第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Sure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.
But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, “learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.
In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying（欺凌弱小者）.
As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’ re like a sponge（海绵）, able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place – to teach!
Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive（敏感的）to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’ t enjoy being in class.

56．In the passage, the author mainly talks about .
A．how to get a long well with teachers
B．the importance of a good relation with teachers
C．how much the students are expected of to get along with teachers
D．how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant
57．“Learning bursts right open”in the third paragraph really means .
A．learning becomes easier for you at once
B．you find an opening to learning
C．there’ll be more problems with learning
D．there’ll be no problems with learning
58．According to the passage, which of the following offers the best reasoning?
A. You are getting on well with your teachers, so you have more questions than others.
B. You find it comfortable to ask questions, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.
C. You have a good relationship with your teacher, so you can turn to him/her when in trouble.
D. You are in trouble, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.
59．Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?
A．Teachers are excited even if you wouldn’t like to accept their teaching.
B．Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.
C．Though few there are still some students who can learn even if they don’t like the teacher.
D．Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.

B
Frank Lloyd Wright probably is the greatest architect that the United States has ever produced. He was very gifted and had a natural ability to design buildings. His buildings were not only beautiful, but they were also practical and useful. They fit their purposes very well. Wright’s churches, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel comfortable, at home. However, Frank Lloyd Wright’s beautiful, practical and useful buildings are not the only reason that he is famous. There is another reason.
Frank Lloyd Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wright’s buildings do not look like old European buildings. They have their own style. Wright’s ideas about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.
The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wright’s Style of Architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it. His houses are often called “grass-land houses” because their lines are similar to the lines on the grassland. Both the lines of the grassland and the lines of Wright’ s house are parallel to the horizon(与地平线平行), the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, in contrast, have many vertical lines that form 90°angles with the horizon.
60．Frank Lloyd Wright’s style in architecture was ________.
A．learned from some European countries
B．not only limited to the U.S
C．no longer popular
D．somewhat similar to the European style
61．Which of the following best describes the character of the houses that Wright designed?
A．They were very large and beautiful.
B．They were very comfortable.
C．They could be used as churches.
D．They were beautiful in design but not practical in use.
62．What is the most important idea in Wright’s style?
A. Architectural design should match natural surroundings.
B. A building must have grassland around it.
C. American style in architecture should be different from European’s.
D. Design should be more important than use.
63．Which of the following is NOT true about Wright’s “grass-land houses”?
A. The lines of “grass-land houses” are similar to lines on the grassland.
B. The lines of “grass-land houses” are horizontal.
C. The color of the lines of “grass-land houses” is green.
D. They are different from European style houses.

C
Language as a System of Symbols
Of all systems of symbols (符号), language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual (相互的)dependency, to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of agreements language.
There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.
However obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connections. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature: foreigners have such funny names for things, and why can’t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said: “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals,” they feel that the symbol is inherently (内在地) connected in some way with the things symbolized.

64. Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings _________.
A. have made use of language for centuries
B. use our nervous systems to support language
C. have made various noises stand for any events
D. can make anything stand for anything by agreement
65. What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?
A. Different noises may mean different things.
B. Our culture determines what a symbol stands for.
C. The language we use symbolizes our social positions.
D. Our social positions determine the way we are dressed.
66. In Paragraph 3, “take special pains” probably means “_________”.
A. try very hard B. take our time
C. are very unhappy D. feel especially painful
67. The example of the little boy is used to show that _________.
A. adults often learn from their young
B. “pig” is a dirty word
