　　第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

　　(A)

　　［2012沈阳模拟］

　　Australia, the last continent, was discovered by ships belonging to European nations in the seventeenth century. These nations were less interested in changing it into a colony (殖民地) than in exploiting it. As in the early history of the United States, it was the English who set up the settlements in Australia. This history and the geography of these two British colonies have some other things in common as well.

　　Australia and the United States are about the same in size, and their western lands are both not rich in soil. It was the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west. However, this westward movement took place more because the English were searching for better land than because the population was increasing. Settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold was discovered in America in 1849 and in Australia two years later.

　　Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common, there are some striking (显著的) differences as well. The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without having to go to war. Australia, unlike the United States, was firstly turned into a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising. By 1922, for example, Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people, or almost half as many sheep as there are people today in the United States. Yet, in spite of these and other main differences, Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world.

　　56. In the early history of America and Australia, both colonies developed towards the west firstly for the reason that _______ .

　　A. the population was increasing rapidly in the east

　　B. the English thought there might be richer land there

　　C. gold was discovered there

　　D. fewer people lived there

　　57. In the early 1920s,________ .

　　A. Australia had one fifteenth as many people as sheep

　　B. there were more sheep in Australia than in the United States

　　C. the population in Australia was greater than that of the United States

　　D. the United States had twice as many sheep as people

　　58. Australia, unlike the United States,________ .

　　A. did not discover gold until the late 1840s

　　B. was the last and biggest continent to be discovered

　　C. was not rich in gold in its western part

　　D. won its independence by peaceful means

　　59. In the last paragraph, the underlined sentence means _______ .

　　A. the United States and Australia do not have any main difference

　　B. the United States and Australia have nothing in common with the rest of the world

　　C. the United States and Australia have much more in common than they have with other countries

　　D. in common with the rest of the world, the United States and Australia have a lot of differences

　　(B)

　　Standard English is the formal English that you need to use when you write in coursework or in the exam. Standard English is the form of English you learn in school. All written English should be standard — that means it should be clear enough for anyone in Britain to understand it. Standard English developed as the main form of printed English in the 15th Century. At the time, every region of Britain used to spell words differently, but printers needed a fixed spelling. Printers like Caxton chose the East Midlands dialect form which was used in London and the South East. Soon Standard English replaced all written dialect forms — the other forms of English spoken around the country. It also replaced French and Latin in law and in academic work. In the 18th Century, people wrote dictionaries and grammar books which standardized spelling — Dr. Johnson’s Dictionary of 1755 fixed many of the spellings we still use today. All written English should be Standard English — any grammar rules you learn are for Standard English and you will definitely need to learn them to avoid making mistakes in your work. The rules of Standard English mean using the correct forms of words with the correct spellings.

　　Avoid slang words — words that your teachers or friends wouldn’t understand. You’ll lose marks if the examiners can’t understand what you say or write. Don’t use dialect words. Every region has words or phrases that are only used there. Don’t use them in your coursework, because you won’t be understood. Make sure you revise grammar and punctuation you have learned, and learn the list of commonly misspelled words you have made. Clichés are ideas or sayings which have been used so often that they’ve become boring and unoriginal. Phrases like, “As good as it gets” “At the end of the day” “In the fullness of time” are all clichés. So are images like, “as fierce as a lion” “as cunning as a fox”. If you use them you will sound boring and unimaginative — that could mean you lose marks for writing and speaking style. So avoid clichés.

