第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
第一节 阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
I am a person who does not like to wait．I don' t like lines, being put on hold when making a phone call, arriving at an appointment to find that my panion will be delayed and of course, I don * t like waiting rooms．
However, I realize that my agony(痛苦） will not be good for me, as an increasingly, crowded world can only mean one thing―more waiting．
Owing to this, I have taken a measure and decided to turn my disappointment to productive ends．In short, I am looking for what I call "waiting in line books"．
These are books that contain material designed for being read in shortened words, so there is no extended story line to lose track of．Another requirement is that they be small enough to slip neatly into my back pocket．
The other day I went to the supermarket．Convinced that the rain would keep most people away, I was surprised to see that the place was crowded with shoppers．Every checkout was open―and jammed! But I could take out my pocket book and go to work．
The more the world demands that I wait, the more I learn from my waiting library．Look at these titles: One Hundred Things Every American Should Know; The Poetry of Robert Frost; Living Thoughts of Leading Thinkers; Still More Toasts．I have learned interesting and enriching things and much knowledge from these books．
On a recent visit to the general store, I placed my order at the counter along with six or seven other people．The one female employee seemed to have her hands full as she rushed about．"Just be patient," she said to me．
No problem．I quietly opened my dictionary of prose （散文） and poetical quotations． Perhaps the other customers regarded me as a bookish, lonely soul．But little did they realize that I was enjoying the pany of Shakespeare, Thoreau, Homer and Ben Johnson．
56．Aording to the passage, the world ______．
A．needs to produce many materials to use B．is being more and more crowded
C．loses tracks of story line increasingly D．is crowded with shoppers everywhere
57．How did the author overe his agony of waiting?
A．By reading books designed to be read in shortened words．
B．By arriving early for an appointment．
C．By taking measures to produce some books for readers．
D．By keeping most people away from the supermarket for some reasons．
58．Which of the following can't be carried in the author's pocket?
A．One Hundred Things Every American Should Know
B．The Poetry of Robert Frost
C．Living Thoughts of Leading Thinkers
D．Homer and Ben Johnson
59．Which of the following statements is true aording to the passage?
A．The author sueeded in changing his agony into fun．
B．The author was a bookish and lonely soul.
C．Six or seven employees in the store were busy in rushing about．
D．There were fewer customers in the supermarket on rainy days．

B
With the growth of the European Union and increased globalisation, English is increasingly the lingua franc a（通用语） in European businesses, and those who speak it have bee the elite （精英）of the workforce．
In the past, only a few specialists in a pany were needed to municate with foreign businesses．However, in these days of multinational panies, where workers are required to municate with other employees from several countries, a mon language is essential and English has bee the logical choice．
Nowadays, even blue-collar workers in many panies are required to speak English．For example, just over three years ago, a Dutch pany．United Pan-European munications （UPC）, was contracted to build a TV studio in Amsterdam．The job involved many electricians―more than the pany could find in the herlands．There were plenty of qualified electricians in nearby France and Belgium, but the American and Dutch executives of UPC wanted everyone on the job to speak and understand the same language．So, the UPC hired British electricians and flew them to Amsterdam every Monday, aommodating them in hotels all over the city, and flying them home on Friday evenings．
Increasingly, workers who can speak English earn salaries 25-35% higher than those who can' t．They are also eligible （有条件被选中的） for a wider range of high-level jobs．
The problem is that, while the ability to speak English is fast being essential for getting a good job, there is a shortage of people who can speak it．Aording to a recent European mission report, only about 41% of continental Europeans can speak English, and only 29% speak it well enough to carry on a conversation．Many panies are solving this problem by setting up English language schools within the workplace．English language schools all over Europe are expanding at a huge rate, and governments are looking at ways to improve English tuition in schools．
One result of this modem urge to learn English is that a generation gap is appearing． Aording to a European Union study, 67% of Europeans between 15 and 24 say they can speak English while only 18% of those over 55 say they can．Increasingly, all over Europe, it is the children who are leading the parents．
60．In European panies, workers who speak English ________．
A．find it easy to carry on a conversation B．have an advantage over other workers
C．must be white-collar workers D．travel to many different countries
61．Why did the UPC hire the British electricians?
A．There were not enough electricians in nearby France and Belgium．
B．British electricians were more qualified than those in the herlands．
C．The UPC wanted all the employees to speak English．
D．The UPC meant to show they were rich enough to aommodate and fly them．
62．What can you learn from the passage about European people?
A．More young people can speak English well than older people.
B．67% Europeans can speak English very well．
C．18% of the people over 55 can't speak English．
D．Over half the people can speak English．
C
BERLIN ― With the crisis in Japan raising fears about nuclear power, Germany and Switzerland said on Monday that they would reassess（再次评估） the safety of their own reactors（[核] 反应堆）.
Doris Leuthard, the Swiss energy minister, said Switzerland would put off plans to build nuclear plants. She said no new ones would be permitted until experts had reviewed safety standards.
Germany will put off “the recently decided extension of the running time of German nuclear plants,” Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters. “This moratorium（延缓）will run for three months and it will allow for a thorough examination of the safety standards of the county’s 17 nuclear power plants.
The European Union called for a meeting on Tuesday of nuclear safety authorities to assess Europe’s preparedness.
Germany’s foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle, called for a new risk analysis of the country’s nuclear plants, particularly regarding their cooling systems. He is the leader of the Free Democratic Party, which strongly supports nuclear power.
A previous government, led by the Social Democrats, passed a law in 2001 to close all the country’s nuclear plants by 2021. But Mrs. Merkel’s government changed that decision last year to extend the lives of the plants by an average of 12 years.
In Switzerland, Doris Leuthard said she had already asked to analyze the exact cause of the problems in Japan and draw up new or tougher safety standards “particularly in terms of seismic(地震的，与地震相关的) safety and cooling.”
In Russia, the Prime Minister said his government would “draw conclusions from what’s going on in Japan.”
63. Where can you most likely read this passage?
A. In a newspaper.B. In a magazine.C. In a science report.D. In a diary.
64. How will Germany react to Japan’s nuclear crisis?
A. Germany will close all the country’s nuclear plants.
B. Germany will hold a meeting of nuclear safety authorities.
C. Germany will change the decision made last year.
D. Germany will delay the extension of nuclear plants running time.
65. The author mentions all the following EXCEPT ______.
A. The moratorium in Germany will give time to examine the nuclear plants safety standards.
B. Switzerland will not build new nuclear plants unless they meet the experts’ safety standards.
C. The Social Democrats in Germany shares the same view with the Free Democratic Party.
D. Russia will try to learn something from the nuclear power crisis in Japan.
66. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Watch Out for the Danger of Nuclear Power
B. Europe Is against Building Nuclear Plants
C. Nuclear Plants in Europe Are Delayed
D. Opinions on Nuclear Power Are Opposite

