　　第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

　　第一节

　　（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。

　　A

　　Think of some of your favorite singers．When you listen, they can make you happy or sad, peaceful or angry．They can make you relax or want to get up and dance．Gifted singers have the power to affect us in many ways—emotionally, physically and mentally．

　　But becoming a great singer isn’t as easy as listening to one．It takes practice, devotion and strong lungs! Just ask the well-known American opera（歌剧）star Carol Vaness．

　　At the Metropolitan Opera in New York City where she often sings, Carol’s voice must be loud enough to be heard by four thousand people．It must reach every person in the theater, without a microphone, even when she’s singing softly．The reason Carol can project her voice that far is the way she breathes．

　　“When you breathe, it’s like a swimmer taking a deep breath before going underwater,” Carol explains．“You have to take a lot of air into your lungs．”

　　According to Carol, the main difference between pop singing and opera is “how you breathe, how much air you take in, and how you control it coming out．Regular singing is more like speaking, and it’s lot softer．When I sing for children, they’re often surprised by how the vibrations strike their ears—like waves on a beach, ”Carol says．“In opera, the air doesn’t just go out of your mouth—it vibrates in your chest，the way a guitar vibrates when it’s played．”

　　Ever since she started piano lessons at the age of ten, Carol has loved music．As she got older, she decided to become a music teacher．When she went to college, she took singing lessons as part of her studies．Her voice teacher discovered that nineteen-year-old Carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano voice-the highest singing voice for women．

　　Carol decided to make opera her goal, not only because she loved to sing but also because she loved the drama．Opera is a play in which the characters sing the words instead of speaking them．The stories of opera can be tragic or comical．They can be personal stories about two people falling in love or grand stories about kings and queens who lived long ago．As the characters in an opera sing, the emotions（情感）expressed by words and music come to life．

　　Today, Carol performs throughout the United States and Europe and she has song for almost twenty years．But she has never forgotten where she started singing in the first palace．

　　“Put your heart into your singing and enjoy it,” says Carol, “because singing is a great joy．That’s why I sing．In fact, that’s why everybody sings．”

　　56．According to the passage,

　　the Metropolitan Opera in New York City

　　．

　　A．is a five-story building B．can seat 4,000 people

　　C．has no microphone in it D．can project the singer’s voice

　　57．Which statement is true?

　　A．A pop singer’s lungs are usually stronger than those of an opera singer’s

　　B．Opera singing is more like speaking．

　　C．A pop singer takes in much more air than an opera singer when singing．

　　D．An opera singer breathes differently from a pop singer when singing．58．From the passage you can conclude all the following EXCEPT that

　　．

　　A．Carol once learned to play the piano

　　B．Carol worked as a music teacher

　　C．Carol has been singing opera for 20 years or so

　　D．Carol is popular with Americans and Europeans

　　B

　　Thousands of people began pouring into Pennsylvania from other states．They wanted to buy lottery tickets．The tickets cost only ﹩0．9 each．But that small spending could bring them a reward of ﹩90 million．That was the second largest lottery jackpot（积累奖金）in history．

　　More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing．Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80．The chance of winning was one in 9．6 million．But that little chance certainly didn’t affect ticket sales．In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were selling at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second．

　　Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action．Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people．It allows them to dream about wealth they’ll probably never have．

　　But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized（合法化的） gambling．Some critics note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets．There are also many addicts who take the game seriously．They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets．Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit．

　　Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes．The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens．But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice（恶习）, under the name of social progress．No matter whether you regard state lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans．

　　59．The main idea of the passage is that

　　．

　　A．lotteries are of great benefit to everyone who buys them .

　　B．playing a lottery is just like investing in the stock market

　　C．a lot of people buy lottery tickets, but lotteries cause disagreement

　　D．lotteries are just legalized vice

　　60．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．Politicians like lotteries because they don’t have to pay extra tax．

　　B．The popularity of lotteries in America actually is social progress．

　　C．Some critics don’t like lotteries because many poor people waste their money on them．

　　D．People love the lottery because it is a stock market．

　　61．In just one hour in the last few days, the Pennsylvania lottery sold tickets totaling

　　．

　　A．$1．62million B．﹩90million

　　C．﹩9．6million D．﹩87million

　　62．People who are addicted to playing lotteries should

　　．

　　A．join a club

　　B．kick the habit

　　C．win the Pennsylvania

　　D．save every cent

　　My father's reaction to the bank building at 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York city was immediate and definite: "You won't catch me putting my money in there!" he declared, "Not in that glass box !"

　　Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is upsetting, but I am convinced that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money ．

　　In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity （实物）that could be carried, or stolen．Consequently, to attract the custom of a sensible man, a bank had to have heavy walls, barred windows, and bronze（青铜） doors, to affirm the fact, however untrue, that money would be safe inside．If a building's design made it appear impenetrable（难以渗透的）, the institution（公共机构, 协会, 制度）was necessarily reliable, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architecture symbol dwelt in the prevailing attitude toward money．

　　But the attitude toward money has, of course, changed．Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used; money as a tangible（切实，实在）commodity has largely been replaced by credit．A deficit （赤字） economy, accompanied by huge expansion, has led us to think of money as product of the creative imagination．The banker no longer offers us a safe: he offers us a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity for the invention of large numbers．It is in no way surprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are witnessing the disappearance of the heavy-walled bank．

　　Just as the older bank emphasized its strength, this bank by its architecture boasts of imaginative powers．From this point of view it is hard to say where architecture ends and human assertion （人们的说法）begins．

　　67．The main idea of this passage is that________

　　．

　　A．money is not as valuable as it was in the past

　　B．changes have taken place in both the appearance and the concept of banks

　　C．the architectural style of the older bank is superior to that of the modern bank

　　D．prejudice makes the older generation think that the modern bank is unreliable

　　68．How do the older generation and the younger one think about money?

　　A．The former thinks more of money than the latter．

　　B．The younger generation values money more than the older generation．

　　C．Both generations rely on the imaginative power of bankers to make money．

　　D．To the former money is a real commodity but to the latter be a means to produce more money．

　　69．According to this passage, a modern banker should be ．

　　A．ambitious and friendly

　　B．reliable and powerful

　　C．sensible and impenetrable

　　D．imaginative and creative

　　70．It can be inferred from the passage that the author's attitude towards the new trend in banking is ．

　　A．cautious

　　B．regretful C．positive

　　D．hostile（敌意的）

　　第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious．Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?

　　At least one group of people is certain that it can．A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs （企业家） in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public．Britain is hostile （敌意的） to success, they said．It has a culture of jealousy．____71_____ Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green – eyed monster” and the UK is its home．

　　Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea．They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money．___72______ Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own．Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this．

　　___73_____ But there is also conflicting evidence．The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy．That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success．People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe．So the British people are not lazy, either．

　　“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology．“It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots．”

　　___74_____ They set out to do things in their way．They work long hours．By their own efforts they become millionaires．___75_____ It hardly seems worth following their example．If they were more friendly, people would like them more．And more people want to be like them．

　　A．This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain．

　　B．The one who owns most money in the end is the winter．

　　C．As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood．”

　　D．it is not true that British people are born jealous of others success．

　　E．Some were given a little, others a great deal．

　　F．But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them．

　　G．Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem．
