第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

When I woke up, I made myself breakfast, sat and listened to the traffic. Some of my friends ask me how I can stand living somewhere so noisy. It’s true that there’s always some kind of noise in my neighborhood, but to me, these are the sounds of life.

It was Saturday morning, so I decided to go to the park. The taxi is the fastest way to go but I took the bus instead.

When you ride the bus, you get to see so much more of the city. It can be kind of loud on the bus, with some people talking on their phones, others chatting with their friends, and others playing music. It’s just like the traffic’s sounds, though the noise on the bus represents people working, relaxing and living.

Once I got to the park, I picked a bench over near the play area where kids play while their parents sit nearby. I can see and hear almost everything from there. People-watching is one of my favorite things to do. However, I like listening even better. The only problem is that there’s so much to see and hear in the park!

Usually, I like to close my eyes. That way, I can pay more attention to the sounds and not get distracted by what I see. With my eyes closed, I could pick out parts of two old men’s conversation. One of them was telling the other about something his grandson said. I couldn’t hear the rest, but it must have been hilarious because his friend’s laugh was so loud.

When I’m old, I hope that I too will have a friend who will sit in the park with me, and who will enjoy listening to the sounds of the city as much as I do.

51. Some of the author’s friends think“the sounds of life”are very_____.

A. magical B. unique C. unpleasant D. interesting

52. The author took the bus to the park because________.

A. it was the most convenient way B. his friend advised him to do so

C. there was no other transport to go there D. he wanted to see more about people’s life

53. The author closed his eyes in order to________.

A. avoid talking with the two old men B. enjoy the sounds of life

C. hide himself from view D. have a good rest

54. The underlined word“hilarious”in Paragraph 5 probably means“________”.

A. quite popular B. truly different C. extremely funny D. rather strange

B

Dear Mr. Barone,

As we know, our traditional seventh-grade spring field trip is to the State History Museum. This year, we would like to visit the new World Botanical Gardens located in East Johnsonville. The garden hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The class could leave school at 8:00 a.m. and arrive just as the gardens open.
