storm, and she was too weak to
walk across the stream. The first man said __47__,
“We are
tall enough, and we can carry you
across” The second man thought it troublesome, but
he
agreed reluctantly（不情愿地）. So the two men
__48__ the bridge, lifted her between them
and
carried her across the river. When they got to the
other side, they set her down and
she went on
her way gratefully. After they had walked another
mile or so, the second man
began to complain
“My back began to hurt for lifting her.” The first

is all because we
had to carry that silly
woman across the river!” Out of __52__, he asked
“Why aren’t
you complaining about it? Doesn’t
your back hurt?”
“Of course not.” The first
man replied. “You have been carrying the woman
since we
left the river bank. But I set her
down five miles ago.”

Part 3 Reading and Writing
VI. Reading
comprehension
A. Choose the best answer
My favorite area in Britain is a country called
Northumberland in the north-east of
the
country. I like it because it has mountains, the
sea and history. The mountains are
not very
high. In China you would probably call them hills
rather than mountains as they
are less than
1,000 meters high, but there is something wild
about these mountains you get
a feeling of
space and freedom. You can walk for miles without
meeting another person.
Northumberland is
full of history. There are seven castles, some of
them were ruined
and the others still there as
they were centuries ago. You can find graves going
back to
prehistoric（史前的）, times and strange
carvings on rocks which nobody understands. The
coast line is dramatic too, with beautiful
sandy beaches. These beaches are rarely crowded
because the weather is unpredictable and the
North Sea is very cold! People don’t go for
seaside holidays to Northumberland because of
the cold sea and weather, so even in high
season there aren’t many tourists.
There is an island called Holy Island off the
coast of Northumberland, you can get to
the
island by car or on foot when the tide is out.
There is also one castle I particularly
th
like. It is a 14 century castle which
stands on a cliff right by the sea. The castle is
almost completely ruined, but it looks
dramatic and romantic because you can still see
the
gate and two of its owners. On a summer’s
day you can lie on the beach nearby and let your
mind wander as you look at this dream-like
castle. On a winter’s day you can walk to the
castle and watch the waves crash into the
cliff, wondering how this castle has stood so
long against the forces of nature.
I once
said to a friend of mine that I thought this
castle by the sea was the most
beautiful place
in the world. She laughed and said there must be
many more dramatic places
in the world. In one
way, I’m sure she’s right, but for me, it’s not
just about what
a place looks like, it’s about
what it says to you.
69. In China people
probably call them mountains which are ______
1,000 meters high.
A. less than B. nearly
C. more than D. almost
70. How are the seven
castles in Northumberland?
A. They are modern
and fantastic. B. They are all complete and
magnificent.
C. Some hasn’t changed at
all for centuries. D. Some are full of strange
carvings.
71. Not many people visit the
beautiful beach because of ______.
A. the
soft sands B. the cold sea and weather
C. the warm sea D. the island nearby
th
72. Which of the following is NOT TRUE
about the reason why the author likes the 14
century
castle?
th
A. It was built in
the 14 century on a cliff right by the sea.
B. It looks very dramatic and romantic with two
towers but no gate.
C. The author can let his
mind wander as he looks at this dream-like castle.
D. The author can walk to the castle and
watch the waves crash into the cliff.
73. From
the last paragraph in the passage, we know ______.
A. the author’s friend agreed on his opinion
about the castle.
B. the author doesn’t think
there are many more dramatic places in the world.
C. the author’s friend pays no attention to
the beautiful scenery.
D. what the author
cares is not only the scenery but also the feeling
he can get from
it.
74. You can get the
passage from the following materials EXCEPT
______.
A. science fiction B. journals C.
newspapers D. magazines
B. Choose the
best answer and complete the passage.
The
first day of university our professor introduced
himself and challenged us to get
to know
someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look
around when a __75__ hand touched
my shoulder.
I turned around to find a wrinkled（有皱纹的）, little
old lady with a smile.
She __76__ a minute and
said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-
seven years old.
Can I give you a hug?”
I laughed and responded, “Of course you may!” and
she gave me
a big one.
We became
immediate friends. Every day for the next three
months, we would leave class
together and talk
nonstop. I always loved listening to this ‘time
machine’ __77__ she
shared her wisdom and
experience with me. Over the course of this year
Rose became a campus
role model and she __78__
made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress
up and she
loved the attention from the other
students.
