III．阅读理解（共25小题，每小题2分，满足，50分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。
（A）
Many university students dislike studying
history because there is little to get excited about when historical events are
presented in a boring manner. However, Ill never forget my American History
professor, Dr Williamson. Each event leaped from the pages of our text and
became as real as the daily news report on the radio. My favorite lecture
concerned the American Revolution. Dr Williamson set the mood for the story by
imitating(模仿) Paul
Revere, a well known silversmith, working in his shop. The American colonists(殖民地开拓者) were angry because of the
British control over their lives. Revere felt that war between the British and
the colonists was to come soon. Then, Dr Williamson told us about Revere rowing
across the Charles River from Boston on April 18,1775. I can see the professor
now as he raised his hand to his forehead as if he were looking across the
Charles River to the Old North Church in Boston. Suddenly, Revere saw two
lanterns, a signal which meant that the British would attack by sea. He jumped
on his horse to warn the villagers of the attack. Professor Williamson reminded
us that the first battles of the American Revolution were fought at Corncord
and Lexington, Massachusetts, the year before the Declaration of Independence (独立宣言) was signed in 1776, Never
before had history seemed so alive to me. And all because a professor cared
enough to put his heart into his teaching.
46. Why does the speaker feel that most
students dislike history? He believes that .
A history professors are poorly prepared
B professors fail to present facts in an
interesting way
C most students are lazy

waste of time

was a .

Revere? The British .

C were willing to sign the Declaration of
Independence
D had won the first two battles of the
Revolution
50. In which year were the first battles of
the Revolution fought?
A In 1774 B In 1776 C In 1775 D In 1777
(B)
Pennsylvania When Connie Beck and her
husband awoke to strange noises last weekend, they thought high winds were
rattling their home.
What they found was even more unexpected: A
deer was taking a bubble bath in their bathtub.
I wasnt exactly dressed for
company, Mrs. Beck said. We were just waking up.
The deer burst through the front door early
Saturday, ran past the couples bedroom and into the bathroom.
Somehow he managed to turn on the water in
the bathtub and knock over a bottle of bubble bath into the bathtub.
He then got himself into the bubbly water.
You could hear the water running over
the kicking. Beck said.
The Becks called State Game Commission
officials, who arrived with tranquilizers (镇定剂) and a lot of laughter.
A guy said, theres nothing wrong
hes just in there taking a bubble bath, Mrs Beck said.
The animal was soon brought under control,
removed from the house and released.
He was unharmed except for a little
cut above the eye, said Mrs Beck. We were also fortunate. There
wasnt much damage, except for the front door, some marks on the tub, and a few
hoof prints on the floor.

If youre in charge of a project, the key
to success is getting everyone to want to help you. As a director, I point. I
suggest. I gently push the actors in the direction I want them to go .
In the 1986 movie Nothing in Common, Jackie
Gleasons character, Max Basner, gets fired from his job as a clothing
salesman. The scene, shot on a boat, shows Maxs despair about being out of
work. I was looking for some gesture that would allow Max to show his feelings.
Jackie had far more experience at everything
than I did, and at first I was frightened. What could I possibly tell
The Great One about acting? Out of fear I decided to direct by
suggestion, and I sat down with Gleason to talk about the scene. So Max
is sad, right? I said.
Gleason nodded.
And hes probably still carrying his
pens with his name on them-the ones he used to hand out to his customers,
right?
Gleason nodded.
So what would you want to do with
the pens after you were fired?
He was silent for a moment. Why dont
I throw them overboard?
I stood up and turned toward the crew.
Hey, everybody, Jackie has a wonderful idea. Lets shoot it.
After filming the scene, Gleason called me
over and said with a smile, Garry, what kind of wonderful idea am I going
to have tomorrow?
You and your team can discover the answers
to problems together. When there are no prizes or gold stars for who gets the
solution first, youll all benefit when everything turns out right.

a project you are in charge of you should .

fired from his job

low spirits when he loses his job
D Jackie Gleason is the writer of the film
Nothing in common
57. The Great One in paragraph
3 refers to .

58. Why did Gleason call the director over
and smile at him? Because Gleason
A thought his wonderful idea was accepted
by the latter

