第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
Would you like to be a king or queen？ To have people waiting on your hand and foot？ Many Americans experience this royal treatment every day. How？ By being customers. The American idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention. Need proof？ Just listen to the commercials （貿(mào)易者）。 Most of them sound like the McDonald“s advertisement： ”We do it all for you.“ Actually， not all stories in America roll out the red carpet for their customers. But wherever you go， good customer service means making customers feel special.
People going shopping in America can expect to be treated with respect from the very beginning. Most places don“t have a ”Furniture street“ or a ”computer road“ which allow you to compare prices easily. Instead， people often use the telephone and ”let their fingers do the walking“ through the Yellow Pages. From the first ”hello“， customers receive a courteous response to their questions. This beginning touch can help them decide where to shop.
When customers get to the store， they are treated as honored guests. Customers don“t usually find store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards. Instead， the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want. In most stores， the signs that label each department make shopping an easy thing. Customers usually don”t have to ask how much items cost， since prices are clearly marked. And unless they“re at a flea market or a yard sale， they don”t bother trying to bargain. When customers are ready to check out， they find the nearest and shorted checkout lane （通道）。
For many American customers， service is everything. Customer service in America grows out of the belief that “the customer is always right.” That may not always be true. But， as someone has said， the customer is always the customers.
56.In the view of Americans， the good customer service is ____________.
A.rolling out the red carpet for the customers
B.making each customer a king or queen
C.doing all that customers need to do
D.making customers the center of attention and feel special
57.What does this passage mainly talk about？
A.How to become a king or queen in America
B.How to buy goods without bargain in America
C.What customer service is like in America
D.Why customers in America are treated as honored guests
58.When customers come to a market or a shop， they may often find ________.
A.store clerks don“t like watching TV or playing cards
B.quite a few store clerks are sitting around chatting
C.all the goods are marked with prices to avoid a bargain
D.the labeled departments are easy to find
The city of London installed （安裝） the world“s first traffic light at one of its busy crossroads in 1868. It was a lantern that turned. The lantern burned gas to produce its red and green signals. Unfortunately， on January 2， 1869， this light exploded and injured the police officer who was operating it.
In the first decade of the 20th century， Ford Motor Company began producing large numbers of automobiles. With this production， the traffic situation went from bad to worse. Police forces all around the country had a problem because cities had to put a full-time police officer at every busy crossroad. While controlling traffic at one of these crossroads in Detroit， Michigan， William Potts solved this problem. He used some wire and electrical controls to adapt railroad signals to create a simple traffic light with red， yellow， and green lights. This first working light， on the corner of Woodward and Michigan Avenues in Detroit， was installed in 1920. By the end of that year， the city had 14 other lights like this one.
In the same decade， Garrett Morgan invented the first electric automatic traffic light. Traffic on streets at this time was heavy， with cars， horses， and pedestrians （行人） all sharing the same road. This was a problem， but what was it that motivated Morgan to work on his new invention？ Morgan witnessed a terrible accident between a car and a horse and wondered how to prevent this from happening again.
59.The main idea of Paragraph 1 is that the first traffic signal _____.
A.was in England B.was not so successful
C.used gas D.was installed as traffic light in the 18th century
60.We may conclude that William Ports was a _____.
A.bad driver B.Ford Motor Company worker
C.truck company manager D.police officer
61.By the end of 1920， the city of Detroit had _____ traffic lights.
A.13 B.14 C.15 D.16
62.What motivated Morgan to work on his new invention？
A.A police officer operated each signal.
B.The early signals had only red and yellow lights.
C.A terrible accident happened between a car and a horse.
D.No one noticed the traffic signals.
63.The underlined word “ witnessed ” means _____.
A.paid money for B.saw C.invented D.planned

