15、第三節(jié) 閱讀理解（每小題2分，滿分40分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項A、B、C和D中選出最佳選項。 A Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York.，in 1852. His family was very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large c

16、ity.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract peoples interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENT

17、S EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you h

18、ave to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919

19、, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always ran his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”31. Frank took a s

20、hort business course in order to _. A. earn more money for his family B. learn something from a salesman C. get away from the farm D. get enough to eat.32. Frank sold the odds and ends quickly because _. A. he knew how to get people to buy his goods. B. he cut down the price by half C. he had put th

21、e goods on a table in a very nice way. D. the sign he put on the table was well designed.33. The price of the knives was cut down by half because _. A. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day. B. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory. C. the knives were made in Germany,

22、 where labour (勞動力) was cheap. D. the knives were produced in one factory.34. _ made Woolworth a world-famous man. A. His business skills and his wealth B. The low price of the goods he sold C. His trip to Germany and his huge order of knives D. His natural skill for showing thingsBBottled water has

23、 become the choice for people who are healthy and thirsty. Bottled water is all over the world. But some say the planets health, and peoples health may be suffering from it.The idea that bottled water is safer for humans may not be true. The Natural Resources Defense Council of America said, “There

24、is no promise that because water comes out of a bottle, it is cleaner or safer than water from the tap.” Another New York City-based action group added that some bottled water is “really just tap water in a bottlesometimes more clean, sometimes not.”It is not proven that bottled water is better than

25、 tap water. Nick Reeves from the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management said, “The high mineral content (含量) of some bottled water makes them not good for feeding babies and young children.” Also, most bottled water doesnt have fluoride (氟化物), which can make teeth stronger. Kids

26、 are drinking more bottled water and less fluoridated tap water, and some say thats behind the recent rise in bad teeth.Storing is another problem. Placed near heat, the plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals (化學物質) into the water.According to the Environmental Protection Agency, some 2.7 million

27、 tons of plastic are used worldwide to bottle water each year. The plastic can take between 400 and 1,000 years to break down. In terms of energy use, plastic bottles are also not cheap. One report said that if water and soft drink bottlers had used 10 percent recycled materials in their plastic bot

28、tles, they would have saved about 72 million gallons of gas.So, if you are worried about the effect of bottled water on the Earth, you can take the following steps. Drink from your tap. Unless your government warns against this, it should be fine. Get a container (容器). Carry your tap water in a stee

29、l or a lined drinking container, and clean it between uses. Keep it cool. Dont drink from a bottle that has been sitting in the sun, dont store it near chemicals, and dont reuse plastic bottles. Choose glass containers over plastic if possible. When finished, recycle!35. What is the main idea of the

Bottled water may not be as good as we think.36. What can we learn about plastic bottles from the article?A. They break down in less t

31、han 300 years. B. They can be used for many other things.C. They are a risk to the environment. D. They are cheap to make.37. According to the article, we can know that bottled water is _.A. no problem for the environment B. more expensive than tap waterC. always safer than tap water D. better for b

32、abies38. Which of the following about tap water is NOT mentioned in the article?A. There are a lot of problems storing tap water.B. Bottled water can be just tap water in a bottle.C. It may be better for your teeth.D. It may contain fluoride. CWhen I was in high school, I spent some time as a teache

33、r for a group of disabled students. There were several kids in my class, all with different disabilities, but I still remember two of them today. Ones name was Jim and the others was John. They were two brothers, and both of them had some sort of muscular disease. They both had to sit in wheelchairs

34、, but they had personality. I remember that they used to bring rock and roll tapes to class with them. They became really excited and happy when they would play the music. Then we became good friends. When it came time to graduate, we were all trying to decide who to walk with when we received our d

35、iplomas (證書) during the ceremony. I chose to ask my disabled friend Jim to be my partner. He was so excited that his eyes filled with tears. I thought more about the walk than the diploma itself. And as I walked next to Jim in his wheelchair, he received cheers from a hall full of people. I was so p

36、roud of him.I got a card from Jim soon afterwards, thanking me for the care and help that I had given to them both. Jim died soon after graduation. I attended his funeral (葬禮), along with our high school headmaster. I still have Jims card to this day, and I value it more than anything I own. I might

37、 have been Jims only friend, and Im delighted to be a friend to him and to put a smile on his face. 39. According to Paragraph 1, we can infer that _.A. the author was also a disabled manB.

41、of Mothers Day.     The earliest Mothers Day celebrations were held during spring in ancient Greece. The celebrations honoured Rhea, the Mother of the Gods. During the 1600s, England celebrated a day called Mothering Sunday, a day on which even servants were given a day off to sp

42、end with their families. A mothering cake was even served with the family meal.      In the US, Mothers Day began in 1872 when Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the words to the famous song The Battle Hymn of the Republic, suggested it as a day devoted to peace. But it didnt really beco

43、me famous until 1907 when Anna Jarvis called on people to honour mothers. She believed that mothers could help people get over the pain they experienced during the Civil War. The US isnt alone in devoting a day to mothers. Many other countries including Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Ja

44、pan, and Belgium also honour their mothers in May. Other countries honour their mothers at different times of the year.     Learning about Mothers Day and celebrating Mothers Day are important, but probably not as important as understanding what your own mother, or grandmother, o

45、r aunt has really done for you. And that should be appreciated more than one day in a year.43. What is the passage mainly about?      A. The reason why people celebrate Mothers Day.B. The ways people honour mothers.C. The history of Mothers Day.     D. Mothers

49、face mask to protect her from polluted air in Lanzhou, China, in December. A new study showed air pollution might put people more at risk for heart disease than scientists had thought. Kristin Miller, a doctoral student at the University of Washington, said chances of getting the disease were relate

50、d to not only which city a woman lived in, but also where in the city.The study found that the effects of air pollution were often larger within cities than between cities. Yet averages among cities have up until now served as the main measure of the long-term effects of pollutants.The new findings

51、make experts suspect that current pollution limits may be inadequate. Scientists examined rates of heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular (心血管的)events in women with long-term exposure to air pollution.The study involved women over the age of fifty who had no sign of cardiovascular disease at

52、the start of the research. The study followed the women for as long as nine years to see how they would develop cardiovascular problems.The researchers also examined levels of fine particles（顆粒） in the air in 36 areas across the country. That information came from the Environmental Protection Agency

53、. The extremely small particles came from industrial smoke and traffic, along with things like wood-burning fireplaces in houses.In the study, every ten-microgram increase in pollution was linked to a twenty-four percent increase in the risk of a cardiovascular event. But it was related to a seventy

54、-six percent increase in the risk of death from cardiovascular disease.But just how do particles in the air damage the cardiovascular system? The particles may cause the lungs to swell and release chemicals from the pollutants into the blood. The chemicals then could damage the heart.47. The passage
