Part 3 Reading and Writing (第三部分读与写)

VI. Reading Comprehension (阅读理解) (共50分)

A. Choose the best answer. (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) (12分)

A linguist, who studies languages, is always listening, never off-duty. I invited a group 01 friends round to my house, telling them that I was going to record their speech. I said I was interested in their regional accents (地方口音), and it would take only a few minutes to record it. Afterwards, one evening, three people came to my house and were shown into my sitting-room. In front of each chair there was a microphone (麦克风) at head height, connected to a recorder in the middle of the floor. They sat down, rather nervously. I explained that all I wanted was for them to count from one to twenty, men we could relax and have a drink.

I turned on the recorder and each in turn counted from one to twenty in their best accents. When it was over, I turned the recorder off and brought round the drinks. The rest of the evening was spent in complete relaxation. I talked and joked with them freely by leaving them only for a telephone call which lasted some time.

Or at least that is how it would appear. You know, of course, the microphones were not connected to the recorder in the middle of the room at all but to another one in the bedroom. My friends, having seen the recorder before them turned off, paid no more at tention to the microphones a few inches from their mouths, thus giving excellent sound quality (质量). It meant that I was able to get a piece of natural talk.[来源学科网]

I should add, perhaps, that I did tell my friends what had happened to them after the recording was over, and asked them whether it should be destroyed. None of them wanted to – but for some years after that, it always seemed that when it came to buying drinks, I paid for them Linguistic research can be a very expensive business.

Each of the guests made a particular focus on Kelly, the younger one, __77__ her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.

I think to myself that we adults usually make a big "to do" over the younger one because She's the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intention (意图).

But we __78__ think of how it might affect the elder child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she wasn't behaving well.

She turned to me with a sad expression and said, "Mum, why don't people like me the way they like my sister? Is it __80__ I'm not pretty? Is that why they don't say nice things about me as much?" I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.

If you are reading this article in class, you are trying to read it quickly. You have been taught to skim and scan. You will look for key words so as to understand the main idea of the article and the i__81__points in die article. Skimming and scanning is a good way in it limited (有限的) time, such as when you are taking an exam. However, today, many people skim and scan everything and they have l__82 __ the ability to enjoy reading. Something called "the slow reading movement" has become popular to solve the problem. The idea is that people turn off their computers and mobile phones for over half an hour each day and enjoy the h__83__ of reading a good book—slowly! In many cities there are e__84__slow reading clubs "here members go to a cafe, not to discuss books, but to sit quietly with each other, drink coffee and just read. Scientists have found that reading slowly, especially books of fiction, helps people relax and think about what they are reading. It also helps people empathize (共鸣). This point is essential. When you read a novel slowly, you get to understand the characters' emotions and to see the world t __85__their eyes.

Reading, of course, isn't easy. You have to sit still for one thing. It can seem boring when compared (比较) to the excitement of playing video games. For me, reading has been an endless pleasure in my life. From the age often, when I got my first library card. I've enjoyed the company (陪伴) of heroes, evil criminals and clever detectives, of thousand, of interesting people I would have never met in real life. Reading provided me with escape, but it also e__86__me to understand the world around me. It was an education in a classroom that had no walls.

In class, you have learned to read "fast." A__87__class, you should try to learn to read "slow." You may he surprised at how much you enjoy it.

D. Answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)

There is a murder to solve

There is a "murderer" among us. You may wonder what is happening. Let me tell you!

If you get on the Murder Mystery Lunch train from London's Victoria Station, you will surely meet such an "experience". Passengers take part in a detective game and find the "murder er" on their way to Kent.

Before the passengers get on the train, a gentleman named Gray will greet them in front of the train. He is dressed in grey with a cat in hisarms. He will be the first actor to meet the passengers. He will have a chat with people and drop some clues.

As soon as the train leaves Victoria Station, a woman will run into the carriage (车厢) and cry, "1 have been stabbed (刺伤)!" Then a young man called Matt will rush into the carriage and shout, " There's been a 'murder'. Don't be frightened!" Then passengers will have time to question the characters, including a detective, a newspaper reporter and a policeman about what's going on.

After the meal, all the passengers will sit together and raise their own ideas of the "murder". Those who a re able to solve the case can get a bottle of champagne (香槟) as reward(奖励).

One ticket of the Murder Mystery Lunch train costs about ￡310, including a five-course lunch with champagne and wine. It doesn't sound too expensive. But the question is that it is difficult to book a ticket because the train is too popular nowadays. After all, many people have a detective dream, don't they?

88. The Murder Mystery Lunch train leaves London's Victoria Station, doesn't it?

89. Who will the passengers meet first after they get on the train?
