第一节 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I’ve never visited the town of Wetumka in Oklahoma. But I understand the folks there celebrate a day every year when they laugh at themselves. They call it Sucker Day and they plan a town festival on the last Saturday of September to celebrate it.
It started in 1950 when a man called himself Morrison arrived there and persuaded local residents to put up money to bring a circus to town. They didn’t know him, but he was a nice enough fellow and they trusted his words.
Businessmen bought plenty of food, drinks, and even they prepared gifts for crowds of people who were bound to arrive. And Morrison sold tickets ahead of time. People in the town were so excited at the sight of a circus in their own town. Children could hardly sleep at night.
On the day the circus parade was to march in the main street, excitement turned into disappointment when nothing happened. Morrison had escaped away in the night with all the money he had got. There was no circus. The good folks of Wetumka were cheated.
It didn’t take long for their disappointment to turn to amusement, however, someone came up with an idea of holding a four-day celebration anyway. And why not? They had all the food and gifts. Calendars were clear, and besides, everyone’s heart was set on having a good time.
They called their party the Sucker Festival. In a display of good-natured fun, people celebrated the fact that they’d been robbed, fooled. And now Sucker Day is an annual event in the town___ a good excuse to come together, to laugh and have fun.
We are going to be fooled sometimes, especially if we easily place our confidence in people. But we shouldn’t give up trusting just to avoid being cheated.
51. After Morrison ran away, the people in the town .
A. searched for him everywhere but in vain.
B. All became angry with him
C. were sorry for their lost money
D. celebrated although cheated
52. The purpose of the passage is to .
A. encourage us to turn disappointment into amusement
B. advise us to experience the spirit of Sucker Day
C. warn us to look out for cheats in life
D. give us some ideas of a different culture.
53. The author’s feeling to people in Wetumka cab be described as .
A. sympathetic B. appreciative C. doubtful D. disappointed
54. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Sucker Day B. A Clever Cheat
C. Poor Folks of Wetumka D. A Pleasant Surprise
B
If you don’t know what to wear to attend Chinese celebrations, something red is always the right choice on such an occasions. The red color is connected with good luck or fortune. The Chinese people enjoy decorating their house with something red. The bride wears red dress on her wedding, though probably influenced by the western customs she would wear white dress at the beginning of the celebration.
Unlike the meaning of red to anger, danger and bad temper in the west, such as the expressions like “a red rag to bull”, “see red”, “be in the red”, “red in tooth and claw”, etc. the red always carries positive meanings in China.
The next special color in the past is yellow, which is similar to the color of earth and soil. Since earth and soil are very important for people, yellow used to be the favorite color used by the king in China.
Another favorite color is green, which presents life and energy, while black and white are connected with death. Don’t wear a black dress to attend a wedding or a birth party. Wearing a white headdress shows someone in your home recently dies. Probably black is related to darkness. The Chinese like to refer to things illegally done “black”, for example, “black money” and “black market”. And “black heart” refers to someone really bad.
The meanings of colors are obvious in the costumes of traditional Chinese operas. Red shows loyalty(忠实) and courage; black represents honesty and fairness; yellow clothing means royalty(皇室成员) and white to purity.
55. The red color in the west probably represents .
A. luck and happiness B. anger and danger
C. justice and mixed emotions D. loyalty and courage
56.We can know from the passage that .
A. white has a positive meaning in Chinese opera
B. yellow used to be popular with the working people.
C. red was the main color used by emperors in China.
D. “black heart” means someone with black heart.
57. When we attend a birthday party in China, we should wear .
A. a black suit B. a white suit
C. a white headdress D. a red dress

Not many years ago, a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England. He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was seventy-five,he gave £12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s playground.
As a result of his kindness,many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk,Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be a hundred. The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy-five. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky and drank some each day. “I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening.”he told the newspaperman,thinking of his evening glass of whisky.
The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy-five and had a daily injection in his neck. Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain,asking him for the secret of his daily injection.

Of all systems of symbols,language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual (相互的) dependency, to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs,throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous system. We call that system of agreements language.
There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head,by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.
However obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connections. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature: foreigners have such funny names for things, and why can’t they call things by their right names?This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said: “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals,” they feel tha“ the symbol is inherently (内在地) connected in some way with the things symbolized.
67. Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings _______.
A. have made use of language for centuries
B. use our nervous system to support language
C. have made various noises stand for any events
D. can make anything stand for anything by agreement
68. What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?
A. Different noises may mean different things.
B. Our culture determines what a symbol stands for.
C. The language we use symbolizes our social positions.
D. Our social positions determine the way we are dressed.
69. In Paragraph 3, the underlined words “take special pains” probably mean“ “______”。
A. try v“ry hard B. take our time
C. are very unhappy D. feel especially painful
70. The example of the little boy is used to show that ____________.
A. adults often learn from their young
B. “pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirty
C. words are not connected with the things they stand for
D. people sometimes have wrong idea about how language works

答案:
答案及解析
1. On改为In。in the morning为固定搭配。
2. dry前加a。一般来讲, 三餐前不加任何冠词, 但当三餐前有形容词修饰时, 则必须在形容词前加不定冠词。如:We usually have
breakfast at eight. I have a wonderful breakfast this morning.
3. 第一个had后加been。根据逻辑, 此处应为被动语态。
4. after改为until。构成“not...until...”句型。
5. the改为a。have a break意为“休息一会儿”, 为固定搭配。
6. tired改为tiring。tired为形容词“劳累的”, 多用来修饰人; tiring也为形容词, 意为“令人劳累的”, 用来修饰事物。
7. 删去to。home为副词。
8. subject改为subjects。subject是可数名词。
9. 此行无错。
10.terribly改为terrible。系动词后要用形容词。
