    Ⅱ   阅读(共两节，满分50分)
    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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do，and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made; washing can go to the laundry; food can be bought; cooked，canned or preserved; bread is baked and delivered by the baker; milk arrives on the doorstep; meats can be had at the restaurant，the work’s canteen，and the school dining-room.
    It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home，and his children rarely，if ever，see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation，and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money，and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work，but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child’s home life，the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages father is seldom the dominant figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages accrue，but children lose something of great value if mother’s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.
    26. The writer mentions home as workshop because______.
    A. fathers often pursue employment at home
    B. parents had to make food and necessity themselves for their daily-life
    C. many families produce goods at home for sale
    D. both fathers and mothers and mothers in most families are workers
    27. The writer says that home has become much less of a workshop. He means______.
    A. in the past, home was more like a workshop
    B. home is much more of a workshop now
    C. home-workshops are becoming fewer and fewer
    D. home was less like a workshop in the past
    28. The word“accrue”in the sentence“When mother...accrue，”is closest in meaning to
    __________________.
    A. change                            B. dwindle                    C. double                     D. increase
    29. The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation is ___________________.
    A. that children nowadays rarely see their fathers at their place of work
    B. that fathers do not like to pursue employment at home any more
    C. that there is a wide choice of employment for children
    D. that children also like to have jobs outside
    30. What makes father no longer the only dominant person in a family?
    A. With their earning，mother and children do not need to depend on father for their life.
    B. There are many choice of employment for mothers and children.
    C. Father does much less for his children today than he used to.
    D. The number of married women in employment has increased greatly now.

I had to prove that I was just as good as they were.

    Most young architects ----particularly those in big cities ----can only dream about working in a building of their own. And marking that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brain Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical –parts firm in Atlanta. Form the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting(生锈的) walls.
    In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the city’s West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition(拆除), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building, The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was there – the walls, the rust, the light,” Yocum said.” Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. It’s like an art installation(装置) in there-a slow-motion show.”
    Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer(缓冲) zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond.
    Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.
    小题1: According to the passage, it is      for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own.
    A．easyB．unnecessaryC．unrealisticD．common
    小题2:Yocum bought the old building because  __.
    A．it was a bargain to himB．it was still in good condition
    C．it was located in the city centerD．it looked attractive from the outside
    小题3: Working on the old building, Yocum and Bell＿.
    A．pulled rubbish out through the roofB．removed the skylights from the bathroom
    C．presented a slow–motion show in an art gallery
    D．built a kitchen at the back part of the old building
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell __.
    A．benefited a lot from pulling down the roofB．turned more old buildings into art galleries
    C．got inspiration from decorating their old building
    D．paid more attention to the outside of the gallery
    小题5:The main idea of the passage is that __.
    A．people can learn a lot from their failures
    B．it is worthwhile to spend money on an old building
    C．people should not judge things by their appearance
    D．creative people can make the best of what they have

    Though your parents probably meant to have your name last a lifetime, remember that when they picked it they’d hardly met you, and the hopes and dreams they cared for when they chose it may not match yours. If your name no longer seems to fit you, don’t lose heart. Film stars change their names, and with some determination, you can, too.
    If you wish to pick up a new name, you don’t need to make the change official. Under common law, all that is necessary is to start using the name of your choice. Remember, though, that you must use it everywhere—even with your mother—for it to become your legal name.
    Getting friends and fellow workers to call you Leach instead of Lola may be harder than any paperwork involved, but you’ll probably meet official resistance, too. Be sure that no law prevents you from using the name you have chosen, unless you use it for the purpose of cheating. If the gas company tells you that you cannot get your bill under a new name, they are wrong. You don’t have to show them any sort of court document. You have a right to be called by whatever name you choose.
    By this time, you’ve probably realized that changing your name is more difficult than replacing your furniture or changing your hair color, though the effect can be unusually encouraging. Don’t care too much if you have to keep reminding others of your change of a new name—keep on, and your friends and lover will accept your new name. Good luck!
    51.   You may wish to change your name because _____.
    you are required to do so
    you don’t mean to have your name last a lifetime
    you like to follow what film stars often do
    you may not like your parents’ choice
    52.   If you wish to start using the name of your own choice, you _____.
    must get friends to call your new name
    don’t have to get permission from anybody
    must use it with your mother first
    need to be approved by the court
    53.   No law keeps you from using whatever name you have chosen, if only ____.
    you pick up a new name not for the purpose of wrong-doing
    you can get your fellow workers to call you the new name
    the gas company agrees to get your bill under your new name
    some sort of court document is given to you
    54.   You may realize that changing your name ____.
    usually has good effect
    is actually asking for trouble
    is not as easy as rearranging your room
    means you have to go through some trouble
    55.   The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to _____.
    show you the need of changing your name
    encourage you if you want to change your name
    tell you how easy it is to change one’s name
    list all the difficulties in changing one’s name

    阅读下列三篇短文，从每题所给的四个选现（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    American like to visit the national parks. In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas run by the National Park Service. Experts predict that by 2010, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds.
    The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To cope with this problem, national parks may require reservations months in advance for some spots. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees at these places.
    Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, officials may decrease the number of cars allowed in parks. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also limit the use of jet-skis, snowmobiles (摩托雪橇), motorboats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.
    The parks are also threatened by development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many motels (汽车旅馆), golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments affect areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.
    1. By 2010, the number of visitors will rise by ______ per year.
    A. 250 million              B. 500 million              C. 2.5 billion         D. 5 billion
    2. If you want to visit the national parks, you may have to _____ in the future.
    A. pay less than before                         B. stay there for months
    C. book the ticket before months           D. fill in a form to apply for the ticket
    3. Entrance fees may be increased _______.
    A. just for the benefit of the National Park Service
    B. either to limit the number of visitors or to pay for the cleaner
    C. not only to protect the animals but to reduce the noise pollution
    D. merely for the development of the national parks
    4. What does the underlined sentence in the passage mean?
    A. People are not supposed to visit the national parks for fear that they will harm the animals.
    B. Only if more man-made tourist attractions are built will more people visit the parks.
    C. It is reasonable to keep the balance between the development of the parks and the reserve.
    D. People will not visit the national parks since there are no golf courses and resorts.
    5. What can be inferred from the passage?
    A. High fees may probably keep some people out of parks.
    B. Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer.
    C. The bus will become the only toot in parks with the purpose of pollution reduction.
    D. The National Park Service welcomes as many visitors as possible.

    Some people think that all wild animals are dangerous. Actually, very few of them will attack a man if he leaves them alone. If you met a lion or an elephant, suppose, you would run away, but even a lion will keep away from a man unless it is very hungry. Lions and tigers only kill and eat men when they have grown too old and too weak to catch their usual food, such as deer and other small animals. If you saw a wild elephant, perhaps you would be frightened. Elephants usually run away at once unless you attack them. Some animals get very frightened if they only smell a man; some take no notice at all but quietly walk in another direction. Wild animals only attack hunters when they are afraid that the hunters mean to harm their young ones, or then the hunters shoot at them and make them angry.
    60. The word attack is closest in meaning to ________.
    A. hurt         B. catch             C. hit             D. follow
    61. Lions and tigers will not kill or eat men ________.
    A. unless men try to run away                 B. if they are too old and too weak
    C. if they are able to get enough of their usual food  D. however men act towards them
    62. Some animals run away when they smell a man probably because _________.
    A. they dislike the smell               B. they think men are dangerous to them
    C. they don't want to eat men           D. they want to eat weak men
    63. This passage is mainly about _________.
    A. how to protect wild animals              B. how animals look for their food
