第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节: 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
One of the
qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s
mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was
wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were
right about that.”
I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons (箱子). Then he related an incident and I began to remember clearly the incident he was describing.
I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place.
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked(堆放) three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work.
The Manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees examining some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the criminal. He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested(抗议) my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, obviously the manager did not.
41. The author was ______ when he wrote this article.
A. about 8 B. about 18 C. about 23 D. about 15
42. Who should have been blamed for knocking off the stacks of cartons?
A. The author. B. The manager. C. The woman. D. The author’s mother.
43. When the manager scolded him the author _______.
A. was frightened and cried B. felt the manager was right
C. did not say anything D. tried to explain
44. It can be inferred that the author _______.
A. regrets arguing with the manager for what he didn’t do
B. has forgiven the manager for what he did to him fifteen years ago
C. would like to tell people never to be fooled by an egg sale
D. expects the woman to say sorry to him for the mistake she made
B
The “Wakamaru” robot can walk around a house 24 hours a day, warning family, hospitals and security firms if it notices a problem. It will, for example, call relatives if the owner fails to get out of the bath.
Cameras implanted(移植) in the “eye-brows” of the robot enable it to “see” as it walks around an apartment. The images can be sent to the latest cellphones, which display the pictures.
Wakamaru, which speaks with either the voice of a boy or girl, is also designed to provide companionship, greeting its “papa” when he comes home.
It is the first household robot able to hold simple conversations, based on a vocabulary of around 10,000 words. It cannot only speak but can understand answers and react accordingly.
Wakamaru will inform a security firm if there is a loud bang or if an unknown person enters the house while the owner is out or asleep. It can recognize up to 10 faces. But like most robots it cannot climb stairs.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industry, which developed Wakamaru, adapted Wakamaru from robots it already makes to go around nuclear power facilities (设施). The idea to use the technology in the home came from a company employee.
The technology has gained nation-wide publicity(宣传) in Japan among increasing concern over how to look after the ever-growing number of old people. The life expectancy of Japanese women has shot up to almost 85, the highest in the world.
At the same time, extended families are being replaced by nuclear families. This has left many Japanese anxious about their elderly parents, whom they rarely see because of their long hours at office.
45. Which of the following is true about the Robot?
A. It is used in some nuclear power facilities.
B. It cannot speak but can understand answers.
C. It can go up and down the stairs easily.
D. It can recognize as many as 10 faces.
46. The purpose of this passage is ______.
A. to introduce a new product
B. to solve the aging problem
C. to tell people how to use robot
D. to show the rapid development of technology
47. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The robot can dial proper numbers for help.
B. The robot is likely to have a promising market.
C. The robot has given the Japanese a chance to live longer.
D The nuclear families have left many elderly Japanese anxious.
48. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Latest Development of Technology
B. Japanese Robot and the Aging Society
C. Vast market of the New Robot
D. Japanese-built Robot to help the Old
C
Coca-Cola co., often viewed as a
symbol of modern American culture, said on Thursday it had got back a lost 1931
Painting from the famous
“The Barefoot Boy” was one of six Rockwell oil paintings commissioned(委托) by the soft drink giant between 1928 and 1935. Copies of the painting appeared on nearly 2 million Coca-Cola calendars , on posters and in window displays.
The painting, which shows a grinning(露齿笑) boy in straw hat and suspenders(吊带裤) holding a bottle of Coke and a sandwich, disappeared from public view shortly after it was produced. It was recently discovered in the hands of a retired Virginia executive(行政官).
Coca-Cola, the world’s No. 1 soft drink company, did not disclose how much it paid for the work, but did say its value was in line with other Rockwell pieces.
“The Barefoot Boy,” however, is believed to be worth a little bit more than $ 345,000 recently paid for “The Dugout,” a 1948 Rockwell oil painting.
