In Glasgow, Scotland,
a young lady, like a lot of teens today, got tired of home. The daughter
objected to her family’s 41 lifestyle and said, “I don’t want your
God. I am leaving!”
She left home. Before long, she
was disappointed and unable to find a job, so she took to the streets to do
everything she could to 42 . Many years passed by, her father
died, her mother grew 43 , and the daughter became more and
more entrenched (固执) in her way of life.
No contact was made between
mother and daughter during these years. The mother, having 44 her daughter’s whereabouts, went to the
poor part of the city in 45 of her daughter. She stopped at each of
the rescue missions (收容所) with a simple 46 . “Would you allow me to 47 this picture?” It was a picture of the
smiling, gray-haired mother with a handwritten 48 at the bottom: “I love you still … come
home!”
One day the daughter wandered
into a rescue mission for a hot meal. She sat 49 listening to the service, all the while
letting her 50 wander over to the bulletin board. There
she saw the picture and thought, could that be my mother?
She couldn’t 51 until the service was over. She stood and
went to look. It was her mother, and there were those words, “I love you still …
come home!” 52 she stood in front of the picture, she
wept. It was too 53 to be true.
It was night, but she was so 54 by the message that she started walking
home. 55 the time she arrived it was early in the
morning. She was afraid and 56 her way timidly (胆怯地). As she knocked,
the door 57 open on its own. She thought someone must
have broken into the house. Concerned for her mother’s 58 , the young woman ran to the bedroom
and shook her mother awake and said, “It’s me! It’s me! I’m home!”
The mother couldn’t believe her
eyes. They fell into each other’s arms. The daughter said, “I was so worried
and 59 someone had broken in.” The mother
replied gently, “No, dear. From the day you left, that door has never been 60 .”

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Are you too old for fairy tales?
If you think so, Copenhagen
is sure to change your mind. See the city first from the water. In the harbor
sits Denmark’s
best-known landmark: the Little Mermaid. Remember her? She left the world of
the sea people in search of becoming a human in one of Hans Christian Andersen’s
beloved fantasies. From the harbor you can feel “city of green spires (尖顶)”. At dawn or on a
cloudy day, the copper-covered spires of old castles and churches give the city
a dream-like atmosphere. You’ll think that you’ve stepped into a watercolour painting.
Copenhagen is a city made for people. You don’t have to hurry to walk
through the city’s center in less than an hour. Exploring it will take much
longer, but that’s easy. Copenhagen
is the first city to make a street for walking only. The city has less traffic,
noise, and pollution than any other European capital.
Churches and castles are almost
all remains of the original city. Copenhagen
became the capital of Denmark
in 1445. During the late 16th century, trade grew, and so did the city. But
fires in 1728 and 1795 destroyed the old wooden buildings. Much of what we see
today is from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Look at one
of the spires up close ― really close ― at the 17th-century Church of Our Savior. Brave people
may climb the 150 stairs winding outside the spire to its top. If you are afraid
of heights, or if it’s a windy day, you can forget about the climb. But then
you’ll miss the beautiful view.
To see people having fun, and to
have some fun yourself, cross Andersens Boulevard and enter Tivoli Gardens.
You won’t be alone. More than five million people a year come here. They come
to dance, eat, listen to outdoor and indoor concerts, watch ballets and laugh
during comedy shows. One tip: Bring a lot of money. About 20 restaurants are
among the city’s most expensive. Even without money, though, you can still
enjoy the proud old trees, the coloured night lights
and the beautiful gardens. You might feel as if you were in a fairy tale.
61. Why is Copenhagen
sure to change your mind ― that you are too old for
fairy tales? Because ______.
A. the Little Mermaid is Denmark’s best-known landmark
B. Copenhagen is a city of green spires and wooden
buildings that often appears in fairy tales
C. Copenhagen is like a dream-like watercolour
painting
D. Copenhagen
is a city where you find yourself in a fairy atmosphere
62. What do you think of the city?
A. A small quiet city which few city travelers visit.
B. An international trade port which is busy.
C. A beautiful ancient city with many travelers.
D. A city where some fairy stories happened.
63. Which of the following statements is NOT
true?
A. Mermaid is a character in one of Hans Christian Andersen’s
fantasies.
B. The 17th-century Church of Our Savior
is high.
C. Mermaid is a heroine in Denmark.
D. Copenhagen has less
traffic, noise and pollution in Europe.
64. Which title is the most suitable for the
passage?
A. The imaginary fairy city ― Copenhagen
B. Not only ancient but modern ― Copenhagen
C. City of green spires ― Copenhagen
D. A fairyland ― Copenhagen
B
The U.S.Department
of Labor statistics (统计) show that there is an oversupply
of college trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already
there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace
experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue
every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren’t
there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they
were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college
degree.
On the other hand, there is a great need for
skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV
repairmen.
These people have more
work than they can deal with, and their annual incomes are often higher than
those of college graduates. The old gap that white-collar workers make a better
living than blue collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and
demand now favors the skilled workmen.
The reason for this situation is the
traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. A
large part of American society matches success in life equally with a college
degree. Parents begin indoctrinating (灌输) their children with this myth
before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by
acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than
for life. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to
college or not doesn’t matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course
they must go. And every year college enrollments (入学) go up and up, and more and more graduates are overeducated for the
kinds of jobs available to them …
One result of this emphasis on a college
education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the
sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not
graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some
struggle on for two or three years and then give up.
65. It’s implied but not stated in
the passage that __________.
A. many other countries are facing
the same problem
B. white-collar workers in the US
used to make more money than blue-collar workers
C. fewer students will prefer to go to
college in the future
D. the law of supply and demand has a strong
effect on American higher education
66. Which of the following is NOT a reason
why college enrollments go up every year?
