Text 10

Good morning，ladies and gentlmen，and welcome to our tour. Now we're on the way to some points of historical interest in the city. If you look out of the window on your right，you'll see the Grange，one of the oldest buildings in the city.

It was built 200 years ago，and still has most of the old furniture. Perhaps the most interesting thing is that every Saturday afternoon，you can come and watch them

bake bread the way it was done 200 years ago. On our left is a university building.

This university building is just 125 years old. We will be stopping in a quarter at Bridgeton Castle. It was built by Sir Henry Pellet for his young wife. He bought almost all of the building materials from England. Look at the beautiful glass windows. Unfortunately，Sir Henry's young wife became ill and died before the castle was completed. Sir Henry became so unhappy that he left the castle and returned to England. No family members ever lived there.

第三部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

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。

A

After graduation I returned home to my small town in Indiana. I didn't have a job yet. Mr. Hobbs，a friend of my father's，owned a small shirt factory in town. Within the past five years，it had grown from twenty to eighty workers. Mr. Hobbs was worried that his plant was getting too big and inefficient，so he asked me to come in on a short-term basis as a consultant.

I went to the plant and spent about a week looking around and making notes. I was really amazed at what I saw.

Most curious of all，there was no quality control at all. No one inspected the final product of the factory. As a result，some of the shirts that were put in boxes for shipment were missing one or two buttons，the collar，and even a sleeve sometimes!

The working conditions were poor. The tables where the workers sat were very high and uncomfortable. Except for a half hour at lunchtime，there were no breaks in the day to relieve the boring work. There was no music. The walls of the workrooms were a dull gray color. I was amazed that the workers hadn't gone on strike.

Furthermore，the work flow was irregular. There was one especially absent-minded young man in the assembly(组装)line who sewed on buttons. After a while I recognized him as“Big Jim”，who used to sit behind me in math class in high school. He was very slow and all the shifts were held up at his position. Workers beyond him in line on his shift had to wait with nothing to do；therefore a great deal of time and efficiency were lost as Big Jim daydreamed while he worked. All week I wondered why he wasn't fired.

After I made observations for a week，Mr. Hobbs asked me for an oral report of my findings.

56．The shirts from Mr. Hobbs' factory can be described as ________.

A．of low quality B．of high quality

C．fashionable D．unfashionable

答案A[细节理解题。根据文章第三段说由于成品无人检查，结果使有些装在箱子里要运送的衬衫缺纽扣、领子、甚至缺袖子。由此可知，Mr. Hobbs 的工厂生产的衬衫质量很差。]

57．Why did Mr. Hobbs ask the writer to the factory?

A．The factory was much too big.

B．The factory was not big enough.

C．The writer was a college graduate.

D．The factory was of low efficiency though getting big.

答案D[细节理解题。由第一段的最后一句可知，作者被请到工厂去的原因是虽然工厂工人多了，但工厂的效率低。]

58．Big Jim may get fired mainly because ________.

A．he was slow

B．he wasted much time

C．he was absent-minded

D．the work flow was irregular

答案C[推理判断题。虽然四个选项在第五段都被提到过，但A、B、D三项都是因为C项所引起的。故C项是Big Jim可能会被解雇的主要原因。] 59．What was the most strangest about Mr. Hobbs' factory?

A．It had grown from twenty to eighty workers.

B．There was not any quality control.

C．The working conditions were poor.

D．The work flow was irregular.

答案B[细节理解题。根据文章第三段中第一句话可知答案。]

B

I've always felt a bit sad for “weekend fathers，”men who don't have custody(照管)of their children and so must maintain a bond through visits on the weekend. Because they don't have the opportunity for a lot of quality time，they sometimes go in for quantity—giving a lot of gifts and taking the children on non-stop outings.

But now I can relate. I'm a weekend mom.

My child，Henry，is a dog.

