    三节．阅读理解（40%）
    阅读理解下面的短文，然后按要求答题。
    I was born in New York, but I grew up in San Francisco. I began to live in London 25 years ago. If I am asked now where I want to live forever, I would say London. But I will always be American.
    San Francisco, like London, has many parks. Every day my sisters and I were taken to play in the parks as children. I didn't go to school. I only had three hours of formal education when I was five. I was sent to school in the morning but came home at noon on the first day. I said I didn't enjoy it and hadn't learned anything. My parents thought that school was unsuitable for me. They agreed with me, so I never went back to school.
    Then my mother taught me and my two sisters at home, in the way of an English lady who had good education. We learned languages and reading more than sciences and maths. Sometimes she taught us herself, but we also had other teachers. They asked us to take lessons every day. About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park. While we were walking, my mother taught me to read music. One day I noticed a little toy train in the window of a shop and I remember now how I'd like to have it. I couldn't say "r" when I was small. My mother said if I could say an "r" well, I would have the toy train. I practiced and practiced. Then one morning I woke everybody up with my "r"s. I got the toy train. I usually get the things I want in life — but I work hard for them.
    1 The writer ___ .
    A. was born in San Francisco      B. likes living in London
    C. is living in New York now      D. doesn't like America

    C. his mother wanted him to play outdoors in the parks

    A. The writer was taught by his mother and other teachers.
    B. The writer had no education at all.
    C. The writer didn't have lessons every day.

    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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    A
    This week in our Foreign Student Series，we talk about getting an American education online．A student named Hendra has written to us from Indonesia asking about a good online university．Finding the right online program requires research．Talking to advisers and recruiters（招募者）can help．Keep in mind，though，that they might have a financial interest to direct you to certain programs．
    The Council on Higher Education Accreditation（CHEA）recognizes a group in Washington，D．C．，to accredit（授权）schools that offer distance learning．One hundred and ten programs in the United States and six other countries are accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council．
    We asked the executive director，Michael Lambert，for advice on choosing a distance learning program．He says the first thing is to go on the CHEA Web site to find if a school is accredited．The address is c-h-e-a dot o-r-g．Next，make sure the school offers what you need．Do you need a degree，or will a certificate or license be enough?
    Another consideration is cost．Often the published price does not include all the costs --like books．Technology requirements can also add to the costs．Will you need to get new software or a high-speed Internet connection or even a new computer to take the classes you want?
    Also，consider the level of interaction that an online program offers．You might never meet the teacher or other students in person．
    Finally，and this is our own advice，find out what others say on the Internet for comments or news stories about schools that interest you．Just remember that what people say is not always fair or true．
    56．This passage is probably from ________．
    A．a magazine          B．a newspaper    
    C．a text book       D．a radio program
    57．This passage is mainly about ________．
    A．how to get an American education online
    B．what to learn in an American university
    C．the introductions to schools offering distance learning
    D．the advantages of online education
    58．What else should be taken into consideration about cost besides the published price?
    A．The cost for books and technology requirements．
    B．The cost for books and a new computer．
    C．The cost for new software and a high-speed Internet connection．
    D．The cost for technology requirements and even a classroom．
    59．How can you find the information about schools accredited to offer distance learning easily?
    A．Ask the members of CHEA．        B．Go on the website of chea.org．
    C．Ask Michael Lambert for help．      D．Talk to advisers and recruiters．
    60 According to Michael Lambert，________．
    A．to get a certificate or a license is much easier than to get a degree
    B．it’s not fair for the schools to charge extra money beside the published price
    C．the level of interaction that an online program offers is quite considerable
    D．people’s comments about schools are always unbelievable
