七、阅读理解
A
My late (已故的) father was a great believer in reading the newspaper first thing in the morning ，a habit he passed
down to me.
Every day，I need news ，features and comics，along with the smell of printing ink, with breakfast, even if I have
searched the Internet earlier in the morning. When I sit down to eat my bread, the newspaper has to be there. When it is late,
my wife says I look lost.
Some need coffee in the morning. I need the newspaper, except when I’m on vacation. Then, I trade the routine for
coffee，unless the hotel hangs a newspaper on my door.
However，the sword of Damocles (达摩克利斯之剑) hangs over my routine—a day may come when there won’t even
be a newspaper. My younger friends insist this is the way newspapers will go. Maybe not in five or ten years，maybe it will
take 20 years but the future of newspapers is unsure.
My younger friends rarely read the print media these days. They want their news either on-screen or in a cool ，small
package they can take anywhere and read at any time. The iPad and other similar gadgets ( 小 玩意儿 ) will change our
lives，I’m told. Even e-book readers，after a bad start，appear to be back on track because of the iPad.
They insist we’re now in the twilight (衰退期) of the newspaper business and the iPad may help to end it. Such a future
is not something I like. Sure，there’s the Internet but it’s just not the same.
So here’s a little exercise for those who don’t want to read the newspapers any more. Buy one ，find a quiet corner at
home and spare an hour without distractions. Turn off your mobile phone，TV and PC，and lock up your wife，kids and
pets. Start reading，from the first page to the last, and all the different sections and advertisements. When you reach the last
page，you would have an experience that modern gadgets cannot offer.
56.According to the text, the author looks lost when .
A. he smells printing ink and breakfast B. his father asked him to read newspapers
C. he hasn’t searched the Internet in the morning D. the newspaper doesn’t come on time
57.The underlined part “the routine” in Paragraph 3 refers to “ ”.
A. reading the newspaper B. surfing the Internet
C. eating bread for breakfast D. hanging a newspaper on the door
58.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. It is unnecessary to read every part of a newspaper.
B. Reading newspapers is a good way to kill time.
C. Reading newspapers is a great experience.
D. A quiet place is important for reading newspapers.
59.Which of the following is TRUE about the author?
A. He used to read newspaper in the morning.
B. He never searches the Internet in the morning before breakfast.
C. He was influenced by his father to form the habit of reading the newspaper.
D. He thinks the Internet is the same as print media because both can give him information.
B
The largest-ever chariot pit (战车坑) of relics with carts and horse bones has been discovered in Henan Province. It
may lead to the uncovering of chariot pit groups that could be a key to under standing Chinese civilizations that existed
more than 2,000 years ago.
Experts said the relics are dated more than 300 years earlier than the famous warriors ( 武士) in Shaanxi Province.
What excited the experts were two other projects that located two huge pits with similar features.
“It is absolutely a miracle. These relics indicate that there could be a tomb group in this area, which is likely to be
important for China's archaeological (考古学的) studies.” said Ma Juncai, a leading relic researcher in the province.
In ancient China, carts, sheep, spoons and so on were buried to ensure that dead people had a happy afterlife. The
number and quality of the sacrifices indicated the social status of the dead. The custom was carried into the Qin Dynasty.
Emperor Qinshihuang's tomb, located near Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi Province, is accompanied by thousands of wood or
clay figures of warriors and horses. The tomb is probably the most well-known.
The discovered pit measures 10.4 meters long, 8.4 meters wide and 5 meters deep. It holds 20 carts in different sizes.
The smallest one is 1.05 meters long and 1.3 meters wide.
Experts think that 40 horses are likely to be found as well. Careful plans need to be made to deal with the demanding
uncovering. “The clay is very weak and a small misstep can destroy the whole project. That's why we need to take every
step very carefully to protect these cherished cultural relics.” Ma said.
60. What's the passage mainly about?
A. The dead people's sacrifices in ancient China.
B. China's archaeological studies.
C. The discovery of a large chariot pit in Henan Province.
D. The history of Chinese civilizations.
61. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that ________.
A. all dead people had sacrifices in ancient China
B. the discovered pit is the most well-known in the world
C. the discovered pit dates back to the Qin Dynasty
D. Emperor Qinshihuang wanted to maintain his power after death
62. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The discovery has drawn the leading experts' attention.
B. A lot of cultural relics have been discovered in Henan Province.
C. 40 horses have been discovered together with the chariot pit.
D. The discovered carts in the chariot pit are similar in size.
C
There used to be a term that was used to describe someone who drove their vehicles down the highway while staring at
the scenery. These drivers just drove slowly, taking their own sweet time ， as if they had nothing to do and no place in
particular to go. Thus, the expression ， “ Sunday driver”, was born. Consequently, a Sunday driver wasn't necessarily
someone who was driving on a Sunday. A person could be a Sunday driver any day of the
week.The_expression_simply_meant_that_the_person_was_an_obstacle_to_other_drivers_who_were_in_a_hurry.
The expression probably came about because there was a time when people would often decide to go for a relaxing
drive on Sunday afternoons. A Sunday drive was a common occurrence years ago and especially on a nice warm sunny day.
There were no stores open on Sunday because of the “blue laws” ，so you needed to be sure and fill up the gas tank and
make any other needed purchases before Sunday arrived.
