第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） A
Have you ever seen a horse with toes (脚趾)? Millions of years ago, horses had many toes. They had four toes on each front foot. They had three toes on each back foot. The horses were smaller than cats.
These small horses lived in the forest. Their many toes helped the horses run over the soft wet ground.
It was very hot in the forest. But the weather changed. It became cold. Many trees couldn’t live in cold weather. The trees died and fell. Open field took the place of (代替) forest. The sun made the ground dry and hard . Horses began to change too. They began to get bigger. This took a long time. On the dry hard land, horses needed only their middle toes for running. Their middle toes became hard. After a long time horses had only one hard toe on each foot. We call this hard toe a hoof (马蹄). 36. Long ago, the horse had four toes on each of its __________.

People have smoked cigarettes for a long time now. The tobacco used to make cigarettes was grown in what is now part of the United States. Christopher Columbus, who discovered America, saw the Indians smoking, and soon the dried leaves were transported to Europe where smoking began to catch on. In the late 1800s, the Turks (土耳其人) made cigarettes popular.
Cigarettes smoke contains at least two harmful substances , tar and nicotine. Tar, which forms as the tobacco bums, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine, which is found in the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases breathing rate .
Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. The U.S. Public Health Service stated that cigarette smoking is the cause of lung cancers and several other deadly diseases. The
3
U.S. government now requires that each package of cigarettes bear a special warning about the danger of smoking.
41. The expression “catch on” in the passage may mean ______. A. start B. cost a lot C. become popular D. dangerous 42. Before Columbus discovered America ______. A. Europeans had smoked
B. Nobody smoked in the world C. Nicotine was not in tobacco D. Europeans had never smoked

Do you know what couch-potato means? Well, in America, the word is now often used. The American couch-potato becomes maybe even a part of the American tradition! You see, in America, many people often spend their free time sitting on a couch watching TV. As there are many channels to choose, the TV can be quite interesting and very addictive. One may sit and watch TV for hours and hours without stop! Well, these people who do nothing all day except watching TV are called couch-potatoes.
In America, when one watches TV, one is most often sitting on a couch. While watching TV, most of these people look so frozen that they almost look like dead things! Everyone is sitting still with eyes looking right into the same black box. Also because these people are addictive to TV, they don’t take exercise and usually get very fat. So in many ways, these people look like real potatoes! Well, because they look so still and fat, and watch TV on a couch, they are all called couch-potatoes. Now that you know what a couch-potato means, the next time if you see someone watching TV too long, just say, “What a couch-potato!” 46. The word “couch-potato” means someone who________. A. loves sitting on a couch all the time
B. spends a lot of time sitting and watching TV C. likes eating potatoes on a couch

During the meal, you should be careful not to leave a spoon in a soup bowl, a coffee cup or other dish. The coffee spoon should be on the saucer, and the soup spoon should be on the plate under the bowl. When you are having soup, make as little noise as you can and use the side of your spoon, not the front. Do not pick up your soup bowl to drink the last drops of your soup from the bottom of the bowl.
Very often, there are only one main course and a salad, followed by something sweet. If you haven’t had enough, say “Oh, it’s delicious.” And ask for some more chicken, steak, or whatever you have just had. The hostess will be very happy that you like her cooking and will give you more. But if you follow the Chinese way of being polite and say, “No, thank you.” when the hostess offers you more, you may starve later. Americans will never force you to eat more. Yet it is not polite to keep silent and not to talk to the person next to you. It is good manners to use your silverware carefully so that they don’t make any noise. When the coffee comes, drink it from your cup. The coffee spoon should be put on the saucer while you are drinking. And smoking, of course, is rarely seen at a dinner table. Well, when the meal is finished, the guests put their napkins on the table and stand up. The men help the ladies move their chairs.
After the dinner, the guests usually stay for an hour or two, and then they would say, “well, I’m afraid I must get going now.” The host and hostess would, of course, ask everyone to stay longer. “What? Already? Won’t you have some more coffee?” The guests might say, “I’d love to, but I have to be up early tomorrow. Thank you for a most enjoyable evening. Good night.”
If you stay overnight or for the weekend, it is nice to send a thank-you note to the host or hostess the following day, very often with a small gift such as a box of chocolate later or some flowers as a sign of thanks for their hospitality(好客).
50. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. To make the hostess happy, you should ask for more food even if
you are full.
B. During the dinner, you’d better make as little noise as possible.
5
C. It’s polite to leave a spoon in a soup bowl. D. Never talk with people at table.
51. What does the underlined word “course” mean? A. A series of lessons. B. Any of the separate parts of a meal. C. A moment in time. D. Direction or the routine 52. The passage implies that________.
A. Chinese customs are similar to American ones.
B. if you are polite, the hostess will make you eat more food. C. different nations have different customs.
D. Chinese are more hospitable than Americans. E
Fear and pain are two of the most useful things that people and animals have---if they are used properly. If fire did not hurt them when it burned, children would play in it until their hands burned. In the same way, if pain existed but fear did not, children would burn themselves again and again. Fear would not warn them to keep away from the fire that hurt them before. A really fearless soldier ---and some do exist---is not a good soldier because he is soon killed. A dead soldier is no good for an army. Fear and pain are two guards. Without them, people and animals might soon die out. However, fear should be used properly. If, for example, you never go out of your house because the danger of being hit by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not completely safe. An airplane may crash on your house. Ants may eat parts of your roof so that it falls on you. You may get cancer from the dust!The important thing is not to let fear rule you. Use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers. Then you have to decide what to do. In many cases, you can easily avoid the danger. For example, if you see a car coming towards you, fear warns you and you jump out of the way. You are safe again. In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you can’t stop an airplane from crashing into your house. You may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no airplanes either. In this case, fear has given you a warning. You have looked at it and decided what to do, so fear of this danger is no longer useful and you have to try to overcome it.
53. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. A really fearless soldier is difficult to kill.
B. Fear and pain can sometimes protect people from dying. C. If you are careful, you can avoid any danger. D. It’s safer to stay home than go outside.
54. It is implied but not stated that _____________. A. fear is always something helpful
B. fear is the most useful thing that men and animals possess C. too much fear is harmful
D. fear ought to be used properly
55. People sometimes avoid danger because ________. A. they are warned by the fear and take quick action B. they knew it easier than common people C. they are calm in face of danger D. they have plenty of experience
