court that she is rightfully yours... I' m convinced that this is the best" crime" I've ever committed. Hardly anything has pleased me more than the day when I stole your dog. I need only look into her beautiful brown eyes to know that she'd defend my decision with her life. If we have one prayer, it is that you will not replace her, and if we have one special day to celebrate together, it is the day I stole your dog and the day she stole my heart.

56．What's the author's attitude towards the former owner of the dog?

A．Puzzled. B．Angry. C．Shocked. D．Satisfied.

58．All the following statements showed us the dog’s recovery from her nature except______.

A．not missing her former master

B．barking at a cat

C．playing with other dogs

D．waving her tail to make greetings

59．What did the author think of his theft?

A．He was afraid of being punished.

C．He believed that the law would allow him to do so.

Robert Capa

During his first years in Paris, Capa worked mainly on local photo. It was not until 1936 that he got his big break. He was sent to cover the Spanish Civil War and, as a result, his work started to appear regularly in top magazines and newspapers. It was his picture of a Loyalist Soldier Falling to His Death which brought him international repute and became powerful symbol of war.

In 1936, shortly after the Spanish War, Capa worked in New York for a while. However, he quickly returned to Europe on the outbreak of World War II and stayed there for six years. His photographs of the Normandy Invasion became some of the most memorable war photographs in history, and he received the Medal of Freedom Citation for his work.

Capa's job as a war photographer often put him in great personal danger, but despite the risks his motto was always: "If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough." However, on 25 May 1954, Capa's luck ran out. He was working on an assignment in French Indochina when he stepped on a land mine. He was killed instantly.

Today Robert Capa is considered one of the finest war photographers of all time. He was all exceptional photojournalist who used his camera to express and record the horror of the events around him. Not surprisingly Capa hated war, especially his often passive role in it. "it's not always easy to stand aside and be unable to do anything except record the sufferings around one." he said.

60．How did Robert Capa get his "big break"?

A．He went abroad and commanded the Spanish Civil War.

B．He began to write for top magazines and newspapers.

C．Before 1936 he was well received as a war photographer.

D．He became very famous as a war photographer.

61．Why was Robert Capa given the Medal of Freedom Citation?

A．Because he joined the Second World war bravely.

B．Because of his photographs taken during the war.

C．Because he worked in Europe where he stayed for about 6 years.

D．Because he died from stepping on a land mine.

62．By saying "If your picture aren't good enough, you aren't close enough." Capa wanted to tell others_____________.

A．to take pictures good enough, you can't avoid going to the front at the risk of losing their own lives

B．to be a good photographer, you are never too close to nature

C．it is important to be close enough to the objects when pictures are taken

D．it is not their fault not to have some good pictures to be praised

63．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Capa is well known as one of the finest war photographers.

B．Capa felt sorry for the horror and sufferings caused by the war and not being able to help.

C．Capa felt sorry to be a war photographer and suffered a lot from the job.

D．Capa hoped there wouldn't be any war in the world in future.

Fifteen years after the fall of the Berlin wall, a private museum is rebuilding a 200-metre section of it. The site, close to Checkpoint Charlie, the famous Cold War border crossing, is meant to satisfy tourists. The new copy consists of large concrete(混凝土) pieces taken from the actual wall. But it must follow a slightly different course because of new buildings on the site of the original wall.

Alexandra Hildebrandt, the manager of the Checkpoint Charlie museum, said it would remind people of the history when East and West Berlin were separated by the wall. Some young people tend to forget it.

After World War II, Berlin was divided into four parts: the Soviet, US, UK, and French. Each had a part of the city under its control. At first, the citizens of Berlin were allowed to move freely. However, as the Cold War continued, movement became restricted( 受限制的 ). The border between West Germany and East Germany was closed in 1952.

Work on a wall around the three western parts began on August 13, 1961 in East Berlin. It was backed by the Soviet Union. The wall was a 155-kilometre-long wall with an average height of 3.6 metres. West Germany would hold their babies above the wall for relatives to see.

