二、阅读理解（共 3 道试题，共 60 分。）V 1.  

Hi, Sharon,
    I've only got 10 days left in England. Can you believe I've already been here for a year? There's so much to do before I leave! I really must buy presents for my English friends to thank them for all their help. I have to move out of my room on Friday because Franco has got another tenant. At least I don't have to find somewhere else to live. I'm going to spend a few days with friends. He is letting the whole flat because Mary is moving just before her marriage. The time has gone so quickly. I cannot believe that I've been here for a whole year. And I must start packing too - I have bought a lot since I came, and I need another suitcase. I'll give some things to charity shops I think.
    Anyway, I'm really writing to say that I'll be back in Shanghai on the 27 April, and it would be great to see you to catch up on all our news. I'll phone as soon as I get back.
How are things with you?

2.      Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed (紧抱的) flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
    Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and, above all, the insects.
    I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle (谜), because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.
    But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.

1). According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be _____.
A. self-disciplined
B. full of enthusiasm
C. full of ambition
D. knowledgeable
      满分：4  分
2). The first paragraph tells us that the author _____.
A. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood
B. lost his hearing when he was a child
C. didn’t like his brothers and sisters
D. was born to a naturalist’s family
      满分：4  分
3). The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he _____.
A. just reads about other people’s observations and discoveries
B. comes up with solutions in most natural way
C. has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic
D. lacks some of the qualities required of a scientist
      满分：4  分
4). The author can’t remember his relatives clearly because _____.
A. he was fully occupied with observing nature
B. he didn’t live very long with them
C. the family was extremely large
D. he was too young when he lived with them
      满分：4  分
5). Which of the following statements is true?
A. The author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scientist.
B. The author’s brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.
C. The author read a lot of books about the natural world and the oil industry.
D. The author spent a lot of time working on riddles.

3.      What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colors preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up----we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
　Colors do influence our moods — there is no doubt about it .A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area — until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
　Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.

1). "You would rather follow than lead" means___
A. you don't like to follow others
B. you would be a member rather than a leader
C. you would be afraid of following others
D. you would like to be a leader rather than a follower
      满分：4  分
2). If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer___
A. red to yellow
B. blue to orange
C. red to grey
D. blue to yellow
      满分：4  分
3). "They tell us, among other facts, that we don't choose our favorite colors as we grow up. "Among other facts" means__
A. besides other facts
B. in regard to other facts
C. not considering other facts
D. according to other facts
      满分：4  分
4). Which of the following is facts?
A. People's preference of one color to another is instinct.
B. People's preference of one color to another is acquired as they grow up.
C. More people happen to love brown because they saw something brown when they were born.
D. Colors have little influence on our moods.
      满分：4  分

A. its shape
B. its structure
C. its color
D. its building materials
