第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节, 满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
阅读下面短文, 从每题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
（A）
“Have a nice day” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day. Next!” The version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out at the door. The words came out in the same tone ( 腔调 ) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher,
and the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
21. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The salesgirl is rude. B. The salesgirl is bored.
C. The salesgirl cares about me. D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine.
22. By saying “Have a nice day", a stranger may _____.
A. try to be polite to you B. express respect to you
C. give his blessing to you D. share his pleasure with you
23. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Have a Nice Day—a Social Custom
B. Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant Gesture
C. Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming Greeting
D. Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation
（B）
“I never expected that I would be so busy. Why can’t there be 25 hours in a day?” complained Liu Ran in Hong Kong as mid-term exams were going on.
The 18-year-old was Shandong Province’s top scorer in this year’s college entrance examination. After graduating from Tai’an No.1 High School, she chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong(香港中文大学), although both Peking University and Tsinghua University promised her a place.
“I want to experience a more international school and social life in Hong Kong. I’m majoring in journalism, so Hong Kong will surely help widen my horizons,” Liu said.
It is two months since Liu first set foot on Hong Kong. She missed home a lot at the beginning, because of the food and language problems.
“The canteen offers mostly Western or Guangdong food, but it’s convenient to cook for ourselves in our dorm if we like. People speak Cantonese and almost all classes are in English,” Liu explained.
Her English and Cantonese are now both improving, but she still needs more time to adapt to the new environment.
“I’m happy that I made the right decision to study here. With a mix of the Eastern and Western cultures, there is so much to discover and learn,” she said.
Liu has 18 credit hours(学分) of classes every week and 23 non-credit hours every other week. She has signed up for four associations including the Chinese Language Debating Team and the drama club. Essays, book reports and presentations also take plenty of time to prepare. And , of course, there are various parties to attend.
“I wasn’t a party animal before, but that may be interesting part of college. I sense myself changing,” Liu said.
24. Liu Ran chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong, because___________.
A. she couldn’t be admitted to Peking University
B. Hong Kong is a good place
C. she wants to be far from her homeland
D. the Chinese University of Hong Kong can widen her horizons
25. According to the last paragraph, we can infer__________.
A. now Liu Ran is an animal
B. the busy and full life makes Liu Ran feel good
C. Liu Ran hates the busy life in the Chinese University of Hong Kong
D. Liu Ran likes the food there
26. Liu Ran had to overcome the difficulties in many aspects EXCEPT_________.
A. food B. language C. no friends D. missing home
(C)
Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein ,in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.
Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes ,Dr Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.
The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid.”Maybe I could go as Superman ,”he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装)，but finally she agreed.
The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.
The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. we all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, to achieve what we never believed we could, Just as Dr. Epstein puts it ,”If you can dream it, you can do it”
It doesn’t mean that you should dress as a superhero for you next job interview. But, next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it .Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.
27.What do we know about Tom?
A.He was seriously ill B.He was a dishonest boy.
C.He was crazy about magic D.He was Dr.Epstein’s patient
28.What can be inferred about Tom’s mother?
A.She was a rich lady B.She refused Tom’s request
C.She wanted Tom to be a superhero D.She wanted to get Tom through the pain
29.In the last paragraph,you are advised .
A.to go through some difficult tests B.to wake up from your wild dreams
C.to become a powerful person in your mind D.to wear expensive clothes for job interviews
30.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To tell us an interesting story. B.To help us make right decisions.
C.To advise us to care about children. D.To encourage us to use our imagination.
(D)
Imagine waking up and finding the value of your assets(资产) has been halved. No, you’re not an investor in one of those hedge funds that failed completely. With the dollar slumping (falling) to a 26-year low against the pound, already-expensive London has become quite unaffordable. A coffee at Starbucks, just as unavoidable in England as it is in the United States, runs about $8.
The once all-powerful dollar isn’t doing a Titanic against just the pound. It is sitting at a record low against the euro and at a 30-year low against the Canadian dollar. Even the Argentine peso and
Brazilian real are thriving against the dollar.
