第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

History is a society's memory and forms part of people's identity (身份). But Taiwan's government has proposed a change to their history. In the move their textbooks will separate the island's history from the rest of China.

By disconnecting the island's history from the mainland, the government hopes to create a stronger Taiwan identity.

Under new guidelines (方针) to be carried out in 2006, Taiwan has ordered high schools to change textbooks to create one book of Taiwan's history. At the moment their books cover the complete Chinese history. But following the new move Chinese history will be taught as part of international history. No longer to be included as part of Taiwan's history is the founding of the Republic of China (ROC) in 1911 by Sun Yat-sen. This event will be in the new international history book.

"It is a political attempt by Taiwan's leader Chen Shui-bian to make their education support Taiwan's independence", said Li Weiyi, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council.

This move has also received great opposition in Taiwan's schools. "The new outline (大纲) is too political and facts have been changed," said Yu Lin, the headmaster of Taipei Middle School. "It will confuse students' understanding of history."

"Who on earth should I think is the founding father of the ROC?" asked a student in Taipei. "Many famous people in history like Confucius(孔子) or Sun Yat-sen, who was considered 'father of the ROC' for more than half a century, should now be thought of as foreigners based upon this ridiculous logic.'' he said.

Many people have shown opposition to the move. "History cannot be changed. Mixing politics with our history means forgetting our ancestors," said Lien Chan, chairman of Kuomintang Party. "It will not do any good for the Taiwanese and only worsen cross-Straits relations."

56. What is mainly described in the passage?

A. Taiwan’s government has proposed a change to their history textbooks in 2006.

B. Taiwan authorities want to separate the island from the mainland.

C. Taiwan leaders want to make their education support Taiwan's independence.

D. Taiwan leaders try to confuse students' understanding of history.

57. What’s the excuse for the move according to Taiwan’s government?

A. To cut off all connections with the mainland.

B. To disconnect the island's history from the mainland.

C. Most of the Taiwanese do not welcome the textbook.

D. To create a stronger Taiwanese identity.

58. Which of the following is not included in the move?

A. Chinese history will be taught as part of international history.

B. The founding of the ROC in 1911 by Sun Yat-sen will be in the new international history book.

C. Sun Yat-sen will be considered 'father of the ROC'.

D. Many famous people in history like Confucius or Sun Yat-sen will be thought of as foreigners.

59. Which of the following doesn’t show the correct relation between the man and the opinion?

A. China’s spokesman: It is an attempt to make their education support Taiwan’s independence.

B. Headmaster in Taipei: The new outline will throw light on students’ understanding of history.

C. A student in Taipei: It’s ridiculous to consider some Chinese historical figures as foreigners.

D. Chairman of Kuomintang Party: The relation between the island and the mainland will become tense.

B

You’re out to dinner. The food is delicious and the service is fine. You decide to leave a big fat tip. Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.

Tipping, psychologists (心理学家) have found, is not just about service. Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors (因素) from the waiter’s choice of words to how they carry themselves while taking orders to the bill’s total. Even how much waiters remind customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.

“Studies before have shown that mimicry (模拟) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,” wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor. “These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous (大方的) toward the person who mimics them.”

So Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters into two groups. He requested that half serve with a phrase such as, “Coming up!” Those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers. Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home. The results were clear-it pays to mimic your customer. The copycat waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.

Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tipper may be limited by his bill. After research on the 1,000 tips left for waiters, cab drivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in three areas dropped as customers’ bills went up. In fact, tip percentages appear to plateau (达到稳定水平) when bills topped $ 100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $ 100.

“That’s also a point of tipping,” Green says. “You have to give a little extra to the cab driver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you. If they weren’t there you’d never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”

60. How many factors affecting the customers’ tipping are mentioned in the passage?

A. 2. B. 1. C. 3. D. 4.

61. According to the passage, a customer gives the cab driver a tip for ____.

A. driver’s politeness B. driver’s mimicry C. driver’s attitudes D. being there

62. According to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the right change of the tip percentages?

63. According to the passage, we know the writer seems to _________.

A. oppose Mr. Green’s idea about tipping

B. think part of Mr. Green’s explanation is reasonable

C. give his generous tip to the waiters very often

D. support the opinions of Mr. Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping

Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive (重新体验) these experiences in nightmares.

Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase (抹去), the effect of painful memories.

In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.

The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war.

They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. "Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."

But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. "All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we'd want to wipe those memories out," said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist (伦理学家).

Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases, it would become more and more common. "People always have the ability to misuse science," said Joseph LeDoux, a New York University memory researcher. "All we want to do is help people have better control of memories."

67. What’s the main idea of the text?

A. People often suffer from bad memories.

B. American researchers are trying to develop a pill.

C. Forget bad memories, and be happy.

D. The research has caused a heated argument.

68. The underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to “_____”.

A. the new drug B. the research into the drug

C. the memory D. the chemical in the drug

69. Which of the following is not the opinion of the supporters?

A. The pill can erase all the memories in the past.

B. Some memories can ruin people’s life. The pill can relieve emotional suffering.

C. The pill can also help many other types of people who suffer from terrible memories.

D. The pill can prevent or treat troubling memories in soldiers after war.

70. Which of the following is not the opinion of the opponents (反对者)?

A. Our memories give us our identity.

B. The memories help humanity avoid mistakes of the past.

C. The drug should be used in only very serious cases.

D. People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out.

Ban Ki-moon was made the 8th Secretary-General of the United Nations. In his speech at the ceremony of his taking office, he thanked all the Member States for placing confidence in him, and also expressed his deepest respect and appreciation to all the leaders and people of the Member States for their strong support.

His remark about the former Secretary-General, who he said had guided their Organization into the 21st century and had made the UN truly vital to peace, prosperity and human dignity around the world, was particularly impressive. Mr. Ban Ki-moon stated in his speech that he had already made up his mind to build upon the already-made achievements of the UN.

The new Secretary-General thinks the UN is needed now more than ever before. The UN’s major task in the previous century was to keep countries from fighting each other. In the new century, it is very clear that the UN’s most important task is to strengthen the inter-state system so that humanity may be better served. We need competent and responsible states to meet the needs of “we the peoples” for whom the UN was created. And the world’s peoples will not be fully served unless peace, development and human rights, the three pillars of the UN, are advanced together with great efforts and equal determination.

As the new Secretary-General, he is not as proud as people thought he might be. He said he was far from perfect and he would need the support, cooperation and trust from all the Member States. And he faithfully promised to serve them well, with all of his heart and to the best of his abilities.

There is also something exciting he said about young people. It’s his hope that young boys and girls of today will grow up knowing that the UN is working hard to build a better future for them. As Secretary-General, he will hold their hopes and hear their demands.

Main aspects in Ban Ki-moon’s speech
