第二部分 阅读理解（共25小题；第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分，满分45分）

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

       The holiday is upon us. Finally, after months of study, you have some time to yourself. So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, "Why bother with books? We have the Internet and other media that offer a lot more colorful entertainment. Books are history!" But don't be fooled. I'm sure there's still a lot to be said for reading.

       One clear reason is that a well-chosen book is a wonderful source of vocabulary, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course. Believe me, it's far easier to get new English words and phrases from a book or an article than it is from the TV or the Internet.

       But another more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply can not. The average webpage is picture-heavy and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible. While "easy" may be attractive, unfortunately it's of little use for any long-term development of reading skills and the general language level. Because of that, there's still no substitute (替代品) of a book.

       But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it independently means that it's something you do by and for yourself. You can choose what you want to read. It's hard work, but somewhere down the line, you'll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure.

44．The passage is written mainly to ____.

       A．share the pleasure of reading books

       B．advise readers to read books

       C．stress the importance of reading online

       D．help readers to choose good books

       Space travel used to be a young man's game, but when John Glenn went into space aboard Discovery, four generations of men and women could stare into the sky and think "That could be me someday. "At the same time Glenn was looking down and doing some thinking of his own.

       "It's quite unusual, "he said, "to look down on this blue planet, seeing the air that surrounds it. You fly over the Mediterranean, over the Middle East and it's so beautiful. You wonder why in the world humans can't solve all the problems they have created, leaving them to fester over the centuries. "

       "I was at the Houston airport on my way back to Washington recently when an older guy walked up to me, all excited. He shook my hand and said, 'Boy, you're changing my life! ' I asked,' How is that?' He said, ' I' m 74, and ever since I was a kid I've wanted to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.  However,! haven't done it, and I kept putting it off. But now I'm going to do it! 'And all the time his wife was standing behind him, just shaking her head."

       "But I've noticed something. I've noticed that maybe because of all this, people are seeing themselves in a way they haven't before. They're realizing that older people have the same ambitions, hopes, and dreams as anybody else. I say you should live a life based on how you feel and not by the age. "

       As prices and building costs keep rising, the "do-it-yourself(DIY) trend in the US continues to grow.

       "We needed furniture for our living room, "says John Ross," and we just didn't have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs. "John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.

       Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $ 520. "I was deeply upset about it. Now I have finished a car repair course. I should be able to fix the car by myself. "

       John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a "do-it-yourselfer", you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.

52．We can learn from the text that many newly married people ____.

       A．makes shoes at his home

       B．does extra work at night

       C．does his own car and home repairs

       D．keeps house and looks after his children

       Most of my husband's friends call him "lucky. " Why? Not because I'm a perfect wife, or look like a model, or treat him like a king―but because I love sports.

       Am I the only woman who thoroughly enjoys sports?

       When I talk to my girlfriends about how the Minnesota Twins won their game the night before, most of them raise their eyebrows and look at me with blank stares. When I talk about how excited I am that football training is soon to begin, they raise their eyebrows even further. Why is that?

       The funny thing is that I'm much fonder of sports than my husband. Oh, he tries to know what's going on in the "sports world", but eventually he has to ask me, "What's the score?" or "Who are we playing with?" or "Who's in the first place?"

       Yes, I watch or listen to particularly every single Twins game throughout the entire season. My husband watches too, but I'm the one doing the cheering, the roaring, the jumping up and down and clapping.

       Is it strange that every morning I read the sports section in the newspaper to read the latest articles on the Twins? Or that I know the name of every single player on the team? Come on, there's got to be other women like me who enjoy sports ?maybe even more than their husbands!

      To me, Sunday is the best day of the week. Why? Because it's the day we go to church, come home from church and watch football. What could be better than that?

56．It can be inferred from the passage that ____.

       A．generally wives don't like their husbands to enjoy sports

       B．husbands like sports less than their wives

       C．no women love sports

       D．all men love sports

57．The underlined word "blank" in third paragraph probably means ____.

       A．discouraged        B．interested         C．expressionless      D．eager

58．What's the main idea of the third paragraph?

       A．The author tries to persuade her friends into loving sports.

       B．The author's girlfriends don't share her love for sports.

       C．None of the writer's girlfriends love sports.

       D．The writer's girlfriends laugh at her love for sports.

59．The author mentions her husband's questions in order to show____.

       A．her husband learn everything from her

       B．she knows less about sports than her husband

       C．her husband respects her very much
