第三、阅读理解（每小题2分，共25小题，满分50分）
第一节  阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将
该项涂黑
A
  If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have
to say that
we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it what we did each day, we
should be able to give an answer to the question.
      It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in china 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.
    Sometimes, of course, even if the people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations, for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call 'remembered history'. Some of it had now been written down. It is not m exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.
41. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
     A. "Remembered history", compared with written history, is less reliable(可靠的).
     B. Written records of the past plays a most important role in our learning of the human history.
C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to remember the events that happened in the past.
     D. Where there are no written records of the past, there is no history.
42. Why do we know little about what happened in Central Africa 200 years ago?
     A. There was nothing worth being written down at that time.
     B. People there had not known how to write in those days.
     C. The written records were perhaps destroyed in a fire.
     D. People there ignored the importance of keeping a record.
43. According to the author, which of the following is not 'remembered history'?
     A. History based on a person's imagination.
     B. Stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth.
     C. Songs and dances about important events in the past.
     D. Spoken stories about the past.
44. 'Remembered history' is regarded as valuable only when__________.
     A. it is written down                        B. it proves to be true
     C. no written account is available            D. people are interested in it
45. It can be inferred from the passage that we could have learned much more about our past
than we do now if our ancestors had___________.
A. kept a written record of every past event  
B. not burnt their written records in wars
C. told exact stories of the most important happenings
D. made more songs and dances
B
Aristotle said it was the reward of an active life lived with sweet reason. Sigmund Freud said it
was mostly a matter of work and love. Charles Shultz, the cartoonist-philosopher, claimed it was really a warm puppy. So just what is the thing called happiness? For centuries, people were too busy pursuing it to spend much time analyzing it. Now a pioneering band of researchers has finally bagged the query—or at least found its measures. And their answer to the age-old mystery is that it all depends.
     Happiness, that is, depends on what makes you feel happy, which is why psychologists(心理学家)
often call it "subjective(主观的 ) well-being". But from studies of various age and population groups in
the United States and abroad, they have reached some objective( 客观的) conclusions on the making
of happiness. What comes up at the top of the charts is not, as many might expect, success, youth,
good looks or any of those invisible assets. The clear winner is relationships. Close ones. Followed by a
happy marriage. Next comes religious faith, of almost of any kind. "Supportive, intimate connections
with other people seem very important “, says psychologist David Myers, whose book The Pursuit of
Happiness is one of the cluster of recent publications in the field.
46. The underlined phrase "well-being" in the passage probably means__________.
A. close relationship       B. full of hope          C. personal comfort     D. success
47. The overall tone( 口吻) of this passage is__________.
   A. subjective             B. objective             C. optimistic(乐观的)   D. cynical (嘲弄的)
C
   If you stay in an Indian home, bring something from your home country as a gift. It would be much
appreciated. But find out the social position and religion of your hosts before you choose a gift. A
bottle of foreign whisky would be the perfect gift for some, and not at all appropriate for others. If you
know the people you are going to stay with, it is a good idea to ask them what they would like. Some
things are just not available in India.
   It is not necessary to bring a gift when you are invited to dinner. After all, you are the honoured
guest. Until recently, it would have been almost insulting to bring sweets or a bottle of wine. But this is
not true today. Nowadays it is a custom which is becoming popular with many Indians. Fruit, flowers
or a box of sweets are perfect gifts on such occasions, and will offend(冒犯) no one.
   In all classes of society, both urban and rural, food is only taken to the mouth with the right hand.
This is the most important part of the manners of eating in India. Once you have started eating, and
have food in your right hand, it is all right to serve yourself, using the serving spoon with the left hand.
When you watch Indians eat you will see that they keep their left hand on their lap.
  If you are stuck for a conversation topic in India, talk about families. Another useful subject to start
with is cricket. But once you get to know a person better, any topic is acceptable. Indians love to talk
about politics and religion. They enjoy opinionated discussions and not just polite conversations.
Conversation is an art form and people take the time to really talk.
