第一节(共15小题，每小题2分，满分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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

（A）

Well-written reviews of books, music, movies, and other products can arouse people’s interest. When writing a review,

concentrate on exactly what you like or don’t like. Give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. Find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topic, but be sure to express your own voice in your review.

Grammar Hint for Reviews: When describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense.

Books Reviews

Discuss an author’s technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. Does the story flow? Is there a strong sense of character and places? Did you stay up until dawn to finish it? Is it good for teenagers to read? What influence did it have on you and why? If you’ve read other books by the same author, discuss how this book pares.

Movie Reviews

Think of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. Do these work together? Did some hold up while others didn’t? If the movies is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, pare the movie to its original.

Remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers ma y not have seen a

movie yet, so don’t give away an exciting scene or the ending! College Reviews

Begin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your colle ge visit. What academic, athletic and after-class programs are available? What are the students like? What makes the college different from others? Every school has strengths and weaknesses. Be objective. Consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending it.

The old shopkeeper led me through to the back of the shop. The room was filled with boxes and dusty photographs of people holding packages in their hands.

Mr. Hopkins said, “We have a very wide choice of items for sale. Whenever I serve a new customer, I take his picture.”Mr. Hopkins pointed to an ancient camera on a table.

I began to appreciate the lovely items on sale. I spent a very pleasant hour being shown the modities in the shop. Finally, I bought an antique jewelry box, a pair of riding boots and a sewing machine.

I was very excited that I had found such a good little shop. “I will tell all my friends about your lovely place.” I told the shopkeeper. “Please don’t do that, sir,”said Mr. Hopkins. “This is a special place for special people. You must keep this shop a secret.”Then he took my photograph and handed me the picture straight away.

“That was quick!” I exclaimed. In the picture I looked proud and excited holding the presents I had bought there.

On Christmas Day, my friends and relatives were delighted with the presents I had bought for them. For weeks, my brother begged me to take him to the wonderful little shop. I finally agreed.

We walked along Oxford Street, passed the department store and found nothing. In its place was an empty space being used

as a car park. I checked the area again. There was the music shop, and there was the department store. In between should have been Hopkins and Son, but it wasn’t there.

Just then, an old policeman came. “Are you looking for something, sir?” he asked. “I am looking for a little shop called Hopkins and Son.”

“Oh yes, there was a shop here once called Hopkins and Son. But it was knocked down over 30 years ago.”

I looked again at the place, and then I reached into my pocket and took out the photograph that Mr. Hopkins had taken of me holding my presents in the little shop.

“How strange!” I screamed.

24. What did the author think of Hopkins and Son?

A. Big and modern.

B. Old and outdated.

C. Little and dusty.

D. Lovely and wonderful.

25. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that Mr. Hopkins

.

A. was ashamed of his little shop

B. didn’t like his shop to be advertised

C. was one of the author’s special friends

D. handed the author his picture immediately

26. What does the underlined word “modities” refer to?

A. The goods in the shop.

B. The author’s gifts.

C. Photographs taken by Mr. Hopkins.

D. Packages held by other customers.

27. What can we learn about the shop?

A. It was closed by the police.

B. It was well-known in that area.

C. It was knocked down a few weeks ago.

D. It was between a music shop and a department store.

(C)

When people introduce themselves, I always hear them say “I’m just a housewife”. I don’t understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self-pity. Is it really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home?

How could you be “just a housewife”when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service? A housewife works for the longest hour, supporting your husband, child’s studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking accordi ng to individual taste, cleaning, etc. A housewife could be anyone: daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial advisor, fashion designer and nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on. Don’t think you are not being paid for it. You get the reward that no mon ey can offer —the love and affection of your family, their trust in you,

a happy home and your own satisfaction.

It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the fortable home set by you. They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them. Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life t hat you are enjoying now with that money?

Respect yourself for what you are. Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. The world understands the importance of your job; it’s time to make them accept it. Introduce yourself with pride and with t winkle in your eyes “I am a housewife”. Kick that “just” out.

28. How do people feel when they say “I’m just a housewife”?

A. Satisfied.

B. Proud.

C. Regretful.

D. Anxious.

29. Listing the housewife’s duties, the author implies a housewife .

A. usually leads a terrible life

B. plays a more important role

C. does not always get her reward

D. makes a great contribution to the family

30. If a housewife worked outside, she would .

A. have the same life like before

B. set a fortable home for her family

C. absorb her family’s stress

D. lose the content that she is enjoying

31. What is the author’s attitude toward housewives?

A. Supportive.

B. Doubtful.

C. Opposed.

D. Tolerant.

(D)

Why do many of us find plete pleasure in eating r aw sea creatures but aren’t so inclined to chow down on uncooked birds, cows or pigs?

“A big part of it is gravity—or the effective lack of it in the ocean,” says biophysicist Ole Mouritsen. “Fish are so soft. You can stick your finger through their muscle s. Try doing that with a chicken or cow. Fish muscle is very different from that in land animals. Why? Because fish can afford to be lazier than land animals. Fish essentially float all the time. Fish don’t have to support their body weight, so their muscl e fibers are shorter and less tough than those in land animals.”The same goes for the connective tissue holding the muscle fibers together: It’s delicate and weak.

By contrast, “Land animals—like ourselves—are always working to keep themselves upright and keep their shape,”Mouritsen says, “so our muscle fibers are thicker, tougher

and firmer.”

In general, the more a muscle works, the tougher it gets. This idea explains why the belly of the tuna is very soft: The belly of the fish is the laziest muscle of them all. In contrast, those muscles that are more active in a tuna; the ones in its fins and tails, are a bit more chewier than other muscles.

The muscle properties of fish also explain the rainbow of colors you see. “Fish that are constantly on the move—like a tuna—have muscles that are always working and burning carbohydrates aerobically,” Mouritsen says. The muscles need oxygen to make energy. And the molecule that carries oxygen to muscle contains iron. Guess what color iron is in the fish? Red. In contrast, fish that mostly hang out in one place or on the bottom of the ocean have muscles that don’t rely on oxygen to create energy. No oxygen means no iron to carry it, which means the muscles tend to be white.

So what about the salmon? They eat shellfish that are enriched with a pigment that’s related to carotene in carrots. This pigment creates the characteristic bluish-gray or green color of raw shrimp and crabs. The molecule turns bright pink or orange when the salmon eats the shellfish or we cook it.

32. According to Mouritsen, fish are soft because.

A. they are too lazy to move all the time

B. they don’t have a heavy body weight

C. they don’t work constantly to fight gravity

D. they have tough connective tissues

33. paring with the muscle in tuna’s belly, that in its tails is .

A. silkier

B. smoother

C. weaker

D.

firmer

34. When we cook the salmon, it bees .

A. green

B. pink or orange

C. bluish-gray

D. red and white

35. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A. Why fish bee a little colorful

B. Why gravity affects fish’s muscle

C. Why we get hooked on raw fish

D. Why some fish have special colors

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation.
