第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满份30分）

A

Today it seems perfectly natural for us to shake hands when we greet someone or say goodbye. But like so many things that we do without thinking such actions at one time probably represented something.

For example, in primitive(原始的) life the hand was used to fight against enemies, kill animals, and make spears and tools. So when the hand was extended to someone, it showed that the person was not armed or ready for fight.

We know that the hand was an important symbol in early religion, probably as a mark of power. The Greeks prayed to their gods with raised hands. Presenting the hands palm to palm was at one time the way an inferior(身份低的) person paid respect to a superior(身份高的) one.

Among the Arabs, it was customary at one time to kiss the hand of a superior. Later on, polite Arabs began to resist the efforts of people to kiss their hands, and sometimes they would end up shaking hands as each tried to prevent the other from showing this mark of “inferiority(下级).”

The early Greeks held out the right hand when they wished to show friendship to a stranger. So we can see that the hand, and what was done with it, was full of meaning to people down through the ages. And while we shake hands without thinking, we are really carrying on a custom that has been handed down to us from ancient times.

61．The second paragraph tells us __________.

A．the handshake didn’t means greeting

B．what hands were used to do in primitive life

C．the handshake showed men’s kindness

D．the handshake showed nothing

62．Human beings first made their living by ___________.

A．hunting B．fishing C．hand D．farming

A．people kissed each other whenever they met

B．men kissed the women whenever they met

C．less important person kissed more important person’s hand

D．more important person kissed less important person’s hand 64．Generally speaking, in different countries __________.

A．people shake hands in the same way

B．handshake has different meanings

C．strangers never have handshake

D．people only use handshake to show friendship

65．The phrase “hand down” in the last sentence means __________.

A．put down B．leave down C．give down D．pass down

For many years Henry had been a journalist. He had worked on many international newspapers and magazines and traveled all over the world.

Henry had witnessed wars and natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and erupting volcanoes(火山爆发). He had reported on serious accidents such as major fires and airline crashes. He had seen every kind of terrible crime and strange event there was. He had met and written about some of the most unusual people in the world.

In fact, there wasn’t much that Henry had n ot seen or done.

Now he was retired from journalism(新闻业). He owned a very expensive restaurant and spent his days talking to his wealthy and important customers. He liked to say that nothing surprised him.

One day he was sitting at the bar in his restaurant when a big gorilla walked in and asked for a table. Henry showed no surprise. He took the gorilla to a table and handed him a menu. He treated him politely and pretended there was nothing at all strange about having a gorilla in his restaurant. The gorilla

looked through the menu and ordered a salad. Henry served the gorilla his salad personally, knowing that his waiters and waitresses would be too frightened. At last the gorilla finished his salad and asked for the bill. Henry wrote out the bill and handed it to the big animal. The gorilla studied it, shook his head sadly, then gave Henry fifty dollars.

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”

That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.

Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, you fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.

All children soo n learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.

There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!

Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There yo u can feel everything on show.

If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see! 71．By touching things ___________.

A．you will have a strange feeling

B．you will learn how to reach out your hand

C．you can learn more about them

D．you can tell what colors they really are

C．To See Better－Feel D．Ways of Feeling

73．Which of the following parts can tell you the difference between two coins in your pocket?

A．Your fingers. B．Your eyes. C．Your skin. D．Your back.

75．Which of the following is NOT true?
