第三部分: 阅读理解(共20小题; 每小题2分,满分40分)
A
Everyone has got two personalities –--- the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn (顽固的) ,but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep on curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.
56. According to the writer, you naturally show your secret and real personality _______.
A. only in a normal night
B. only when you go to sleep
C. only when you refuse to show yourself to the world
D. only when you change sleeping position
57. Maybe you don’t want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up. Why?
A. He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.
B. He or she is rarely ready to help you.
C. He or she prefers staying at home to going out.
D. He or she wouldn’t like to get help from you.
58. It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because _____
A. he or she always shows sympathy for people
B. he or she is confident, but not stubborn
C. he or she has more strengths than weakness
D. he or she often considers annoying people
B
Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey (曲棍球), golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different thing that it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than men. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of efforts, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
59. Mountaineering is a sport which involves______.
A. hardship B. cold C. physical risk D. all of the above
60. The main difference between a sport and a game has something to do with the kind of_____.
A. uniform B. activity C. rules D. participants
61. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because________ .
A. it is an Olympic event
B. teams compete against each other
C. mountaineers depend on each other while climbing
D. there are 5 climbers on each team
62. Mountaineers compete against ______.
A. each other. B. nature. C. other teams. D. international standards.
63. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and Football.
B. Mountain Climbers.
C. Mountaineering .
D. Mountaineering Is More Attractive than Other Sports
C
Given a good shopping position and the right amount of money available, an educated person ought to be able to make a small steady living out of a bookshop. It isn’t a difficult trade to learn and the large chain-stores can never force the small independent bookseller out of existence as they have done to the corner shop and the local milkman. But the hours of work are very long—I was only a part-time employee, but my employer put in a seventy-hour week, apart from regular journeys out of shopping hours to buy books. It is an unhealthy life, too. As a rule, a bookshop is very cold in winter, because if it is too warm, the windows get steamed up, and a bookseller depends on the display in his windows trying to attract customers into his shop. Books give off more dust and dirtier dust than anything else yet invented, and the top of a book is the place where every fly prefers to die.
But the real reason why I should not like to be back in the book trade in life is that while I was in it, I lost my love of books. A bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his books, and that gives him a dislike for them; still worse is the fact that he is always dusting them and moving them to-and-fro. There was a time when I really did love books—loved the sight and smell and feel of them— if they were fifty or more years old, that is. Nothing pleased me so much as to buy a bargain lot of them for 50 pence at a country auction（拍卖）sale. There is a peculiar flavor （滋味）about the knocked-about unexpected books you pick up in that kind of collection: little known eighteenth-century poets, out-of-date geography books, one or two volumes（卷）of forgotten novels. For occasional reading—in your bath, for instance, or late at night when you are too tired to go to bed—there is nothing as good as a very old picture story book.
But as soon as I went to work in the bookshop, I stopped buying books. Seen in a mass, five or ten thousand at a time, books were dull and even a little sickening. Nowadays I do buy one occasionally, but only if it is a book that I want to read and can’t borrow, and I never buy rubbish.
64.Why is running a bookshop a good way to earn a living ?
A. The work is enjoyable.
B. The work is easy.
C. There are large numbers of customers.
D. The owner will never be forced out of business by bigger shops.
65.Why are bookshops unpleasant places to work in according to the writer ?
A. They are dusty. , ; B. The smell is bad.
C. They are crowded. D. They are too warm.
66.What made the writer stop buying books when he was working in a bookshop?
A. He could borrow the books he wanted.
B. He could read books at work.
C. He lost his interest in books.
D. He always owned many books.
67.Why does the writer says he occasionally buys a particular book ?
A. He has read it and wants to have it.
B. It interests him and can’t be borrowed from anywhere.
C. The book is highly valuable.
D. The book is especially cheap.
D
Acceptance for settlement in Britain does not, however, mean full citizenship. Naturalization (the giving of a citizenship) can only take place when certain conditions have been fulfilled, including a specific period of residence (居住) . New conditions for naturalization and a new definition of British citizenship are contained in the recent Nationality Act, introduced by the conservative government in 1981-1982.
