III.　　　　  阅读理解.(34’,每小题2分)

A

　　 London—A morning’s train rides away across the Channel. English kids talk about Liverpool’s soccer team in a Paris pub.

　　 Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London.

In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival cities, London and Paris, in A Tale of Two Cities. These days, it might be “A Tale of One City.”

Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor’s broken French and respond in polite English.

As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between the two cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.

Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.

“For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,” said Trevor Wheeler, a banker.

Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. “I am French, but I’ll stay in London,” she said.

There is, of course, the other view. Jula Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. “I think people laugh more in Paris,” she said.

In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.

“Both cities have changed beyond recognition,” said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner.

Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably.

“ I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and it is still a wonderful place,” Collins said.

“But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.”

But certainly not cheaper.

In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.

Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.

Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don’t have to choose.

“I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is so structured,” she said. “In London, you can be who you want. No one cares.”

47. The best title for this passage is ______.

A.　　 Londoners and Parisians　　　

B.　　 B. A Modern Tale of Two Cities

C.　　 The Similarity of Two Cities

D.　　 Fancy London and Fashionable Paris

48. We can infer from the text that ______.

A.　　Paris and London have become perfect partners

B.　　London feels more full of life

C.　　Life in Paris is structured

D.　　Paris and London have become fierce competitors

49. The underlined word “flocked” probably means ______.

A.　　came in a large numbers

B.　　flew a long way

C.　　more attractive people

D.　　drove long distances

50. Living in Paris, you may find _____-.

　 A. life is better　　　　　　　B. things are cheaper

　 C. more attractive people　　　D. a job easily

51. From the passage we can know ______ .

A.　　 the two cities have developed very fast

B.　　 London is better than Paris now

C.　　 Paris is a favorite place for all journalism students

D.　　 People in both London and Paris now lead a regular life

B

　　　 An antifreeze is a liquid that is added to water to keep it from freezing. When water freezes and turns to ice, it expands. The force of water of expanding is so great that it will break the hardest metal. Water is used in car engines to keep them cool while they run, and if this water is allowed to freeze in winter it can break the iron block of the engine. That is why antifreezes are necessary.

Water freezes at 0℃; the usual kind of antifreeze will not freeze until the temperature is 40℃ below zero. A mixture of five parts of water and four parts of antifreezes will prevent freezing at 18℃ below zero; four parts of water and five parts of antifreezes reduce this to 22 ℃ below zero.

　 Alcohol is a good antifreeze, but when the car is running, it becomes hot and the alcohol burns away, so it must be replaced very often. Most people use antifreezes that do not boil away when the engine is running. There are several chemicals that do this. One of the most popular is called ethylene glycol(乙二醇) which is sold under various trade names such as Prestone and Zerex.

52. The text is written ______.

A.　　 as an advertisement of Preston and Zerex

B.　　 to explain what antifreezes are

C.　　 to tell what kind of antifreeze to choose

D.　　 to compare ethylene glycol with alcohol

53. Antifreezes are so useful that they ______.

A.　　can prevent ice from melting

B.　　keep alcohol from boiling away

C.　　keep water from freezing in very cold weather

D.　　can raise the freezing point of water

54. Alcohol is seldom used as an antifreeze because ______.

A.　　 it boils away easily

B.　　 it is too expensive

C.　　 it becomes hot easily

D.　　 it freezes easily

55. The expanding force of water turning into ice is ______.

A.　　 reduced at 22℃ below zero

B.　　 harmful to car engines in winter

C.　　 reduced with antifreezes

D.　　 increased in a metal container

　 You know you have to read “between the lines” to get the most out of anything. I want to persuade you to do something equally important in the course of your reading. I want to persuade you to “write between the lines.” Unless you do, you are not likely to do the most efficient kind of reading.

　 I insist, quite bluntly, that marking up a book is not an act of damage but of love.

　 There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is the property right you establish by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But this act of buying is only the first step to possession. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it. A comparison may make the point clear. You buy a piece of beef and transfer it from the butcher’s icebox to your own. But you do not own the beef in the most important sense until you eat it and get it into your blood. I am arguing that books, too, must be absorbed in your blood to do you any good.

　　 There are three kinds of book owners. The first has all the standard sets and bestsellers—unread, untouched. The second has a great many books—a few of them read through, most of them dipped into, but all of them as clean and shiny as the day they were bought. The third has a few books or many—every one of them worn, shaken and loosened by continual use, marked and scribbled in from front to back.

Why is marking up a book necessary to read it? First, it keeps you awake. 9And I don’t mean only conscious; I mean wide awake.) In the second place, reading, if it is active, is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. The marked book is usually the thought-through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed.

60. The third kind of owners of books must be ______.

　 A. experienced readers　　　　 B. untidy readers

　 C. active readers　　　　　　　D. careless readers

61. Marking up a book means ______.

A.　　 writing down difficult sentences

B.　　 finding the extra meanings of unknown words

C.　　 writing in the margin the ideas you get through careful reading

D.　　 making notes to show you understand what you have read

62. What does the author persuade you to mark?

A.　　 Whatever you have given deep thought to while reading.

B.　　 Words and sentences that bring up rich ideas.

C.　　 Primary questions that challenge you.

D.　　 Whatever disagreements you may have with the book.

63. A great advantage of marking up a book is ______.

A.　　 to absorb all the brilliant ideas it contains

B.　　 to make yourself a part of it, making further inquiry easy

C.　　 to make yourself conscious that you are reading actively

D.　　 to enable yourself to pick up the book for continual reading
