三、阅读理解(共30分)

In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants. Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.
It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment(公寓房间) in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series(系列) of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses’ because ‘Jones’ is a very common name in the United States.” Keeping up with the Joneses’ came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Jonses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
36. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ________.
A. want to be as rich as their neighbours B. want others to know or to think that they are rich
C. don’t want others to know they are rich D. want to be happy

A. a person who lives near another B. people living in an area

A. an important name B. a popular name in the United States
C. his neighbour’s name D. not a good name
40. According to the writer, it is ________ to keep up with the Joneses.
A. correct B. interesting C. impossible D. good
【答案】36. B37. A38. C39. B40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了美国社会存在的一个现象，keeping up with the Joneses“跟邻居比阔气”。人们都追富，都想按照富人的做法来置办自己的东西，住在富人居住的地方。但是作者认为Mr Jones总是领先，所以要想追上Jones是不可能的。

When buying things online, people may listen to influencers. However, influencers may not say what they really think about the products that they sell.
France recently passed a law about influencers. Influencers need to let people know that they are selling things. They must not sell cigarettes or alcohol. As for make-up, they can use a filter to make the products look better only if they let viewers know. Also, they shouldn’t ask people to take part in betting.
According to a report, over 42 million consumers in France purchase goods or services online. This law is to protect both influencers and consumers on social networks, especially about advertising contents and child labor.
There are about 150,000 influencers in France affected by the law. If an influencer breaks the law, then he or she can end up in prison for up to two years. Also, he or she may face a fine of up to 300,000 euros (about 2,300,000 yuan).
France is the first European country to have such a law. It wants to stop influencers from cheating and protect people who use the Internet, especially the younger ones, according to French lawmaker Stephane Vojetta.
“It is a field in which we believe in because it creates jobs and because it values French culture and creativity,” said Bruno Le Maire, the French economy minister, describing the influencer economy at a press conference in March.
“The best way to protect it is to make a framework and rules so that in this area, there are no profiteers or people who can take advantage of the weakness of certain consumers,” Bruno Le Maire said.
41. What CAN influencers sell online according to the passage
A. Cigarettes. B. Alcohol.
C. Sports lotteries. D. Food and fruit.
42. The underlined word “purchase” here means “________”.
A. buy B. find C. make D. change
43. One euro is about ________ yuan according to the passage.
A. 10 B. 7.7 C. 6.6 D. 5
44. Why does France have such a law
A. To stop young people from using the Internet.
B. To protect people who use the Internet.
C. To make people buy things in a real shop.
D. To stop influencers from becoming richer.
45. What’s the best title for the passage
A. France’s new influencer law B. Ways of using the Internet
C. Buying online in France D. Advertising contents online

If you step into a bookstore, you might notice shelves labeled “self-help” that are filled with rows of books. Self-help books are typically written by famous people and psychologists. They teach you how to deal with problems in your life—for example, how to get along with your classmates or co-workers, how to manage your time well and how to find happiness.
Paul Sweetman, the owner of City Books in the UK, said the current political climate might be one reason why more people are reading self-help books. During the past few years, the world has seen terrorist attacks, trade wars and women’s rights movements, such as MeToo.
“People come into the shop and they’re really tired about things. They’re looking for reassurance and peace of mind,” Sweetman told The Guardian.
In addition, younger readers—such as millennials or people born after the 1980s—tend to be more aware of their own faults, according to the US psychologist Caroline Beaton. This means they’re more likely to try to improve themselves by reading self-help books.
“Self-help books used to be something people laughed at. Many people didn’t take ‘chicken soup’ stories or ‘success theory’ books seriously. But now they’re more respected and as good to read as any novel,” Sweetman said.
Whatever the reason for the growing interest in self-help books might be, it’s good to know that help is at hand if we need it. But are these books really helpful Read one and find out.
46. “Self-help” books might help readers with ________.
A. how to lose weight B. how to decorate houses
C. how to deal with bad moods D. how to do business
47. Why do people need self-help books according to Sweetman
A. Because they can’t make decisions. B. Because no others can help them.
C. Because they suffer from mental illness. D. Because they live stressful lives.
48. The underlined word “reassurance” probably means “________”.
A. comfort B. medicine C. rule D. competition
49. What can we learn from Paragraph 5
A. Few people like self-help books now.
B. Self-help books used to be less popular.
C. People think self-help books are as interesting as novels.
D. People doubt whether self-help books can really help them.
50. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. why self-help books get popular now B. how people live under pressure
C. what people expect from self-help books D. how to help ourselves and others
【答案】46. C47. D48. A49. B50. A