At the end of the term we invited
Rose to speak at our football club. I’ll never
forget
what she taught us. She was introduced
and stepped up to the platform. As she began to
deliver
he prepared speech, she dropped her
cards on the floor. A little upset she simply
said,
“I’m sorry I’m so nervous. I __79__ beer
for Lent（大裔节）and this wine is killing me!
I’ll
never get my speech back in order …” As we
laughed, she cleared her throat and began,
“We
do not stop playing because we are old; wo grow
old because we stop playing. There
is a huge
__80__ between growing older and growing up.
Anybody can grow older, but it does
take
talents and abilities to grow up…”
One week
after graduation Rose died peacefully in her
sleep. However, these words have
been passed
along in loving memory of ROSE.
75. A.
gentle B. cold C. hard D. awful
76.
A. left B. returned C. hesitated D. refused
77. A. until B. but C. though D. as
78. A. rarely B. easily C. suddenly D.
carefully
79. A. gave up B. put up C.
took up D. turned up
80. A. chain B.
result C. deal D. difference
C.
Fill in the blanks with proper words.
Children grow quickly, especially their feet. But
many families, cannot a__81__ new
shoes when a
child needs them. As a result, about 300 million
children around the world
go barefoot. Those
children risk picking up diseases and
parasites（寄生虫）from the soil.
An American man
has a s__82__ for those barefoot kids – a shoe
that grows with the
child. Kenton Lee is the
creator of The Shoe That Grows. He explains how
the shoe works
and how it is able to last so
long.
“It grows in three places: the front,
the side and the back with the child. It can
last up to five years. The b__83__ is
compressed（压缩的）rubber like tire rubber. The top
is just high-quality leather.”
The shoe
comes in two sizes: small that fits children aged
4 to 9 and large for children
aged 9 to 14.
Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while
working as a v__84__ in an orphanage
in Kenya.
“… and there was a little girl in a white dress
walking next to me. And I just
remember
looking down and seeing how small her shoes were.
And she had to c__85__ open the
front of her
shoes to let her toes（脚趾）stick out. At that time I
just remember thinking,
wouldn’t it be nice if
there were a pair of shoes that could grow with
her feet?” However,
Lee says it was i__86__ to
turn his idea into a reality at that time. “Yet I
kept writing
down I should do this because of
this or because of that. All these reasons why it
really
was important for me to try to make the
shoes grow are to try to help them.” Finally, in
2009 Lee founded a non-profit
organization called Because International.
Together, they
have sent over 50,000 pairs of
shoes to 70 countries. Lee says a pair shoes gives
a child
self-worth and more chances to succeed
b__87__ much protection.
D. Answer the
questions
You are invited to a large party.
Loud music is playing, and lots of people are
dancing.
Do you dance or talk to as many
people as you can call all night? Later, you
cannot fall
asleep—you want more conversation!
Or do you prefer a quieter corner? Or perhaps you
cannot
wait to go home early and relax by
yourself.
Which of these people sound most
like you? Person A, who tries to talk to everyone
and
stays late? Or Person B, who prefers to
keep quiet and leaves early?
If you said
Person A, you are probably more
extroverted（性格外向的）. If you said Person
B, you
are probably more introverted（内向的）. Or perhaps you
are Person C and fall somewhere
in the middle.
Introverted and extroverted people are two
commonly used words to describe
a person’s
personality. And they are also commonly misused
and misunderstood.
Introverts may be thought
as quiet, shy and timid. Extroverts may be thought
as bold,
confident, loud and full of energy.
Introverted and extroverted people may fit those
descriptions. But these same descriptions do
not define（下定义）introversion and
extroversion
properly.
Introverts and extroverts use their
brains differently, and they get their energy
differently. Introversion is the state of
being mostly concerned with one’s own mental
life. Extroversion is the opposite.
Extroversion is the state of being mostly
concerned
with what is outside oneself.
People who consider themselves introverts may say
they “need to be alone to charge
their
batteries”. However, introverts may still live
being social and going to parties.
But such
activities require time to prepare.
Extroverts may say, “I don’t need ‘alone time’, I
feel more relaxed being around
other people.”
Even so, extroverts can still feel unsure or not
confident among other
people.
So where do
you fall on the introversion extroversion chart?
88. If Person B is invited to a large
party, what does he probably do?
89. Which
three words in this passage are used to describe
introverts?
th
90. What’s the main idea of
the 5 paragraph?
91. What do “such activities”
refer to in paragraph 6?
92. How do extroverts
usually make themselves relaxed?
93. Which
personality do you prefer, introverted or
extroverted? Show your reason!
