第三部分:阅读理解

阅读下面短文,从题后所给的A、B、C、D四个答案中选出最佳选项。

A

Almost everyone accepts the fact that crime can never be wiped out entirely. Thus control of crime becomes the focus of police and government around the world. The question lawmakers must answer is, "Which system of criminal punishment works best for society?” Each country has developed its own ideas for solution to this question, and these solutions then determine how criminals are punished under different systems. However, none of the current system in use has proved 100 percent effective. There are many ideas about punishment of criminals. Some systems look only to (倾向于) get retribution (惩罚) against criminals. These systems work to frighten criminals away from repeating a crime in the future.

These systems also try to deter (威慑) others in society by using the criminal as an example of what can happen to a person if he or she is caught committing crimes. Rehabilitation (悔过) is another philosophy by which many systems of punishment operate. The goal of these systems is to return a former criminal to society after a required period of treatment and training, usually in prisons. The idea is to help change the person's behavior and approach so that he or she becomes a law-abiding citizen.

Capital punishment is another form of punishment which systems use in extreme criminal cases, sometimes involving such crimes as a murder, rape, and violent theft. In these cases, the person is put to death. Today, capital punishment is used in relatively few countries. Many countries have done away with it. In other words, capital punishment remains only in officially law books but is rarely used. However, capital punishment remains in use in some countries including the United States.

56. The police around the world usually concentrate their attention on .

A. how to catch the person who commits crimes

B. how to punish the person who commits crimes

C. how to control crimes

D. how to determine the system of punishment of criminals

57. Different purposes of the systems of criminal punishment are mentioned in the passage except .

A. to frighten criminals and stop them from committing crimes again

B. to warn others in society not to commit crimes

C. to reform criminals and help them return to society

D. to help criminals get some knowledge of law

58. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Many countries including the USA have got rid of capital punishment.

B. In some countries capital punishment can only be found in law books, but it is hardly used.

C. Capital punishment is only used in extreme criminal cases.

D. Some countries including China still use capital punishment

B

Life is difficult.

But life is no longer difficult once we truly understand and accept it.

Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties represent (代表) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, or even their nation.

What makes life difficult is that the process (过程) of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems depending on their nature cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.

Yet, it is in this whole of solving problems that life has its meaning.

Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.

59. From the passage, it can be inferred that .

A. not everybody has problems

B. we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of life

C. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain

D. people like to complain about their problems

60. The writer probably uses just one short sentence in the first paragraph to

A. save space B. persuade readers

C. make readers laugh D. get readers' attention

61. The main idea of paragraph 3 is .

A. most people feel life is easy

B. the writer feels life is easy

C. the writer likes to complain about his problems

D. most people complain about how hard their lives are

62. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to .

A. encourage them to learn

B. teach them to fear the pain of solving problems

C. help them learn to deal with pain

D. teach them how to respect for problems

63. The saying from Benjamin Franklin“Those things that hurt, instruct.”suggests that .

A. we do not learn from experience B. we do not learn when we are in pain

C. pain teaches us important lessons D. pain cannot be avoided

C

Contacts between Japan and the rest of the world have grown a great deal in the twentieth century. In the last thirty years, business contacts between Japan and the West

have become very important. Many foreign companies have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world. Differences between Japanese and Western

ways of doing business, however, often confuse foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.

The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He doesn't want to wait. The Japanese, on the other hand, like to arrive at decisions gradually after giving them a great deal of thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes”or“No”. This is because of cultural differences between Japanese and Western society, which make it difficult for a Japanese to say“No”directly.

In English, it is easy to say“No”to something we do not want to do. But in Japan, it's very difficult to say“No”To refuse an invitation or request with“No”, or a similar phrase, is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No” directly, the Japanese have developed any ways to avoid saying “no”. These enable them to avoid hurting other people's feelings. However, this often makes communication with

the Japanese difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.

64. What often makes foreigners feel difficult to do business in Japan?

A. Their different ways of doing business.

B. The fact that the Japanese never say “No”.

C. The fact that the Japanese are slow to act.

D. Their different ways of communication.

65.The fact that unlike the Japanese Western people will refuse an invitation with“No” indicates that .

