第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover.”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself better than anybody else.
Other people may fool you into overestimating(过高估计) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is bound to (一定会) make a favourable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.
In a word, you can’t judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
56. The passage suggests that ______.
A. a good writer may not be a good speaker
B. a good writer is always a good speaker
C. a speechless person always writes well
D. a good writer will find himself speechless

A. his teachers
B. his deeds in the classroom
C. his appearance
D. his reactions to different situations
59. The writer of this passage wants to tell us not to______.
A. judge a book by its cover

C. overestimate a student’s intelligence
D. judge a person’s intelligence by his appearance

One night in February 1962, John H. Glenn, Jr. flew over Australia. The man in the Mercury (水星) capsule was alone, but friendly voices reached him by radio. Over the dark land 100 miles below, he saw sparkling lights. It marked the city of Perth, where people had turned on their lights as a greeting to him.
In Friendship 7, Glenn radioed, “The lights show up very well. Thank everybody for turning them on.” His capsule moved on to the east.
During his three orbits of the earth, Glenn could always reach one of the 18 tracking stations. Some of them were on ships at sea. Others were in the United States.
Many of the stations had been built with the help of other countries. These countries allowed Americans to bring in radio equipment and set it up. Without the help of such lands as Nigeria, Zanzibar and Mexico, there would have been breaks in the worldwide radio network. John Glenn, Jr. was the first American to orbit the earth. For his flight, the tracking network (跟踪网络) covered 60,000 statute miles (法定英里). 500 men worked in the stations along the route. Since his flight, the network has grown. Today, it covers more than 100,000 statute miles and has about 100 stations. One-third of these stations are outside the United States.
60. This passage is mainly about ______.
A. talking to ships at sea around the world
B. breaks in the worldwide network
C. the first American to orbit the earth
D. a satellite which fell into the ocean
61. From the passage we can see that ______.
A. Friendship 7 stopped in Perth, Australia
B. all tracking stations are inside the United States
C. radio equipment is important in space flight
D. many people could see Glenn in his capsule when he made the flight
62. During his flight Glenn could always ______.
A. see lights on the ground clearly
B. reach ships at sea
C. reach one of the tracking stations
D. arrive at Mercury in his Friendship 7
63. Why did people in Perth turn on the lights?
A. They wanted to guide Glenn to land.
B. It was too dark for them to see in the room.
C. They wanted to see Friendship 7.
D. They wanted to greet Glenn.

The Beatles had a song that once was a hit on US college campuses, back in the 60s, that went like this: “They say the best things in life are free, but you can keep them for the birds and bees. Now give me money. That’s what I want.”
That may have been almost 40 years ago, but those words are still true for some students today, according to a survey of students’ attitudes.
The American Freshman Survey of more than 267,000 students at 413 colleges and universities nationwide showed more than 50 percent of them said they went to college for “financial well-being in the future”. Fewer than 40 percent saw higher education as a way of developing a meaningful philosophy of life.
University of California education professor Linda Sax, the director of the survey, said this reflects a longstanding tension between material rewards and the value of education, something that has been strengthened in recent years.
“Students also increasingly concentrate on prestige(声望) and college rankings, making them more concerned about where they go to school than why they’re going,” Sax said.
Dustin Grant, a freshman of University of Southern California, said the survey results matched his views on what students think about as they leave high school.
Grant, who is a business major, thinks the high costs of college fuel this materialism.
“This is a major investment - like US$40,000 a year. When you’re putting so much in, you’re going to expect to get something out of it,” he said.
But, the 20-year-old added: “Required courses in humanities and the intellectual life on campus can encourage students to think critically about their values and beliefs. College surely opens up new perspectives(景象). Seniors probably express a greater concern for finding meaning in life.”
64. The survey tells us ______.
A. the differences between the students today and those of 40 years ago
B. some students today take the same attitude to money as those of 40 years ago
C. money is more important than a free life for all the students
D. the different meaning between money and life
65. The third paragraph suggests ______.
A. over 267,000 students are at 413 colleges and universities
B. more students surveyed live a well-off life
C. some students will improve their value of life
D. the meaning of money plays an important part in students’ life
66. From what Linda Sax said, we may find ______.
A. material rewards replace the value of education
B. a college with high ranking attracts more students
C. students show more interest in making money
D. professors are anxious about the value of education
67. The word “hit” in the first paragraph means “______”.
A. successful performance B. popular song C. heated argument D. discussing topic
D

二、阅读理解
“Wash every day, and you’ll die young, my son,” People often said those words long ago, of course.
Napoleon’s wife had new clothes every month, instead of a bath. (“It’s quicker,” she always said). Rich people did not often have a bath. They washed their hands and faces, but not their bodies. Many poor people did not wash at all. A young man once said to a doctor: “Soap and water have never touched my body.” (And the doctor answered, “That’s true, I know …”)
Why didn’t people wash in those days long ago?
Well, they did not have water in their houses. They carried water from rivers or from holes in the ground (=wells). Townspeople bough it from a water-carrier. Sometimes it was expensive; and soap was always expensive. They drank water, of course; and so they were clean inside. They did not think about the outside! And this is true: they just did not like a bath.
Modern life is different. We use a lot of soap and water. And we are all quite clean. However, a few people use too much soap and they often get ill. Who are these people?
Many young women work as hairdressers. They wash and then “dress” other women’s hair. That is their job, and they like it. Young hairdressers sometimes wash thirty heads on a busy day! Their hands are soapy for seven or eight hours; and that is not a good thing. A young hairdresser’s hands are often red and ugly; and she must then go to a doctor.

