第三部分：閱讀理解：（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

(A)

What makes a house a home? A home is a place of companionship with people in it who love each other, who are harmonious (和諧的) and closer with one another than with those in the workplace or with classmates at school. A home is a place that’s so magnetic（有吸引力的） that it’s difficult to leave. In a home there is love, sharing and appreciation, and the members help one another.

I have seen families on the street. But if they live, sleep, talk, and eat together, they are a family, even if they are poorly off. You don’t need a roof to make a home. The truly homeless are some of the rich people who build multi-million-dollar houses and are too busy to really live in them. The truly homeless are those who have turned their home into a hotel lobby. The parents work and the children misbehave. They don’t talk and eat together every day. They rarely see each other. The truly homeless people are those with babysitters, caretakers, gardeners and maids. However, people are unaware of this, as they are too busy making money outside the home that they don’t live in. This is another way of looking at the rich and the homeless. Who is to be pitied?

Control of the computer and the Internet is also important to make a house into a home. If the computer is on all the time, the house turns into an office, even if everyone is at home. Many homes these days are just offices. Human communication has stopped. The computer eats up all the time that one should be giving to others within the home. Using the computer moderately gives us time for play and communication, not with a screen, but with other people.

56. Which of the following may serve as the best title for this passage?

A. How to make a house a home?

B. What makes a house a home?

C. Who are truly homeless?

D. What is a home for?

57. The purpose of the first paragraph is to _________.

A. tell us that where there is home there is love

B. tell us what people think a home is

C. tell us the author’s concept（理解）of home

D. tell us how to have a happy home

58. The underlined word “those” refers to ________.

A. people who build multi-million-dollar houses

B. people who have lost their family members

C. people who don’t spend time with the family

D. homeless families living on the street in America

59. Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?

A. A home is a place where you are willing to stay.

B. Even the poorest people can have a happy home.

C. Computers and the Internet are important for a happy home.

D. Sometimes it’s the rich that should be pitied.

閱讀下面的短文，然后從A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

A

My father came to the United States as a Ukrainian immigrant （移民）when he was 14 years old. Unable to speak English but willing to do anything to succeed, he learned the language, and became a barber. He put his two daughters, my sister and me, through college during a time when most people thought that women didn’t need an education and that they should be satisfied by getting married and having children.

I was preparing to get married and my father was trying to practice the polka, a must at any Ukrainian wedding. But he couldn’t do it! He had lost the mobility（活動(dòng)能力）in his leg and suffered a brain tumor（瘤）. He was forced to retire as a result of paralysis（癱瘓）of his right arm and leg. Dad had always worked two jobs and spent his spare time working around the house. Now his life came to a sudden stop. Yet never once did he complain. He bought rubber balls and spent his days trying to regain his hand mobility by squeezing those balls over and over.

After his second brain operation, he chatted pleasantly in the hospital room until a nurse flew into the room, waving her finger at me, and yelling, “You’d better tell your father to stay in bed. He is paralyzed and will never walk again. I am sick of picking him up and you’d better warn him to stay put!” My father smiled. He spent a great deal of time on the floor that year, but he eventually got up and walked.

My father lived nineteen more years after that second brain operation. He bought himself a motorized scooter（單腳滑行車）and spent years moving around the streets of Philadelphia. He was proud, free and always smiling.

56.In what way was the father different from most other people in his time?

A. He succeeded immigrating to the US.     

B. He learned the new language easily and quickly.

C. He achieved his life goal by working as a barber.   

D. He tried to offer his daughters the education chance.

57.   The underlined word “polka” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ________.

A. a song     B. a dance         C. a rubber ball       D. a new language

58.   The author’s father played with rubber balls to ________.

A. kill his too much spare time     B. reduce his work pressure

C. get his hand mobility back       D. recover from the brain tumor

59.   What can we learn from the passage?

A. Love can create wonders.          B. Failure is the mother of success.

C. Father’s love is the most valuable.   D. Never give up your life and dream.
