三、阅读理解(共 20 小题; 每小题 2 分,满分 40 分)
A
During my visit to China, I stayed in several hotels or guesthouses. I would like to say
something about fire regulations(条例) in these hotels.
When I was in Beijing in a hotel I checked the nearest fire escape to my room, as I usually do,
I found that on the ground floor, the exit(出口) out of the buildings was chained and locked! If
there was a fire, people wouldn’t be able to escape. In some other places, I did not find any notice
about the procedures(程序).
In most hotels in my country, there is now a notice on the back of the door of every
guestroom. In Japan the porter(门卫)actually points out the escape route when bringing your bag
to your room.
I hope Chinese hotels will improve on their safety procedures.

B
What is America’s number one sport? Can I still say baseball? You could make that
statement 30 years ago, but things have changed. Baseball of course has the richest history of all
sports. But with the popularity of basketball and American football, there can now be an argument
on which sport is American’s number one sport.
Basketball really took a turn in the 1980’s as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird took the NBA to
another level. Of course, basketball was already popular and had seen such stars as Jerry West and
Dr.J, but the real breakthrough(突破) came in the 1980’s and from there it really took off with
Michael Jordan into the 90’s. Basketball has even become very global now as many NBA stars
competed in the Olympics and faced no competition. Today, they had better be ready because
there are so many talents(天才) in other countries and the competition will be stiff.
Like basketball, American football has always been a favorite of many sports fans and its
popularity has grown widely. The ratings(收视率) that Super Bowl Sunday brings are amazing.
They have even talked about making Super Bowl Sunday a national holiday.
In the year 2050, basketball and American football will have history like baseball’s rich
history and maybe American national sport. They have been trying for years, but it is not going to
happen.
So what is American’s number one sport? To me baseball will always be Americans’ hobby
--- rich in history and many memories for people of all ages. If you have any comments on this
subject, do give your opinions.
41. The most powerful basketball player in 1980’s is_____.
A. Larry Bird B. Michael Jordan C. Jerry West D. Magic Johnson
42. This passage mainly talks about_____.
A. baseball and its history

A. will be America’s national sport
B. is world’s most popular sport
C. has its breakthrough in the 1980’s
D. will have the richest history by 2050
44. Which of the following words can take the place of the underlined word “stiff” in Paragraph
Two?
A. safe B. hard C. crazy D. strong

“It’s over! Thank goodness!”
School was over and I was tired. I sat at the front of the school bus.
Janie, the driver, tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere by striking the match of
talks. I try to listen politely, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day,
however, her talk was worth listening to.
“My father’s ill,” she said to no one in particular. I could see worry in her eyes. I had
never seen her like this before. She always meets students with a smile.
With a sudden change of interest, I asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
With her eyes wet and her voice unusual, she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes lowered
as she continued. “I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.” I couldn’t
answer. My heart ached for her.
I sat on the seat thinking of the great pain my own mother was thrown into when her father
died. I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn’t want anyone to go through that.
Suddenly I realized Janie was more than a bus driver. That was just her job. She had a
whole world of family and cares for them too.
I suddenly felt very selfish.I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver.I had
judged her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant. I shouldn’t have been so selfish and
self-centered.
Understanding people is an art.

54.Why did the writer feel selfish?Because _______ .
A.she had never had Janie as anything except a driver
B.she had made only a few friends in the school
C.she had hardly thought of herself
D.she had never listened to others

Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top
student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he
or she wants to. Here’s how:
1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list
of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of
your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good,
regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A
weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what
is happening to your time.
2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area.
Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of
everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to
study, concentrate on the subject.
3. Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to
everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking
notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
4. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review
the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your
teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material will become more
meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what
you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The
world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will
probably discover many others after you have tried these.
