I was a single parent with my son. Two jobs allowed me an apartment, food, and child care payment. Little money was left over for clothes, _36 I kept us nicely dressed. Loving _37 , I bought for myself beautiful reds and oranges, and greens and pinks. And quite often I wore them in mixtures, which, against the usually correct way, brought 38 to the eyes of people who could not avoid 39 me.
I went to my son’s 40 frequently. And he would always come and greet me and my colorful clothes. 41 , when my son was six, he told me _42_ that he had to talk to me.
“Mother, do you have any sweaters that 43 ?”
I said, “No, I don’t.”
“Oh, I wish you did, 44 you could wear them to my school.” Then he continued, “Mother, could you please 45 come to school when they call you?” Then I realized that my dress was a(n) 46 to him.
I learned to be a little more careful to 47 causing him displeasure. As he grew older and more confident, I gradually 48 to my particular way of dressing. I was happier when I chose and created my own 49 .
I have lived in this body all my life and know it much 50 than any fashion designer, I think I know what looks good 51 me.

“Privacy” is translated as“yin si”in Chinese. Traditionally, in the Chinese mind,“yin si”is associated with that which is closed or unfair. If someone is said to have“yin si”, meddlers (好事者) will be attracted to pry(打探)into his or her affairs. So people always state that they don't have“yin si”.
On the contrary, Americans often declare their intention to protect their privacy. Their understanding of privacy is that others have no right to pry into things which belong to themselves alone and have nothing to do with others. One who is too curious and who spreads rumors is said to violate the right to privacy.
In the evening, Sonia and I went to a bar for dinner. In China, when people mention bars, something bad usually comes to mind. But here, the bar was a quiet and tastefully laid out place. People spoke quite softly, afraid of interrupting their neighbors, and sat face to face as they drank, sometimes three or five persons sitting together.
This sort of atmosphere was totally different from my preconception(傳統(tǒng)觀念), so I wanted to take a picture. Sonia stopped me:“Don't you see these people are pouring out their hearts? Maybe they are colleagues, friends, secret lovers. They came here looking for a peaceful place free from interruption by others. They wouldn't want to leave any trace of their having come here. So taking their pictures would be a serious violation of their right to privacy.”
Is there privacy between husband and wife? One of Sonia's friends married a talented Chinese man, but recently she became so angry that she wanted a divorce(離婚). The reason was that her husband had opened one of her letters and looked through her purse. The husband didn't realize that this is not tolerated in the U.S. He thought that being a couple was like being one person; why couldn't he see the letter or the contents of the purse? Truly, everyone, even those living as a couple, needs room--not only in three-dimensional(三維) space, but in the heart.
1．What is the main idea of the text?
[ ]
A．The understanding of“privacy”is different in China and America.
B．There is privacy between husband and wife in America.
C．Everyone has the right to privacy.
D．Everyone in every country needs room for himself.
2．Sonia stopped me when I wanted to take a picture in the bar because _____.
[ ]
A．taking pictures in a bar was not allowed in America
B．taking pictures in a bar would interrupt the neighbors
C．people who came here are colleagues，friends or secret lovers
D．taking pictures in a bar would violate other people's right to privacy
3．One of Sonia's friends wanted a divorce because _____.
[ ]
A．she thought her husband was not clever enough
B．her husband always opened her letters
C．her husband always looked through her purse
D．her husband didn't respect her right to privacy
4．Which of the following statements is NOT the Americans' understanding of privacy?
[ ]
A．Privacy is connected with something that is unfair and bad.
B．Other people have no right to pry into his or her affairs.
C．There is privacy even between couples.
D．The right to privacy shouldn't be violated by others.
5．According to this text, we can infer that in America we can do all the following except _____.
[ ]
A．declaring that we have privacy
B．going to a bar with friends
C．a(chǎn)sking your friends about their marriage
D．taking pictures in a national park