A. she would rather not pay a lot of money for soap and water
B. she cared more for new clothes than for anything else

A. People didn’t wash in those days.

3、The underlined word hairdressers means persons who __________.
A. shape women’s hair into a style

3、语法：过去分词作状语。
[知识重点与学习难点]
一、重要单词：
poem poetry poet intention recite pattern dialogue sort fantasy grammar glory sonnet absence district isle atmosphere introduction embrace tale shade extraordinary idiom crow mood apart insane essay recommend contribute
二、重点词组：
play with … 玩要……，与……一起玩
call up 唤起，调动，打电话
stand out 出类拔萃，突出
come into being 出现，形式
[难点讲解]
1、More than any other form of literature, poetry plays with sounds, words and grammar.
诗歌胜过任何其他文学形式更灵活地运用声音，词汇与语法。
上句中more than的用法是习语，又例：
They were more than glad to help. 他们非常乐意来帮忙。
He was more than upset by the accident.
对那个事故他远不止是烦恼。
Newspapers and other media do more than simply record what happens.
报纸与其他媒体不仅仅是记录发生的事情而已。
（注意比较上述例句的译文。）
play的常见用法：
v.t. play football 踢足球 play cards 打牌
play chess 下棋
play the piano 弹钢琴
the violin 拉小提琴
与……比赛/下棋……
We’ll play Class 3 at football.
Will you play me at chess?
Smith is playing the former champion in the tennis match.
史密斯正在与前网球冠军比赛。
New York played Chicago for the baseball championship.
纽约与芝加哥争夺棒球冠军。
另有：
play “Hamlet” 演“汉姆雷特”这出戏
play (“the role/part of ”) Julie 扮演朱丽叶这角色
play a trick on … 捉弄
a joke
v.i. 玩，玩弄
Children like to play.

