第三节 阅读理解(共15小题, 每小题2分,共30分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A. B. C. D.四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

A

The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. There are some traditions that you can find almost anywhere, anytime, such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the ‘Happy Birthday’ song. Others are only found for certain ages and in certain countries.

In China, on a child’s second birthday, family members put many things on the floor around the child. According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what profession the child will choose later in life.

For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important. At this age, there is a special celebration Shichi-Go-San (seven, five, three in Japanese) when children go to the temple wearing a new kimono (和服). The priest (僧侣) gives them special sweets, and the parents usually organize a party for their friends in their home.

In Argentina, Mexico and several other Latin American countries, girls have a special birthday celebration when they reach the age of fifteen. After a special ceremony (仪式), the girls dance a waltz with their father and other boys.

Eighteen is the traditional ‘coming of age’— the age when (in many countries) you have the right to vote (选举), join the army and (in Britain) drink alcohol or buy a house.

In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top, or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key. The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!

Where in the world can you take an hour’s train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene

from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? There’s only one place, and that’s Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets(布景) in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies(公司) in the USA.

A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isn’t quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.

The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.

Though it is soap opera that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don’t need Hollywood any more. Modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.

But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.

44. From the passage, we know Universal Studios is ___________. A. a very large park B. a busy London street C. a famous movie company D. an old Hollywood movie 45. Which of the following seems to be a threat(威胁)to Hollywood?

A. The use of modern cameras and other equipment B. The interest of middle-aged film stars C. The making of TV series like Dynasty D. The expensively made copies of scenes

46. What can we learn about “soap operas” from the passage?

A. They are teenagers’ favorites. B. They are much more expensive.

4 / 7

C. They are less interesting. D. They are cheaper and easier to make. 47. The passage mainly tells us ______________. A. something about the film industry in the USA B.the importance of soap operas in Hollywood C. the good old days of Hollywood D. the film business in California C

There was a story many years ago of a school teacher--- Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.

Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was sorry of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume(香水)。

Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.

Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy’s mind seemed to come alive. The more she encourage him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the best children in the class.

Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed(签名), Theodore F. Stoddard, M. D.(医学博士).

The story doesn’t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”

Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.” 48. What did Mrs. Thompson do on the first day of school? A. She made Teddy feel sorry.

B. She asked the children to play with Teddy. C. She changed Teddy’s seat to the front row.

D. She told the class something untrue about herself. 49. What did Mrs. Thompson find out about Teddy? A. He often told lies. B. He was good at math.

C. He needed motherly care. D. He enjoyed playing with others.

50. In what way did Mrs. Thompson change? A. She taught fewer school subjects. B. She became stricter with her students. C. She no longer liked her job as a teacher. D. She cared more about educating students.

51. Why did Teddy thank Mrs. Thompson at his wedding?

A. She had kept in touch with him. B. She had given him encouragement. C. She had sent him Christmas presents. D. She had taught him how to judge people.

When people want to know about the weather, they usually go to their radios, TVs, newspapers, or to the Internet. However, you can also find many weather signs (征兆) among wildlife, because of their highly developed senses. Drops in air pressure produce an effect (影响) on small animals in many ways. Mice and deer are good weather indicators. People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed (观察) that, before a storm, field mice come out of their holes and run around. Deer leave high ground and come down from the mountains.

Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways. For example, some birds become irritable (急躁的) and quarrelsome and will fight over a piece of bread. Other birds chirp (叽叽喳喳) and sing just before a storm. It seems they know they won’t get another chance for an hour or two. Birds also seek safe places before a storm. You will sometimes see birds settling in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building. Pre-storm low pressure makes the air so thin that birds have difficulty flying.

It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime, rather than during the periods in the spring or autumn. Watch for other weather signs if you see this. If they fly in the wrong direction, they may be flying ahead of a storm.

By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature, we can become better prepared for any kind of weather.

52. The word “indicators” in paragraph 1 probably means _______. A. maps B. services C. signs D. stations 53. There will be a storm if birds _______.

A. make more noise than usual B. fly in different directions C. come down from tall trees D. share a piece of bread 44. How can birds sense the coming of a storm? A. By feeling a drop in air temperature.

B.By noticing the change of wind directions. C.By feeling a drop in air pressure.

D.By noticing the movements of other animals. 55. The best title for the text would be ________. A. Signs of a Storm B. Drops in Air Pressure

C. Animals’ Sharp Senses. D. Nature’s Weather Signs