In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants. Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.
It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment(公寓房间) in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series(系列) of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses’ because ‘Jones’ is a very common name in the United States.” Keeping up with the Joneses’ came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Jonses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
36. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ________.
A. want to be as rich as their neighbours B. want others to know or to think that they are rich
C. don’t want others to know they are rich D. want to be happy

A. live outside New York City B. live in New York City

38. The underlined word neighbourhood in the second paragraph means ________.
A. a person who lives near another B. people living in an area
C. an area near the place referred to D. an area in another town or city
39. Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is ________.
A. an important name B. a popular name in the United States
C. his neighbour’s name D. not a good name
40. According to the writer, it is ________ to keep up with the Joneses.
A. correct B. interesting C. impossible D. good
B
When buying things online, people may listen to influencers. However, influencers may not say what they really think about the products that they sell.
France recently passed a law about influencers. Influencers need to let people know that they are selling things. They must not sell cigarettes or alcohol. As for make-up, they can use a filter to make the products look better only if they let viewers know. Also, they shouldn’t ask people to take part in betting.
According to a report, over 42 million consumers in France purchase goods or services online. This law is to protect both influencers and consumers on social networks, especially about advertising contents and child labor.
There are about 150,000 influencers in France affected by the law. If an influencer breaks the law, then he or she can end up in prison for up to two years. Also, he or she may face a fine of up to 300,000 euros (about 2,300,000 yuan).
France is the first European country to have such a law. It wants to stop influencers from cheating and protect people who use the Internet, especially the younger ones, according to French lawmaker Stephane Vojetta.
“It is a field in which we believe in because it creates jobs and because it values French culture and creativity,” said Bruno Le Maire, the French economy minister, describing the influencer economy at a press conference in March.
“The best way to protect it is to make a framework and rules so that in this area, there are no profiteers or people who can take advantage of the weakness of certain consumers,” Bruno Le Maire said.
41. What CAN influencers sell online according to the passage
A. Cigarettes. B. Alcohol.
C. Sports lotteries. D. Food and fruit.
42. The underlined word “purchase” here means “________”.
A. buy B. find C. make D. change
43. One euro is about ________ yuan according to the passage.
A. 10 B. 7.7 C. 6.6 D. 5
44. Why does France have such a law
A. To stop young people from using the Internet.
B. To protect people who use the Internet.
C. To make people buy things in a real shop.
D. To stop influencers from becoming richer.
45. What’s the best title for the passage
A. France’s new influencer law B. Ways of using the Internet
C. Buying online in France D. Advertising contents online

If you step into a bookstore, you might notice shelves labeled “self-help” that are filled with rows of books. Self-help books are typically written by famous people and psychologists. They teach you how to deal with problems in your life—for example, how to get along with your classmates or co-workers, how to manage your time well and how to find happiness.
Paul Sweetman, the owner of City Books in the UK, said the current political climate might be one reason why more people are reading self-help books. During the past few years, the world has seen terrorist attacks, trade wars and women’s rights movements, such as MeToo.
“People come into the shop and they’re really tired about things. They’re looking for reassurance and peace of mind,” Sweetman told The Guardian.
In addition, younger readers—such as millennials or people born after the 1980s—tend to be more aware of their own faults, according to the US psychologist Caroline Beaton. This means they’re more likely to try to improve themselves by reading self-help books.
“Self-help books used to be something people laughed at. Many people didn’t take ‘chicken soup’ stories or ‘success theory’ books seriously. But now they’re more respected and as good to read as any novel,” Sweetman said.
Whatever the reason for the growing interest in self-help books might be it’s good to know that help is at hand if we need it. But are these books really helpful Read one and find out.
46. “Self-help” books might help readers with ________.
A. how to lose weight B. how to decorate houses
C. how to deal with bad moods D. how to do business
47. Why do people need self-help books according to Sweetman
A. Because they can’t make decisions. B. Because no others can help them.
C. Because they suffer from mental illness. D. Because they live stressful lives.
48. The underlined word “reassurance” probably means “________”.
A. comfort B. medicine C. rule D. competition
49. What can we learn from Paragraph 5
A. Few people like self-help books now.
B. Self-help books used to be less popular.
C. People think self-help books are as interesting as novels.
