第二部分 阅读理解 (共25小题。满分45分)
第一节 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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。(共20小题,每题2分,满分40分)A Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely eleven act of stealing or an even elev-ecer cheat (诈骗). Either way , it could be the perfect crime (犯罪), because the criminals are birds-horning pigeons !
The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car : if you want the car back, pay up then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside . Carrying the money in a tiny bag , the pigeon flies off .
There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however , may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind-one that avoid (避免)not only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place . Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has pulled a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return . Instead of stealing cars , he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an ad (启事) in the newspaper asking for help .
The theory is supported by the fact that , so far , none of the stolen cars have been returned . Also, the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars -seems too little for a car worth many times more .
Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal . "We have more important things to do, " he said .
41.After the car owner received a phone call. He
A.went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carried
B.gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a park
C.sent some money to the thief by mail
D.told the press about it
42.The "lazier and more inventive" criminal refers to .
A.the car thief who stays at home B.one of those who put the ads in the paper
C.one of the policemen in Changwa D.the owner of the pigeons
43.The writer mentions the fact that "none of the stolen cars have been returned" to show .
A.how easily people get fooled by criminals
B.what Chen thinks might be correct
C.the thief is extremely clever
D.the money paid is too little
44.The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to .
A.criminals B.pigeons C.the stolen cars D.demands for money
45.We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners because .
A.he reads the ads in the newspaper
B.he lives in the same neighborhood
C.he has seen the car owners in the park
D.he has trained the pigeons to follow them
BA letter to Edward, a columnist (报刊专栏作家)
Dear Mr. Edward
I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home. I always promised myself that I'd get out as soon as possible. Now, at the age of 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I'm really proud of the independence I've achieved.
Here's the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine-so much so that they make mine theirs.
It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.
I enjoy having my friends here sometimes-it makes the place feel comfortable and warm-but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can't I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy(隐私)? Joan Edward's reply to Joan
Dear Joan,
If your family didn't pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.
And if you've gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(气氛),you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with-or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it's Okay to put your own needs first from time to time.
Be clear about the message you want to send. For example,"I really love your company but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over."
Edward

A. lives away from her parents B. takes pride in her friends

47. We can infer from the first letter that .
A. Joan considers her friends more important than her privacy
B. Joan's friends visit her more often than she can accept
C. Joan doesn't like the parties at all
D. Joan dislikes the boyfriends her friends bring over
48. According to Edward, why can't Joan tell her friends her feelings?
A. She is afraid of hurting her friends.
B. She does not understand true friendship.
C. Her family experience stops her from doing so.
D. She does not put her needs first.
49.The underlined word "conflict" in the second letter means .
A. dependent life B. fierce fight C. bad manners D. painful feeling
50. The second letter suggests that Edward .
A. is worried about Joan's problem
B. warns Joan not to quarrel with her friends

C "The pen is more powerful than the sword." There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.
She was born in the U.S.A. in 1811.One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the enslaved race. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861,in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.
This book that shook the world was called "Uncle Tom's Cabin". There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse(唤起)people's sympathies(同情).The author herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the book, which they said did not at all represent(描述)true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired by it that they were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.

D. She had once been a slave.

C. We must understand the importance of literature(文学) and art.
D. No war can be won without such a book as Uncle Tom's Cabin".DDo you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration (注意力) is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results.
If so, use these tips to help you.
Study Techniques
* You should always study in the same place. You shouldn't sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Don't watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.
* Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees.
* Be realistic and don't try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.
Test-taking Skills
* All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.
* Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food too.
* When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.
56. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. You should study in a different place every day, so you don't get bored.
B. Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.
C. Check the time during the exam at a certain time.
D. Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.
57. What does the underlined word "it" refer to?
A. Your study desk or table. B. Your textbook.
C. Your dictionary. D. The equipment you need.
58. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. You shouldn't look at everyone else during the test.
B. You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet.
C. You'll concentrate more if there is nothing to distract you.
D. If you feel tired during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.
E
Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you'll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn't enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don't buy anything just because it's cheaper than usual! "New and Improved!" or "All Natural" on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients(contents) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don't spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren't very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.
59. What does the writer think about ads?
A. They are believable.
B. They are attractive.
C. They are full of misinformation.
D. They are helpful to consumers.
60. One of the author's suggestions to consumers is ____.
A. to make use of ads
B. not to buy items with words like "New and Improved" or "All Natural"
C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch
D. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands
