三、閱讀理解 (共 4 道試題,共 20 分)
60. Except for a few times, Americans are not big present-givers. There's no exchange of presents among business people, and if one American tries to give another a present, it may look like that he wants to bribe (賄賂) him. Americans have learned that in some other countries people like to give presents to others, but among ourselves we don't see the need for presents.
Even friends may never exchange presents. When I go to foreign countries, I try to bring back little things for close friends, but nobody would feel unhappy if I didn't. I don't often remember a friend's birthday, and few people outside of my family remember mine. If someone gave me presents too often, I'd get unpleasant. But a present from a foreigner - that kind from his or her homeland — won't go wrong, except to government employees (政府職員) who can't be given presents.
You usually open a present at once and in front of the person who gives it except Christmas and birthday presents. You should only say, "It's so nice. Thanks…" when you get Christmas or birthday presents.
You may want to bring a bottle of wine or flowers to a dinner party, but you're never asked to. Nobody will mind if you bring wine, but your friend may not use it that evening.
At Christmas we often give presents to our family and sometimes our friends. We also give presents to people who have been helpful during the year- doormen, babysitters, housecleaners, newspaper senders— anyone who has often helped us.
(1).What does "close friends" mean in the passage?
A.The friends who you like most.
B.The friends who were once classmates.
C.The friends who live close to each other.
D.The friends who are very kind.
(2).What kind of presents don't Americans usually open in front of the givers?
A.The small presents.
B.The presents for dinner party.
C.The expensive presents.
D.Christmas or birthday presents.
(3).Why do Americans also give presents to housecleaners at Christmas?
A.To thank them.
B.To pay them.
C.To make them work harder.
D.To help them.
(4).Which of the following do you think is right?
A.The writer of this passage must be an American.
B.Government employees can get little presents from a foreigner.
C.Everyone must give presents to one's family and friends at Christmas.
D.American business people don't want presents because they are rich enough.
(5).What is the main idea of the passage?
A.When and how to give presents.
B.Present-giving in the United States.
C.Customs (習(xí)俗) in the United States.
D.American people and present-giving.
65.What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.
The tree house
Many architects in the world would like to build a “tree house.” Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root” of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to the home’s temperature.
The Lizard (蜥蜴) house
Like a lizard, changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.
Meals at home
This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture (建筑風(fēng)格). It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.
Learning from the past
Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney (煙囪) can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier of hot air to flow out at the chimney.
(1).What is the best title of the passage?
A.The greener, the better.
B.How to build green houses.
C.Green house of the future.
D.Changes of the houses.
(2).We can heat water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home .
A.with the soil under the ground
B.with the root of a leaf.
C.with the energy from sunlight.
D.with gardens on its walls.
(3).What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it’s in the bright sun?
A.It will turn white.
B.It will turn dark.
C.It will take in light.
D.It will produce energy.
(4).The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future________.
A.will be more delicious.
B.will be greener.
C.need more cooks.
D.cost as much as possible.
(5).A chimney can be a useful air conditioner but it used to cause________ .
A.techniques.
B.pollution.
C.noise.
D.accident.
69.Conor Grennan was unwilling to be a volunteer(志愿者). The 29-year-old American was not sure if he had the skills or a strong feeling for it.
However, he went to work at an orphanage(孤兒院) in Nepal. His first thought was to make people impressed.
"I thought that if I volunteered just once. I could retell the story over and over," Grennan said in a Huffington Post article.
However, his three-month stay in the orphanage turned into in unusual experience. It was 2004 and Grennan had given up his job to begin a year-long around-the-world trip, His first three months were spent in Nepal.
When he arrived in the village, he knew nothing about the children or the local culture. When he opened the gate of the Little Princes Children's Home, he was faced by the excited children.
The young American ended up caring for 18 children. He later discovered that they were trafficked(被拐賣的)children. So he walked through the mountains with great difficulty to find the kids' families, "I started walking with photos of the kids." he told the Reuters reporter. "I would show up in villages and show photographs around. I went with 24 photos, and I found 24 families."
At the same time, he put his heart into Nepalese culture.
Grennan said, “Volunteering is the single best way to see how the rest of the world lives.”
He also encouraged others to do what he had done. He believes that volunteering needs only making decisions to show up.
Grennan's fight against child-trafficking has changed him. His book, Little Prince, came out last week.

74.In North America, most students go to school by bus. The subway is also widely used in some cities. In small towns and cities, walking is still popular.
The yellow school bus is a familiar sight all over North America. It is a very convenient form of transportation because it takes students right to the entrance to the school. It also gives students opportunity to chat with their friends. However, the bus is slow and does not always pick up on time.
The subway is a means of getting around quickly in many cities. However, it is expensive and can be very crowded during rush hour. Another disadvantage of the subway is that the stops are not so close to the school, and students often have to walk considerable distance or take a bus from the subway stop to the school.
Walking has a number of advantages for those who live reasonable close to school. It's free and it provides a form of exercise. However, it's no fun if you have a large backpack full of books to carry. It's also unpleasant if the weather is either too hot or cold or wet.
