Russians第二部分阅读理解（共一大题，满分30分）Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)ACause and effect is one way to explain things that happen around us. Many things happen because something caused or influenced them to happen. Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what caused or influenced them to happen. Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what causes the effect. It may help you to start wit h the effect and use your reasoning skills. Think about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see.For example, you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket. This is the effect. To look for a cause, think to yourself, “What would take someone put on a heavy jacket?” Maybe the person is going outside into very cold weather. Maybe the person works in the penguin pen at Sea World. Maybe the person is going to visit an ice skating rink where the air is kept very cold. All of these things could be a cause for putting on a heavy jacket.Now, think about a second example. The effect is a boy named Abi has to go to the head teacher’s office. What are the possible causes? Maybe he bullied another student. Maybe he is just being picked up early. Maybe he is being given a prize!Here is another example for you to think about its cause and effect. Cait, 13, was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother, Doug, came into her room. He looked around a bit, but seemed really out of it. Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the hall light for quite a while. Little brothers can be very strange, but this was really much too strange. Cait’s father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalking. What’s the cause end effect, could you tell?41. According to the second paragraph, which of the following is an effect?A. Someone puts on a heavy jacket.B. Someone works in the penguin pen.C. Someone will go outside into cold weather.D. Someone will go to visit an ice skating rink.42. Abi has to go to the head teacher’s office. Which of the following isn’t the possible cause?A. He bullied another student.B. He is going shopping.C. His is being picking up early.D. He is being given a prize.43. What was Doug doing when his sister Cait tried to fall asleep?A. He was going outside.B. He was reading a story.C. He was sleepwalking.D. He was looking for his dad.44. Which of the following is cause and effect?A. Tony got up and had a glass of water.B. We came home and found him sleeping.C. The ball was lost and a window was broken.D. Tim was late again and his teacher got angry.45. What is the best title for the text?A. Truth and liesB. Work and sleepC. Cause and effectD. Life and dreamsBPeople often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual; they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private(私人的)space of the individual.People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? Have you marked the space around yourself as yours? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communications, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had invaded his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don't have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long, you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and "outside". Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don't know about. And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you .Haven't you enjoyed being part of a group and "owning" a bit of space?46.The writer was angry as he was traveling on a train to London because______.A. he had no place to sitB. someone had invaded his "space"C. too many people shared a section with himD. some other people talked about things he didn't know about47. "… you feel lonely and 'outside'" in paragraph 4 means that_______.A. you are alone outside the houseB. you feel lonely because you travel on your ownC. you are alone and therefore you go outside to have some funD. you feel lonely and you don't belong to that place or that group of people48.In Paragraph 4 , the pronoun "them' refers to(所指) "___________".A. public spacesB. private spacesC. local peopleD. other countries49.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. British people dislike marking their space.B. You always feel at home in another country.C. Most British people prefer living in houses to flats.D. You can't mark your private space in a foreign country.50.Tha main purpose of the passage is to tell readers to _______.A. own private spaces by living in housesB. have one corner of their own in public placesC. realize the importance of "space" in communicationD. create their private spaces by talking with local peopleCMost people say “yes” much more readily than “no”.A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. But, what you really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”. But, you’ve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.Many people say “yes” to these kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards .Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, in fa ct, according to psychologists.“Everyone wants to be liked,” says Gabriele Steinki, a German psychologist. “Saying ‘no’ risks losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job.” The result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable . Anyone should have the right to say “no”.In fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling. But, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process. Most people believe that “If I say ‘no’, I'll lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to me.” This way of thinking can be replaced by this: “If he only likes me because I always do what suits him, then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.”Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual solution. “One heeds to present the situation from one’s own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealtwith to the advantage of both parties. The other person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.”When the refusal is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message .51. Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no” because ________.A. they don’t care about their own interests and feelingsB. they don’t know they will regre t afterwardsC. they have already been used to saying “yes”D. they care more about others’ affection52. In the opinion of experts, _________ .A. people need a lot of practice to say “no”B. people should say “yes” to keep the peaceC. saying “no” me ans losing a jobD. people have the right to be liked53.According to the writer, what should you do if you want to refuse the other person’s request?A. Just say you can’t help him.B. Say sorry to him.C. Refuse him clearly.D. Talk to the other person to find a mutual way.54.According to the writer, what should you do if your refusal is not accepted?A. Say yes to him.B. Repeat your reason for his acceptanceC. Just go awayD. Say no to him55. What is the best title of the passage?A. You Need Courage To Say “No”B. “Yes” More Than “No”C Anyone Has The Right To Say “No” D.
