五、阅读理解（共15小题；每题2分，满分30分）
A
Since our childhood， we are taught the importance of honesty and why we should be honest. We do try our best to anyone around us. However， when we come across how dishonesty helped some people achieve some great things quickly and in a better way than us， we may tend to go the wrong way for quick success. This sometimes cannot be solved at all.
Importance of Honesty
To understand why honesty is the best policy， you need to understand the importance of honesty.
Honesty is necessary in everything we do to create a good impression. Whether you are a student， a teacher or a doctor， honesty takes a person a long way in the journey of life. Even if you find it difficult to perform well at your place of work or in studies， honest and sincere people are given many chances to prove themselves in their fields. In case of dishonest people， second chance is very rare to come because the society feels that he will keep on repeating his mistakes. Thus， this is a lesson to those people who think that honesty is not the best policy.
Is Honesty Always the Best Policy？
The answer to this is again yes， but there is also the other sign of the coin which we should consider. Sometimes， there are situations where you have to be dishonest to save yourself or someone else when we know that the person is innocent. In such cases， speaking lies may not come under “Dishonesty” as we are not doing anything wrong. Thus， it depends entirely on the situation， and the smart people realize and know how to deal with a difficult situation by not going against their principles. However， a dishonest way to protect yourself should not be made a habit and you should recall the values taught to you， if you feel like going with the wrong way by proper selfcontrol.
36. From Paragraph 1， we may get the impression that .
A. friends are not reliable if they do not lend us money when we are in trouble
B. we were frequently input （灌输） the belief that honesty is the best policy since our childhood C. it is easy for us to get affected by a bad social atmosphere
D. people are easily jealous of others quick success
37. According to the passage， as far as the author is concerned， we may safely draw a conclusion that .
A. honesty is the best policy
B. dishonesty is the best policy
C. honesty is not always the best policy
D. dishonesty is not always the best policy
38. According to the author， which of the following sentence does not serve as a support of the point that why honest is important？
A. Honesty is essential if we want to leave a good impression on colleagues， leaders.
B. If you are not honest once， a second opportunity will not come for you in career life.
C. Students need to be honest to their professors so as to finish their studies at college.
D. There is a long way to go for a student， a teacher or a doctor to be honest in our daily life.
39. What message the author is trying to convey to us in the last paragraph is that .
A. most of the time we may tell lies to protect ourselves or someone else
B. it seldom depends upon the situation whether we shall tell a lie or not
C. we shall tell a white lie at times in our daily life， but not form a habit of it
D. “dishonesty” means we are doing something wrong
B
Weve considered several ways of paying to cut in line： hiring line standers， buying tickets from scaplers （票贩子）， or purchasing linecutting privileges directly from， say， an airline or an amusement park. Each of these deals replaces the morals of the queue （waiting your turn） with the morals of the market （paying a price for a faster service）.
Markets and queues—paying and waiting—are two different ways of allocating things， and each is appropriate to different activities. The morals of the queue， “First come， first served， ”have an egalitarian （平等主义的） appeal. They tell us to ignore privilege， power， and deep pockets.
The principle seems right on playgrounds and at bus stops. But the morals of the queue do not govern all occasions. If I put my house up for sale， I have no duty to accept the first offer that comes along， simply because its the first. Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different activities， properly governed by different standards.
Sometimes standards change， and it is unclear which principle should apply. Think of the recorded message you hear， played over and over， as you wait on hold when calling your bank： “Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.” This is essential for the morals of the queue. Its as if the company is trying to ease our impatience with fairness. When we talked with Mr. Brown， he told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPSequipped car to use during his stay. They just entered an address and then set off to their destination. And， then it wasnt until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in.
Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But， he says， what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings， or failures， of GPS equipment. “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is that they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn， sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that its going to the wrong place.”
Mr. Brown says， “The most important thing is that you have to know what youre doing when you use a GPS. There are these new skills that people have developed. You need to have abilities to use GPS.”
GPS can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated， incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.
Barry Brown says to make GPS better we need a better understanding of how drivers， passengers and GPS work together.
