SECTION A READING COMPREHENSION?

TEXT A ?
短文大意：本文讲述Mrs．McGillicuddy在乘火车经过一个站台前后的一段奇特见闻。?
66．答案：B?
【参考译文】当McGillicuddy夫人乘坐的火车经过车站时，它如何？?
【试题分析】本题为细节题。?
【详细解答】短文开头就说 “The train clattered over points and passed through astation．”“Then it began suddenly to slow down…”，由此可知，火车既没有突然加速，也没保持原速，更没有立刻停下来，而是改变了它的速度。所以选项B为正确答案。

67．答案：A?
【参考译文】McGillicuddy夫人是一个怎样的人？?
【试题分析】本题为推理题。?
【详细解答】这篇短文有很多细节描写，如有几列火车，各列车何时加速何时减速，怎么样平行行驶，在不同的时间有不同的情况发生，这些都是以McGillicuddy夫人的视角展开描写的。文中还写到，尽管大多数窗帘拉上了，但是她还是看见了另一列火车上的杀人案。由此可见，McGillicuddy夫人是一个善于观察的人。?

68．答案：D?
【参考译文】看见并行的火车上发生的事，她感觉如何？?
【试题分析】本题为细节题。?
【详细解答】短文第四段说“Then she drew her breath in with a gasp and half-rose to her feet”，即可怕的景象吓得她发呆，故选项D为正确答案。?

69．答案：B?
【参考译文】她为什么没有马上按响她所乘的火车的警报？?
【试题分析】本题为细节题。?
【详细解答】短文倒数第二段说“…Mrs．McGillicuddy’s hand went up to the communication cord，then paused，irresolute．After all，what use would it be ringing the cord of the train in which she was travelling?” McGillicuddy夫人看到的情景发生在另一列火车上，那么按响她所乘的火车的警报是不起任何作用的，也就是说她认为这样做没什么意义，故选项B为正确答案。?

TEXT B ?

70．答案：C?

71．答案：A?
【参考译文】根据作者的意见，下列哪一项不会引起城里人不幸福？?
【试题分析】本题为细节题。?
【详细解答】短文第二段描写的是城市生活的弊端。由“The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear…people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other．”可知，城市生活“lack of communication”；由“The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks，noisy，dirty and impersonal…All you can see from your window is sky，or other blocks of flats．”可知，城市生活“housing conditions”；由“Children…cooped up at home all day…their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world．”可知，城市生活是“a sense of isolation”。文中没有提及“a strong sense of fear”，故A为正确答案。?

72．答案：C?
【参考译文】根据短文，在乡村不容易买到的东西是哪一项？?
【试题分析】本题为推理题。?
【详细解答】短文第三段倒数第二句说“Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town.”，即住在一个小村庄里，购物是一个大问题，即使只是稍微特别的物品，人们也必须到附近大城镇去买。由此可知，在乡村不容易买到的东西应是designer clothes。

73．答案：C?
【参考译文】根据短文，用下列哪一个词来描述在大城市工作而在乡村生活的人最合适？?
【试题分析】本题为语义题。?

【详细解答】短文第四段最后一句说“They generally have about as much sensitivity…the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages．”即他们一般还是比较敏感的，……他们也把某些改变强加给当地农村居民。故用“Arrogant” （骄横的）来描述在大城市工作而在乡村生活的人最合适。?

74．答案：B?
【参考译文】你认为作者会搬迁到农村去吗？?
【试题分析】本题为推理题。?
【详细解答】最后一段说“I’m keen on the idea, but you see there’s my cat, Toby.I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass. I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.”作者以他的猫为例，说他没有把握它一定会喜欢新鲜空气及到草地练习，并在最后作了否定的答复。可见，作者是不会去农村生活的。?

But at the same time they must spend enough time on separate interests with separate people to preserve and develop theirseparate personalities and keep their relationship fresh.”即正如所有友情一样，夫妇必须尽力保持对彼此的兴趣，给予充足的时间来分享有趣的活动，以不断提供共同兴趣；同时还必须花费足够的时间于个人兴趣方面，以保持独立的个性，并使他们的关系保持新鲜。选项B全面地概括了这短话的意思，故为正确答案。?

【参考译文】短文最后似乎暗示孩子怎样？?
【试题分析】本题为细节题。?
【详细解答】短文最后一段说“…the children are allowed to command all time and attention，allowing the couple no time to develop liking and friendship，as well as love…”，由此可知，夫妻间感情变淡甚至消失的原因可能是孩子占用了两人过多的时间，孩子成为了婚姻关系的障碍，故选项C为正确答案。?

Travel Broadens the Mind?

Nowadays, travel has become a popular activity. More and more people have enough money to travel abroad or at home. As a matter of fact, travel has become part of our life. This situation is encouraging, for it not only broadens people's minds to the extend which may not be reached previously, but also relaxes the
m physically, which help people work out mental problems more actively.?

One of my best friends is so exclusively engaged in his works that he did not even know what was happening out of his own discipline. What’s worse, his progress was nearly little. After accepting my advice, he travelled a few cities and towns. The experience gave him a good opportunity of learning. Today, he gets a bumper harvest in his knowledge——the longstanding dream of entering graduate school comes true.?

In conclusion, travel opens our mind because it enables us to know about the history and culture of a nation. In a way, going on travels is like reading books..?
