第二部分 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
My friend John lived with his parents. They lived in a small town not far from London. Both his parents were over seventy years old.
One day, we drank in a bar with some other friends. It was dark but none wanted to leave. We hadn’t been together for a long time. We talked and laughed. It seemed that all of us forgot the time. But suddenly John got up and went outside. “Where are you going?” I followed him. “I just want to make a call with my parents. It’s late. I want to tell them not to wait for me.” I noticed that he dialed(拨号码) the phone number twice as he called his parents. When he dialed the first time, he hung up after three rings. And then he dialed a second time and began to talk.
“Was the line busy the first time?” I asked ‘‘NO.”
“Then I can’t understand why you dialed the phone twice.”
My friend smiled. He told me, “When I call my parents, they are so eager(渴望的) to talk to me that they run for the phone. Once, in order to answer my phone call, my mother fell down and hit her little toe against the table leg. She couldn’t walk for days. After that, I made an agreement with them: Don’t run to answer the phone. I call first and let the phone ring three times to give them the time to prepare.”
After listening to him, my heart felt full. We often show how we care for our parents with gifts and cards, but aren’t the everyday gifts doing from the little things and telling of our love? 21. The story mainly talks about . A. how to be a patient person B. how to dial a phone number C. how to show everyday love to parents D. how to make good friends with others 22. Why did the writer’s friend call his parents? A. Because he wanted to tell them he loved them. B. Because he didn’t want them to wait for him. C. Because he wanted to live with them. D. Because he missed them.
23. The writer felt when he noticed that his friend dialed the phone number twice. A. surprised B. excited C. moved D. bored 24. The writer’s friend dialed the phone number twice because _______. A. the line was busy the first time B. he forgot what he was doing the first time C. he dialed the wrong number the first time D. he wanted his parents to have time to prepare
B
English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mails are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it shows the creativity (创造力) of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they can be seen; but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
25. According to the passage _______.
A. there should be egg in an eggplant B. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree C. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things D. boxing rings should be round
26. Which of the following is the correct plural? A. Beeth.
B. Geese.
C. Meese.
D. Tooth.
27. The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “_______”. A. get tired of
B. set down
C. ignore
D. finish
28. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to tell us that human
beings are _______. A. clever
B. crazy
C
I’d like to share my unforgettable experience with you. Believe it or not, it was a real happening.
We were on tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago, when right outside of the city, we got pulled over. A middle-aged policeman came up to the car and was really being troublesome at first. Lecturing us, he said, “You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?” Our guitarist, Tim, told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. His way towards us totally changed. He asked, “Oh, so you boys are in a band?” We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual band questions about the type of music we played, and how long we had been at it. Suddenly, he stopped and said, “Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, don’t you?” Tim said, “Yes.” So the officer asked him to step out of the car. The rest of us, inside the car, didn’t know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim. Next thing we knew, the policeman was putting Tim in the back of the police car he had parked in front of us. With that, he threw the car into reverse (倒车), stopping a few feet behind our car. Now we suddenly felt frightened. We didn’t know if we were all going to prison, or if the policeman was going to sell Tim on the black market or something. All of a sudden, the policeman’s voice came over his loudspeaker. He said, “Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90.” The policeman had told Tim that the only way he was getting out of the ticket was if he sang part of one of our songs over the loudspeaker in the police car. Seconds later, Tim started
C. dull
D. hard-working
