阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he
saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold.
He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.
Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and
bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported
(出口) to other countries like America and Germany. Bananas are the country’s second
most important export.
Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their
own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.
Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a
school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of
age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and
end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children
have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.
31. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. How Columbus found Costa Rica.
B. How Costa Rica got its name.
C. What the Costa Ricans wore.
D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke.
32. The Costa Ricans may NOT paint their houses ______.
A. pink and red
C. blue and green

A. must go to school
B. study in the same school
C. do not have to go to school at all
D. can choose to stop schooling at any time
34. From December to February, school children in Costa Rica ______.
A. have lessons every day
B. have their examinations
C. help their parents pick coffee beans
D. help their parents decorate their houses
35. This passage is mainly about ______.
A. Christopher Columbus
B. Costa Rica
C. some products from Costa Rica
D. the education of Costa Rica
B
Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask
us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work
of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about
these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are
not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends---you are
in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent,
waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear
you---loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing
to force yourself.
Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether
it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you.
The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease but the situation is
somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special
care that you can be heard.
36. When you speak to the class, you should speak ________.
A. as slowly as possible
C. loudly
B. in a low voice
D. forcefully
37. Usually, when you speak to the class, the class is ________.
A. noisy
B. quiet
C.
having a rest
38. The situation in the class is _________that in your house.
D. serious
A. not very different from
B.
sometimes
the same as
C. sometimes not the same as
D. not the same as
39. If you are having a conversation with an official, the most important thing
for
you is____.
A. to show your ability
very gentle
B.
to
be
C. to make sure that you can be heard
D. to put the official at ease
40. The main idea of this passage is _______.
A. that we should talk in different ways in different situations
B. that we must speak loudly
C. that we must keep silent at any time
D. that we must talk with the class
C
English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in
every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and
three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has
the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an
eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger.
Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛
public
盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,
bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t
groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural
of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise
guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot
and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as
hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the
creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能
看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up
my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
41. According to the passage ______.
A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things
B. there should be egg in an eggplant
C. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
D. boxing rings should be round
42. Which of the following is the correct plural?
A. Beeth.
B. Geese.
C. Meese.
D. Tooth.
43. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?
A. A wise man and a wise guy.
B. Overlook and oversee.
C. Quite a lot and quite a few.
D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.
44. The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “____”.
A. blow
B. roll up
C. get hurt
D. finish
45. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show
that human beings are ______.
A. clever
B. crazy
C. lazy
D. dull
