第三部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40 分)

第一节:（共15小题; 每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下面四篇文章，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

He’s an old cobbler(修鞋匠)with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris. When I took him my shoes, he at first told me, “I haven’t time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street; he’ll fix them for you right away.”

But I’d had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather. I knew he was a skilled craftsman(手艺人). “No,” I replied. “the other fellow can’t do it well.”

“The other fellow” is one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait” — without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly，and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap(鞋带)you might as well just throw away the pair.

The man saw I wouldn’t give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron, looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said. “Come back in a week.”

I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.

“See what I can do? ” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.” When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend , this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hat, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft.

These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption(消费)rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done. 56. Which of the following is true about the old cobbler? A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools. B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais. C. He was proud of his skills. D. He was a native Parisian.

57. The underlined part “He was something out of an ancient legend” (Paragraph 7) implies that

_________.

A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him B. it was difficult to communicate with this man C. the man was very strange D. the man was too old

58. According to the author, many people work just to_________. A. realize their abilities B. gain happiness C. make money D. gain respect 59. This story wants to tell us that _________. A. craftsmen make a lot of money B. whatever you do, do it well C. craftsmen need self-respect D. people are born equal

B

For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer. For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone’s life as nothing.

Cold can affect other parts of the body. The expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.

The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.

A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted．Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers.

Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise---he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.

60. There are _________ expressions related to cold that are mentioned in the passage.

- 4 -

A. 3 B. 4 C. 6 D. 7

61. If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will say _________.

A. she is a cold-blooded killer B. she gets cold feet C. she is a cold fish D. she is out in the cold

62. We can use the expression “_________” to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy. A. cold-blooded B. cold shoulder C. cold feet D. cold-hearted 63. The topic of this passage is about_________. A．the relationship between cold and our body B．some expressions about friendship C．some expressions connected with cold D．how cold weather comes into being
