第二部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）

第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

A

A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. Thats the finding of an extensive （廣泛的） study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed （消耗） at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish.

The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits， particularly to the heart.

Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States， with more than 550，000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence （發(fā)生率） of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths， for example， among the Eskimos of Greenland， who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day， and among the Japanese， whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.

During the past twenty years， 78% of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish， even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age， high blood pressure， or blood cholesterol levels.

21. How many lives could probably be saved each year in the United States by eating fish according to the Dutch study？

A. 275，000. B. 110，000. C. 550，000. D. 852.

22. Which of the following is true of the passage？

A. American people drink too much wine.

B. American people eat too much fatty fish.

C. Heart disease is the Americans most dangerous killer.

D. Americans eat more than 3 ounces every day.

23. The underlined words “This relationship” in Paragraph 4 refers to the connection between the incidence of heart disease and

____ .

A. regular fish-eating B. the kind of fish eaten

C. the amount of fish eaten D. people of different regions

24. What does the passage mainly talk about？

A. The changes in peoples diet in the United States.

B. The effect of eating fish regularly on peoples health.

C. The high incidence of heart disease in some countries.

D. The daily fish consumption of people in different cultures.

B

Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names： One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas， old habits died hard， and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.

Many roads and places in Singapore are named in order that the pioneers （先驅(qū)） will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries—in both the West and the East.

Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus—obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.

Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example， “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay （馬來語）. Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”？ The reason is simple. During the pioneering days， wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.

A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes， like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent （月牙） because it begins on the main road， makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.

25. What does the underlined phrase “died hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean？

A. Changed greatly. B. Changed suddenly.

C. Disappeared very slowly. D. Disappeared mysteriously.

26. What can we learn from Paragraph 1？

A. Many places tend to have more than one name.

B. A ceremony will be held when a place is named.

C. The government is usually the first to name a place.

D. The place names given by the government are more welcomed.

27. Bras Basah Road is named ____ .

A. by its shape B. after a place

C. after a person D. after an activity

28. What can be inferred from the passage？

A. Some place names in Singapore are the same as those in Britain.

B. Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes.

C. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique.

D. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.

Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5：30 and at 6：30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club. At last， the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door， she nearly tripped （絆倒） over Sheba.

“Hey， Sheba，” she said， “Ive got no time for you now， but Ill take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club.” Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking （窒息）. Obviously， she could hardly breathe. Immediately， Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet （獸醫(yī)）.

When she got there， the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba， Dr Sterne brought her quickly into his office.

“Listen， doctor， Im really in a rush to get to a meeting， can I leave her with you， and go and get changed？ Ill be back in ten minutes to pick her up， and then Ill take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK？”

“Sure，” said the doctor.

Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more entering the hallway， the phone by the door began to ring.

“This is Dr Sterne，” said an anxious voice. “I want you to get out of that house immediately，” said the doctors voice. “Im coming round right away， and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside！”

At that moment， a police car stopped with a loud noise outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived.

“Wheres Sheba？ Is she OK？” shouted Joanne.

“Shes fine， Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her， and shes OK now.”

Just then， the two policemen reappeared from the house， half-carrying a white-faced man， who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him.

“My God，” said Joanne， “how did he get in there？ And how did you know he was there？”

“I think he must be a burglar，” said the doctor. “I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Shebas throat： it turned out to be three human fingers.”

29. What was Joanne supposed to do at 6：30？

A. To walk her dog. B. To see her doctor.

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it， and to go into their offices or schools every day by train， car or bus， even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money， one can get a little house in the country with a garden of ones own.

Then， in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses， one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings， one can enjoy the fresh， clean air of the country. If one likes gardens， one can spend ones free time digging （挖掘） ， planting， watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then， when the flowers and vegetables come up， one has the reward （報(bào)償） of one who has shared the secret of Nature.

Some people， however， take no interest in country things： for them， happiness lies in the town， with its cinemas and theatres， beautiful shops and busy streets， dance halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnights （two weeks） visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want： the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.

33. Who have the reward of having shared the secret of Nature when the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up？

A. Those who live in the country. B. Those who have a garden of their own.

C. Those who have spent time working in the garden. D. Those who have been digging， planting and watering.

34. If people who think happiness lies in the town had to live it outside London， they would feel that ____ .

A. their life was invaluable B. their life was meaningless

C. they shouldnt lead a happy life D. they were not worthy of their happy life

35. What does the underlined word “rest” in the last paragraph probably refer to？

A. The rest time. B. The rest people.

C. The rest of the country. D. The rest of the parks and of the sea.

How can we all get more laughter into our lives？ Here is what the experts suggest：

36 Nancy Alguire， a teacher in Clifton Park， New York， was once painfully shy and had a hard time laughing. Then she married a circus clown. “I became interested in the clowns，” she recalls （回憶說）， “One day I put on a costume and paint my face. That afternoon my whole life changed. I learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way I had never done before.” 37 To this day， she still makes it a rule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing.

38 It doesnt take you too much time and can be easy. Collect favorite cartoons and jokes. Also， keep a paper for writing down humor you find in everyday life. “Good ideas come and go fast； you have to capture （捕捉） them quickly or they are gone，” says Virginia Tooper.

Laugh when you need it most. “ 39 ” says comedian Bill Cosby. “And once you find laughter， no matter how painful your situation might be， you can survive it，” he insists（堅(jiān)持說）.

Gray Alan， a sociology professor at the University of Minnesota， claims that laughter is a skill we can all gain—because it comes naturally. 40 Just remember： we are just here for a period， so get a few laughs.

A. Keep a laughter file.

B. Practice the art of laughing.

C. Mix with people who laugh.

D. He who laughs last laughs best.

E. Peoples joy can affect those around them.

F. You can soften the worst blows through humor.

G. But its also something that has to be developed.

My dad had a smart imagination， and we would play a little good-night game every day. He would 41 my room to talk to me and listen to the joys and 42 of my day. As he was leaving， Dad had a way of leaning （傾斜） back 43 the switch by my door and “magically” 44 out my light like the birthday candles on a 45 .

As he did his little routine， Dad would say， “The light will be dark for you. In 46 ， as far as youre concerned， it will be 47 all over the world because the only world you ever know is the one you 48 totally by yourself. So please 49 ， Son. Keep your light bright.

My fathers 57 about self-perception （自我感知） and about the power in the eye of the beholder （旁觀者） was invaluable： “Everything 58 how you want to look at what happens in life. It doesnt make any difference what is going on out there—what matters 59 is how you take it.”
