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,选出最佳选项答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
My sister and I shared a typical sisterly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other.Or, to be honest, she couldn’t stand me.I took her as a hero.My clothes mysteriously looked like hers, and even my words tended to copy those I heard from her.Any sort of talk we had usually became a fighting, and try as I might, my sister had an extra six years worth of rude vocabulary.
After a while, I stopped trying to impress her and learned to be totally indifferent(冷漠的);we soon fell into a sad pattern — I avoided her, she paid no attention to me, and deep inside, it hurt.She was only a sister in name.I truly believed that we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth.
I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike.I had received the bike that Christmas, which was great, until I realized I had no idea how to ride it.My mom had long since abandoned any attempt to teach me; I had proved to be a frustrating student.I had to learn by myself, a little bit each day, but unsuccessfully.On that day I was so disappointed that I threw my bike aside and began to cry, I guess that was what caused my sister to come outside.At first I was nervous, as I thought she would begin to laugh at me.She did not.She gently picked my bike up.That was the beginning.She fearlessly held my hand while the tears dried on my cheeks.She never once let me fall.And for three hours — three wonderful hours — we learned to ride my bike.No shouting.No fighting.No arguing.
That day I learned that my sister was human — how else could she have been my teacher? It was a life-changing experience.We still occasionally have our quarrels, but since that day, it’s been easier to get along because we have an unspoken respect for each other.
56.From the first paragraph, we can infer that _____.
A.the writer’s sister usually won the fighting
B.the writer was not always honest with her sister
C.the writer showed little respect for her sister
D.the writer’s sister had a good memory
57.When the writer failed to impress her sister, she _____.
A.felt hurt and treated her sister as a stranger
B.decided to be indifferent to her sister
C.didn’t talk with any member of the family
D.kept apart from her sister for a long time
58.What caused the writer to cry when she learned to ride a bike?
A.She fell off the bike and hurt herself seriously.
B.Her mother refused to buy her a bike.
C.She couldn’t learn how to ride a bike by herself.
D.Her sister laughed at her old bike.
