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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A
Nature has supplied every animal except man with some covering for his body such as fur, feathers, hair and shells as a thick hide. But man has nothing but a thin skin.
If someone were to ask you, “Why did human beings start to cover their bodies with clothes?” most would answer, “To keep themselves warm, of course.”
It is only when we begin to think about it a little that we realize that clothes are worn for a great many reasons that have nothing to do with our need for warmth at all.
For example, we wear clothes to some degree in order to decorate ourselves — to make ourselves, if possible, look more dignified(尊严的) or nicer.
Clothes of a special kind are often worn to show that the wearer has authority or power. The individual wearing them is treated with respect because he occupies a certain office. The judge on the Bench, for example, might look a very ordinary and unimpressive figure without his wig and gown. Clothes are an important part of ceremony, whether it is connected with belief, the law, parliament and royalty, the fighting forces or the state. How very different the Queen’s Coronation ceremony(加冕仪式) would have looked without the robes, coronets and the cloth of gold.
Sometimes, even in some modern countries people wear some article of clothing, or some jewel, because they believe that it will bring them luck or protect them from evil or illness, or because it is connected with their beliefs.
None of these reasons for wearing clothes — to decorate ourselves, to show our position in the world for ceremonial purposes for “luck”, to give ourselves dignity and authority — have anything to do with our need for warmth.
56. From the passage we know that wearing clothes is man’s basic necessity to _____.
A. protect skin B. show beauty
C. keep warm D. bring luck
57. The judge wearing special clothes on the Bench ______.
A. looks nicer B. looks different
C. shows wealth D. shows power
58. Even in the modern countries, sometimes people wear certain clothes because __.
A. they believe that they will get protected from bad luck and illness
B. it has something to do with their wealth
C. they want to show their power
D. they enjoy wearing such kind of clothes
59. The author’s purpose in writing this article is to tell us that clothes are worn ____.
A. for ceremonial occasions
B. for many other reasons besides warmth
C. to keep people impressive and nicer
D. to show people’s authority or power
B
Every Chinese-language textbook starts with the standard phrases for greeting people, but as an American, I always found myself unable to speak freely when it came to seeing guests off at the door. Just a goodbye would not do, yet that was all I had ever learned from the terrible books. So I would smile and nod, bowing like a Japanese and searching madly for words that would smooth over the visitor’s leaving and make them feel they would be welcome to come again. In my unease, I often hid behind the skirts of my Chinese husband’s kindness.
Then finally, listening to others, I began to pick up the phrases that eased relationships and sent people off not only successfully but also skillfully.
Partings for the Chinese include a lot of necessary habitual practice. Although I’m not expected to observe or even know all the rules, as a foreigner, I’ve had to learn the expressions of politeness and protest (表示拒绝的话) at a leaving-taking.
The Chinese feel they must see a guest off to the farthest possible point — down the flight of stairs to the street below or perhaps all the way to the nearest bus stop. I’ve sometimes waited half an hour or more for my husband to return from seeing a guest off, since he’s gone to the bus stop and waited for the next bus to arrive.
That’s very well, but when I’m the guest being seen off, my protests are always useless. My hostess or host, or both, insists on seeing me down the stairs and well on my way, with my repeating the “Don’t bother (give the trouble) to see me off” at every landing. If I try to go fast to discourage them from following, they are simply out to the discomfort of having to run after me. Better to accept the inevitable (不可避免的).
Besides, that’s going against Chinese custom, because haste (doing things quickly) is to be avoided. What do you say when you part from someone? “Go slowly.” Not “farewell” or “Godspeed ”(祝福), but “Go slowly.” To the Chinese it means “Take care,” or “Watch your step”, or some such caution, but translated literally (字面意思) it means “Go slowly.”
60. It is stated clearly that the writer ________.
A. is interested in the Chinese-language textbooks
B. is proud of being able to greet people at the door
C. is unsatisfied with the Chinese-language textbooks
D. is afraid of the standard phrases from the textbooks
61. It can be inferred that the writer ________.
A. speaks Chinese
B. lives in the USA
C. dislikes her husband’s ways of seeing guests off
D. refuses to follow the Chinese custom of seeing guests off
62. According to the passage all of the following are necessary in the Chinese partings except ________.
A. seeing the guests off to the farthest possible point
B. protesting again and again
C. running after the guests
D. saying “Go slowly”
63. The Chinese use “Go slowly.” in their partings so as to ________.
A. slow down the guests
B. ask the guests to take care
C. wish the guests a happy journey
D. warn the guests of danger on their way home
C
I remember that when I was in my teens, I used to rebel at many of the Do’s and Don’ts my parents taught me. For example, when I kept playing jazz records on the record player, my father would condemn(谴责) such music as making noise and replace them with disks of classical music that I always considered extremely dull.
My mom and dad were also very particular about the friends I went out with, always quoting the saying “One rotten apple could ruin a whole barrel of apples.” When I insisted on sleeping with my pet dog Peppy, they immediately said NO because they thought that I would be bitten by fleas(虱子).
These are just a few examples of many of the things
