    18．When I was about twelve，I headed to a restaurant for dinner with my family．It was winter，and on that particular night，the wind was really blowing．As my mom and I headed towards the restaurant from our car，a girl about my age and her mother came up to us．They asked if we had any spare change．My mom immediately asked where they kept their things．They pointed to an old car in a parking across the street．The girl said there were six of them living in that car，which was the same size as my own family．
    My mom said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars．She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings（兄弟姐妹）．But she didn't come．
    Later，I found out she had gone home and practically emptied our cupboards into a few bags．Then，she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family．I wasn't there when that part happened，but I can only imagine the joy it brought to their faces．
    A few days later，when I actually found out about what she had done，I asked her why she helped those people．She told me that they were not lucky．I remember the face of that girl who had asked us for change； she was the same age as me，yet we looked so different．
    Here I stood，dressed in almost new clothes，headed to dine in a restaurant and then back home to the bedroom I shared with my younger sister．I remember thinking that the girl didn't have any food to eat and that she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people．After painting this picture in my mind，I understood why my mom had done what she did．I will never forget what she did that night，and how she taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned．
    33．Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph？A
    A．The girl's family lived a hard life．
    B．The author was happy to go to a restaurant．
    C．The girl's family lived in an old house．
    D．There were more members in the author's family than in the girl's．
    34．How did the author feel when she knew what her mother had done？A
    A．She should value what she had．
    B．Her mother shouldn't help the strangers．
    C．She must work hard to reward her mother．
    D．She was unlucky to have such living conditions．
    35．What is the best title of the passage？D
    A．How to support the poor family          
    B．A friend in need is a friend in deed
    C．The hard life of a little girl's family       
    D．A lesson in kindness from my mum．

    分析 妈妈在遇到需要帮助的人时，热心帮助，她的行为告诉我要善待他人，做一个有爱心乐于助人的人．

    解答 33．A 推理判断题．根据第一段They asked if we had any spare change．"女孩和她的妈妈向作者的妈妈讨要零钱"以及The girl said there were six of them living in that car"她们住在一辆旧汽车里"，可以推断出她们的生活很困难．D项是该段最后一句直接给出的信息，非推断所得，故选A．
    34．A 推理判断题．根据文章第四、五段的内容可知，I remember thinking that the girl didn't have any food to eat and that she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people．作者把自己的幸福生活和可怜的小女孩作了比较．由此推断，她的感受应该是珍惜自己拥有的一切．故答案选A．
    35．D  主旨大意题．文章最后一句是对全文的概括和总结，选项中只有D项符合句意：妈妈教我善良．故选D．

    点评 阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．

    9．Andrew Carnegie，known as the King of Steel，built the steel industry in the United States，and in the process，became one of the wealthiest men in America．His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline，when most of his competitors were reducing their investments．
    Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work，but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society．He opposed charity，preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves．"He who dies rich，dies disgraced"，he often said．
    Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name，including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh，which has a library，a museum of fine arts，and a museum of national history．He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University．Other philanthropic（慈善的） gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations，the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research，and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts．
    Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie's generosity．His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2，500libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus（核心） of the public library system that we all enjoy today．

    21．The author quoted"He who dies rich，dies disgraced"in the passage to showA．

    D．The wealthy die from not contributing to society
    22．Carnegie's success includes the following aspects EXCEPTD．
    A．his policy of expanding                B．his hard work
    C．his ability to sell the product        D．his ability to produce the product．
    23．Which of the following may NOT be philanthropic gifts to society according to the passage？C

    6．Mountain biking is a great way to explore the outdoors，stay in shape，or just have fun．（36）C  Even though it's dangerous，if you ride with caution，it can be enjoyed by the entire family．
    Mountain biking can best be characterized into three different styles---downhill，free riding，and cross country．Even though the different styles are similar in some ways，they still require different skills．（37）D
    You can find groups that have mountain bike rides and competitions．You can look on the Internet or even in a local paper and see exactly what's available in your area．（38）E  Like all other sports，it takes time and practice．Those just beginning will have to get past the bumps and bruises from falling off the bike．
    The bike you select is more of a personal choice，and a big determining factor on the type of riding you will be doing．Bikes come in all styles，shapes，and prices，which will make selecting one for yourself very difficult indeed．（39）G  A great mountain biker will become one with his or her own bike．When buying，make sure you check for comfort，how it fits，even how it is geared．
    （40）F  Anytime you are riding，you should wear a helmet，along with knee and elbow pads．If you are following a group or riding in the woods you should strongly consider a pair of goggles as well．Safety should be your top priority and never taken lightly anytime you are mountain biking．

    A．To buy a bike for mountain biking，you should mainly consider how much the bike costs you．
    B．It takes practice to succeed for a great mountain biker．
    C．Racing down the side of a mountain is a lot of fun indeed，although it can also be quite dangerous．
    D．The style that you pick will determine the type of bike you get．
    E．You may be able to find groups for the more advanced riders as well as beginners．
    F．Mountain bike riding on unpaved roads can be very dangerous，as mentioned earlier．
    G．Before you buy a bike，always ask to try it out first．

