第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Learners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their listening ability.
First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.
Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don’t change books often. Never let
your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “fashionable”.
Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.
Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in some special English programs, such as V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.
21. This is a piece of advice to learners of English on how to ______________. A. improve their listening ability B. read fast
C. write better English and read faster D. speak correctly
22. If you want to understand the English news program on the radio, you should________.
A. read the Chinese language newspaper step by step B. read again and again the Chinese language newspaper C. go through the Chinese language newspaper first D. be able to recite the Chinese language newspaper
23.The author advised that once you have taken up a course, you _______. A. should stick to it.

C. should take up other courses if they are more fashionable D. shouldn’t do anything else

A mouse looked through a hole in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package; what food might it contain? He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap!
Running to the farmyard, the mouse shouted, warning everyone, “There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house.” The chicken, with her head high, glared at the mouse and said, “Shut up. Little Ugly. This is a great concern to you, but it has nothing to do with me: I can’t be troubled by it.”
The mouse turned to the pig and told him. “There is a mouse trap in the house.” “I am so sorry, Mr Mouse,” said the pig sympathetically, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; you are always in my prayers.”
The mouse turned to the cow, who said, “A mouse trap, am I in great danger, huh?”
Now the mouse had to face the farmer’s mouse trap alone.
That very night a sound was heard through the house, like that of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a big poisonous snake whose tail the trap had caught.The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home
with a fever. It is said that drinking fresh chicken soup will help treat fever, so the farmer took his sharp knife to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient. His wife’s sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer killed the pig. The farmer’s wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral. The farmer had the cow killed to provide for all of them to eat.
So next time when someone is facing a problem, don’t say that it has nothing to do with you.
25. We could see from the passage that the mouse was_____. A. good at cheating others B. dishonest C. kind and warm-hearted D. foolish
26. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. The others help the farmer kill the cow. B. The mouse trap was very practical.
C. The pig is more friendly than the other animals. D. The farmer’s family had no friends at all. 27. What can we learn from the story?
A. Traps can always cause chain reactions. B. It is better to be safe than to be sorry.
C. Sometimes when the least of us is threatened, we all might be at risk. D. To keep the balance of nature is the duty of us all.
C
Do you know how to prepare for and survive a major earthquake? According to Department of Conservation scientists, it is important to have the right answer to that question.
How to Be Prepared
Electricity, water, gas and telephones may not be working after an earthquake. The police and fire departments are likely to be tied up. You should be prepared to tend for yourself for at least three days, preferably for a week. You'll need food, water and so on. It's also a good idea to decide ahead of time how and where your family will reunite if separated during a quake. You might choose an out-of-the-area friend or a relative that family members can call to check on you.
________
If you're indoors, stay there. Get under a desk or a table. The kitchen is a particularly dangerous spot. If you're in an office building, stay away from windows and outside walls and do not use the elevator. If you're outside, get into the open. Stay clear of buildings, power lines or anything else that could fall on you. If you're driving, move the car out of traffic and stop. Avoid parking under or on bridges or overpasses.
After an Earthquake
Check for fire. If you smell gas, shut off the main gas valve (阀). If there's sign of damage to electrical wiring, shut off the power at the control box. If the
phone is working, only use it in case of emergency. Avoid driving if possible to keep the streets clear for emergency vehicles. Be careful that things may fall out of cupboards when the door is opened, and also that chimneys can be weakened and fall with just a touch. Listen to the radio for important information and instructions. Remember that aftershocks, sometimes large enough to cause damage in their own right, generally follow large quakes. If you leave home, leave a message telling your friends and family your location.
28. The underlined phrase “tend for” in the second paragraph probably means “_____”.
A. look for B. think of C.be proud of D. take care of
29. Which of the following would be the best subtitle for the third paragraph? A. Before an Earthquake B. After Making Preparations C. During an Earthquake D. While Staying at Home 30. What should you do when an earthquake happens?
A. We should turn off the power. B. We should drive on a bridge. C. We should stay away from the kitchen. D. We should listen to the radio frequently.
31. According to the passage, why doesn't the author advise driving after an earthquake?
A. Because it is dangerous to drive as there will be aftershocks.
B. Because your car will be easily damaged in the streets full of blocks. C. Because you can't find a place to park your car. D. Because you should make way for emergency vehicles.
D
Students who want to attend an American college or university must explain how they will pay for their education. They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study. Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live in, which is known as room-and-board. They also need money for books and supplies. And they need money to spend on social activities and other things.
Educational advisers say foreign students should have enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of expenditure. So how much will a year at an American school cost? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. A leading state university in the Pacific Northwest will serve as an example. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than $36,000 this year. This major research university currently has 2,600 foreign students from more than one hundred countries. There are many schools that cost less, but also others that cost more. Its web site says the University of Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students. This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level.
The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank
