Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension（30 marks）
Directions：Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A
Societies all over the world name places in similar ways.Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people.Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name.Frequently it happens that a place has two names：One is named by the people and the other by the government.As in many areas，old habits diehard，and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.
Many roads and places in Singapore are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations.Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place.This is in keeping with traditions in many countries—in both the West and the East.
Another way of naming places is naming them after other places.Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after.The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases.If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.
Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places.Bras Basah Road is an interesting example.“Bras Basah” means “ wet rice” in Malay（马来语）．Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”？The reason is simple.During the pioneering days，wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.
A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes.There is “Circular Road” for one.Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes，like “Paya Lebar Crescent”．This road is called a crescent（月牙）because it begins on the main road，makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.
56．We learn from Paragraph 1 that______.
A．the government is usually the first to name a place
B．many places tend to have more than one name
C．a ceremony will be held when a place is named
D．people prefer the place names given by the government
57．What does the underlined phrase “ die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Change suddenly.
B．Change significantly.
C．Disappear mysteriously.
D．Disappear very slowly.
58．Which of the following places is named after a person?
A．Raffles Place.
B．Selector Airbase.
C．Piccadilly Circus.
D．Paya Lebar Crescent.
59．Bras Basah Road is named______.
A．after a person
B．after a place
C．after an activity
D．by its shape
60．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.
B．Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes.
C．The way Singaporeans name their places is unique.
D．Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.

Saturday，October 7th，was a marathon of sad tasks for Anna Politkovskaya.Two weeks earlier，her father，a retired official in the department of foreign affairs，had died of a heart attack as he emerged from the Moscow Metro while on his way to visit Politkovskaya's mother，Raisa Mazepa，in the hospital.She had just been diagnosed（诊断）with cancer and was too weak even to attend her husband's funeral.“Your father will forgive me，because he knows that I have always loved him，” she told Anna and her sister，Elena Kudimova，the day he was buried.A week later，she had an operation and since then Anna and Elena had been taking turns helping her deal with her grief.
Politkovskaya was supposed to spend the day at the hospital，but her twentysixyearold daughter，who was pregnant，had just moved into Politkovskaya's apartment，on Lesnaya Street，while her own place was being prepared for the baby.“Anna had so much on her mind，” Elena Kudimova told me when we met in London，before Christmas.“And she was trying to finish her article.” Politkovskaya was a special reporter for the small newspaper Novaya Gazeta，and，like most of her work，the piece focused on the terror that can be seen all over the southern republic of Chechnya.This time，she had been trying to report repeated cruel acts done by people faithful to the Prime Minister，Ramzan Kadyrov，who are in favour of Russia.In the past seven years，Politkovskaya had written dozens of accounts of life during wartime；many had been collected in her book A Small Corner of Hell：reports from Chechnya.Politkovskaya was far more likely to spend time in a hospital than on a battlefield，and her writing bore frequent witness to robbery，and the uncontrolled cruelty of life in a place that few other Russians—and almost no other reporters—cared to think about.
61．Politkovskaya's father died of ______.
A．tiredness B．a heart disease
C．an attack D．an accident
62．From the text we know that Raisa Mazepa ______.
A．didn't love her husband
B．didn't attend her husband's funeral
C．was having an operation the day her husband was buried
D．was too sad to attend her husband's funeral
63．The underlined word “emerged” most likely means ______.
A．came out B．went into C．disappeared D．left for
64．How many members of Anna's family are mentioned in the passage?
A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.
65．Which of the following words can best describe Politkovskaya's character?
A．Curious. B．Easygoing. C．Careless. D．Responsible.
C
Abby Subark is a mother of two from Boston.“For my kids，I'm nervous.I don't know if they'll be able to achieve their American dream.” She may be right.More than hard work or education，the best way to get rich in America is to be born rich.
It is the case that somebody who is in the upper third of income，poor scores，in the bottom on tests when they are in eighth grade，is more likely to go to college and finish college than a poor kid with the top scores.That's what the working person's children are up against.
The Economic Policy Institute finds it would take a poor couple with 2 children 9 or 10 generations to achieve middle class status.That's about 200 years.The hallmark（特征）of American opportunity has always been the ability to do better than your parents.But compared with similar developed countries，the United States ranks fifth out of six for socalled intergenerational mobility（变动）.
If you look at the mechanisms（机制）for upward mobility that were so readily available 50 years ago，they are becoming out of reach，like plentiful factory jobs with good wages and affordable education and health care.
White families are twice as likely as blacks to be upwardly mobile.For most people in America today，where_you_end_up_depends_on_where_you_start.
If you started in the middleincome class，about 40 to 45
