Part 3 Reading and Writing (第三部分 读写)

Ⅵ. Reading comprehension (阅读理解)

A. Choose the best answer (根据以下内容,选择最恰当的答案)

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone’s satisfaction.

For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or

3

does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute(代用品)impolitely; he does so with skill: “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the colour you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.” Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great shop by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. uppermost(最重要的)in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lockout(停工;停止)for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another to and fro(来回地;往复), often retracing (折返)her stops, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious(艰苦的)process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands. 55. The passage mainly talks about ________. A. differences between men and women shoppers B. a man goes shopping because he needs something C. how women go about buying clothes D. women are better at shopping than men

56. The underlined sentence “the price is a secondary consideration” in the first paragraph means when a man is shopping ________.

A. he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too dear B. he buys whatever he likes without considering its value C. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things D. he often buys things without giving the matter proper thought 57. What does the underlined word “promptly” mean?

A. Immediately. B. Happily. C. Luckily. D. Surprisingly.

4

58. What does a man do when he cannot get exactly what he wants? A. He buys a similar thing because of the colour he wants. B. He usually does not buy anything.

C. At least two of his requirements must bu met before he buys. D. So long as the style is right, he buys the thing. 59. What happens if a woman buys clothes in a shop?

A. She tries on the dress, and if it fits her, she will finish the purchase. B. She never knows exactly what she wants, and often buys nothing.

C. She often has no definite idea of what she really wants and often buys a lot more than her expectation.

D. She will retrace among the rails and try to find the dress that everyone thinks suits her. 60. What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers? A. Men do not try clothes on in a shop while women do. B. Women bargain(讨价还价)for their clothes, but men do not. C. The time they take over buying clothes.

D. Men go shopping based on need, but women never.

The coffee was very special and it changed the water. “Who are you?” asked her father, “When bad luck knocks at your door, what’s your reaction? Are you carrots, eggs or coffee?’

61. A. look up B. give up C. grow up D. put up 62. A. about B. in C. without D. with 63. A. what B. how C. why D. when 64. A. However B. In addition C. At last D. At first 65. A. explained B. examined C. denied D. expressed 66. A. delicious B. sweet C. healthy D. weak

D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)

Nowadays, crowds of tourists travelled to the campuses of Tsinghua and Peking Universities. “Tsinghua University opens to the public at 8: 30 a.m, however, many people start to line up at 3-4 a.m, because people who come at 6 a.m. may be too late and can only enter in the afternoon,” a guard told People’s Daily.

In fact, it’s not only Chinese universities that are overcrowded with tourists in summer. Cambridge and Oxford in the United Kingdom also come across the same problem.

According to the Guardian, the road in front of King’s College, Cambridge is usually filled with tourists, including Chinese schoolchildren in uniforms, before most coach (长途汽车) tours have even arrived.

Universities in the United States are also popular among Chinese tourists. Nine out of ten Chinese visitors to the US want to tour a university, according to a survey.

So why do Chinese tourists have such a big love for famous universities?

One reason is that many parents hope to get their children accepted into a top university in the future, according to People’s Daily.

One of the mothers from Hunan Province said while walking her 14-year-old son around the campuses of Tsinghua and Peking universities this summer, “I brought him here to see what top universities look like and let him compare them with those of our hometown. I hope he can learn something and be inspired to come here to study in the future,” she told China Daily.

And it’s not just ambitious students and parents you’ll find touring campuses. A tourist of 31, who comes from Xi’an, visited tow famous US universities in 2014. “American universities are much more open than Chinese ones. There are no walls,” he told The New York Times, “I was excited. I felt this urge to have a free exchange of ideas with someone.” 74. When do most tourists start to line up at Tsinghua University? 75. What problem do Cambridge and Oxford come across? 76. King’s College tourists love to visit famous universities?

77. How many Chinese visitors to the US want to tour a university? 78. Why do Chinese tourists love to visit famous university? 79. Do you want to visit the famous universities? Why or why not? VII. Writing (写话)