44. From the passage above， we may infer that .
A. Barry Brown once went to the wrong place and got lost， under the direction of his GPS
B. even with the help of GPS， we may not always so lucky to find where we want to go
C. GPS is available to any class of people， be elites or ordinary people
D. GPS is outdated for our current social life and should be kicked out totally
45. Barrys friend failed to reach his destination in the eastern USA， because .
A. there is something wrong with his GPS
B. the equipped GPS has become oldfashioned
C. he entered the GPS an incorrect destination before they started out
D. he input the wrong destination address into the newly purchased GPS
46. Which of the following reason has nothing to do with explaining why GPS can cause confusion for drivers？
A. Carelessness.
B. Not updated in time.
C. Difficult to understand.
D. Machine aging.
47. According to Barry Brown， which body of the following isnt involved in bettering GPS？ A. Drivers.B. Passengers.
C. GPS.D. Mobile Life Centre.
D
Charles Dickens was one of the most beloved storytellers in the English language. His novels made him famous in his own time， and continue as classics in ours.
Dickens began his literary career with almost no formal education. He was born in Land port， on Feb. 7， 1812， the second of eight children. When he was 12， his father was sent to debtors prison. Dickens was forced to quit school and work in a London blacking factory. He would rework that terrible experience into his fiction for the rest of his life.
“He was a social reformer，” says actor Simon Callow， author of a new biography called Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World. “He knew what poverty was. He knew what it was to be rejected， to be cast aside， to live in squalor （悲惨）.
And so Dickens wrote with great sympathy for the suffering of innocent and vulnerable （易受攻击的） children—characters like David Copperfield， Little Dorrit and the orphan， Oliver Twist：
With his slice of bread in his hand， and his little brown parish cap on his head， Oliver was now led away from the wretched home， where one kind work or look never lighted the gloom of his infant （幼儿） days.
Yet he burst into an agony of childish grief as the cottage gate closed behind him. Wretched as were the little companions in misery he was now leaving behind him， they were the only friends he had ever had.
His first book Sketches by Boz came out in 1836. With the appearance of Oliver Twist in London periodicals in 1837， the 25yearold Dickens became the most popular writer in England. But his first love was theater， and he considered becoming an actor.
“When he was actually writing， he became his characters，” says Peter Ackroyd， author of Dickens： Public Life and Private Passion.“He would get up from his desk， go over to the mirror and mouth the words—do the expressions， grimaces （鬼脸）， whatever， and then laugh， chuckle to himself， then go back to his desk and write it down.”
Dickens created 989 named characters， which increased his popularity. Every one of his major works has been adapted for either stage or screen. A Christmas Carol inspired more than a dozen films， from Alistair Sims Scrooge in 1951 to Jim Carreys voicing of the same character in Disneys 2009， 3D animated film.
The original 1843 manuscript （手稿） of A Christmas Carol is on display at the Morgan Library. Dickens wrote everything by hand， in tiny script， with a quill pen. Remarkably the manuscript is both the first and the final draft， says Kiely， the curator. You can see where Dickens has changed the name of the first chapter from “Old Marleys Ghost” to “Marleys Ghost”. Further down the page， he has cancelled an entire section. “He realizes hes not writing a novel， and he only has a very short time in which to write this，” Kiely explains. “Hes got to keep it tight， in order for it to be published in time for Christmas.”
Dickens wrote all the time. He traveled with a portable ink well and a supply of quill pens. He was working on his last novel， Our Matual Friend， en route from France to London when the train he was on crashed.
Dickens died after five years later in 1870， after a stroke at age 58. As a comic talent and a social reformer， Dickenss achievements was extraordinary， says novelist T.C. Boyle， who earned a doctorate in Victorian literature.
“He achieved what any great artist achieves—a body of work that has entertained and delighted and instructed people down through the ages. Thats what we all hope for，” says Boyle.
But Dickenss greatest fiction was his own character， says Callow， the biographer： “People think of him as a cheerful man... but he was increasingly suffering from depression and a sense of hopelessness. And thats worth knowing. I think its always good to know that great creative individuals have their struggle， their drama.”
48. Which of the following is NOT true， according to the passage？
A. In his readers and friends eyes， Dickens was a cheerless man but actually he was not.
B. Dickens put what he suffered when he was a child into his literary works.
C. Dickens never went to school in his childhood.
D. Dickens got through poverty when he was a kid.
49. From the passage above， we may safely get the impression of Dickens Oliver Twist that .
A. Dickens was reluctant accomplish it in the beginning， because he was eager to become an actor at that time
B. this work made Dickens become widely famous around the world
C. this work made Dickens a big fame in England at that time
D. this work made Dickens the top one actor in England at that time
50. In general peoples eyes， which one of the following words best describe Dickenss public image？
A. Funny.B. Poor.
C. Serious.D. Joyful.

