第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

A
When milk arrived on the doorstep
When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman
delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and
drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer
fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out
of his coin changer.
Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we
needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note---“Please add a bottle of
buttermilk next delivery”---and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And
then, the buttermilk would magically appear.
All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship
between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to out house, for
those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk
wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our
kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the
production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides,
milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery
service.
Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood
memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch(门廊). Every so often my
son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the
milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
56. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer _______.
A. to show his magical power B. to pay for the delivery
C. to satisfy his curiosity D. to please his mother
57. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s
house?A. He wanted to have tea there. B. He was a respectable person.
C. He was treated as a family member. D. He was fully trusted by the family.
58. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?
A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now. B. It has been driven out of the market.
C. Its service is getting poor. D. It is forbidden by law.
59. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?
A. He missed the good old days. B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.
C. He missed it for his milk bottles. D. He planted flowers in it.
B
The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings
products and services to the attention of people. Throughout history, advertising has
been all effective way to promote（促进）the trading and selling of goods. In the
Middle Ages, merchants employed “town criers” to read public messages aloud to
promote their goods. When printing was invented in the fifteenth century, pages of
advertisements （ads）could be printed easily and were either hung in public places
or put in books.
By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be
read by more people, printed materials became all important way to promote products
and services. The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for
advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies
started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.
Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century. Ad writers were
starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text. Everything, from clothes to
drinks, was promoted with clever methods such as repetition of the firm’s name or
product, words organized in eye-catching patterns, the use of pretty pictures and
expressions easy to remember.
Near the end of the nineteenth century, companies that were devoted to the
production of ads came to be known as “advertising agencies（广告商）.” The
agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of agroup. Throughout the twentieth century, advertising agencies promoted consumerism
（消费主义）as a way of life, spreading the belief that people could be happy only if
they bought the “right” products.
60. What was advertising like in the Middle Ages?
A. Merchants were employed to promote products.
B. Ad messages were shouted out in public places.
C. Product information was included in books.
D. Ad signs were put up in towns.
61. What does the word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Advertising in newspapers. B. Including pictures in ads.
C. Selling goods in markets. D. Working with ad agencies.
62. The l8th century advertising was special in its .
A. growing spending B. printing materials
C. advertising companies D. attractive designs
63. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. The Story of Advertising
B. The Value of Advertising Designs
C. The Role of Newspaper Advertising
D. The Development of Printing for Advertising
C
While small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems,
particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.
The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months
ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and
restaurants. Beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant
tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average
height, it says.
But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average night
of the population has been increasing ye the standard size of beds, doorways, andchairs has remained unchanged.
“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person
using it, so even a king-size bed at 6′6″(6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of
men, while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for less than half of the male population.” said
TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, “seven-foot beds would work fine.”
Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which
mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall
customers go elsewhere.
Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses′ Caledonian
Hotel in Edinburgh, 6′6″beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds
from taller visitors, particularly Americans.
64. What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?
A. To provide better services.
B. To rebuild hotels and restaurants.
C. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.
D. To attract more people to become its members.
65. Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil
Heinricy?
A . 7′2″ B. 7′ C. 6′6″ D. 6′3″
66. What may happen to restaurants with small tables?
A. They may lose some customers.
B. They may start businesses elsewhere.
C. They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.
D. They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.
67. What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?
A. Tall people pay more for larger beds.
B. 6′6″beds have taken the place of 6′3″beds.
C. Special rooms are kept for Americans.
D. Guest rooms are standardized.
DCassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband’s income. So this year
she did something more than a hobby: She planted vegetables in her yard. For her fist
garden, Ms Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of
vegetables. The family’s old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents
arriving next month. Last year, Ms. Rita Gartin kept a small garden. This year she has
made it much larger because, she said, “The cost of everything is going up and I was
looking to lose a few pounds too; so it’s a win-win situation all around.”
They are among the growing number of Americans who, driven by higher living
costs and a falling economy (经济), have taken up vegetable gardening for the first
time. Others have increased the size of their existing gardens. Seed companies and
garden shops say no since the 1970s have there been such an increase in interest in
growing food at home. Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for
several months. In Austin, Tex, some of the gardens have a three-year waiting list.
George C. Ball Jr, owner of a company, said sales of vegetable seeds and plants
are up by 40%, over last year, double the average growth of last five years. Mr. Ball
argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years. The big one
is striking use in me cost on food like bread and milk, together with the increases in
the price of fruit and vegetables. Food prices have increase of higher oil price. People
are driving less, taking fewer vacations, so there more time to garden.
68. What does the word “residents” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?
A. chickens B. tomatoes C. gardens D. people
69. By saying “a win-win situation all around”, Ms. Gartin means that .
A. she is happier and her garden bigger
B. she may spend less and lose weight
C. she is selling more and buying less
D. she has grown more varieties of vegetables
70. Why is vegetable gardening becoming increasingly popular?
A. More Americans are dong it for fun. B. The price of oil is lower than before.
C. There’s a growing need for fruits. D. The cost of living is on the rise.
71. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. Family Food Planning B. Banking on Gardening
C. A Belt-tightening Move D. Gardening as a Hobby

One of my unforgettable memory of my school in 76
Xinjiang is that of lunches we brought from our homes. 77
I hold my lunch-box in my hand when I was going to 78
school. The smell from it was very good. Since the lunch 79bell finally rang, my friends and I met under a tall tree 80
and had our lunches. My best friend Aigulie was used 81
to share her Nang with me. Nang is a specially kind of 82
cake in Xinjiang. I like them very much. Now Aigulie and 83
I study at different colleges or we can only see each other 84

the food and the good time we had together.
