(三)阅读理解(每小题2分,共30分)

A
In the United States, people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many other countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.
You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you something on the table, when someone opens the door for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It’s not polite to interrupt (打断) others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others.
Let’s all learn to say “Thank you” and “Excuse me”.
26. People say “Thank you” in the US and ________ countries.
A. some other B. all other C. the other
27. People usually say “Thank you” when ________.
A. someone opens the door for them
B. someone makes them unhappy
C. someone doesn’t pass them something
28. From the passage we know “Thank you” is ________.

Nowadays, more and more people like to travel in their holidays. The other day I read a report about the ways people spend their holidays. It is reported that in recent years several new holiday habits have developed. Among them, the most interesting one is the growth of holiday camps.
From the report we can see that in 1990, forty percent of people stayed at home for their holidays. But now the percentage has fallen to nine percent. More people go out for fun. People enjoy the fresh air, clean water and green hills when they go camping in the places far from the city. In 1990, thirty-eight percent of people spent their holidays visiting their relatives. Now the percentage has changed to sixteen percent. People like to do something different. What great changes!
But the report also shows that problems still exist (存在). For example, too many people crowded into places of interest in China. It causes a lot of trouble. The price of some travel things is too high. Many people use cars to travel. But too many cars bring more traffic problems.
33. In 1990, ________ of people stayed at home for their holidays.
A. 40% B. 38% C. 14%
34. The percentage of people visiting their relatives now is ________ than that in 1990.
A. more B. lower C. higher
35. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. More and more people like to travel in their holidays.
B. People enjoy the fresh air when they go camping.
C. No people use cars to travel.
36. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. How to Spend Holidays B. Holiday Habits in China C. Traveling Problems
D
Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career (职业) women are healthier than housewives. Evidence (证据) shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.
Besides, work gives one a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.
From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life.
37. The underlined word “average” in Paragraph 1 means ________.
A. ordinary B. healthy C. lazy
38. The reason why housewives are not as healthy as career women is that ________.
A. housewives are poorer than career women
B. housewives eat less food than career women
C. housewives have less chance to communicate with others
39. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?(P-Paragraph)
A. B. C.
40. The best title for this passage may be ________.
A. People Should Find a Job.
B. Working Hard Is Good for Health.
C. People Should Make More Friends by Work.

【解析】
【详解】句意:桌子上有一个苹果。这个苹果是红色的。
an不定冠词,表泛指,用于以元音音素开头的单词前;a不定冠词,表泛指,用于以辅音音素开头的单词前;the定冠词,表特指。第一个空,apple以元音音素开头,需用不定冠词an;第二个空,特指前文提到的苹果,需用定冠词the。
2. — ________ do you usually go to school? —By bike.
A. When B. How C. Where
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你通常怎么去学校?——骑自行车。
When什么时候,对时间提问;How怎样,对方式提问;Where哪里,对地点提问。根据答语“By bike”可知,是询问交通方式,应用How提问。
3. —Can you speak English?
—Yes, but only ________.
A. little B. a little C. few
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你会说英语吗?——是的,但只会一点。
little几乎没有;a little一点;few几乎没有。根据“English”是不可数名词,排除修饰可数名词的few;再根据“Yes”可知表示肯定含义,指会讲一点英语。应填a little。
4. This is my new friend. ________ name is Lucy.
A. She B. Her C. Hers
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:这是我的新朋友,她的名字是露西。
She她,人称代词主格;her她的,形容词性物主代词;hers她的,名词性物主代词。根据空后名词name可知,此处需用形容词性物主代词修饰,Lucy为女孩名,应用Her。
5. I ________ my homework when my mother came back yesterday evening.
A. was doing B. did C. am doing
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:昨天傍晚妈妈回来时,我正在做作业。
根据时间状语从句“when my mother came back yesterday evening”可知,从句动作发生在过去,主句强调当时正在进行的动作,应用过去进行时,结构为“was/were+现在分词”。主语是I,be动词用was,应填was doing。
6. He asked me ________ I could help him with his math.
A. that B. if C. what
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:他问我是否能在数学方面帮助他。
that连词,常用于引导从句;if是否,用于引导宾语从句;what什么,常在从句中作主语。根据“He asked me”可知,此处是宾语从句,他在征求我的同意,if在此处用于引导宾语从句,表示“是否”,符合语境。
7. We should ________ the old and offer our seats to them on buses.
A. laugh at B. worry about C. care for
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们应该关心老人,在公交车上给他们让座。
laugh at嘲笑;worry about担心;care for关心、照顾。根据“在公交车上给他们让座”的语境,此处表达“关心、照顾老人”的含义,因此用care for,符合语境。
8. —Would you like some more tea? —________, please.
A. No, thanks B. Just a little C. I’ve had enough
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:—你想再来点茶吗?—请来一点。
根据答语“Just a little”表示接受但数量不多,而“No more”和“I’ve had enough”均表示拒绝,应填Just a little。
9. There ________ a basketball game between Class 1 and Class 3 tomorrow.
A. is going to have B. will have C. is going to be
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:明天一班和三班之间将有一场篮球赛。
考查there be句型的一般将来时。根据“There...a basketball game between Class 1 and Class 3 tomorrow.”可知,此处是there be句型,不可与have同时使用,时态为一般将来时,结构为there will be或there is/are going to be。故选C。
10. — ________ fine day it is! Let’s go for a picnic. — Good idea.
A. What a B. How a C. What
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:—— 多么晴朗的一天啊!我们去野餐吧。——好主意。
what和how均可引导感叹句,what引导感叹句时,结构为What+(a/an) +形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语!;how引导感叹句时,结构为How+形容词/副词+主语+谓语! day是可数名词单数,fine以辅音音素开头,用What a;How后直接接形容词,不能接a;What后缺少冠词a。因此选What a。

