三、阅读理解。(40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项。
A
I remember a day when I was a little kid. I was making a sandwich in the kitchen when I noticed the date on one of the wine bottles.
“ Dad, dad!” I cried. “This wine is too old to drink.”
“ Son, hold on,” he said.
“ No, you can’t drink this tonight! This bottle of wine was made 10 years ago.”
“ Wait, let me tell you…”
“ Would you like me to throw it away from you?” I asked.
“ Son, wait a second,” he said. “Son, some wines get better over time. The longer you wait to drink it, the better it will be. Although this may seem strange, it is true.”
When I was young, I didn’t have any understanding of what this meant, but now, this would have been very helpful to remember as I went through my teenage years.
In our society, we forget this simple rule: The longer you want for certain things, the better they will be. But we want the best job as quickly as possible; we want to graduate from college in as few years as possible; we even speed through our homework just to chat with friends. When we do this, we lose something of great importance.
We all want to get to the next step so quickly that perhaps we don’t get ready enough to get there. This has a negative effect on our society. When trying to go to the right college, we will do anything to get in and when we rush through our class-work, we may not study enough for the test, and end up failing. We need to be ready for whatever comes, ready for the unexpected. Wine gets better over time, so do the things in our paths of life.
41. Why did the author tell his father not to drink the bottle of wine?
A. Because it smelt terrible.
B. Because it was mixed with something else.
C. Because his father drank too much that night.
D. Because it had been kept for years.
42. What the author’s father said __________.
A. made the author puzzled when he was a little child.
B. was too simple a rule to be meaningful to the author.
C. threw the author into deep thought then.
D. was an excuse to drink the wine.
43. In the author’s opinion, if we do things too quickly, we will __________.
A. do it better B. save much time
C. graduate from college more quickly D. miss something useful to us in life
44. Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the passage?
A. Well begun is half done. B. More haste(匆忙), less speed.
C. Failure is the mother of success. D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
B
There was a king who gave his daughter a beautiful diamond necklace. The necklace was stolen and his people in the kingdom searched everywhere but could not find it. So the king asked to search for it and put a reward for$50,000 for anyone who found it.
One day, a clerk was walking home along a river when he saw something shinning in the river and when he looked, he saw the diamond necklace. He decided to try and catch it to get the $50,000 reward.
He put his hand in the river and tried to catch the necklace, but somehow missed it and didn’t catch it. He took his hand out and looked again and the necklace was still there. He tried again.
But strangely, he still missed the necklace! He came out and started walking away, feeling sad. Just then, an old man walking by saw him, and asked him what was the matter. The clerk didn’t want to share the secret with him, thinking he might take the necklace for himself, so he refused to tell him anything.
The old man could see this man was troubled. He again asked the clerk to tell him the problem and promised that he would not tell anyone about it. The clerk told him about the necklace and how he tried and tried to catch it, but kept failing.
The old man then told him that perhaps he should try looking upward, toward the branches of the tree, instead of in the river. The clerk looked up and true enough, the necklace was hanging on the branch of a tree. He had been trying to take a reflection of the real necklace all this time.

As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself”(DIY)trend in the US continues to grow.
“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Roses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $520. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I have finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourself”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.
49. We can learn from the text that many newly married people__________.
A. find it hard to pay for what they need
B. have to learn to make their own furniture
C. take DIY courses run by the government

C. He couldn't possibly do two jobs D. keeps house and looks after his children
52. When the writer says that Jim has a full-time job at home, he means Jim_________.
A. makes shoes in his home B. does extra work at night
C. does his own car and home repairs D. keeps house and looks after his children

In many countries today, laws protect wildlife. In India, the need for such protection was realized centuries ago.
About 300 B.C. an Indian writer described forest that were somewhat like national parks today. The killing of game beasts was carefully supervised(监视). Some animals were fully protected.Within the forest, nobody was allowed to cut timber(wood for building), burn wood for charcoal(炭), or catch animals for their furs. Animals that became dangerous to human visitors were caught or killed outside the park so that other animals would not become uneasy.
The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before. About a thousand species of animals are in danger of extinction, and the rate of extinction was about one species every fifty years from A.D. 1 to 1800, but now it is about one species every year. Everywhere, men are trying to solve the problem of protecting wildlife caring for the rapid growth of the world’s population.
53. In forest of ancient India __________.

C. the killing of game beasts was strictly limited
D. no killing of beasts was allowed.
54. Dangerous animals were caught or killed outside the park so as to __________.
A. keep human visitors safe B. free the rest of the animals from worry or fear
C. both A and B D. supply other animals with more food
55. The underlined word “extinction” probably means __________.
A. being hungry B. dying out C. growing slowly D. being killed
56.The example of man’s connection with wildlife protection can date back to _______.
A. the third century B. more than 2000 years ago
C. A. D. 1 to 1800 D. over 300 years ago

As we all know, any country has good reasons to want its citizens to be as healthy as possible. This led to the introduction of a health service in many countries. France has developed into a country in which all citizens can get most of the health treatment free. The money for this is partly from the people who are willing to offer.
But there are different opinions about the Health Service. The number of patients treated every year and the cost of treatment are much greater than expected. This means that the people who work for the Health Service --- doctors, nurses and other hospital workers, have much more work to do, and as a result they have little time for preventive treatment.
However, the tough problem is that as many people are able to receive treatment more expensive than they can pay, sometimes people go and visit their doctors when they don’t really need to. As there are many patients, doctors cannot spend time long enough with each patient. So some people prefer to pay for their own treatment so that their doctors can examine them more carefully. In fact, some rich people feel that they should pay more free money, which would be given to other citizens.
57. France is described as an example to show that __________.
A. people have to pay part of the medical care
B. everyone in France enjoys free medical care
C. it is a country with the Health Service
D. it is a very rich country in Europe
58. What is the problem in the Health Service?
A. Money is not enough to employ more medical workers.
B. There are not enough well-treated doctors.
C. People can get more preventive treatment.
D. Doctors and nurses are not working hard.
59. Why do many people go and see the doctors even when they really don’t need to?
A. To keep himself even more healthy. B. To receive treatment free of charge.
C. To take back some expensive medicine. D.To get necessary protective treatment.
60. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The Health Service is quite successful so far.
B. People should not go to the doctors unless necessary.
C. There is much to improve the Health Service.
D. The rich should be allowed to pay for the treatment.