A. Many people believe that the
only way to success is a college education.
B. Many parents want their
children to go to college.
C. High school teachers urge their
students to go to college.
D. Every young man and woman wants
to go to college.
67. By saying that “many people go
to college who do not belong there,” the author means that ___.
A. many people who are not fit for
college education go to college
B. many people who do not have
enough money go to college
C. many people who go to college
drop out within the first year
D. many people who go to college
have their hopes destroyed
68. We can infer from the passage
that the author believes that ________.
A. every young man and woman
should go to college
B. college education is a bad thing
C. people with a college education
should receive higher pay
D. fewer people should go to college while more should be trained for
skilled jobs
C
My new home was a long way from the centre of London but it was becoming
essential to find a job, so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and
putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the
tube. They were looking for guards, not drivers. This suited me. I couldn’t
drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train, and perhaps
continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had
been doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an
insurance company. I would be a tube guard. I could see myself being cheerful,
useful, a good man in a crisis. Obviously I would be overqualified but I was
willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel
privileges ― those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from
the city centre.
The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other
candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have done all right because after
half an hour’s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This
time there were only about fifty candidates. The examiner sat at a desk. You
were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous
occupant had been dismissed, after a greater or shorter time. Obviously the
long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews were as
short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half.
I can remember the
questions now: “Why did you leave your last job?” “Why did you leave your job
before that?” “And the one before that?” I can’t recall my answers, except that
they were short at first and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement,
I thought, revealed (显露) a lack of sensitivity which helped to
explain why as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the underground
railway. “You have failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you
a position.”
Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I
thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually, such jobs ― being a postman is
another one I still desire ― demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness
that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still far short
of full self-understanding. I was also short of cash.
69．The writer applied for
the job because __________.
A．he wanted to
work in the centre of London
B．he could no
longer afford to live without one
C．he was not
interested in any other available job
D．he had received
suitable training
70．The writer thought he was
overqualified for the job because _________.
A．he often traveled
underground B．he had written many poems
C．he could deal
with difficult situations D．he had worked in an insurance company
71．The length of his
interview meant that _________.
A．he was too
nervous B．he had not done well in the intelligence test
C．he did not like
the examiner D．he had little work experience to talk about
72．What does the writer realize
now that he did not realize then?
A．How unpleasant
ordinary jobs can be. B．How difficult it can be to get a job.
C．How unsuitable
he was for the job. D．How badly he did in the interview.
D
Sometime in the next century, the familiar
early-morning newspaper on the front door will disappear. And instead of
reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the
computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will
distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects
the type of news you want. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want
to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the
entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer file you like. These
are among the predictions from communications experts working on the newspapers
of the future. Pictured as part of broader home-based media and entertainment
systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting,
offering news and analysis with video images of news events.
Most of the technology
is available now, but convincing more people that they don’t need paper to read
a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspapers may be
stronger from within journalism. “ Since it is such a cultural change, it may
be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die
off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no
longer a newspaper industry.” Technology is making the end of traditional
newspapers unavoidable.
Despite technological advances, it
could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30
to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and
because newspapers have established financial interests in the paper industry.
73．The best title for this passage is
______ .
A．Computer Newspapers Are Well Liked
B．Newspapers of the Future Will
Likely Be on Computer
C．Newspapers Are out of Fashion
D．New Communications Technology
74．It might take
30 to 40 years for computer newspapers to replace traditional newspapers,
because _____.
A．it is technologically impossible
now
B．computer newspapers are too
expensive
C．there is strong resistance from
both the general population and professional journalists
D．You can easily save information for
future use
75．Journalists are not eager to
accept computer newspapers, because ________.
A．they don’t know how to use
computers
B．they think computer newspapers
take too much time to read
C．they think the new technology is
bad
D．they have been trained to write
for traditional newspaper
76．We can infer from the passage that
_______.
A．all technological changes are good
B．all technologies will eventually
replace old ones
C．new technologies will eventually
replace old ones
D．traditional newspapers are here to
stay for another century
E
I’m usually fairly skeptical about any research that
concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain
of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might
be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was
struck by a report which concluded that today’s children are significantly more
anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal
children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who
were treated for mental illness 50 yeas ago.
Why are America’s
kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical
isolation (隔离) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in
community, among other things and a growing perception that the world is a more
dangerous place.
Considering that we can’t turn the clock back,
adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope (应付).
At the top of the list is nurturing (培养) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism.
No child is an island. Strengthening social ties help build communities and
protect individuals against stress.
To help kids build stronger connections with others, you
can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They
will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more
sleep.
Limit the amount of virtual violence your children are
exposed to. It’s not just from video games and movies; children see a lot of
murder and crime on the local news.
Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many
highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.
Make exercise part of your daily
routine. It will help you cope with your own anxiety and provide a good model
for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn’t have to ruin
your life.
77. The author thinks that the conclusions of
any research about people’s state of mind are _______.
A. surprising B.
confusing C.
illogical D.
questionable
78. What does the author mean by saying “we can’t
turn the clock back” (Para 3)?
A. It’s impossible to slow down the pace of change.
B. The social reality children are facing cannot be
changed.
C. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.
D. It’s impossible to forget the past.
79. According to the analysis, compared with normal
children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago ________.
A. probably suffered less from anxiety B.
were probably less self-centered
C. were considered isolated physically D.
were considered less individualistic
80. The first and most important thing parents
should do to help their children is ________.
A. to provide them with a safer environment B.
to lower their expectations for them
C. to get them more involved socially D.
to set a good model for them to follow
