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,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

        When the musical sound rings out, you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chat. But although you probably use it all the time, have you ever stopped to think about the manners related to talking on the phone?
        If you haven't, here are some tips to guide you.
        ●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up. If the person who answers is not the one you want, give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want.
        ●Think about the time you call people. Try not to call too early in the morning (before about 9: 00) or too late at night (after about 9:30). Also try not to call at mealtimes.
        ●If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions. Cell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival.
        ●When face-to-face with someone, do not talk on the phone. It is rude to be on the phone when a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant, or when you are returning the shoes you have just been trying on in a shop.
        Finish any face-to-face business before taking a call. Continuing to use the phone while nodding to the person in front of you is quite impolite.
       ●When in a restaurant with your friends, keep phone conversations short. Make a call only if it is important. Practise speaking in a low voice. If no one looks your way, you've got it
        ●If you go to a theatre, a concert or a cinema, consider the other people around you. Check that your phone is "off" before you enter. If you are expecting a very important call, you're your phone on "vibrate" (振动) and run for the exit as soon as you feel it. If you forget both "off" and "vibrate" and your phone rings, don't answer it, turn it off straight away.

56. Which is true according to the passage above?
A. You may call people anytime as you like.
B. You may talk loudly on the phone at dinner in the restaurant.
C. You may keep on talking on the phone while greeting somebody.
D. You may call people as soon as you get on the plane, but not after the doors are closed.
57. We may infer from these tips that ________.
A. some people don't pay much attention to manners while making cell phone calls
B. you may ask to leave a message unless the person you are calling is in
C. calling people too early or too late in the morning is not polite
D. almost everyone has got a ceil phone
58. What does the underlined sentence "...you've got it" mean in the passage?
A. You have succeeded in making a call without disturbing others.
B. You have made the phone call brief and interesting.
C. You've got the message you are waiting for.
D. You have made a phone call secretly.
59. From the tips given above, we can decide the writer is sure to share the opinion that _____.
A. like the saying "clothes make a man," nowadays cell phones make a man
B. as the old saying goes, money talks; nowadays cell phones talk
C. the way we use the cell phones tells what we are like
D. we are what cell phones we use

B

        Imagine that you are on a jury (陪审团) and you hear the testimony of an eyewitness who says that the accused person is guilty. You would probably vote to convict the accused, don't you think? Well, more often than not, you'd be wrong.
        A few years ago, an experiment was done on an evening news show on WNBC in New York. Viewers were shown a film of what seemed to be a mugging. In this simulation (模拟), a man snatched a woman's purse. He then knocked her down and ran face forward at the camera so that the viewers got a good look at him. Viewers were then shown a lineup of six men. They were asked to decide if the mugger was in the lineup and, if so, to tell which one he was. In effect, then, they had seven choices. The suspect (嫌疑犯) was either one of the six or he wasn't even in the lineup.
        Of the 2,145 people who called up to respond, 1,843 were wrong. That means about one in seven was right. This is what you'd expect from random choice.
        Eyewitness accounts can be the most convincing evidence presented to a jury. Yet we are finding out that such accounts can be faulty. Something is just wrong. Why is this so? Recent findings have removed doubts on whether memory can last long. We also know that it can be changed by things such as leading questions. Mistaken eyewitness accounts are common. They are also the major cause of innocent (无罪的) persons being convicted in the United States.

60. The underlined words "to convict the accused" probably means ________.
A. to show that the accused is wrong
B. to express that the accused person is true
C. to declare that the accused person is guilty
D. to explain that the eyewitness is dangerous
61. Of the people who called up to respond, ________.
A. half of them were right B. 2, 145 were on a jury
C. six out of seven were wrong D. 1,843 made seven choices
62. We also know that _________ can be changed.
A. evidence B. memory C. eyewitness D. accounts
63. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Evidence should be more convincing.
B. Eyewitness accounts can be wrong.
C. Not all judges are good at their jobs.
D. Major causes of innocent persons being convicted.

