第一节 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和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working harder than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the great efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunch rooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever increasing output. Thus the “typical” Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comfort and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.

Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that “assembly line life” will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local café?

Since the late 1950s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence.

In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.

41. Which of the following is a feature of the old French way of life?

A. Leisure, elegance, and efficiency

B. Elegance, efficiency, and taste

C. Leisure, elegance, and taste

D. Elegance, efficiency, and leisure

42. Which of the following is NOT true about Frenchmen?

A. Many of them prefer the modern life style.

B. They actually enjoy working at the assembly line.

C. They are more concerned with money than before.

D. They are more competitive than the old generation.

43. The passage suggests that _________.

A. in pursuing material gains the French are suffering losses elsewhere

B. it’s now unlikely to see a Frenchman enjoying a stroll by the river

C. the French are fed up with the smell of freshly picked apples

D. great changes have occurred in the life style of all Frenchmen

44. Which of the following is true about the critics?

A. Critics are greater in number than people enjoying the new way of life.

B. Students critics are greater in number than critics in other fields.

C. Students critics have, on occasion, resorted to violent means against the trend.

D. Critics are concerned solely with the present and not the future.

45. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?

A. Changes in the French Way of Life

B. Criticism of the New Life Style

C. The Americanization of France

D. Features of the New Way of Life

B

There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority(优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling.

If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.

I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible(难以辨认)”. It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centred on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.

46. What is the problem with students’ writing?

A. How to write freely.

B. What to write.

C. How to write freely with right spelling.

D. How to write freely with his own words.

47. Why do teachers encourage early use of dictionaries?

A. Students will express themselves confidently.

B. Teachers will not worry about so many spelling errors.

C. Students’ writing will be good both in content and in technical ability.

D. Teachers will be proud of their clever students.

48. The author seems to think that ______.

A. spelling is unimportant in school.

B. teachers have the same view about teaching spelling.

C. teachers should pay much attention to the student’s technical ability.

D. the student’s idea is the most important in his writing.

49. In paragraph 3, the attitude of the author is ________.

A. suspicious B. indifferent

C. subjective D. objective

50. The main idea of the passage is _______.

A. the importance of students’ writing

B. the importance of teachers’ attitudes

C. how to deal with the spelling errors

D. how to deal with technical ability and content

Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son's soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my son's team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.

With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son's teammate, Mickey O'Donnel. With shouts of "Kick it!" echoing across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted (沸腾). O'Donnel had scored!

Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.

The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, "I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!" For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting(歌唱), "Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!" Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.

Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied, "It was a tie. Everybody won."

51. What was the score of the soccer match?

A. Two to two, equal to both the teams.

B. Three to one in Mickey's team's favor.

C. Two to one in the opposite team's favor.

D. Everybody won because of Mickey's goal.

52. The underlined word "hush" in paragraph 3 means

A. cheer B. cry C. laughter D. silence

53. What did the author worry about when Mickey scored and hugged his son?

A. The result of the match would fail his son.

B. His son would shout at Mickey for his goal.

C. Mickey would again hug the opposing players.

D. His son would understand Mickey's wrong goal.

54. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. both teams liked and respected Mickey

B. both teams were thankful to Mickey for his goal

C. Mickey didn't mind though his goal was wrong

D. Mickey was a kind- hearted boy and hoped everybody won

55. The purpose of the author in writing the passage is ________.

A. to tell a joke to make readers laugh

B. to suggest we should not mind losing

C. to show enjoying a game is more than winning a game

D. to present his son's fine qualities of understanding others

56. (Part One) Once your plants are growing you will need to keep them happy. How do you do this and what sorts of tools will you need? Plants need water and food, but when and in what sort of quantities? This module explains the cultivation techniques necessary to keep your plants in fine fettle. There are simple basic steps you can take to ensure you cut the right stem, at the right time, in the right place.

57. (Part two) Plants lose water through their leaves all the time. It is essential to ensure there is enough to replenish the roots, otherwise they will die. In warm weather water is lost from the soil by evaporation, so watering will need to be done more often.

58. (Part Three) To keep them growing healthily, plants absorb through their roots about 30 different nutrients and minerals dissolved in water.

59. (Part Four) Pruning is basically cutting off carefully selected parts of a plant to restrict its size, persuade it to grow in a particular shape, encouraging more fruit, flowers or stems, or to remove dead or diseased material. But pruning is neither difficult nor complicated; in fact a lot of it is applying common sense! You just have to follow a few guidelines and check in a book what kind of pruning the particular plant needs. The removal of dead, diseased, broken, crossing and crowded branches is often sufficient for many plants.

60. (Part Five) A spade is your basic digging implement; use it to make holes and to dig sandy or loamy soil. Fork is perfect for digging soil that’s stodgy, such as clay, or full of stones; moving and spreading organic matter; and breaking down clods of soil…

Working Individually or Working in a Team

There are basically two ways to get work done. One is to work individually. In this way, people can decide for themselves when to start work and how to do it. What’s more, they will be able to learn how to solve problems on their own.

People may also choose to work in a team, where they can learn from each other and help each other. Besides, they may work out better ways to get work done by discussion.

Personally, I prefer to work in a team, which offers me a chance to learn how to get along with others and to share my experiences with them.
