三.阅读理解(20 分)
( A )
Most shops in Britain open at 9:00 a.m., and close at 5:00 or 5:30 in the evening.
Small shops usually close for an hour at lunchtime. One or two days a week--- usually
Thursday and / or Friday--- some large food shops stay open until about 8:00 p.m. for
late night shopping.
Many shops are closed in the afternoon one day a week. The day is usually
Wednesday or Thursday and it is a different day in different towns. Nearly all shops
are closed on Sundays. Newspaper shops are open in the morning, and sell sweets and
cigarettes as well. But not all the things can be sold on Sundays.
Usually it is not difficult for foreign visitors to find where to buy things. Most
shops sell the things that you want to buy. One problem is stamps. In Britain you can
only buy these at post offices. Many large food shops are self-service. When you go
into one of these shops, you take a basket and you put the things you wish to buy into
this. You pay for everything just before you leave. If anyone tries to take things from a
shop without paying they are almost certain to be caught, because most shops have
detectives.
When you are waiting to be served in a shop, it is important not to try to be
served before people who arrive before you. Many foreign people are surprised at the
British way of queuing.
44. According to the passage, which of the following sentences is NOT true?
A. Some large food shops open for about 11 hours on Thursday or Friday.
B. Many shops are closed in the afternoon once a week on Tuesday.
C. Only a few things can be bought on Sundays.
D. It is not difficult for foreign visitors to buy things in Britain.
45. You can not buy ___________ in shops.
A. cigarettes B. sweets C. stamps D. clothes
46. Which of the following is the best title?
A. Shops in Britain. B. How to Buy Things in Britain.
C. Something about Britain D. How Long Are the Britain Shops Open?
( B )
What is the sky? Where is it? How high is it? What lies above the sky? I am sure
you have often asked these questions. They are very difficult to answer, aren’t they?
If someone asks you: “What color is the sky?” I think maybe you will answer
“Blue”. I am afraid you are wrong. The sky has no colors. When we see blue, it is the
sunlight that is shining on little bits of dust in the air.
Is the sky full of air? I am sure you have asked this question, too. We know that
there is air all around the earth. Planes can’t fly without air. They need air to lift their
wings. Planes can’t fly very high because as they go higher, the air gets thinner. If we
go too high up in the sky, we find there is no air.
Perhaps you can answer some of the questions now. What is the sky? Nothing.
Where is it? It is all around the earth. The sky is a part of space.
47. What color is the sky according to the writer?
A. Blue. B. White. C. Black. D. Colorless.
48. What is in the sky?
A. It’s empty. B. It’s full of air. C. It has clouds. D. It has rains.
49. What is the meaning of the underlined word “dust”?
A. 灰尘 B. 乌云 C 空气 D 雨滴
( C )
Mails, games, music, news, chat rooms and shopping! The Internet is part of the
way we live today. It’s easy to get onto the Internet. The only thing we need to do is to
use a modem(调制解调器) which is used for connecting a computer to a telephone
line. The Internet is changing and growing all the time. More and more people have
computers and use the Internet. Using the Internet means surfing the World Wide
Web(That’s the ‘www’ you always hear about.). The Web has large numbers of
websites in it. They are the places you go to get information and do things.
Where do these websites come from? They are made by web designers(设计师).
What happens when you click on a word or a picture? You are sent to another page.
It’s all because of the web designer. Web designers do a lot of work by using a
computer programming language.
Is web design all about computer programming? No. It’s about making
something new. Web designers must imagine a lot when they are making a website. It
must look good and be fun to use. A big part of Web design is art. They choose the
best pictures and colors to make the web site look good. They also write the things
that you see on the website. An important part of their job is to share ideas with the
website manager about how to design the website well.

C) Not all the thieves are lucky enough to get what they want. Sometimes they will
be unhappy if they are caught stealing by other people. Most thieves will save
themselves by making up stories when they are in trouble. A small shop sold a lot of
nice jewelry, and the owner was always careful to look after the things. One day when
a thief came and tried to take a beautiful necklace, the owner of the shop caught him
at once and went to call the police to come. “Please don’t do that!” the thief said. “I
have a wife and three children at home. And I will pay for the necklace.” The owner
of the shop felt sorry for the man and he didn’t want to have trouble with the police,
so he agreed that the man should pay for the necklace. But when he gave the necklace
to the thief and asked him to pay the money, the man looked surprised and said, “ I
don’t want to get anything as expensive as that. Do you have anything cheaper?”
