第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

  When I told my family that I was thinking of taking a cooking job, the roars of laughter were rather discouraging. No one believed that I could cook at all, as I had never had a chance to practice at home. Our cook had ruled in the kitchen for thirty years and had an annoying tendency to regard the pans, stove and all the kitchen fittings as her own property.

 I once crept down there when I thought she was asleep in her room to try out an omelet(炒蛋). Noiselessly I removed a frying pan from its hook and the eggs from their cupboard. It was the pop of the gas that woke her, I think, for I was just breaking the first egg when a pair of slippered feet moved round the door and a scream of horror caused me to break the egg on the floor. This disaster upset her so much that she locked herself in the storeroom with all the food and we had to make our Sunday dinner of bananas.

 If the family weren’t going to be helpful, I would look for a job all by myself and not tell them about it till I’d got one. I had seen an agency in a local paper, so as soon as there was no one about to say “Where are you going?” I rushed out of the house in search of it.

 I sat on the edge of a chair and could see my nose shining out of the corner of my eye. I thought perhaps it was a good thing; it might look more earnest. The woman at the desk

examined me through her glasses. Having asked me a few questions, she told me that it would be difficult to get a job without experience. “But,” she said, “I’ve got someone who needs a cook badly.” She wrote down a number, and my spirits went up as I took the slip of paper she held out to me, saying: “Ring up this day. She wants a cook. You would have to start tomorrow by cooking dinner for ten people. Could you manage that?”

 “Oh yes,” said I — never having cooked for more than four in my life.

41. Which of the following best describes the response of the author’s family to her plan of taking a cooking job?

A. Pleased.    B. Doubtful.   C. Uncomfortable.D. Positive.

42. One reason for the author’s lack of practice in cooking was that __________.

 A. no one in her family would like her to practice cooking

 B. everything in the kitchen was property belonging to the cook

C. the cook would never allow her to do any cooking

 D. she was not yet born when the cook came to the house

43. The cook felt uncomfortable when ________.

A. she heard a scream of horror

 B. she heard the sound of a pair of slippered feet moving round the door

C. she saw the author enter the kitchen

D. she saw the author break an egg on the floor

44. The family had to have bananas for dinner that Sunday because _______.

A. the cook was on strike

B. they preferred bananas to omelet

C. the author cooked so badly

D. no one in the family had cooking ability

45. When there was no one about, the author rushed out of the house because ________.

 A. she was independent in searching for a cooking job

B. she wouldn’t answer the question her family would ask

 C. that was the only chance for her to leave the house

D. she didn’t want to reveal what she was going to do

B

Internet use appears to cause a decline in psychological well-being, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University. Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less frequently, the two-year study showed. And it wasn’t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feelings.

 Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others. The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in well-being, researchers hypothesized. Faceless, bodiless “virtual”(虚拟的) communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.

 “But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology itself; it’s about how it is used,” says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study’s sponsors. “It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology.”

46. The word “well-being” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.

 A. trouble    B. health    C. depression  D. excitement

47. Which of the following CANNOT explain the result of the research according to the passage?

A. Internet users may spend less time with their family and friends.

B. The “virtual” communication may be less psychologically satisfying.

C. Internet users may be less satisfied with their lives.

D. Internet users make too many friends through the Internet.

48. What lessons may be drawn from the result of the research?

 A. We should not have developed the Internet technology.

B. We should change the way we use the Internet.

C. We need Internet technology very much.

D. TV is more useful than the Internet.

49. What is the best title for the passage?

A. The Popularity of Internet Use B. The History of Internet Use

C. The Harm of Internet Use D. The Fast Development of Internet Use
