Reading (50 points)Section One Reading Comprehension ( 40 points )阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AIt 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 a week 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（人性）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.( ) 41.Why was the bike so important to the couple?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 mans job was bike racing.( ) 42.What does the underlined phrase mean?A. go very far to see someoneB. walk out on foot to greet someoneC. help someoneD. enjoy the moment with someone( ) 43. How did people get to know the couples problem?A. From a stranger.B. From a newspaper.C. From TV news.D. From radio broadcasts.( ) 44. What do the couple learn from their experience?A. Strangers are usually of little help.B. One should take care of their bike.C. News reports make people famous.D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.( ) 45. What is the best title of the passage?A. Terrible SufferingB. Lasting SmileC. Ask strangers for helpD. Spreading Effect of Acts of KindnessBMost people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the worlds population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a persons hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesnt happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they dont have to.( ) 46. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found _.A. the art began from 1,500 B.C. B. the works of art ended in the 1950sC. most people shown in the works of art are right-handedD. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed( ) 47. How many people in the world are left-handed now?A. Less than one sixth. B. More than a half.C. About 40%. D. The passage doesnt tell us.( ) 48. What is the hand for most people used to do?A. Its used to find or hold things.B. Its used to work with things.C. Its used to make a persons eyes work together.D. Its the centre for thinking and doing problems.( ) 49. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.( ) 50. The best title for this passage is _.A. Scientists New InventionsB. Left-handed PeopleC. Which Hand D. Different Brains, Different HandsCSome time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldnt even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourthso I decided that my approach must be wrong. I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?”“Twenty pounds,”I said. “OK,”he said. “Ill give you twenty pounds.”“Its got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, its nothing.”Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.”“Ill buy it,” I said. “What do you mean?” “Youve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but Ive changed my mind. I am sorry. Ill give you twenty seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “Youre right,”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said,Would you mend this chair for me?”“I wouldnt have agreed to do it,”he said. “We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But Ill mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver(五英镑钞票)?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.( ) 51.We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_.A. was rather impolite B. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair( ) 52.The underlined word “approach” in the second paragraph means _.A. plan for dealing with things B. decision to sell thingsC. idea of repairing things D. way of doing things( ) 53. The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper _.A. changed his mind B. accepted the offerC. saw the writers purpose D. decided to help the writer( ) 54. How much did the writer pay?A. 5. B. 7. C. 20. D. 27.( ) 55. From the text, we can learn that the writer was _.A. honest B. careful C. smart D. funny DBamboo is one of the natures most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains.Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables(绳索) that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills(钻) can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered.( ) 56. How is bamboo like grass?A. It is thin and easy to cut. B. It grows everywhere.C. It grows quickly after its cut short. D. It is short and green.( ) 57. The underlined sentence “while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across.” means “Some other bamboo plants may grow to be very _.”A. short B. strong C. thick D. tall( ) 58. From the text we know _.A. most people call bamboo plant treesB. a bamboo plant may grow 4.5 meters in three daysC. the bamboo plant changes its colors when it growsD. a bridge held by bamboo cable was built thousands of years ago( ) 59. Why did the engineers teach the poor farmers in Africa to make use of bamboo?A. Because it is cheap. B. Because it is colorful.C. Because it drills fast.D. Because it is used by Asians.( ) 60. Which of the following is NOT true?A. There are many different kinds of bamboo with different colors.B. Cables made of bamboo can last for over a thousand years.C. Bamboo can be used for buildings, bridges and watering projects.D. Bamboo plants are able to grow well in any part of the world.Section Two Matching (10 points)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按要求匹配信息。Why do you remember Hello Kitty, Snoopy and all the other cartoon characters?

She was a very courageous and inspiring woman and was very beautiful, too. In comparison with her or some of my classmates, I always felt that I was not beautiful or pretty. In fact, when I was studying in middle school, I thought I was not as good as other students and just because of these negative feelings, I was not very confident. One day, I went to the shoe shop to buy a pair of new shoes. When I got there, I noticed a foreign lady talking to a salesgirl. But the salesgirl didnt understand what the foreigner was saying. They both looked worried. I went up to help them. The lady is an Australian. She wanted to buy a pair of travelling shoes. So I told it to the salesgirl. The lady was very glad when she took them. She spoke high praise for my spoken English and said that I was a pretty girl. Both of them expressed their thanks to me.As a matter of fact, no one had ever praised me like that before. It was so encouraging. Suddenly I felt confident and happy. It is true that those words turned my life around.
