第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最选项。
A
I had to knock on the taxi to get his attention. Finally, the driver, a man about 60, looked up from behind the wheel and apologized, “I’m sorry, but I was reading a letter.” He sounded as if he had a cold or a cough.
Since I was in no hurry, I told him to finish his letter. He shook his head, explaining that he had already read it several times and almost knew it by heart. Curious, I asked whether it was from a child or maybe a gra ndchild. “This isn’t family,” he replied, “though he might just as well have been a regular member of the family. Old Ed and I grew up together.”
They were always friends. But since he moved away from the neighborhood 30 years ago, it’d generally just been postcards at Christmas time between them. A couple of weeks ago, Ed died. “I should have kept in touch.” He repeated this, more to himself than to me. To comfort him, I said sometimes we just didn’t seem to find the time. “But we used to find the time,” he said. “Take a look.” He handed the letter over to me.
The first sentence “I’ve been meaning to write for some time, but I’ve always delayed it.” reminded me of myself. It went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together. When I read the part where it said “Your friendship really means a lot to me, more than I can say because I’m not good at saying things like that”, I found myself nodding in agreement.
We had gone several kilometers and were almost at my hotel, so I read the last paragraph: “So I thought you’d like to know that I was thinking of you.” And it was ended with “Your Old Friend, Tom.”
“I thought your friend’s name was Ed,” I said.
“I’m Tom,” he explained. “It’s a letter I wrote to Ed before I knew he’d died. I never put it in the mailbox. I guess I should have written it sooner.” His face was pale as he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.
When I got to my hotel room I didn’t unpack right away. I had to write a letter and post it.
56. Who wrote the letter?
A. Tom
B. Old Ed
C. The author
D. The driver’s grandchild

59. What message does the passage probably try to convey?

D. Always make time to value and experience your lasting friendships.
B
Snowflakes seem like white stars falling from the sky. But they don’t always look white. Sometimes they appear to have other colors. Some are red, yellow, or black. There have been snowflakes of almost every shape. Think how it would seem to have these coming all around you .Wouldn’t they look pretty?
Black snow came down in France one year. Another year grey snow fell in Japan. It was found that such snow was mixed with ashes. This made it seem dark. Red snow has come down in other countries .When this happened, it was mixed with red dust. That is why it looked different. Most snow looks white, but it is really the color of ice. It is ice that comes from snow clouds. Each snowflake begins with a small drop of water. More water forms around this drop. The way the water freezes gives the snowflake its shape.
No two snowflakes are of ever just the same size or shape. All start out flat and have six sides .Some snowflakes are broken when they hit the ground. Others melt as they fall. When air is cold and dry the falling snowflakes are small and hard. If the air is wet and warmer, the snowflakes are big and soft.

happened once in our country. It could occur again.

Willie Sutton, a once celebrated American criminal, was partly famous for saying he robbed banks because “that’s where the money is.” Actually, museums are where the money is. In a single gallery there can be paintings worth more, taken together, than a whole fleet of jets(机队). And while banks can hide their money in basements, museums have to put their valuables in plain sight.
Nothing could be worse than the thought of a painting as important as The Scream, Edvard Munch’s impressive image of a man screaming against the backdrop of a blood-red sky, disappearing into a criminal underworld that doesn’t care much about careful treatment of art works. Art theft is a vast problem around the world. As many as 10,000 precious items of all kinds disappear each year. And for smaller museums in particular, it may not be a problem they can
afford to solve. The money for insurance on very famous pictures would be budget destroyers even for the largest museums.
Although large museums have had their share of embarrassing robberies, the greatest problem is small institutions. Neither can afford heavy security. Large museums attach alarms to their most valuable paintings, but a modest alarm system can cost $500,000 or more. Some museums are looking into tracking equipment that would allow them to follow stolen items once they leave the museums. But conservators are concerned that if they have to insert something, it might damage the object. Meanwhile, smaller museums can barely afford enough guards, relying instead on elderly staff.
Thieves sometimes try using artworks as money for other underworld deals. The planners of the 1986 robbery of Russborough House near Dublin, who stole 18 paintings, tried in vain to trade them for Irish Republican Army members held in British prison. Others demand a ransom(赎金) from the museum that owns the pictures. Ten years ago, thieves in Trankfurt, Germany, made off with two major works by J.M.W.Turner from the Tate Gallery in London. The paintings, worth more than $80 million, were recovered in 2002 after the Tate paid more than $5 million to people having “information” about the paintings. Though ransom is illegal in Britain, money for looking into a case is not, provided that police agree the source of the information is unconnected to the crime. All the same, where information money ends and ransom begins is often a gray area.
68. In the first paragraph, the author introduced the topic by .
A. analyzing a problem
B. supporting an assumption
C. making a comparison
D. explaining a phenomenon
69. From Paragraph 2 , we can learn that .
A. artists are beginning to fight against robberies
B. smaller museums may be able to handle robberies
C. art criminals are aware of the importance of art conservation
D. most museums can not afford insurance on all valuable items
70. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that in Britain .
A. paintings can be used as money in foreign trade
B. the recent law can be taken advantage of for ransom
C. owners can lawfully get back lost items by paying ransom
D. the police can pay someone from inside a crime for information
71. Why did the author write the passage?
A. To warn criminals to respect and not to destroy the painting.
B. To supply advice on how to prevent future crimes of art theft.
C. To share awareness of art theft and the need for good security.
D. To remind museums to equip with more updated security systems.

How to Make the Most of Your Time
Time management is important in our daily life. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to accomplish all you need to do．Here are some tips that might be of some help to you ．
1. Set up a plan. Go for a week at a time, and prioritize the most important ones．Include things you want to accomplish. Focus mostly on the things that are important to you．
2. Control your stress．No matter what kind of pressure mounts on you, try to keep Cool. Stressing out can lead to an early breakdown, which is definitely counter-productive (事与愿违) when you have a list of things to do. It's easier to take a 10-minute break and cool off than work all week with built up stress．
3. Shut your door. When working under a schedule, perform your important tasks with your door shut to get them done. This will ensure a better quality time to get what needs to be done done．
4. Focus on one thing at a time. Forget trying to multi-task! You will lose concentration, and it will take you longer to accomplish what you set out to do．
5. Just say "no." If you are constantly interrupted, and you really don't have the time to help out, just say "no." You're only one person, and you can't save the world by yourself!
6．Stop wasting time on the phone．While talking on the phone, keep your conversations short,
and to the point and you'll waste much less time．
7. Be realistic. You can only do what you can do．Don't set out to accomplish the Impossible. Do your best, but keep realistic expectations of yourself．
8. Relax. The most important thing is to remember to take time to relax, and regroup. You need a break every now and then to keep working efficiently. Even if it's a 10-minute walk, get away from your list and get refreshed．
As families today get busier and busier, it's important to your own mental health to keep things on track. Don't delay; get your life in order now．
72. What does the underlined word “prioritize” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. choose something by thinking carefully
B. recognize the difference between things
C. put many things in order of importance
D. get rid of something that is unwanted
73. We should avoid stressing out because ______．
A. it may cause us to fail to work normally
B. it may limit the speed to get things done

Dear Mr. Smith
I’m terribly sorry to tell you that I will be unable to attend the outing that you have organized for us on Sunday morning, because I broke my fool yesterday afternoon when I was playing basketball with my classmates. The doctor advised me not to take any outdoor activity and stay in bad for some time till it recovers. It is a great play me to miss such a good chance to spend time with you. I would be very grateful if you could give me your kind understanding. And I
hope you all have a lot of fun.
Yours
