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 A、B、C、D四个选项中， 选出最佳选项。
A
The fan has always been far more than a cooling device. It is interesting to note
that it has long been called a “fly-whisk”. Early fans were sometimes mentioned in
royal wills as tools used to drive the flies away from the king’s table.
Women in Europe found fans useful in romance. A pair of eyes above a beautiful fan went straight to a man’s heart. A quick movement of the fan, or of the eyelids at the right time, carried a message only love could understand.
But fans also have had their secret plan. Marat, the French revolutionary leader, was killed in his bath by Charlotte Corday who held a fan to hide the knife with which she stabbed him. Old pictures show fans being used to hide a letter, to mask a face, and to cover a whisper.
King Louise XVI of France carried a great feather fan, as did many men of his court. Only in recent years did the fan become a woman’s implement.
Fans were used, too, to dramatize (呈现) news; some showed the latest balloon flight, a new play, a leading person. They have figured in the world’s great plays and books. Shakespeare talks of fans, while in the Arabian Nights, in the tale known as “The Sleeper Awakened”, it is told that about Hassan sat at a fine dinner table where he was fanned by seven beautiful women with feather fans.
The Arabians, who had fans for 2,000 years, used to place religious writings on them. And school boys in Japan wrote notes on them. Japan’s iron-and-leather fans were useful, in emergency, as weapons of defense! In India, fans have been held in respect---along with umbrellas.
But men seemed to have overlooked one great value in their fans: therapy ( 治疗). Nothing is more refreshing to tired men, women and children than a breeze (gentle wind) across the face. Men discover this when they turn their face to a breeze on a hilltop, a cooling wind across a desert on a hot day. It brings new heart, new vigor, new courage. So, in a small but important way, mankind’s fans have helped him for thousands of years.
56. Romantic women in Europe used their fans to______.
A. cover a whisper B. carry a message of love
C. hide a knife D. mask a face
57. “They have figured in the world’s great plays and books .” the underlined sentence can be the closest in meaning to the following statement ______.
A. the characters in the world’s great literary works have become famous.
B. the world’s great literary works have appealed to the public because of the fans
C. the fans have appeared in the world’s famous literary works.
D. the fans in the world famous literary works are unimaginable to people.
58. The underlined word “implement” in paragraph 4 may refer to_____.
A. a musical instrument B. an example
C. a tool D. an image
59. What, according to the writer, is the one great value of the fan?
A. Healing power B. Emergency
C. Umbrella D. sending a message
60. It can be inferred that fans_____.
A. have lost their values B. are more important than ever before
C. will be still of help for man D. will be ignored in the near future.
B
How soon will it be before robots become so intelligent that they will be able to do jobs which at the moment only human beings can do, such as teaching languages or looking after patients in hospital? Some experts believe this will happen within 20 years while others disagree.
One London company, UAS(Universal Automated Systems), has already developed machines that can be used as “home-helps” for old people unable to look after themselves and who are living on their own or in special homes. These machines can now do such things as cook eggs and clean the floor, and the company says that future models will accept simple voice instructions and be controlled by a “brain” that is the same with of the latest IBM microcomputer. The director of UAS, Mr. Henry Jeffries, believes that in the next five to ten years companies will have developed even more advanced robots for use in industry. By the time, it is likely that they also have begun to sell new forms of these machines into ordinary homes. Robots can do a wide range of household tasks, such as preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and so on. By then, the price of such machines may have come down to as little as $1,000.
But Dr. Sandra Lomax, who has done research into artificial intelligence at Sussex University and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) believes we have a long way to go before we can develop truly intelligent machines.
“Preparing an omellette may seem easy enough. But suppose one of the eggs has gone bad. Even the most ‘intelligent’ robot would probably still use it. If something slightly unusual needs doing, something that requires even a little bit of ordinary human imagination, a robot is useless. They need programming for even the simplest of tasks and are incapable of learning from experience. And teaching a robot how to recognize a bad egg is far more difficult than teaching it to prepare the omellete the egg goes into,” she says.
61. Up to now, robots that have been developed are_____.
A. as intelligent as man
B. not as intelligent as man
C. more intelligent than man
D. capable of doing things that require unusual human imagination.
62. Dr Sandra Lomax thinks that_____.
A. we will soon be able to develop truly intelligent machines.
B. we will be able to program a robot to learn from experience.
C. no robot will ever be able to prepare an omelette.
D. making an omlette is much easier for a robot than recognizing a bad egg.
63. A robot can do the following household tasks EXCEPT______.
A. washing dishes B. cleaning the house
C. preparing an omelette D. telling a bad egg from good ones
64. The director of UAS believes that in the next five to ten years new forms of machines will______.
A. cost much less than $1,000.
B. be used more in ordinary homes than in industry.
C. be very much cheaper than today.
D. be widely used in almost every household
65. The main idea of the passage is ____.
A. robots have already been used as “home-helps” for old people.
B. robots can be used both in industry and at home.
C. robots have to be programmed to do the simplest of tasks.
D. scientists differ in opinion as to when truly intelligent robots can be developed.
C
Every couple who goes to the altar（圣坛）believes that they will make that trip only once in their lives. They want the day to be perfect, and they are asking for much more than good weather. They want the most beautiful clothes, the freshest flowers. Moreover, her family who will foot the bill is not in any mood to economize.
A quick look at any bride magazine will find that plenty of attractive goods and services compete for a share of the wedding budget. Besides the obvious choices of rings, dresses, flowers, and photos, there are the less obvious expenses: a large cake, a prepared and big dinner, a reception, music for both the ceremony and reception, tips, and even napkins and matchbooks printed with the couple’s names and wedding date.
As the arrangements are generally complicated, there are plenty of services that can be hired to help with the planning carrying out every aspect of the wedding: planning the photos, selecting the wedding rings, choosing the flowers, picking the honeymoon spot, and so on. One magazine lists over 350 such pamphlets published of course by businesses that have something to offer. Considering that weddings do more than 12 billion dollars worth of business annually in the US alone, such activity isn’t surprising.
What is surprising is that no one company dominates（主导）the industry. It seems that when people plan for a day as special to them as a wedding, they resist standardization. They turn instead to the small local suppliers known to them and their friends. Family members or friends often serve as photographers, and musicians. This not only helps bring the wedding cost down, but makes it more personal.
What about the couple that doesn’t want to take in this billion-dollar industry? They can go to the city hall and get married for less than the price of a hamburger.
66. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “foot the bill” in paragraph 1?
A. play football B. bring the bill
C. approve the bill D. pay the bill
67. According to the passage, if a couple gets married in the city hall, they will____.
A. believe that they will make this trip only once in their lives.
B. have to ask their families and friends to help.
C. have to buy a hamburger.
D. save a huge amount of money.
68. A bride magazine is one ______.
A. in which goods and services needed for weddings are offered for brides to choose
B. in which all kinds of bride pictures are shown to attract young couples
C. which contains a lot of bride stories
D. which is bought by brides only
69. The writer’s attitude towards the business of weddings appears to be_____.
A. positive B. negative C. indifferent D. objective
D

Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book lover, or merely there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust jacket is irresistible (不可抗拒), although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you end up with a rather dull book. You soon become absorbed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment –without buying a book, of course.
This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable (不可避免的) greeting: “Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished looking through the bookshelves. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire carefully and look as if not interested in selling a single book.
You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on, say, ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best selling novel and perhaps a book about brass rubbing –something which had only slightly interested you up till then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well written and part of the text you read proved so interesting, that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section. Booksellers must be both long-suffering and indulgent (放任).
73. You may spend too much time in a bookshop because_____.
A. the dust-jackets are very attractive
B. you start reading one of the books
C. you can partly become aware of your surroundings
D. you have to make sure you don’t buy a dull book
74. In a good bookshop an assistant should_____.
A. find an opportunity to avoid the realities of everyday life
B. get close to a customer with an acceptable greeting
C. offer you his help only when you have finished looking through the bookshelves
D. remain a distance from a customer and look as if interested in selling a book
75. Why does the author think it is dangerous for people to go into a shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying one on some other topics?
A. Because he or she thinks you should choose your book carefully and make a final decision.
B. Because he or she thinks getting a book from a bookshop without any specific purposes can cause a loss of your money as well as your time.
C. Because he or she thinks a copy of the latest best selling novel or book is worth the price but not easy to bring it home.
D. Because he or she thinks the shop assistant approaches a booklover close enough and brings about a suspicion（怀疑）from the customer.

W: Dad, you love me, don’t you?
M: Of course, I do. Why do you ask…Ah, what’ s on your mind ?
W: Well, I saw this great offer for a free cell phone here in the newspaper, and…
M: Free? Nothing’s ever free.
W: Well, the phone is free…after a $50 mail-in rebate.
M: Ah, so that’s the catch. And why do you need a cell phone anyway?
W: Dad. All my friends have one, and I can use it to call you in case the car breaks down.
M: Ah, I don’t know. There are always so many fees.
W: But the monthly charge for this service is only $29.99, with 1,000 free weekday minutes nationwide, and unlimited weekend minutes. Plus, unlimited, anytime minutes for anyone using the same service.
M: I don’t know.
W: And you can roll over the extra minutes to the next month instead of just losing them. What do you think of that?
M: Yes, but what is the term of the service agreement?
W: It’s only for six months.
M: But what if you cancel early?
W: Um…Ah, there is a cancellation fee of $200, but with…
M: 200 bucks!
W: Yeah, you won’t have to worry about me while I’m driving the new car.
M: New car? What new car?
W: The new car you’ll need to buy so I can use the cell phone. I mean, what’s it gonna look like if I’m using a cell phone in our old lemon.
M: Teenagers. What will they think of next?

You usually hear a British-sounding accent when a south African is speaking. Many of the ancestors of the English speakers in South Africa came originally from Britain. But in South Africa, many native language words also influence English. This may be because English is but one of South Africa’s 11 official languages.
If a South African invites you to a “braai”, you’re going to a barbecue .And if you want to meet someone at the barbecue , introduce yourself by saying “howzit”, which means “hello”. Canadians speak English much like their American neighbours. But when the cold northern winter arrives, Canadians don’t wear hats---- they reach for their warm “toques” instead. And Canadians often add “eh”? to the end of a sentence. ‘How ‘s it going, eh?” is a famous Canadian greeting.

书面表达
Possible writing:
Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we recently have had about whether we should know our parents’ income.
We do have different opinions about this matter. About 70% of the students think we should know our parents’ income since it will help us understand how hard our parents have to work, no matter how much they earn .Then we will study harder and waste money no longer. We may also learn to share our parents’ trouble.
The rest think it unnecessary to know their income. If they know their parents have enough to support the family, they will not study hard and never worry about their own future, which sometimes leads to a wasteful habit.
Yours truly,
Zhang Cheng
