第三部分：阅读理解（共12 小题, 每小题2分 , 满分24分）
A
If you didn't look at them, they weren't there, right? On seeing those in rags on the corner, I only wanted the light to turn green fast enough so that I wouldn't have to keep pretending not to see them.
Then, one day, as I was holding the hand of my best friend Jane who was young but dying of breast cancer, she told me that she made every moment count by slowing down and by seeing everything. I held her hand for five years and then she passed away. She did teach me something. It took a while for her words to really sink in. I can be a slow learner.
I started by seeing everything, and focused on their presence. One day I saw a Vietnam veteran(老兵). I asked him what would make his day.
\"A hot cup of coffee,\" he told me.
I bought him a cup of coffee a stack of pancakes, some eggs, and so on. After our meal Together, I asked him if there was anything else that would make his life a bit easier. \"A new pair of socks, \"he said.
Socks, really? I actually happened to be wearing a nice pair of wool hiking socks at that very moment. I told him that I wanted to give him the pair I was wearing, if he would accept it. Finally, he agreed. We sat down on a bench, and he started to first take off his boots, then remove the black socks that had once been white off his feet. I think a layer or two of skin might have come off with them. Taking his new pair of socks, he held the socks up to his cheeks and said they were warm
and smelled as good as me, pools of tears in his eyes.
Such a simple luxury (奢侈品) I used to take for granted. Now, I always have an extra pair with me in my car. They are always my best pair, just waiting to be given away. 51. On seeing the homeless, the author used to_______. A. hide in the corner C. make fun of them
B. show mercy to them
D. act as if they were not there
52. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2? A. He was slow in learning things. B. His best friend was once a teacher. C. He was sad that his friend was dying. D. He didn't understand Jane's words at first.
53. What does the underlined word \"them\" in the last paragraph but one refer to? A. The veteran's boots. B. The veteran's old socks. C. The wool hiking socks. D. The veteran's feet. 54. What does the author want to convey to us? A. All men are born equal. B. A beggar's purse is bottomless. C. Don't miss doing any good thing. D. Don't trouble until trouble troubles you.
B
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in \"small talk\over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I
had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
55. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _______.
A. get to know each other
B. share the same culture D. keep each other company
C. develop closer relations
56. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _________.
A. too many words are of no use
B. the English prefer to make long speeches C. even talk and silence can be culturally different D. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
57. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?
A. By sharing different ways of life. B. By recognizing different values. C. By accepting different habits. D. By speaking each other' s languages. 58. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Cross-Cultural Differences
C
D. How to Understand Each Other. B.
Multicultural
Environment.
C. How to Build Up a Relationship
For a song to become popular, people need to hear it. In order for people to hear it, the program directors at radio stations have to play it on the air. A song’s popularity is directly related to how often it is played. That is a big responsibility for program directors. How do they decide what gets played and what doesn’t?
In the past, disc jockeys(音乐节目主持人) decided what music was played on the radio. These DJs had an ear for music and an understanding of what their audience wanted to hear. Today, that is all changing. Most major radio stations are owned by a few large national businesses. The decision of what gets played on the radio is made by executives(主管) who have little or no interest in music. They do, however, know how to run a business, and they know what sells. So, the music industry designs and creates pop entertainers, and executives in the radio industry make sure that their music is played on the radio. This explains why you do not often hear anything new and fresh on the radio. The executives do not want to give air time to music that has not been tested on the market. It is too risky. They prefer to go with music that they already know will sell. They know it will sell because it sold last week and last month and last year. They just have to change it a little.
One of the most criticized(批评) practices in the music industry is the practice of “payola”. This is when record companies pay radio stations to play the music of a given artist. This practice makes many people lose trust in the music industry and is therefore against the law. A radio station can accept money in exchange for air time of a song, but they have to make it clear that the song is being played because its air time was paid for. They cannot present the song as if it were part of the normal play schedule(时刻表).
Payola affects both artists and audiences. The artists who work with small record companies that cannot pay a lot of money to radio stations have a much harder time getting exposure. It creates an unfair playing field. Music lovers suffer because they are not able to hear all the music that is available.
59. According to the passage, most major radio stations belong to __________.
A. national businesses B. program directors companies
60. “Payola” is the practice of __________.
A. artists paying radio stations to play their songs
C. pop entertainers
D.
record
B. record companies buying air time for certain music C. radio station paying record company for new songs D. program directors deciding what music gets played 61. Who can make the largest profits from payola?
A. Business executives B. Disc Jockeys. C. The given artists. D. Program directors. 62. It can be concluded from the passage that the author __________.
A. has a positive attitude towards the practice of “payola” B. thinks that the radio stations are doing the right thing C. is calling for a change in the normal play schedule D. is dissatisfied with the present situation in music industry

We lived in an old building on a farm years ago. Also on the farm was an old office building 1
(belong) to my grandfather who had passed away. The building was no longer used as an office, 2 it became my playhouse.
In the office there was a large safe. It was always locked. We didn’t know what was inside, but 3 of the family ever tried to open it and find out what was in it. I just used it as a table.
One night there was a 4 (terror) storm. The next day when I went back to my
playhouse, I opened the door and discovered papers spread all over the floor. The front of the safe 5 (damage)and my toys were all around. It was a mess!
I ran to tell my parents 6 I had seen. Soon it was news all over the neighborhood. Everyone wanted to see 7 blown safe. Maybe they thought there was money in the safe. The loud “thunder” I heard during the night had almost blown up the safe, so 8 was easy for some men to blow it apart. But what we saw was only some more papers and several books.