The weak dollar is a source of humiliation（shame）, for a nation’s self-esteem rests in part on the strength of its currency. It’s also a potential economic problem, since a declining dollar makes imported food more expensive and exerts upward pressure on interest rates. And yet there are substantial sectors of the vast U.S. economy-from giant companies like Coca-Cola to mom-and-pop restaurant operators in Miami-for which the weak dollar is most excellent news.
Many Europeans may view the U.S. as an arrogant superpower that has become hostile (unfriendly) to foreigners. But nothing makes people think more warmly of the U.S. than a weak dollar. Through April, the total number of visitors from abroad was up 6.8 percent from last year. Should the trend continue, the number of tourists this year will finally top the 2000 peak? Many Europeans now apparently view the U.S. the way many Americans view Mexico-as a cheap place to vacation, shop and party, all while ignoring the fact that the poorer locals can’t afford to join the merrymaking.
The money tourists spend helps decrease our chronic trade deficit(长期贸易逆差). So do exports, which thanks in part to the weak dollar, soared 11 percent between May 2006 and May 2007. For first five months of 2007, the trade deficit actually fell 7 percent from 2006.
If you own shares in large American corporations, you’re a winner in the weak-dollar gamble. Last week Coca-Cola’s stick bubbled to a five-year high after it reported a fantastic quarter. Foreign sales accounted for 65 percent of Coke’s beverage business. Other American companies profiting from this trend include McDonald’s and IBM.
American tourists, however, shouldn’t expect any relief soon. The dollar lost strength the way many marriages break up- slowly, and then all at once. And currencies don’t turn on a dime(coin). So if you want to avoid the pain inflicted by the increasingly pathetic dollar, cancel that summer vacation to England and look to New England. There, the dollar is still treated with a little respect.
31. Why do Americans feel humiliated?
A Their economy is plunging B They can’t afford trips to Europe
C Their currency has slumped D They have lost half of their assets.
32. How does the current dollar affect the life of ordinary Americans?
A They have to cancel their vacations in New England.
B They find it unaffordable to dine in mom-and-pop restaurants.
C They have to spend more money when buying imported goods.
D They might lose their jobs due to potential economic problems.
33. How do many Europeans feel about the U.S with the devalued dollar?
A They feel contemptuous of it B They are sympathetic with it.
C They regard it as a superpower on the decline. D They think of it as a good tourist destination.
34. what is the author’s advice to Americans?
A. They treat the dollar with a little respect B. They try to win in the weak-dollar gamble
C. They vacation at home rather than abroad D. They treasure their marriages all the more.
35. What does the author imply by saying “currencies don’t turn on a dime” (Line 2,Para 7)?
A. The dollar’s value will not increase in the short term.
B. The value of a dollar will not be reduced to a dime
C. The dollar’s value will drop, but within a small margin.
D. Few Americans will change dollars into other currencies.

36 Besides, in top-grade restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.
The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. 37 If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all.
38 In formal dinners, there are always“public”chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. 39 It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate.
People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed. 40 Or you will always overeat!
A. This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness.
B. Chinese food contains much less calorie.
C. Soup then will be served to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings.
D. When you have had enough, just say so.
E. Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that’s only superficial.
F. Some Chinese people are so hospitable that they use their own chopsticks to put food into the plates of their guests.
G. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests.

One possible version:
Dear editor,
I'm writing to tell you my opinion on Chinese students going abroad for further studies at an early age.
I agree that Chinese students going to study abroad is a good thing, which helps us to know more about foreign countries, but I don't think it necessary for us to do that so early.
The education in China and that in foreign countries both have advantages and disadvantages. The most important thing for us Chinese students to do at present is to know our country, people and culture well. Without that, we'll have no root and cannot have a good understanding of other countries, people and cultures.
Besides, going to study in foreign countries at too early an age not only costs a lot of money, it could also bring serious problems. Taking care of themselves is one of them.
In my opinion, as primary or middle school students, we should devote our time to studying harder in our own country and improving ourselves, when the chance to study abroad arrives, we'll grasp it and make the best use of it.
