第二部分 阅读理解
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项
涂黑。（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Where is it possible to drive from Rome to Moscow, Madrid, Paris, Vienna, and Stockholm without going to Europe? The answer is in the state of Maine!
Throughout the United States there are many towns and cities that have been named after not only European cities but other countries as well, such as China, Poland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Just how many New World place names are recycled from the Old World names has never been tallied, but one researcher found forty-one Londons, fifty-six Berlins, twenty-four Dublins, thirty-two Athenses, and twenty-seven Moscows, among others!
Reasons for European place names differ. Some were in memory of settlers’ former homes, others in honor of historic events. Founded in 1818 by John Coffee, Robert Beaty, John D. Carroll, and John Read, Athens is one of the oldest incorporated cities in the State of Alabama. The town was first called Athenson, and the name was then shortened to Athens, after the ancient city in Greece. More interestingly, some names were given by mistake. For instance, the people of Moscow, Kansas, wanted to their city to follow the name of the explorer Moscoso. They shortened his name to Mosco, and an official in Washington, thinking the Kansans couldn't spell, added a ‘W’.
41. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. In the state of Maine there are many different European cities.
B. You can drive to many European cities from the state of Maine.
C. All the settlers in the state of Maine came from Europe.
D. The state of Maine has many cities named after European cities.
42. The word “tallied” (Line 4, Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to ________.
A. built B. believed C. visited D. added
43. What might have made the official in Washington change Mosco into Moscow?
A. He couldn't spell very well and made a mistake. B. Moscow was a world-famous city name.
C. He believed Moscow was a far better name. D. He thought Moscoso would prefer Moscow.
44. The best title for the passage is ________.
A. The Story of Moscow, Kansas B. American Cities and Their Names
C. Old World Place Names in America D. Interesting Names
B
He met her at a party. She was outstanding; many guys were after her, but no one paid attention to him. After the party, he invited her for coffee. She was surprised, In order not to appear rude, she went along.

As they sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, he asked the waiter. “Could you please give me some salt? I’d like to put it in my coffee.”
They stared at him. He turned red, but when the salt came he put it in his coffee and drank. Curious, she asked. “Why salt with coffee?” He explained. “When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea… I could feel its salty taste, like salty coffee. Now every time I drink it. I think of my childhood and my hometown. I miss it and my parents, who are still there.”
She was deeply touched. A man who can admit that he’s homesick must love his home and care about his family. He must be responsible.
She talked too. About her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was the start of their love story.
They continued to date. She found that he met all her requirements. He was tolerant, kind, warm and careful. And to think she would have missed the catch if not for the salty coffee!
So they married and lived happily together. And every time she made coffee for him, she put in some salt, the way he liked it.
After 40 years, he passed away and left her a letter which said:
My dearest, please forgive my life-long lie. Remember the first time we dated?
I was so nervous that I asked for salt instead of sugar.
It was hard for me to ask for a change, so I just went ahead. I never thought that we would hit it off. Many times, I tried to tell you the truth, but I was afraid that it would ruin everything.
Sweetheart, I don’t exactly like salty coffee. But as it mattered so much to you, I’ve learnt to enjoy it. Having you with me was my greatest happiness. If I could live a second time, I hope we can be together again, even if it means that I have to drink salty coffee for the rest of my life.
45. She accepted his invitation for coffee because ______.
A. she fell in love with him B. no one paid attention to him
C. she didn’t want to be rude D. no one else was interested in her
46. Why did the man ask for salt instead of sugar when dating her the first time?
A. Salty coffee made him miss his parents. B. Salty coffee reminded him of his childhood.
C. He was so nervous that he made a mistake. D. He was telling a lie on purpose.
47. What might be the woman’s feeling after she read the letter?
A. Disappointed B. Touched C. Hurt D. Angry
C
Here are some of the world’s most impressive subways.
The Tokyo Metro and Toei Lines
Features: The Tokyo Metro and Toei lines that compose Tokyo’s massive subway system carry almost 8 million people each day, making it the busiest system in the world. The system is famous for its oshiya--- literally, “pusher”--- who shove passengers into crowded subway cars so the doors can close. And you think your commute is hell.
The Moscow Metro

Features: The Moscow Metro has some of the most beautiful stations in the world. The best of them were built during the Stalinist era and feature chandeliers(枝形吊灯), marble moldings and elaborate murals(精美的壁画). With more than 7 million riders a day, keeping all that marble clean has got to be a burden.
The Hong Kong Metro

Features: The Hong Kong MTR has the distinction of being one of the few subway systems in the world that actually turns a profit. It’s privately owned and uses real estate development along its tracks to increase income and ridership. It also introduced “Octopus cards” that allow people to not only pay their fares electronically, but buy stuff at convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants and even parking meters. It’s estimated that 95 % of all adults in Hong Kong own an Octopus card .
Shanghai Metro

Features: Shanghai is the third city in China to build a metro system, and it has become the country’s largest in the 12 years since it opened. Shanghai Metro has 142 miles of track and plans to add another 180 miles within five years. By that point, it would be three times larger than Chicago “L”. The system carries about 2.18 million people a day.
The London
Metro
Features: Londoners call their subway the Underground, even though 55 percent of it lies above ground. No matter when you’ve got the oldest mass-transit system in the world, you can call it anything you like. Trains started in1863 and they’ve been running ever since. Some 3 million people ride each day, every one of them remembering to “Mind the gap”.

Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “the study of old things”. So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historian
