　　第三部分：阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

　　请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、c、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　Two men, Alan and Henry, both seriously ill, shared a hospital room. Alan was allowed to sit up in his bed and his bed was next to the room’s only window. Henry had to spend all his time flat on his back.

　　The men talked for hours, of their wives, families, their homes and their jobs. And every afternoon when Alan, in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm among flowers. Trees and skyline could be seen in the distance. As he described all this, Henry, on the other side of the room, would close his eyes and imagine the scene.

　　One warm afternoon Alan described a parade (游行) passing by. Although Henry could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind. Unexpectedly, an alien though: entered his head: why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never got to see anything? It doesn’t seem fair. Henry felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sight, his envy grew and soon let him down. He began to find himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window ---- and that thought now controlled his life.

　　Late one night, as he lay staring at the ceiling. Alan began to cough. He was choking. Henry watched in the dim room as the struggling man tried hard to reach for the button to call for help. Listening from across the room, he never moved, never pushed his own button which would have brought the nurse running. In less than five minutes, the coughing and choking stopped, along with the sound of breathing. Now, there was only silence ---- deathly silence.

　　As soon as it seemed appropriate, Henry asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

　　Slowly, painfully, he struggled to take his first look. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it all himself. He looked out, but faced a black wall.

　　In the late 1860s, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However, bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was impossible.

　　Roebling could not ignore the vision of this bridge. He though about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an up and coming

　　engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built.

　　The father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could be overcome. With great excitement and inspiration, and the determination of meeting wild challenges, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.

　　The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or even move.

　　“We told them so.”

　　“Crazy men with crazy dreams.”

　　“It’s foolish to chase wild visions.”

　　Everyone had a negative comment and felt that the project should be abandoned. In spite of his disability Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.

　　He tried to inspire and pass on his enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted

　　by the task. As he lay on his bed in hospital, an idea suddenly hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. Slowly, he developed a code of communication with his wife.

　　He touched his wife’s arm with that finger, indicating to her that he wanted her to call the engineer again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish but the project was under way again.

　　For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm, until the bridge was finally completed in 1883.

　　Today she spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a proof to the great success of one mans spirit and his determination. It stands too as a monument to the love and devotion of his wife.

　　63. Which of the following shows the right order of building the bridge?

　　(CNN) ----- China will sometimes say “no” and the world should get used to it.

　　That message came through when China joined Russia in blocking action on Syria.

　　“Do not mistakenly think that because China takes a careful and responsible position on the Syria issue, China will not use its veto power or will always abstain(弃权), ” said Cui Tiankai, China’s voice foreign minister, “When China must use its veto power to say no, it will surely use it. ”

　　On Saturday, Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, called the vetoes “disgusting and shameful.”

　　He Wenping, director of African Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences said the veto shows China’s confidence in foreign affairs. “A country expressing its true opinion ---- that’s progress. China opposes the use of the threat or force to achieve regime (政权) change in other countries. This agrees with China’s long-standing diplomacy principle. It is also not acceptable for China to rush a U. K. vote without sufficient discussion.”

　　So why did China use its veto this time?

　　China’s critics say China’s veto of the U.N. draft proposal was in part due to Beijing’s fear that allowing a regime change in Syria could encourage the spread of the Arab Spring will happen in China,

　　He Wenping disagrees, “China has a completely different political system and economic development path. If someone in the international community thinks that the Arab Spring will happen in China, then I think they misjudge the situation in China, exaggerate some problems in the Chinese society and underestimate the ability of the Chinese government to control the situation in China. ”

　　Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　China often uses its veto power on international issues

　　China never uses its veto power on international issues

　　China’s normal practice in the U.N. is to abstain rather than veto.

　　China should not have veto power in the U.N.

　　What is the international reaction to China’s veto on the Syria issue?

　　A. Russia supports China.

　　B. The U.S. feels very unhappy.

　　C. The international community is used to it.

　　D.The Arab countries show no concern.

　　Why did China use its veto power this time?

　　Because Russia and China are friends.

　　Because China wants to hold an opposite stand against the U.S.

　　Because China is worried about a chain-action resulting from Syria’s revolution.

　　Because China opposes the use of threat or force to achieve regime change in other countries.

　　What can we learn from the passage?

　　China has a firm stand on international issues.

　　The U.N. asks the whole world to get used to China saying no on international issues.

　　CNN believed that China helped Syria to fight against the U.N.

　　All the member countries of the U.N. supported Susan Rices.

　　第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

　　请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

　　注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

　　Time, a faithful company of our life, is a universal topic. People are always curious about what it is, how it travels and who it meets.

　　Stephen Hawking, one of the world’s smartest physicists, once said. “I’m fascinated by time.”

　　Many of us are, and the popularity of time travel novels, movies and TV series has proved that. After Palace and Startling by Each Step achieved astonishing ratings last year, Palace 2 aired on January 20, attracting time travel fans back to TV.

　　Woody Allen’s movie Midnight in Paris achieved great success. It was nominated for Best Picture, Directing, Original Screenplay and Art Direction for the 2017 Academy Awards.

　　Dream of heroism

　　Time travel TV series and movies connect both today and the past, thus offering room for imagination. Imagination creates a chance for the young to fulfill a dream that is hard to achieve in reality.

　　Chinese writer Xi Juan is a pioneer of time-travel stories in China. In 1993 she published a love story about a young woman time traveling to ancient times. The leading role’s modern personality and perception of love help her win the heart of a cool, handsome martial art master. Such a plot satisfies female fans’ love fantasy.

　　Starting from the late 1990s, novels about men traveling back to the past prevailed (盛行), with a Step into the Past as the most popular example. In these stories, the male leading roles accomplish great things with their modern skills and wisdom.

　　It is usually “a dream of heroism come true”, along with enviable romances.

　　Eye candy

　　“I’m hooked by the shows because they are characterized by dramatic and poetic love and have eye-pleasing actors,” Xia Xiaoyan, who works for a foreign-owned enterprise in Shanghai, explained her love for time travel TV series.

　　Her comment echoes a 2011 survey by Creat Marketing Research Co Ltd in China. When asked about what is so appealing about time travel TV series, 21 percent of respondents answered, “These attractive characters.”

　　A bigger reason behind the popularity of time travel stories, however, is the relaxation they offer, according to the survey.

　　Cai Yinong agrees. “Many people are facing tremendous pressure in their fast-paced lives, so this genre is more relaxing than other shows as it provides people with a terrific outlet to escape reality,” Cai told China Daily.

　　Cultural homesickness

　　“Which dynasty would you like to live in if you could travel to the past?” asked a survey launched by Shanghai University and Shanghai Social Sciences Association last December.

　　About 60 percent of the 2,543 respondents chose Tang Dynasty, while Qing Dynasty, and the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were the other top two destinations.

　　The survey results reflects people’s definition of the good days: prosperous economy and culture, steady society, fair and uncorrupted politics, and opening up to the outside world.

　　As for the movie Midnight in Paris, it features modernity versus cultural homesickness. The New York Times commented, “The past seems so much more vivid, more substantial, than the present. The good old days are so attractive because we were not around, however much we wish we were.”
