第四节:阅读理解(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A.B.C和D)中,选出最佳选项 . A

Lillian Hanson, a college student, e_pects to graduate in

about two years. What makes Mrs. Hanson different from her classmates is her

age----73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.

When Lillian Hanson

graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn’t think that a country

girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Lillian Hanson went home and

raised a family of nine children instead of going to college. Mrs Hanson never

forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown,

she tried again.

She finds that it is

the hardest part of going back to school at her age to sit in class for long

periods of time. Because she is not as quick as she used to be, Mrs. Hanson often gets up and walks around classes to keep from getting stiff(不灵活). At the beginning of a course in using the computer,

the other students all stood up to give her a warm welcome when she introduced

herself and e_plained why she was there and what her aims were.

41. Mrs. Hanson couldn’t go to college immediately after she graduated from

high school because _____.

A. she hadn’t got enough money

B. she was a country girl

C. the banker ordered her not to borrow any money

D. the banker thought she should raise a family of nine children

42. The computer students welcomed Mrs. Hanson warmly because ______.

A. she had got an e_cellent result in the e_am

B. she was good at telling funny stories

C. they wanted to get her help in their studies

D. they were deeply moved by her spirit

43. Mrs. Hanson is the sort of person who ________.

A. cares for study very much B. likes to borrow money from the bank

C. never misses a chance to talk D. tries to save any money for her family

44. In which order did Mrs. Hanson do the following things?

a. she began her studies at college.

b. She finished high school.

c. She got married and gave birth of nine children.

d. She had her 73 rd birthday.

e. She went to the bank to borrow money.

A. a c b e d B. b e c a d C. b c e d a D. e d a c b

B Every kid

wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave

childhood behind. They become ;kidults; (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.

Some kidults

collect toys they once played with.

Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.

Other kidults

still enjoy children’s stories and fairy tales. For e_ample, Bloomsbury even

published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on

the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s book! ;Kidults

can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to

pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society,; said

Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult

culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right. Tim

Greenhalgh, a professor, e_plained that some kidults just refuse to grow up.

They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them.

Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.

45. We can infer from the article that _________. A. Kidults

miss their childhood so much that they can’t give up their toys

B. Bloomsbury

knows some kidults don’t want people to know that they are kidults C. Kidults

like to have vitamins very much

D. Some toys

are so interesting that even adults like them very much

46. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way

e_cept that _______. A. it can

improve the relationship between parents and their kids B. it can

help kidults feel rela_ed

C. it is helpful

to solve some social problems D. it can

make people loyal to one’s parents

47. According to the writer, _______. A. being a

kidult is nothing wrong B. kidults have mental problems C. our

society is very dull D. some people can never grow up C

Dear Carol,

I wear braces (牙箍) and I know I look just terrible

in them. Is there anything I can do to improve my appearance until they come off?

Connie N.

Philadelphia, PA

Dear Connie,

Start by thinking about how good you are

going to look when your braces come off. If you are negative about your appearance, people will pick that up right away about you. In the meantime there are several things that you can do to lift your spirits: l

Change your hairstyle. Be sure to get a good cut so that the shape of your hair will be flattering to your face and also good for your type of

hair (fine, thick, straight, curly, etc.) Choose a hairstyle that draws attention away from your face. Hair pulled back into a pony-tail or into a ball

on top or slightly off-center can be attractive and practical for this purpose.

l

Keep skin clean. If you choose to wear makeup, it should look

natural. Blusher and lip gloss in light tones of peach or pink are best. l

Be well-groomed. Neatness really counts. People see a total

look about you before they ever become aware of your braces. And first impressions are lasting ones!

48. Why did Connie write to Carol? A.

Because she really care about her clothes. B.

Because she cared much about her appearance. C.

Because her teeth were not good. D.

Because she didn’t know how to make up.

49. Carol tries to let Connie know that _______. A.

spirits are important when we talk about one’s appearance B.

the deepest impressions one leaves on others is the first ones C.

there are some practical ways to draw people’s attention away from where you don’t feel good D.

all of the above
