第一节 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A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。

A

My father, who was born and raised in Glasgow of Irish heritage, believed himself to be an Irishman. It was because of history, he said, and politics that had brought his family to Scotland. He was the son of a British soldier, my grandfather, Michael, who was killed in the Second World War.

Much of his life, I always suspected, was hugely affected by the loss of his father, after whom I was named. Even though my father was just a baby when his father died, a little part of him died too. So, in many ways, he invented (虚构) his father. And he invented some of his father",s people too. We all did. And, I believe, we all do.

Even though we never attended matches together, football took much time in our lives. He took me everywhere to play for my local clubs and school teams. As a youngster I had trials with Middlesborough, Morton and Dundee, amongst others. My father",s old second-hand Volkswagen truck ran me to most of these places regardless of how far or what the weather was like.

In 2002, aged 58, my father suffered a serious stroke, leaving him unable to walk or talk. For the past 12 years he has largely been limited to his bed or armchair. Throughout this time he

has sat in silence in a chair in the living room of my parent",s house, staring out the windows at the birds and the trees and listening to the echoes (回音) from our childhood past. And I know, more than anything, he realizes now that all he ever really wanted was to live, and that the past no longer mattered. His real story was here, with my mother, and with his children.

In November last year we went to only our second match together. I had discovered a lot about my father. My brother, a police officer in Northern Ireland now, came too. Likewise, my daughter, Mahoney, who pushed her grandfather in his wheelchair and gradually came to understand a little bit more about his life as well as mine. 26.Why did the author",s father and his family move to Scotland?

A.They moved to Scotland to avoid the war. B.His father had to work in Scotland. C.They hoped to have a happy life in Scotland. D.They came to Scotland for historical reasons. 27.Why did the author",s father invent his father?

A.The author",s father was a soldier. B.The author",s father was a success. C.The author",s father lived a depressive life. D.The author",s father was once a football player. 29.How did the author",s father spend the past twelve years?

A.The stroke left him limited to the wheelchair. B.He lived in his memory of the family and children. C.He lived a peaceful life and enjoyed nature very much. D.He suffered from the loss of the ability to move or talk. 30.What can be the best title of the passage?

My son is 13 and has been going to Rob Roy Amateur Boxing Club for the past three years. Before this he was hitting punch bags (沙袋) and skipping with me since he was about seven. I train at the club with him though I am already 46 years old. I am not a boxer, but I love the sport and the training and how it challenges an individual",s sense of being and sense of self.

I train alongside him and the other boys at the club. There are those who will go on to make careers out of boxing and it will be a tough journey ahead. There are others who go to keep fit and strong and others who are just trying to keep on the right path. I admire them all. What boxing gives, regardless of the level, is a determination to focus and develop a belief in oneself.

In truth I am not entirely sure I want my handsome young boy to do boxing. Yet, despite my concerns, I know he is more than capable, from skill, strength and mental aspects, and that he

B.My Father Grew Up in Scotland

C.Father Lived a Silent Life D.I Love My Father

loves the sport.

Boxing challenge is your physical being. Even when you shadow box you move against an imaginary opponent (对手). This is what you will do the rest of your life, no matter whether it",s sport, business, academic career or the arts that you are involved in. There is always someone in front of you. Your confidence in dealing with them is crucial. Some years ago I interviewed the legendary boxer Ken Buchanan. Asked finally why he fought, he looked straight at me and said: “Son, we",re all fighters, every single one of us. Fighting is the first sport of every man and woman. From the minute we",re born, we",re fighting to breathe, to open our eyes. We",re fighting to walk and we",re fighting to talk.

C

There have been plenty of evidences and researches to show that women are better at communicating than men, at least when it comes to perceiving (理解) and expressing feelings. However, regardless of their social status, age, or level of education, it seems that men tend to hold the audience",s attention more easily than women do. Studies report that both male and female audiences tend to listen more attentively to male speakers than female speakers. Besides, even when the speeches are basically the same, audiences also tend to remember more information from speeches given by male speakers than from those given by female speakers. Even at a meeting, another study finds, audiences are more focused and less absent-minded when listening to a man than they are when listening to a woman.

Before we jump into a conclusion and decide these findings are all gender-biased, it is noteworthy that these findings can be explained from the biological point of view. The lower tones which men speak in are often easier on the ears. On the other hand, a high-pitched (尖厉的) voice, which is characteristic of women",s voice, may not seem favorable for the audience",s ears, and in turn may prevent people from actually hearing the information hidden in a speech.

Actually, as it turns out, it is men that talk more than women do, especially when they feel an urge to show off their expert knowledge or dispense their opinions when asked. This assumption has been backed by studies, which show that men really enjoy talking, or bragging, in their field of knowledge. In fact, men tend to give more and longer answers than necessary to the questions they are asked. In one study, for instance, when asked to give their opinions on a new cell phone, men spoke for thirteen minutes each on average, while women spoke for only three minutes each on average. 36.What is the main idea of this text?

A.Men tend to command the audience",s attention easier than women because of biological reasons.

B.A person",s social status, age, and level of education have nothing to do with his speaking abilities.

C.Women are better than men in communicating with people because they are more sensitive.

D.Men are likely to be better speakers because they can easily perceive and express feelings. 37.According to Paragraph 1, we can learn that . A.men are not easy to communicate with

B.people tend to pay more attention to a male speaker",s speech C.female audiences tend to listen more attentively to male speakers D.audiences are more absent-minded when listening to a male speaker 38.The world “dispense” in the last paragraph means “ ”. A.analyse B.give C.hide D.prevent

39.Men actually talk more than women probably because . A.men like to impress other people with their strong urges B.men usually don",t shy away from expressing their feelings C.men tend to show off their expert knowledge whenever possible D.men have different tones and pitches from women when they speak 40.According to the text,we can infer that .

A.if something is gender-biased, it treats both sexes equally

B.the older a speaker is, the more attractive his speech will be

C.a speaker",s voice contributes a lot to the attraction of his speech

D.men",s high-pitched voice makes them easier to hold the audience",s attention

D

There was once a little village separated from the sea by a forest. That forest was the village",s best defence against the storms of the sea. But the forest was in danger, because a small group of evil beings came every night to cut down some of the trees.

The villagers could do nothing but constantly plant new trees. And for generations, such was life for the tree planters. Each family was responsible for replanting a particular area.
