三、 阅读理解（共20题，每小题2分，满分40分）。
A
Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.
Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.
36.A good title for this reading passage is______.
A. Popeye the Sailor B. The Truth About Spinach
C.A Mistake with Numbers D. Folic Acid Makes You Strong
37.Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?
A. They thought spinach made them strong. B. They thought Popeye was funny.
C. Spinach had a lot of iron. D. People liked folic acid.
38.A research group told people that spinach______.
A. made Popeye strong B. was a green vegetable
C. had less iron than other green vegetables D. had more iron than other green vegetables
39.The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.
A. iron B. folic acid C. spinach D. exercise
40.Folic acid is ______.
A. something in food B. a vegetable C. dangerous D. a certain kind of spinach
B
A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset as well as others’. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he can not get through huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.
Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to doing one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.
41. What is an unpunctual person like?
A. He always does a thing when it should be done. B. He is always very busy.
C. He always does a thing at the wrong time. D. He always keeps the appointments.
42. Why is unpunctuality very harmful?
A. Because it makes a man lose many chances of doing important affairs.
B. Because it makes a man lose friends.
C. Because it makes a man work quickly.
D. Because it makes a man be more respected by others.
43. According to the passage, which is right?
A. The punctual person has no much work to do.
B. The unpunctual person is very rich.
C. The unpunctual person is often respected by his friends.
D. The unpunctual person loses what can’t be regained again.
44. According to the passage, what are good manners when you are invited to a party?
A. Arriving at the appointed time. B. Arriving before all other guests.
C. Arriving after all other guests. D. Keeping all other guests waiting.
45. Why is a person always unpunctual?
A. He is too busy. B. He has too much work to do.
C. He does care much about time. D. He doesn’t manage his time properly.
C
Reading poetry is not like reading any other kind of language, except maybe the language of advertising.
It may seem strange, but advertising and poetry have a lot in common. Like advertisements, poems:
have vivid imagery and impressive sound;
are richly symbolic;
operate on an emotional level, use a language of feeling;
are by nature brief, clear, economical with words;
are narrative sometimes, non-narrative other times.
But unlike advertisements, poems tend to express complex, deep or various feelings rather than simple, sentimental, surface, or unchanged emotion. If there’s drama in a poem, it’s more likely to be subtle, or tragic, or truly comic instead of overstated or silly. But the most important difference to observe is that poems do not mislead readers the way ads do; they are not conveying messages seeking to control or mislead your thinking and behavior.
Similarities and differences aside, it’s possible that being good at interpreting (释义) the subtle, unspoken messages in ads makes a person more skillful at interpreting poetry. It’s the same process of observation and inference. You observe the imagery in a typical beer advertisement, for example, and are led to infer that the right bottle of beer is the key to friendship, popularity, happiness, liberty, and success. (Never mind that this might not be the whole truth.) This is the same process you would use to interpret, critically or uncritically, the images in poems.
As wonderful and easy as some poems are right away, it’s true that sometimes reading poetry can seem a little bit like work. A poem that requires a bit of work isn’t necessarily a bad poem, although some of you might think so. But that tough work to open poem actually is well worth the effort.
46. According to the passage, both poems and advertisements always use ________.
A. brief words B. colorful pictures
C. impressive music D. narrative stories
47. Unlike advertisements, poems are likely to express ___________.
A. simple emotion B. complex and deep feelings
C. feelings on the surface D. emotion without any change
48. What does the underlined word “subtle” mean in paragraph 4?
A. clear B. difficult C. simple D. wordy
49. The most important difference between poems and advertisements is that _______.
A. poems make readers more skillful at interpreting
B. advertisements are usually much easier to understand
C. poems do not mislead readers the way advertisements do
D. advertisements have less intention of controlling our thinking
50. The main idea of the last paragraph is _________.
A. poem reading is wonderful B. reading poems is an easy task
C. a bad poem needs more time to read D. poem reading is well worth the effort
D
Convenience(方便) Foods
Instead of buying only fresh foods, Americans nowadays buy many more convenience foods. These are foods which are ready partly or completely prepared. Many of them are frozen, such as frozen dinner, heat-and-serve French fries, and frozen pizzas. There are also many canned convenience foods, such as ready-made spaghetti, soups, stews and vegetables. Convenience foods save time and trouble. They are popular with people who are busy or who don’t like to cook or wash dishes. But they often cost more than fresh, unprepared foods and many contain man-made additives. Also, many people feel they don’t taste as good as home-cooked foods.
Health Food and Co-ops
In the 1960s, a “back-to-the-earth” movement was started by young people in the United States. The movement was a reaction against the harmful effects of technology. From the movement came a new understanding of food and health. Many people now prefer natural and organic(有机的) foods to the prepared foods sold in health foods stores and in food co-ops, which are small stores where customers help manage the store. In co-ops, food is usually not packaged. Customers bring their own bags and jars and scoop(汲取) their food out of boxes or baskets.
The Diet Craze(节食热)
These days Americans are more and more concerned with their weight. Perhaps as many as 70 million Americans are on weight-dollar business. American supermarkets sell a variety of diet food such as soft drinks, diet candy, and diet salad dressings. Dieters also spend money on diet pills, exercise machines, and jogging suits(健美服). Each year dozens of new diets are popularized. They have such names as the Miracle(奇效的) Diet, the Nine-day Wonder Diet, and the East 24-hour Diet. There is even one called the Ice Cream Diet, which advises the dieters to eat only ice cream for lunch and dinner! For dieters who cannot lose weight on their own, there are many well-organized diet groups, which offer help and encouragement.
51. Generally speaking, convenience foods in America ______.
A. are shipped from foreign countries B. are made by farmers on farms
C. are popular with people D. is better than fresh ones
52. Young people who started a “back-to-the-earth” movement ______.
A. might be too foolish B. should be praised for their action
C. might suffer from some diseases D. might get less money from their companies
53. From part3, we can find that ______.
A. The diet craze in the US is unnecessary
B. Rich American people should offer their money to the poor
C. Businessmen are getting much money from the diet craze
D. Fat Americans are too foolish to take too much food
54. Which’s writer’s opinion on American diets?
A. They are all effective to people B. They are of no effect on people
C. The Ice Cream Diet is the best D. Not all of them are believable
55. What would be the best title for this text?
A. EATING American Food B. A Look at American Food
C. Making American Food D. Cooking American Food

On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success Principles.
During his talk, Jack 56 his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, “Who wants this?” 57 shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would 58 . But I jumped up, ran up the 59 to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air, thoughts 60 through my mind — was I about to be humiliated (羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they 61 security guards and take me from the stage? 62 my desire for brave action was louder than any 63 voice.
As I got the bill from his hand, he said, “That’s it! We can’t wait for the 64 to come to us. We must take action to 65 what we want!”
After his talk, I managed to formally meet Jack and bravely asked for his 66 email address. Over the next months, I sent him emails 67 my vision and dreams with him. He kindly emailed back lots of encouragement. But my life got 68 with other things. I stopped e-mailing Jack.
A year later, my dreams had worn away. I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant 69 that would show me the way.
I emailed him, and then again — but got no 70 . As I sat down at my computer to check my emails, I 71 woke up. What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely 72 that hundred-dollar bill, while they sat 73 to their chairs.
Usually we all have a “Jack” for whom we wait — whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. We 74 believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n) 75 way. So we don’t try. We give up. But as Wayne Gretzky said: “You’ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!” So I stopped waiting and started my writing career.
Now what are you waiting for?
