三、阅读理解阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。（本大题共26分，每小题2分）

A

History, as we know, is filled with facts, with places, names, dates, and events. History is also filled with feelings, with pain, joy, excitement, and fear.

Facts are set down in books, but what happens to feelings? How can you take the pain, for example, and write it into a history book? You can’t. But you can put it to music. Take the blues, for example.

The blues started when black musicians in the South began to sing about their hard times, those times which made them feel blue. The early blues was the beginning of other musical

styles, from jazz to rock and roll.

Music, you might say, is a record of feelings.

Of course, facts are important: the civil rights movement, the race for space, the Vietnam War. But the feelings behind these events – the pride of being black, the excitement of

a rocket blast (点火起飞), the pain of a war – are also an important part of history.

25. In the passage, the word “blue” and the word “blues” are related to ____________.

A. a feeling and a kind of music

B. a colour

C. a kind of music and a person

D. people and their feelings

26. According to the writer’s idea, what can make people feel blue?.

A. A history book

B. Music.

C. History.

D. Hard times.

27. Besides the above, the writer also explains ____________.

A. what caused the Vietnam War

B. the feelings behind some important events

C. the relation between history and music

D. why he wrote the article

B

When people become good at doing things they like to do, they have found themselves. Many young people are doing things they do not like; many other young people are doing something that they are not good at. Also many do not think they are good at anything and do not know what they would like to do. None of them are happy.

It is impossible to decide whether one likes something until he has tried it. Trying something new is important.

Give each idea a fair chance. If you have decided to try out something new and also have decided how long you will stick to it, you can make a fair decision.

The most important thing is not the final goal but the work which makes you reach the goal. Almost everybody would like to be highly skilled at something but it calls for a great deal of time and work.

Finding oneself means not only discovering what one is good at and what one likes; it also means discovering what one is not good at and what one does not like.

So trying something but failing also has its good side. It tells you that you are not fit for that particular aim and should not regard it as your goal.

27. According to the passage, many young people are unhappy because ______.

A. they are doing things they don’t like

B. they are doing something they are not good at

C. they think they’re good at nothing and do not know what they would like to do

D. of all the above

28. It takes ______ to become good at something.

A. time and money

B. a lot of work and rest

C. a lot of time and work

D. men and time

29.To find himself one has to know ______.

A. both his strong points and weak points

B. his strong points

C. his weak points

D. what he likes and what he is good at

C

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt.If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending （延伸）deeply into both families.

There is another difficult point for us to understand .Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off from our work to act as guides to our friends: It is opposite in America, Americans can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes ,the welcome will be full, warm and real.

For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality（好客）at home and enjoy your visit in America!

30.The underlined phrase “pick up” in Paragraph 1 may mean “_______”.

A. keep out

B. give up

C. pay no attention to

D. continue

31.Which of the following is the typical way of American hospitality?

A. Treating friends at home.

B. Taking days off to be with friends.

C. Meeting friends at the airport at midnight.

D. Sharing everything they have.

32.Which of the following statements in True according to the passage?

A. Americans are always generous with their time.

B. Americans don’t feel hurt if their friendships disappear soon.

C. Chinese friendships develop more slowly but will never disappear.

D. Chinese friendships are more sincere than American friendships.

33.This passage is most probably written for .

A. American students

B. Chinese students

C. Chinese visitors to America

D. American visitors to China

D

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four

kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.

People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

34. Why was the bike so important to the couple? Because .

A. They used it for work and daily life

B. It was their only possession

C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed

D. The man's job was bike racing

35. We can infer from the text that .

A. the couple worked 60 hours a week

B. people were busy before Christmas

C. the stranger brought over the bike

D. life was hard for the young family

36. The couple learn from their experience.

A. Strangers are usually of little help

B. One should take care of their bike

C. An act of kindness can mean a lot

D. News reports make people famous

We all need a healthy environment, but we p 1 waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the s 2 everyday activities can make a real d 3 to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.

Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.

Reduce means “don't waste things” .This s 4 money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really n 5 or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from a 6 .

Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we bu y things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should r 7 them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box b 8 you can use them again.

Recycle means “change things into something else”. A 9 it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or b 10 them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
