第二部分: 阅读理解（共两节, 满分40分）

（共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分）

A

We thought we had it all --- a beautiful house, three healthy children and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment --- and we loved it. Then, the market turned and my husband’s job at a construction company was gone. The company was closing down for good.

We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren’t any to be found. With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn’t felt in years.

That’s why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation. I continually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.

Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said, “We have four healthy children and each other. That’s what’s important. That makes you a rich man.”

“But what if we lose the house? They’ll hate me --- you’ll hate me,” he replied.

I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye. “No matter where we live I will be happy --- as long as I have you,” I smiled again as I realized that I wasn’t just saying that. In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said “I do”.

I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn’t for quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.

We are still struggling for our better life, but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can’t buy and no one can take away from us.

The underlined sentence in the second paragraph means that ______.

they became closer as they struggled together

they hoped to find jobs in the same company

neither of them had the courage to face the difficulty

they were trying to make their relationship closer

We can learn from the passage that ______.

they both found good jobs at last

both of them were worried about joblessness

her husband was to blame for the unemployment

they didn’t love each other when they got married

Which of the following can best describe their present life?

Bitter but easy. B. Comfortable and happy. C. Hard but warm. D. Well-off and relaxing.

The best title of the passage might be ______.

We Have It All B. We Find It Again. C.A Perfect Couple D. Hard Time

B

There are probably no people on Earth who like to gossip as much as the British. If prying into(打探) other’s lives were an Olympic sport, then Team GB would surely take the gold medal.

And when the British can’t watch the lives of real people, they have another source of entertainment to fall back on—the soap opera. British soap operas are very different to US TV dramas. For one, they are normally longer running. The two most popular, Coronation Street and East-enders, have been running for 48 and 24 years respectively. Both are broadcast several times a week, so remarkably there have been more than 7,000 episodes of Coronation Street.

The most obvious difference is that, unlike US dramas, the British soap operas focus on the real world. There is little glamour (魅力), the stars are rarely rich, and they normally have boring jobs. Perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the characters often mirror the lives of the audience—but with some drama added. This means the viewer can relate to the characters and feel the pain and happiness they go through on the show.

Because these soap operas last for decades, the cast is ever changing. The shows rarely focus on one or two main characters. Like the real world, people come and go all the time. However, there are exceptions. Coronation Street’s William Roach, 76, has played the role of Ken Barlow since the very first episode of the show in 1960, and he is still a regular.

The choice of which soap opera you follow is often cultural: People from the north of British tend to watch Coronation Street as it is set in Manchester. People from the south generally prefer East-enders, which is set in the east of London. The show is generally considered grittier and is aimed at a younger audience.

25. What is the main difference between American dramas and British soap operas?

A. American dramas are longer. B. British soap operas are longer.

C. American dramas deal with dangerous things. D. British soap operas deal with real people.

26. Why do British people like to watch such operas?

A. They can find their own life from the operas. B. They can enjoy the operas in their free time.

C. They can watch the operas for many years. D. They care about the fate of the characters in the operas.

27. The underlined world “episodes” in the 2nd paragraph probably means ______.

A. plays B. pages C. issues D. parts

28. One characteristic of British operas is that ______.

A. the characters play the same role for a long time. B. the characters in the play often change

C. people don’t know what will happen next D. there is only one or two characters in them

C
