Ⅰ.阅读理解AThree engineers and three accountants (会计) are traveling by train to a conference.At the station，the three accountants each buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket.“How are three people going to travel on only one ticket？”asks an accountant.“Watch and you’ll see，”answers an engineer.They all board the train.The accountants take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them.Shortly after the train has departed，the conductor comes around collecting tickets.He knocks on the restroom door and says，“Ticket，please.” The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand.The conductor takes it and moves on.The accountants see this and agree it is quite a clever idea.So after the conference，the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money.When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip.To their astonishment，the engineers don’t buy a ticket at all.“How are you going to travel without a ticket？”asks one puzzled accountant.“Watch and you’ll see，”answers an engineer.When they board the train the three accountants cram into a restroom and the three engineers cram into another one nearby.The train departs.Shortly afterward，one of the engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the accountants are hiding.He knocks on the door and says，“Ticket，please.”1．The three engineers buy only a single ticket because________.A．only one of them need buy a ticketB．the three accountants buy tickets for themC．they just want to save moneyD．they are too poor to buy more tickets答案 C解析 细节理解题。

Ⅱ.阅读理解AHow far would you be willing to go to satisfy your need to know？Far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease？These days that’s more than an academic question，as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story.There are now more than a thousand genetic(基因的) tests，for everything from baldness to breast cancer，and the list is growing.Question is，do you really want to know what might eventually kill you？For instance，Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson，one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup，is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症)．“If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease，that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious，through which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you.It could really mess you up.” said Dr.Robert Green，a Harvard geneticist.“Every ache and pain，” Smith suggested，could be understood as “the beginning of the end.”“That’s right.If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimer’s disease，then every time you can’t find your car in the parking lot，you think the disease has started.”Dr.Green has been thinking about this issue for years.He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s.It was thought that people who got bad news would，for lack of a better medical term，freak_out.But Green and his team found that there was “no significant difference” between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives.In fact，most people think they can handle it.People who ask for the information usually can handle the information，good or bad，said Green. 1．The first paragraph is meant to________.A．ask some questionsB．introduce the topicC．satisfy readers’ curiosityD．describe an academic fact答案 B解析在第一段中通过两个问题引出本文要谈论的话题。
