Ⅳ.阅读理解

There are many times I feel close to going crazy in Beijing. The overhooting horns and the dangerous driving of local drivers are slowly driving us cyclists to extinction, here in the bicycle capital of the world.
What keeps me conscious is my weekly session with some of Beijing's warmest souls. We meet at the English corner in the Chaoyang Library. There, all topics are open for discussion. We usually talk about family and business, two Chinese priorities across all age groups, I've discovered. There are always plenty of requests to explain European religion and culture. Some, however, like one of my older students, 80yearold Mr Gou, prefer to sing in English.
Lately we've talked about the 60th anniversary celebrations and I'm lucky in the diversity of ages that I get a good sample of what China's thinking. Most look forward to the time off, some have been inconvenienced (by their offices being shut to make way for rehearsals) and some worry about the cost of it.
I sometimes feel that even a 60yearold China is still not very well known or understood. Foreign friends with little time to spare on business and tourist visits to Beijing complain about the similar things：aggressive driving, bad air and a lot of ostentatious displays of wealth such as big cars, paunches and loud shirts.
It's a shame, because those are the conspicuous minority. To know Beijing you have to make an effort to meet and talk to majority—the likes of retired Doctor Rose, who runs the English corner, or Mr Tang, the retired railway station inspector. These are friendly, knowable folks with all the patience possible to explain and share China with a curious foreigner. I feel very lucky to have them to talk and listen to.
They'll likely never—or rarely—step into a Starbucks. Their means are modest and they don't have any flashy cars to park on the footpath. No, but they'll teach you priceless, disappearing Beijing knowledge and crafts. They'll invite you to eat jiaozi and play shuttlecock. And on October 1, I marked the big 60th birthday with them, the ordinary, kind people of Beijing.

D．Only when you talk to people can you know Beijing better.
答案：A 细节理解题。从第一段的第二句可知：北京司机危险的车技使人们逐渐不再骑自行车。故选A项。
3．What can we learn about the 60th anniversary celebrations?
A．The writer can predict what China's thinking.
B．Most people think the 60th anniversary celebrations worthless.
C．Some people may be concerned about sideeffects of the 60th anniversary celebrations.
D．People will teach you priceless, disappearing Beijing knowledge and crafts.

The Japanese economy is at a standstill, Japan's government has said, as concerns about the strong yen continue to grow. The recovery in the economy was “pausing”， the Cabinet Office said in a monthly statement.
It is the most negative that the government has been about the economy is nearly two years. The rising yen and a slowdown in global demand for Japanese exports were blamed for the setback.
In recent months, the government has insisted that the economy is “picking up”. But it said it now expected the economy is “picking up”. But it said it now expected the economy to remain weak for some time, with “weakening” exports being a chief concern. It said shipments to Asia in particular were becoming weaker, further hitting exporters that are already suffering from the strong yen.
The yen remains near a 15year high against the US dollar, despite the financial interference (干预) in the currency markets last month for the first time in six years.
Japanese Prime Minsiter Naoto Kan (菅直人) has also passed a $63 billion stimulus (刺激) package in an effort to protect exporters who have seen the poor exchange rate eat into their profits. At the close of markets in Tokyo, the yen was trading at 81.44 yen to the dollar, just off the high of 81.27 yen.
“If the economy turns out expected, we may end up describing the current situation as a soft patch，” one of the government officials said, “But if it comes under further downward pressure, it could end up slipping into recession (衰退)．”
日本经济陷于停滞，日元的不断升值和出口量的下降是造成这种现象的主要原因。
6．The Japanese government think the current back economy situation is partly due to ________.
A．the decline of the strong yen
B．the unsatisfactory exports
C．the government's mistaken policy
D．the decline in the quality of goods
答案：B 事实细节题。由文中第二段中的“The rising yen and a slowdown in global demand for Japanese exports were balmed for the setback”以及第三段中的“But it said it now expected the economy to remain weak for some time, with‘weakning’ exports being a chief concern”可知日元的不断升值和出口量下降导致了经济停滞，故B项正确，A项错在decline。
7．In recent months, the government has a(n) ________ attitude towards the economy situation.
A．shocking
B．negative
C．optimistic
D．aggressive
答案：C 推理判断题。由文章第三段以及最后一段内容可知，日本政府对经济的复苏持乐观态度。
8．From the passage we know the government has taken measures mainly to ________.
A．protect the foreign markets
B．protect profits of its exporters
C．monitor the yen exchange rate
D．stimulate domestic demands
答案：B 事实细节题。由文章第五段第一句中的“...also passed a $63 billion stimulus (刺激) package in an effort to protect exporters who have seen the poor exchange rate eat into their profits.”可得到答案为B。
9．The passage could probably be found in ________.
A．a government white paper
B．a science fiction
C．a travel journal
D．a newspaper report
答案：A 推理判断题。根据文章内容可判断这是一篇关于日本经济的政府文件，故选择A项。
