A3D cinema has been around since the early 20th century, but Hollywood brought the technology back In 2007. Many thought it was just a trick to make more money. But then came Avatar, the first must-see movie in 3D.But since Avatar, 3D cinema has struggled. In 2010, several 3D movies bombed at the box office. And by late 2010, Some people said the technology was dead. Of course, this isn’t the first time Hollywood has struggled with new technology. Although sound was added to movies in the late 1920s, it took audiences time to get used to the new technology. But in the end, sound and color became the standard. James Cameron, director of Avatar, thinks we’re going t hrough the same process with 3D.Some say cinemas are charging too much for 3D movies. In the US, seeing a 3D movie can cost up to $7.5 more than seeing it in 2D. Also, a recent study at California State University found audiences don’t actually enjoy movi es in 3D any more than in 2D. Walter Murch , a famous movie editor, wrote in 2011 that human beings have no ability to process 3D images. Watching a 3D movie confuses our brain and this is why some people get headaches.But James Cameron disagrees. In fact, he recently predicted that in five years all movies will be in 3D. And there are signs that 3D is fighting back. More 3D movies were put on the market in 2012 than ever before. The Lion King 3D recently made over US $150 million at the box office, and Ca meron’s Titanic 3D made even more.Who knows what the future holds for 3D? Steven Spielberg recently said, ‘Tm hoping 3D gets to a point where people dorft notice it. Because then it just becomes another tool and helps tell a story.”46. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means that in 2010, 3D movies______ A．were not successful B．became popularC．developed quickly D．were of poor quality47. The example of sound and color is used mainly to show that______.A．Hollywood tends to absorb what is newB．3D technology takes time to be acceptedC．Hollywood struggles with new technologyD．high technology helps to make better movies48. In Walter Murch7S opinion, 3D movies______.A．bring moviemakers great profitsB．are more expensive than 2D moviesC．d o great harm to people’s healthD．are unsuitable for people to watchBThe forces that make Japan one of the world's most earthquake-prone（有地震倾向的）countries could become part of its long-term energy solution．Water from deep below the ground at Japan's tens of thousands of hot springs could be used toproduce electricity．Although Japanese high-tech companies are leaders in geothermal（地热的）technology and export it, its use is limited in the nation．"Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy," said Yoshiyasu Takefuji, a leading researcher of thermal-electric power production．The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 caused a reaction against atomic power, which previously made up 30 percent of Japan's energy needs, and increased interest in alternative energies, which account for only 8 percent．Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy, following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 percent of its needs．For now, geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan, which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power．The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories．Another problem is that Japan's potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden．"We can't even dig 10cm inside national parks．" said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric, adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow．Researcher Hideaki Matsui said, "Producing electricity using hot springs is a decades-long project．We also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decline in the short term．"The Earth Policy Institute in Washington, US, believed Japan could produce 80,000 megawatts （兆瓦）and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology．Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology, with a 70 percent market share．In 2010, Fuji Electric built the world's largest geothermal factory in New Zealand．49. What would be the best title for the text?A．Alternative energies in JapanB．World's largest geothermal plantC．Japan takes the lead in geothermal technologyD．Japan thinks of geothermal energy50. What percentage of Japan's energy needs is geothermal energy?A．About 8%．B．Below 1%．C．Around 30%． D．Over 80%．51. According to Shigeto Yamada, the growth of geothermal power in Japan needs ____．A．a change of rules B．financial supportC．local people's help D．high technology52. Geothermal energy is considered as a long-term program by _____．A．Yoshiyasu Takefuji B．Hideaki MatsuiC．Shigeto Yamada D．Yoko OnoCDoctors sometimes prescribe light therapy to treat a form of depression in people who get too little morning sun. But too much light at other times may actually cause such mood disorders. Long-lasting exposure to light at night brings depression, a new study finds, at least in animals. The new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut Health Center. Mood disorders join a growing list ofproblems, including cancer, obesity and diabetes——that can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms.In the new study, Tracy Bedrosian and Randy Nelson of Ohio State University exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks. For the next four weeks, half of the mice remained on this schedule, and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their night. Compared with mice exposed to normal nighttime darkness, those getting dim light at night lost their strong preference for sweet drinks，“ a sign they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once enjoyed，” Bedrosian says.In a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water. Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water, a sign of “behavioral despair”，10 times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime darkness. All symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normal light-dark cycle, the researchers report. The scientists also could quash the behavioral symptoms by injecting (注射)the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with human depression. This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.Human studies linking nighttime light and mood disorders are important but can’t easily detect molecular underpinnings (分子基础)as animal studies can，says George Brainard of Thomas Jefferson University. The new work, he says, suggests that the change of the biological clock by light at night can be “an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behavior. ”53.After being exposed to continuous nighttime light，the mice _____.A. changed their preferencesB. escaped from the water more eagerlyC. remained active as beforeD. showed less interest in their favorites54.What does the underlined word “quash” in Para. 4 probably mean?A. studyB. predictC. easeD. cause55.We can learn from the last paragraph that _____.A. light at night may have practical valueB. the biological clock is beneficial to humansC. human mood disorders cannot be healed easilyD. human studies are more important than animal studies56.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Nighttime light may foster depression.B. A drug has been found to cure mood disorders.C. The study on animals can be applied to humans.D. Human biological clock can be controlled by light.DHoused in Milan, one of Europe’s dirtiest cities, Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece The Last Supper still faces a threat from air pollution, researchers say, despite preventative measures that have significantly decreased pollutants in the church where the famous painting is on display.In 2009, Italian authorities installed a heating, ventilation (通风) and air-conditioning system to protect the painting from Milan’s polluted air. To see whether the system could improve air quality, a team of researchers led by Constantinos Sioutas, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Southern California, placed two air-quality monitors inside the church for a year to collect samples from around the painting. Results showed the levels of fineand coarse particulates were reduced near the painting by 88 per cent and 94 per cent, respectively, compared with the corresponding outdoor levels. “It’s a spectacular reduction,” Sioutas said in a statement. “It is, frankly, very impressive.”Although the researchers applauded the successful decrease in particulates around the da Vinci painting, they warned that indoor sources of pollution may still pose a threat to the priceless painting. Fatty lipids(油脂) from the skin of customers in the church appeared in significant quanti ties around the painting, despite the fact that visitors getting access to the artwork are strictly regulated.Only a few visitors are allowed inside the church at a time, and they enter the building and can stay for only 15 minutes each. However, fatty lipids from visitors’ skin can combine with dust in the air and pollute the painting if they come in contact with it, said study researcher Nancy Daher of the University of Southern California.Even previous restorations of the painting may pollute its surface, Daher said. Tiny particulates of the wax applied during early repair efforts can be emitted from the painting, get into the air and tarnish (使失去光泽) the painting in the same manner as the fatty lipids.The researchers noted that their air-sample analysis could be used as a point of reference for future studies aimed at protecting valuable artwork and artifacts.57. What does the underlined word “particulates” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. The smallest parts of a chemical substance.B. Things dirtier than usual.C. Certain types of gas.D. Extremely small pieces of dirt, which cause serious pollution.58. According to the text, the following factors pollute the painting EXCEPT .A. fatty lipids from the skinB. tiny particles of the waxC. breath of the visitorsD. dust in the air59. According to the researchers, which of the following is NOT true of their air-sample analysis?A. The air-sample analysis was got by gathering air in the church for a year.B. The air-sample analysis showed that the painting is completely away from air pollution.C. The air-sample analysis can be helpful for future studies protecting valuable artwork.D. The air-sample analysis showed that the particulates around the da Vinci painting weredecreasedsuccessfully.60. What can be the best title of the text?A. How to decrease levels of particulates effectivelyB. The famous painting —da Vinci’s The Last SupperC. Keeping air pollution from damaging da Vinci’s The Last Suppe rD. How to protect artwork in households第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从下框的A～F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。

ARuben lived in a small village. There was no school there and he had to study in a school in the town. It was nearly five kilometers away from his village. His father couldn’t buy a bike for him and he had to go to school on foot. He got up early in the morning. Usually he had to run there in order not to miss the first class. He kept running every day and it was helpful to him. He’s strong and tall now and he runs faster than any other man in his village. He took part in several sports meetings and won some medals. The young man is proud of it and always wants to have a race with others.One day his mother was ill and his father told him to buy some medicine for headache in the town. The young man got there soon. There were many people in the chemist’s shop while he was waiting there. And when his tur n came, he couldn’t find his money. An old woman hinted(暗示) a young man had stolen it. He saw the thief had already left the shop. He ran towards him quickly. The thief found it and began to run. He was happy and tried to catch up with him.“Let’s have a race and see who will run faster,” Ruben called out behind.Soon after that he caught up with the thief. But the didn’t stop and went on running. At a crossing one of his friend asked.“What are you running for, Ruben?”“I’m running after(追) a thief.”“Where’s the thief, then?”“He wants to show that he’ll run faster than I , but he’s fallen behind!”46.,so he won some medals.A. Ruben was good at runningB. Ruben went to school on timeC. Ruben often took part in the sports meetingsD. Ruben liked to have a race with others47.The underlined phrase “chemis t’s shop” in the story means .A. 化工商店B. 药店C. 化工厂D.