第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)K_S_5_U

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。

When I was a boy every holiday that I had seemed perfect. My parents took me by train or by car to a hotel by the sea. All day, I seem to remember, I played on the sands with strange exciting children. We make sandcastles with huge yellow walls, and watched the incoming tide destroy them; we splashed each other in the water and shrieked with excitement. When the tide went out, we climbed over the slippery rocks and stared down at the fish and the seaweed in the rock-pools.

In those far-off days the sun seemed to shine constantly and the water was always warm. Sometimes we left the beach and walked in the country, exploring ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees that overhung streams. There were always sweets in one’s pockets or convenient places where one could buy ice-creams. Each day seemed a life-time.

Although I am now an adult, my idea of a good holiday is much the same as it was. I still like the sun and the warm sand and the sound of waves breaking on the beach. I no longer wish to build sandcastles and I dislike sweets instantly, but I look forward to sitting down to a good meal and a bottle of wine in the evening.

I think, too, that I prefer spending my holiday abroad. I want to smell different smells; I want to see different kinds of trees, flowers and birds; and I also want to see people with different colored skins, wearing different kinds of clothes. Above all, I want to hear a different language spoken and listen to different musical rhythms from those I am used to.

But I still need my companions----not, of course, to play on the sands and eat ices with, but to drink with and talk to on warm moonlit nights.

Sometimes I wonder what my perfect holiday will be when I am old. All I shall want to do then, I expect, will be to lie in bed, reading books about children who make sandcastles with huge yellow walls, who watch the incoming tide, who make themselves sick on too many ices…

56. Where did the author mostly spend his holidays when he was young?

   A. In the countryside.   B. On the beach.   C. In the mountains.    D. On the sea.

57. What does the underlined word “shrieked” in Paragraph 1 mean?

   A. shouted            B. swam         C. struggled           D. surfed

   A. to enjoy a nice dinner                    B. to spend his holiday sunbathing

   C. to chat with someone                    D. to experience a foreign culture

   A. he will read more books about children

   B. he will lie in bed without worrying about anything

   C. he will bring back wonderful childhood memories from a book

   D. he will make sandcastles with his children

 

Here are two letters in WORKWORRIES, a column(栏) in a newspaper:

Dear Ariel,

 

       I got a job offer from a high-tech company with a fairly satisfactory paycheck and benefits.Even the work environment is cool.But I heard that the job requires a lot of overtime and even weekends.I know it's important for newcomers to work hard to get their feet planted firmly on the ground, but I'm scared of the idea of having nearly no free time.I still need to find a girlfriend.So, shall I accept the job or give it up for another one with much less pay and more freedom?

Dear Amoretto,

I have two things to say: First, you're lucky to have such an excellent offer, especially at a time when so many qualified(胜任的)people are struggling to find any work at all; and second, you can't figure out your work-life balance until you're actually working.

Take the job.You'll be learning, doing interesting things, working in a cool environment, and making money.If you're given a contract (合同), make sure you understand the terms before you sign.Ask your boss how many hours a week you're expected to work.If they tell you a number that is much lower than what you find once you're working, you'll be in a better position to talk to them about it.

Give your wor k 100 percent.Work energetically and efficiently.If you're dedicated(敬业的)and focused, you might accomplish more than your co-workers in less time.Showing yourself to be a productive and talented worker for the beginning will give you more bargaining power.Finally, remember that taking a job doesn't have to be a life commitment.Try to give it at least a year (two is better).If you're really miserable after that time, look for another job that will give you more freedom.By then, you'll have workplace experience, bosses and colleagues who can speak positively about your work and some savings.Good luck!