“This is an exciting and important link to our heritage(传统) by the great artist Norman Rockwell and is reminding us of the Coca-Cola Co.’s deep connection over more than a century with the people who enjoy our products ,” said Coca-Cola Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Douglas Daft.
Rockwell, once criticized by art
critics as an over-commercial lightweight, gained widespread fame in the 1930s
and 1940s for works that often focused on the slow flow of life in rural
He died in 1978 at the age of 84.
Coca-Cola said it was possible “The Barefoot Boy” would be displayed in its
World of
It said it was still searching for the three missing Rockwell originals.
49. According to the passage, how many oil paintings did Rockwell paint for Coca-Cola?
A. One. B. Three. C. Six. D. Nine.
50. Why did Coca-Cola have those paintings painted at that time?
A. To show good will to society.
B. To show the artistic taste of Coca-Cola.
C. To use them in advertisements.
D. To show off its financial strength.
51. Which of the following statements about Rockwell’s work is true?
A. “The Dugout” was painted for Coca-Cola by Rockwell.
B. Coco-Cola paid Rockwell $ 345,000 for “The Dugout”.
C.
Coca-Cola sent “The Barefoot Boy” to a
D. Rockwell’s early paintings were mainly commercial.
52. Why is Coca-Cola trying to find the paintings?
A. Because those paintings are of great historical value and worth collecting.
B. Because those paintings reflect the connection between Coca-Cola and its
consumers.
C. Because they were painted by Rockwell, a famous painter, especially for Coca-Cola.
D.
Because Coca-Cola needs them in its World of

Acting is such an over-crowded profession(职业) that the only suggestion that should be given to a young person thinking of going on to the stage is “Don’t!” But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are slight. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and gift are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, publicity, taking care of the costumes, and even acting very small parts. It is very hard work indeed: the hours are long and the salary is tiny.
Of course, some people have very good chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop as he drove past in his car, so he stopped and got out to speak to the girl. He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to make Connie believe that he was serious. The test was successful. And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actor of the day. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!
53. From the very beginning, the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession ______.
A. too many are seeking B. not proper for young people
C. for clever people only D. for young people only
54. For someone who feels he must act, the author thinks it is very possible that ______.
A. he will become a film producer very soon
B. he will surely become a stage manager
C. he will be surely as well paid as any famous actor or actress
D. he will end up without any success
55. A few weeks after the test, Connie Pratt found herself ______.
A. the most famous actress of the world
B. playing the leading female part in a film
C. as famous as the greatest actor of the world
D. no less famous than the leading actor of the day
56. The concluding sentence “chances like this happen once in a blue moon” means “______”.
A. this is a very rare happening
B. this is a highly useful chance
C. this is something highly possible
D. this is something that happens once in a while

A
Ten years ago I used to be very fit. I cycled to work during the weekdays and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I had a job in an office, but I did not have many things to do, so I didn’t earn much. I knew it was not a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better. But the hours were a lot longer, too. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. “ Expense account lunches”. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more. There’s a lot of stress in a job like mine. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling the glass to the top. Then I had another glass, and then another. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.
56. Which of the following is TRUE about the writer ten years ago?
A. He cycled to work every day B. He got a lot of exercise every day.
C. He was very fit. D. He didn’t play basketball.
57. His first job was not very good because_______.
A. he had too much time to keep fit B. he didn’t earn much
C. he had much time to go for long walks D. he didn’t like to work in an office
58. He started drinking more than he used to because_______.
A. he used to have only half a glass of whisky when he got home
B. he just didn’t have any time for things he liked
C. he started smoking a lot
D. there is a lot of stress in a job like his.
59. What can we learn form the passage?
A. A job with lower pay is good.
B. A job with a higher pay is good
C. A person is usually tired from a job with a good pay.
D. A person should earn much money in his jo.
If a person tells you that something is “the real McCoy”, he is telling you it is the real thing, not a copy or replacement. There is nothing false about “ the real McCoy”. It is the best that can be found.
