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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Did you ever notice that when you’re fat, men don’t look you in the eye? They look across your shoulder. There’s no eye contact.
My name is Leslie. I am a real person. Up until two years ago, I was never looked in the eye, by anyone.
I was too tired to be a lover to my husband. I was falling asleep by 8 o’clock most evenings. When I did go out for an evening. my husband was ashamed of me. And he said so to my face. When I walked, my thighs scrape together. I couldn’t even cross my legs. I was fat. Not just“overweight”Fat. I was 5’55” tall and weighed 205 pounds.
About 18 months ago, my husband Darrell left a “Dear Leslie”letter on my bed and asked for divorce.
I went to a psychologist for advice. I knew that my weight was the source of my troubles. But I’d tried 14 different diets, at which I failed one by one.
He listened carefully and recommended an entirely different program. This was not a “diet.”It was a unique new weight-loss program researched by a team of specialists who help to treat the severely fat. I entered the program. Within the first four days, I lost only three pounds. So I was disappointed. But during the three weeks that followed, my weight began to drop from 205 pounds to 124 pounds. To me it was a miracle.
The reason the program worked was simple. I was always eating. I could eat six times every day. I could snack in the afternoon. Snack before dinner. I could even have snack at night while watching TV.
How can you eat so much and still lose weight?
The secret is in the combination of foods, approved by the research team, which you eat in each 24 hour period. You will enjoy a variety of meats, chicken, fish, vegetables, potatoes, sauces. Even some light wine or beer if you wish. But be sure to have them in the right proportion（比例）…thus a complete 24-hour fat-reduction cycle is formed.
Without hunger, without nervousness, it lets you lose pounds so easily. Once you lose the weight, you’ll keep it off. Forever, I am sure of that.

A．had never looked anybody in their eyes.

Who are the most beautiful women in the world? Looking at the records, people might think Venezuelan women are. They win the Miss Latin America. Miss Universe, and Miss World contests more frequently than women from any other country. In Venezuela, the term“Miss”as in“Miss Universe”is an honored title.
These days, people in some cultures consider beauty contests to be silly. They have tried to stop these contests, saying the contests treat women as objects and place too much importance on women’s looks. But in Latin America, beauty contests are a source of pride.
Are Venezuelan women really more beautiful than other women?“They are not really more beautiful here,”says Selena, who trains girls for the contest.“It’s just that the girls here work harder and prepare more than anyone else.”
The preparation takes many hours a day. The contestants stretch their bodies and practice their walks down the runway. They work on their speeches and practice answering questions such as“Whom do you admire most in the world?”They starve to stay slim. They take classes to learn how to style their hair and apply make-up.
It isn’t easy. One Miss Universe winner immediately put on 20 thousand pounds after the contest was over. The cost is high as well. Fortunately the television station that holds the contest pays the cost.
Yet most of the contestants say it’s worth the effort. A former Miss Universe is now mayor of a district in a large city. Although she had no political experience before that she has been asked to run for higher political office. Another winner has her own television show . Winners have an advantage they could not get from anyone else.“It’s the only chance you have to make it,”says one contestant.“You can’t get these opportunities any other way.”

A．beauty contest around the world.

A．they gain more fame from beauty contests.
B．the money spent in beauty contests is worthwhile.
C．they gain an advantage over anyone else in politics.
D．beauty contests lead to a better career.

Frank Wright probably is the greatest architect that the United States has ever produced. He had a natural ability to design buildings. His buildings were not only beautiful, but they were also functional. They fit their purposes very well. Wright’s churches, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel comfortable, at home. However, Frank Wright’s beautiful, functional buildings are not the only reason that he is famous. There is another reason.
Frank Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wright’s buildings do not like old European buildings. They have their own style. Wright’s ideas about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.
The most important idea in Frank Wright’s style of architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it. His houses are often called“grass-land houses”because their lines are similar to the lines on the grass-land. Both the lines of the grass-land and the lines of Wright’s house are parallel（平行）to the horizon（地平线）, the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, in contrast, have many vertical（垂直的）lines that form 90 angles with the horizon.
67．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A．The influence of European Architecture on America Architecture.
B．The Buildings Designed by the Greatest Architect Frank Wright.
C．The influence of Architect Frank Wright on American Architecture.
D．Frank Wright’s Contribution to the Improvement of Environment
68．What do you know about American Architecture before Wright’s time?
A．It hadn’t formed its own style yet.
B．It was a model of modern style.
C．Most of the houses were designed by Europeans.
D．Most of the houses were practical but not good-looking.
69．What is the most important idea in Wright’s style?
A．Architecture should present a variety of designs.
B．A building must have a large grass-land around it.
C．Architecture design should match natural surroundings.
D．The function of a house is the most important in design.
70．Which of the following styles of architecture is true of Wright’s“grass-land houses”?
A．The houses appear to stand on the horizon.
B．The houses are built mainly on the grass-land.
C．The houses have many lines that form a right angle（角）with the horizon.
D．The houses are special in style with lines similar to those on the grass-land.

When Charles Strattion was five, he stopped growing. His mother took him to see the famous showman, P.T.Barnum thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show. He hired Charles’ parents along with him, and they traveled around the world together.
He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a new name, general Tom Thumb. He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act, and tell jokes. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.
During the show, Tom fought battles pretendedly with tall people. He also danced upon a wooden plate held by a person who was eight feet tall.
Tom’s act was very popular and brought in a lot of money. By the time Tom was an adult, he had grown very rich. He had become a billionaire at the age of twenty-five.
Fortunately for Tom, Mr. Barnum added more little people to his show, and Tom became lucky in love as well. One of the little people was Lavinia Warren, a school teacher. Tom was able to win her love, and they married.
The ceremony and reception were the talk of the town. They were attended by many rich and famous people and by about two thousand guests. Crowds filled the streets of New York to have a look at their tiny wedding carriage. The couple even met with President Abraham Lincoln on their honeymoon, just before going to live in Tom’s house in Connecticut.
Their wedding, which took place during the Civil War, provided a welcome escape from the sad problems of war.
