第三部分 阅读(共两节，25小题，每小题2分，满分50分)
第一节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B，C和D项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.
One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength making its way by fierce strokes(猛力地划) to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys. “Do you know what you have done?” they said, “It’s Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym, he has got his football honor.”
I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when be was wrapped in a bath towel and so small. He didn’t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word, “My father, who is a great man, is also small.” At this he laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.
51. The writer thought Amery “a fair game” because the boy .
A. looked like an animal B. was fond of games
C. was of similar size D. was good at sports
52. The writer felt “ashamed” because.
A. he was laughed at by other boys B. Amery turned out to be in the same grade
C. he pushed Amery hard and hurt him D. he played a joke on an outstanding athlete
53. By saying “My father, who is a great man, is also small”, the writer.
A. tried to please Amery B. challenged Amery
C. threatened Amery D. admired his father
54. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The writer could run faster than Amery.
B. The writer liked playing on boys of all sizes.
C. Amery was a student in Grade Four.
D. Amery forgave the writer for his rude behavior.
55. What does the underlined word “overtook” mean?
A. catch hold of B. catch up withC. take a look at D. shout at
B.
The phone is ringing at the other end of the line and it clicks as it is being answered. A voice says quickly, “Hello, will you hold, please?” then there is another click, followed by silence. It seems like hours before someone comes back on the line—that is, if you don’t hang up first.
Office calls are, perhaps, the most difficult and the most important part of a secretary’s work. The first impression that a client（顾客）receives about a business is often through a telephone contact. A caller who is left hanging on “hold” will get the feeling that he or she has been forgotten or ignored. If a call is answered rudely, the caller may become angry. And if the call is not routed directly to the right person, the caller may feel that he or she is getting the “run-around”.
Laura Needham is a secretary in the executive offices of a large manufacturing company. As a good office secretary, Laura knows that all phone calls must be answered quickly and handled efficiently. She knows that a secretary must be pleasant and helpful, no matter how busy she is or what kind of mood she may be in. She knows she must keep calm if a caller gets impatient or becomes angry; also, of course, she knows she can never allow herself to lose her temper. If she does not have the information the caller asks for, she must know who does have the information. Finally, she knows that one of her most important responsibilities is to “screen” telephone calls and to know which calls to refer to her boss, which calls to refer to other people, and which calls to handle herself.
A well-handled telephone call will give the caller a good impression of the company he or she is dealing with. For this reason, an office secretary who can handle telephone calls cheerfully, tactfully（机敏）, and efficiently is a valuable asset（财富）to any organization.
56. The underlined phrase “run-around” probably means .
A. a strange experience B. a flat refusal
C. a not-so-warm welcome D. a cold response
57. Laura knows quite well that a secretary must be .
A. quick and busy B. pleasant and helpful
C. calm and patient D. both B and C
58. The underlined word “screen” means .
A. give an answer to
B. show something on a piece of cloth
C. separate things of one sort from those of another
D. watch something on the screen
59. According to this passage a secretary can never be a good one unless she .
A. knows how to please her clients(委托人)
B. often asks her boss how to deal with telephone calls
C. has the information her clients need
D. can keep calm and never loses her temper
60. This passage is mainly about .
A. well-handled telephone calls
B. the importance of handling office calls
C. a good secretary called Laura Needham
D. a secretary being a valuable asset to her company

C
Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them.
I am blessed with a dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does not change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad it is that I am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen.
How does a daughter thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? For running after a toddler, for understanding a moody teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows everything? For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes what her mother really is?
How does a grown woman thank a mother for continuing to be a mother? For being ready with advice (when asked) or remaining silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying: “I told you so”, when she could have uttered these words dozens of times? For being essentially herself---loving, thoughtful, patient, and forgiving?
I don’t know how, dear God, except to bless her as richly as she deserves and to help me live up to the example she has set. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine.
A daughter