D

Who’s in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it’s other people ? society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious munity. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course．We were brainwashed．We discovered that feeling important and feeling aepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us．As Oscar Wilde puts it，“Most people are other people．Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions，their lives a mimicry(模仿)，their passions a quotation．”
So when people tell us how wonderful we are，it makes us feel good．We long for this good feeling like a drug―we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can．Therefore，we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives，failing to do the things we really want to．Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(一剂毒品)，we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval．
But just as with any drug，there is a price to pay．The price of the approval drug is freedom--the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think．People have their own schedule，and they e with their own baggage and，in the end，they’re more interested in themselves than in you．Furthermore，if we try to live by the opinions of others，we will build our life on sinking sand．Everyone has a different way of thinking，and people change their opinions all the time．The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process．
So how can we take back control? I think there’s only one way--make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think．We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values―not values imposed (强加于) from the outside by others，but inborn values which e from within．If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others，we will live a more authentic，effective，purposeful and happy life．
67. What Oscar Wilde says implies that ．
A. we have thoughts similar to those of others
B. other people’s thoughts are more important
C. most people’s thoughts are controlled by others
D. most people have a variety of thoughts
68. What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph?
A. We may lose ourselves to please others．
B. Changing opinions may cost us our freedom．
C. We need to pay for what we want to get．
D. The price of taking the drug is freedom．
69. It can be concluded from the passage that ．
A. it’s better to do what we like
B. it's important to aept others’ opinions
C. we shouldn’t change our own opinions
D. we shouldn’t care what others think
70. The author tries to persuade the readers to aept his arguments mainly by .
A. making suggestions
B. providing examples and facts
C. discussing questions
D. analyzing causes and effects

Most of us lead a busy life. 71 We think, “If I reached my goal, then I would be happy”, or “If I could get a better job, then I would enjoy life.” But why not enjoy life right now?
Firstly, take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings. 72 “There is a great big world of wonder and beauty around us!” And as Brodersen explains. “Look for the beauty of the sunrise and of a friend’s smile that brightens your day. Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not normally see. Doing so helps to cheer you up.”
Secondly, taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease your stress. Take me for example. 73 One universal simple pleasure is finding things that make you laugh. Make time to laugh every day.
Thirdly, don’t take your family and friends for granted. Rich, rewarding relationships add greatly to the enjoyment of life. When you think of someone, why not call, e-mail or write them? 74 As Wayne Lawton explains, “Invest time in relationships. Remove the attitude, what’s in it for me? Happiness is found in putting other’s interests, desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible. Selfishness is a dead-end street.” 75
A. I delight in simple things like my favorite tea drink, a bubble bath or family photos.
B. In my spare time, I enjoy collecting stamps and reading novels.
C. Driven by the “urgent”, we fet to enjoy life.
D. So please treasure relationship.
E. You don’t need to travel far to find beauty.
F. Be aware of beauty in nature.
G. A short e-mail or phone call can make a world of difference to someone.
