三． 阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
A
Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit (限速)?
If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk (象鼻) said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear( 矛 ) as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who took hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked liked a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The last, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.
Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.
To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water (温水)in the third. Now put your left hand in the hot water. Put your right hand in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it is hot.
36. The man who touched the elephant’s ears must be very_______.
A. heavy B. thin C. tall D. strong
37. The underlined word “it” in the last line of the paragraph refers to _______.
A. your left hand B. your right hand C. the water D. the bowl
38. What makes people think about simple facts differently?
A. People’s wrong ideas. B. People’s different experience.
C. Simple facts are different sometimes. D. People often disagree with each other.
39. It can be inferred from the passage that we should__________.
A. learn from the blind men B. not agree about simple facts
C. never think about simple facts D. never decide anything with one side
B
Each year the Pritzker Architecture Prize (普立兹克建筑奖) goes to a star designer with a long list of attractive buildings around the world. This year’s winner is a little different.
Shigeru Ban has designed museums, homes and concert halls. But Ban is best known for a more simple kind of work: the temporary (临时旳) buildings for people who became homeless after disasters.
Ban may be the only designer in the world who makes buildings out of paper — cardboard paper tubes (管). Ban actually tested the strength of cardboard tubes, and said he was surprised by what he had discovered. He has used them to build temporary buildings in Japan, Haiti, China and elsewhere.
“After a disaster, the building material is going to be more expensive,” Ban explains. “But the paper tube is actually not a building material. It is cheap and plentiful. We can get the material easily anywhere. And unlike costs for traditional building materials, the price of paper tubes doesn’t jump after an earthquake or flood. The tubes are also lightweight, so you don’t need heavy machines to work with them.”
Ban started using cardboard paper tubes in the 1980s. At that time he had just graduated from the architecture school, and he was looking for a cheap substitute for wood. So he started reusing the paper cardboard tubes that were left over from rolls of paper in his office.
Ban was born in Tokyo and studied architecture in the U.S. before moving back to Japan to start his practice. Some of Ban’s temporary buildings have become permanent (永久旳), like the paper church he built after the 1995 earthquake in Kobe, Japan.
40. The author uses the first paragraph to .
A. raise an argument B. give an introduction
C. give an example D. offer a description
41. What is special about Shigeru Ban?
A. He failed to get this year’s architecture prize.
B. He graduated from the best architecture school in the U.S.
C. He is good at building houses for homeless people.
D. He builds special houses for special groups of people.
42. Why did Shigeru Ban choose cardboard paper tubes?
A. Because they are cheap and easy to take away.
B. Because they are strong and last for a long time.
C. Because they are plentiful and look very beautiful.
D. Because they are common and hard to break.
43. What does the underlined word “substitute” probably refer to?
A. A new way of building houses by using wood.
B. A new method of producing cardboard paper tubes.
C. A new kind of building material to take the place of wood.
D. A new machine to produce a new kind of building material.

Two men were sitting together in a plane. They were on a long journey. One of the men was a businessman. The other was a farmer. They sat without talking for a while, then the farmer said, “Let’s do something to pass the time.”
“What do you want to do?” the businessman asked. “We can ask each other riddles.” The farmer said, “You start.” “Let’s make the rules first,” the businessman said. “That’s not fair. You are a businessman with much knowledge. You know more things than I do. I am just a farmer.”

Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman doctor in the United States. Her success opened the way for other women who wanted to do more than nursing. She was born in England in 1821 and her family moved to America when she was eleven years old.
The Blackwell girls received the same education as their brothers. This was most unusual in those days. Their father died young and they had very little money to live on. Elizabeth and her sisters taught at school. Then a woman dying of cancer urged Elizabeth to study medicine, saying that a woman doctor would have saved her from her worst sufferings. Nearly everyone said a girl should not go to medical school, but she managed to enter Geneva College in New York State. She graduated in 1849 at the head of her class and received the first medical degree ever given to a woman.
Next, Dr. Blackwell went to Paris. Her only chance of training was in a hospital where women came to have their babies. Four months later, while she was working in the French hospital, her left eye became dangerously infected (感染). She lost the eye. She was very disappointed. But she was soon back at work again, this time in London, England. There she met many famous scientists.
In 1859, Elizabeth Blackwell was officially recognized as a doctor in Great Britain — the first woman to be honored. She was the inspiration of Elizabeth Garrett, who began the women’s medical movement in England. Florence Nightingale, founder of the practice of nursing by women, was another of her friends.
Dr. Blackwell died in 1910 at the age of 89.
49. Elizabeth and her sisters taught at school probably to .
A. help support the family B. become women doctors
C. get practical experience D. earn money for the