制药厂48.Ruben’s money was stolen .A. on his way to the townB. before he went in the shopC. when he was waiting in the shopD. after he had left the shop49.Ruben was happy because .A. he could easily catch the thiefB. he had a chance(机会) to have araceC. he knew who had stolen his moneyD. he would win another medalthat dayBAfter spending three days in a wheelchair, I was ready to quit.Not only did I have to battle cracked(裂缝的) and uneven(不平的) pavements, I had to deal with the bad attitude of pedestrians(行人)and a cold rain. But I didn’t give up because of people like Tiffany Payne.Payne, who has been using a wheelchair for 18 years, laughed at me:“Imagine trying to get around town in the winter,” she said.I could see her point: You’re battling to get to a doctor’s appointment(预约), but no one has shoveled（铲）after a big snowfall. Your choices: Move out and risk getting stuck, or reschedule the appointment.Those of us fortunate enough to get around on our own two legs don’t give a second thought to the person in a wheelchair next to us at a crosswalk. That would require us to look down.So I decided to try using a wheelchair to get a sample of what their lives are like. It wasn’t long before I saw that people who use wheelchairs are forced to deal with a lot of trouble.During my experiment, I was ignored by store staff while shopping and bumped into by inattentive(疏忽的)walkers without so much as an apology. Some people even gave me angry looks as if I were the one at fault.Once in a store, a woman bumped into me trying to get to the new iPad. She didn’t say, “Excuse me.”When salespeople did offer assistance, they talked to people who were with me, instead of me. I wanted to yell, “Hey, I’m down here!”Some salespeople talked to me as though I were a child or acted like they didn’t want to be bothered with me.People who use wheelchairs want to be treated like everyone else. They also comprehend(理解), so you don’t have to speakto them in a childlike ,sing-song voice.I t’s not very appealing(吸引人的), especially when the person is an adult. And most importantly , remember they have feelings that can be hurt just like yours.Spending three days in a wheelchair made me look differently at those who have to use one. I hope you do the same.50.The author writes the story to .A. help those in wheelchairs gain self-confidenceB. share his experience of acting as a wheelchair userC. ask people to show sympathy for these in wheelchairsD. call on people to respect and help those in wheelchairs51.During his three days in a wheelchair, the author met all of the followingdifficulties EXCEPT .A. bad road conditionB. poor attitudes of ordinary peopleC. terrible medical serviceD. bad weather52.What can we conclude from the article?A. A wheelchair user may feel offended when you do not speak to him or herdirectly.B. Assistants in big stores are usually kind to people in wheelchairs.C. People in wheelchairs should fight for fair treatment.D. People in wheelchairs are usually hard to get along with.53.Which of the following statements would the author agree to?A. Look down on a person in a wheelchair.B. Speak to a person in a wheelchair in a sing-song voice.C. Treat a person in a wheelchair as you would treat any other person.D. Offer assistance to a person in a wheelchair without asking for permission.CA famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ￥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ￥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.Then he said, “I am going to give this ￥100 bill to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.“Well,” he said, “What if I do this? “ and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?”Hands went back into t he air.“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter(无论) what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value(价值). It was still worth ￥100!”Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled ,and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you , you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE.You are special and valuable. Don’t ever forget it!54.Even though it was dirty, the money .A. still went up in valueB. was worth muchC. didn’t go down in valueD. was still ours55.We are always valuable to the people .A. who live with usB. who educate usC. who care about usD. who study with us56.The underlined sentence “Hands went back into the air” means .A. the students put up their hands againB. the students put down their handsC. the students agreed to what the teacher saidD. the students put their hands in front of them57.Why did the famous teacher use a ￥100 bill at his lesson?A. Because he wanted to make the bill into a ball.B. Because he used to drop a bill on the floor and step on it.C. Because he was going to give the bill to one of the students.D. Because he wanted to make the students know what value was.DPeople who like traveling have their reasons. They believe that traveling can help them expand their field of view, especially in the geographical and historical sense. They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities. But those who dislike traveling also have some reasons.Traveling, in my opinion, does more good than harm. Mostimportantly, it broadens(使扩大) our mind. We can get in touch with other civilizations(文明), cultures, customs and ideas.Through history, most people traveled because of necessity(必要性)-not for pleasure. People traveled just in order to remain alive. They searched for food to eat or places to live. They sometimes ran away from enemies. This is not to say that no one ever traveled just for the fun of it. In ancient times, for example, rich Romans traveled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and festivals. Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity(好奇心). They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon(地平线). Also business travel has been going on for centuries. Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.So, traveling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from it.58.The underlined word “expand” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by ““.A. widenB. protectC. loseD. decide59.According to the passage, in the past most people traveled .A. for funB. for knowledgeC. to get experiencesD. to make a living60.How many reasons for traveling are mentioned in Paragraph 3?A.