A recent trend （趨勢） in Californian restaurants shows new eating habits among those out to have an interesting dining experience. Appetizers seem to be the name of the games as diners turn away from the more traditional three-course meal in favor of smaller snacks sampled in various types of restaurants， bars and cafes. In this way， in the course of an evening out， you might go to a restaurant for a tasty dish to eat at one end of town， to a bar with some live music at the other end， then for a coffee， and finally back to the restaurant for a further appetizer.
Reasons for this trend are the fact that so many different types of restaurants have been set up recently， each with their own particular type of food and special atmosphere， combined with the increased sophistication in the type of snacks being offered. Gone are the cheese sticks of the old days， when appetizers were not really taken seriously. Some favorite snacks of the moment are slices of hot pizza， creamy fish-based dishes and crispy cakes and so on.
Prices for appetizers are not equal to a full meal； however， their new popularity has meant that they are by no means as cheap as they used to be. Certainly， for that special occasion， a meal in a nice restaurant， complete with the piano performance， is hard to beat. However， if we see that this trend for "butterfly eating"—— moving around several different places in one evening —— continues， then all the traditional style restaurants may well have to provide their own appetizer bars as well！
67.How are Californian people“s eating habits changing？
A.People are dining out less.
B.Californian restaurants are becoming less popular.
C.Most people eat less than they used to.
D.A full restaurant meal is losing popularity.
68.All the places which serve appetizers _____.
A.have much the same menu B.have their own particular characteristics
C.have a bar with live music D.are located at the end of the town
69.If you go out for an evening of appetizers， you are likely to ______.
A.need a car or a bus or other transport
B.be bored with some kinds of snacks
C.spend more time for a full meal than you would
D.eat too much meat
70.What does the underlined words "increased sophistication" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A.Serving a bigger share. B.Using healthier mixture.
C.Charging more for food. D.Offering better quality and variety.

So far as I know， Miss Hannah was the first person to give the basic difference between work and labor. To be happy， a man must feel， firstly， free and， secondly， important. He cannot be really happy if he is forced by society to do what he does not enjoy doing， or if what he enjoys doing is lowly thought of by society as valueless or unimportant. In a society where slavery in the strict sense has been got rid of， the sign that what a man does is of social value is that he is paid money to do it， but a laborer today can rightly be called a wage slave. A man is a laborer if the job that society offers him is not interesting to himself but he has to take it just owing to the necessity of earning a living and supporting his family.
The opposite side to labor is play. When we play a game， we enjoy what we are doing， otherwise we should not play it， but it is a purely private activity； and society could not care less whether we play it or not.
Between labor and play stands work. A man is a worker if he is personally interested in the job which society pays him to do； what from the point view of society is necessary labor is from his own point of view willing play. Whether a job is to be classified as labor or work depends， not on the job itself， but on the tastes of the individual who does it. The difference does not， for example， agree with the difference between a physical and a mental job； a gardener or a cobber may be a worker， a bank clerk a labor.
Which a man is can be seen from his attitude toward leisure. To a worker， leisure means simply the hours he needs to relax and rest in order to work efficiently. He is therefore more likely to take too little leisure than too much； workers die of coronaries （冠狀動(dòng)脈血栓） and forget their wives“ birthdays. To the laborer， on the other hand， leisure means freedom from compulsion （強(qiáng)迫）， so that it is natural for him to imagine that the fewer hours he has to spend laboring， and the more hours he is free to play， the better.
71.A man feels happy when ___________.
A.he is supposed to do what is important in his opinion
B.he has to take a job to earn a living and support his family
C.he is doing something personally interesting and socially valuable
D.what he enjoys doing is what he thinks highly of
72.The reason why a laborer can be called a wage slave is that __________.
A.he has a family to support
B.his wages are as low as what a salve used to make
C.society doesn“t care whether he plays or not
D.he is doing the job only for money， not for interest
73.According to the text， if a man is a worker， which of the following statements is NOT true？
A.He cares more about his health and family than his job.
B.how different people judge it from their own points of view.
C.He does leisure to relax himself just in order to work more efficiently.
D.The society thinks a job necessary labor， but he thinks it willing play.
74.Whether a job can be classified as labor or work depends on__________.
A.whether it is physical or mental
B.the tastes of the person who does it
C.the attitude of the society toward it
D.the necessity of the job to the society and individual
75.Which of the following can be the best title of the text？
A.Whether To Work or To Play B.Work， Labor， and Play
C.Differences Between Labor and Play D.Leisure， Key to Work， Labor and Play

One possible version：
Nowadays some students have got into bad habits. In our daily life we can often see them throw rubbish here and there. Some don“t bother to turn off the taps after using running water and sometimes they leave the lights on when they are out. Some even say very dirty words in public， which has a bad effect on the others.
It is bad manners to behave so. I hope everyone will obey the general rules in school. Never throw waste anywhere and keep the ground clean. We should try to save our running water and electricity. Above all， we should be polite to others. If we can give up those bad habits， life will be much better.