After 28 years of separation, travel restrictions on East Germans were lifted by the East German Government on November 9, 1989．Tens of thousands of people immediately went to the wall, where the border guards opened passages and allowed them through. November 9 is considered the day when the wall fell. The fall of the Berlin Wall marked the end of the Cold War. West and East Germany were unified on October 3, 1990.

"It's a very strange feeling," Wolfgang Mtiller,53 ,a worker who used to live in East Berlin, said as he carefully smoothed cement(水泥) on to the blocks, "I never thought I would be building the Berlin Wall again."

64．Why is the 200-metre wall rebuilt?

A．Because many young Germans don't know about the Berlin Wall.

B．Because people want to see the Berlin Wall when they go there.

C．Because the manager of the museum wants to become well known.

D．Because the government wants to stop people through the border.

65．According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?

A．The new wall is located exactly at the spot where the old part is.

B．The Berlin Wall was built with the support of the US, UK and France.

C．The Berlin Wall was built with the support of the Soviet Union.

D．The new wall is being built with the support of government.

66．The period of the Cold War could probably begin_________.

A．in the late 1980s B．in the early 1960s

C．in the early 1950s D．after World War II

67．Choose the right time order of the following events.

A．the fall of the Berlin Wall B．the division of Berlin

C．the rebuilding of the new wal D．the end of World War II

e. the reunion of West and East Germany

f. the close of the border between West and East Germany

A．d,f,a,c,e,b B．c,a,d,b,f,e C．b,f,d,e,a,c D．d,b,f,a,e,c

Last year, two days after Christmas, we kicked China out of the house. Not the country obviously, but bits of plastic, metal, and wood with the words "Made in China" .We kept what we already had, but stopped bringing any more in. Because it had coated our lives with toys, and useless stuff. Sometimes I worried about jobs sent overseas, but price triumphed(胜过)over virtue at our house. We couldn't resist what China was selling.

But on that dark Monday last year, an unease feeling washed over me as I sat on the sofA．It wasn't until then that I noticed a fact: China was taking over the place.

It stared back at me from the empty screen of the television. I spied(忽然发现) it in the pile of tennis shoes by the door. It glowed in the lights on the Christmas tree and watched me in the eyes of a doll lay on the floor, I slipped off the couch and sorted gifts into two piles: China and non-China. The count came to China, 25, the world, 14．Christmas, I realized, had become a holiday made by the Chinese. Suddenly I wanted China out.

I persuaded my husband, and on Jan. 1st, we started a-year-long household embargo on Chinese imports. The idea wasn't to punish China. And we didn't fool ourselves into thinking because we wanted to measure how far it had pushed in. We wanted to know what it would take in time, money, and worry to kick our China habit!

In the spring, our 4-year-old son started a campaign to support "China things". "It's too long without China," he cried. He kept at me all day.

I have discovered for myself that China doesn't control every aspect of our daily lives, but if you take a close look at the underside of boxes in the toy department, I promise it will give you pause. "When we can buy China things again? Let's never stop." my son said.

After a year without China I can tell you this: You can still live without it, but it's getting costlier by the day. And a decade from now I may not be brave enough to try it again.

68．The best title for the text could be_________.

A．A Year without "Made in China" B．China Free Living: A Trouble One

C．Why I Choose "Made in China" D．"Made in China": Good or Bad

69．According to the passage, why did the author stop bringing in things "Made in China"?

A．Because she wanted to bring back job opportunities for her natives.

B．Because she has a strong sense of nationalism against "Made in China".

C．Because she wanted to learn what life would be like without "Made in China".

D．Because too much stuff made in China was taking over her house.

70．The Underlined word "embargo" in the forth paragraph means____________.

A．reaction B．ban C．restriction D．cancellation

71．The writer's purpose in writing this passage is_________.

A．to tell the readers an interesting experience

B．to describe the trouble facing a housewife

C．to explain the importance of Chinese goods

D．to show the difficulty without Chinese goods