对口高考英语模拟题库：阅读理解阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AThe clothes you wear. The food you eat. The color of your bedroom walls. Where you go and how you get there. The people you hang around with. What time you go to bed. What do th ese things have in common? You’re asking. They’re just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child.As a kid, you didn’t have a say in everything; your parents made decisions about everything from the cereal you ate in the morning to the pajamas you wore at night. And it’s a good thing, too—kids need this kind of protection on their own.But finally, kids grow up and become teens. And part of being a teen is developing your own identity—one that i s separate from your parents’. But as you change and grow into this new person who makes his own decisions, your parents have a difficult time adjusting (调整).In most families, it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. And issues like the type of friends you have or your attitudes to partying can cause bigger arguments, because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are.The good news about fighting with your parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions. It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though. In the meantime, focus on communicating with your parents.Sometimes this can feel impossible—like they just don’t see your point of view and never will. But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents.Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what you’re going through.36. In the first two paragraphs, the writer .A. complains that parents control kids too muchB. proves that kids have no right to give their opinionsC. describes how carefully parents look after kidsD. explains that it is necessary for parents to control kids37. A lot of fighting breaks out between teens and parents because .A. parents aren’t used to losing control of kidsB. teens like to have everything decidedC. parents blame teens for not respecting themD. teens are eager to develop their own identity38. In the writer’s opinion, parents control teens in order to .A. prevent them from having their own ideasB. protect them from being hurtC. make them respect parents in the familyD. make sure that children have a good future39. The underlined word “this” in paragraph 6 may refer to “”.A. arguing with friendsB. fighting with your parentsC. communicating with parentsD. adjusting to new roles40. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. What do parents control their children for?B. How parents take care of children?C. How to get rid of your parents’ control?D. Why do I fight with parents so much?BThe invention of the camera goes far into the past. In the 1500s, men were experimenting with cameras that made images. But it was not until the early 1800s that man found a way to make the pictures permanent. Even then, photography was a new field. Most families had their pictures taken by a photographer. People did not own cameras because taking pictures and developing the film were too difficult.In 1884, George Eastman changed photography by inventing a kind of film that fit into a small camera. Because the new film was easy to use, many people began to buy cameras. When they had used up their film, people returned their cameras to the factory. There, the film was developed, and pictures were printed. Then more film was put into the cameras, which was sent back to the owners, along with their pictures.Eastman’s camera made it easy to take pictures. Today’s cameras are even easier to use, and people can put in their own film. Photography has become a growing hobby.There are also many new jobs in the field of photography. One of the most important kinds of work is in news reporting. Newspapers, magazines, and television all need pictures to tell their stories. Photographers aid scientists by taking pictures through microscopes and telescopes. Deep-sea divers take pictures of ocean plants and animals, while astronauts take cameras into space. Man finds new uses for the cameras every day.41. In 1884, George Eastman changed photography by inventing a new kind of _____.A. imageB. factoryC. filmD. camera42. Long ago, people sent their cameras to a factory because _______.A. they wanted to have the cameras cleanedB. they wanted their film developedC. they broke their cameras when taking picturesD. they wanted to have their pictures taken by a photographer43.

