第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每篇短文所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

There are about one million English words in all. English is also an international language in this society. You can see English words almost everywhere, even in non-English-spoken countries.

How did English come into being? Why does it have so large a vocabulary? In the following passage, I will give you a general picture about these two questions.

The English people are of a mixed blood. The early inhabitants of the island we now call England were the Britons, but in fact all the races were invaders who came from Europe. Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during the first century BC, but there had been at least three invasions before that. The first of these was by a dark-haired Mediterranean race called the Iberians. The other two were by Celtic tribes: one is the Gaels, whose descendants are the modern Scots and Irish; the other is the Britons, who gave their name to the whole island of Britain. These were the people whom the Romans conquered. The Romans gave the Britons a good deal of their civilization. Then at the beginning of the fifth century Britain was invaded by three tribes from the northern Europe: the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. These three tribes merged into one people, and the three dialects they spoke

5

naturally grew into a single language, the English language.

51. Which of the following can best describe the main idea of the passage? A. The development of English. B. How did English come into being? C. English vocabularies. D. English

52. What will be dealt with if we continue the passage?

A. The importance of English. B. The English grammar C. The reason why English has such a large vocabulary. D. Some influences on English

53. which of the following named the island of Britain?

A. The Iberians. B. The Romans. C. The Gaels. D. The Britons. B

As a third-year high school student, I feel that students today study English merely for the. purpose of getting high scores in all sorts of so-called English exams. This phenomenon misleads students like my classmates into making a great effort to deal with English exams, not the rich language itself. Needless to say, it is unfortunate.

I started the voyage in the, ocean of the English language at an early age. Being fed up with reciting each word taught in every class, I soon gained the idea that English was a bore! Luckily for me, under the vivid pen of Charlotte Bronte, the life of Jane Eyre touched me so. much that. I spent several sleepless nights, to read the whole book. This marked the change of my attitude towards English from hating to loving. I began to be inspired by the wisdom of European and American literature written in English and was amazed by the beauty and richness of the language. As time went by, the more I read, the more lovely I found English was. I could still remember one winter vacation when I raced into one school library to borrow my longed-for English novels. At night, when soft light spread on the pages, my expecting heart beat with the author’s. I was so eager to get on with my reading that I could hardly sleep. My world had come alive! I was 16 at the time.

Now, I am often asked why I read so many “useless” things in English and how to study English well. My response would be, “Learn English as a language, not as an exam subject.” Then, I caught sight of disappointed eyes and doubts. Indeed, that’s what I concluded from my study of the English language. Honestly, to me, English is truly a magic box that can grab my soul and absorb my entire mind. It’s filled with wisdom and adventures which are hard to explain and share. I believe many people would agree with me and be sorry for the present situation of high school English teaching. So I’d like to call upon English learners and friends to save our beloved English from being mis-conducted.

54. What makes the writer feel unsatisfied in studying English?

A. The writer’s starting learning English too early. B. The incorrect aim of studying English. C. The boring English. D. The “useless” things in English. 55. Who does the writer think are to blame for the unfortunate English study? A. The writers friends. B. The students.

6

C. The parents. D. The English teachers. 56. When do you think the writer read the English literature? A. At night. B. In school.

C. In one of the school libraries. D. In English classes. 57. What brought the writer interest in English again? A. New English words. B. American literature. C English novels. D. English exams. C

Think you’re worth more money than you’re making? Maybe it’s time to ask your boss for a raise. Tory Johnson, CEO of Women for Hire, offered these tips:

★Don’t jump over the process. Many people avoid having a conversation about salary because they are uncomfortable talking about money. They also think that any request they make will fall on deaf ears. That’s a cop-out (逃避). You have to be willing to step up to the plate.

★Do list your achievements. Think about your performance, the demands of your position, your past and future responsibilities, and your track record for the past year.

★Don’t get emotional. In an effective negotiation(协商), focus on being respected and fairly compensated(补偿). You’re asking for more money because you’re smart and competent, not because someone likes you as a friend.

★Do research comparable salaries. Before discussing salaries with your boss, do your homework and find out the going salary in your industry. Figure out what comparable positions pay based on levels of experience and education. Check with the Department of Labor statistics (数据), survey sites such as Salary. com, and industry-specific trade associations. It’s okay to ask friends what they make, but realize that they may inflate(夸大) their answers.

★Don’t make empty threats. If you tell your boss you are going to leave unless you receive a 10 percent raise, then be fully prepared to pack your bags.

★Do offer alternatives to a large-increase pay. If the company won’t move your base salary, see if they will agree to a bonus(奖金), a better title, more vacation time or anything else that is important to you.

58．You can do all of the following for a raise EXCEPT . A．negotiate with your boss directly B．make empty threats C．ask for a bonus D．list your achievements 59．According to the passage, the underlined part “the plate” in Paragraph 2 refers to .

A．the deaf ears B．your achievements C．a dish of meal D．asking for a raise 60．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．When asking for a raise, you should stay calm.

B．Asking your friends what they make is not of help if you want to ask for a raise.

C．Once you have a conversation with your boss about salary, you’ll be fired.

7

D．Browse Salary. com and you’ll have a good relationship with your boss. 61．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Don’t Be Nervous for Money B．Have A talk with Your Boss C．How to Ask for A Raise D．Asking for Money Is Not A Shameful thing

D

Father’s Day

The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.

However, the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a selfless and loving man. Sonora’s father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spikane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.

In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Roses are the Father’s Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.

When children can’t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad. 62. At first, Father’s Day was fixed on June 19th because ______. A. Sonora honored her father on her father’s birthday B. Sonora’s birthday was June 19

C. it was decided by the president at that time D. her mother died on June 19

63. How many years has passed before Father’s Day became an official day since the father’s day was celebrated?

A. 4 B. 10 C. 14 D. 24

64. According to the passage, on Father’s Day, ______.

A. people will wear the same flowers to honor their fathers B. only daughters wear red flowers to honor their fathers C. children must go home to honor their fathers D. fathers are often honored in different ways

65. According to the passage, we can infer that Henry Jackson Smart ______. A. was very kind to anyone B. did a lot for his daughter

C. was the first father honored in 1924 D. always helped others by giving money
