When former American President Bill Clinton travelled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president’s wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohn Myong Suk. Therefore she should be addressed(写姓名地址) as Mrs. Sohn. President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.
In addition to Koreans, some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.
Mexican naming customs are different as well, When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word de (of). This affects how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.
Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name, Remember that in many Asian cultures , the order of first and last names is reversed(颠倒). Ask which name a person would prefer to use . If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.
63. The story of Bill Clinton is used to ________________.
A. improve US-Korean relations         B. introduce the topic of the text
C. describe his visit to Korea            D. tell us how to address a person
64. The word “gears” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________________.
A. action plans     B. naming customs   C. travel maps      D. thinking patterns
65. When a woman marries in Mexico, she ____________________.
A. continues to use her family name      B. uses her husband’s given name
C. shares her husband’s family name      D. adds her husband’s name to hers
66. To address a married woman properly, you’d better ________________.
A. use her middle name                 B. use her husband’s first name
C. ask her which name she likes          D. change the order of her names

When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.
People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.
59. We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ________.
A. we think about our eyes           B. we cannot see clearly
C. we wear glasses                 D. we have to do much reading
60. According to the passage, a ________ is more likely to be nearsighted.
A. student    B. runner    C. guard    D. worker
61. People who are farsighted ________ .
A. cannot do a lot of close work without glasses
B. can only see things that are very close to their eyes
C. have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s length
D. have the same problem as the nearsighted people
62. To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ________ .
A. with wide open eyes             B. with half shut or narrowed eyes
C. straight at it                    D. in a slightly different direction

第三部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节     (共15小题；每小题2分，共30分)
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
“How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you’ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says you’re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.
This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you’ll find it not half so hard as you might have thought.
Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English.
Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.
56. In the writer’s opinion, the most effective way in learning English is ________.
A. to practise speaking, writing and feeling it
B. to forget your own native language
C. to translate everything into his own language
D. to memorize the English words and grammatical rules
57. “Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. ”This sentence means that memorizing your own language can ________.
A. help you to study English well      B. stop you mastering English
C. make English easy to learn         D. help you notice mistakes
58. Equally important is to feel the language. “to feel the language” here means________.
A. to get a knowledge of English by touching
B. to be able to read and write English
C. to translate English into your own by imagining
D. to be able to experience the rich sensation of the language

Imagine being the only person in the Forbidden City. You could stay there all day without swarms of people crowding around. You'd be able to look at the ancient treasures without worrying about other visitors pushing you for a better view. Well, in two years time you'll be able to have such an experience, just like the former emperors used to. The only difference is that your Forbidden City fun will be online.
Thanks to new technology, a virtual(虚拟的) tour of the Forbidden City will be available online by 2008. The project － jointly driven by the Palace Museum and computer company IBM － aims to help teenagers around the world become more interested in Chinese culture. The project will offer an interactive, three-dimensional view of the palace. The virtual tour will provide images from all over the 780,000-square-metre palace.
"The Palace Museum is a big book; there are always places you haven't read about," said Hu Chui from the museum. There are many rooms closed for protection. But the virtual platform breaks the boundaries of time and space, meaning visitors can see whatever they want. "The interaction and games content in the virtual tour will attract more young people to understand and love our cultural heritage," added Hu.
In the virtual tour, historical figures will actually talk to visitors and answer their questions. The stories behind the buildings and treasures will also be told. "The online environment, presented in both Chinese and English, enables visitors to experience the culture and stories of the museum," said James Yeh, an IBM official.
68. If you visit the Forbidden City now, which of the following won't be the case you'll have?
A. It is crowed with a lot of visitors.        B. Visitors are pushing you for a better view.
C. You are the only person in it.               D. You can see some ancient treasures in it.
69. Which of the following is not the advantage of the virtual tour of the Forbidden City?
A. Visitors can see whatever they want.   B. Visitor can ask and talk to historical figures.
C. Visitors can get to know the cultural heritage by playing games.
D. Visitors can walk around the Forbidden City with your family.
70. The "project" underlined in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. a virtual tour of the Forbidden City
B. a new "Forbidden City" to be built by the Palace Museum and IBM computer company
C. an Internet cafe to be built in the Palace Museum
D. a big book to be published to introduce Chinese culture
