第三部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）
第一节阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too thrilled to believe her. Her words could not convince me at all. So I did a research on google. com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see”. This sentence has been widely used in emails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible place. Though it is a sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Ironically, if you type this phrase in Microsoft W ord, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie
Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood movie makers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long t ime no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars refer America as a huge pot of stew. All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together, and they change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic (少数民族的成员) group in the United States, is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.
Y ou can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese, such as pizza from Italian, susi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others. They will modify it and make it their own, so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant, or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store. Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more today, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor.
56. The writer himself felt surprised at _________.
A. reading “Long time no see”
B. knowing the expression is standard American English
C. seeing the literal translation of the expression
D. finding out Americans use the expression every day
57. The word “trademark” in the third paragraph means _________.
A. design of a manufacture’s (制造) goods
B. Confucius’ words
C. Charlie Chan’s creation
D. representative (代表) of Charlie Chan
58. According to the passage, it can be inferred that _________.
A. Charlie Chan made the phrase “Long time no see”
B. Hollywood made “Long time no see” popular
C. the huge pot of stew changes all kinds of culture
D. all kinds of culture can be changed in the huge pot of stew
59. The main idea of the last paragraph is that _________.
A. some other examples are introduced into English
B. y ou’ll be surprised to find a tofu in a restaurant in America
C. there used to be iced Chinese tea with honey in a grocery store
D. American English should be enriched from different cultures
60. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A. Informal language sometimes doesn’t go with grammar and structure.
B. Language in Microsoft system is ruled by grammar and structure.
C. “Long time no see” has been used in at least four media mentioned in the passage.
D. There are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the American stew.
B
All over the world, and for many different reasons, there are millions of people who rarely or never eat meat. These people are called vegetarians. To people who eat meat, being a vegetarian may seem like a very strange thing, but most vegetarians are very happy with their choice of diet. They choose such diets for several different reasons.
First, vegetarians have an enormous health advantage. One of the major health problems in modern societies is not too little protein but too much food, especially in the form of animal fats. Medical evidence suggests that animal fats, including butter, contribute to the development of cholesterol (胆固醇) in the human body. High amounts of cholesterol seem to be part of the cause of heart disease. Most vegetarians have low levels of cholesterol. High amounts of animal fats also seem to lead to certain kinds of cancer, and vegetarians are typically less vulnerable to these cancers than people who eat a lot of meat. Overall, studies on the health of vegetarians and meat-eaters show that the meat-eaters are twice as likely to die of heart disease as vegetarians are.
Better health is one reason that people choose to become vegetarians. Another reason is religion. Some religions forbid the eating of meat. The largest of these is the Hindu religion, which has about 600 million believers in the world. Although not all Hindus are vegetarians, many are, and there are many believers of other religions such Buddhism and even some Christian religions who also do not eat meat.
Many vegetarians do not eat meat simply because they do not like the taste of it. They have no religious or philosophical reasons; they just do not like meat. Another important reason that vegetarians give for not eating meat is the health advantages that were given above. Lastly, there are many people who do not eat meat because they just do not like the idea of killing animals for food. They believe that life, all life, is valuable, and that we do not have to destroy life to feed ourselves when there are other good sources of food.
61. According to the passage, people choose to be vegetarians for the following reasons
EXCEPT that _________.
A. they want to stay healthy
B. they are too kind to put the idea of killing animals
C. they live in areas where meat supply is not adequate (enough)
D. they should not eat meat due to their religious belief
62. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?
A. V egetarians enjoy a more healthy life than the meat eaters.
B. Heart disease and cancer are caused by large amounts of protein.
C. There are twice as many meat-eaters as vegetarians who die of cancer.
D. There are fewer health problems in modern society due to advanced medical care.
63. Which is TRUE about the vegetarians?
A. V egetarians never eat meat for whatever reasons.
B. There are more vegetarians than meat-eaters in the world.
C. V egetarians cannot eat meat because of their health problems.
D. Some vegetarians cannot get used to eating meat because of the taste.
*64. What does “vulnerable” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Having low level of cholesterol.
B. Having weak ability to resist diseases and harms.
C. Having high level of cholesterol.
D. Having strong ability to resist diseases and harms. *65. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. being a vegetarian may be a very strange thing
B. vegetarians eat meat on some special occasions
C. all vegetarians have reasons for their not eating meat
D. most vegetarians believe that life without meat is happy
C
When I come across a good essay in reading newspapers, I often feel like cutting and keeping it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the opposite side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to keep in good health, or advice about how to be oneself in society. If I cut the front essay, the opposite one is bound to suffer damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text without the subject. As a result, the scissors would stay before they start, or halfway done when I find out the result that inevitably causes my regret.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both deserving (worthy) your attention. Y ou can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be given up. But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left behind. Thus you are caught in a fix and feel sad. How come that nice opportunities and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life changes dramatically on your preference of one alternative (choice) to the other.
In fact that is what life is like: we are often faced with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only after we take up another. The former may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I still remember a philosopher’s (哲学家) remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a passive choice may n ot be a bad one.
Whatever we do in our lifetime, wherever life’s stor m makes us go, there must be something we can achieve, some shore we can land on. Don’t forget God always keeps an alternative door open for every one. While the front door is closed, there must be another open for you.
66. The main idea of the passage is ________.
A. where there is a will, there is a way
B. cutting newspapers gives us a lesson
C. all roads lead to Rome
D. an equal chance is provided for everyone
67. After reading the passage, we may know the writer is a person of ________.
A. observation
B. curiosity
C. encouragement
D. consideration
*68. The word “fix” in “you are caught in a fix” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. difficult situation
B. your preference of one choice
C. what is left behind
D. two things are to be done at the same time
*69. The underlined part in the passage tells us_______.
A. life is like cutting newspapers
B. we can’t kill two birds with one stone
C. it is often difficult to make a choice in our life
D. life sometimes changes completely
*70. Which of the statements below is TRUE to the passage?
A. Cutting newspapers is a hard job.
B. When you are caught in a fix, you have met two good things.
C. There must be a way that is better than the other.
D. Y ou should maintain a positive attitude towards your choice.

