第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题; 每小题2分, 满分40分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给各项的四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
(A)
Some English words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings and different endings, such as import, export, report and transport. All these words, you can see, have the same root “port”, which comes from the Latin word, meaning “to carry” or “to move” from one place to another. And according to the difference at the beginning which we call the prefix, the meaning changes: “import” means“to carry in”, or “to bring into a country”, “export”, “ex” means “out of”, so this word means “to carry out of a country,” “re” means “back”, so the word “report” means“to tell somebody, to bring back information to somebody”, “transport”, “trans” means “across” and it means “to carry across one place to another.”
Lets look at the following words: supporter, reporter, importer and exporter. You can see that in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs. Adding a suffix “er” to a verb means a person who does this thing. So supporter means somebody who supports. Importer is somebody who imports and exporter is somebody who exports, and so on.
56. “Some English words are made up of the same part…” in the
sentence “part” means ____.
A. different beginnings and different endings
B. the same part which has several meanings
C. the root of a word
D. the same root which has different meanings
57. Which of the following is not true according to the text? ____.
A. Apart from “port”, many English words have the same root which comes from the Latin word
B. “Port” is the root forming some English words
C. The root “port” means “to carry”
D. “Port” has the root meaning “to move” from one place to the other 58. By adding a prefix or suffix to a root, we can get a word which has ____.
A. the meaning of a Latin word
B. a different meaning
C. the meanings of “in” or “out of”
D. a lot of meanings
59. We can get a noun ____.
A. just by adding “er” to verbs B. by changing a prefix

In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the film maker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disneys cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nashs voice, he said, “Stop!Thats our duck!”
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1937 in the film “The Wise Little Hen”. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper(脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickeys eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasnt a goody-goody(好好先生) like Mickey.
In the 1930s, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared—there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But todays children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.
64. Who made Donald Duck film? ____.
A. Mickey Mouse B. Clarence Nash
C. Walt Disney D. Pluto
65. Who was Clarence Nash? ____.
A. A cartoonist B. Donald Ducks voice
C. A film maker D. A film star
66. Where do todays children see Donald Duck? ____.
A. In new films B. At the cinema C. On television D. At concerts
67. The word “audience” in the second paragragh means ____.
A. readers
B. producer
C. keeper
D. the people who watch a film at a cinema
(D)
Isnt it astonishing(令人吃惊的) how much time we spend talking about food? “Have you ever eaten…” “What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another, you will find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal and that what other people eat is strange or silly. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating like so many things we do becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a great deal of beer and the French drink wine every day.
The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Honkong, some people enjoy eating srakes. New Zealanders eat sheep meat, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese dont like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating rawfish(生鱼).
So it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.
68. The topic people spend much time talking about is ____.
A. lunch B. bread C. meat D. food
69. English people eat ____ and drink ____ every day.
A. rice; tea B. potatoes; tea C. horse meat; wine D. fish; coffee
70. The French drink ____ every day and often eat ____.
A. wine; horse meat B. tea; sheep
C. coffee; fish D. orange juice; snake
71. Peoples eating habits ____.
A. are easy to change B. should be changed
C. are difficult to change D. neednt to be changed
(E)
Rain Check
Believe it or not, a rain check is not a weather report. A rain check is a small piece of paper. When can you get a rain check? Well, if you go to the basketball game, rock concert, or some other open-air activity(活动) and it is cancelled(取消) because of the rain or some other reason, you may receive a rain check. With a rain check, you may go there again without paying.
You may also receive a rain check at a store. As you know, sometimes when you go to a store to buy something that is on sale, it is sold out. If you ask the check, he will give you a rain check which you can use next time you go to the store to buy the item(项目) at the sale price.
Here is another way to use this word. If someone invites you, somewhere you would like to go but cannot, you may say, “May I have a rain check?”
72. If you get a rain check, it probably means ____.
A. theres something wrong with you
B. something unexpected(意外) will happen to you
C. it will rain and you must get ready
D. some activities have been cancelled
73. When you get a rain check, you can ____.
A. buy something without paying in the store
B. take part in any baseball game
C. go to a game again without paying
D. join in a match during the rain
74. A store prepares rain checks to tell you ____.
A. it will sell something on sale

C. that what you want has been sold out
D. to come to the store next time to buy what you want

C. If we go to the store to buy something, we can receive a rain check
