Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.

You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. There are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear. For thousands of years, people in different parts of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this. One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion. The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton (棉), silk, wool, or many other man-made materials. Most people in China wear cotton. The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living in India can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs. World-wide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim (帽檐) up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.

Many years ago in Labuan there were only two people who were from Europe, the Citizen and Medical Officer, and both had been made magistrates—officials who acted as judges in the lowest courts, having the power to sentence wrongdoers. It happened that they did not like each other, but had to work together. One day they went on their bicycles to carry out an inspection and returned to the main village after dark. A policeman, who did not recognize them at first, stopped them for riding bicycles without light. The next day, the case came before the court with the Citizen as the judge. The doctor said that he was wrong and the Citizen, saying that he had to give the wrongdoer a fine but did not consider the matter serious since such a case was the first of its kind in Lubuan, fined the doctor 50 cents. The doctor then took the Citizen's place as Magistrate. Instead of doing the same as the Citizen had done, he looked very serious and said, "this sort of thing is getting too common. Why, this is the second case to come before the court this morning! I feel that I must make an example. Fine $10". That was the fine the Citizen had to pay.

A.is in charge of bicycles
B.judges cases in the lowest courts of law

B.a few
C.many
D.no

D
[解析] 第二段第四句“...since such a case was the first of its kind in Lubuan”说明以前没有发生过这类案子,所以D是正确答案。

Dear Sir, I must write through your column to thank the gentleman who very kindly helped me and my family a few nights ago. It was raining heavily at the time and my car had broken down along a lonely stretch outside the city. It was also very dark. I tried to repair the car myself but could not find out what was wrong with the engine. By then I was completely wet. I was shivering with cold when a young man stopped his car to help. He drove my family home first and later came back with a mechanic. He did not leave until the mechanic restarted my car and I was on my way home again. It was then that I found out I did not even know his name. Thank you, young man, whoever and wherever you are.
Yours faithfully, Chen Yuan

1. In Britain it is common to be invited to someone's home rather than to a restaurant.
