It’s never easy to admit you are in the  39   . Being human, we all need to know the  40  of apologizing.

Then the wise old doctor made him write to his brother asking  53  and enclosing（附入）a cheque as the first step in  54  . He then went him to the mail box in the passage. As the letter disappeared, the man burst tears. “Thank you,” he said. “I think I’m  55   .” 36. A. tested                 B. repaid                       C. damaged                D. stored 37.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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。

A

You are entering a world far different from the one my generation entered. My generation grew up with no MTV, no college loan deadbeats(赖帐的人), no $175 sneakers(软底鞋), no underwear worn in public and very little jewelry worn on the tongue. Yet somehow we broke through and, achieved all these things, and more. I believe that your generation is far more humane and caring than my own. You ask questions :“What is the meaning of life?” “How can I make a fortune with almost no money down?” “Why do we have to sit round in the hot sun listening to a commencement speech? ” I do not recall who it was who spoke at my own graduation. Whoever it was, I know I looked to him for wisdom and guidance, just as you now look to me. I suppose if there is one single message I’d like to leave with you, it is this: concentrate(集中精力) on what you are doing.

If you do it well, you will be successful, unless you are trying to eliminate(消除) the federal deficit(赤字) or establish an indoor smoking zone.

Act daringly. Do not fear making mistakes; though if you make one, look out.

Make a contribution. Even though 70 percent of you will be lawyers, still I say to you: Try to do something useful with your life, if only in your spare time.

In a very real sense, your graduation here today is not an ending but a commencement, a beginning. If I may say so, this is, in fact, the first day of the rest of your lives. I realize it is a bit shocking to look at graduation this way., but I believe we must. Thank you, and lots of luck. You’ll need it.

56. The underlined word “commencement” probably means          .

A. beginning                 B. end              C. election                  D. graduation

57. Where and how are the students listening to the speech? A. They are standing in the open air.      B. They are sitting in the open air. C. They are sitting in a classroom           D.

B. give the students some advice C. tell the students how to make a fortune D. tell the students how to become good lawyers 59. The students are NOT encouraged to        

A. concentrate on what they are doing                             B. act bravely C. try to do something useful                                         D. try to eliminate the federal deficit

Shui Junyi. the well-known TV reporter, left Baghdad on March 19, a day before the US-led war against Iraq broke out. But, he returned on March 26. Now, as things heat up, it is uncertain at this time just where he will be reporting from. Shui was one of the reporters traveling alone in Iraq. These journalists are not among the more than 500 who are “embedded”(植入的) with US or British troops. The Pentagon(美国五角大楼) in Washington has tried to discourage such risky reporting, saying it is too dangerous. However, the journalists say “No” because they want to get a different side of the story. They say they especially hope to give a true report on what is in the mind of ordinary Iraqi people and the results of the shooting and bombing. “If you are embedded, you are surrounded by troops. You can’t talk to those ordinary people because they are running away from you,” said an Australian reporter. But these reporters have to face many more dangers than the embedded journalists. For example, there is a greater risk of being attacked by Iraqis, being mistakenly fired upon by troops or getting caught in crossfire(交火). Already, six journalists have been killed or are reported missing and believed killed in this war. All of them were non-embedded, including a 51-year-old British journalist and a 39-year-old Australian. Both died while working on March 22. Reporters Without Borders, an organization that defends the interests of journalists around the world, was shocked to learn of the deaths. General secretary(秘书长)Robert Monard said these men have paid a high price for their willingness to fully on the war in Iraq. The search for true news is a necessary battle to ensure that world reporting can be free of bias(偏见). During the 1991 Gulf War, four journalists killed. The latest deaths add to a long list of journalists killed while doing their jobs. Between 1992 and 2002, more than 500 journalists were killed throughout the world, almost half of them in war-torn areas. 64. The US-led war against Iraq broke out on            . A. March 19                 B. March 26               C. March 20                   D. March 18 65. Some war journalists hoped to work independently             . A. to escape being attacked by Iraqi B. to give a true report on what was going on in the war C. because it was very risky to stay with the troops D. because US or UK troops couldn’t accept any more reporters 66. We can learn from the text that        . A. the Pentagon encouraged more reporters to cover the war B. Shui Junyi was among the more than 500 journalists embedded with the troops C. few of the ordinary Iraqi people dared talk to US or UK soldiers D. the embedded journalists faced more dangers than those who worked alone 67. Which of the following is TRUE about the journalists who were killed in the war. A. Six embedded journalists are reported to have been killed or missing in the war. B. Compared to the past, more journalists were killed in the wars in the recent years. C. More than 5000 journalists were killed in the wars around the world between 1992 and 2002. D. Less than five journalists were killed during the 1991 Gulf War.

My topic is fashion(时装), and to make my talk more lively. I have brought along five objects. Fashion is important to all of us. Now we are wearing school uniforms(校服). When we go home, what do we do? We change into other clothes. If we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes. So my first object is this blouse. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? It is my most expensive piece of clothing, and I love it. It cost over $ 600. You may say that it is too expensive, but luckily I can afford it. The more you spend, the better quality. So you see, fashion is quite important to me, I admit it. However, I’m not as fond of fashion as my elder brother. Last summer, my parents took us both to London. They wanted to show us some famous sights. But my brother Gary did not appreciate the old buildings. He just wanted to spend all his time in the big shopping arcades(拱廊市场), searching for the coolest pair of trousers! For him, fashion was more important than culture. These are the trousers he bought. Were they worth the expense of a trip to London to buy these? I don’t think so. I think it was a waste of time and money. We must, however, remember that fashion is a very big business. Changes in fashion can create or lose jobs. As an example, I have brought this blonde(淡黄色的) wig(假发) to show you. Do you like it? It belongs to one of my mother’s friends. She told me that in the 1960s, it was fashionable for Western women to wear wigs. But a few years later fashions changed and women wore wigs much less often. Then the wig factories closed down and hundreds of workers lost their jobs. 68. The writer is          at the moment. A. selling some fashionable clothes                                           B. buying the coolest school uniforms C. making a speech to the fellow students          D. traveling to London 69. The author showed all these objects EXCEPT           in the text. A. the blonde wig                                           B. the expensive blouse C. the cool trousers                                         D. the school uniform 70. According to the text, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The author doesn’t like fashion as much as her elder brother. B. At one time, wearing wigs was fashionable for Western women. C. Fashion is important to people who like it. D. The higher the price is, the better the quality is. 71. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Wigs were always popular in the past. B. People in the east once liked wearing blonde wigs. C. Fashion is actually a business. D. Business often depends on the production of wigs.
