第三部分：阅读（共两节，满分50分）

第一节：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项, 请将答案按题号涂到相应的答题卡题号上。

A

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.

I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.

So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升)， the bigger paycheck, the larger house.

Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure (空闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.

It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.

I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned. By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.

31. The best title of this passage probably is ________.

A. Love your friends B. Live a real life C. Don’t waste time D. Be a good mother and wife

32. How did the author form her view of life?

A. By working and social experience B. Learning from her friends.

C. Through an unfortunate experience. D. Because of her children and husband.

33. The underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live” in the fifth paragraph probably means ______.

A. it is so easy to keep alive but not to live a real life B. it is very hard to live a real life

C. it is more difficult to exist than to live a happy life D. it is so easy to make a living

34. What is the author’s attitude toward work?

A. Do it well to serve others. B. To earn enough money to make life better.

C. Try your best to get higher position and pay. D. Don’t let it affect your real life.

35. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. the author is a success in personal life

B. the author didn’t try her best to work well

C. the author spent all her time caring for her children

D. the author likes traveling very much

B

When former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president’s wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohm Myong Suk. Therefore, she should be addressed (称谓) as Mrs. Sohm.

President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.

In addition to Koreans some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.

Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word “de”, which means “of”. This affects how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.

Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name. Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed (颠倒). Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.

36. The story of Bill Clinton is used to _____ .

A. improve US Korean relations B. introduce the topic of the text

C. describe his visit to Korea D. tell us how to address a person

37. The word “gears” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. action plans B. naming customs C. travel maps D. thinking patterns

38. When a woman marries in Korea, she _____.

A. continues to use her family name B. uses her husband’s given name

C. shares her husband’s f
