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，并在正确选项上划勾。
A
We buried Donald Brown last May. He was murdered by four men who wanted to rob the supermarket manager he was protecting. Partolman Brown was 61 years old. In just six months he and his wife had planned to retire to Florida. Now there will be no retirement in the sun, and she is alone.
Donald Brown was the second police officer to die since I became Police Commissioner of Boston in 1972. The first was Detective John Schroeder, shot in a pawnshop (当铺) robbery in November 1970. John Schroeder was the brother of Walter Schroeder, who was killed in a bank robbery in 1970. Their names are together on the honor roll in Police Headquarters.
At least two of these police officers were shot by a handgun, the kind almost anyone can buy nearly everywhere for a few dollars. Ownership of handguns has become so widespread that this weapon is no longer merely the instrument of crime；it is now a cause of violent crime. Of the 11 Boston police officers killed since 1962, seven were killed with handguns；of the 18 wounded by guns since 1962, 17 were shot with handguns.
Gun advocates are fond of saying that guns don't kill, people do. But guns do kill. Half of the people who commit suicide do so with handguns. Fifty-four percent of the murders committed in 1972 were committed with handguns. No one can convince me, after returning from patrolman Brown's funeral, that we should allow people to own handguns. I know that many Americans feel deeply and honestly that they have a right to own and enjoy guns. I am asking that they give them up. I am not asking for registration or licensing, or the outlawing of cheap guns. I am saying that no private citizen, whatever his claim, should possess a handgun. Only police officers should.
56. The suggestion the author presents in the passage is that _____. A. handguns are the cause of violent crime B. handguns are a dangerous weapon
C. American people's right to own and enjoy guns should be respected D. only police officers should possess guns
57. In paragraph 1,the tone of the author is _____.
A. calm B. bitter C. exciting D. regretful
58. According to the author, which is true of handguns? A. They don't kill.
B. We should not allow people to own handguns. C. Anyone can easily buy a handgun at a very high price. D. Handguns can't be the cause of violent crime.
59. The passage is mainly aimed to _____. A. persuade the government B. describe police officers' death
C. tell the robbers' means to kill policeman D. explain means of people's possession of guns
B
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “And Paul-why didn’t pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, It’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends – or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” that’s being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that they doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for ” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture (姿态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake. 60. This passage is mainly about ________. A. how to interpret what people say
B. what to do when you listen to others talking
C. how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people D. Why we go wrong with people sometimes
61. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that ________.
A. We fail to listen carefully when they talk
B. People tend to be annoyed when we check what they say C. People usually state one thing but means another D. We tend to doubt what our friends say
62. In the sentence “Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.” In the second paragraph, the pronoun “it” refers to ________.
A. being friendly B. a bit of envy C. lucky dog D. your luck
63. When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is _________. A. notice the way the person is talking B. take a good look at the person talking
C. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes
D. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture
C
My father's reaction to the bank building at 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City was immediate and definite: \
Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture（建筑）is upsetting, but I am convinced that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money.
In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity (实物) that could be carried, or stolen. So, to attract the custom of a sensible man, a bank had to have heavy walls, barred windows, and bronze doors, to affirm the fact, however untrue, that money would be safe inside. If a building's design made it appear impenetrable(无法穿透的) the institution was necessarily reliable, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architecture symbol dwelt in the popular attitude toward money.
But that attitude toward money has of course changed. Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used；money as a tangible commodity has largely been replaced by credit. A deficit（赤字） economy, accompanied by huge expansion, has led us to think of money as a product of the creative imagination. The banker no longer offers us a safe: he offers us a service -- a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity necessary for the generation of greater wealth. It is in no way surprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are watching the disappearance of the heavy-walled bank.
Just as the older bank emphasized its strength, this bank by its architecture boasts(吹嘘) of its imaginative powers. From this point of view it is hard to say where architecture ends and human assertion（人们的说法） begins. 64. The main idea of this passage is that _________.
A. money is not as valuable as it might have been in the past
B. the architectural style of the older bank is superior to that of the modern bank C. changes have taken place in both the appearance and the concept of banks
