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,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

A

There are two types of people in the world.Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy.This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.

People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather.They enjoy all the cheerful things.Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied.By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend(hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied.The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿).It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors.The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes.I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.

Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck.Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect.This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments.If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success.Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes.If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings.These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others.If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them.Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

56.People who are unhappy _______.

       A.always consider things differently from others

       B.usually are affected by the results of certain things

       C.usually misunderstand what others think or say

       D.always discover the unpleasant side of certain things

57.We can conclude from the passage that _______.

       A.we should pity all such unhappy people

       B.such unhappy people are dangerous to social life

       C.people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness

       D.unhappy people can not understand happy persons

58.If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should ____.

       A.prevent any communication with them

       B.show no respect and politeness to them

       C.persuade them to recognize the bad effects

When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China.

When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans.Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now.

Still, her answer surprised me: “Green tea.”

As long as I can remember she didn’t even drink Indian tea .

I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story.My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.

At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian.It was a strange country.

How things change! And how soon!

Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”.And everyone is talking about China.

The govemment of Indin has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done.A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment(投资)and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”.

But it’s a two-way street.I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software.Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.

No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about US $15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments.

No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian(中印)century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.

But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.

According to the passage, the author left _____ for ______.

     A.India; China             B.China; India

       C.China; Longjing          D.India; Shenzhen

The reason why the writer’s mother asked for Chinese green tea is that_____.

     A.she had a son working in China          B.she believed it had a curing effect

     C.she enjoyed Chinese products            D.she was tired of Indian tea

The underlined part “it’s a two-way street” in Paragraph 10 probably means ____.

     A.The exchanges between Indian and China benefit both.

     B.China and India have different traffic rules.

     C.Tea trade works wonders in both India and China.

     D.Chinese produces are popular in both China and India.

It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

     A.the author was concerned for his mother’s health

     B.the author was in favor of drinking Chinese green tea

     C.the author was surprised at China’s recent development

     D.the author was curious about the growth of India’s IT industry

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,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

A

One stormy night many years ago, an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia. Trying to get out of the rain, they came to the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the night.

“Could you possibly give us a room here?” the husband asked.

The clerk, a friendly man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and explained that there were three conventions in town.“All of our rooms are taken,” the clerk said.“But I can’t send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one o’clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It’s not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the night.”

When the couple declined, the young man pressed on.“Don’t worry about me; I’ll make out just fine.” the clerk told them. So the couple agreed.

As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk,“You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe someday I’ll build one for you.” The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh. As they drove away, the elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both friendly and helpful isn’t easy.

Two years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the old man. It recalled that stormy night and enclosed a round—trip ticket to New York, asking the young man to pay them a visit.

The old man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th street. He then pointed to a great new building there, a pale reddish stone, with turrets and watchtowers thrusting up to the sky.“That,” said the older man,“is the hotel I have just built for you to manage.”“You must be joking,” the young man said.“I can assure you I am not,” said the older man, a sly smile playing around his mouth.

The older man’s name was William Waldorf Astor, and that magnificent structure was the original Waldorf—Astoria Hotel. The young clerk who became its first manager was George C.Boldt. This young clerk never foresaw the turn of events that would lead him to become the manager of one of the world’s most glamorous hotels.

51.The purpose of the author writing this story is to_______.

A.give people a good laugh                         B.cover some facts

C.promote the business of Waldorf—Astoria Hotel       D.deliver a lesson

52.Which of the statements about the story is NOT true?

A.The story took place at about one a.m..

B.The old couple was too poor to afford a luxurious room.

C.The clerk was willing to help those in need.

D.The clerk received an unexpected invitation from the old man.

53.The underlined word “conventions” in Para.3 can be replaced by_______?

A.rooms       B.suites            C.meetings         D.hotels

54.Which of the following proverbs suits the story the best?

A.Every little thing helps.                                           B.Make hay while the sun shines.

C.Man proposes; God disposes(处理,决定).                   D.One good turn deserves another.
