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，从每题所级的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers (探险者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why," they asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don' t even use your inner space?"
H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The "Chunnel", a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.
But what about underground cities? Japan' s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called "Alice Cities." The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth' s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells' "moon people" would agree. Would you?
56. The explorers in H. G. Wells' story were surprised to find that the "moon people"
A. knew so much about the earth
B. understood their language
C. lived in so many underground cities
D. were ahead of them in space technology
57. What does the underlined word "it" (paragraph 2) refer to?
A. Discovering the moon' s inner space. B. Using the earth's inner space.
C. Meeting the "moon people" again. D. Traveling to outer space.
58. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?
A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations. B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
C. Gardens, car parks, power stations. D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.
59. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Alice Cities - cities of the future B. Space travel with H. G. Wells
C. Enjoy living underground D. Building down, not up
B
Handshaking, though a European practice is often seen in big cities of China. Nobody knows exactly when the practice started in Europe. It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met, they showed their unarmed (无武器的) hands to each other as a sign of goodwill. As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly, people in cities began to clap each other’s hands to make a deal or to reach an agreement. This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other. “Let’s shake (hands) on it” sometimes means agreement reached.
Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet? No. Sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite. It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party, especially when it is a woman, shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or-her. Even if, for politeness, he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand, just touch it slightly- There is generally a misunderstanding (误解) among the Chinese that westerners are usually open
and straightforward, while the Chinese are rather reserved (保守的) in manner. But in fact some people in western countries more reserved than some Chinese today. So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in further relations with you.
60. In the old days in Europe, people put out their unarmed hands to each other ______.
A. to make a deal B. to greet each other
C. to show friendliness D. to reach an agreement
61. The first paragraph mainly tells us ______.
A. where handshaking was first practised
B. how handshaking came about
C. about the relationship between handshaking and trade
D. about the practice of handshaking both in Europe and in China
62. According to the text. which of the following statements is true?
A. Westerners are more reserved than the Chinese.
B. Westerners are unwilling to shake hands.
C. We should make a judgment before shaking hands.
D. We shouldn’t shake hands with European women.
63. The main purpose of the text is ______.
A. to tell us some differences between the East and the West
B. to offer us some important facts about handshaking
C. to introduce us to some different customs in the West
D. to give us some advice before we travel abroad

The Man Who Never Puts a Foot Wrong
Some people do not like anything to be out of place; they are never late for work; they return their books to the library on time; they remember people’s birthdays; and they pay their bills as soon as they arrive. Mr. Dodds is such a person.
Mr. Dodds works in a bank, and lives on his own. The only family he has is in the next town: his sister lives there with her husband, and her son, Mark. Mr. Dodds does not see his sister, or her family, from one year to the next, but he sends the Christmas cards, and he has not forgotten one of Mark’s seventeen birthdays.
Last week Mr. Dodds had quite a surprise. He drove home from the bank at the usual time, driving neither too slowly nor too fast; he parked his car where he always parked it, out of the way of other cars, and he went inside to make his evening meal. Straight away, there was a knock at the door. Mr. Dodds opened the door, to find a policeman standing on the door-step.
“What have I done wrong?” Mr. Dodds asked himself. “Have I driven on the wrong side of the road? Has there been some trouble at the bank? Have I forgotten to pay an important bill?”
“Hello, Uncle,” said the policeman. “My name is Mark.”
64. The man who never puts a foot wrong means a person who ____.
A. never puts a foot into others’ places
B. always walks in a certain way
C. like doing things regularly and following rules
D. does everything carefully
65. From the passage we know that his sister ____ .
A. is the only member of the family that he knows
- never writes back to him
- lives in the next town with her husband and son
- has a small family: a son and Mark, her husband
66. “He has not forgotten one of Mark’s seventeen birthday” means ____ .
- he has not forgotten Mark’s seventeen birthday
- he sent Mark something on his seventeen birthday
- he always sent a Christmas card on Mark’s birthday
- he always sent Mark something on his birthday
67. The policeman was there ____ .

D
Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary(暂时的). This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation — for example, a family problem, the death of a love one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic(长期的)loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, e.g. friends, family members, co-workers, etc… We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity.
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serous illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of lift, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.
68. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?
A. Talk to.
B. Just ignore it.
C. Go to see a doctor.
D. Ask your teachers for guidance.
69. The underlined “it” in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to _____ .
A. temporary loneliness
B. sleeplessness
C. a new place
D. situational loneliness
70. The topic of the fourth paragraph is that _____ .
A. one problem of loneliness is a person’s social contacts
B. we depend on various people for different reasons
C. lonely people don’t have many social problems
D. lonely people don’t have many friends
71. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Three Kinds of Loneliness
B. Loneliness and Diseases
C. Loneliness and Social Contacts
D. Chronic Loneliness

A child' s birthday party doesn't have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months.
"Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents, and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement. But it really doesn't have to be that way," said Anaclerio. Last summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Carlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old, founded a home party-planning business called "A Party in a Basket." Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything.
Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created (制作) 10 ready-to-use, home party packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket.
"Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10," Anaclerio said, "and they' re very interactive (互动) and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject. For example, at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream creations."
The standard $ 200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with invitations, gifts, games and prizes, paper goods, a party planner and the like. For more information, call Anaclerio at 708-864-6584 or Carlisle at 708-205-9141.
72. The main purpose of writing this text is________.
A. to share information about party planning B. to introduce the joys of a birthday party
C. to announce a business plan D. to sell a service
73. The most important idea behind the kind of party planning described here is that________.
A. it brings parents and children closer together
B. guests play a part in the preparation of a party
C. parents are spared the trouble of sending invitations
D. it provides a subject of conversation
74. What does the underlined word "hassle" (paragraph 1 ) probably mean?
A. a party designed by specialists
B. a plan requiring careful thought
C. a situation causing difficulty or trouble
D. a demand made by guests
75. Which of the following is most likely to be a party planner?

Dear Jianhua ,
I’m very glad to have received the letter you sent me two weeks ago . I’ve been thinking about the question you asked me . In my opinion , you should come back after you finish your studies abroad . For one reason , what you are studying is badly needed nowadays in China . It will be quite easy for you to find a good job . In fact , I know a few big companies in our city are hoping to hire people like you . For another reason , I think it will be much more convenient for you to look after your parents as they are getting old . Therefore , I think it’s a good idea for you to return . So what are you waiting for ?
Best wishes ,
