阅读理解 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。 A My wife and I spent two weeks in London last year. We went there in the autumn. We think it is the best season to visit England. The weather is usually quite good and there are not too many travelers in October. We stayed in a hotel in the West End. It was convenient（便利的）as we did most of our sightseeing on foot. Taxis were too expensive; we could not understand the bus routes（路径）, and my wife did not like traveling on the underground. She said it made her feel shut in. We went to look at the places which all travelers see. We saw Buckingham Palace, National Gallery（美术馆）and Piccadily Circus. We went shopping in Oxford Street and spent too much money. What we liked most was going to the theatre. We do not have the chance to see such wonderful plays at home. A lot of people say English food is very bad. We didn’t think so. It is true that most of the restaurants are French or Italian or Chinese, so we had some very good meals. In fact, we enjoyed our holiday so much that we have already booked（预定）again for this year. We are going to take our umbrellas though. I am sure we will need them sometimes. 46.

B Going back as far as I can remember as a child in an Indian area, I had no senses of knowing about the other people around me except that we were all somehow equal. There was only one class. Nobody was interested in getting on top of anybody else.You could see it in our games. Nobody organized them. They were not any competitive sports. But we took part in lots of activities and we were organized, but not in the sense that there were wars of finding out who had won and who had lost. We played balls like everyone else, but no one kept scores. Even if we did formally take part in the games we played, no one was a winner though someone may have won. It was only at that moment. If you beat someone by pulling a bow and arrow and shooting the arrow further, it did not mean you were better in any way. It just meant at the particular time the arrow went further; maybe it was just the way you let the bow go. These kinds of things are very important to me and that is why I am talking about them. One of the very important things was the relationship we had with our families. We did not always live at home. We lived wherever we happened to be at that particular time when it got dark.

A. all the people were kind and equal in different activities B. all the people quarreled（争吵）with each other in every fighting C. people often took part in different fightings D. every child tried to climb the top of all the activities 52.

C Everyone would like to be a millionaire , a person with a lot of money, but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially (经济上) all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It’s a tiring schedule(时间表) but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生观) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.
