第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每题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。
French people pride themselves on their delicious foods, such as cheese, baguettes and croissants (two kinds of food). In fact, food is an important part of French culture. Families and friends spend hours over the dinner table each night. It is the opposite of the fast – food habit common in other parts of the West.
It’s the reason why the French are very angry that a McDonald’s is opening beneath Paris’s most famous museum: the Louvre (卢浮宫). The mew restaurant will be the 1,142 nd McDonald’s in France, and will open in the underground approach to the museum. But many French people can’t understand why this American chain is opening in the heart of French culture.
However, McDonald’s is paying no notice to the complaint. McDonald’s now has 31,000 chains worldwide. Tourists are hungry, and opening chains in tourist spots pays well.
There is another chain threatening France’s heritage. This time it is coffee rather than burgers. As more and more Starbucks open in Paris, traditional French cafes are forced to close.
The trouble with American companies opening chains throughout the world is the destructive effect they can have on a country’s culture. How can a small, independent coffee shop compete with the multi – billion dollar chain? You can go to a Starbucks in any city in the world, but you can only go to a Parisian café in France.
Responsibility is with the tourists. A McDonald’s wouldn’t open so near the Louvre if it weren’t not going to make money. Similarly, a Pizza Hut wouldn’t overlook (俯瞰) Egypt’s Great Pyramid if no one wants to sit in it. Maybe next time you visit the Great Wall, you should think twice before ordering a Cappuccino in the Starbucks.
51.Why are the French very angry when a McDonald’s is opening beneath the Louvre?
A.Because they will spend many hours in McDonald’s.
B.Because French food culture is very impressive.
C.Because they also have the fast – food habit.
D.Because they are proud of their own food.
52.The McDonald’s will be located in the underground approach to the museum because_______.
A.the complaints of the French are useless
B.opening a chain in tourist spot is rewarding
C.McDonald’s tends to be in the heart of culture
D.it will help to attract more tourists for the museum
53.What is the trouble with American companies opening chains all over the world?
A.The traditional stores of a country are forced to fight back.
B.The traditional stores of a country become dependant.
C.They have negative effect on a country’s culture.
D.The multi – billion dollar chain can’t be matched.
54.The author suggests that the tourists can_______.
A.decide whether the multiple stores of America are successful or not
B.order a Cappuccino in the Starbucks when they visit the Great Wall
C.sit in a Pizza Hut when they visit Egypt’s Great Pyramid
D.enter the McDonald’s when they visit the Louvre

Tom arrived at the bus station quite early for the London bus. The bus for London would not leave until five to twelve. He saw a lot of people waiting in the station.

三、阅读理解(共两节,40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,共30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。
A
Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona he moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. In his new home in Arizona, my dad is back to me from where he was.
56.Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?
A.He was silent most of the time.
B.He was too proud of himself.
C.He did not love his children.
D.He expected too much of her.
57.When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel .
A.nervous B.sorry C.tired D.safe
58.The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to .
A. the author’s son B.the author’s father
C.the friend of the author’s father D.the café owner
