四、阅读理解（共15小题；每题3分，共45分。）

A

Madame Tussand’s is a waxwork museum in central London. It has wax(蜡)models of well �known people: living and dead, kings and queens, film stars and singing stars, government heads of some countries and even murderers. Over two million people visit the museum every year, making it Britain’s number one spot of interest.

Madame Tussaud lived nearly 200 years ago. She started making models in wax when she was very young and came to London from Paris in 1802. After travelling around the country with her waxwork exhibition for many years, she set up the museum in 1835. Her grandsons moved it to its present home fifty years later.

The team of full-time artists at Madame Tussaud’s can’t work fast but they do their job well, and the models are surprisingly lifelike. When a model of a particular celebrity (名人)is to be made, he or she visits the museum first to meet the artist. who takes hundreds of photos and measurements. The celebrity usually supplies the museum with clothes for the model to wear. Each model takes about +six months to complete because the artists have to work slowly and care-fully. They make the eyes separately and put real human hair into the wax one hair at a time. ‘It’s important that people recognise the models. When celebrities are no longer popular, we take away their models quickly and put new ones instead,’ says a person in charge.

Madame Tussaud’s changes with the times. In the future, with the use of computer technology, the museum is planning to show figures that can walk and talk.

( )46.Which of the following would be the best title(标题)for the text?

Madame Tussaud’s Waxwork Exhibition

Madame Tussaud’s, Past, Present and Future

Madame Tussaud’s, the Works of Best Artists

Madame Tussaud, Founder of the Waxwork Museum

( )47.Around which year did Madame Tussaud’s move to where it is now?

1798

1802

1835

1885

( )48.In order to make the model lifelike, the artists __________.

design new clothes for the model

plant man-mode hair into the wax

make the eyes in different workshops

examine closely the pictures of the celebrity

( )49.Why does Madame Tussaud’s remain to be an interesting place for people to visit?

It follows the general development of society.

It manages to stay the way it has always been.

It has plans to use the computer in the future.

It can make models walk and talk like real people.

Every night for a year, Neil Simmons quietly went out of his house. He wanted to ‘talk’ to an owl(猫头鹰) settling for the night at the end of his garden .He made owl cries like a real wild owl and was happy to hear the bird ‘hooting’ back to him.

Last year Fred Cornes moved in next door. He heard and owl hooting and answered back. For 12 months the neighbours got into the back gardens of their homes, thinking they were talking with nature. Mr.Simmons kept a diary of all his talks with his bird friend. They would both be out again tonight if it weren’t for a chance talk between their wives.

Mr.Simmons said: ’My wife Kim was telling Fred’s wife Wendy about my owl watching and described(描述)how I got the birds to boot back.. She said, “That’s funny-that’s just what Fred has been doing.” Then the penny dropped. I felt such a fool when I found out. The trouble is that owl calls aren’t exactly the same and it’s easy to make a mistake.’

Mr.Cornes said: ’I’m really flattered (过奖). I didn’t know I sounded so real. I love nature and I couldn’t resist hooting at the owls. I was very excited when they hooted back. I’m sorry that I was fooling my neighbour who was fooling me,’

( )50.After the talk between the wives, the two men would probably _________.

stop observing owls

not stay up hooting again

not enter the back garden again

make no mistakes about wild owl cries

Dear Sir:

Being completely deaf myself, I read your report of the poor conditions of the deaf and mute (哑)who were gathering in New York begging. I supposed that it could not happen here in Australia.

However, two days later, I was having dinner in a restaurant in Sydney when a person entered and started handing out plastic jewellery (首饰) and a note to people at each table. The main idea of the note was, ‘I am unable to speak and hear in a world of voices and music. Would you kindly buy these things?’ When he came to my table, I questioned him in sign language. He was a little surprised. Then he said in a low voice ‘don’t talk’(which I could read from his lip movement)and moved away.

Please do not be taken in by those people. Please do not give them any money. They are neither deaf nor representative(代表) of the deaf. They make use of people’s pity and prejudice (偏见) (deaf people, in the main, can have proper education and get jobs just as those who can hear), and what they are doing will do harm to all that has been achieved by the deaf in the last 20 years-including putting this practice to an end.

Truly yours,.

John Williams

( )54. In ‘I supposed that it could not happen here in Australia,’ the writer most probably means that_________ in Australia.

( )55.The person selling plastic jewellery to people at each table ___________.

tried to express himself in sign language

couldn’t say anything in English

pretended to be deaf and mute

was from New York

( )56.The phrase ‘be taken in ‘ in the text means ’_____________’.

be invited

be surprised

be cheated

be hurt

( )57. The letter is most probably written to _________.

Mayor of Sydney

the restaurant

the deaf and mute

the newspaper

It is common knowledge that modern man prefers(偏爱) to use his right hand when doing anything requiring one hand. There are mainly two types of theories that try to explain the development of right hand preference in man. The first theory holds that the human body itself needs the preference of one hand over the other. The first theory holds that the human body itself needs the preference of one hand over the other. The second type of theory suggests that pressures from society or from the living conditions (or both) lead to the high increase of right hand preference in man. This theory is supported by human and animal studies that tried to change hand preferences.

Unfortunately, there are few written records throughout history which can prove those theories about hand preferences. There are ,however, other things which can be used to study this matter. Nearly all cultures (文化) have art forms showing human beings in various activities. We might expect that such drawings and paintings would tell us what the artist actually observed in his culture about hand use.

From a study of more than 5,000 years of art works, including 1,180 examples of paintings and drawings we know that in 93% of the cases the cases the right hand was used regardless of which period or which area was examined.

( )58. According to the text, some people believe that the right hand is often preferred because ______.

it is easier to hold things in the right hand

man’s knowledge of the world supports it

the right hand is stronger than the left

the human body has this special need

( )59. The second theory suggests that a number of people have developed right-handedness as a result of _______.

the studies they looked at

the research they did

the pressures they experienced

the art works they saw

( )60.A study of the art works has proved that ___________most people prefer to use the right hand when one hand is needed.

in 93% of the countries

in most historical periods

five thousand years ago

no matter when and where
