第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分30分）
A
We are not rich by what we possess but
rather by what we can to without.
——Immauel Kant
Many times my friend June would say, “If I ever get rich, I’m
getting a completely new wardrobe （大衣柜）and moving into a bigger
apartment.” I thought of her words and her chances of being rich
are about as good as mine. But, to everyone’s surprise, a few years
ago June did come to large inheritance（遗产）.
At first June said very little about the money. As the initial
shock disappeared, she bacame excited, June is a great believer in
making lists, so I want surprised to find her writing down all the
ways she would spend her new wealth.
As time went on, she started revising the list. What had been
midway down the list was now at the top. At last, I said to her,
“You know, it isn’t necessary to spend all your inheritance at
once. Take come time; think about it.” “I know, I know,” she
answered with a little bit anger.
Then one morning June called, “I’ve decided how I want to use my
new inheritance. I want to see what you think,” she said. This
wasn’t something I looked forward to, but we had been friends so
long.
As we sat, June spread a sheet of paper on the table. To my great
surprise, she had written only two words: Charities, and
Grandchildren-in that order. Thought I had promised to keep quiet,
I couldn’t keep from asking how she came to this decision.
“Well,” she said, “I took your advice and thought about it.” She
added, “Helping others means a lot to me, so I’m hoping this gift
will help people in need.”
I interrupted, “But what about this big apartment you most hope to
have?”
“At first it was hard, but it doesn’t seem as important any more”,
she answered with a smile.
Then June moved her hand, and I could see a few words written in
tiny letters at the bottom of the page. After having a look at the
small print, I burst into laughter. June had written: AND one new
wardrobe.
56．From the passage we an learn that the writer at first
.
A．was richer than her friend June
B．was no richer than her friend June

writer

to it

To Whom It May Concern:
Your address was forwarded to us by Why Bother Magazine. All of us
here think The International Institute of Not Doing Much is the
best organization in the world. You know how to avoid unnecessary
activities!
We closely followed the advice in your article. First, we replaced
all our telephones with carrier pigeons. Simply removing the jingle
of telephones and replacing them with the pleasant sounds of birds
has had a remarkable effect on everyone. Besides, birds are cheaper
than telephone service. After all, we are a business. We have to
think of the bottom line. As a side benefit, the birds also
fertilize the lawn outside the new employee sauna（蒸气浴室）.
Next, we sold the computers off to Stab, Grab, Grit, and Nasty, a
firm of lawyers nearby. Our electricity bill went way down. Big
savings! The boss is impressed. We have completely embraced paper
technology. Now that we all use pencils, doodling is on the
increase, and the quality of pencilwomanship is impressive, as you
can tell from my handwriting in this letter. By the way, if you
can, please send this letter back to us. We can erase and reuse it.
Just tie it to Maggie’s leg and she’ll know where to take it.
Now it’s very calm and quiet here. You can notice the difference.
No more loud chatter on the telephones! All we hear is the
scratching of pencil on paper, the sound of pigeons, and the
delivery of inter-office correspondence by paper airplane.
Wonderful! I’ve always wanted to work for an insurance company ever
since I was a little girl. Now it’s perfect.
Sincerely yours,
Eleanor Lightly
Spokeswoman and Company Hair Stylist
ABC Activity Insurance: Insure against overdoing it

company?

technology.

company.

A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but
words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words
have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if
the words come from someone’s else or ourselves --- the positive
and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed
to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more
and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy
habit.
This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things,
solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as
much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay
positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves.
We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The
next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean
your room, join me in saying “Good job!”
Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the
effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause
certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to
a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange.
And the clear will probably respond in a similar manner. Or
harsh（刻薄的）and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to
be defensive.
Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us
regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to
us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving?
Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then
it’s better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us
receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope,
build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best. Negative
words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to
heal? The choice is ours.
63．The main idea of the first paragraph is that ________.
A．words have a lasting effect on us
B．inspiring words give us confidence
C．negative words may let us down
D．not sticks and stones but words will hurt us
64．There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to
ourselves because _______.
A．almost everybody has the habit of talking to
themselves
B．talking to ourselves always gives us courage
C．we can benefit from talking to ourselves
D．it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are
alone
65．The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should
also timely _______.
A．remind ourselves B．praise
ourselves
C．make ourselves relaxed D．give ourselves
amusement
66．The author would probably hold the view that ___________.
A．encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers
B．negative words may stimulate us to make more
progress
C．people tend to remember friendly words
D．it is better to think twice before talking to others