In the United States, people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many other countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.
You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you something on the table, when someone opens the door for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It’s not polite to interrupt (打断) others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others.

Nowadays, more and more people like to travel in their holidays. The other day I read a report about the ways people spend their holidays. It is reported that in recent years several new holiday habits have developed. Among them, the most interesting one is the growth of holiday camps.
From the report we can see that in 1990, forty percent of people stayed at home for their holidays. But now the percentage has fallen to nine percent. More people go out for fun. People enjoy the fresh air, clean water and green hills when they go camping in the places far from the city. In 1990, thirty-eight percent of people spent their holidays visiting their relatives. Now the percentage has changed to sixteen percent. People like to do something different. What great changes!
But the report also shows that problems still exist (存在). For example, too many people crowded into places of interest in China. It causes a lot of trouble. The price of some travel things is too high. Many people use cars to travel. But too many cars bring more traffic problems.

Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career (职业) women are healthier than housewives. Evidence (证据) shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.
Besides, work gives one a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.
From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life.
37. The underlined word “average” in Paragraph 1 means ________.
A. ordinary B. healthy C. lazy
38. The reason why housewives are not as healthy as career women is that ________.
A. housewives are poorer than career women
B. housewives eat less food than career women
C. housewives have less chance to communicate with others

A. B. C.
40. The best title for this passage may be ________.
A. People Should Find a Job.
B. Working Hard Is Good for Health.
C. People Should Make More Friends by Work.
【答案】37. A 38. C 39. B 40. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了经研究证实,勤奋工作有益健康,工作能让人远离孤独、获得成就感,越努力工作的人往往越快乐、越健康。
【37题详解】
根据文章第一段“Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. ”可知,这里将努力工作的人和普通的人做对比, average意思是“普通的、一般的”,对应ordinary。
【38题详解】
根据文章第二段“Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. ”可知,职业女性通过工作和他人交流,而家庭主妇缺少这样的交流机会。
【39题详解】
通读全文可知,P1:提出论点:工作有益健康;P2:解释第一个原因:工作让人远离孤独;P3:解释第二个原因:工作带来成就感、价值感; P4:总结全文,呼应论点。 所以结构是总(P1)—分(P2、P3)—总(P4)。
【40题详解】
全文围绕“工作对健康的好处”展开,核心论点是work is helpful to health,最佳标题是Working Hard Is Good for Health。
