第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每题2分,满分40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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

French people pride themselves on their delicious foods, such as cheese, baguettes and croissants (two kinds of food). In fact, food is an important part of French culture. Families and friends spend hours over the dinner table each night. It is the opposite of the fast – food habit common in other parts of the West.

It’s the reason why the French are very angry that a McDonald’s is opening beneath Paris’s most famous museum: the Louvre (卢浮宫). The mew restaurant will be the 1,142 nd McDonald’s in France, and will open in the underground approach to the museum. But many French people can’t understand why this American chain is opening in the heart of French culture.

However, McDonald’s is paying no notice to the complaint. McDonald’s now has 31,000 chains worldwide. Tourists are hungry, and opening chains in tourist spots pays well.

There is another chain threatening France’s heritage. This time it is coffee rather than burgers. As more and more Starbucks open in Paris, traditional French cafes are forced to close.

The trouble with American companies opening chains throughout the world is the destructive effect they can have on a country’s culture. How can a small, independent coffee shop compete with the multi – billion dollar chain? You can go to a Starbucks in any city in the world, but you can only go to a Parisian café in France.

Responsibility is with the tourists. A McDonald’s wouldn’t open so near the Louvre if it weren’t not going to make money. Similarly, a Pizza Hut wouldn’t overlook (俯瞰) Egypt’s Great Pyramid if no one wants to sit in it. Maybe next time you visit the Great Wall, you should think twice before ordering a Cappuccino in the Starbucks.

51.Why are the French very angry when a McDonald’s is opening beneath the Louvre?

A.Because they will spend many hours in McDonald’s.

B.Because French food culture is very impressive.

C.Because they also have the fast – food habit.

D.Because they are proud of their own food.

52.The McDonald’s will be located in the underground approach to the museum because_______.

A.the complaints of the French are useless

B.opening a chain in tourist spot is rewarding

C.McDonald’s tends to be in the heart of culture

D.it will help to attract more tourists for the museum

53.What is the trouble with American companies opening chains all over the world?

A.The traditional stores of a country are forced to fight back.

B.The traditional stores of a country become dependant.

C.They have negative effect on a country’s culture.

D.The multi – billion dollar chain can’t be matched.

54.The author suggests that the tourists can_______.

A.decide whether the multiple stores of America are successful or not

B.order a Cappuccino in the Starbucks when they visit the Great Wall

C.sit in a Pizza Hut when they visit Egypt’s Great Pyramid

D.enter the McDonald’s when they visit the Louvre

 

There is a saying in France that states, "The government could fall, the Louvre (卢浮宫)could be broken into or creatures from other planets could land on earth, but if any of these things happened during the Tour de France, no one would notice." The Tour de France is the most famous cycling race in the world.It begins in July and runs for three weeks.Cyclists who race in the Tour de France ride in six legs or stages of the race, and they have between one to four days of rest between each leg of the race.The rider who completes all six legs of the race in the shortest overall time wins.

    The Tour de France began as a publicity stunt(惊人的表演) for the French sports newspaper, L’Auto.Hcnri Desgranges, who worked for L’Auto,  came up with the idea for "the greatest bike race in the world, "and on July 1,1903, the first Tour de France began.Sixty cyclists began that first leg of the race which started in front of the Alarm Clock Cafe just outside of Paris.This first leg took them 467 kilometers to Lyon.The first Tour de France received an astonishing 2,000 francs.Maurice Garin, the most popular cyclist in France at that time, won the first Tour de France.It took him 94 hours and 33 minutes to ride all 2,428 kilometers of the race.This time was three hours faster than the second -place rider.Over the weeks during which the race was run, the idea of the Tour de France slowly caught the imagination of the people of France.The race has been run every year since that time, except during the years of World War I and World War Ⅱ.

    The Tour de France has developed several special honors for which racers compete.Above all, the highest honor is the " yellow jersey".Mr.Desgranges introduced the yellow jersey in 1919 to show the leading racer each rider's total time in order to find the racer with the lowest time.That racer wears the yellow jersey during the day's race.Other honors include the "green jersey " which is given to the rider who sprints the best by riding the fastest over short distances, and the "polka dot jersey" for the best rider in the mountains along the route.

1. Who wins the Tour de France?

A. The first cyclist to finish the race.

B. The cyclist with the most points.

C. The cyclist with the polka dot jersey.

D. The cyclist with the shortest overall time.

2.Henri Desgranges was           .

A. a photographer B. a famous cyclist

C. the man who first won the Tour de France

D. the man who first thought of the Tour de France

3.How many stages make up the Tour de France?