It must be admitted that many people in Britain are worried by the way in which so many immigrants, particularly those with different religious and racial backgrounds, have been permitted to settle in such large numbers. They see them as threat to traditional British social, moral and cultural values. Tensions in some city areas between youths of different racial backgrounds have not helped to calm these fears. There is also growing concern about immigrant numbers in relation to unemployment and overcrowding.
Fears about overcrowding, however, should be balanced by British emigration statistics. In the decade 69-79 Britain lost nearly half a million people. A third of these returned to their native countries, the rest settled overseas in places like the United States, Canada and New Zealand.
Most of today’s immigrants are hardworking and are determined to accept the most of all that Britain has to offer. Many of them are employed in public services like railways and hospitals; almost half the doctors in the National Health Services are, in fact, from the new Common Wealth (英联邦国家) . On the whole, immigrants and certainly their children born in Britain are becoming mixed with the wider British Community. At the same time they are able to keep their religious and cultural roots. In this way, they contribute to the interesting variety of Britain’s multi-racial society.
68.To become a Britain citizen, one has to ________.
A. apply for the citizenship to the local authority
B. settle down in Britain
C. live in Britain for a specific period of time
D. obey the recent Nationality Act
69.Which of the following is NOT the right reason why many people in Britain are worried?
A. The problems of unemployment and overcrowding have become serious.
B. So many immigrants have been permitted to settle down.
C. So many immigrants have different religious and racial backgrounds.
D. It is difficult to be given citizenship.
70.Fears about overcrowding should be______ if one considers the changes in the number of Britain’s immigrants.
A. less strong B. increased C. decreased. D. kept in mi, nd
71.Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Present State of Immigrants in Britain.
B. The Effect of the New Nationality Act.
C. Fears about Immigration in Britain.
D. Contributions of Immigrants in Britain.

“The pen is more powerful than the sword（刀）.” There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.
She was born in the U.S.A. in 1811.One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the enslaved race. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.
This book that shook the world was called Uncle Tom's Cabin. There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse (唤起) people's sympathies. The author herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the book, which they said did not at all represent true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired by it that they were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.
72.According to the passage______.
A. every English-speaking person has read Uncle Tom's Cabin
B. Uncle Tom's Cabin was not very interesting
C. those who don't speak English cannot have read Uncle Tom's Cabin
D. the book Uncle Tom's Cabin did a great deal in the American Civil War
73.What do you learn about Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe from the passage?
A. She had been living in the north of America before the American Civil War broke out.
B. She herself encouraged the Northern Americans to go to war to set the slaves free.
C. She was better as writing as swinging (挥舞) a sword.
D. She had once been a slave.
74.Why could Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe's book cause a civil war in America?
A. She wrote so well that Americans loved her very much.
B. She disclosed the terrible wrongs that had been done to the slaves in the Southern States.
C. The Southern Americans hated the book while the Northern Americans like it.
D. The book had been read by many Americans.
75.What can we learn from the passage?
A. We needn't use weapons (武器) to fight things that are wrong.
B. A writer is more helpful in a war than a soldier.
C. We must understand the importance of literature and art.
D. No war can be won without such a book as Uncle Tom's Cabin.

More and more Chinese middle school students have gone abroad to study since the 1990s. As many language learners say, spending a time abroad is the best way to study a language. Studying abroad may have a lot of advantages. The students usually become fluent in the language and can make friends with people from different backgrounds and have a good knowledge of another culture. They can also broaden their horizons and improve their understanding of their own culture while studying abroad .Besides, they have to learn to depend on themselves.
Of course, studying abroad may have its disadvantages as well. It is possible that some of them may fall behind in their studies. On the other hand, some students may feel it unsafe to stay abroad on their own. Moreover, their parents may be concerned about the cost.
In my opinion, the students had better finish their college education in China and then go abroad to experience another education and culture . If parents do hope to send their children to study abroad, I advise them to look before they leap.