idea

films

(D)
At present, there are five network
firms-China Telecom, China Unicom, Jitong Communications, China Netcom and
China Mobile -that are allowed to operate IP services in China. Each company
has its advantages in service.
Charge
As the Ministry of Information Industry
co-ordinates, the charges of IP calls of the five companies are the same, 0.30
yuan per minute for DDD calls, 4.80 yuan per minute for IDD calls, 2.50 yuan
for calls from the mainland to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, and 1.50yuan from
Shenzhen to HK, Zhongshan and Zhuhai to Macao. IP callers dont enjoy discounts
on holidays.
Range
China Telecom has the widest coverage. All
cities in China with telephone access and most countries in the world are open
to China Telecoms IP card.
China Unicoms IP card can reach 29 cities
nationwide and more than 130 countries and regions worldwide. Jitong IP can
access(接通) 12 cities
in China and over 70 countries and regions worldwide.
China Netcoms IP card can reach 14 cities
in China and 149 countries and regions in the world.
China Mobiles IP card is open to only six
cities nationwide but can access more than 200 countries and regions worldwide.
Voice quality
China Telecom realizes its IP service by
the public Internet, therefore net congestion (拥挤) and voice delay may sometimes disturb conversations. The other
four companies have their private data networks, which help to increase
transmission speeds and improve voice quality.
Other services
China Telecom, Jitong and China Mobile
offer account transfer services. Users can transfer the remaining sum of money
on one card to another card.
Jitong and Netcom link their services with
bank cards. One can enjoy IPs service without an IP card. Bank card users can
make IP phone calls with their bank card numbers, so they neednt buy new IP
cards and remember the new numbers again and again.
As for customer service, China Telecom,
China Unicom and China Mobile provide free hot line service, while Jitong and
Netcom charge for their services.
60. What does the passage mainly talk
about?
A Organization of the five IP firms.
B Difference between the five IP firms.
C Foundation of Chinas five IP firms
D Development of Chinas five IP firms
61. Which of the following is mentioned in
the passage?
A China Unicom charges IDD calls more than
the other four firms.
B China Mobiles coverage is the least of
the five firms.
C China Telecom accesses many more cities
nationwide than the other four
D China Netcom is the only one to be
allowed to operate IP service
62. When enjoying IP service,
A Jitong users neednt buy IP cards
B China Telecom users neeednt buy new IP
cards
C Netcom users have to link with a bank
D China Mobile users have to pay for their
hot line service
63. If you want to access more foreign
countries and regions with better voice quality, youd better choose IP card.
A China Telecoms B China Mobiles
C China Netcoms D China Unicoms
(E)
The purpose of the information superhighway
is to provide remote electronic banking, schooling, shopping, taxpaying,
chatting, game playing, video conferencing, movie ordering and medical
diagnosing.
Heres what it wont do: It wont remove
the need to shop at stores, drive a car, visit friends, or do most of the
things you normally do now.
It might make many things you do easier and
more convenient. Movies you now can get only at video stores will be available
on your TV 24 hours a day.
The information superhighway will carry all
kinds of personal matters from your tastes in movies to your buying habits. How
this information will be protected is one of the great unknowns.
Computer hackers represent another threat (威胁). Last February, high tech
marauders were able to steal thousands of passwords from Internet; this would
allow them to read hundreds of personal files, including E-mail. Such a
break-in could result in anything from a small inconvenience to a loss of
privacy.
On the other hand, computerized systems
give financial institutions (金融机构) and police stations much better tools for picking out patterns of
criminal behavior.
64. According to the passage , the
information superhighway cant be used for
A education B conversation C going out
dining D medical service
65.Which of the following can be inferred
from the passage?
A The information superhighway will get rid
of the need to shop at stores.
B It is possible to do shopping through the
information superhighway
C The information superhighway can perform
the operation in hospital
D The information superhighway will do most
of the things you normally do now.
66. From the passage we can learn that
A it is hard to protect the privacy of
superhighway users
B superhighway has a thousand passwords
C financial institutions can deal with
criminal behavior
D nobody knows your buying habits from the
superhighway
67. In the fifth paragraph, the underlined
word marauders means
A operators B engineers C thieves D
managers
(F)
The expression burning your
bridges means acting in such a way that you destroy any chance of turning
back or changing your decision.
You can burn your bridges when you are
offered a new job. Suppose, for example, that you decide to take the new job.
You tell your old boss about your decision. You also tell him how glad you are
to leave.
With these words, you have burned your
bridges. Your boss will never let you return to your old job.
The expression burning your
bridges gets its name from similar expression, burning your
boats. Long ago, military ( connected with armies ) commanders wanted to
make it clear to their troops that victory was expected. To make this point, an
invading (入侵) force
would burn its boats after landing on an enemy shore. This made it impossible
to retreat a withdraw (撤退) Only by defeating the enemy would the invading troops be able to
return safely to their home country. In burning their boats, the invaders had
burned their bridges home.
Most people who burn their
bridges today do not belong to the military. But like those armies, they
move in a new direction with on chance of turning back.
One part of a persons life ends suddenly,
and another begins .Soon, the new life continues on a path of its own. All that
remains of the old path are memories
There is another expression that all bridge
burners should not forget. It usually is in the form of a warning. Dont
cross your bridges until you come to them. The meaning is clear: Dont
act until the time is right.
68. The best title for this passage is
A Giving up Your Hope
B Changing Your Last Decision
C Burning Your Boats or Bridges
D Thinking Before You Act
69. The expression Dont cross your
bridges until you come to them. Means
A when the time is right it is safe to
cross rivers
B dont waste time thinking difficulties
which may never appear
C in order to win victory, destroy any
chance of turning back
D to defeat the enemy, burn your boats soon
after landing on its shore
70. When burning ones boats, one really
shows his great determination to
A make peace with his enemy B get back to
the old path
C creat a better world D start a new life
