C
On a BA flight from Johannesburg, a middle-aged, well-off white South African Lady has found herself sitting next to a black man. She called a stewardess (女乘务员) over to complain about her seating.
“What seems to be the problem, Madam?” asked the stewardess. “Can’t you see?” she said, “You’ve sat me next to a kafir(异教徒). I can’t possibly sit next to this disgusting man. Find me another seat!” “Please calm down, Madam,” the stewardess replied. “The flight is very full today, but I’ll tell you what I’ll do — I’ll go and check to see if we have any seats available in club or first class.”
The woman cocked a snooty look at the black man beside her.
A few minutes later the stewardess returned with the good news, which she delivered to the lady, who could not help but look at the people around her with a smug and self-satisfied grin. “Madam, unfortunately, as I suspected, economy is full. I’ve spoken to the cabin services director, and club is also full. However, we do have one seat in first class.”
Before the lady had a chance to answer, the stewardess continued, “It is the most extraordinary to make this kind of upgrade, however, and I have had to get special permission from the captain. But, given the circumstances, the captain felt that it was outrageous(令人不能容忍的) that someone should be forced to sit next to such an obnoxious(讨厌的) person.” Having said that, the stewardess turned to the black man sitting next to the lady, and said, “So if you’d like to get your things, sir, I have your seat ready for you.”
At that point, the surrounding passengers stood up and gave an ovation(喝彩) while the black man walked up to the front of the plane.
64. Why did the middle-aged lady complain about her seating?
A. Because her seat was not near a window.
B. Because she sat next to a black man.
C. Because she wanted to have a seat in first class.
D. Because the stewardess didn’t answer her question.
65. The underlined words “an obnoxious person” in Paragraph 5 refers to “__________”.
A. the middle-aged lady              B. the black man
C. the stewardess                         D. the captain
66. From the passage we can infer that _________.
A. the middle-aged lady got a seat in first class
B. both the middle-aged lady and the black man got seats in first class
C. neither the middle-aged lady nor the black man got a seat in first class
D. the black man got a seat in first class
67. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. The white people always prefer seats in first class on a plane.
B. More and more passengers travel by plane.
C. The black people are still looked down upon by some whites.
D. Only whites are served well on a plane.

       [2]If the group you want to be friends with is a shy group,  and you' re a little more sciable, never ask them "Why don't you talk?" or "Why are you quiet?" They hate that. It'srude. Don't do it.If you' re shy and you want to get into a sociable gToup, then just try to get a little attention, but try not to overdoit.No one likes a show -off.

第一节阅读表达

阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

[1]Can you imagine going through a whole day without telling a lie? “Yes,of course,”most people would answer,but then they've probably forgotten all these lies that are told so easily一“This is delicious.”“You look lovely in that dress.”“I'd love to come with you,”etc.Lies are used a lot in everyday life.

[2]Generally speaking,_______________.The first type of liar wants to please people.The second type wants to protect himself or herself,and the third type lies to get what he or she wants.Lying can also be separated into three different catalogues.

Both sides benefit

[3]If someone is fishing for compliments(赞美)and you tell them what they want to hear,you probably think this a“kind”lie.However,you get something as a result ot this lie, too—affection,friendship,or peace and quiet.

Refusing to accept responsibility

[4] When you lie for self-protection,the reason is very clear.To explain your late-ness,you tell your boss the train was late,not that you overslept.You cannot be blamed for being late,because you are not responsible for any problems the train has and the con-sequences of those problems.  

The worst type of lie

[5]The third sort of lie is more harmful.It is,for example,the kind of lie that people tell in order to climb up the ladder at work,without caring about the people who are treated badly and unfairly.

[6]What about being lied to? Can you tell when someone is telling you a lie? Obviously there are some verbal(明显可视的) signs. Liars often take longer to answer questions.They also speak faster but are sometimes very unclear about details.  Certain types of body language can also indicate that someone is lying.  Experts say that speaking through one's fingers or putting one’s hands over one's face may indicate that a person is lying.P1aying with one's hair or clothes and being unable to stay still for any length of time are others.
