1、 阅读理解Section A Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question, there are four
choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should choose the best answer. Passage One Mrs. Peters stopped playing the piano when she began to work. She
had lived in a very small flat, and there had been no room for a piano. But when she married, she had a new flat which was big enough for one. So she
decided to get one and her husband agreed and helped her. She saved some money, and her parents gave her a generous amount of money for her
birthday. Then she went to a shop and said, “I’ll choose whichever piano does not coast too much and fits into my living room.” When she had paid for
the piano, the shop assistant asked her if she would like him to get it tuned every few months. Mrs. Peters agreed. A few months later she heard from the
shop that a man was coming to tune the piano at ten that morning. Now she had not cleaned the house yet, so it was dusty and untidy. Mrs. Peters hated
having even the least amount of dirty, and felt ashamed whenever strange people saw her house like that. So she had to hurry to clean everything
carefully. It meant a lot of effort, and it made her hot and tired, but anyhow, by the time the man arrived, everything was finished. She opened the door,
and the man was standing there with a big dog. “Good morning,” the man said politely, “will it disturb you if I bring a dog in, please? I am blind, and he
leads me wherever I go.” 31. Mrs. Peters stopped playing the piano [ 2 分 ]

6、 Passage Two Although our educational system and our society generally place a high value on competition, some problems can be better solved through cooperation and some forms of learning are strengthened through cooperation. Both competition and cooperation have a place in society and can serve a useful purpose. Consequently, it is necessary to be able to engage in both processes depending on the circumstances and one’s goals. In the academic environment grades are often conceived as the major criterion (标准) for the assessment of learning. We tend to assume that the higher one’s grade average, the more one has learned, thus creating greater competition for grades. This competition can be particularly intense in fields where the financial rewards are great and opportunity is limited: law, engineering, medicine, and business. However the measure of one’s learning is not limited to grades. It is possible to learn a great deal about a subject and receive a low grade or even no grade in the evaluation. No grade can be used to define what we learn about ourselves when we from sharing what we know with others. And no one can give us a grade for how we feel about ourselves and about our relationships with others. 36. The first paragraph mainly tells us that in learning _______. [ 2 分 ] A. competition and cooperation are related B. cooperation is more important C. cooperation and competition are both needed D. competition is more important
7、 What is the main idea of the second paragraph? [ 2 分 ] A. The higher one’s grade average, the more one has learned. B. Our education system encourages competition for higher grades. C. Grades are regarded as the criterion to evaluate students’ performances. D. Competition for financial rewards is more intense in some fields than in others.
8、 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the last paragraph? [ 2 分 ] A. Grades can only be used to measure one’s academic work. B. Grades are not good assessment of one’s learning. C. One’s learning is less measurable with grades than other things. D. Grades cannot measure everything one has learned.
9、 What does the author emphasize in this passage? [ 2 分 ] A. Cooperation B. Competition C. Evaluation D. Teaching process
10、 The word “conceived” (Sentence 1, Paragraph 2) can be best replaced by _______. [ 2 分 ] A. called B. described C. known D. viewed
11、 Passage Three Visitors exploring one of Britain’s many historic buildings might expect to see beautiful objects and learn more about history. What they won’t expect is to meet one of the former residents, and to be able to talk to them about their life and times. But, don’t worry. Although many old buildings are said to be frequently visited by ghosts(幽灵), these people are not ghosts at all. All across Britain historic sites will be brought to life by real people. They will be dressed in period costumes (clothes worn in an earlier time in history) and will recreate life as it was once lived at different times during Britain’s history. Activities like these are called “living history”, and have become increasingly popular in recent years.
