第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

A

I'm a travel addict (旅游迷). I think it is very exciting to go to new places, experience different situations and see unfamiliar things. Here's what I have come up with about why travel is so fascinating.

To start with, whether we know it or not, every day is filled with anxiety about things that we don't need to worry about in the first place. Going to new places is an opportunity to escape from our everyday worries. For example, after a whole day at work, I am often physically and mentally exhausted and start to worry about things. However, the moment I get on the train or bus to my next destination (目的地) I forget all my tiredness and worries.

Next is one of the most basic concepts in travel: movement. I always take along books to read on my train trips, but in the end, only about five pages or so ever get read, because I just stare out of the window at the things whooshing by. Just the ability to move is exhilarating (令人高兴的). Movement also means that we are going to new places and seeing new things. But why is that important? Because experiencing new situations, people and ideas could help us to learn about new things and grow, especially when we don't have the burden of everyday worries. I have never gone on a trip and come back as the same person; I have always changed and grown through travel.

So take every type of trip you can, at every chance you get, and you will not only experience more of the world, but will become a happier person with a richer set of experiences.

51．The text is mainly about ________.

A．how to have a comfortable life B．how to become a travel addict

C．why travel is so attractive D．how to get rich experiences

52．What does the underlined word, “exhausted”， mean in the second paragraph?

A．Angry. B．Excited. C．Tired. D．Weak.

53．Why doesn't the author read much on train trips?

A．Because he doesn't like reading on the train. B．Because he is distracted by the scenery.

C．Because he is too busy working to read. D．Because he is too tired to read.

54．The author develops the text mainly by ________.

A．cause and effect B．order in time

C．order in space D．examples

B

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.

However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.

And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hel
