第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
第一节 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
I work at a Care Center where most of the people are elderly. About a year and a half ago a 59-year-old lady came to us who had cancer. She had to have her right leg amputated(切除)and she didn’t have a family to take care of her after the operation.
This lady was a quiet lady who mostly stayed alone. But in the afternoons, when she was feeling well, she would go to visit the other people in the Care Center. She would visit a lady who was blind and read to her. She would go into the room of a young girl with severe cerebral palsy(脑瘫)and sing to her. In her quiet and gentle way, she would go about the Care Center doing goods.
She passed away last Wednesday and after her passing, stories are coming forward of her quiet acts of kindness in her own hour of sorrow.
We never know what impact we have upon others. She had every reason to be bitter, to be angry, or to be swallowed up in her own grief. But she wasn’t. She didn’t have a family and probably felt forgotten, but her small and quiet acts of service made an impact upon the entire Care Center.
Each of us feels better than before for having known her. We have pledged(发誓)to be more aware of the service that we can offer to others.
56. Why did the old lady live in the Care Center?
A. Because she wanted to prove her importance.
B. Because she felt very lonely at home.
C. Because she was suffering a very serious illness.
D. Because she was invited by many patients there.
57. What did the old lady do in the Care Center?
A. She tried her best to comfort the other patients.
B. She practiced her singing here and there.
C. She was there waiting to be cured of her cancer.
D. She would do nothing but keep silent.
58. The underlined word “impact” in the fourth paragraph may most probably mean “______”.
A. result B. condition C. effect D. situation
59. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Old though she was, she proved better loved.
B. Lost in grief, passing away in love.
C. Better known for one’s kindness.
D. Deep in trouble, but great in help.

B
During my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany’s mom.
Tiffany’s mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn’t give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was annoyed with her.
Whenever I didn’t get what I wanted, I would complain(抱怨) to my mom, Tiffany’s mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my mom would calmly say “poor Tiffany”. I couldn’t understand her. “She shouldn’t be feeling sorry for Tiffany!” I thought. “She should be feeling sorry for me.”
One day, I couldn’t help saying to mom, “Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?” I burst into tears.
My mom sat down next to me and said softly. “Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught.”
I looked up at her. “What are you talking about?”
Mom said with care, “One day she will really want something. Maybe she’ll find out that she can’t have it. Her mother won’t always be around to give her money, and what’s more, money can’t buy everything.”
She continued, “I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You’ll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won’t. You’ll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won’t. I thought that Tiffany was spoiled by her mother. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she’ll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you’ve got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food.”
It took some time, but finally I understood my mom’s words. Now I am a happy and successful woman.

A. She thought that Tiffany was spoiled by her mother.
B. She wanted to tell a lie to comfort the writer.
C. She felt sorry for Tiffany because Tiffany was poor.
D. She told the writer this and wanted her to help Tiffany.

B. She cared for other people’s children more than her own.
C. She thought that life lessons were as important as money.
