第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

Thousands of people began pouring into Pennsylvania from other states.They wanted to buy lottery tickets(彩票).The tickets cost only $0.9 each.But that small spending could bring them a reward of $90 million.That was the second largest lottery jackpot(积累奖金) in history.

More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing.Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80.The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million, but that little chance certainly didn’t affect ticket sales.In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were selling at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second.

Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action.Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people.It allows them to dream about wealth they’ll probably never have.

But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized(合法化的) gambling.Some critics note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets.There are also many addicts who take the game seriously.They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets.Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.

Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes.The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens.But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice(恶习), under the name of social progress.No matter whether you regard state lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans.

56.The main idea of the passage is that ______.

A.lotteries are of great benefit to everyone who buys them

B.playing a lottery is just like investing in the stock market

C.many people buy lottery tickets, but lotteries cause disagreement

D.lotteries are nothing but legalized vice

57.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Politicians like lotteries because they don’t have to pay extra taxes.

B.The popularity of lotteries in America actually is social progress.

C.Some critics don’t like lotteries because many poor people waste money on them.

D.People love the lottery because it is a stock market.

58.In just one hour in the last few days, the Pennsylvania lottery sold tickets totaling ______.

A.$1.62 million    B.$1.82 million

C.$9.6 million    D.$87 million

59.People who are addicted to playing lotteries should ______.

A.join a support group   B.kick the habit

C.win the lottery    D.save every cent

B

Before discussing different kinds of emotions, let us briefly talk about how researchers measure bodily processes and action or behavior, and how this relates to what we do in our daily lives when we observe emotions in others.

Bodily processes can be directly measured by means of a polygraph.When a polygrap is skillfully used to compare how we react bodily with what we are saying, it is called a “lie detector”.Bodily processes can also be measured indirectly.This is what we do when we observe someone blushing (脸红).However, we are not always aware of what bodily processes respond to.

Measuring action or behavior is the other way researchers assess the emotions.For example, one measure of fear of snakes is how close a person will go to the snake.Another procedure is to have a person tell how afraid he is, or how he feels.In this way, researchers have developed the so-called “fear thermometer” to assess a person’s fear.In our everyday living, we do very much the same thing.Only not too systematically, we react to what a person does, what he says, how he says it, and how he looks.Is he smiling? Is his voice trembling? We put all this observations together to infer what a person is feeling.

However, we do not always act as we feel.Sometimes we do things that we don’t feel like doing.Sometimes we say we feel one way and then we act another.Actors, for example, successfully learn to “make believe” emotions, or learn to hide them.Thus we cannot always tell what a person is feeling by what he says or by what he does.

60.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.We can never tell what a person is feeling.

B.The “fear thermometer” is a way to measure how fearful a person is.

C.Researchers can assess the emotions in some ways.

D.People do not always know what bodily processes they respond to.

61.The underlined word “assess” in the 3rd paragraph is close in meaning to ______.

A.make    B.measure

C.discuss    D.develop

62.The writer uses the example of actors in order to argue that ______.

A.it is rather easy to become successful actors

B.people do not always act as they feel

C.we can never believe what other people say

D.actors are always telling lies

63.The passage is mainly about ______.

A.the way of assessing the emotion

B.the usefulness of a “lie detector”

C.the functioning of different emotions

D.the development of the “fear thermometer”

C

When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories.It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from.It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.

Certainly, most of the world’s great religions (宗教) order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves.But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally (道德方面) right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea.Quite a few people will not give to beggars.Let us look at their arguments.

First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging.Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行).Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs.Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging.One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.

Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people.Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently.A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take sway the moral goodness of the giver.

64.What is mainly discussed in the passage?

A.Moral deeds of people.

B.Religious activities of the church.

C.Moral goodness of the giver.

D.Arguments on giving to beggars.

65.What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed ?” in the second paragraph?

A.People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.

B.Some people will not do what was morally right in the past .

C.We don’t meet with those who need help any more.

D.Now it is the government’s duty to help the beggars.

66.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A.Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.

B.Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.

C.Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.

D.Some beggars have no excuse for begging.

67.In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because       .

A.the cases can be so different  B.there are so many beggars

C.there is so much money wasted  D.there are so many different arguments

D

Once upon a time two brothers who lived on neighboring farms fell into conflict(对抗).It was the first serious one in 40 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed.

Then the long cooperation fell apart.It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.

One morning there was a knock on John’ door.He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s toolbox.“I’m looking for a few days’ work,” he said.“Could I help you?”“Yes,” said the older brother.“I do have a job for you.Look across the creek(河沟) at that farm.That’s my neighbor, in fact, it’s my younger brother.Last week there was a meadow(草地) between us and he took his bulldozer(推土机) to the levee(堤) and now there is a creek between us.Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I’ll go him one better.I want you to build me a fence—an 8-foot fence —so I won’t need to see his place anymore.Cool him down, anyhow.”

The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation.I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”

The older brother had to go to town for supplies, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day.

The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing.

About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job.The farmer’s eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped.

There was no fence there at all.It was a bridge— a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work— and his younger brother was coming across, his hand outstretched.

“You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I’ve said and done.”

The brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hand.They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder.“No, wait! Stay a few days.I’ve a lot of other projects for you,” said the older brother.

“I’d love to stay on,” the carpenter said, “but, I have so many more bridges to build.”

72.What was life like for the two brothers before the conflict?

A.They lived a poor, miserable life.

B.They were friendly neighbors, helping each other.

C.They never spoke to each other.

D.They lived together as one family.

73.Which of the following best describes the carpenter?

A.He was skilled but dishonest.

B.He was hardworking but unskilled.

C.He was clever, hardworking, but cold hearted.

D.He was clever, helpful and skilled.

74.The best title for this passage is ________.

75.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
