That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors. It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years. People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead. 34. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _. A. want to be as rich as their neighbors B. want others to know or to think that they are richC. dont want others to know they are rich D. want to be happy35. It can be inferred (推断) from the story that rich people like to _. A. live outside New York City B. live in New York cityC. live in apartments D. have many neighbors36. Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is _. A. an important name B. a popular name in the United StatesC. his neighbors name D. not a good name37. According to the writer, it is _ to keep up with the Joneses. A. correct B. interesting C. impossible D. good CLake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa. It is also the second largest lake in the world. It is an important lake because it is one of the sources for the longest river in the world, the Nile River. Lake Victoria provides a source of water, food, and power for several African countries. Lake Victoria is a big part of African life.Unfortunately, Lake Victoria has a problem. It is shrinking. There are several power stations at Lake Victoria in Uganda. These are on the Nile River, and besides producing power, they keep the water of the lake at a certain level. For the past forty years, that level has been 11.9 meters. Over the last several years, the water level has dropped by about 2.5 meters. There seem to be several reasons for this drop.One possible reason is drought. Drought has been very bad in the area since 2000. Lake Victoria gets all of its water from rain, so the drought means less water in the lake. However, some environmentalists believe that the real problem is the power plants on Lake Victoria. Uganda depends on those power plants for most of its power, and they made the power plants larger in 2000. Many people believe the power plants have been taking too much water off Lake Victoria. As a result, they have been asked to use less water until Lake Victoria goes back to its old level.Whether the low water level is caused by drought or power plants, the result is the same. This is already a poor area of Africa, where many people live a really hard life. People, animals and plants around Lake Victoria will suffer even more from low water levels on the lake. Many people need Lake Victoria for fishing or growing food. Fish need the water to live, and animals need it for water. Plants around the lake will die without the water, and then more animals and people will suffer. Unless the lake fills soon, many people will suffer and die.38.Lake Victoria is _.A. an important lake in Africa B. the largest lake in the world C. the source of water, food and power for America D. the only source for the Nile River 39. What does “It is shrinking” most probably mean?A. It is becoming larger. B. It is becoming more beautiful. C. It is becoming smaller. D. It is becoming more useful. 40. The water level of Lake Victoria is now _.A2.5 meters B11.9 meters C14.4 meters D9.4 meters 41. According to the passage, how can we solve the problems around Lake Victoria?A. People must build more power plants. B. More sources of water must be found. C. Every country should offer some money to Africa. D. All the people living in the area should move to another place. DWhen Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesnt work out, youll have something to rely on. Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, The very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course, she recalls. The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring(忽视) her morn, I dont know how to use a computer, she admits. Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is planned for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as International chairman. I felt there was a need for a book like this, she says. I didnt want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when were self-controlled and do our part in fighting with the disease. But she hasnt always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up -again-and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she give up her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction(上瘾) to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet. Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. Everybody on earth can ask, why me? about something or other, she explains. It doesnt do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. Ive come to realize the importance of that as Ive grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.42. Why did Mary feel regretful? A. She didnt achieve her ambition. B. She didnt take care of her mother.C. She didnt complete her high school. D. She didnt follow her mothers advice. 43. We can know that before 1995， Mary A. had two books published B. received many career awardsC. knew how to use a computer D. supported the JDRF by writing 44. Marys second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her .A. living with diabetes B. successful show businessC. service for an organization D. remembrance of her mother 45. When Mary received the life-changing news, she . A. lost control of herself B. began a balanced diet C. Med to get a treatment D. behaved in an adult way 第三节 任务型阅读 (共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分) 阅读下面信息，请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E）中选出符合46-50题的选项。 I was a fourteen-year-old boy.