Soon the expected Golden Week is coming， most students feel cheerful about that. However， a heated discussion about whether the public break time shall be shortened to 3 days or not arouses students great interest. Students hold different opinions toward this topic.
40% students support that proposal. They think they usually feel it boring to kill the 7 days with nothing special to do and they have to concentrate upon their studies after a long holiday； whats more， it will help to ease the traffic pressure caused by the holiday goingout rush hour.
However， 60% students stand on the disagreement side. In their opinion， it is beneficial for the whole family to go for a relaxing trip. Besides， they may attend the summer camps and know more friends. And they can go abroad to experience a 7day exchange student life to learn the exotic culture.
I hold the view that the holiday shouldnt be shortened. Because we have already got used to the length of the public holiday. It is a precious time for us family members to get together and share a happy time. I hope the 7 day holiday will remain for us as before.

Sometimes， there are situations where you have to be dishonest to save yourself or someone else when we know that the person is innocent. In such cases， speaking lies may not come under “Dishonesty” as we are not doing anything wrong. Thus， it depends entirely on the situation， and the smart people realize and know how to deal with a difficult situation by not going against their principles. However， a dishonest way to protect yourself should not be made a habit and you should recall the values taught to you， if you feel like going with the wrong way by proper selfcontrol.

Weve considered several ways of paying to cut in line： hiring line standers， buying tickets from scaplers （票贩子）， or purchasing linecutting privileges directly from， say， an airline or an amusement park. Each of these deals replaces the morals of the queue （waiting your turn） with the morals of the market （paying a price for a faster service）.
Markets and queues—paying and waiting—are two different ways of allocating things， and each is appropriate to different activities. The morals of the queue， “First come， first served， ”have an egalitarian （平等主义的） appeal. They tell us to ignore privilege， power， and deep pockets.
The principle seems right on playgrounds and at bus stops. But the morals of the queue do not govern all occasions. If I put my house up for sale， I have no duty to accept the first offer that comes along， simply because its the first. Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different activities， properly governed by different standards.
Sometimes standards change， and it is unclear which principle should apply. Think of the recorded message you hear， played over and over， as you wait on hold when calling your bank： “Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.” This is essential for the morals of the queue. Its as if the company is trying to ease our impatience with fairness. When we talked with Mr. Brown， he told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPSequipped car to use during his stay. They just entered an address and then set off to their destination. And， then it wasnt until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in.
Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But， he says， what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings， or failures， of GPS equipment. “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is that they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn， sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that its going to the wrong place.”
Mr. Brown says， “The most important thing is that you have to know what youre doing when you use a GPS. There are these new skills that people have developed. You need to have abilities to use GPS.”
GPS can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated， incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.
Barry Brown says to make GPS better we need a better understanding of how drivers， passengers and GPS work together.
44. From the passage above， we may infer that .
A. Barry Brown once went to the wrong place and got lost， under the direction of his GPS
B. even with the help of GPS， we may not always so lucky to find where we want to go
C. GPS is available to any class of people， be elites or ordinary people
D. GPS is outdated for our current social life and should be kicked out totally

A. there is something wrong with his GPS
B. the equipped GPS has become oldfashioned
C. he entered the GPS an incorrect destination before they started out
D. he input the wrong destination address into the newly purchased GPS
46. Which of the following reason has nothing to do with explaining why GPS can cause confusion for drivers？

B. Not updated in time.
C. Difficult to understand.
D. Machine aging.
47. According to Barry Brown， which body of the following isnt involved in bettering GPS？ A. Drivers.B. Passengers.

