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，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

（A）

    When Janet, a grade two stedent at a well-known school, was pestered(纠缠）by her classmates to join their group to steal from shops, she was shocked. She was a quiet, well-behaved girl and she did not understand why the girls had approached her.

    They showed her some of the things they had stolen and said that shop theft was great fun and very exciting. Then they threatened to beat Janet if she did not join them.

    Janet was deeply troubled. She did her best to avoid the group of the girls after classes, but they often waithed for her outside the school and tried to persuade her to come with them.

    This problem is one which many school students in Hong Kong face. We asked the chairman of the local-fight-crime committee what Janet should do in these cases.

    "First of all, she could try to talk the other girls out of the whole thing . Being caught stealing from shops could ruin their futures and it is simply not worth the risk," he said.

    "Young people may think that it is easy to get away with stealing from shops , but more and more stores now have plain clothes detectives who are dressed like customers. I would say shop thieves have a more than ninety percent chance of being caught."

    "If they won't listen to her ,Janet should go to someone in charge in school , who can then decide if the matter can be dealt with by her or whether it is necessary to report the incident to the police."

56.From the first three paragraphs we can learn that       .

A.Janet didn't know what to do with the case
B.Janet faced the group bravely
C.the group stole a lot of things
D.the group were short of money

57.The underlined part "talk the other girls out of the whole thing" mean       .

A.discuss the possible result with them
B.tell them about their futures
C.persuade them to stop theft
D.warn them not to disturb her

58.One of the suggestions to Janet is to       .

A.report the situation to the police
B.ask the local-flight-crime committee for advice
C.hire a detective to catch them
D.turn to her teacher for help

    "Where are you going?" asked the policemen.

    "Downtown to have lunch with friends," John said.

    "Come on ," the policemen said. "We'll get you your card." So they took him dwontown to the CTA office. But the people there wouldn't give him a CTA card--he needed a picture.

    "What about his quarters?" one policeman asked . The officials discussed, and the decision was made to give John's quarters back.

    When John got downstairs, the policemen asked where he was going.

    "To see my friends," John said.

    "How are you going to get there?"

    "On the bus .And all I'm going to pay is 75 cents."

    "Good luck," the policemen said.

    John got on a bus , dropped three quarters in the box, and said,"I'm a senior citizen..." The driver looked at John and nodded. He didn't know how lucky he was to be a sensibe man.

    Nature has supplied every animal except man with some covering for his body such as fur, feathers, hair ,and shells as a thick hide. But man has nothing but a thin skin.

    If someone were to ask you, "Why did human beings start to cover their bodies with clothes?" most would answer,"To keep thimselves warm, of course."

    It is only when we begin to think about it a little that we realize that clothes are worn for a great many reasons that have nothing to do with our need for warmth at all.

    For example, we wear clothes to some degree in ordre to decorate ourselves--to make ourselves, if possible, look more dignified(尊严)or nicer.

    Clothes of a special kind are often worn to show that the wearer has authority or power. The individual wearing them is treated with respect because he occupies a certain office. The judge on the Bench, for example, might look a very ordinary and unimpressive figure without his wig and gown. Colthes are an important part of ceremony, whether it is connected with belief, the law , parliament,and royalty, the fighting forces or the state. How very different the Queen's Coronation ceremony(加冕仪式)would have looked without the robes, coronets and the cloth of gold.

    Sometimes , even in some modern countries people wear some article of clothing, or some jewel, because they believe that it will bring them luck or protect them from evil or illness, or because it is connected with their beliefs.

    None of these reasons for wearing clothes --to decorate ourselves to show our position in the world for ceremonial purposes for "luck" , to give ourselves dignity and authority--have anything to do with our need for warmth.

67.From the passage we know that wearing clothes is man's basic necessity to      .

A.protect skin
B.show beauty
C.keep warm
D.bring luck

68.The judge wearing special clothes on the Bench      .

A.looks nicer
B.looks different
C.shows wealth
D.shows power

69.Even in modern countries, sometimes people wear certain clothes because      .

A.they believe that they will get protected from bad luck and illness
B.it has something to do with their wealth
C.they eant to show their power
D.they enjoy wearing such kind of clothes

70.The author's puspose in writing this article is to tell us that clothes are worn      .

A.for ceremonial occasions
B.for many other reasons besides warmth
C.to keep people impressive and nicer
D.to show people's authority or power

    LONDON--A morning's train ride away, across the Channel, English kids talk about Liverpll's soccer team in a Paris pub.

    Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London.

    In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival(竞争的)cities, London and Paris, in "A Tale of Two Cities." These days, it might be A Tale of One City.

    Parisians are these days likely to smile in symapthy at a visitor's broken Frenchmen and respond in polite English.
   
    As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250000 Frenchmen moved across the channel. With an undersea tunnel , they could travel between cities in three hours. The Europe Union freed them from immigration and customs.

    Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.

    "For me, the difference is that London is real , alive ," said Trevor Wheeler, a banker.

    Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. "I am French, but I'll stay in London ," she said .

    There is ,of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. "I think pepole laugh more in Paris ," she said.

    In fact, London and Paris , with their obvious new simialrities, are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.

    "Both cities have changed beyond recognition."  Said  Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner.

    Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably.

    "I first fell in love with Pairs in the 1950s, and it is still a wonderful place," Collins said.

    "But if I had to choose, it would be London . Things are so much more ordered, and life is beter."

    But certainly not cheaper.

    In fancy parts of London , rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.

    Deciding between London  and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.

    Like Daphne Benoit , a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose.

    "I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is so structured," she said. "In London , you can be who you want . No one cares."

71.The best title for this passage is     .

A.Londoners and Parisians
B.A Modern Tale of Two Cities
C.The Similarity of Two Cities
D.Fancy London and Fashionable Paris

72.We can infer from the text     .

A.Paris and London has become perfect partners
B.London feels more full of life
C.life in Paris is structured
D.Paris and London have become fierce competitors

73.The underlined word "flocked" probably means      .

A.came in large numbers
B.flew a long way
C.rushed hurriedly
D.drove long distances

74.Living in Paris , you may find      .

A.life is better
B.things are cheaper
C.more attractive people
D.a job easily

75.From the passage we can know      .

A.the two cities have developed very fast
B.London is better than Paris now
C.Paris is a favourite place for all journalism students
D.people in both London and Paris now lead a regular life
