第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题；每题2分，满分40分)
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从 36~55各题所给旳四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Like business and industry, the academic world is changing as technology advances.Libraries are one place we see changes.Many innovative(革新旳)things are happening in both public and university libraries.Libraries are using new equipment and techniques for research, and librarians are teaching students the new techniques.
One service that some university libraries are now providing is a computer search of materials for students doing research.Before starting a research project, students check with their library to see if a computer search is worthwhile.This kind of search cannot help with all research projects, but it can save time if the topic is in the computer's database(数据库).When you are doing a manual search for a research paper, you look at all the indexes(索引)appropriate to the research topic.You look up the words related to the topic in the indexes.It takes many hours to look up this information and write down the references.A computer search is faster and easier.You and a librarian decide on the words to enter the computer.The computer looks for these words in this database and gives you a list of reference for your topic.A computer can take two or more ideas and produce references that combine those ideas.A computer search can also be more complete than a manual search.
College and university libraries are providing other technological services as well.Another change is the frequent use of microfilm.Librarians are able to collect more materials in one building by having newspapers, magazines, and other documents on microfilm.Students use microfilm readers(阅读器)in the library for these materials.
These innovations in libraries are helpful to library users, but they are also expensive.Many libraries are facing budget(预算)problems.There is more technology available today; as a result, libraries are paying higher costs for the equipment that makes research easier.
56.In academics as well as in business and industry ________.
A.technology advance is causing changes
B.technology does not progress so fast as in other fields
C.technological innovations have not taken place yet
D.the techniques used are as almost the same as they were 50 years ago.
57.Before research begins, students find out at the library ________.
A.if the computer looks through its database to choose their topic
B.if the computer writes out a list of the words they entered
C.if a computer search will be useful
D.if librarians are helpful to them
58.When the computer's database includes the research topic, ________.
A.computer searches are not helpful with the research project
B.computer searches are useless for most kinds of research
C.a computer search for materials is the best way to begin any type of research
D.computer searches can save time
59.Libraries can keep larger amounts of material by ________.
A.buying a lot of newspapers
B.collecting more information on other university buildings
C.using different indexes from other university libraries
D.having microfilm copies of newspapers and other documents
60.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A.Libraries have budget problems because of the many library users.
B.Libraries have microfilm because it is easier to use than newspapers.
C.Technological innovations are helpful but expensive.
D.Technological equipment makes research easier for the library users.
B
Erina Kobayashi camped outside a Tokyo warehouse(货栈)overnight in a cardboard box to make sure she was first in line for a handbag—a Vuitton handbag.
The 23-year-old Japanese clerk already owns six or seven handbags of this famous brand(品牌), yet she’s determined to buy another.
At exactly 9:30 a.m., the doors of the warehouse open, and the race begins.A crowd of young women, Erina leading the way, rush inside and gather as many trendy handbags as they can out of a huge mountain of Vuitton, Chanel, and Guccis.
Japan's economy might be dropping but the flood of young women at this sale shows their passion(狂热) for foreign-brand handbags, wallets and other luxury(奢华) goods.The warehouse even is organized twice a year before Christmas by pawnshop owners to sell the authentic(真正)goods at two thirds of the retail(零售)price.
Besides the 18~24 year-olds like Erina, another generation who goes crazy for brands is the reckless 30~35 year old “banana generation”, said Yoko Kawashima, director of marketing research at Itochu Fashion System.This group is yellow race but lives a modern Western life and doesn't care what will happen in the future.
There are also the 25 and 30 year-olds who often buy pricey items under the influence of their mother, typically aged 50 to 55.
“Since marriages in Japan started happening later and later, many young women live with their parents.These women have a good salary and a lot of spare money with no rent and no food bills,” she said.
So there is a kind of general attraction to luxurious handbags.These women want to be different from other girls, according to Toshi Marks.She is a professor of multi-cultural studies at Shumei University, writes about Japanese society and frequently appears on television.
For her, Japan's craze for luxury goods arises from the education system which does not teach people to think for themselves.“Japanese pupils are forced to memorize everything the teachers say,” Marks said.
Deep down their hearts, people are also still aware of the defeat they suffered in the World War II, she said.“Japanese feel in many ways that they are inferior to Western countries and so are Japanese goods to foreign goods.”
In addition, Japanese miss the prosperous 1980s, she said.They want to cling to some sign of prosperity by showing they can buy.Modesty is no longer a virtue.Showing off has taken its place.Japan’s economic crisis(危机) over the past 12 years has created a difference between social classes and a variety in taste.
“A division has appeared between those who can afford handbags priced 300 000 yen (20 750 yuan ) a piece and those who can't.This gap will widen,” she predicted.
61.What's the main idea of this story?
A.Japan's economic crisis has led to big changes in people's way of thinking.
B.Japan's economic crisis has led to changes in people's attitude towards foreign brands.
C.Many Japanese, especially women, go crazy for foreign brands.
D.Many Japanese, especially women, go crazy for foreign brands and the reasons behind this.
62.The underlined word “reckless” in Paragraph 5 means________.
A.careless              B.impulsive(冲动)         C.calculating                   D.fun-loving
63.By mentioning the connection between Japan’s crazy for foreign brands and the education system, Toshi Marks implies that ________.
A.people are easily influenced by fashion
B.people don’t think independently
C.people are unselfish
D.people are taught to care more about others' opinions
64.This sentence used to be a part of the story.“Erina is the perfect target customer for big fashion brands: she was single, with a high salary, and a habit of using half of it to buy such things.” Which two paragraphs was it between?
A.Paragraph 1 and 2.                                 B.Paragraph 2 and 3.
C.Paragraph 3 and 4.                                 D.Paragraph 4 and 5.
C
I still remember—my hands and my finger-tips still remember!—what used to lie in store for us on our return to school from the holidays.The trees in the schoolyard would be in full leaf again, and the old leaves would be lying around like a muddy sea of leaves.
“Get that all swept up !” the headmaster would tell us.“I want the whole place cleaned up at once!” There was enough work there, to last for over a week.Especially since the only tools with which we were provided were our hands, our fingers, our nails.“Now see that it's done properly, and be quick about it,” the headmaster would say to the older boys, “or you'll have to answer for it.”
So at an order from the older boys we would all line up like peasants about to cut and gather in crops.If the work was not going as quickly as the headmaster expected, the big boys, instead of giving us a helping hand, used to find it simpler to beat us with branches pulled from the trees.In order to avoid these blows, we used to bribe(贿赂)them with the juicy cakes we used to bring for our mi