The cat is playing with a football. 这猫正在玩一个足球。
He is a playboy. He’s always playing with a girl’s affections.
他是个花花公子，他总是玩弄女孩的感情。
2、Poetry also calls up all the colors, feelings, experiences and curious images of a dream world.
诗歌也能唤起梦幻世界中的一切色彩、情感、经历与各种奇妙的形象。
这里call up意为remind，唤起，但用法上有异，试比较：
His story called up (in my mind) a terrible experience I had last year.
reminded me of
他的故事使我想起我去年的一次可怕的经历。
3、Modern English started around the time of William Shakespeare towards the end of the sixteenth century.
现代英语大约是在16世纪末莎士比亚时代开始的。
around大约，与about同义，在不定的数词前some也有此义：
He is only about/around/some five feet tall.
The journey will take us about/around/some ten days.
The date of his death may be set around/about 86 B.C.
He lived about/around the same time as Einstein.
towards用于时间，意为快到，临近：（注意与until比较）
We arrived at the village towards 9 o’clock. (We didn’t arrive at the village until 9 o’clock.)
The rain stopped towards morning. (The rain didn’t stop until morning.)
4、John Keats died at a very young age in 1821;while William Wordsworth, who spent much of his time in the English Lake District, lived to the age of 80 and died in 1850.
约翰济慈英年早逝于18，而威廉华兹华斯很长时间在英格兰湖区渡过，享年80岁，1850年逝世。
这里to意为到（某时）常可用till/until代之，意义不变：
To/Until the day of his death he kept up his studies.
He teaches from morning to/till four o’clock..
但否定句不能用until/till替换。
I didn’t stay to the end of the meeting. 我没耽到会议结束。
(cf. I didn’t leave until the end of the meeting. 我直到会议结束才走。这句如用持续动词stay，会有歧义，无法理解。)
5、The style and atmosphere in their poems has often led to comparisons with poets such as Du Fu and Li Bai. 他们的诗作的风格与气氛常常导致与杜甫、李白的比较。
①领导，带领之意，不跟to do：
He led the Allied forces during the war. 他在战争期间领导盟军。
The Party leads us (in) building socialism. 党领导我们建设社会主义。
He led a human right movement in the late 1980s. 他在80年代领导一场人权运动。
②使某人做某事：
What led him to run away? 什么使他逃之夭夭？
The news leads me to believe that they will come. 这个消息使我相信他们会来的。
③lead to导致，to是介词。
Herd work leads to success. All roads lead to Rome.
The heavy rain led to a flood.
偶尔也用作v.t.：
What led you to (drawing) this conclusion? 什么导致你得出这个结论？
6、The introduction of English poetry to China came late. 英语诗歌传入中国比较晚。
动词introduce的使用，有一定难度，注意以下用法：
①介绍人与人之间的认识：
Allow me to introduce my friend Mr. Smith to you.
The chairman introduced the lecturer to the audience.
Have you been introduced? 你被引见了吗？
②介绍，使人们了解一种知识，运动或艺术等等。直接宾语是被介绍对象：
It was my cousin who introduced me to jazz.
My father introduced me to the game of baseball.
Let me introduce you to Keats’ long poems.
③传入，引入
Too many kinds of GM food have been introduced to China, which may bring about side effects.
Wang Shuo introduced the slang of Beijing street gangs into his novels.
王朔把北京街痞子的俚语引入了他的小说。
7、Besides, no matter how well a poem is translated, something of the spirit of the original work is lost. 一首诗不管译得多好，都会失去原作的神韵。
no matter how well …是让步状语从句，让我们小结一下让步状语从句的一些结构：
He didn’t light the fire though/although it was cold.
I’ll do it, even if/even though it takes all the afternoon.
Tall as/though he was, (yet) he couldn’t reach the apples.
Though/Although he was tall,
虽然他很高，但是他还是够不到那些苹果。
（可以与yet连用，但不能与but/however连用）
While I understand what you say, I can’t agree with you.
while作虽然解时，不能放在主句之后。
No matter what I did, no one paid any attentions. 不管我做什么，没有人理睬。
Whatever
Don’t believe the rumour, no matter who repeats it.
whoever
The book will be ready for him (no matter) whether he comes or not.
No matter how hard she worked, she failed the exam in the end.
However hard
No matter when and how the invaders come, they will be wiped out clean.
不管侵略者何时来怎样来，他们将被消灭干净。
（注意这里有when and how两个连词一般不用whenever and however并列替换。）
8、I started with small poems, but now I think I most like long poems.
我一开始读些短诗，但现在我想我最喜欢长诗了。
begin with, start with意为以什么为开始，一开始做什么，一般with后面不接动名词，只接名词、代词：
I began with some short stories.
reading some short stories. ×
我一开始读（或写，根据当时情景而理解）一些短篇小说。
He is starting with grammar.
teaching grammar. ×
他将先讲语法。
9、I close my book and my sadness is gone. 合上书本我的悲伤也就消失了。
gone是少数几个其过去分词可作非谓语的不及物动词之一，意为过去的，消失的，丢失的等等：
Her diamond necklace was gone. （表语）
I found my wallet gone. （宾补）
Don’t regret the gone case. （定语）
cf: He has gone. 他走了或他离开了。
He is gone. 他死了或他失踪了。
10、After Milton, almost every poet had a hand at this kind of poetry that was free of rhyme.
弥尔顿之后，几乎每一位诗人都写过这种无韵自由诗。
have a hand at/in … 参考，做过一点……，插手……
He had a hand at the gamble when he was young. 他年轻时干过赌博这行当。
None of your business, don’t have a hand in (it). 不要插手，与你无关。
He once had a hand at photography before he became an artist.
他成为画家前搞过摄影。
11、Modern poets wanted to break with all the traditional forms of poetry.
现代诗人要破除诗歌的传统形式。
这里break with = break away from
I should break with/break away from such habits.
He broke away from/broke with all his old friends.
[语法] 过去分词作状语
1、过去分词作状语进，其逻辑主语就是句子的主语：
Moved by the movie, Jane burst into tears. （原因）
Heated to 100℃, water boils. （条件/时间）
The teacher entered the classroom, followed by a group of students. （方式/伴随状况）
上述过去分词作状语都有被动意义，可改成以下从句：
Because/As she was moved by the movie, …
If/When it is heated to 100℃, …
…, who was followed by a group of students.
前两句是状语从句，最后一句却是非限制性定语从句。
2、过去分词作状语时，为了强调条件让步时间等意义，常前置连词，常见的有：when, if, unless, until, till, once, although, though, even if, etc,但引导时间状语的while一般不能接过去分词，因为过去分词的完成过去的意义与之有矛盾：
Experience, when dearly bought, is of great value.
Once seen, it will be impressed in your memory.
John, don’t speak until spoken to.
Unless asked, you should keep silent.
If given another ten minutes, I’ll finish sending the email.
He is very modest though praised by all.
Even if taken good care of, the man was not satisfied.

二、英诗汉译：
以下是美国诗人朗弗罗（Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 1807-1882）的一首名诗“生命颂”，请将它译成中文：
A PSALM OF LIFE
WHAT THE HEART OF YOUNG MAN SAID TO THE PSALMIST
Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
“Life is but an empty dream！”
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal:
“Dust thou art, to dust returnest,”
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow.
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle！
Be a hero in the strife！
Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act, -act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o’erhead!
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
