Happy第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，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和D）中，选出最佳选项。A William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. His childhood lacked the harmony(和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited(继承) excellent taste in art from his family-both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama(戏剧) and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didnt lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama. Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition. He had not enjoyed a major public lift since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats death in 1939, W.H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines: Earth, receive an honored guest: William Yeats is laid to rest. Let the Irish vessel(船) lie. Emptied of his poetry.56. Which of the following can describe Yeats family?A. It filled Yeats childhood with laughter. B. It was shocked by Yeats choice.C. It was a typically wealthy family. D. It had an artistic atmosphere.57. According to the passage, what do we know about Yeats life?A. Yeats founded the first Irish theatre.B. Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.C. Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.D. Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Nobel Prize.58. What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Audens lines?A. Envy B. Sympathy C. Emptiness D. Admiration59. What is the passage mainly about?A. Yeats literary achievements. B. Yeats historical influence.C. Yeats artistic ambition(雄心). D. Yeats national honor.BEarthquakes strike suddenly at any time of the day or night, but theres no way to tell them. If an earthquake happens, it may cause many deaths and injuries and great damage. Decide how and where your family will get together if separated. Choose an out-of-state friend or relative that the family members can call after the quake to report where they are and how they are. Know the safe place in each room: under the strong tables, desks, or against inside walls. Keep enough food, water and other things, including a flashlight, a radio, medicines and clothing. During the earthquake, you should keep a clear head and never be too nervous to know what to do. Protect your head and neck with your arms. If possible, take a book, a pillow or any other things to protect yourself from falling glass and ruins. If you are indoors, you must immediately lie under any strong furniture. If outdoors, move to an open area away from trees, buildings, walls and power poles. If you are in a narrow valley, move to the centre of it and look out for falling stones. If you are in a car, move to the side of the road and stop the car. Do not stop near buildings, power lines or under bridges. Stay in your car until the shaking stops.60.

We lived on a small farm and it was very difficult for us to know what was happening outside the small farm, especially in the winter when we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its own problems, too. One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basic needs like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from a disease that makes breathing very difficult and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside as I like, even in the summer. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you taste in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety (多样性) of goods is very surprisingand, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.67. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child? A. Staying on the farm. B. Moving to the countryside. C. Leaving home for the city. D. Running away from the school.68. What can we learn from the text? A. The writer is very old now. B. The writer is in good health. C. The write prefers driving a car. D. The writer lives in the city now.69. In the passage, the writer tries to _. A. express his opinions about way of lifeB. describe his life in the countryside C. show an interest in the outside world D. persuade the reader to live in the city70. How is the passage mainly developed? A. By questioning. B. By comparing.C. By listing examples. D. By giving explanations.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳的选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. 71 First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. 72 The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealM. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station. Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding. 73 Here is some of the advice I give to my students: Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything. Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times. Do not translate everything into your native language. 74 Dont concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas. Listen to something you enjoy. I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didnt understand a word. I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in conf