Henry just returned to his father，Jack，after an extended stay with me. For ten days，I fed him the best of food，canceled plans in order to stay home with him，took him to places I knew he'd love，let him sit on the couch with me and let him sleep on the bed while I was at work，previously a prohibition(禁止)of major proportion.

Since Jack and I split_up about a year ago，neither of us wanted to part with Henry，a 4-year-old yellow Labrador retriever. At the same time，neither of us found it

easy to keep him on our own. So we share him. Not surprisingly，Henry is a willing participant in our contest for his affections.

Jack doesn't let Henry sleep on his bed，so that's an area where I can always gain big points. I feed him higher-quality dog food，though Jack would dispute that. I keep on hand three kinds of treats，which I store in his special Snausages decanter(香肠玻璃瓶)．You raise the lid and it barks out，“Snausages，Snausages，Snausages，”at which Henry and my cat come skidding into the kitchen.

Now，that's the way to give a pet a treat.

Furthermore，I am always replacing Henry's expensive “thingy”，a big cotton knot he tosses about and chews on. It's his favorite toy，and the only one he has is at my house. Score another one for me.

In August，Henry accompanied me to Maine，where he had the best time of his life.

I couldn't wait to call Jack with the news.

“You should have seen Henry，”I gloated. “He ran free for an entire weekend，swam in the lake all day and was petted and loved by six other people. Plus，he still got to sleep with me every night. ”

Jack retorted，“Well，I just took him camping. And there were lots of people around to pay attention to him. ”

What a feeble attempt to one-up(占优势)me，I thought. Camping in a big campground with a lot of people，where that poor canine wasn't allowed to run free. Doesn't sound like much fun to me.

So far，Henry doesn't have a stepmother，but Jack does have a girlfriend，which means she's probably laying the groundwork to take over. At first she was afraid of dogs，which secretly delighted me. But that darn Henry，just trying to be polite，won her over.

If truth be told，as time passes，there has been a slight change in Henry's behavior toward me. It takes him about an hour to get comfortable at my house，and he and my cat，previously best buddies，now need a few days to warm up to each other.

The worst was one day when Jack dropped him off for a two-week stay last summer. Henry and I were in the backyard playing as Jack was driving off. When he heard Jack's truck，he bolted and actually ran for two blocks until Jack had to stop and

bring him back.

That hurt，especially since I had friends over at the time. Jack acted like it was nothing，but I know that inside he was feeling just a little victorious.

In a rare conciliatory(安抚的)mood，Jack said to me，“You know，I'm his best buddy，but you'll always be his mom. ”

Whatever it takes，I plan to make sure it stays that way.

【解题导语】本文是一篇文学欣赏类记叙文，作者通过自己的经历告诉读者，她与一条叫做Henry的狗之间的亲情故事，着重讲述了她想要努力赢得Henry的关爱。

60．The tone of this article is________.

Have you heard the old expression “One man's trash is another man's treasure”？Elizabeth Gibson believes it，because she is living proof of the old adage(格言)．

A 53-year-old woman was walking down the street on Manhattan's Upper West Side four years ago when something lying in a pile of trash on the street caught her eye. It turned out to be a painting，which she was sure didn't belong there，although she was far from an art critic. Gibson took it home and hung it on a wall. “It was huge and very brightly colored，very abstract，but you could make out three figures and it was just very powerful，” she said.

Her research led her to a website and a shocking discovery：the painting was a 1970 effort—called Three People—by a Mexican artist named Rufino Tamayo，who died in 1991 and，as so often happens in the art world，the value of his work had skyrocketed. It is now estimated to be worth up to $1 million.

Authorities at Sotheby's auction house say that the painting was stolen from their warehouse in 1987！Ten years before，a Houston man purchased it for $55,000 as a gift for his wife. The owners even offered a $15,000 reward，but for years，no one knew what had happened to it，until Gibson walked down that street.

