Even though I was used to regular insults（侮辱）because of the 41 on my head, it was 42 horrible to hear. I sighed as I headed back to the class.

27、eC. tiredD. proud第四节：阅读理解（满分40分）AChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, Ive found the opposite is true. There are

28、millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, its the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors-silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.Its fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move

29、skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just cant provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat

30、and started home.My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didnt want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing

31、a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed

32、by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.61. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.C. Because they are colorful and available.D. Because they are fast and environment frien

33、dly.62. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended _.A. to ride it for funB. to use it for transportC. to experience local skillsD. to improve his riding skills63. How did the author feel about his street crossing?A. It was boring.B. It was difficult. C. It was lively.D. It was wonderfu

34、l.64. Which of the following best describes the authors biking experience?A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author took great pleasure in biking.BAccording to sociologists, every

35、modern industrial society has some form of social stratification（阶层）. Class, power and status are important in deciding peoples rank in society. Class means a persons economic position in society. A commonly used classification is lower class, middle class and upper class. While sociologists disagre

36、e on how these terms should be exactly defined, they do describe societies like the United States quite well. One study shows that 53% of Americans belong to the lower class, 46% the middle class, and 1% the upper class. Interestingly, a surgeon earning 500,000 a year and a bus driver earning 50,000

37、 a year both regard themselves as the middle class! Power refers to the amount of control a person has over other people. Obviously, people in positions of great power (such as governors) exercise（行使）big power, but people who take orders from others have less power. Power and class do not always go

38、hand in hand, however. For example, the governor of a state has great power, but he or she may not belong to a corresponding （相应的）economic class. Generally, however, there is a relationship between power and class. To our knowledge, there arent too many people who arent millionaires in the U.S. Sena

39、te!Status is the honor or respect attached to a persons position in society. It can also be affected by power and class, but not necessarily so. For example, a university professor may have a high status but not belong to a high social class or have a lot of power over others.65. What can we learn a

40、bout “the middle class” from Paragraph 2?A. People earning 50,000 a year belong to the middle class.B. Nearly half Americans belong to the middle class.C. People generally consider bus drivers as the middle class.D. Sociologists have a clear definition of the middle class.66. According to the text,

41、we know that _.A. power and class do not always correspond with each otherB. status refers to a persons economic position in societyC. people with high status have a lot of control over othersD. class is less important in deciding a persons social rank67.

53、e campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Denniss Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jacks dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the ho

54、t coals. “How did this place get its name ? ”“Are you sure you want to hear it ? Its a scary story,” warned Jack.“Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldnt have chosen this place!”“Ok, but dont say I didnt warn you,” said Jack, and he began this tale.“Way back in time, a man calle
