第三部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

第一节　(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

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

A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.

The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad. Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits.

Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company, telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip (静脉滴注), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.

But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the old man would give her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere (干涉), unwilling to offend the old man. A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma (昏迷) a few times.

When rescued from the latest coma, the old man told the doctor his last wish, “I have deep sympathy for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies？”

But the doctor knew that her family was well-off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father's car.

When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sad and burst into tears. Then she handed $ 500 to the doctor, saying, “The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty. He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling.” Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the last period of his life, the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need.

56. If you're a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, what kind of people do you have to attend to?

A. The patients in need of help.

B. The people suffering from cancer.

C. The patients without many days left.

D. The people suffering from diseases.

57. What can we infer about the old man?

A. He had a lot of savings.

B. He was suffering from cancer.

C. He often lost his temper before meeting the girl.

D. He asked the doctor to help the girl finish her study.

58. What can we know from the passage?

A. The doctor told the old man the truth.

B. The old man's children were wealthy.

C. The girl's father encouraged her to accept the money.

D. The girl didn't accompany the old man when he died.

59. What is the real reason resulting in the old man's mental improvement?

A. The girl's comfort and care.

B. The pleasure of being helpful to people in need.

C. People's understanding.

D. His children's progress.

B

Adam Smith was the first person to see the importance of the division of the labor. He gave us an example of the process by which pins were made in England.

One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, and a fifth gives it a head. Just to make the head requires two or three different operations. The work of making pins is divided into about eighteen different operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them.

Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4,800 pins a worker. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not have made twenty pins in a day and not even one.

There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this, but he also took it for granted that the division of labor is itself responsible for economic growth and development and it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. In fact, the division of labor adds nothing new, and it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.

60. According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to ________.

A. take advantage of the physical labor

B. introduce the division of labor into England

C. understand the effects of the division of labor

D. explain the causes of the division of labor

61. Adam S