A. western people are not as polite as the Japanese

B. western people are selfish and cool

C. different society has its different culture

D. western people never mind hurting other people's feelings

66. When we want to refuse a request, the Japanese will probably .

A. say“No”directly B. say a phrase similar to “No”

C. not express it but say “Yes” D. use some other indirect ways to express it

67. Which of the following is the disadvantage brought about by the fact that the Japanese hardly say “No”?

A. It often hurts other people's feelings.

B. It can avoid hurting other people's feelings.

C. It makes communication between the Japanese and the foreigners impossible.

D. It causes difficulty in understanding for foreigners.

D

There are two basic differences between the large and the small firms. In the small firm you operate primarily through personal contacts. In the large firm you have established “policies”, “channels” of organization, and fairly rigid procedures. In the small firm you have, moreover, immediate effectiveness in a very small area. You can see the effect of your work and of your decisions fight away, once you are a little above the ground floor. In the large firm even the man at the top is only a cog in a big machine. To be sure, his actions affect a much greater area than the actions and decisions of the man in the small organization, but his effectiveness is remote, indirect, and difficult to see a first sight. In a small and even in a middle-sized business you are normally exposed to all kinds of experiences, and expected to do a great many things without too much help or guidance. In the large organization you are normally taught one thing thoroughly. In the small one the danger is of becoming a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. In the large one it is of becoming the man who knows more and more about less and less.

There is one other important thing to consider: do you derive a deep sense of satisfaction from being a member of a well-known and important figure within your own small pond? There is a basic difference between the satisfaction that comes from being a member of a large, powerful, and generally known organization, and the one that comes from being a member of a family; between impersonalgrandeur and personal of ten much too personal-intimacy; between life in a skyscraper and life in a crossroads gas station.?

68. In a large enterprise, .

A. new technology is employed quickly B. all people work efficiently

C. one's effectiveness is felt very slowly D. one can get promotion easily

69. In the first paragraph, a “jack-of-all-trades” means .

A. a person who doesn't know anything about business

B. a person who is very capable as a businessman

C. a person who knows a little bit of everything

D. a person who is very knowledgeable about trade

70. We can conclude from the first paragraph that the writer .

A. prefers to work for a large firm B. does not mention his own preference

C. prefers to work for a small firm D. is against anything that goes to its extreme

71. In the second paragraph, the contrast between the organization and the family is employed to show .

A. how necessary a deep sense of satisfaction is

B. what satisfaction means to different types of people

C. how families may differ from one another

D. what large firm can offer to ordinary families

E

0Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo. Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel,

the world's first igloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.

In two weeks' time Bergqvist's ice creation will be nothing more than a pool of water. “We don't see it as a big problem,” he says, “We just look forward to replacing it.”

Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent

more than eight weeks piling 1000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. “The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door.” he says.

After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below freezing point, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing hotel break. “It's great fun,” Bergqvist explains, “as well as a good start in survival training.”

The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms." You can get a lot of people in." explains Bergqvist, “The beds arc three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time.”

72. Bergqvist designed and built the world's first igloo hotel because .

A. he believed people would enjoy trying something new

B. he wanted to make a name for the small town

C. an art exhibition was about to open

D. more hotel rooms were needed

73. When the writer says “the fun will be over,” he refers to the facts that .

A. hotel guests will be frightened at the thought of the hard test

B. Bergqvist's hotel will soon become a pool of water

C. Holidaymakers will soon get tried of the big igloo

D. A bigger igloo will replace the present one

74. According to the text, the first thing to do in building an igloo is .

A. to gather a pool of water B. to prepare a wooden base

C. to cover the ground with ice D. to pile a large amount of snow

75. When guests leave the igloo hotel they will receive a paper stating that .

A. they have visited Lapland

A gentleman in a very splendid restaurant started to take off his jacket. On seeing this, the waiter dashed over to his table and said:"'m afraid I must ask you to keep your jacket on, sir, for it is not good manners to do it in such a restaurant."

"Now listen," said the guest."I'll let you know that the Queen of England gave me permission to take off my jacket here."

"The Queen of England?" said the waiter in great surprise.

"Sure,"replied the guest."When I was in England last month, a friend of mine who has a very important position in high society took me to see the Queen.

Agnes Mill was one of the earliest leaders of the women's libreation movement in the United States. She was born on a farm in Missouri in 1892. Strangely enough she had a very happy life as a child. She was the only daughter and the youngest child of five. Her parents and her brothers always treated her as their favorite.

In 1896 the family moved to Chicago. Three years later they moved back to St. Louis where Agnes spent the rest of her childhood. She enjoyed her years in school and was an excellent student of mathematics. She also was quite skillful as a painter.

It was when Agnes went off to college that she first learned that women were not treated as equals. She didn't like being treated unequally but she tried not to notice it. After graduating from college she tried to get a job in her major field-physics. She soon found it was almost impossible for a woman.

Agnes spent a full year looking for a job. Finally she gave up in anger. She began writing letters of anger to various newspapers. An editor in New York liked her ideas very much. He asked her to do a series of stories on the difficulties that women had in finding a job. And there she began her great fight for equal rights for women.
