第三部分阅读理解 (共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “And Paul—why didn’t pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” That’s being friendly. But “lucky dog” ? There’s a bit of envy in those words. bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture ? The look in his eyes ? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
56. This passage is mainly about .
A. how to interpret what people say
B. what to do when you listen to others talking
C. how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D. why we go wrong with people sometimes
57. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that .
A. we fail to listen carefully when they talk
B. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say
C. people usually state one thing but mean another
D. we tend to doubt what our friends say
58. In the sentence “Maybe he doesn’t see
refers to .
A. being friendly B. a bit of envy C. lucky dog D. your luck
59. When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is to A. notice the way the person is talking
B. take a good look at the person talking
C. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes
D. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture B

Among various programs, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television.And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style(风格).But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”.The contents on his show are as surprising as can be.For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level.Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people’s lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top.But Oprah goes in the opposite direction.The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality(质量) of life.Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society.Jerry ends every show with a “final word”.He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show.Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone.The show’s main viewers are middleclass Americans.Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life’s tough problems.Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society.These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug.They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show’s exploitation.
68.Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are
_____.
A.more interesting. B.unusually popular. C.more detailed. D.more formal.
69.Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch
the shows____.
A.remain interested in them. C.remain cold to them. B.are ready to face up to them. D.are willing to get away from them.
70.Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?
A.A new type of robot. C.Family income planning. B.Nation hatred(憎恨). D.Street accident.
71.We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_____.
A.have become the only ones of its kind.
B.exploit the weaknesses in human nature. C.appear at different times of the day.
D.attract different people.
E
More than four out of five people admit to telling little white lies at least once a day and the preferred way of “” is to use technology such as cell phones, texts and e-mails, a survey last Thursday said.
The research by UK Pollsters 72 Point found that “techno-treachery(高科技说谎)” was widespread with nearly 75 percent of people saying gadgets made it easier to fib(撒小谎).

The top lie was pretending to be ill (43 percent) followed by saying work had been completed when it hadn’t (23 percent). Worryingly for bosses 18 percent said they lied to hide a big mistake.
But, employers were not the only ones on the receiving end of dishonest statements. Just over 40 percent of the respondents said they had lied to their families or partners.
Key topics to lie about were: buying new clothes or the cost of them (37 percent), how good someone looked in something (35 percent), how much they had eaten (35 percent) and drunk (31 percent) and how much they weighed (32 percent).
72. The underlined phrase “being economical with the truth” probably means ________.

注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡相应题号的横线上。
Humans are social beings. We enjoy being understood and accepted. Unfortunately, Western culture values individual achievement more than personal relationships. We're better at finding career success than at connecting with other people. As a result, our relationships often suffer. Here are tips for better relationships with everyone.
Everyone wants to share the newest story, the great idea they have and their thoughts and advice. When talking to someone, hear him/her out without judgment or interruption. Focus on what's being said and do your best to understand.
All relationships require trust. Having no trust means worrying about what others are doing, thinking and saying when you're not around. It means monitoring and controlling someone instead of enjoying them.
You probably feel let down at the time when you fail to tell others what you want and then blame them for not reading your mind. So when you want something -- or want to share something -- be honest about it. Expressing your desires might feel uncomfortable, but it gives the other person a fighting chance to give you what you really want.
We're always looking to gain something from other people: positive emotions, knowledge, gifts. This is fine: humans are selfish by nature. The problem is, you can't just take and take in relationships. If you don't give back something of equal or greater value, there's no reason for other people to stay around you. In today's world, it's always about
The best way to build better relationships with everyone is through positive actions.

Dear Headmaster,
I am a student in Class One Grade Two. My name is Li Mei. Now
I am very anxious about the waste in our school. You see, the lights are burning day and night in the classrooms. The taps are left running all the time. Food is thrown away everywhere in the dining room and there are a lot of useful things in the litterbins, taking a few for example. It’s true that we are getting richer and richer now. But saving is still a virtue of our Chinese people. So I am writing to you to put forward my suggestion. Would you please call on all the students in our school to promote saving and oppose waste? I would be very glad if you could take the advice. Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Mei
