opportunity第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：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、d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。aproverbs are quite common in spoken english. we dont normally put them in a composition or a letter. sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. here are a few examples.1)“once bitten, twice shy.” if a dog bites me, i shall be twice as careful in future when i see it. this proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs. if you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go to the same shop again.2) “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” if i am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them. thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.3) “too many cooks spoil the broth (soup)”. when too many people do something, they get in each others way and do a bad job.4) “to pour oil on troubled waters” is to try to calm things down. oil is lighter than water. if a ship is in trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. the second ship can send small boats to rescue people. however, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.5) “dont be a dog in a manger(槽)”means“ dont be selfish.” in a stable (马房 ), the manger is the place where the horses food is put. sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food. the dog does not want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.6) “he is sitting on the fence” means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it. he is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win.7) “he who pays the piper calls the tune.” a piper is a musician. the man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the musician will play. thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say how it will be carried out.8) “you cant get blood out of a stone” means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want. e. g. you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man. 56. peter has a bicycle which is much too small for him but he does not want to let his younger brother ride on it. his mother is angry and says to him: _. a. you cant get blood out of a stone b. dont be a dog in a manger c. the early bird gets the worm d. to pour oil on troubled waters57. mr. wang paid for a new school. some people didnt like the design of the school but they didnt argue with mr. wang because _. a. he was sitting on the fence b. once bitten, twice shyc. he who pays the piper calls the tune d. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush58. mrs. lin wanted to buy a new dress. her husband suggested that she buy it from a shop near their home. mrs. lin disagreed because she had been cheated by that shop. so she said: “i wont go there again because _.”a. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bushb. i am sitting on the fencec. once bitten, twice shyd. too many cooks spoil the broth59. mr. brown had quite a good job in hong kong but he thought that if he went to singapore, he might get a much better job with more money and a larger house. his wife didnt want him to leave his job in hong kong and she reminded him that _. a. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bushb. too many cooks spoil the broth c. you cannot get blood out of a stone d. he who pays the piper calls the tuneb we always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby. then we are frustrated that the kids arent old enough and well be more content when they are. after that were frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. we will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.we always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse(配偶) gets his or her act together, when we get a nice car, and are able to go on a nice vacation and when we retire. the truth is, theres no better time than right now. if not now, when? our life will always be filled with challenges. its best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.one of my favorite quotes comes from alfred souza. he said, “for a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. but there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. then life would begin. at last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.” this perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. happiness is the way. so treasure every moment that you have.and remember that time waits for no one. so stop waiting until you finish school; until you go back to school; until you get married; until you get divorced; until you have kids; until you retire; until you get a new car or home; until spring; until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.happiness is a journey, not a destination. so, work like you dont need money, love like youve never been hurt, and dance like no ones watching.60. why do we always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby?a. because happy life is always in the future.b. because we dont realize treasuring every moment means happiness.c. because no one will be happy until he gets married.d. because only if we get to a destination, we can lead a happy life.61. what does the writer want to tell us?a. time and tide waits for no man, so treasure every moment.b. will is power, so do what you want to do.c. a thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed, so do not talk, just do it.d. so said, so done. so do what you said.62. according to the text, which of the following is correct?a. life is bound to become better as we expect.b. you should work because you really need money.c. you shouldnt dance while others are watching you.d. you should love as if you had not been hurt.cnow in a world piled high with smartphones，tablets and e-readers，technology has entered the classroom in ways unimaginable. taking classes can be fun too. all you have to do is swipe your fingers on your phone screen and download some apps, which can make your study more fun and efficient. balancing study and play in a college setting has never been easy-and with the following few apps, itll be tough to tell the two apart.evernoteuse: note-takingcan be used on: iphone/ ipad/ ipod touch, android, blackberry, palmos and windows phone 7price: freeits hard to imagine that with all the magical gadgets (小配件), the eager, studious types would still take out a notepad，a pencil，and a highlighter-and take notes in class. while its not an actual planner or calendar app，if you take notes to stay organized，then evernote is for you. the main thing about evernote is that all of your notes are automatically sent into the cloud(云储存平台上)-and then you can access them from any web-connected computer via the evernote app or a web browser. evernote also support audio and photo notes-rather handy if you want to record your lecture or take photos of any projected notes. but, of course, ask for permission first.wikipanionuse: research databasecan be used on: iphone/ ipad/ ipod touchprice: free（wikipanion plus for4. 99，or 31.87 yuan)now, you dont necessarily have to go to a library or anywhere with computer services to do research work for your paper anymore. you can get access to the research databases just on your smartphone or tablet. wikipanion gives you a simplified version of wikipedia without leaving out any of the sites extra features. the normal links that youd see to each section of an article are no longer on the main screen. instead, theres a small icon located at the bottom of the app, which can be used to access all the sections of an article. you can also open the links in safari(苹果浏览器). according to the developers site, loading wikipedia pages with wikipanion is a lot faster than accessing the wikipedia site from the iphones browsers. to be honest，we agree.conquering bilingual news listening in 7 daysuse: english learning applicationcan be used on: iphone/ ipad/ ipod touchprice: for a limited time you can get the app for only0. 99-half price.still