Charles Dickens was one of the most beloved storytellers in the English language. His novels made him famous in his own time， and continue as classics in ours.
Dickens began his literary career with almost no formal education. He was born in Land port， on Feb. 7， 1812， the second of eight children. When he was 12， his father was sent to debtors prison. Dickens was forced to quit school and work in a London blacking factory. He would rework that terrible experience into his fiction for the rest of his life.
“He was a social reformer，” says actor Simon Callow， author of a new biography called Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World. “He knew what poverty was. He knew what it was to be rejected， to be cast aside， to live in squalor （悲惨）.
And so Dickens wrote with great sympathy for the suffering of innocent and vulnerable （易受攻击的） children—characters like David Copperfield， Little Dorrit and the orphan， Oliver Twist：
With his slice of bread in his hand， and his little brown parish cap on his head， Oliver was now led away from the wretched home， where one kind work or look never lighted the gloom of his infant （幼儿） days.
Yet he burst into an agony of childish grief as the cottage gate closed behind him. Wretched as were the little companions in misery he was now leaving behind him， they were the only friends he had ever had.
His first book Sketches by Boz came out in 1836. With the appearance of Oliver Twist in London periodicals in 1837， the 25yearold Dickens became the most popular writer in England. But his first love was theater， and he considered becoming an actor.
“When he was actually writing， he became his characters，” says Peter Ackroyd， author of Dickens： Public Life and Private Passion.“He would get up from his desk， go over to the mirror and mouth the words—do the expressions， grimaces （鬼脸）， whatever， and then laugh， chuckle to himself， then go back to his desk and write it down.”
Dickens created 989 named characters， which increased his popularity. Every one of his major works has been adapted for either stage or screen. A Christmas Carol inspired more than a dozen films， from Alistair Sims Scrooge in 1951 to Jim Carreys voicing of the same character in Disneys 2009， 3D animated film.
The original 1843 manuscript （手稿） of A Christmas Carol is on display at the Morgan Library. Dickens wrote everything by hand， in tiny script， with a quill pen. Remarkably the manuscript is both the first and the final draft， says Kiely， the curator. You can see where Dickens has changed the name of the first chapter from “Old Marleys Ghost” to “Marleys Ghost”. Further down the page， he has cancelled an entire section. “He realizes hes not writing a novel， and he only has a very short time in which to write this，” Kiely explains. “Hes got to keep it tight， in order for it to be published in time for Christmas.”
Dickens wrote all the time. He traveled with a portable ink well and a supply of quill pens. He was working on his last novel， Our Matual Friend， en route from France to London when the train he was on crashed.
Dickens died after five years later in 1870， after a stroke at age 58. As a comic talent and a social reformer， Dickenss achievements was extraordinary， says novelist T.C. Boyle， who earned a doctorate in Victorian literature.
“He achieved what any great artist achieves—a body of work that has entertained and delighted and instructed people down through the ages. Thats what we all hope for，” says Boyle.
But Dickenss greatest fiction was his own character， says Callow， the biographer： “People think of him as a cheerful man... but he was increasingly suffering from depression and a sense of hopelessness. And thats worth knowing. I think its always good to know that great creative individuals have their struggle， their drama.”
48. Which of the following is NOT true， according to the passage？
A. In his readers and friends eyes， Dickens was a cheerless man but actually he was not.
B. Dickens put what he suffered when he was a child into his literary works.
C. Dickens never went to school in his childhood.
D. Dickens got through poverty when he was a kid.
49. From the passage above， we may safely get the impression of Dickens Oliver Twist that .
A. Dickens was reluctant accomplish it in the beginning， because he was eager to become an actor at that time
B. this work made Dickens become widely famous around the world
C. this work made Dickens a big fame in England at that time
D. this work made Dickens the top one actor in England at that time
50. In general peoples eyes， which one of the following words best describe Dickenss public image？
A. Funny.B. Poor.

六、One possible version：
Soon the expected Golden Week is coming， most students feel cheerful about that. However， a heated discussion about whether the public break time shall be shortened to 3 days or not arouses students great interest. Students hold different opinions toward this topic.
40% students support that proposal. They think they usually feel it boring to kill the 7 days with nothing special to do and they have to concentrate upon their studies after a long holiday； whats more， it will help to ease the traffic pressure caused by the holiday goingout rush hour.
However， 60% students stand on the disagreement side. In their opinion， it is beneficial for the whole family to go for a relaxing trip. Besides， they may attend the summer camps and know more friends. And they can go abroad to experience a 7day exchange student life to learn the exotic culture.
I hold the view that the holiday shouldnt be shortened. Because we have already got used to the length of the public holiday. It is a precious time for us family members to get together and share a happy time. I hope the 7 day holiday will remain for us as before.