    3．Nuclear power's danger to health，safety，and even life itself can be summed up in one word：radiation．
    Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it，partly because it cannot be detected by human senses．It can't be seen or heard，or touched or tasted，even though it may be all around us．There are other things like that．For example，radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them，sense them，without a radio receiver．Similarly，we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector．But unlike common radio waves，nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things．
    At very high levels，radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs．But even the lowest levels can do serious damage．There is no levels of radiation that is completely safe．If the radiation does not hit anything important，the damage may not be serious．This is the case when only a few cells are hit，and if they are killed immediately．Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones．But if the few cells are only damaged，and if they reproduce themselves，you may be in trouble．They reproduce themselves in a deformed way．They can grow into cancer．Sometimes this does not show up for many years．
    This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation．Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred．A person can be irradiated（辐射）and feel fine，then die for cancer five，ten，or twenty years later as a result．Or a child can be born weak as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents．Radiation can hurt us．We must know the truth．
    32．How can nuclear radiation kill an animal？D
    A．By damaging its heart．
    B．By killing a few cells．
    C．By hitting any place in its body．
    D．By killing many cells in important organs．
    33．The word"deformed"in paragraph 3has the similar meaning toA．
    A．unnatural      B．normal      C．usual      D．proper
    34．What can we infer from the passage？D
    A．We can't detect radioactivity even with modern equipment．
    B．Only radiation at very high levels can kill an animal or human being．
    C．If a few cells are only damaged，healthy cells will take the place of dead ones．
    D．Radiation is harmful no matter what level it is．
    35．What's the author's main purpose in writing this passage？C
    A．Discussing the cause of cancer．
    B．Solving the mystery about radiation．
    C．Emphasizing the importance of protection of radiation．
    D．Introducing the nuclear power．

    10．Children have their own rules in playing games．They seldom need a referee（裁判） and rarely trouble to keep scores．They don't care much about who wins or loses，and it doesn't seem to worry them if the game is not finished．Yet，they like games that depend a lot on luck，so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared．They also enjoy games that move in stages，in which each stage，the choosing of leaders，the picking-up of sides，or the determining of which side shall start，is almost a game in itself．
    Grown-ups can hardly find children's games exciting，and they often feel puzzled（迷惑的）at why their kids play such simple games again and again．However，it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons．He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person，and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid．He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn．He can be confident，too，in particular games，that it is his place to give orders，to pretend to be dead，to throw a ball actually at someone，or to kiss someone he has caught．
    It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control．Everyone knows the rules，and more importantly，everyone plays according to the rules．Those rules may be childish，but they make sure that every child has a chance to win．

    32．What is true about children when they play games？A
    A．They can stop playing any time they like．
    B．They can test their personal abilities．
    C．They want to pick a better team．
    D．They don't need rules．
    33．To become a leader in a game the child has toB．
    A．play well
    B．wait for his turn
    C．be confident in himself
    D．be popular among his playmates
    34．Why does a child like playing games？A
    A．Because he can be someone other than himself．
    B．Because he can become popular among friends．
    C．Because he finds he is always lucky in games．
    D．Because he likes the place where he plays a game．
    35．The writer believes thatC．
    A．children should make better rules for their games．
    B．children should invite grown-ups to play with them．
    C．children's games can do them a lot of good．
    D．children play games without reasons．

    8．The interview had been going on for about 20minutes and everything seems to be going well．Then，suddenly，the interviewer asks an unexpected question，"Which is more important，law or Dove？"
    Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this．And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China．
    Employers want people skilled，enthusiastic and devoted．So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are．In response，employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant's true personality．
    The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Keirsey Personality Sorter．It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems，rather than what they know．This is often called an aptitude test （能力倾向测验）．
    According to Mark Baldwin，many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult．When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test，he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see．
    This is sometimes called the prisoner's dilemma．Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest．But they fail because they don't understand what the interviewer is looking for．Remember that in an aptitude test，the correct answer is always the honest answer．
    28．The writer wrote the passage toA．
    A．give you a piece of advice on a job interview
    B．tell you how to meet a job interviewer
    C．describe the aptitude test    
    D．advise you how to find a job
    29．Why do the interviewers ask such questions？C
    A．They want to discover what the interviewees know．
    B．They are curious about the answers．
    C．They try to discover the ability of the interviewees solving problems．
    D．They just ask questions without thinking much．
    30．According to the writer，in an aptitude test，Chinese job applicants shouldB．
    A．not tell the truth        
    B．learn to tell what they really think
    C．be more enthusiastic
    D．try to find out what the examiner really want to know
    31．From the passage we know thatD．
    A．job applicants are always asked such questions
    B．more Chinese applicants fail to find a job
    C．applicants should not act as reasonably as a prisoner
    D．the aptitude test is becoming popular worldwide．