There are different ideas on how the expression came into common use. Perhaps the most popular story is about a famous boxer, Charles Kid McCoy, a one-time world famous welter-weight champion. One day, McCoy was having a drink in a bar with a lady friend. A man came up and began to talk to her. He was not a nice man.
McCoy wanted no trouble. He asked the man to leave. He said, “ I’m Kid McCoy.” McCoy thought his name was so well-known that he didn’t need to say more. But the man did not believe him. “Oh, yeah?” he said. “Well, if you are Kid McCoy, then I am George Washington!” And he continued to speak to the prize-fighter’s friend in an unpleasant way.
McCoy hit the man with a fist―not hard―actually it was really a light touch. But the man fell to the ground, unconscious. Ten minutes later, when he came to sense, he called out, “ that was the real McCoy!” And so, as told by Kid McCoy, that was how the expression “ the real McCoy” got started.
There are other versions, however. One is that the expression goes back to the days of prohibition(禁止) when it was illegal in the United States to sell whiskey. Although whiskey was against the law, many sold it. And many sold bad whisky. They were not afraid to do so, because there was so little that anybody could do about it. Buying whiskey, good or bad, was as illegal as selling it.
But there was one whisky dealer who was honest. His name was McCoy. He refused to sell bad whiskey. He sold only the best imported whiskey. His product became recognized as the best. It was called “the real McCoy”.
The expression survived prohibition days and soon became a general term. One way or another, no matter how the expression began, “ the real McCoy” is an expression that everyone understands. It means the one and only---- the best one. They are indeed words of special praise.
60. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. It is about the exact meaning of the version.
B. It tells how a person gets his name.
C. It shows how to tell the real from the false.
D. It explains how to find the best.
61. In the third paragraph, “the prize-fighter” refers to ______.
A. a champion B. George Washington C. a fellow D. McCoy
62. Which of the following is TRUE about the days of prohibition?
A. A national law forbade the sale of alcoholic drinks.
B. Bad whiskey was not allowed to sell.
C. People at that time preferred nothing but whiskey.
D. The days of prohibition resulted in McCoy’s selling wine.
63. What is the main idea of the whole passage?
A. The story of a famous boxer
B. The general use of the version.
C. The expression and its story.
D. The friendship between an athlete and a seller.
C
Lateral（横向的）thinking, first described by Edward de None in 1967, is just a few years older than Edward’s son. You might imagine that Caspar was raised to be an adventurous thinker, but Edward de Bone was so famous, Caspar’s parents worried that any time he would say something bright at school, his teachers might snap. “Where do you get that idea from?”
“We had to be
careful and not to overdo it,” Edward admits. Now Caspar is at Oxford―which
once looked unlikely because he is also slightly dyslexic(诵读困难). In
fact, when he was applying to
Thinking is traditionally regarded as something done in a logical order, and everybody knows that children aren’t very logical. So isn’t it an uphill battle, trying to teach them to think? “ You know,” Edward de Bone says,” if you examine people’s thinking, it is quite unusual to find faults of logic. But the faults of perception(知觉)are huge! Often we think ineffectively because we take too limited a view.
Teach Your Child How to Think offers lessons in perception improvement, of clearly seeing the implications of something you are saying and of exploring the alternatives.
64. What is TRUE about Caspar?
A. He first described lateral thinking.
B. He is often scolded by his teachers.
C. He is Edward’s son
D. He is an adventurous thinker.
65.
Caspar succeeded in applying to
A. he used in the exam the techniques provided by his father
B. he read the book Teach Your Child How to Think before the exam
C. he was careful and often overworked
D. his school teachers thought he had a chance
66. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that Edward_______.