48. If you stay with an Indian family,___________.
   A. you are expected to take a gift               B. you should take flowers
   C. you are not expected to take a gift           D. take a souvenir from your country
49. If you are invited for a meal at an Indian home, __________.
A. you should offer to pay for your food         B. you will offend your hosts if you take anything
C. it is fashionable to take flowers or sweets     D. it is traditional to take a dish
50. Indians love interesting discussions but they________.
    A. only talk about family matters             B. avoid religion and politics
C. don't like talking about themselves        D. don' t appreciate polite conversation
51. The sentence "Some things are just not available" in the first paragraph means
     A. You can buy these things in India        B. They don't make these things in India
     C. They have never seen these things      D. You can't get these things in India
D
      Mary Cochran was out of the rooms where she lived with her father, Doctor Lester Cochran, at
seven o'clock on a Sunday evening. It was June of the year nineteen hundred and eight, and Mary was eighteen years old. She walked along Tremont to Main Street and across the railroad tracks to Upper Main, lined with small shops and shabby houses, a rather quiet cheerless place on Sundays when there were few people about.

"I'll get off by myself and think", she told herself as she walked slowly along. The night, she thought, promised to be fine to be spent sitting in a church and hearing a man talk of things that had clearly nothing to do with her own problem. Her own affairs were approaching(almost reaching) a crisis(危机), and it was time for her to begin thinking seriously of her future.
     The thoughtful serious state of mind which Mary found herself had been made arise in her by a
conversation she had with her father on the evening before. Without any preliminary (有准备的 ) talk
and quite suddenly he had told her that he was suffering from heart disease and might die at any
moment. He had made the announcement as they stood together in his office, behind which were the
rooms in which the father and the daughter lived.

      It's not only rocket scientists and journalists who are following the course of "Shenzhou
V", or "Divine ship/ vessel V". There are also lexicographers(字典编纂者 ), or dictionary compilers.
The flight of the spacecraft recently might help put .some new words into orbit.
     One of them is a western media coinage used to refer to the Chinese astronauts. It is a combination of the Chinese pinyin "taikong", meaning space, and the English "astronaut", from classical Greek: "star sailor/navigator", for people who was going into space as a career.
In the Reuters and AP reports of October 15, "taikonaut" was used as a proper noun. For
example:
    The long March 2F rocket carrying "taikonaut" Yang Liwei lifted off into a clear blue sky over the
Gobi desert at 9 a.m. and entered its orbit 10 minutes later.
    A Long March 2F rocket called the Shenzhou V—"divine ship" in Chinese --carried a single
"taikonaut" named Yang Liwei, 38, following Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin and American Alan Shepard in 1961.
    The word "taikonaut" is not a newly coined term. It first emerged in November, 1999, when China
launched its first unmanned "Shenzhou 1" spacecraft.
    At that time, .some English news media predicted(推测) that China would soon launch a manned space flight and created the word "taikonaut" for the Chinese astronauts. It was then borrowed by the German media.
    But it was left out of mainstream dictionaries, such as the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and
Cambridge Advanced English Learner's Dictionary.
    However, the launch of the "Shenzhou V" will most likely help boost its status since there is
already a word referring specifically to Russian astronauts in the dictionary entry.
     An astronaut of Russian(or the former Soviet Union) is called a "cosmonaut", from the Russian
"kosmonaut". The word was derived from classical Greek. "kosmonaut" (universal) and "nautes".
One might argue that "cosmonaut" is a Russian variation on the earlier word astronaut .
     On March 14, 1995, US astronaut Norman Thagard became the first American to ride into space
on-board, a Russian launch vehicle, arguably making him the first American cosmonaut.
     And if this trend of coinage continues, more English variations for astronaut will appear as more
countries are able to send their own astronauts into outer space, what would Western journalists call
an astronaut from India or Africa? We' 11 have to wait to see.
57. Which of the following best suits the passage as a title?
     A. Why to Create the Word "Astronaut"?
     B. Why to Make a Lot of Variations for "Taikonaut"?
     C. How to Tell a “Taikonaut “ from an Astronaut?
     D. How to Call Astronauts from Different Countries?
58. Which is the right statement in the following sentence?
     A. The word "taikonaut" was born with the launch of "Shenzhou V" spacecraft.
     B. Yang Liwei, Yuri Gagarin and Alan Shepard are all excellent taikonauts.
     C. The American newspapers such as Reuters coined the word "taikonaut".
D. Some new words have widely been put into use with the launch of the "Shenzhou V"
spacecraft.
