24、yC. classD. assignments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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项.（A）During the Christmas shopping rush in London, the interesting story was reported of a tramp(流浪汉) who, apparently through no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve.

25、No doubt the store was crowded with last minute Christmas shoppers and the staff(员工) were dead beat and longing to get home. Probably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute

26、 Christmas presents.However that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported whether he took ad

27、vantage of these facilities(设备), when the shop re-opened, he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humour and philosophic temperament-as indeed vagrants(流浪者)very commonly are. Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good

28、 reason why he should not do the same. He submitted, happily enough, to being taken away by the police. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas than usual. He was sent to prison for seven days. The judge awarded no compensation(补偿,赔偿) to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. T

29、hey had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the coverage the story received in the newspapers and on television. Perhaps the judge had had a good Christmas too.56.The tramp was locked in the store_.Afor his own mistakes B due to misunderstandingCby accident Dthrough a faul

30、t of judgment57.The staff were “dead beat” means they were_.Ahalf asleep Bvery angry Cforgetful D. very tired 58.What action did the tramp take? He _.Amade himself at home Btook away many things from the store Cwent to sleep for 2 days Dhad a Christmas party59.Why didnt the judge award compensation

31、to the chain store?AThe tramp had stolen nothing of value.BThe store had got advantage from the incident.CThe tramp should have a happy Christmas.DThe store was responsible for(为负责) what happened（B）Not long ago, an airplane was flying over New Zealand. There was a television camera crew on board. Su

32、ddenly, out in the night sky, a bright sphere came into view. Everyone on board saw it and everyone thought, “UFO”Unidentified Flying Object（不明飞行物）.The camera crew went into action and started filming. That week people all over the world saw the film of this mysterious light on their television scre

33、ens. What was it? Was it a spaceship full of visitors from another planet? The captain of the aeroplane and the film crew believed it was. Other observers had many different explanation. Some said it was Venus. Others said it was just a trick of light.An air traffic controller (机场导航员) also saw it on

34、 his radar screen. He thought that a flock of birds was causing dots on his radar screen when the “UFO” appeared.Most astronomers now believe that what these people saw was almost certainly the planet Venus. At that time of year it is very bright and easy to see. And from a more aeroplane it can app

35、ear to be moving fast. So far there is no proof that UFOs or spaceships from other planets do exist. These years investigators of UFOs here investigated thousands of sightingsor occasions when people said they saw a UFO. Ninety percent of these turned out to have a simple explanation.However, its a

36、good idea to keep an open mind. Scientists in some countries are trying to persuade their governments to help them study UFOs. And they are planning to co-operate internationally on reporting and investigating sightings of UFOs.After all, it is quite possible that there is life out there in the univ

37、erse. And if something is alive, it is quite possible that it will come to visit us.60.So far there is no proof that _.AUFOs are just a trick of lightBUFOs are aeroplanes from the planet VenusCthere are UFOs or spaceships from outer spaceDother planets exist61.

39、idnt see the film of that mysterious light on their television screens.BThese years investigators of UFOs have simply explained most of sightingsor occasions when people said they saw a UFO.CLife out there in the universe does exist.DEven if there is life on the other planets it will not visit us.63

40、.In the last paragraph,“something”probably refers to _.Aa certain thing that scientists are studying Ban imaginary manC. an animalDintelligent life（C）Humans not only love eating ice cream, they enjoy feeding it to their pets(宠物). Market studies show that two thirds of all dog owners give ice cream t

41、o their dogs. Unfortunately, says William Tyznik, an expert on animal nutrition at Ohio State University, ice cream is not good for dogs.“It has milk sugar in it,”he says“which dogs cannot digest very well.”Bothered by that knowledge but aware of the desire of dog owners to please their companions,

42、Tyznik invented a new frozen treat for dogs that, he says, is more nutritious than ice creamand as much fun to eat. The product, called Frosty Paws, is made of a liquid byproduct(副产品) of cheese and milk with the sugar removed. Frosty Paws also contains refined soy flour, water, vegetable oil, vitami

43、ns and minerals. It took Tyznik, who has also invented a horse feed (called Tizwhiz) and another dog food (named Tizbits), three years to perfect the Frosty Paws formulas, and two attempts to commercialize it. After losing 25,000 trying to market the invention himself, Tyznik sold the rights to Asso

