第二部分:阅读理解(每小题2分,满分40分)

第一节:阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

　A　

I have never traveled by plane but I would like to and I hope to have the opportunity very soon.Anyway,one can find advantages and disadvantages when traveling by plane.

The most important advantage is that it is the fastest means of transport when referring to long-distance travel.One can arrive in Spain in almost two hours and a half by plane.He can’t even figure out how time has passed and he has arrived at his destination.He does not have to wait three days in order to arrive in Spain by coach (长途公共汽车),which makes him feel pain in his legs and feel tired because he hasn’t slept more than three hours in the last three days.

Then,think about the conditions which are at our beck and call:we are attended by a beautiful hostess who will take care of us on the flight.The comfort helps us forget about the possibility of some technical problems and of an undeserved accident.

Anyway,many people feel scared when it comes to flying in a plane.They say that the risks of losing your life in plane travel are higher than in car travel.

Apart from this disadvantage,there are people who don’t choose to travel by plane because they get altitude sickness and they think air fares are too high.

One piece of advice I would like to give to people who choose to travel by plane is that they should not even think for a second about the plane crashing.Just relax,be comfortable and everything will be all right.Planes are well equipped and advanced technology tries to offer total protection to all passengers.

56.From the text,we can learn that 　　　.?

A.it’s a good choice to have long-distance travel by plane

B.there may be a few technical problems when people travel by plane

C.the author usually travels by plane

D.most people feel sick the first time they take a plane

57.What does the underlined phrase in the third paragraph mean?(　　)

A.Ready to serve us at any time.

B.Far away from us.

C.Out of our control.

D.Necessary in our life.

58.Which of the following is NOT the reason why people don’t like to travel by plane?(　　)

A.The risk of losing life is higher by plane.

B.Some people have altitude sickness.

C.It costs more to take a plane.

D.They can’t have a good sleep on a plane.

59.What’s the author’s attitude towards plane travel?(　　)

A.She is in favour of it.

B.She is strongly against it.

C.She shows no concern about it.

D.She is doubtful about it.

The first seven months in prison he thought about “everything”.Then he started to write songs.“ I started to put my feelings into words,” said Joe.

On December 13,2010,the album he recorded in prison was timed for release ( 发行).He was set free for good behavior after two years and 10 months.That afternoon,Joe gave a concert at the prison to celebrate his freedom and his CD,Crazy Life.Joe got into a crowd favorite.