Everybody here is very kind to me， but there are times when I think of home and get rather sad. I sometimes get a little tired of English cooking. Once a week I go to Soho. Soho is a part of London where there are all sorts of restaurants， French， Italian， Greek， Spanish， Indian， and Chinese. So when I“m tired of English cooking， I go to one of the Soho restaurants. Sometimes I even have a bottle of wine！ Wine isn”t cheap in England. It isn“t something we drink every day.
English people do not talk as much as we do. I“ve often traveled by train and nobody has spoken to me during the journeys. I know one Englishman who is unusual……， he speaks seven languages. He can also be silent in seven languages！ But I”ve found one way to make him talk. He“s interested in mountain climbing. If I ask him about climbing， he”s always ready to talk.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
Would you like to be a king or queen？ To have people waiting on your hand and foot？ Many Americans experience this royal treatment every day. How？ By being customers. The American idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention. Need proof？ Just listen to the commercials （貿(mào)易者）。 Most of them sound like the McDonald“s advertisement： ”We do it all for you.“ Actually， not all stories in America roll out the red carpet for their customers. But wherever you go， good customer service means making customers feel special.
People going shopping in America can expect to be treated with respect from the very beginning. Most places don“t have a ”Furniture street“ or a ”computer road“ which allow you to compare prices easily. Instead， people often use the telephone and ”let their fingers do the walking“ through the Yellow Pages. From the first ”hello“， customers receive a courteous response to their questions. This beginning touch can help them decide where to shop.
When customers get to the store， they are treated as honored guests. Customers don“t usually find store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards. Instead， the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want. In most stores， the signs that label each department make shopping an easy thing. Customers usually don”t have to ask how much items cost， since prices are clearly marked. And unless they“re at a flea market or a yard sale， they don”t bother trying to bargain. When customers are ready to check out， they find the nearest and shorted checkout lane （通道）。
For many American customers， service is everything. Customer service in America grows out of the belief that “the customer is always right.” That may not always be true. But， as someone has said， the customer is always the customers.
56.In the view of Americans， the good customer service is ____________.
A.rolling out the red carpet for the customers
B.making each customer a king or queen
C.doing all that customers need to do
D.making customers the center of attention and feel special
57.What does this passage mainly talk about？
A.How to become a king or queen in America
B.How to buy goods without bargain in America
C.What customer service is like in America
D.Why customers in America are treated as honored guests
58.When customers come to a market or a shop， they may often find ________.
A.store clerks don“t like watching TV or playing cards
B.quite a few store clerks are sitting around chatting
C.all the goods are marked with prices to avoid a bargain
D.the labeled departments are easy to find
The city of London installed （安裝） the world“s first traffic light at one of its busy crossroads in 1868. It was a lantern that turned. The lantern burned gas to produce its red and green signals. Unfortunately， on January 2， 1869， this light exploded and injured the police officer who was operating it.
In the first decade of the 20th century， Ford Motor Company began producing large numbers of automobiles. With this production， the traffic situation went from bad to worse. Police forces all around the country had a problem because cities had to put a full-time police officer at every busy crossroad. While controlling traffic at one of these crossroads in Detroit， Michigan， William Potts solved this problem. He used some wire and electrical controls to adapt railroad signals to create a simple traffic light with red， yellow， and green lights. This first working light， on the corner of Woodward and Michigan Avenues in Detroit， was installed in 1920. By the end of that year， the city had 14 other lights like this one.
In the same decade， Garrett Morgan invented the first electric automatic traffic light. Traffic on streets at this time was heavy， with cars， horses， and pedestrians （行人） all sharing the same road. This was a problem， but what was it that motivated Morgan to work on his new invention？ Morgan witnessed a terrible accident between a car and a horse and wondered how to prevent this from happening again.
59.The main idea of Paragraph 1 is that the first traffic signal _____.
A.was in England B.was not so successful
C.used gas D.was installed as traffic light in the 18th century
60.We may conclude that William Ports was a _____.
A.bad driver B.Ford Motor Company worker
C.truck company manager D.police officer
61.By the end of 1920， the city of Detroit had _____ traffic lights.
A.13 B.14 C.15 D.16
62.What motivated Morgan to work on his new invention？
A.A police officer operated each signal.
B.The early signals had only red and yellow lights.
C.A terrible accident happened between a car and a horse.
D.No one noticed the traffic signals.
63.The underlined word “ witnessed ” means _____.
A.paid money for B.saw C.invented D.planned
C