　　60. What three things do you have to think about when using English?

　　a. no slang word or dialect wordb. no grammar or spelling mistake

　　c. no phrase

　　d. no cliché

　　e. no punctuation

　　A. abc.

　　B. bcd.

　　C. ade.

　　D. abd.

　　61. What is the cliché according to the passage?

　　A. The English full of slang words.

　　B. The boring ideas or sayings because of being used often.

　　C. The long phrases which are used often.

　　D. All the English which is used outside of London and the southeast of Britain.

　　62. Why do we need to use Standard English?

　　A. Because no one can understand dialect words.

　　B. Because there are many kinds of English in the world, we need Standard English to make communication easier.

　　C. Because local dialect belongs to the certain region, not every one can understand it.

　　D. Because standard English has been used for a long time.

　　63. Which statement is TRUE?

　　A. Written English should be formal and standard.

　　B. Standard English means people should use the words from Dr. Johnson’s Dictionary.

　　C. All the spoken English should be Standard English.

　　D. Standard English replaced all written dialect forms in the 18th Century.

　　As goods and services improved, people were persuaded to spend their money on changing from old to new, and found the change worth the expense. When an airline equipped itself with jets, for example, its costs (and therefore airfare) would go up, but the new planes meant such an improvement that the higher cost was justified. A new car (or wirelesses, washing machines, electric kettles) made life so much more comfortable than the old one that the high cost of replacement was fully repaid. Manufacturers still cry their goods as persuasively as ever, but are the improvements really worth paying for? In many fields, things have now reached such a high standard of performance that further progress is very limited and very, very expensive. Airlines, for example, go to enormous expense in buying the latest prestige jets, in which vast research costs have been spent on relatively small improvements. If we abandon these vast costs we might lose the chance of cutting minutes away from flying times; but wouldn’t it be better to see airfares drop dramatically, as capital costs become relatively insignificant? Again, in the context of a 70 m. p. h. Limit, with lines of cars traveling so close as to control each other’s speeds, improvements in performance are actually irrelevant; improvements in handling are unnecessary, as most production cars grip（抓牢） the road perfectly, and comfort has now reached a very high level. Small improvements here are unlikely to be worth the thousands that anybody replacing an ordinary family car every two years may have spent on them. Let us instead have cars or wireless, electric kettles, washing machines, television sets — which are made to last, and not to be replaced. Significant progress is obviously a good thing, but the insignificant progression from model-change to model-change is not.

　　68. The author is obviously challenging the social norm (社会规范) that ______ .

　　A. it is important to improve goods and services

　　B. development of technology makes our life more comfortable

　　C. it is reasonable that prices are going up all the time

　　D. slightly improved new products are worth buying

　　69. According to this passage, airfares may rise because ________ .

　　A. the airplane has been improved

　　B. people tend to travel by new planes

　　C. the change is found to be reasonable

　　D. the service on the plane is better than before

　　70. According to the author, passengers would be happier if they _______ .

　　A. could fly in the latest model of good planes

　　B. could get tickets at much lower prices

　　C. see the airlines make vital changes in their services

　　D. could spend less time flying in the air

　　71. When manufactures have improved the performance of their products to a certain level, then it would be ________ .

　　A. justified for them to cut the price

　　B. unnecessary for them to make any new changes

　　C. difficult and costly to further better them

　　D. insignificant for them to cut down the research costs

　　The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a children’s book written in 1900 by L. Frank Baum. It was originally published by the George M. Hill Company in Chicago, and has since been reprinted countless times, sometimes under the name The Wizard of Oz. It is one of the best-known stories in American popular culture and has been widely translated. The book has been in public domain since 1956.

　　The story describes the adventures of a girl named Dorothy in the land of Oz. Dorothy Gale is a young girl who lives on a Kansas farm with her Uncle Henry and Aunt Emily and her little dog Toto. One day a cyclone（大旋风） appears and the farmhouse is caught up in the cyclone and deposited in a grassy field in the country of the Munchkins. The falling house kills the Wicked Witch of the East, who had established a reign of terror over the Munchkins.

　　The Good Witch of the North comes with the Munchkins to greet Dorothy, and gives her the Silver Shoes the Wicked Witch of the East had been wearing when she was killed. In order to return to Kansas, the Good Witch of the North consults a magical blackboard which recommends, “Let Dorothy go to the City of Emeralds” and asks the Wizard of Oz to help her. The Good Witch of the North also kisses Dorothy on the forehead, stating that no one will harm a person who has been kissed by her. On her way down the Yellow Brick Road, Dorothy meets some remarkable characters: she liberates the Scarecrow（稻草人） from the pole he’s hanging on, restores the mobility of the rusted（生锈的） Tin Woodman, and encourages the Cowardly Lion to journey with her and Toto to the Emerald City. The Scarecrow wants to get a brain, the Tin Woodman a heart, and the Cowardly Lion courage; and they are convinced by Dorothy that the Wizard can help them too. Before the Wizard will grant their wishes, however, they have to kill the Wicked Witch of the West， which Dorothy finally manages to do, thus making all their wishes come true.

　　阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

　　注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

　　Hobbies not only provide us with the oasis(绿洲) like experience in the deserts of our life but also provide us with nourishing facts of knowledge along with an escape from monotonous life.

　　Life would be very boring without hobbies; we would appear like robots without feelings, like color blind creatures, like aliens on our own planet. Hobbies give sense to our existence.

　　Therefore, in order to keep a balance between busy moments and free time, we take up hobbies. We could talk about a long list of hobbies or about a list of hobbies and interests. These lists are different, which depend on factors like age, sex, region, family background, education or personality.

　　If you live in a mountain area, you may have hobbies like mountain climbing, you may be interested in different species of plants, animals, birds or insects which have the habitat in your area, or you may have painting landscapes, or taking photos as a hobby. If you have a nice voice, you may start singing and even making a band. Family background is also important in taking up a hobby. For example, in a family where one of the members is an artist or a sportsperson, it is very probable that their children have the same hobbies or interests. Hobbies depend on personality. A choleric person could never take up a hobby like making models, as he or she would not have the patience necessary.

　　Actually, life is great and you can make a hobby out of the most insignificant thing, with a little imagination, and it will help you have a positive thinking, and you even might consider yourself a happy person, even if from philosophical point of view happiness can be reached very rarely and only by a few people.

　　Life （76）______ hobbies We would （77） like

　　·robots without feelings.

　　·color blind creatures.

　　·aliens on our own planet.

　　（78） of hobbies Hobbies make our existence （79）.

　　（80） of taking up a hobby To keep a balance between busy moments and free time.

