第三部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）
第一节：阅读理解（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。
In 2008, the main candidates（候选人）for President each used this expression: “You can put lipstick（口红）on a pig, but it is still a pig.” This means that it is a waste of time to change something from ugly or unpleasant–looking to beautiful.
There are other expressions about improving a pig’s appearance, like this one: “A hog in a silk waistcoat is still a hog.” Hogs are similar to pigs, only bigger. Americans use many other expressions about pigs, hogs and female hogs called sows, like this one, “You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” This means you cannot create something valuable from something that has no value. Then there is the expression “Cast pearls before swine（猪）.” That means wasting something valuable on someone who will not be thankful or care about it.
Hogs, which are very large animals, take up a lot of space but people should not take up more than their share. If one of your children is taking up too much space sitting in front of the television, other children might say: “Do not hog the couch.” And a road hog is a driver who uses more than his share of the road. Such a driver increases dangers for other drivers.
Pig terms are also used in American politics. Farmers mark their pig’s ears to identify them. In politics, earmarks are money set aside for projects in a congressman’s home state.
In many areas, pigs provide ham, bacon and other pork products to eat. All Americans want to be able to bring home the bacon because they want to earn enough money to provide the necessities of life. Experts say this term was first used in the 1920s. But it is believed to come from the much older game of catching a greased（涂了油的）pig. This was a popular event at country fairs in which the winner was awarded the pig.
41. The author writes this passage mainly to _________.
A. express his support for the Presidential Election
B. introduce some expressions used in Americans’ daily life
C. criticize the bad influence caused by expressions about pigs
D. discuss some problems caused by expressions about pigs
42. If you give a good book to a person who can’t read, which of the following is the most suitable to describe it?
A. Cast pearls before swine.
B. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig.
C. A hog in a silk waistcoat is still a hog.
D. You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.
43. A driver who takes up too much space on the road is often referred to as _________.
A. a greased pig                                         B. a couch hog
C. a road hog                                             D. a road earmark
44. How many words which refer to the same animal are mentioned in this passage?
A. Three                    B. Four                     C. Five                      D. Six
45. Which of the following expressions are similar to “You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.”?
A. When pigs fly!                                            B. To eat like a pig
C. To sell a pig in a pork.                                 D. To sweat like a pig.

Ⅲ阅读  (共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分)

第一节：阅读理解：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

The relations between man and wife are changing. A majority of working women remain in full charge of their home; they come back at night to the cleaning, washing, and cooking that constitute their second career. But more and more husbands are sharing the burden and willingly taking on chores that their fathers would rejected as unmanly, and as too mysteriously difficult anyway. In such cases, man and wife become equal partners, both working outside, both pushing the vacuum cleaner. Actually, the number of husbands who do help that way is much smaller than the number of those who accept the idea in theory. And when the equal partnership is a fact, it doesn’t always work well. The marriage can be destroyed when the wife is more successful in her profession than her husband in his, particularly when she earns more than he does. Sociologists see in this situation one of the main reasons for the increase in the divorce rate—another reason being the husband’s refusal to help with the housework or the care of the children. A third reason could be the growing awareness of the professional woman that she doesn’t have to remain married if she is too unhappy.

61. What is the housework like in the traditional husband’s eyes?

A. It’s a mysterious job.

B. It’s a little difficult

C. It’s women’s job.

D. It’s only men’s job.

62. The underlined sentence means________________.

A. When man and wife share the housework, man can’t do it well.

B. When man and wife share the housework, women can’t do it well.

C. when man and wife become equal at home, it doesn’t mean a good marriage.

D. when man and wife are equal partners, marriage doesn’t necessarily go well.

63. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT______________.

A. more husbands act in helping housework than those agreeing it without action.

B. more and more husbands are helping their wives to do housework.

C. most of the working women take charge of their house.

D. it is possible for the marriage to fail if women earn more money than husbands.

64. What may be the reason for the divorce according to the sociologist?

A. The wife refuses to look after the child.

B. The wife is more successful than her husband.

C. The wife is aware of her unhappiness in marriage.

D. Both A and B.

65. The best title of the passage is most likely to be___________.

A. Equal Partnership Means Nothing in Modern Family.

B. The Changing Relations between Man and Wife.

C. Reasons for Increasing Divorce.

D. The Relations between Husband and Wife.
