第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Part one: First Major Novels
If Dickens had remained the author of Pickwick, Oliver Twist, and The Old Curiosity Shop, he might have gained lasting fame only as an author of cheerful comedy. But Dombey and Son, published in 1846 and continued till 1848, is a realistic novel of human life in a society which had taken more or less its modern form. The novel is a study of the influence of the values of a business society n the members of the Dombey family.
Part two:
In 1851 Dickens was struck by the death of his father and one of his daughters within 2 weeks.
Partly in response to these losses, he created a series of works which have come to be called his
“dark” novels and which rank among the greatest success of the art of fiction.
Par three: Later Works
In 1859 Dickens published A Tale of Two Cities, a historical novel of the French Revolution, which is read today most often as a school text. It is fine picture of the historical period and a moving tale of a surprisingly modern hero. Besides publishing this novel in the lately founded All the Year Round, Dickens also published 17 articles, which appeared as a book later.
Dickens’s next novel, Great Expectations(1860~1861), tells the story of a young man’s moral（道德的）development in the course of his life-from childhood in the provinces to gentleman’s role in London. Not based on his own life like David Copperfield, Great Expectations belongs to type of fiction called, in German, Bildungsroman (the novel of a man’s education or formation by experience.)
56．Which of the following Dickens’ novel shows a clear change of style?
A．David Copperfield B．Pickwick
C．Dombey and Son D．Oliver Twist
57．The best title for Part two might be .
A．Unexpected deaths B．Dark novels
C．Great losses D．The art of fiction
58．According to the passage, A Tale of Two Cities .
A．is about the Industry Revolution B．can be found in most of the textbooks
C．is better than his “dark” novels D．is probably published in a new magazine
59．In Great Expectation, Dickens writes about .
A．the growth of a man B．how to become a gentleman
C．his own life experience D．a man’s school education

Many people believe that teaching children music makes them smarter, better able to learn new things. But the organizers of a new study say there's no scientific evidence that early musical training affects the intelligence of young people.
An estimated 80 percent of American adults think music lessons improve children's abilily to learn or their performance in school. They say that the satisfaction for learning to play a new song helps a child express creativity.
Researchers at Harvard University, however, have found that there's one thing musical training does not do. They say it does not make children more intelligent. Samuel Mehr is a graduate student at Harvard's School of Education. He said it is wrong to think that learning to play a musical instrument improves a child's intellectual development. He says the evidence comes from studies that measured the mental ability of two groups of 4-year-olds and their parents. One group attended music class, the other went to a class that places importance on the visual arts—arts that can be seen.
"The evidence there is 'no'. We found no evidence for any advantage on any of these tests for the kids participating in these music clases," said Mehr.Samuel Mehr says researchers have carried out many studies in an effort to learn whether musical training can make children smarter. He says the results have been mixed. He says only one study seems to show a small percentage increase in IQ, intellectual scores among students after one year of music lessons. He does not believe that IQ is a good measure of child's intelligence. He says researchers in his study compared how well children in the musical training group did on mental processing tasks or projects, then the results were compared to those of children who did not take lessons. There was no evidence that the musical training group did much better on the mental tasks than the other group.
The researchers comfirmed the results with a larger group of children and their parents.Mr Mehr says music lessons may not offer children a fast easy way to gain entry to the best schools later of their life. But he says the training is still important for cultural reasons. In his words, "We teach music because music is important for us."
1.According to the new study, musical training______.
A. makes children smarter????????????????????????
B. helps a child express creativity
C. does not make children more intelligent??????????
D. improve children's ability to learn in school
2.Samuel Mehr may agree that______.
A. the children who attended music class are smarter than those who attended arts class
B. IQ is a good measure of a child's intelligence
C. we needn't to teach children music
D. music training is still important for cultural reasons
3.In order to confirm his view, Samuel Mehr______.
A. conducted more than one research
B. interviewed many American adults
C. taught two groups of 4-yetr-olds music and arts
D. offered children a fast way to be admitted to the best schools
4.The artical may be taken from a report about _____.
A. health????????????? B. education????????????? C. ????????????? culture????????????? D.economy

In
The course is divided into two parts: class time for learning the laws and regulations, and driving time for practice. The students study the basic traffic laws they must know to pass the written driving test, which is given to anyone who wants to get a driver's license.
Driving time is a chance for the students to sit behind the steering wheel and practice all kinds of skills that are required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive for a total of six hours. The students are divided into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hours. Thus, each student gets half an hour of driving time per outing. The instructor and the "driver" sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.
The cars for drivers' education are different from other ears. In this kind of car there are two sets of brakes, one on the driver's side and the other on the instructor; s side. Thus, if the student driver runs into difficulties, the instructor can take over. This kind of car also has another special feature. On the rear window of the car is a sign that reads： STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should be more careful because the student driver isn't very experienced.
After the student has passed the drivers' education course and reached the proper age to drive, they can go to a designated state office to take the driving test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The student must pass all the three tests in order to get a driver's license. If the student does well in the drivers' education class, he or she will have no problem passing the test with flying colors and getting licensed.

A. Their age must conform to relevant regulations.
B. They should go to have their driver's tests.
C. They must have their eyes examined.
D. They can take the driving test in their own schools.
59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Students who take the driving lessons don't need to learn laws and regulations.
B. The car for driver's education has a sign on the rear window.
C. Every student can pass the driving test only if he/she takes a course in driver's education.
