22、 on my way 第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40）第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题四个选项中，选出最佳选项（30分）。ATransportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers to transportation and communication. In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Ove
23、r the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africas government used to require black Africans to carry passe
24、s when they travel within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move. Countries set up Customs posts at their borders. Foreign travellers must go through a Customs inspection before they are allowed to tr
25、avel in the country. Usually travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas(签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official
26、 guide at all times during their stay. Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication. When two governments disagree with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industr
27、ial information secret. Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are no
28、t so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.51. The examples in paragraph 2 are used to tell the readers that _ A. Customs posts are necessary at the borders of the countriesB. people have been allowe
29、d to travel freely within the country C. people have not been permitted to travel freely for various reasons D. travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas52. Some governments limit the freedom of communication because_ A. they think such freedom will lead to warsB. they more
30、 often than not agree with each other on important mattersC.they intend to keep their national secrets unknown to othersD.they want to show their authority over communication53. We may learn from the passage that _ A. people do not care about the removal of barriers between countries. B. people can
31、not remove the obstacles made by themselvesC. barriers should be taken for granted as they always exist D. man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome than natural ones54. Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?A. Functions of CommunicationB. Barriers Made by People
32、C. Restrictions on Transportation D. Progress of Human SocietyBOne day, when I was in college, a dishonest-looking character approached me in the student union with a leather jacket he wanted to sell. It was a beauty: buttery smooth cowskin, with artfully sewed lines and long leather fringes (穗). I
33、cant remember what the price was, but it was apparently too little for such a jacket. Even as I paid the money that day, I knew something wasnt right. Surely, a couple of days later, the jackets real owner, a student about my age came to me as I was on my way to class. “Thats my jacket,” he said, “a
34、nd I want it back.”“No way,” I answered. “I paid for it, and I have no idea if its yours. Its mine.”He didnt challenge me, and I left, but the uneasiness(不安) I had about my new possession now had a visible face. A few days later, riding my bike across campus, I saw the real owner standing on the sid
35、ewalk. I rode over, took the jacket off, handed it to him said I was sorry, and rode off without another word. More than the weight of the jacket had been lifted from my shoulders.Were all human, which means that sometimes we do things we shouldnt do or say things we shouldnt say. Sometimes we reali
36、ze too late that our actions have been hurtful to somebody else. When these hard times occur, the best response - the only response, really - is, “Im sorry.” Admitting a wrongdoing, as soon as possible and frankly, helps the other person begin to heal. But just as important, it cleans up our own sou
37、l and sets us free. That is a small price to pay for a clear conscience. 55The author bought the leather jacket from the man in the student union because _ .A. it was charged at a reasonable priceB. it was a very attractive jacketC. he was in great need of clothingD. he was happy to find such a barg
38、ain56The phrase “had a visible face” in the passage probably implies（暗含） “_ ”.A. started to bother me badlyB. might be clearly expressedC. began to give me away openlyD. could be instantly melting away57Giving the leather jacket back to the real owner, the author _ .A. offered his forgivenessB. felt
39、 very much relievedC. rode away unwillinglyD. realized his wrongdoing58What is the authors purpose of this writing?A. To encourage the readers to admit errors honestly.B. To show the readers the reality of his college life.C. To give the readers a lesson on how to say sorry to others.D. To tell the
40、readers a story that once happened at college.CWinter begins in the north on December 22nd. People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months. Squirrels (松鼠), for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. Well, scientists have been busy gathering inform
41、ation about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut (黑胡桃) trees. The black walnut is the nut of ch
42、oice for both kinds of squirrels. The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow w
43、hen gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions
44、 are right for them to develop and grow the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”.Gray squirrels are native to Indiana. But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for
45、 agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century.The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen calls
46、 them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.59.The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to _ .A. find out the living conditions for squirrels B. do something to get rid of squirrels C. learn squirrels influence on black walnut trees D. save the forests in the American state of
47、 Indiana 60.The difference between gray squirrels and red squirrels mainly lies in _ .A. the way they gather the walnut B. the place they store the walnutsC. the time they have winter sleep D. the place they have winter sleep 61.When Professor Swihart says “death traps for seeds”, he actually means
48、that _ . A. nuts above the ground will not develop into plantsB. red squirrels eat more nuts than gray squirrelsC. gray squirrels and red squirrels will have severe fightsD. seeds can be traps for other animals in the forest62.According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Gray squirrel
49、s do more harm to the forest than red squirrels.B. Red squirrels and gray squirrels have helped the spread of walnut trees.C. The cleaning of forest land benefits red squirrels directly.D. The black walnut is equally attractive to both gray and red squirrels. DThere are some topics that readers neve
50、r grow bored with, and the search for a suitable partner（伴侣） is one of them. Pride and Prejudice（傲慢与偏见）by Jane Austen, first published in 1813, tells the story of five young women, all of whom are looking for a husband. In order to fully understand the novel, the readers must know that at the time w
51、hen Jane Austen was writing, if a family was not rich, the daughters needed to marry well in order to live a comfortable, independent life. That is the reason why Mrs Bennet, the mother of the five girls, is so eager to have her daughters married.The heroine of the story is Elizabeth Bennet, and as
52、in all good romantic novels, she and Darcy, the man she finally marries, remain separate until the very end of the story. The wealthy Darcy is a proud, unsociable man, and when Elizabeth hears that he has insulted（侮辱） both her and her family, she dislikes him very much. Poor Darcy then falls head ov
53、er heels in love with Elizabeth, and has to work terribly hard to persuade her to change her mind about him. He succeeds of course, and they live happily ever after. Set at the turn of the 19th century, the novel is still attractive to modern readers. It has become one of the most popular novels and
54、 receives great attention from literary scholars（学者）.Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramas（戏剧）and a lot of novels and stories modeling(模仿) after Austens memorable (难忘的)characters or themes. To date, the book has sold some 20 million copies worldwide.Jane Austen is rightly fa
55、mous for her style. Her sentences have a wonderful rhythm（韵律）, and she makes such clever, true comments about people. It is not surprising that Pride and Prejudice has lasted. 63.
