joyful第三部分： 阅读理解 （共20小题； 每小题2分，满分40分）a when christopher columbus landed on the then unnamed costa rica in 1502, he saw many indians wearing gold earrings. so he thought the land must be rich in gold. he named the place costa rica, which means “rich coast” in spanish.though little gold was found, costa rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. coffee is the most important product in costa rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like america and west germany. bananas are the countrys second most important export.costa ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. costa ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors. education is very important to the costa ricans. almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. classes begin in march and end in november. the other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.56. whats the main idea of the first paragraph?a. how columbus found costa rica.b. how costa rica got its name.c. what

many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri. he was going there to try and find a cure.at first, eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. he raised some chickens. he didnt eat them, but made experiments on them. the local people were quite surprised at that. one day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most javanese ate refined white rice (精炼米). when he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery that some things in food could prevent disease. these things were named vitamins (维生素). the javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a persons food. today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. if they dont, they can also take vitamin pills.61. the underlined word “cure” in paragragh 1 probably means _.a. a medical treatment b. a kind of vitaminc. a kind of germ d. a kind of rice62. christian eijkman went to the island of java to _.a. spend his holidayb. find ways to grow better crops c. do some research about the islandd. help the javanese with their illness63. why did christian eijkman raise some chickens?a. to eat them. b. to carry out his experiments.c. to give the javanese a surprise. d. to make money by selling them.64. if a person doesnt get enough vitamins in his diet, hed better _.a. eat more rice b. eat more meatc. eat some chicken d. eat vitamin pills65. we can learn from the passage that _.a. beri-beri was caused by chickensb. the javanese didnt like vitaminsc. christian eijkmans experiment was successfuld. the javaneses disease was caused by a kind of germc america is a mobile society. friendships between americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. neither side feels hurt by this. both may exchange christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while then no more. if the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. this can be quite difficult for us chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. they will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.another difficult point for us chinese to understand americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. this is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. we may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. the americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. they will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. and they expect that we will phone them from there. once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. we will find ourselves treated hospitably.for the americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. so accept their hospitality at home!66. the writer of this passage must be _.a. an american b. a chinese c. a professor d. a student67. which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a. friendships between americans usually extend deeply into their families.b. friendships between americans usually last for all their lives.c. americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.d. americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.68. from the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in america to visit an american friend, we will probably be _.a. warmly welcomed at the airport b. offered a ride to his homec. treated hospitably at his home d. treated to dinner in a restaurant69. the underlined words “generous with our time” in paragraph 3 probably mean _. a. strict with time b. serious with timec. careful with time d. willing to spend time70. a suitable title for this passage would probably be “_”. a. friendships between chinese b. friendships between americansc. americans hospitality d. americans and chineses views of friendshipsd the other day i heard a few local musicians talking:“i hate all the terrible pianos in this town. i hate that rubbish they play on the radio. they cant even understand a bit of music.”“im never playing in that club again. too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”but, one younger musician said, “there are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and im trying to find other places to play. im also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”ive heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.attitudes are important. whether theyre positive or negative, theyre rubbing off on you. if youre around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. so its time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.this is an easy exercise: make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. set a new standard (标准) for yourself and dont become friends with people who fall below that standard.keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. ask them how they do it. ask if they will help you get the work youre looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.71. which of the following would be the best title for this passage?a. a friend in need is a friend indeedb. how to make friendship last for everc. you are who your friends ared. friends are the most important in ones success72. the underlined sentence “theyre rubbing off on you” in paragraph 6 means _.a. theyll push you aheadb. theyll influence you c. theyll cover your shortcomingsd. theyll help you achieve your goal73. the musicians words at the beginning are written mainly to show _.a. the musicians living conditions are quite poorb. people have poor taste in musicc. people have different attitudes towards the same thingd. young people have greater chances of succeeding74. by taking the exercise mentioned in paragraph 7, you can _.a. improve a lot in making more friendsb. come to the right way of making friends c. develop a better relationship with your friendsd. arrange the time with your friends properly75. the passage is mainly written for _.a. music
