第四节 阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分 )
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
A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements (广告) in the newspapers. “Last week,” said he, “my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As it was a gift, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn’t get it back.”
“How did you write your advertisement,” asked a businessman.
“Here it is,” said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, “Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten pounds on leaving it at No.10 Broad Street” “Now,” said the businessman, “I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is very important. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I’ll buy you a new one.”
The businessman then took a piece of paper out of his pocket and wrote: “If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn’t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known.”
This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was surprised when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colours that had been thrown in, and his own was among the number. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.
66. According to the first advertisement, anyone who ________ would receive ten shillings.
A. found the umbrella
B. gave a message
C. left the umbrella at No.10 Broad Street
D. left the umbrella in the City Church
67. The result of the first advertisement was that __________.
A. the man got his umbrella back
B. the man wasted his money advertising
C. nobody found the missing umbrella
D. the umbrella was found somewhere near the church
68. The businessman suggested that the man should ___________.
A. buy a new umbrella
B. go on looking for his umbrella
C. write another and better advertisement
D. report to the police
69. This is a story about ____________.
A. a useless advertisement
B. how to make an effective advertisement
C. how the man lost and found his umbrella
D. what the businessman did for the umbrella owner

B
Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms - football, basketball, hockey, golf of tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked up with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure(闲暇).
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man - made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man - made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to any people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods, but the sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
70. What movements are popular among people in winter in the passage?
A. Soccer and golf
B. Skiing and skating
C. Cycling and hockey
D. Mountaineering
71. The underlined word “passion” could best be replaced by _________.
A. strong emotion B. tension
C. feeling D. attention
72. Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because ___________.
A. it has man-made rules
B. it is too dangerous for climbers
C it can’t bring people joy and leisure
D. it is free for climbers to use their own methods.
73. We know from the passage that ___________.
A. mountaineering has no appeal to people
B. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbers.
C. a mountain climber would pass his best by the age of thirty.
D. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps.

In the summer of 1978 an English farmer was driving his tractor through a filed of wheat when he discovered that some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground. The fattened (压平的) wheat formed a circle about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. The five circles were in a formation like five dots. During the following years, farmers in England found the strange circles in their fields more and more often.
The circles are called “crop circles” because they appear in the fields of grain - usually wheat or corn. The grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but never broken; it continues to grow, and farmers can later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at night. They appear only in the months from May to September.
At first, people thought that the circles were a hoax. Probably young people were making them as a joke, or farmers were making them to attract tourists. To prove that the circles were a hoax, people tried to make circles exactly like the ones that farmer had found. They couldn’t do it. They couldn’t enter a field of grain without leaving tracks(痕迹), and they couldn’t flatten the grain without breaking it.
Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circle to communicate with us from far away and that the crop circles are messages from them.
Scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities. Some scientists say that a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circles - the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash. Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear. There is one problem with all these scientific explanations: crop circles often appear in formations, like the five-dot formation. It is hard to believe that any natural force could form those.
74. In the summer of 1978, an English farmer discovered in his field that _____
A. some of his wheat had been damaged
B. his grain was growing up in circles.
C. his grain was moved into several circles
D. some of his wheat had fallen onto the ground.
75. According to the text, the underlined part “hoax” probably means __________.
A. an attempt made to fool people B. a special way to plant crops
C. a research on the force of winds D. an experiment for the protection of crops.
76. Which of the following may prove that the crop circles are not made by man?
A. The farmer couldn’t step out of the field.
B. The farmers couldn’t make the circles round.
C. Th