C

        Not long ago, making a baby boy or a baby girl was pretty much a hit-or-miss affair, but not any more now .Parents who have access to the genetic testing techniques (基因检测技术) can now predetermine their baby s sex with great accuracy, as Monique and Scott Collins learned to their delight two years ago, when their long-wished-for daughter Jessica was born after genetic pre-screening at a fertility clinic in Fairfax, Virginia.
        And baby Jessica is just the beginning. Within a decade or two, it may be possible to screen kids almost before pregnancy (怀孕),such as how tall they are likely to be, what body type they will have, their hair and eye color, and even their IQ and personality type.
        In fact, if gene therapy lives up to its promise, parents may some day be able to go beyond weeding out undesirable trails and start actually inserting the genes they want, perhaps even genes that have been crafted in a lab .Parents may be going to fertility clinics and picking from a list of choices the way car buyers order air conditioning or wheels. "It's the most exciting "shopping" experience designing your baby," says biotechnology (生物工艺学) critic, Jeremy Rifkin. who is concerned about the prospect (前景). "In a society that is used to cosmetic surgery (整形手术) ,this is not a big step."
        The prospect of designer babies, like many of the ethical (伦理的) problems caused by the genetic revolution, is causing the doctors, ethicists, religious leaders and politicians of the whole world to start a fierce conflict, who are trying to decide how they feel about it all.
        They still have a bit of time. Apart from gender, the only trails that can now be identified at the earliest stages of development are about a dozen of the most serious genetic diseases. Gene therapy in embryos (胚胎) is at least a few years away. And the gene or combination of genes responsible for most of our physical and mental attributes hasn't even been identified yet, so the idea of engineering genes in or out is of no practical meaning.

64. What is gene therapy supposed to do if it lives up to its promise?
A. Screen a baby for sex.
B. Choose a baby's eye color.
C. Implant genes.
D. Identify genetic disorder.
65. According to the passage, what scientists can do with the genetic testing technology now is to _________.
A. screen a baby's sex
B. screen babies for desirable qualities
C. put in genes parents want
D. craft genes in a lab
66. What can best describe Jeremy Rifkin's attitude toward designing babies through gene therapy?
A. Strongly supportive. B. Warmly welcome.
C. Uninterested. D. Critical.
67. From the passage we know that _________.
A. designing babies is purely scientific not to cause ethical problems
B. designing babies may bring people a lot of ethical concerns
C. scientists are now working against time to design babies
D. people are concerned about the harm done to science by designing babies

D

        No poem should ever be discussed or "analyzed," until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end. All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling "interpretation" of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it.
        I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than "analyzing" it, if there isn't time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is "a criticism of life," and "a heightening (提升) of life." It is "an approach to the truth of feeling," and it "can save your life."
        I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.

68. To have a better understanding of a poem, one should ________.
A. discuss it with others
B. analyze it by oneself
C. copy it down in a notebook
D. practise reading it aloud
69. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry? ________
A. Extending your life. B. Saving your life
C. Criticizing life D. Heightening life
70. According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students ________.
A. to understand life B. to enjoy poetry
C. to become teachers D. to become poets
71. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply? _________
A. More stress was laid on the understanding of poetry in the past.
B. Poetry is more important than any other subject.
C. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.
D. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.

        You may have heard some respectable elders say, "It's not what you want in this world, but what you get."
        Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.
        You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If we intend to give a dinner for friends, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, and decide which food to cook first, and such planning is essential for any type of meat to be served.
        Likewise, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your service.
        This account of yourself is actually a description of your working life and should include education, experience and references. Such an account is valuable. It can be referred to filling out standard application blanks and it is extremely helpful in personal interviews. While talking to you, your could-be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications will pay him to employ you, and your abilities must be displayed on an orderly and reasonably connected manner.
        When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something exact to sell. Then you are ready to hunt for a job. Get all the possible information about your could-be job. Make your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment. Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking in the employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Obtaining a job is your job now!

72.When the elders say "It's not what you want in the world, but what you get," they mean_____.
A. you'II certainly get what you want
B. it's no use dreaming but be practical
C. you should never be satisfied with what you have
D. it's essential to be ambitious
73. A blueprint made before inviting a friend to dinner is used as _________.
A. a set rule for job hunters
B. an example of how to plan important things ahead
C. a suggestion on how to get a good job
D. a guideline for a job description
74. Writing an account of yourself before starting to get a job _________.
A. is the first step to please the employer
B. is the requirement of the employer
C. enables you to know when to sell yourself
D. makes you aware of your abilities and desires
75. In the passage, the author mainly intends to point out the importance of _________.
A. writing up a detailed plan for a job interview
B. drawing a description of your working life
C. keeping a blueprint of what you want to do
D. seeking the employment you want