第三部分：閱讀理解(共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分)
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
When I worked in Swaziland, one day we went to an orphanage. There we found a beautiful little girl named Tanzile. I gave her a sweet and she said something back to me in Si-swati, which the nurse next to me translated, “She wants another one — to give to her little sister.” I said “of course”. When we were going to leave, we passed by Tanzile’s house to say goodbye. To our surprise she seemed to be holding on to that extra sweet I had given her. I remember saying to the nurse “this little darling is clever — she has taken two for herself.”
But the nurse told us, “Tanzile is 7 now. Two years ago her mum and dad both died of AIDS. She was separated from her sister who was three at the time. Tanzile has not laid eyes on her since. But from then on whenever Tanzile receives anything from anyone, including food — she refuses to accept it, unless they give her two.” In fact, in the little mud hut where she lives, we find a pile of old things which she has been collecting to give to her sister one day.
People sometimes look at faces of African children and think that they are somehow different from our kids — that somehow they don’t feel pain or love. But that is not true. Their pain is deep. And so is their love. I can still remember the nurse trying to convince her that “if someone gives you food, you must accept it — even if it is only one piece and not two — for your own health.” And it was so hard for us to keep the tears from our eyes as she shook her head. Her hope and her love was all that she had. It mattered more than anything else. When I returned home that day, I was shocked to find that this was not an isolated story but others in the hospital knew of orphans just like Tanzile — waiting with a little pile of things in their hut, for their lovers who they haven’t seen so long.
I think of that old song — “when we’re hungry, love will keep us alive.”
56． From the passage we can learn Tanzile__________.
A. is very clever B. knows her sister has died
C. has stored a lot for her sister D. doesn’t like sweets
57． How old was her sister when the author met with Tanzile?
A. Three years old. B. Four years old.
C. Five years old. D. Six years old.
58． What has the author learned from her experience in Africa?
A. Love is more important in life than anything else.
B. African children are different in a way.
C. African children should be treated fairly.
D. We should express our love in time.
59． The best title for the passage would be __________
A. Give every child two sweets B. Tanzile’s love for her sister
C. One for my sister D. Change your attitude to African children

There is a saying in French—“Si vieillesse pouvait, si jeunesse savait”—which means roughly “if age had the ability, if youth had the knowledge.” I was reminded of this saying the other day when I saw an interview with a distinguished Asian neurosurgeon(神經(jīng)外科醫(yī)生), now retired, about the impact of computer technology on modern surgery.
He was referring to the difficulty people of his age had in using the new techniques, but also to the fact that younger surgeons, who are more comfortable with the technology, lack some of the wisdom of experience.
It struck me that this problem is not just confined(局限于) to specialized fields such as medicine, but is widespread in modern life. There are many areas where the rapid growth of technology has widened the generation gap.
Young people are at ease with modern technology and propose all sorts of ways for using and developing it. But they often lack the experience needed to see further into the future to the possible dangers that a particular development may cause.
Older people see all sorts of difficulties and dangers, but are sometimes ignored, or even accused of being against progress, if they point out potential problems. Equally, they may see potential uses, but not have the technical skills to put them into practice themselves or the trust in the younger generation to do so.
Enthusiasm and inexperience come into conflict with caution and arrogance, usually with unsatisfactory results for both sides.
What is needed is the development of a partnership, based on mutual respect, which can deliver real progress by combining enthusiasm and caution in a constructive way, rather than in conflict with each other. The old need to give the younger generation the time, the resources and, above all, the authority to develop new ideas and use their skills. In exchange, the young need to turn more actively to the older generation to seek their advice and exploit their greater experience of the world in foreseeing and overcoming potential problems.
【小題1】The passage is mainly about ________.
| A．the impact of computer technology on modern surgery |
| B．a(chǎn)n interview with a distinguished Asian neurosurgeon |
| C．new generation gap between the old and the young |
| D．a(chǎn) conflict between knowledge and experience |
| A．introduce the topic |
| B．show the difference between French and English |
| C．make readers confused |
| D．prove the writer’s wisdom |
| A．Old people’s enthusiasm in obtaining new technology. |
| B．Old people’s difficulty in using computers. |
| C．Young surgeons’ bad manners in working. |
| D．Young surgeons’ difficulty in getting experience. |
| A．They are happy with modern technology. |
| B．They are easy to learn new techniques. |
| C．They can foresee the future of the young generation. |
| D．They are rich in work experience. |
| A．The young and the old should respect and learn from each other. |
| B．The young should teach the old modern technology. |