　　Different hobbies （81） on age, sex, region, family background, education or personality ●A person living in a mountain area may be a （82）.

　　●A person with a beautiful voice may like singing.

　　●（83） may take up singing or sports if their parents are artists or sportsmen.

　　●A choleric person could never like making models as he is too （84） to do it.

　　Conclusion A person with a hobby can consider himself a happy person, （85） philosophers say happiness can rarely be reached.

　　法国哲学家卢梭说过：“No Thanksgiving would be no virtue”（没有感恩就没有真正的美德）。如今社会上一些人缺乏感恩之心，少数人甚至在父母年老体弱时都不愿意赡养。

　　注意：1. 短文的开头已给出，但不计入总词数。

　　W: I’m really angry at John. He never listens to me.

　　M: ④Take it easy, Alan. Things will work out.

　　(Text 5)

　　W: Maybe we should take the Front Street this morning. The radio announcer said that the traffic was very heavy on the freeway.

　　M: Well, ⑤if he says to take the Front Street we should go the other way.

　　(Text 6)

　　M: Where are you from?

　　W: The United States. I live in New York.

　　M: Oh, really? I think it’s a big city with a large population, right? By the way, do you like it?

　　W: Yeah. I think it’s the only place to live in.

　　M: Why do you say that?

　　W: You see, ⑦there’s always something exciting to do, and it’s never boring.

　　M: My place isn’t boring, either. ⑥You can fish, hike, grow some vegetables—all kinds of things, if you like, though it’s small and quiet.

　　W: I guess so, especially here in New Zealand.

　　(Text 7)

　　W: So, how did it go?

　　M: Better than I had expected.

　　W: Didn’t I tell you that you were more fit for the job than others?

　　M: My education is OK. ⑧But I don’t have the experience of working on a project like this. My knowledge is mostly theoretical. That is why I am not so sure about getting this job.

　　W: ⑨I think what matters is that you have the ability to use your knowledge in your work.

　　M: I hope my interviewers feel that way.

　　W: Don’t you think they do?

　　M: I don’t know. ⑩All of them are experts in this field.

　　W: Don’t worry. I am sure they should call you.

　　W: Professor Jones, ⑪you’re well-known in town as a professor of mathematics at the City College. ⑬We’re writing about what professional people do in their spare time for our paper. May I ask you a few questions about your favorite hobby?

　　M: Sure, I love discussing my hobby with people. I’m a coin collector.

　　W: How long have you been collecting coins?

　　M: Since I was 12 years old. My uncle gave me a book with spaces to put coins into.

　　W: How did your interest grow?

　　M: I filled that book and continued to look at the coins that passed through my hands, searching for rare and old ones.

　　W: Where do you find the coins for your collection?

　　M: Sometimes in my pocket change, ⑫but usually I buy them from other collectors or trade for others.

　　W: What does your collection consist of now?

　　M: I have over 5, 000 valuable coins which have doubled in value.

　　W: You seem very business-like in your hobby.

　　M: Well, do you think so? But my hobby is mainly based on interest.

　　W: Thank you for the answers, Professor Jones. I think people will like to read about your hobby.

　　(Text 9)

　　W: Why are you rushing around like a chicken with its head cut off?

　　M: I’ve been invited to one of my American friends’ house tonight.

　　W: So why are you in such a hurry?

　　M: ⑭I was told the party would start at eight.

　　W: Relax. Relax. ⑮In America if someone tells you a party starts at eight, you’d better arrive between 8: 30 and 9: 00.

　　M: You are joking! How come?

　　W: I don’t know. It’s just the custom here.

　　M: I’ve never been to a party in America before. Can you give me some ideas about what it’s like?

　　W: Well, there is almost always alcohol—beer, wine, whisky—⑰and generally some small snacks to eat and sometimes a late-evening snack is served about 11 or 12 o’clock.

　　M: And what do people do at parties?

　　W: Sometimes they just sit or stand around in groups and talk, ⑯but often parties involve music and dancing.

　　M: I can’t dance.

　　W: You don’t have to dance if you don’t want to, but you should try it a few times. Maybe you’ll like it.

　　M: If I stand around and talk to others all night, I’ll never get to this party.

　　W: OK. Have a good time.

　　M: Thanks.

　　Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. ⑲A young man with an unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He searches awkwardly for words and does not talk smoothly. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper he can express himself very well.

　　⑳Other people may fool you into overvaluing their intelligence by putting up a good appearance. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.

　　⑱The main idea is you can’t judge someone by their appearances. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. ⑱Don’t judge the book by its cover.

　　书面表达

　　Not only do our parents give us life, but they also give us endless love and support, always sharing our happiness and sorrow.

　　I’m very grateful to my parents. They give me so much love and spare no effort to support me. I still remember once I was seriously ill, they were so worried and almost kept me company the whole night. Now I’m in Senior 3. Luckily for me, my parents can understand my stressful condition and often communicate with me with encouraging words. Furthermore, they give me enough personal space, which I appreciate so much.

　　What I should do now is to study hard. When I grow up, I will try my best to make my parents live a happy life.