A recent trend （趨勢） in Californian restaurants shows new eating habits among those out to have an interesting dining experience. Appetizers seem to be the name of the games as diners turn away from the more traditional three-course meal in favor of smaller snacks sampled in various types of restaurants， bars and cafes. In this way， in the course of an evening out， you might go to a restaurant for a tasty dish to eat at one end of town， to a bar with some live music at the other end， then for a coffee， and finally back to the restaurant for a further appetizer.
Reasons for this trend are the fact that so many different types of restaurants have been set up recently， each with their own particular type of food and special atmosphere， combined with the increased sophistication in the type of snacks being offered. Gone are the cheese sticks of the old days， when appetizers were not really taken seriously. Some favorite snacks of the moment are slices of hot pizza， creamy fish-based dishes and crispy cakes and so on.
Prices for appetizers are not equal to a full meal； however， their new popularity has meant that they are by no means as cheap as they used to be. Certainly， for that special occasion， a meal in a nice restaurant， complete with the piano performance， is hard to beat. However， if we see that this trend for "butterfly eating"—— moving around several different places in one evening —— continues， then all the traditional style restaurants may well have to provide their own appetizer bars as well！
67.How are Californian people“s eating habits changing？
A.People are dining out less.
B.Californian restaurants are becoming less popular.
C.Most people eat less than they used to.
D.A full restaurant meal is losing popularity.
68.All the places which serve appetizers _____.
A.have much the same menu B.have their own particular characteristics
C.have a bar with live music D.are located at the end of the town
69.If you go out for an evening of appetizers， you are likely to ______.
A.need a car or a bus or other transport
B.be bored with some kinds of snacks
C.spend more time for a full meal than you would
D.eat too much meat
70.What does the underlined words "increased sophistication" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A.Serving a bigger share. B.Using healthier mixture.
C.Charging more for food. D.Offering better quality and variety.

So far as I know， Miss Hannah was the first person to give the basic difference between work and labor. To be happy， a man must feel， firstly， free and， secondly， important. He cannot be really happy if he is forced by society to do what he does not enjoy doing， or if what he enjoys doing is lowly thought of by society as valueless or unimportant. In a society where slavery in the strict sense has been got rid of， the sign that what a man does is of social value is that he is paid money to do it， but a laborer today can rightly be called a wage slave. A man is a laborer if the job that society offers him is not interesting to himself but he has to take it just owing to the necessity of earning a living and supporting his family.
The opposite side to labor is play. When we play a game， we enjoy what we are doing， otherwise we should not play it， but it is a purely private activity； and society could not care less whether we play it or not.
Between labor and play stands work. A man is a worker if he is personally interested in the job which society pays him to do； what from the point view of society is necessary labor is from his own point of view willing play. Whether a job is to be classified as labor or work depends， not on the job itself， but on the tastes of the individual who does it. The difference does not， for example， agree with the difference between a physical and a mental job； a gardener or a cobber may be a worker， a bank clerk a labor.
Which a man is can be seen from his attitude toward leisure. To a worker， leisure means simply the hours he needs to relax and rest in order to work efficiently. He is therefore more likely to take too little leisure than too much； workers die of coronaries （冠狀動(dòng)脈血栓） and forget their wives“ birthdays. To the laborer， on the other hand， leisure means freedom from compulsion （強(qiáng)迫）， so that it is natural for him to imagine that the fewer hours he has to spend laboring， and the more hours he is free to play， the better.
71.A man feels happy when ___________.
A.he is supposed to do what is important in his opinion
B.he has to take a job to earn a living and support his family
C.he is doing something personally interesting and socially valuable
D.what he enjoys doing is what he thinks highly of
72.The reason why a laborer can be called a wage slave is that __________.
A.he has a family to support
B.his wages are as low as what a salve used to make
C.society doesn“t care whether he plays or not
D.he is doing the job only for money， not for interest
73.According to the text， if a man is a worker， which of the following statements is NOT true？
A.He cares more about his health and family than his job.
B.how different people judge it from their own points of view.
C.He does leisure to relax himself just in order to work more efficiently.
D.The society thinks a job necessary labor， but he thinks it willing play.
74.Whether a job can be classified as labor or work depends on__________.
A.whether it is physical or mental
B.the tastes of the person who does it
C.the attitude of the society toward it
D.the necessity of the job to the society and individual
75.Which of the following can be the best title of the text？
A.Whether To Work or To Play B.Work， Labor， and Play
C.Differences Between Labor and Play D.Leisure， Key to Work， Labor and Play

