第三部分 阅读理解 （共15 小题，每小题2 分，满分30分）
A
Miss Maynell and I grew to know each other through the mail. When World War II ended, I returned from Europe. We planned our first meeting at the Grand Central Station in New York.
At seven, I was in the station and waited for the girl whose heart I loved but whose face I’d never seen.
Suddenly a girl in a green suit was coming toward me. I stood up from the bench and started toward her, completely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose.
“Going my way, sailor?” the girl murmured, walking away quickly. I made one step closer to her and then I saw Miss Maynell, who was well past 40, standing almost directly behind her with a red rose. I felt something even better than love. I didn’t hesitate and walked to her. “I’m John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell,” I said, feeling shocked by the bitterness of disappointment. “I’m glad you could meet me. May I take you to dinner?”
The woman smiled. “I don’t know what this is about, son,” she answered. “But the young lady in the green suit begged me to wear this rose. And she said if you were to invite me to dinner, I should tell you that she is waiting for you in a big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!”
56.   How could John Blanchard recognize the girl?
A. By her green suit B. By her red rose
C. By her beautiful face D. By her pictures
57. Why did John feel disappointed? Because _______.
A. he realized that it was not love
B. he found the girl was going away
C. he failed to find the girl with a rose
D. he knew that the girl would test him.
58. The girl asked the woman to take her place to meet the man. What did she intend to do?
A. She intended to see what the man was doing.
B. She intended to see what the man would do.
C. She intended to let him know she was a shy girl.
D. She intended to let him take the woman to dinner.
59. What may probably happen afterwards?
A. John Blanchard thanked Miss Maynell and went to the restaurant.
B. John Blanch felt cheated and left the station angrily.
C. John Blanch went happily to the restaurant to meet Miss Maynell.
D. John Blanch eagerly invited the two women to dinner altogether.
B
An earthquake happens when two plates rub (碰撞) together. The earth plates travel in different directions and at different speeds. If one plate is slowly forced underneath the other, pressure（压力） builds up until the plates break apart. This process causes the ground to move. It is an earthquake. In other words, earth-quakes are the shaking of the earth’s surface caused by the earth’s rocky outer layer（外层）as a result of the energy stored within the earth. The strain （压力）within the rocks is suddenly released (释放).
　　 The damage an earthquake causes depends on where it is and the time it is happening. If an unpopulated place is struck, there will be low loss of life or property(财产). If it hits a large city, there may be many injuries and much destruction. Many of the areas at risk are largely populated now. Great earthquakes hitting those areas today could produce terrible damage.
　　 Actually, there are several million small earth-quakes every year. Large earthquakes such as the 1964 Alaskan quake that measured 9.2 on the Richter scale, cause millions of dollars in damage. In the last 500 years, millions of people have been killed by earth-quakes around the world — including 240,000 in the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China.
　　 A 60-second or less earthquake can cause devastation that continues for years after the first tremor (小震). In 1972, a series of severe earthquakes struck Managua, Nicaragua. Fifteen years later, the city still looked the way it had a week after the earthquake hit, because the country did not have the necessary money to rebuild it.
　　 The shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster. It is in the ensuing fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs（发生） . In the 1906 earthquake, it was the fires caused after it that did the most of the damage. An earthquake can also destroy dams high above a city or valleys, causing floods to sweep down and sweep away everything in their path.
60. How many examples are used in the passage to show the damage and destruction earthquakes cause?
　 A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
61. Which of the following is mentioned to show that an earthquake can kill too many people?
　 A. The 1964 Alaskan quake. B. The 1976 Tangshan earthquake.
　 C. The 1972 Managua earthquake. D. The 1906 earthquake.
62. The underlined word “ensuing” in the last paragraph probably means _____.
　 A. causing too much heat and great damage
B. causing many injuries and much destruction
　 C. happening as a result of another event
　 D. happening suddenly and unexpectedly

C
Hiking is not only one of the best forms of physical exercise, but it is also one of the best forms of mental relaxation. It is good for all ages and especially good as a family and group activity.
Since there are so many different kinds of hiking, it is not possible to give any general rules to follow. Short and frequent hikes, needing no planning or special equipment, are enjoyed by most people.
●Keep in shape by walking at a fast pace for at least 15 minutes every day. Climbing stairs instead of using a lift and running not too far are also good ways of keeping in shape.
●On any hike nothing is more important than good, comfortable shoes.
●The things you take might include matches in a waterproof box, a knife, compass, map first aid items and flashlight.
●Cameras may be taken, but don’t load with too much.
●On longer hikes keep a comfortable, steady pace and take rest stops often.
●Drink only safe water. If in doubt, boil the water.
●Don’t go along the busy roads. When you have to use a road, keep as far over on the left as possible.
●Leave word at home or some other place as to where you are going and when you plan to return.
●On almost any hike, a map is a good idea. If going into a strange place, a detailed map is most useful.
●Take along a field guide on flowers, birds, rocks, or other subjects depending upon your interests. This can add greatly to the enjoyment and educational value of your hike.
