was attacked by three men. the attack was on a 41 which was quite full, and 42 the man tried to get the other passengers to help, they all 43 . this is not only a french problem. a british newspaper

sometime第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。（a）when i was small and my grandmother died, i couldnt understand why i had no tears. but that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying. so it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to show that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.besides, tears attract help from other people. researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we dont even know we re very sad until we cry. we learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.just as crying can be healthy, not crying holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering can be bad for physical (身体的) health. studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. if you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. but when you feel like crying, dont fight it. its a natural and healthy emotional response (反应).56. why didnt the author cry when her grandmother died?a. because her father did not ask her to feel too sad.b. because she did not love her grandmother.c. because she was too shy to cry at that time.d. tie author doesnt give the explanation.57. it can be inferred from the text that _.a. there are two ways to keep healthyb. crying does more good to health than laughingc. crying and laughing play the same rolesd. emotional health has a close relationship to physical health58. according to the author, which of the following statements is true?a. crying is the best way to get help from others.b. fighting back tears may cause some health problems.c. we will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.d. we must cry if we want to reduce pressure.(b)it is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the world of nature a balance exists between all forms of life. no living thing can exist by itself. it is part of a system in which all forms of life are joined together. if we change one part of the nature order, this will almost certainly bring about changes in some other part.the cutting of forests reduced the supply of oxygen. the killing of weeds and insects by chemicals led to the wide-spread poisoning of animals and birds. the throwing of waste products into the ocean hurt life in the sea, while waste gases changed the chemical balance of the atmosphere and shut out some of the suns necessary life-giving rays.and so we could go on adding more examples until in despair(绝望) we might feel like giving up the struggle to control these harmful human activities. man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate needs, but he is not so clever at looking far ahead, or at thinking about what the future results of his action might be. man may well destroy himself because of his silly action.59.the first paragraph tells us that _.a. all living things in nature depend on each otherb. everything in nature cant exist without the help of manc. man has known the importance of the balance of nature for a long timed. no living thing can live naturally60.in the second paragraph the examples given are used to prove that _.a. all forms of life belong to a system in which all the parts can be changed for one anotherb. it is only during the last few years that man has generally known the balance of naturec. there are some living things which can exist by themselves without changed. we cant change one form of life without destroying the balance of nature61.the last paragraph suggests that in order to get his immediate benefits(利益) _.a. man is always anxious to control his activities within limitsb. man is always too eager in planning for distant futurec. man often fails to think about their future results of his actiond. man often feels that he will have to give up in despair62which of the following is true according to the passage?a. cutting down woods does little harm to human beings.b. man has to pay much more attention to the future results of his present action.c. oxygen comes from forests.d. the passage tells us to try our best to get as much as possible immediately.(c)if europeans thought a drought（干旱）was something that happened only in africa, they know better now. after four years of below-normal rainfall (in some cases only 10 percent of the average), large areas of france, spain, portugal, belgium, britain and ireland are dry and barren. water is so low in the canals of northern france that waterway traffic is forbidden except on weekends. oyster（牡蛎）growers in brittany report a 30 percent drop in production because of the loss of fresh water in local rivers necessary for oyster breeding. in southeastern england, the rolling green hills of kent have turned so brown that officials have been weighing plans to pipe in water from wales. in portugal, farmers in the southern alentejo region have held prayer meetings for rainso far, fruitless.governments in drought-hit countries are taking several measures. authorities in hard-hit areas of france have banned washing cars and watering lawns. in britain, water will soon be metered, like gas and electricity. “the english have always taken water for granted,” says graham warren, a spokesman of britains national rivers authority. “now theyre putting a price on it.” even a sudden end to the drought would not end the misery in some areas. it will take several years of unusually heavy winter rain, the experts say, just to bring existing water reserves up to their normal levels.63. what does the author mean by saying “they know better now?” a. they know more about the causes of the drought. b. they have a better understanding of the drought in africa. c. they have realized that only the drought in europe is the most serious one. d. they have realized that droughts hit only europe.64. the drought in europe has brought about all the following problems except _. a. below-normal rainfall b. difficult navigation c. a sharp drop in oyster harvest d. more death of people65. the british government intends to _. a. forbid the car-washing service b. increase the price of the water used c. end the misery caused by the drought d. charge fees for the use of water66. which of the following statements is true according to the passage? a. germany is the only country free from the drought. b. water reserves are at their lower level in years due to the drought. c. the drought is more serious in britain than in france. d. europe will not have heavy rain until several years later.67. which of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage? a. europe in misery b. drought attacks europe c. use lesse. europe, a would-be africa(d)at one time no one could travel on an english road faster than four miles an hour. that was the law until 1896. a man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. at night the man had to carry a red lamp.once charles rolls brought a car from france to england ,but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour .in order to have no trouble with the police ,he had a talk with some of the police officers ,who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. this was a good plan in the country ,but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of london.one night rolls and some friends started from london on their journey to cambridge. one of the men walked in front with the red lamp , but he walked as fast as he could .the police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car ,and not one of them saw it .they reached a hill ;but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! rolls was getting ready to jump into the car; but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. the slow car reached him.“good evening,” said the policeman ,looking at the car.“good evening,” said rolls ,holding the lamp.“one of these horseless things,” said the policeman ,looking at it with interest.“yes,” said rolls, and waited.“ive often wanted a ride in one ; but of course policemen cant buy things like that.” he turned and looked hopefully in rollss face.“jump in ,” said rolls.“thanks ,” said the policeman ,and did so . “now ,”he said ,sitting down, “you can let it go just as you like down this hill. there isnt another policeman on this road for a mile and a half.”68. the policemen were told “to look the other way” (the underlined part in paragraph 2) so that .athey could watch the car coming from the other directionbthe car could go faster than four miles an hourcthey could make sure no one was in the waydthe car would not hit them on the road69. in what way did the policemen carry out the order from their officers?athey greeted rolls when the car came along.bthey w
