Part 3 Reading and Writing （第三部分读写）
VI. Reading Comprehension（阅读理解）（共50分）
A.Choose the best answer（根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案）（12分）
A man sat at an underground station in Washington, D.C., and started to play the violin. It
was a cold day in January. He played six Bach（巴赫）pieces
for about 45 minutes. It was rush hour and thousands of
people went through the station, most of them on their way to
work.
Three minutes went by and the first person, a
middle-aged man, noticed there was a musician playing. He
slowed down and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried
up to meet his schedule.
After a minute, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a young woman threw the money in the box and continued to walk. Then another few minutes went by and someone stood against the wall to listen to him, but the young man looked at his watch and
started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
During the musician’s performance, only six people stopped and stayed for a while, twenty gave him money but continued to walk. When he finished playing, no one applauded（鼓掌）. No one knew the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing in the underground station was organized by The Washington Post（《华盛顿邮报》）as part of a social experiment. One of the conclusions from this experiment could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other things are we missing?
69.The story took place on __________.
A. a cold morning
B. a winter evening
C. a freezing weekend
D. a January afternoon
70.The first dollar tip for the musician was from __________.
A. a middle-aged man
B. a young man
C. a young woman
D. a small girl
71.The performance in the underground station lasted for about __________.
A. an hour
B. 45 minutes
C. 20 minutes
D. 6 minutes
72.When the musician was playing the violin, 26 people __________.
A. gave him cheers
B. introduced themselves to him
C. recognized him
D. gave response to his performance
73.The people going past Joshua Bell __________.
A. showed interest in his violin
B. seemed in their hurry
C. were on their way home
D. acted rudely to him
74.The purpose of this experiment was to __________.
A. observe what people usually did in the underground
B. let us know more about the importance of saving time
C. do a survey on how many people were fond of music
D. make us pay more attention to nice things around
B. Choose the best answer and complete the passage （选择最恰当的选项完成短文）（12分）
My parents were in a huge argument, and I was really upset
about it. I didn’t know who I should talk with about how I was feeling.
So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend’s
house. Though I knew I wouldn’t tell her about my parents’situation,
I was looking forward to ___75___. I was in the middle of packing up
my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood.
Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the
power came back on. I was really ___76___ because I felt that we did
not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone
in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I’d stay with him
until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said,
“___77___.”
“For what?”I asked.
“To hold a private meeting, just you and I,”he said, “To hold a private meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we’re going to do with ourselves ___78___ we’re in the situation we are in.”
“But we can’t do anything about it, Grandpa,”I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat”as I was.
And that’s how the most unbelievable ___79___ in this family started. Sitting there in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could ___80___ talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be.
Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,”he said, “I guess that means you’ll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”

A travel journal（日记）is one of the best ways to keep a long journey in memory. While you
are writing your travel journal, many things
don’t seem s__81__, but they often turn out to
be what make the trip so memorable.
It is important to have the h__82__ of
writing your travel journal every day. When
you are on a busy journey, you probably won’
t remember to write. You may promise that
you will write l__83__, but that almost never
happens. Take a few minutes every day and put
down your memories. It doesn’t have to be
long.
Use your “down time”p__84__. There is a surprising amount of sitting around while traveling. You can always put down a few lines in your travel journal when you are on trains, waiting for planes, or waiting in line.
In your heading, write down the day, where you are, who you are with, maybe even the weather and what you eat. These are the details that people are most likely to f__85__. After many years when you read your journal, you will know exactly what you were doing on that day.
Focus on writing about how you feel. Listing facts and figures is fine, but that isn’t why you traveled. A long journey is a time for self-reflection（自我反思）. Memories of these feelings fade （褪去）quickly with time, so it is important to write about those experiences when the memories
are still f__86__.
Keep ticket stubs（票根）. Whenever you use a ticket for a train or a museum or a ride, stick the stubs to your journal. They are also a good r__87__ of your travel experiences. One day you can look at the ticket stubs and see exactly what you were doing on a certain day and how much it cost.
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
From the time each of my children started school, I packed their lunches. And in each lunch I packed, I included a note. Often written on a piece of small paper, it might be a thank-you for an unusual moment, a reminder of something we were happily expecting, or a bit of encouragement for the coming test or sporting event.
In early grade school they loved their notes. But as
children grow older they become self-conscious（有自
我意识的）, and by the time he reached high school,
my older son, Marc, informed me he no longer enjoyed
my daily notes. Telling him that he no longer needed to
read them but I still needed to write them, I continued
until the day he graduated.
Six years after high school graduation, Marc
called and asked if he could move home for a couple of
months. He had spent those years well, graduation from
college, completing two internship（实习）in
Washington, D.C., and finally, becoming a technical assistant in Sacramento. However, he had lived away from home except for short holiday visits. With his younger sister leaving for college, I was especially happy to have Marc back. Since I was still making lunch for his younger brother, I packed one of Marc, too. Imagine my surprise when I got a call from my 24-year-old son, asking about his lunch.
“Did I do something wrong? Don’t you love me any longer, Mom?”he asked.
“Of course I love you, dear!”I laughingly said. “What’s wrong?”
“My note, Mom,”he answered. “Where’s my note?”
88.The writer wrote the daily notes in her children’s exercise books, didn’t she?
89.What kind of note did the writer give her children before a test?
She gave them a note __________________________________________.
90.What did Marc suggest his mother do when he reached high school?
91.When did Marc visit home during the six years after he left high school?
92.Why did the writer feel especially happy to have Marc back?
93.How do you understand the underlined part “Don’t you love me any longer, Mom?”and why?
