amazing第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分,满分40分）第一节 （共15题；每小题2分,满分30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。ait was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before christmas. while most people were warming up their cars, trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. on arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. after putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. the bike, a black kona 18 speed, was our only transport. trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. and the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. i was so sad that someone would steal our bike that i wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. one wonderful stranger even bought a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. it really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. people say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. this experience has had a spreading effect on our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity. and it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. no matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. and the results can be everlasting. 56. why was the bike so important to the couple?a. the mans job was bike racing.b. it was their only possession.c. they used it for work and daily life. d. it was a nice kona 18 speed. 57. we can infer from the text that _.a. the couple worked 60 hours a week.b. people were busy before christmasc. the stranger brought over the bike d. life was hard for the young family.58. how did people get to know the couples problem?a. from radio broadcasts. b. from a newspaper. c. from tv news. d. from a stranger.59. what do the couple learn from their experience?a. strangers are usually of little help.b. one should take care of their bike.c. news reports make people famous.d. an act of kindness can mean a lot. beducation is not an end, but a means to an end. in other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. our purpose is to fit them for life.in some modern countries, it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. but we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in some countries where a far larger number of people with university degree; however, they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. but we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. if no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.in fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit ourselves for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of ones work. only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society. 60. the writer of the passage thinks that_.a. education can settle the worlds problems b. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world. c. free education wont help to solve problems d. not all the social problems can be solved by education61. the writer wants to prove that_. a. our society needs all kinds of jobs b. our society needs free education for all c. work with hands is the most important d. a farmer is more important than a professor.62. the purpose of education is _.a. to get more educated physical laborersb. to prepare children for the future workc. to let everyone have suitable educationd. to build a perfect world for all the peoplectwo more cases of h7n9 bird flu virus have been detected in zhejiang province, including a man who died last week, authorities said on wednesday.the chinese center for disease control and prevention confirmed that a 38-year-old patient surnamed hong from hangzhou, the provincial capital, who died in hospital on march 27, had the virus.hong was infected on march 7 while working in neighboring jiangsu province. he returned home on march 18, according to the zhejiang health department.the other patient, surnamed yang, is a 67-year-old man. he developed a cough and fever on march 25 and was admitted to hospital on tuesday.none of the people who came into close contact with the patients have developed symptoms of the flu, the health department said.on sunday, two men in shanghai died from h7n9. a woman in anhui province and four men in jiangsu province remain in critical condition, which makes a large number of people scared to death.all patients had fevers and coughs in the early stages before developing pneumonia(肺炎) and breathing difficulties, chinas health authorities said.experts say genetic analysis shows that the h7n9 virus can be treated with tamiflu, an antiviral drug that may slow the spread of influenza（流感） in the body.wang xianjun, head of the shandong provincial center of disease control, said h7n9 is sensitive to neuraminidase-inhibiting medicine such as tamiflu, qilu evening news reported on wednesday.there are no effective vaccines(疫苗) for h7n9 as yet, wang said, but using tamiflu may be effective in the early stages.63. according to this passage, the most cases of h7n9 bird flu virus have been detected in _.a. zhejiang provinceb. anhui province c. shanghai d. jiangsu province64. from the whole passage we can learn that_.a. two men in shanghai and a woman in zhejiang province died from h7n9.b. the h7n9 virus can be cured with an antiviral drug called tamiflu.c. all the patients infected with h7n9 had fevers and coughs in the early stages.d. only one patient has died from h7n9 in anhui. 65. the underlined word in the sentence “four men in jiangsu province remain in critical condition” may be close to _ in meaning. a. very serious and dangerous b. extremely important c. quite healthy d. not serious or dangerous66. the passage is mainly about _.a. the medicine for h7n9b. the spread of h7n9 and an antiviral drugc. the number of patients who died from h7n9d. people who came into close contact with the patients of h7n9dfor centuries, the bodys blood has been linked closely with the emotions. people who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer. for example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. he seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someones life as nothing.cold can affect other parts of the body. the expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet. the expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. for example, you agree to be president of an organizationbut then you learn that all the other officers have resigned (辞职), and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility. you are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.the expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. you may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. or, to someone who has lied about you to others.a cold fish is not a fishit is a person. but it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmtha cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy(同情). several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers. out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else got. a person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise-he was left out in the cold. and it is not a pleasant place to be.67. there are _ expressions related to cold that are mentioned in the passage. a.6 b.4c.3d.768. when you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by “_”.a. i think he is a cold fishb. i think he is a cold-blooded manc. i give him the cold shoulder d.

passage is about _. a. the relationship between cold and our body b. some expressions connected with coldc. some expressions about friendship d. how cold weather comes into being第二节
