　　Part I Reading Comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)

　　Section A ( 50 marks: 2 marks for each item )

　　Format I

　　Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some quest10ns or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1.

　　Passage One

　　Question 1to 5 are based on the following passage:

　　Karen Christiansen in Madison, Wisconsin, is licking stamps and addressing envelopes. Soon she and her fiance will be sending out invitations to their wedding. Meanwhile, Wei Yashung is at the hairdresser’s in Shanghai, China. She knows she will have a long wait. It’s May 18, the most popular day to get married in China. The room is filled with brides preparing for their special day.

　　Everyone feels very emotional at this time. There are a lot of rituals and superstitions(迷信)at the wedding,” says Maxine Rowe , an anthropologist.

　　Karen’s aunt and sisters help her check off the things she needs according to old customs. They recite the traditional verse, “Something old, something news, something borrowed , and something blue.” Friends and relatives gather around and contribute grandmother’s locket(纪念品盒), a cousin’s wedding veil, or a blue garter to prepare for the ceremony.

　　Many wedding traditions in western cultures began long ago and were designed to protect the couple from bad luck, “The wedding veil is a Greek custom intended to hide the bride from evil spirits, ” says Maxine. “The Romans contributed the custom of bridesmaids to confuse the spirits. Wedding bouquets had strong-smelling herbs to scare away witches and devils.”

　　In China, thousands of couples choose May 18 for their wedding day. " In the past, people consulted an almanac (历书) to find lucky days,” explains Maxine.“ But in modern times a new tradition is being formed.” May 18 sounds very close in Chinese to “ wo yao fa,” or “ I will get rich.” It is considered a good omen to get married this day.

　　Some people don’t think it’s a good idea for everyone to get married on the same day. “It’s silly and superstitious,” one reporter wrote. But hairdressers, florists, and owners of restaurants say it’s the best day. They can raise the1r prices and their services are fully booked Maybe they are the ones who should be saying,“I will get rich.”

　　1. The overall structure of this passage can be called _______ .

　　A. comparison and contrast B. description of events in order of time

　　C. details leading to conclusion D. generalization followed by details

　　【答案】A。

　　【解析】主旨题。本文主要借助一位西方新娘和一位中国新娘来对比中西方不同的婚俗，所以本题答案为A，对比和对照。

　　2. An anthropologist in Paragraph 2 probably studies _______ .

　　A. hairstyles B. jewels C. almanac D. customs

　　【答案】D。

　　【解析】词汇语义题。通读全文可知，本文的婚俗都是通过Maxine Rowe，也就是这个“anthropologist”陈述的，所以这个“anthropologist”应该是为研究习俗(customs)的人。

　　3. Why do Karen’s friends and relatives contribute a cousin’s wedding veil?

　　A. Because it is something old. B. Because it is something new

　　C. Because it is something borrowed. D. Because it is something blue

　　【答案】C。

　　【解析】细节题。根据cousin’s wedding veil定位到文章第三段最后。第三段说，根据老的习俗，婚礼上应该备齐“古老的东西，新的东西，借来的东西及蓝色的东西”，那么经过分析“cousin’s wedding veil”应该是借来的东西。所以选C。

　　4. The word “omen" in Paragraph 5 probably means ______ .

　　A. a sign of star B. a sign of present

　　C. a sign of past D. a sign of future

　　【答案】D。

　　【解析】词汇语义题。Omen 一次出现在文章倒数第二段最后一句。中国人喜欢选择在5月18日结婚，因为518和中文“我要发”是谐音。所以根据这个意思我们可以推断，这天结婚应该被认为有个好兆头的意思，所以应该选D，未来。

　　5. What’s the writer’s tone in the last sentence “Maybe they are the ones who should be saying, ‘I will get rich’” ?

　　A. Humorous. B. Tolerant. C. Matter-of-fact. D. Furious

　　【答案】A。

　　【解析】态度题。文章最后一段说有些人认为大家都挤在同一天结婚很愚蠢，但对于美发店、花店以及饭店的老板来说，他们有很多生意可以做，他们才是最该说“我要发”的人。此句诙谐有趣，描写出那些商人窃喜的心理活动，所以应该选A。

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

　　The easiest and least complicated way to motivate somebody is quite simply to pay them attention. What you say is not particularly important, nor necessarily is how long you spend saying it, as long as it’s something. “Nice weather” or “How are you?” will do.

