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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Thirty years ago not many people would have dreamed of doing the repairs and decorations in their own homes. In those days labor was fairly cheap and most people would have thought it worthwhile to employ a professional painter and decorator, unless of course they were either very hand up or were in the trade themselves. Today, however, it is quite a different story. Men and women in all walks of life turn their hands to all sorts of jobs round the house including painting, papering, putting up shelves and wall units, and tiling walls and floors. Some people with no professional training of any kind have even successfully built their own houses. These jobs have been made easier today by the introduction of prepared materials, which require the minimum amount of skill to use. In every high street through out Britain nowadays there is at least one “Do-it-Yourself” shop containing a vast range of timber, tiles, paints, wallpapers and floor coverings besides tools of every description including power drills and many accessories. “Do-it-Yourself” is a booming business; all these shops do a roaring trade and look like continuing to do so. Probably the main reason for the craze is the high cost of present-day labor and the shortage of building firms willing to do small jobs.
61. Why did people employ professional workers to decorate homes thirty years ago?
 A. Because it’s worthwhile to employ a professional worker considering the working skill.
B. Because people just need to spend little money to finish the work.
C. Because people were too busy to work by themselves.
D. Because people were not in the trade themselves.
62. Which statements are true according to the passage?
A. Thirty years ago people never did the decorations by themselves.
　 B. People with no professional training can not successfully build their own houses.
C. You can buy all materials and tools you want in the Do-it-yourself shop.
　 D. The prepared materials need no skills at all.
63. What caused the DIY craze?
A. It’s a fashion nowadays.    B. “Do-it-Yourself” is a booming business.
　 C. A lack of building companies.   D. High cost of professional workers.
64. What’s the main idea of the passage?
　 A. How DIY comes into being.   B. Changes in building.
　 C. Changes in housing.     D. Great changes in these thirty years.
B
The traditional English breakfast—tea, toast, marmalade, eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.—is both good and filling, and breakfast is the only aspect of English cooking that is frequently and enthusiastically praised by foreigners. Few of the English eat this regularly. The upper-middle and upper classes drink weak, dishwater-colored, unsweetened tea. Taking tea with sugar is regarded by many as an infallible lower class indicator. Putting the milk into the cup first is also a lower-class habit. Toast is a breakfast staple, and an all-purpose, anytime comfort food. Margarine is regarded as decidedly “common” by the middle and upper classes, who use butter.
    The English do not take the middle-of-the-day meal at all seriously: most make do with a sandwich or some other quick, easy, single-dish meal. The timing of lunch is not a class indicator, as almost everyone has lunch at around one o’clock. The only class indicator is what you call this meal: if you call it “dinner”, you are working class; everyone else, flora the lower-middles upwards, calls it “lunch”.
    The evening meal is a clear class indicator: if you call it “tea” and eat it at around half past six, you are almost working class or of working- class origin. If you call it “dinner”, and eat it at around seven, you are probably lower-middle or middle-middle. If you normally only use the terra ”dinner” for rather more formal evening meals, and call your informal, family evening meal ”supper” you are probably upper-middle or upper class. The timing of these meals tends to be more flexible, but a family supper is generally eaten at around half- past seven, while a dinner would usually be later, from half past eight onwards.
    To everyone but the working classes, “tea” is a light meal taken at around four in the afternoon, and consists of tea(the drink) with cakes, scones, jam, biscuits and perhaps a little sandwiches—traditionally including cucumber sandwiches—with the crusts cut off. The working classes call this afternoon tea, to distinguish it from the evening tea that the rest call supper or dinner.
65. What is the best title for the passage?
A. British Eating Manners
B. British Meals of A Day
C. British Foods
D. British Dinner
66. The following can serve as a class indicator EXCEPT____________.
A. calling the middle-of-the-day meal dinner 
B. calling the evening meal tea
C. drinking weak, dishwater-colored, unsweetened tea 
D. having lunch at around one o’clock
67. You will probably belong to upper class if you  ____________.
A. call “tea” “afternoon tea”
B. call informal family evening meal “supper”
C. put milk into a cup of tea
D. call the middle-of-the-day meal “dinner”
68. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. Food is no more than what we eat and can be filling.
B. Different countries have different ways of eating.
C. Eating habits can reflect people’s social status in a way.
 D. Not all meals are taken seriously by people.