One possible version：
Nowadays some students have got into bad habits. In our daily life we can often see them throw rubbish here and there. Some don“t bother to turn off the taps after using running water and sometimes they leave the lights on when they are out. Some even say very dirty words in public， which has a bad effect on the others.
It is bad manners to behave so. I hope everyone will obey the general rules in school. Never throw waste anywhere and keep the ground clean. We should try to save our running water and electricity. Above all， we should be polite to others. If we can give up those bad habits， life will be much better.

M： That“s probably it！ No wonder the line was busy all the time！ Maybe he ought to get another line.
W： Or he should get call-waiting.

M： Excuse me. Are you waiting to buy concert tickets？
W： Yes， I am. So are all these people in front of me.
M： Have you been here long？
W： About 45 minutes. I“ve moved forward a total about 3 feet.
M： You“re kidding.
W： Not at all. A couple having waited for one hour ahead of me finally gave up and left.
M： Does anyone know what caused the delay？
W： There are just not enough people selling tickets this afternoon.
M： I guess I should have come before lunch.
W： Very possibly you would meet the same thing because many people have been looking forward to it for a long time.
M： You bet it is.

M： May， what do you usually have for breakfast in America？
W： I usually eat bread ， fried eggs， and a bowl of porridge. What about you Paul？
M： I like to have ham and eggs， bread and butter， vegetable salad and an orange， a usually English breakfast.
W： More and more young couples in China have come to like a western breakfast. They think it“s very convenient and good for their health.
M： Having western food for breakfast is good for one“s health. In English since most people begin working early in the afternoon， they often have fast food for lunch such as sandwiches， apple pies and beef noodles.
W： We often have lunch in a dining hall.
M： Do you have the habit of drinking afternoon tea with cakes？
W： No， we usually wait for dinner. It“s the biggest meal of the day. All the members of the family come home and sit together， enjoying dishes with cooked rice.

W： Excuse me. I“m really sorry to bother you but I do have a question.
M： It“s no trouble at all.
W： I found some books in the card catalog I“d like to borrow. How do I get the books？
M： I“m sorry. I should have explained that before. Take this "call slip" and fill it out with the call number， title and author of the book and your name， address， phone number and I.D. number.
W： What do I do once I“ve filled out the call slip？
M： Then you can search for the book yourself， using the call number as your guide as the books are arranged numerically by call numbers.
W： Can“t I ask a librarian to find it for me？
M： Sure. But they are often very busy. By browsing， you might also find other materials which are of interest to you.
W： OK. Thanks a lot.

Everybody here is very kind to me， but there are times when I think of home and get rather sad. I sometimes get a little tired of English cooking. Once a week I go to Soho. Soho is a part of London where there are all sorts of restaurants， French， Italian， Greek， Spanish， Indian， and Chinese. So when I“m tired of English cooking， I go to one of the Soho restaurants. Sometimes I even have a bottle of wine！ Wine isn”t cheap in England. It isn“t something we drink every day.
English people do not talk as much as we do. I“ve often traveled by train and nobody has spoken to me during the journeys. I know one Englishman who is unusual……， he speaks seven languages. He can also be silent in seven languages！ But I”ve found one way to make him talk. He“s interested in mountain climbing. If I ask him about climbing， he”s always ready to talk.
