第三部分 阅读理解（共10小题，每小题2分；满分20分）
                                        A.
    Once upon a time there was a wise man who used to go to the sea to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down at the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?’’
    The young man paused, looked up and replied, “ Throwing starfishes(海星)in the ocean.”
   “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfishes in the ocean?”
   “The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in they’ll die”
   “But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfishes all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”
The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, and said, “ It made a difference for that one.”There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our vision the power(力量) to shape the future.
We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.

   A. dancing along the beach      B. walking with a dancer
   C. picking up starfish for sale    D. trying to save as many starfishes as possible
57. The underlined words “ something very special” refers to ________. 
   A. the gifts from friends      B. the strength of making decision
   C. our own starfish          D. the ability to make a difference

   A. the wise man realized something new and important
   B. the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfishes in the ocean.
   C. the young man had the ability to make a difference
   D. it is necessary for us to save starfish on the beach
59. The writer told this story to show us ________.

  C. wise man are sometimes stupid         D. young man are in fact wiser than old people            
B.
Tomorrow was his girlfriend’s birthday and the young man was having a difficult time deciding on a present for her. She already had more clothes than she knew what to do with them, so he couldn’t get any kind of apparel. She never ate sweets, so candy was out of the question. What then? He had a very special reason for wanting to impress her with just the right gift; tomorrow he was going to make an offer of marriage to her. He finally decided on perfume(香水). All girls liked perfume. That raised another problem, however. What kind did she prefer? He couldn’t ask her because that would ruin the surprise.
At last the young man hit upon a brilliant idea. That afternoon, pretending to take his girlfriend’s fox terrier, little dog for a walk, the young man and the dog went directly to the perfume counter of the town’s biggest department store. Good! There was a large array(长列)of perfume. He beckoned(招呼)a clerk, instructing her to open a large number of bottles and wave the stoppers under the dog’s nose. Nestled in the young man’s arms, the terrier began to be restless and bored as this seemingly pointless game went on. Then Fritz suddenly became frisky, wiggling in the young man’s arms and barking excitedly, as the clerk waved one stopper under its nose.
“I’ll take that one,” said the young man to the clerk. The price was high, but it was worth it, he thought.
“ My favorite perfume!” said the delighted girl the next evening as she unwrapped the package. “ How did you know?” she asked, dabbing some perfume behind each ear.
“ Intuition(直觉), I guess.” Said the young man, deciding that it wasn’t exactly wrong to tell a lie under the circumstances. One day, after they were married, he would admit that his intuition had really been a little dog named Fritz.
60. Which of the following words best describes the young man in the story?
A. Kind-hearted    B. Curious   C. Creative  D. Mean
61. The underlined word “ frisky” (in Paragraph 4) means “_______”>
A. lively   B. angry   C. uneasy   D. puzzled
62. According to the story, the birthday present for the girl was actually decided on by_______.
    A. the young man  B. the store clerk  C. the man’s intuition  D. the dog Fritz
63. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the story?
    A. The young man wanted to give his girlfriend a pleasant surprise.
B. The pet dog Fritz knew what the young man wanted very well.
C. The kind of perfume the young man chose was expensive.
D. The young man told a white lie about his final choice of the perfume.