44、ciated Ice Cream of Westerville, Ohio, which makes the product and packages it in cups.Tyznik claims that Frosty Paws has been tested extensively and that “dogs love it”. Of 1,400 dogs that have been offered the product, he says, 89 percent took it on the first try. Three out of four preferred it to

45、 Milk-Bone or sausages. The product, which will be available in the ice-cream section of supermarkets, comes in packs of three or four cups, costing between 1.39 and 1.79.What would happen if a human should mistake Frosty Paws for real ice cream? Nothing, says Tyzmik. Its harmless, but frankly, he s

46、ays, it wont taste very good.64. Two thirds of all dog owners give ice cream to their dogs because _.Athey take pleasure in doing thisBice cream is cheap on the marketCthey cant find any dog food on the marketDice cream is easy to digest65.For dogs, Frosty Paws_.Ais sweeter than ice creamBtastes muc

47、h better than ice creamCis healthier than ice creamDlooks much more attractive than ice cream66.With the invention of Frosty Paws, Tyznik _.Amade a bit wealth Blost all the money he hadCbecame very famous overnight Dprovided a frozen food for dogs67.Humans _.Alike the taste of Frosty Paws, tooBmay f

48、ind the taste of Frosty Paws not so goodCmay get poisoned by Frosty PawsD. often mistake Frosty Paws for real ice cream ( D)The term previewing consists of two parts: pre means“before”, and view means “to see”. In previewing written material, you try to get an idea of what you are about to read. You

49、r goal is to have a general sense of the purpose, organization and features of the reading material before you actually engage in a careful reading. By getting an early “feel”for the article, you can gain a general overview of the major points it will consider.The act of previewing is part of an exp

50、loration process. It is intended to help you achieve purposeful reading. After completing the previewing process, you should be able to ask some meaningful general questions about what you will be reading. By asking questions of yourself, you are setting up some goals to meet in your reading. The ac

51、t of previewing should also help you think about the content(内容) by paying your attention to certain features of material.Previewing can be done with all kinds of written material. You could preview a newspaper article by studying its headline, subheadings, and any accompanying pictures. You can als

52、o preview a complete textbook in order to get a general idea of its purpose, organization, and features. In previewing a textbook you would look at such features as the table of contents, the index(索引), the preface(序), and chapter headings.68.The best title for this passage is _.APreviewing Material

53、 BThe Importance of Previewing MaterialCHow to Preview Written Material DDifferent Ways of Reading69.In the second paragraph, “The act of previewing is part of an exploration process”means_.Awe preview written material in order to get some specific informationBwe preview written material for the pur

The authors attitude toward previewing is _.Anot interested Bcareful Csupportive Duncertain （E）Adve

56、rtising can have both negative and positive effects. Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality on high price because of an advertisement. For example, some advertisers have appealed to(迎合) peoples desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that

57、 improve gasoline mileage(英里数). Some of the products work. Others are worthless and a waste of consumers money.Sometimes advertising is misleading on purpose. A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to dieters (节食者) with the message that there were fewer calories(热量单位，大卡)in every slice. It turn

58、ed out that the bread was not dietetic(适合于节食的). But there were the same number of calories in every loaf.On the positive side, Advertising may sometimes respond to a consumers real needs. Consider fire insurance(保险). Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the re

59、al reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the buy of fire insurance a worthwhile investment(投资) for most people. If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertisin

60、g.Each consumer must be clear about her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.72.The reason why the

61、bread advertisement is misleading is that _.Athe total number of calories in the loaf remained the sameBthin slices of bread could contain more caloriesCthe loaf was cut into regular slices Dthe bread was not real bread73.The passage tells us that _.Aadvertisements often force consumers into buying

62、things they dont needBthe buying motives of consumers are controlled by advertisementsCsometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needsDfire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment74.it can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should _.Abe familiar with various advertis

63、ing skillsBthink carefully about the benefits described in the advertisementsCknow the nature of advertisements is cheatingDavoid buying products described in the advertisements 75.The passage is mainly about _.Aways to protect the interests of the consumerBhow to make a wise buying decisionCthe fun
