第二部分: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 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
About a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next
door to me.I never heard any noise from the children, but the parents were always
yelling at them.
We often met. I always spoke to them, but the only answer I ever got was a hello
from a four-year-old girl. One day when I returned they were just coming back to
their apartment and the little girl was holding the door in the hall open for the
others. I remained in the car doing unnecessary things. The parents were telling
her to hurry. I looked up and saw the little girl still holding the door open, waiting
for me.
I hurried as much as I could and thanked her. She was smiling from ear to ear.
That afternoon I was at the K-Mart and I saw a white teddy bear. I thought of
the little girl and said to myself, “I bet she would like it.” So I bought it
for her.
The next day there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her
family. She was so proud of her bear and thanked me.
Now when we meet in the hall we all speak in a friendly manner. Last night we
had about 4 inches of snow. When I opened the outside door, there was my car with
all the snow removed. The man next door was the only person I knew in the whole
building, so when I saw him the next day, I asked him if he was the nice person
that removed the snow. He said No. He wanted to, but his wife said she wanted to
do it.
Isn’t it amazing that the small kind act of a 4-year-old girl can change so
many things for the better?

What kind of clothes do people wear in Ireland? Ireland does not have a standard
dress code and there is a range of clothing options available to Irish people, who
dress according to personal taste. Irish clothes are best described as a combination
of function and personal style.
Fashion
The
Irish
fashion
scene
is
much
like
that
of
any
other
Western
culture-constantly changing, varying among individuals and influenced by famous
people. Short dresses, skirts, belts and skinny jeans are common with women. The
Independent, an Irish newspaper, suggests that a man’s “core wardrobe (衣柜)”
should include a pair of straight leg jeans, cotton plaid (有格子图案的) shirt and
a dark-colored wool sweater.
Function
Irish people wear clothing depending on what kinds of activities they are about
to engage in. For example, people who work outdoors wear rubber boots and many layers
for warmth. People who work in an office usually wear traditional business suits
or black pants and skirts. University students tend to follow trends, which can
be seen on Irish fashion blogs.
Tradition
Traditional clothing in Ireland is still worn today. Aran sweaters are common,
particularly with tourists, and they are worn by Irish people as well. These thick
and hand-knit sweaters originate from the Aran Islands on the west coast of Ireland.
In the past, each family had their own stitching (编织的) pattern, so a person could
be identified by their clothing. Modern female Irish dancers still wear traditional
peasant dresses adorned with (装饰) ribbons or a sash (饰带), which reflects the
school or level of skill associated with an Irish dancer.

Do you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different
one for their meat? Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton?
To find out, we have to go back to1066, when the Norman French invaded England and
put a French king on the English throne (王位), which not only changed the government
but also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of
society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people
could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc (pork) and beouf (beef)
came into the English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals.
So the English language retained the words pig and cow from the Native Anglo-Saxon.
The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language.
Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.
Language experts estimate that English speakers who have never studied French
already know 15, 000 French words! Between one-third and two-thirds of all English
words have French origins. Some words such as possible and avenue are the same in
French and English; only the pronunciations change. Other words such as ballet or
a la carte (照菜单点菜) retain their French pronunciations in both languages.
In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender (性), so adjectives
(形容词) take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does
this, and it came from French. The word blond describes someone with light-colored
hair. Blond is used for men and blonde describes women. And they are also nouns.
Now, as you learn English, you’re on your way to learning French!
41. French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because _____.
A. too many French moved to Britain
B. French brought animals with them
C. the king and his officials spoke French
D. the king allowed only French to be spoken
42. Which word can replace the word “retained” in Paragraph I?
A. Adopted.
C. Introduced.
B. Kept.
D. Deserted.
43. Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?
A. Because English and French share similar pronunciations.
B. Because English grammar and French grammar are similar.
C. Because a large number of English words have French origins.
D. Because English has great influences on the French language.
44. French grammar is distinct from English grammar in that _____.
A. no words have the same pronunciation
B. all words have the same pronunciation
C. English nouns have a male or female gender
D. French nouns have different adjective forms
45. What conclusion can we draw from the text?
A. Language is closely related to history and culture.
B. French and English words have nothing in common.
C. Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.
D. English combines French and the Native Anglo-Saxon.

Muhammad Ali was a great boxer in the U.S.A. In 1964, Ali beat Sonny Liston
to become the world heavyweight champion. Ali surprised the world again in 1966,
not for his boxing skills, but for his political beliefs. He disagreed with the
U. S. war in Vietnam (越南) and refused to join the army, which all young men in
the U. S. had to do at the same time. As a result, Ali’s heavyweight title was
taken away and he was sent to prison for five years.

I have been keeping a journal since I was 16 and I’m now 65. I have more than
80 notebooks in a big box. I don’t want my children embarrassed by them when I
die. But I can’t bring myself, yet, to burn the case. My journals are still part
of me. Might my grandchildren, with a bit more distance, be interested? Or is there
some way I could turn them into something creative? I’m thinking about art instead
of a book.
