Childhood curiosity can last a lifetime and I learned this from my son, Bill. When he was very young, I often took him to the 21 . He loved to read and often needed to 22 the books he’d read in order to borrow more books. One unintended 23 of his nonstop reading habits was that he even 24 at the dinner table. His mother, Mary, and I did our best to 25 him that, on certain social 26 , reading while dining with others was not a good thing.
Every summer the teachers at his school 27 give the students a reading list, and there was a contest to see who could read the most books. He was so 28 , and he always wanted to win. And he often 29 . But the main reason why he read so obsessively (着迷地) was that he was so 30 . He didn’t just want to learn about 31 things. He wanted to learn about everything.
We helped 32 his curiosity in every way. 33 an unfamiliar word came up in conversation, we’d turn to the 34 , looking up the word, and reading the definition aloud. Thus my son came to realize that if you have a question, the 35 exists somewhere. All you have to do is 36 it.
Bill remains as much of a 37 today as when he was a child, and he seems to 38 everything he reads. He’s often 39 to share what he’s learned with the next person he meets. He 40 reads at the dinner table, though —which is a good thing because the books he’s attracted to now are increasingly unappetizing (引不起食欲的): The Eradication of Infectious Diseases, Mosquitoes, Malaria & Man, and Rats, Lice, and History.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题：每小题2分，满分40分）
（A）
The British policeman has several nicknames，but the most frequently used are “copper”and “bobby”。The first name comes from the verb “cop”meaning “to take” or “capture”，and the second comes from the first name of Sir Robert Peel，a 19th century politician，who was the founder of the police force．An early nickname for the policeman was “peeler”，but this name had died out．
Visitors to England seem，nearly always，to be very impressed by the English police．In fact，it has become a joke that the visitors to Britain，when asked for his views of the country，will always say，at some point or other，“I think your policemen are wonderful．” Well，the British bobby may not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful character．
A music-hall song of some years ago was called，“If you want to know the time，ask a policeman．”Nowadays，most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions to ask the policeman．In London，the policemen spend so much of their time directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else！
41．The British policeman has _______ nicknames mentioned in the passage．
A. five
B. two
C. three
D. ten
42．One of the nicknames for the policeman，“peeler” _______．

D．The British policeman helps people at any time．
（B）
Every culture has its own ideal of behavior，and the United States is no exception．In the United States，children are encouraged almost from birth to be open and direct．Americans think that openness is a sign of honesty，and they feel doubtful if you are unwilling to talk about what you feel and what you know．They feel threatened by silence，which they do not trust or understand．Many other cultures，however，do not value openness and directness highly．
In fact，they discourage these qualities because，to them，openness and directness seem rude，childish，and destructive（破坏性的）naive（天真）．They do not signify（意味着）adult behavior in their eyes．It is not surprising，then，that many cross-cultural misunderstandings have developed around openness and directness．
46．Openness and directness means _______ to Americans．
A．rude B．childish C．honesty D．naive
47．In many other cultures___________ is considered to be a good quality．