　　People just love attention, adults and children. Children love attention so much that they will do anything to get some. In fact , if children are not getting enough attention, they would rather be naughty and get told off than be “good” and be ignored. An interesting time in most households with young children is dinnertime-it’s the end of the day, everybody is tired, the house is in a mess and Johnny doesn’t like carrots and is refusing to eat his food. Again, the easy trap to fall into is to start getting cross with Johnny and getting into a big argument about his food. Again he’s getting the attention he desires; even if it’s not the best sort of attention, it’s better than nothing. It’s fascinating if you’re able to stand back from the situation and instead focus attention and praise on Johnny’s brother who is eating his food-after all, he’s the one that is doing what you want him to do. After five or ten minutes or so of being ignored and deprived of the attention, it’s amazing how quickly (usually) Johnny see sense and obeys. I’ve watched my own children in this situation go from screaming from behind the sofa that they won’t eat their food, to sheepishly crawling to the table saying that maybe they’ll have a little bit, to sitting in their chair wolfing the lot and saying “Mummy, aren’t I doing good dinner eating?” all without having one word spoken to them by their parents, who are busily paying attention to their brothers.

　　This fundamental need for attention, and doing whatever it takes to get it, doesn’t disappear when we turn into adults. Sure, there are people who are “real attention seeker” in a loud and extravert (外向的 ) way, and there are the shy, retiring types who don’t want attention in such a “sociable” way. But everybody still wants to be recognized and seen as worthwhile.

　　6. What will children probably do to get parents’ attention?

　　A.They will keep quiet for a long time. B.They will ignore their parents.

　　C. They will behave naughtily. D.They will get cross easily.

　　【答案】C。

　　【解析】细节题。文章第二段都在讲小孩为了得到关注可以说“不择手段”。从第二段开头部分可以得到提示。People just love attention, adults and children. Children love attention so ... than be “good” and be ignored. 选C，孩子会以淘气的方式得到父母的关注。

　　7. What does the phrase “the easy trap to fall into” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

　　A. A set up situation parents are likely to go into.

　　B. The household work parent can not avoid.

　　C. Some tempting food children love to eat

　　D. A bad habit children easily develop.

　　【答案】A。

　　【解析】词汇语义题。根据定位点前后的信息，我们知道Johnny不喜欢吃胡萝卜拒绝吃饭，这个时候，很多家长会生气并教训孩子要好好吃饭。事实上，根据后文，我们知道这并不是个有效的方法。这里的trap是“陷阱”，fall into是“掉进去”，字面上是“很容易掉进去的陷阱”。选项A与此对应。Set-up situation与原文trap对应，are likely to对 应easy，go into对应fall into，属于同意替换的现象。

　　8. An effective way to make children behave themselves may be to ______.

　　A. scold them severely B. teach them what to do

　　C. give them total freedom D. praise their sisters or brothers

　　【答案】D。

　　【解析】细节题。根据第二段It’s fascinating if you’re able to stand back from the situation and instead focus attention and praise on Johnny’s brother who is eating his food可知，该句对应选项D。

　　9. “Real attention seekers” in the last paragraph are probably those who ______ .

　　A. motivate others to learn B. associate with shy types

　　C. rely on negative attention D. arouse others’ attention openly

　　【答案】D。

　　【解析】细节题。根据最后一段，每个人都希望得到别人的关注，但是方法不同，有些人外向些，有些人内想些。所谓的“real attention seeker”是指那些外向的人，对应选项D，大大方方地吸引别人注意的人。

　　10.What point does the author make by relating to children’s behavior?

　　A. Children's upbringing needs parents' constant care.

　　B. Children are usually extravert while adults are sociable

　　C. Both adults and children need to be seen as worthwhile.

　　D. The motivation of children differs greatly from that of adults.

　　【答案】C。

　　【解析】推理题。题干问的是涉及到对小孩行为的描述的目的是什么。不管是第二段对小孩的行为的描述还是第三段对成年人的描述，二者都是一个目的——想说明忍忍都希望得到别人关注，而且C选项对应原文最后一句话。