A. was prompted（促使）to study lateral thinking because his son was lightly dyslexic
B. once taught businessmen how to think before he wrote for parents and children
C. was likely to improve children’s logic with his book
D. gave a description of lateral thinking several years after his son was born
67. Lateral thinking refers to the following EXCEPT_________.
A. seeing the implications of what you are saying
B. exploring the alternatives for what you are saying
C. improving one’s logic in thinking
D. improving one’s perception in thinking

Students may be smart, savvy（有见识的）, and have spotless resumes(履历表). But unless they also have sartorial sense, they may not fare well on the job market. That’s the premise(前提)behind the “Suitable Suits” program at Barnard College.
The Office of Career Development keeps a closet filled with 21 crisp, black suits that students can borrow for job interviews. Students make an appointment with the office and agree to dry-clean the garments before returning them.
“Students going into sectors like education or not-for-profit work are not going to have to own a suit and don’t want to invest a couple of hundred dollars,” says Kim C. Barberich, associate director of programs at the women’s college.
And yet, as many recent college graduates will prove, the all-important “ first impression” often seems to play a key role in whether or not a job applicant is successful in the interview. At least as much as hygiene(卫生), posture and eye contact, formality of dress can influence the way an interviewer sizes up a candidate.
“Helen Rodriguez,
a junior majoring in history, borrowed a suit last month to interview for a
summer internship with a city-council member in
Suitable Suits started in the spring of 2004 and was paid for with a grant from the Goldman Sachs Group. Around 120 students have borrowed suits so far.
After 11 long days, Ms. Rodriguez heard back from the council member’s office. She got the job. “I am very grateful to the Suitable Suits program,” she wrote in an e-mail message. “I truly believe that it helped me form a positive first impression at the interview.
68. The “sartorial sense” in the first paragraph refers to _______.
A. social awareness B. sense of dressing
C. first impression D. table manners
69. What does the Suitable Suits program do?
A. Give students advice on studying.
B. Give students advice on how to find a job.
C. Lend proper suits to job-hunting students to make a good first impression
D. The author did not tell us.
70. What is the author’s attitude towards the program?
A. Supportive B. Critical C. Indifferent D. Ironical
E
Design is the act of making something better. Everything, no matter how ordinary, has been designed.
That some objects give us no special pleasure or are not fashionable does not change the fact that somebody decided what they would look like, what they would do and how they would be used.
Every time you buy a new kettle or toaster, the quality of the design is influential, encouraging you to choose one kettle or toaster over the others. Good design works well. Excellent design works well. Take the Alessi kettle, with its curved handle and two-tone whistle. It looks very exciting but the handle can get too hot to touch. Compare this with the familiar Russell Hobbs automatic electric kettle. It has been in production since the late 1950s, works perfectly and looks good.
Poor designs are easy to find. If you cannot see what is at the back of the kitchen cupboard without getting down on your hands and knees, that is a bad design. If you catch your sleeve on a door handle, that is a bad design. If you cannot understand how to use the controls on your cooker without searching for the Instruction Book ? and if, when you find the book, you still cannot work the timing switch, that is a very bad design.
The question is: how, when these kinds of faults are so obvious, have some designs ever reached our homes?
The answer is that in most cases, bad designs emerge because not enough energy and tie are give to think through all the different questions that should be asked about the product.
Kitchen cupboard makers will say that they are making cupboards as economically as possible. This kind of “cheapness” is one of the main reasons for the absence of good design in our homes. To make a cupboard where the shelves swing out to display the contents when the door is opened is more expensive.
72. What does the passage say good designers think about?
A. What will influence people B. How things will be used
C. What people are used to D. What is fashionable
73. What was wrong with the Alessi kettle?
A. The design was old-fashioned B. It was too round
C. It was unreliable. D. The design was impractical.
74. In what way are some cookers badly designed?
A. The instruction books have no diagrams.
B. The handles stick out too far.
C. It is difficult to find the controls.
D. Using the timing switch is a confusing process.
75. Why do badly-designed things get made and sold?
A. Because there are to few designers.
B. Because they are quicker and cost less to make.
C. Because manufacturers pay low wages to designers.
D. Because designers do not know enough about manufacturing processes.