Some of the states had strict blue laws that even prohibited some activities on Sunday. However, there is still a lot to be
said for the slow, gentle life that once existed. It was a time when very few people worked on Sunday except for those
professions vital to our wellbeing such as those in the medical profession. It was a day “set apart” that was used to rest, visit
with neighbors and friends, or maybe go to grandma's house for supper. Today there are many who return to work and
children who go back to school overly tired on Monday due to a lack of rest. Perhaps there would be less stress related
illnesses if we really kept Sunday as a day of rest.
63. According to the passage，“Sunday driver” refers to the person who ________.
A. drives his vehicle on Sundays B. drives for fun and relaxation
C. enjoys a weekend break D. makes a Sunday purchase
64. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Sunday drivers affected traffic flow. B. Sunday drivers drove too slowly.
C. Sunday drivers increased traffic speed. D. Sunday drivers felt hatred for other drivers.
65. What kind of activity was strictly prohibited on Sunday by blue laws?
A. Visiting with neighbors and friends. B. Going to the hospital to see a doctor.
C. Having a family get-together. D. Selling goods or services.
66. What is the author's attitude toward “blue laws”？
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Opposed. D. Conservative.
D
At dawn on Friday, May 19,1780，farmers in New England stopped to wonder at the pink color of the sun. By noon
the sky had darkened to midnight blackness, causing Americans, still in the painful struggle of a prolonged war of
independence ， to light candles and tremble at thoughts of the Last Judgment. As the birds quieted and no storm
accompanied the darkness, men and women crowded into churches，where one minister commented that “The people were
very attentive”. John Greenleaf Whittier later wrote that “Men prayed, and women wept；all ears grew sharp...”
A recent study of researchers, led by Richard Guyette from the University of Missouri Tree-Ring Laboratory ， has
shown that vast forest fires in the Algonquin Highlands of southern Ontario and elsewhere in Canada brought this event
upon New England. The scientists have discovered “fire scars” on the rings for that year ，left when the heat of a wildfire
has killed a part of a tree's cambium (形成层). Evidence collected also points to a drought that year. An easterly wind and
low barometric pressure (低气压) helped force smoke into the upper atmosphere. “The record fits pretty close ，” says
Guyette. “We had the right fuel，the drought. The conditions were all there.”
Lacking the ability to communicate quickly over long distances, Americans in 1780 remained in the dark about the
event，which had disappeared by the next day. Over the next several months, the papers carried heated debates about what
brought the darkness. Some were the voices of angry prediction ，such as one Massachusetts farmer who wrote ，“ Oh!
Backsliding New England, attend now to the things which belong to your peace before they are forever hid from your eyes.”
Others gave different answers. One stated that “a flaming star” had passed between the earth and the sun. Ash, argued
another commentator. The debate, carried on throughout New England, where there were no scientific journals or academies
yet, reflected an unfolding culture of scientific enquir y already sweeping the Western world ， a revolution nearly as
influential as the war for independence from the English.
New Englanders would not soon forget that dark day；it lived on in folklore, poems，and sermons for generations
67. New Englanders crowded into churches because they were frightened by ________.
A. the pink color of the sun B. the darkened sky at daytime
C. the Last Judgment on Friday D. the American War of Independence
68. What can we infer about the event in New England on May 19,1780?
A. Prayers remained silent and attentive. B. Night birds no longer came out to sing.
C. People's ears became sharper than usual. D. Midday meals were served by candlelight.
69. What can we know about the debates after the dark day?
A. They focused on causes of the event.
B. They swept throughout the Western world.
C. They were organized by scientific institutions.
D. They improved Americans' ability to communicate.
70. What can be the BEST title for the text?
A. New England's dark day B. Voices of angry prediction
C. There is no smoke without fire D. Tree rings and scientific discovery
八、任务型阅读
Because six of every ten accidental deaths happen to Chinese children who are playing, Shanghai Johnson & Johnson
Pharmaceutical (SJJP), a US-based pharmaceutical(制药的) giant, is working on a Safe Kids Program to prevent injuries
and deaths.
Since the Safe Kids Worldwide was set up in 1987 by Johnson & Johnson in the US, it has contributed to a nearly 40
percent decline in the child death rate from accidental injuries there. Learning from the successful experience, SJJP began
the Safe Kids Program in China in 1999.
A recent survey conducted by SJJP and Safe Kids Worldwide China indicates that more than half of the responding
parents didn't know how to help their children keep safe and that half of the parents didn't know about their children's motor
skill development at different ages. The survey covered 3,359 Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou's parents with children
between infancy(婴幼年) and 14.
Additionally, more than 40 percent of the parents didn't know how to help their children to prepare well for sports
activities. For example, they don't know how to have their children warm up or realize the importance of a playground-
check before sports activities.
To help correct the problems, SJJP and Safe Kids Worldwide China have been translating and editing safety education
materials, sending them to parents free of charge, and giving free lectures in kindergartens, schools and communities for the
last ten years.
At present, a special team has been set up and traveling around 12 key cities of China to popularize child sports safety
knowledge and offer free training for young parents.
Though SJJP refuses to say how much it has spent on th e program, it says the number in terms of money, staff and
technology, is large.
