第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
We gather a great deal of incidental( 伴随而来的) knowledge from pets．If we look after them properly we learn what they like and dislike． We do not set out to gain this knowledge purposely, but in attending to our pets we gain it by the way． It is got without our realizing it．
In keeping our dogs or cats we learn about various diseases that can affect them，and the cures for these diseases．We learn how much sleep they need and what kind of food keeps them healthy． In looking after our fish we learn about the composition of water． We get to know what kinds of fish can live peacefully together and what kinds are hostile（敌对的）to each other． We learn that animal，fish and birds have a lot of things in common with human beings．
If children keep pets their general education is helped by this kind of incidental knowledge．One little incident after another in which their pets are involved adds to their store of learning．It is a more interesting form of learning than that given in the biology lesson in school．People who keep pets should have a sense of responsibility towards them．Children，too，should be taught to be responsible．Pets are completely dependent on their owners and the owners should respond to this dependence by looking after them．Irresponsible behavior towards pets is a form of cruelty．
In deciding to keep a pet we take on a task，we make ourselves responsible for providing proper food and shelter for the pet．In a crowded city like Hong Kong, where there is so little room for the exercise required by large pets，we should think twice before undertaking the responsibility of keeping one．

B
Thanks to the huge success of Harry Potter, many teenagers dream about living in an ancient castle. These dreams may include beautiful silk dresses, delicious food, servants and of course, magic. However, real life in an English castle was not easy. With thick stonewalls and high towers, castles were built for defence. So they were not good places to live in. In medieval times（中世纪）, castles must have been noisy and smelly places. Horses, cattle, chickens and sheep walked free, blacksmiths did ironwork, soldiers practised sword (剑) fights, and children of all ages played around them. Castles did not have central heating; the only heat came from the fireplace. Even in summer the castle was cool. People living in the castles had to use blankets to keep warm while at work.
Life during the Middle Ages began at sunrise. Servants lit the fire, swept the floor and cooked the morning meal. The mid-morning meal was the main meal of the day and often included three or four courses (一道菜). After dinner, everyone continued his or her work. The owner of the castle, the lord, sometimes took his guests hunting or shooting. His wife, the lady, spent much of the day watching the maids (女仆) work, as well as people working in the kitchen. She also kept an eye on the weavers and embroiderers who made clothes for the family. Supper was simple and eaten late, just before bedtime.
You may find some old magic books in a castle as Harry Potter once did. Read them before you go to bed, because when you fall asleep the magic of castle life may appear before your eyes.
65. For what purpose were the castles built in
A. To raise poultry (家禽) and livestock (家畜).
B. To provide a working place for blacksmiths.
C. To defend the city or country against enemies.
D. To provide a place for teenagers to learn magic.
66. Why were the ancient castles noisy?
A. Because soldiers practiced sword fights there.
B. Because blacksmiths did ironwork there.
C. Because children of all ages played around them.
D. All of the above.
67. Which of the following about family life in castles is true according to the passage?
A. The servants in castles lived an easy life.
B. Supper was eaten before sunset.
C. The wife spent much of the day at home.
D. Dinner was eaten in the middle of the day.
68. The main idea of this passage is ______.
A. castles were not good places to live in
B. castles in novels are different from those in history
C. Harry Potter's story in a castle affected people
D. what real life was like in an ancient castle
C

Scholars and researchers have tried to discover what personality characteristics go along with success in intercultural experiences. Their findings have often been unclear or incomplete. But three characteristics stand out in their reports: patience, a sense of humor, and the awareness of being unclear.
Patience, of course, is the ability to keep calm even when things do not go as one wants them to, or hopes they will, or has even been sure they will. Impatience sometimes brings improvements in relations with other people, but usually it does not.
A person with a sense of humor is less likely to take things too seriously and more ready to see the humor in her own reactions than is a humorless person. The value of a sense of humor really needs to be paid more attention to.
“The awareness of being unclear” is a more difficult concept than patience or a sense of humor. Foreigners often find themselves in situations that are unclear to the newcomers. That is, they do not know what is happening in the situation. Perhaps they do not understand the local language well enough, or they do not know how some system or organization works, or they can’t be sure of different people’s roles in what is going on. “It’s like I just got here from the moon,” a Chinese graduate student who newly arrived in the
72.The passage mainly tells us .
A．that it’s not easy to travel abroad
C．of some characteristics in dealing with foreigners
D．of three main ways useful for communicating with foreigners
73.According to the passage, what characteristic should be most focused on?
A．Patience
B．The awareness of being unclear
C．The sense of humor
D．Understanding each other.
74. “The awareness of being unclear” refers to .
A．knowing the meaning of an exact situation
B．not stating clearly what happens
C．realizing the possible misunderstanding in a situation
D．being aware of the unclear situation
75.Which of the following can best sum up the passage?
A．It is necessary to learn the language before you go to the country.
B．Americans are used to the culture of other countries.
C．One needs many characteristics to live in another country.
D．To live in a foreign land one should get fully prepared.

There are all kinds of stress in our daily lives such as stress from work, stress from study and stress from examinations. How to manage stress is thus a very important problem that we have to deal with properly. I think stress itself doesn’t exist. It’s only because we consider things to be bad and regard all of them as our own fault and won’t forgive ourselves. As we all know, there is nothing you can do without error. So it’s impossible to expect everything to be perfect. If we have done our best, although not successfully, there is nothing to regret. And we don’t need to blame ourselves continuously. In fact we have done a quite good job. Then we will feel the stress less. We will stay healthy and do well in the future. Eventually we will be successful.
