第二部分 阅读理解(共25小题;第一节每小题2分;第二节每小题1分;满分45分)
第一节 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。
A
Families have always
changed. For instance, once the family was the world. In other words, at one
time everything a person did took place within the family. The family was a
child’s only school. One worshiped only within the family. The rules set up by
the family were the only laws one had to obey, and the family was the only
means one had to settle a dispute. The family is still the “world’ in some
cultures. But in many cultures, these former functions of the family have
largely been taken over by other institutions, such as schools, churches, and
governments.
In the past, families changed in other ways. Some scientists
believe that when people obtained food by hunting animals and gathering roots
and plants, the nuclear family was the rule. The family had to be small in
order to move around and live off the land. When people settled in one place
and began to farm to obtain food, they found that they needed more hands to do
the work. The extended family developed in some cultures. Now in addition to
their children, people lived together with their parents and even grandparents.
How are families changing today? The number of nuclear
families seems to be increasing everywhere in the world. The number of extended
families is declining. One reason for this seems to be that in many cultures
today people are leaving farms and villages to find jobs in the city. Extended
families are hard to maintain when people have to be free to move in order to
find work.
41. In many cultures today, __________.
A. the family is the world
B. the family is not an institution.
C. the family does not have any functions.
D. the family has lost many of the functions it used to have.
42. The nuclear family was the rule because _________.
A. the family had to move around to find enough food.
B. people didn’t know many ways of hunting animals.
C. People needed many hands to do farming.
D. the extended family had not been invented yet.
43. The reason why many people are leaving farms to find jobs in
the city is ________.
A. that there are more and more nuclear families in the world.
B. that extended families are hard to maintain.
C. that people do not like to settle down.
D. not stated in above article.
44. Which of the following is true?
A. Although the nuclear family developed before the extended
family, the latter is gaining more and more popularity everywhere in the world.
B. the most important reason why people are leaving villages is
that they do not enjoy living together with their parents or grandparents.
C. Different types of families have developed as different ways of
life are accepted.
D. Families change because tides and fashions always change.
B
February 24,2008 saw thieves break into the showroom of an Italian jeweler favored by Hollywood stars and stole items worth up to 10 million dollars while its owners were in Los Angeles hosting a party to celebrate the Oscars.
The robbery,which took place at the Damiani showroom in Milan’s fashion district that morning,was compared later with the “perfect scenes” in films such as Ocean’s Eleven and The Italian Job.
The thieves had spent more than a month digging a tunnel from a disused cellar(地下室)in a building joined to the showroom.The digging had been heard for weeks but was thought to be part of continuing building works next door. The four thieves,dressed in balaclavas,sunglasses and fake uniforms of the Guards, used an inside stair to reach the first floor,thus avoiding alarms and video cameras.
The showroom had been opened for a private viewing and there were five employees inside,including a cleaning lady and a member of the staff,as well as the manager. The thieves said they were there to check the accounts(账目),then knocked down the staff,tied them up with ropes,covered their mouths with tape and locked them in the washroom. They then helped themselves to jewelry from the safe and left the way they had come.
The entire operation had taken little more than 40 minutes.The employees managed to free themselves and raise the alarm,but by then the thieves were long gone.The police said that they were looking into whether the robbers had “inside assistance” that had helped them to avoid the alarms and cameras.
45.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A.A Perfect Robbery B.10 Million of Jewelry Stolen
C.The Italian Thieves D.An Italian Jeweler
46.Why didn’t the thieves appear in the cameras? Perhaps because .
A.there was something wrong with the cameras then
B.the thieves entered the showroom through an inside stair
C.the employees were too frightened to open the cameras then
D.the cameras didn’t work with the uniforms of the guards
47.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.The Italian jeweler was popular with some famous American film stars.
B.The thieves went into a disused tunnel into the showroom.
C.When the robbery took place,there was no one in the showroom.
D.One of the jeweler employees must have helped the robbery secretly.
48.We can infer from the passage that .
A.The items were so dear that no one could afford to buy one.
B.The thieves left the showroom from where they came into it.
C.The most valuable jewels survived the robbery.
D.The jeweler had to close down because of the showroom robbery.

Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures from their parents to do well in school. Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have a wonderful life. Though this may be good ideas for those very bright students, it can have very bad results for many students who are not quick enough at learning.
Unfortunately, a number of students killed themselves. Others are after comfort in using drugs. Some do bad things with trouble-makers and turn to crime. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have disappointed their parents. Such students feel that they are less important and leave school before they have finished their study.
It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to special school called juku-cram schools. These schools are open during the evening and on weekends, and their only purpose is to prepare students to pass exam; they do not try to educate students in any real sense of the real world. It thus comes as a shock to realize that almost three quarter of the junior or high school population attend these cram schools.
Ordinary Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules often lead to a feeling of being unsafe and being unable to fit into society. They regard rules as being harmful to the development of each student. They believe that no sense of moral values is developed and that students are given neither guidance nor training in becoming good citizens.
53.According to the passage, a lot of Japanese students are unhappy at school because ________.
A.they work very hard B.they find they can’t do well at school
C.they feel unimportant D.they are under too much pressure
54.Because of their failure at school, some students ________.
A.go to cram school for better education
B.leave school without finishing their study
C.are against the school rules
D.have quarrels with their parents
55.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.The Pressure of Being a Student
in
B.The Problems of Japanese Students
C.Education in
D.The Trouble in Japanese Schools
56.In the third paragraph, ‘‘juku-cram schools’’ probably means the school in which _______.
A.you can be taken good care of by the teachers
B.teachers are responsible for their students
C.you learn as much as possible in a short time before taking exams
D.students have their classes in the evening

书面表达
Dear Manager,
My name is Li Hua. I am a passenger of your airline. I’m writing this letter about your bad service. I’m sorry to say that I’ m very unhappy about your air line.
First of all, your airline lost one of my bags in which there was an important paper. Secondly, my plane was one and a half hours late. You know, I had to attend an important meeting in time. Thirdly, the food on the plane was terrible. Fourthly, I hate to have to say this, but I think that the people at the airline were unfriendly and impolite to me. Honestly speaking, this is the worst line I’ve ever known in the world. The focus of my complaint is where my bag is.
I do hope you can help me find my bag and improve your service.
Yours,
Li Hua