选修6 Unit 1 Art-Reading A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones, starting from the sixth century AD. The Middle Ages (5th to the 15th century AD) During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way. The Renaissance (15th to 16th century) During the Renaissance, new ideas and values graduallv replaced those held in the Middle Ages.People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess t heir own paintings, so they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements. One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the roles of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence, oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous. Impressionism (late 19th to early 20th century) In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal. from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes. Naturally, these changes also led to new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worked in Paris.

西方绘画艺术简史 艺术是受一个民族的风俗和信仰影响。西方艺术风格经历了多次变革。因为西方艺术多种多样，在短短的一篇课文里不可能进行全面的描述。因此，本书只谈及从公元六世纪开始以来最重要的几种艺术风格。 中世纪(5到15世纪) 在中世纪时期,画家的主要目的是把宗教主题表现出来。这一时期传统的艺术家无意于如实地展现自然和人物。这时的典型绘画充满了宗教的特征，体现出了对上帝的爱戴和敬重。但是，13世纪时绘画观念在改变是显而易见的，像乔托这样的画家开始以一种更现实的方式来画宗教场景。 文艺复兴时期（15世纪到16世纪） 在文艺复兴时期,新的思想和价值观逐渐取代了中世纪的思想和价值观。人们开始较少关注宗教主题而采取一种更人性化的生活态度。同时画家们回到罗马、希腊的古典艺术理念上。他们力争如实画出人物和自然。富人们想拥有自己的艺术品，这样就可以装饰自己的高级宫殿和豪宅。他们出价聘请著名艺术家不仅让他们画他们的活动和成就，还要他们画自己的肖像、房子和所有物。 在此期间，最重要的发现之一就是如何用透视法来画出事务。这一手法是1428年由马萨乔第一次使用的。当人们第一次看到他的画时，还以为是透过墙上的小洞来观看真实的场景，并对此深信不疑。如果没有发现透视法，就没有人能画出如此逼真的画。巧合的是，这一时期油画颜料也得到了发展，使得绘画的色彩看上去更丰富、更深沉。没有新的颜料和新的手法，我们就不能看到很多使这一时期著名的杰作。 印象派(19世纪后期到20世纪初期) 19世纪后期，欧洲发生了巨大的变化，从以农业为主的社会转变成了以工业为主的社会。许多人从农村迁入到新城市。有许多新发明和社会变革。这些变革也自然地促成了新的绘画风格。在那些突破传统画法的画家中有生活和工作在法国巴黎的印象派画家。 印象派画家是第一批室外写景的画家。他们急切地想把一天中不同时间投射到物体上的光线和阴影呈现出来。然而由于自然光的变化很快，印象派画家们必须很快地作画，因此，他们的画就不像以前那些画家们的画那样细致了。起初，很多人不喜欢这种画法，甚至还怒不可遏。他们说这些画家作画时漫不经心，粗枝大叶，而他们的作品更是荒谬可笑。 现代艺术(20世纪到今天) 在印象派作品的创建初期，他们是存在着争议的，但是如今已经被人们接受而成为我们现在所说的“现代艺术”的始祖了。这是因为印象派鼓励画家用一种崭新的视角看待他们的环境。如今，现代艺术风格有好几十种，然而如果没有印象派，那么这许多不同的风格也许就不可能存在。一方面，有些现代艺术是抽象的，也就是说，画家并不打算把我们眼睛看到的东西如实地画出来，而是集中展现物体的某些品质特征，用色彩、线条和形状把它们呈现出来。而另一方面，有些现代派的艺术作品却是那么真实，看上去就像是照片。这些风格如此不同。谁能预言将来会有什么样的绘画风格？

Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worked in Paris. The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. They were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light changes so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their paintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At first, many people disliked this style of painting and became very angry about it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous. Modern Art(29th century to today) At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepted as the beginning of what we call "modern art".
