第三部分 阅读理解 （共20小题；每小题2分，满分 40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
For about a decade, I knew that I needed to improve my handwriting, but I always put it off. “My typing skills are good, my communication skills are good, and all my other abilities are adequate for the job I do and the life I live. Why would I need to improve my handwriting in such a modern world?” I thought.
I was sort of hit by the fact that my handwriting needed improving quite suddenly in the form of a note from my boss. Obviously one of the notes I had posted on the office message board had been misunderstood because of my handwriting. My boss demanded that I learn to write in a neat way, something I couldn’t ignore any longer.
I tried a lot of different methods to improve my handwriting. Nowadays, there are more resources than before. You don’t even have to go to the store and can buy handwriting training materials online. I tried out a lot of these, and my handwriting did improve somewhat. Now I make sure I form every letter correctly. This is inconvenient and time-consuming, but it is better than having my comments misread.
People come up to me and tell me how nice my handwriting is. I have never thought of that, but this is exactly what has happened. It really is a pleasure, but it isn’t enough. In the long run, I actually have to go to a handwriting coach to improve my handwriting. It seems like I have years and years of bad habits that I have to break, and this isn’t something I could handle on my own. I need someone to teach me how to write clearly from the ground up.
56. The underlined word “adequate” in the first paragraph probably means ______:
A. clear enough B. good enough C. common enough D. special enough
57. The writer made the decision to improve his handwriting because .
A. he had planned for that for a long time
B. he was shocked by his boss’ good handwriting
C. his boss asked him to work on his handwriting
D. he was often misunderstood because of his handwriting
58. How did the writer try to improve his handwriting?
A. He joined a handwriting training class.
B. He practiced writing and typing at the same time.
C. He practiced writing mainly on his own.
D. He employed a coach to teach him online.
59. What does the writer think of his handwriting at present?
A. Better. B. Perfect. C. Worse. D. Unacceptable.E
Nowadays, the increase in the prices of agricultural products is one of the greatest concerns of the people and the government. The government has announced a series of policies(政策) to prevent the prices from rising further. Rising housing prices is still a big concern for the people, but since farm products are needed every day, the increase in their prices has made life very difficult for them.
Many people may think the increase will help farmers. But have higher prices of farm products really benefited the farmers?
Take the increase in vegetable prices in the first half this year for example. Though natural disasters such as droughts and spring frost did not cause increase at all—vegetables have become as much as 20 percent compared to that of last year. This means only a small part (or even none )of the extra money that city people have paid to buy farm products has gone to the farmers. The extra cost actually has gone to middlemen.
As the fact shows, just increasing prices of farm products will have negative influence on the entire economy. On one hand, the price increase has created some abnormal phenomena(现象), which hurts farmers’ interests. On the other hand, resources(资源；物力) will enter the agriculture because of the high price of farm products, which would finally create negative effect on the whole economy.
In such a case, it would be better to leave the market to decide the prices instead of raising farm products’ prices to protect the interests of farmers. Actually, such a way will be better for farmers in the long run.
72. What does the author mainly want to tell us by writing the passage?
A. Farmers benefit a lot from the price increase.
B. Price increase has not helped farmers.
C. We should be sorry for farmers.
D. Price increase has a bad effect on economy.
73. Many people think the increase in the prices of farm products benefits ______ .
A. nobody B. the country C. middlemen D. farmers
74. The following statements are true EXCEPT ______ .
A. the government has done something to prevent the prices from rising further
B. it is better for farmers to leave the market to decide the prices in the long run
C. natural disasters did not cause the prices of farm products to increase greatly
D. rising housing prices has made life very difficult for people
75. What is probably the author’s attitude to raising the farm products’ prices?
A. Negative. B. Indifferent.(漠不关心的)
C. Enthusiastic. D. Positive.
