第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
A
When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.
Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.
Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.

Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.

A. How Columbus found Costa Rica. B. How Costa Rica got its name.
C. What the Costa Ricans wore. D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke.

Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think of this story.
It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on important things in life and about devoting ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went:
An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the sub-way. He would get onto the train right to Central Lon-don, and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
His house was dirty, and a stench (恶臭) came out of the house and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years.
The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire (百万富翁). They waited outside his house expecting to share the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire.
But the old man said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg.
Clearly, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant (有意义的) for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.
60. The underlined part in the first paragraph may mean ______.
A. I get tired of learning my subjects B. I fail to listen to lessons attentively
C. I go in the wrong direction of life D. I wouldn’t like to go to school
61. The neighbor called the police because ______.
A. the old man kept begging money from them every day
B. there was something dangerous in the old man’s house
C. the old man wouldn’t buy tickets for the train

D. they couldn’t bear the smell from the old man’s house
62. When the old man knew he was a millionaire, he ______.
A. remained calm B. became excited C. felt worried D. became nervous
63. What lesson do we learn from the story?
A. Make great plans for your life. B. Keep on doing what you like.
C. Do something that is good to society. D. Depend on yourself rather than others.
C
China is known as a state of manners and ceremony. Many proverbs have been passed down from generation to generation such as “Polite behavior costs nothing” or “Showing respect demands reciprocity (相互) and so on. For instance, there is an interesting short story. Once upon a time, a man went on a long tour to visit his friend with a swan as a gift. But it escaped from the cage on the way. Though he tried hard, he got hold of nothing but a feather. Instead of returning home, he continued his journey with the swan feather. When his friend received this unexpected gift, he was deeply moved. And the saying “The gift is nothing much, but it’s the thought that counts.” was spread far and wide.
Chinese used to cup one hand in the other before the chest as a greeting. This tradition has a history of more than 2, 000 years and nowadays it is seldom used except in the Spring Festival. And shaking hands is more popular on some formal occasions. Bowing, as to show respect to the higher level, is often used by the lower like subordinates (下级), students, and attendants. But at present Chinese youngsters prefer to simply nod as a greeting. To some degree this development shows the ever-increasing paces of modern life.
It is common social practice to introduce the junior to the senior, or the familiar to the unfamiliar. When you start a talk with a stranger, the topics such as weather, food, or hobbies may be good choices to break the ice. For a man, a chat about current affairs, sports, stock market or his job can usually go on smoothly. Similar to Western customs, you should be careful to ask a woman private questions. However, relaxing talks about her job or family life will never put you into danger. She is usually glad to offer you some advice on how to cook Chinese food or get used to local life. Things will be quite different when you’ve gotten to know them. Though Chinese are said to be implicit (含蓄的), they are actually humorous enough to be pleased about the jokes of Americans.
64. The author tells the story in the first paragraph in order to ______.
A. make fun of the stupid person
B. explain the meaning of a Chinese saying
C. show Chinese like valuable gifts very much
D. show Chinese value polite behavior greatly
65. In Paragraph 2, the author mainly wants to introduce ______.
A. the Chinese body language B. the way the lower show respect to the higher
C. the traditional Chinese manners D. the development of Chinese manners
66. Which of the following picture shows the gesture mentioned at the beginning of Paragraph 2?
A. B