No budget for your vacation? Try home exchanges – swapping houses
with strangers. Agree to use each other’s cars, and you can save
dollars on car rentals (租赁费), too.
Home exchanges are not new. At least one group, Intervac, has been
facilitating such an arrangement since 1953. But trading online is
gaining popularity these days, with several sites in operation,
including HomeExchanges. Founded in 1992, with some 28,000
listings, this company bills itself as the world’s largest home
exchange club, reporting that membership has increased 30% this
year.
The annual fee is usually less than US$100. Members can access
thousands of listings for apartments, villas, suburban homes and
farms around the world. Initial contact is made via e-mail, with
subsequent communication usually by phone. Before a match is made,
potential swappers tend to discuss a lot.
However, the concept may sound risky to some people. What about
theft? Damage? These are reasonable causes for concern, but equally
unlikely. As one swapper puts it, “Nobody is going to fly across
the ocean or drive 600 miles to come steal your TV. Besides, at the
same time they’re staying in your home, you are staying in their
home.”
Exchange sites recommend that swappers discuss such matters ahead
of time. They may fill out an agreement spelling out who shoulders
which responsibilities if a problem arises. It does not matter if
the agreement would hold up in court, but it does give the
exchangers a little satisfaction.
Generally, the biggest complaint among home exchangers has to do
with different standards of cleanliness. Swappers are supposed to
make sure their home is in order before they depart, but one
person’s idea of “clean” may be more forgiving than another’s. Some
owners say if they come back to a less-than-sparkling kitchen, it
may be inconvenient but would not sour them on future
exchanges.
67．What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．How to exchange homes.
B．How home exchange is becoming popular.
C．The biggest home exchange agency Intervac.
D．A contrast between Intervac and HomeExchanges.
68．Which of the following is closest in meaning to “bills” in the
second paragraph?
A．advertises B．dedicates C．replaces
D．participates
69．How do home exchangers normally begin their communication?
A．By phone. B．By e-mail.
C．Via a matchmaker. D．Via a face-to-face
meeting.
70．What is recommended in the passage to deal with theft and damage
concerns?
A．One can file a lawsuit in court.
B．Both parties can trade online.
C．Both parties can sign an agreement beforehand.
D．One can damage the home of the other party in
return.

阅读下列短文并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词，每空格1词（共10个小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
New discoveries suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along
the Silk Road probably began many centuries earlier than once
thought. The findings add a fascinating new page to the epic（史诗）of
the Silk Road, which spread far and wide in no time.
The latest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in
the hair of an Egyptian mummy from about l,000 BC, long before
regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years
before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt. Other
research may extend human activity along this route back even
further, perhaps a million years to the moving of human ancestors
into eastern Asia.
The official origin of East-West trade along the road is usually
placed in the late 2nct century BC when an agent of the Chinese
Emperor Wu-di returned from a dangerous secret mission（使命）across
the desert into the remote high country of Central Asia. The agent,
Zhang Qian, traveled as far as Afghanistan and brought back
knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia, Syria and a
place known as Lijien, perhaps Rome. Historians have called this
one of the most important journeys in ancient times. His journey
opened the way for what have been thought to be the first indirect
contacts between the ancient world's two superpowers, China and
Rome. Chinese silk, first traded to Central Asia for war horses,
was soon finding its way to the markets of Rome through a network
of businessmen.
But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk apparently existed
in the West long before the Han emperor started organized trade
over the Silk Road. The research could change thinking about the
early history of world trade and provide insights（了解）into the
mystery of just how and when Europe first realized the glorious
culture at the other end of Eurasia.