In addition to an unknown percentage of the sale of the painting by its owner，Gibson will also receive the $15,000 reward. Gibson was truly in the right place at the right time. A doorman who saw her pick up the painting recalls that garbage collectors came by the area just 20 minutes after she found it.

64．The author mentions the old saying “One man's trash is another man's treasure”

to________.

A．suggest that readers can also find treasure in trash，just as Gibson did

B．explain his understanding of it and talk about Gibson's story

C．introduce the topic for further discussion later in the passage

D．prove that good luck plays an important role in making one rich

答案C[推理判断题。全文主要围绕Gibson在垃圾堆中捡到一幅价值不菲

的油画这一事件展开的，因此可推知，第一段中作者提起那句谚语的目的在于导入本文的话题。]

65．The underlined word “skyrocketed” in Paragraph 3 probably means________.

A．changed quickly B．existed continuously

C．fell steadily D．rose sharply

答案D[词义推测题。从“It is now estimated to be worth up to $1 million”，可推知作者意思在强调该油画的价值在迅速攀升，故选D项。] 66．According to the passage，we can know________.

A．the painting makes great contributions to our civilization

B．the painting gets more valuable after Rufino passed away

C．how the painting was lost has become clear to the people

D．the painting's discovery will benefit the government very much

答案B[细节理解题。由文章第三段“the painting was a 1970 effort. . . artist named Rufino Tamayo，. . . It is now estimated to be worth up to $1 million. ”可知B项正确。]

67．Compared to the garbage collectors，Gibson was very________.

A．wise B．fortunate C．excited D．learned

答案B[细节理解题。从文章末句可知，垃圾收集工错过了“发财”的机会，而Gibson发现了这幅画，因此可以说她是幸运的。]

D

Rebecca and Deputy Jeff Anderson，the man she was going to marry，were in their car. A drunken driver was driving the wrong way down the road. The drunken driver's car ran into them. Jeff was killed.

Now Rebecca thinks drivers who drink are killers who need to be stopped. This is the reason why she joined MADD—Mothers Against Drunk Driving. MADD tries to change the way we look at drunken drivers. Rebecca Bearden said，“It's not just a car accident. It is a crime，and it is a violent crime. And we have worked very hard and have succeeded in making society realize that is so. ”

Society_has_changed. Today，often one person at a party does not drink. This person is the driver. People think this is a good thing to do.

California freeways are much safer than most highways in the US. This is because the cops and the California Highway Patrol are out there doing what they can to keep the drunks from killing you.

Alcohol-related deaths in California have gone down 61 percent since 1980. The punishment is severe(严厉的)if you are caught driving drunk. In California，an officer can take a driver's license away on the spot if the driver tests drunk.

A research manager for the Department of Motor Vehicles said they looked at the new law that started in 1990. They found about 15 percent less alcohol-related incidents. The chance of being arrested again is cut in half if the driver completes a treatment program.

The work is far from over，however. California still arrests a drunken driver every six minutes. And one in fifty California drivers know someone killed by a drunken driver. There is much yet to do.

68．What's the function of Paragraph 1?

A．To show how horrible a car accident can be.

B．To explain how the accident happened.

C．To introduce the topic of the passage.

D．To tell us how unlucky Rebecca was.

答案C[文章结构题。通读全文，可知主要是讲加州酒后驾车的情况的，作者在第一段提到那场车祸只是为了引出下文，故选C。]

69．From the passage we learn that MADD ________.

A．helps the police find drunken drivers

B．is allowed to punish drunken drivers

C．helps drunken mothers drive home safely

D．tries to tell people about the danger of drunk driving

答案D[细节理解题。根据第二段的MADD tries to change the way we look at drunken drivers. Rebecca Bearden said，“It's not just a car accident. It is a crime，and it is a violent crime. And we have worked very hard and have succeeded in making society realize that is so. ”可知MADD尽量让人们明白酒后驾车的危害。]

70．By the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3，the writer means ________.