There are different kinds of cameras.D. Early man found a way to make photographers aid scientists.CWe now think of chocolate as sweet, but once it was bitter. We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it is an ingredient in the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers.Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree, The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say“Ugh！”and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.The word“chocolate”comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to make a drink.When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. No one had the idea of adding sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes. Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for digestion.In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugraremoved the bitter taste of cacao. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterwards, a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together. People liked the taste of mike chocolate even better.Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip cookie. Favorite desserts are chocolate cream pie and of course an ice cream sundae with hot fudge sauce.46. It was that discovered sugar could remove the bitter taste of cacao.A.the workers in the chocolate factoryB.the SpaniardsC.the owner of a chocolate factoryD.the people in England47. According to the passage which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Nobody had the idea of adding sugar into cacao until the sixteenth century.B.The word“chocolate”comes from a Mexi can word.C.Workers must dry and roast the beans to remove the bitter taste.D.The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys like them.48. The Spaniards thought that cacao was a medicine because .A.it was good for digestionB.it was strong and bitterC.it cured man’s diseasesD.it was a kind of drink for good health49. Which is the right time order of the events regarding chocolate?a.Chocolate became a cheap and popular drink in England.b.A factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate.c.The Spaniards started drinking cacao.d.It was found that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao.e.A factory mixed milk and chocolate together.A.c-d-a-b-eB.c-d-e-b-aC.a-b-c-d-eD.c-d-b-e-a50. It can be learned from the passage that .A.the Mayas only used cacao beans for drinking in MexicoB.chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or a candy bar.C.chocolate is a product of the cacao treeD.people liked more the taste of solid blocks of sweetened chocolate than that ofchocolate mixed with milkDI travel a lot, and I find out different "styles" (风格) of directions every time 1 ask "How can I get to the post office?"Foreign tourists are often confused (困惑) in Japan because most streets there don't have names in Japan. People use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop."In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. "How far away is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it's about five minutes from here." You say, "Yes, but how many miles away is it?" They don't know.It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, 'Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know." People in Yucatan believe that "I don't know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!51. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the placeC. tell him the names of the streetsD. refer to recognizable buildings and places52. What is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York.B. Los Angeles.C. Kansas.D. Iowa.53. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________A. in order to save timeB. as a testC. so as to be politeD. for fun54. Which sentence is true according to the text?A. There is no street names in Japan.B. There is no landmarks in the countryside of American.C. People in Yucatan always give wrong answers when asked the way.D. People in Los Angeles measure distance in time, not miles when asked the way.55. What can we infer from the text?A. It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B. It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C. People have similar (相似的) understandings of politeness.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.阅读理解36-55 DABCD CBAAC CCBAB DBCDA。

When he got home, he went upstairs to his bedroom and put them on. He found that they were about two inches too long.He came downstairs, where his mother and his two sisters were washing some things in the kitchen. "These new trousers are too long. " He said. "They need shortening by about two inches. Would one of you mind doing this for me, please?" His mother and sisters were busy and noneof them said anything.But as soon as his mother had finished washing up, she went quietly upstairs to her son's bedroom and shortened the trousers by two inches. She came downstairs without saying anything to her daughters.Later on, after supper, the elder sister remembered her brother's trousers. She was a kind-hearted girl, so she went quietly upstairs without saying anything to anyone, and shortened the trousers by two inches.The younger sister went to the cinema, but when she came back, she, too, remembered what her brother had said. So she ran upstairs and took two inches off the legs of the new trousers.41.

The next morning the young man would find the trousers were ______ than his size.A. two inches shorterB. four inches shorterC. six inches shorterD. eight inches shorterBFive years ago, David Smith wore an exp ensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes — khaki pants and a sports shirt — to the office. He hardly eve r wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday.This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an ever yday thing,” said business adviser Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people do n't want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suitsare expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”46. David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict” because ___________.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldn't stand a clean appearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look tidy and clean all the timeD. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes47. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because ______________.A. they make him feel at ease when workingB. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks handsome in casual clothesD. he no longer works for any company48. According to this passage, which of the following is FALSE?A. Many workers don’t like a conservative dress code.B. Comfortable clothes make workers more productive.C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young workers.D. All the employers in the U.S. are for casual office wear.49. According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.50. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT______________.A. saving worker’s moneyB. making workers more attractiveC. improving worker’s feelingD. making workers happierIII. 英译汉（共5小题，每小题4分，共20分）51 We should make a good use of spare time.52.
