第三部分：阅读理解（共16小题；每小题1.5分，满分24分）

阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。  

You’ve no doubt heard people say how much they “need” a holiday, when what they really mean is that they want one. Certainly, people working under pressure feel a very strong desire to escape from work and become less tight during holidays, and experience a changed environment.

However, work for many people today is office work and mental, rather than physical tasks. These people may seek much more energy-taking activities while on holiday, rather than simply lying on a beach. 

Once people become used to going on holiday, taking holidays becomes a habit. For many people the holiday is one of the last things to be given up, and indeed many workers have chosen to spend some of their last pay when being on holiday. It may give them a “lift” in facing some difficulties in life.

Most of us also enjoy showing off the lovely tans --- dark skins we get from a holiday. So many tourists are now able to afford holidays in the sun that tans have become quite common; although we join a tan together with health, it has been fully shown that too much sunshine will result in high danger of skin problems, as well as drying out one’s skin and leading to more lines on your face later in life.

56.According to the passage above, more and more people choose to have holidays because they __________.

A. love working outdoors all the time    

B. want to get away from work

C. love enjoying the beauties of nature   

D. become rich and want a better life

57. When office people have holidays, they often _________ .

A. lie on the beach and enjoy sunshine  

B. spend more than they can afford

C. be the last thing not to be given up   

D. bring good luck to someone

59 At the end of the passage the writer tries to tell the reader _________.

On the wall in my mother’s bedroom there was a photo, which showed a soldier with a gun.

Below the photo there was the word ”Speaking”.

“Who’s that soldier called Speaking?” I asked one day.

“He was Harold.” She said, ‘He was my only brother. When the Second War began, Harold was eighteen. I was twelve then, and my sisters were ten and nine.”

“Harold liked to play with us, and we often quarreled. When we quarreled, we said, ‘We’re not speaking to you.’ But before long we were all happy again, and then we said, ‘I’m speaking now. Are you speaking to me?’”

“When the war broke out, Harold joined the army. A month later, he came to see us. He brought the gun to show us. Then he went miles away to the war. We didn’t see him for three years, three long, empty years. We didn’t often hear from him. But one day in May there was a loud bang on the front door.”

“I ran to open it, it was Harold! He was an old Harold, a thinner Harold, too. He looked at me with his two green eyes and smiled. That smile was just the same as before, then he said one word “Speaking’”.

‘I didn’t. I couldn’t answer. I just fell into his arms and he dropped his gun. He stayed with us for a month. We played all our old games again. Then he went back to the war, and never came back again. So I wrote the word on the photo.”

An epidemic (流行病) of the use of street-culture language broke out in some English exams, according to examiners.

A report said there were “a surprising number of small mistakes” in standard (标准) English. It asked teachers that they should prevent pupils from using "street language and text style", adding, “Most answers require formal expression of language.”

“Many concerns were expressed by examiners about basic errors, often appearing in the work of clearly able students,” the report continued.

It added that the use of street and text language “appeared with surprisingly regularity in the work of students who clearly desired a higher grade”.

“Most answers require formal expression but even when an informal style is appropriate--students should know the examination context and, in particular, should not use street language and text style.” it said.

There is rising concern about pupils’ writing skills, especially among boys. National test results for 11-year-old boys’ writing standards had fallen this year. Only 55 percent reached the level expected of an 1l-year-old by the time they left primary school, the results showed.

Many educationalists are now arguing that teachers should also think of ways of improving writing standards.

The report said spelling was “in general inconsistent(不一致)” and “variety of vocabulary and of sentence structure is often limited”. It went on, “Punctuation (标点符号) errors continue to be widespread.”

However, it added, “Some examiners felt that this year they had met an improvement in the whole structure of students' writing.”

64. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Street language is appearing in the standard English exams.

B. What the street-culture language is in England.

C. The English say no to the street-culture language in daily life.

D. The street-culture language is being examined in English exams.

65. The underlined word “appropriate” (in Paragraph 5) means “ _______”                                                            

A. available             B. possible             C. valuable                   D. acceptable               

66. What problems concerned examiners ?                   

A. Small mistakes in spelling and punctuation,         

B. Poor sentence structure, and errors in spelling and standard English.                               

C. Teachers teaching writing skills.

D. Limited vocabulary of boy pupils.

67. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. In English exams, most answers require informal expression of language.                      

B. When an informal style is correct, the students are allowed to use it.                            

C. Boys' writing skills are worse than those of girls in England.

D. There is no improvement in the whole structure of students' writing.
