第三部分： 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，掌握其大意， 然后从各题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
A round of applause, please, for the Indian man who recently sang for 80 hours straight, setting a new Guinness world record. It’s an impressive feat, to be sure, but let’s just hope he still has a voice．According to Indian newspapers, Rajesh Burbure has been told to keep silent for several days so his vocal cords（声带）can heal．
It was reported that Burbure and his family are in a celebratory mood. “It’s a proud moment for all of us,” his wife told DNAIndia．com．
I, on the other hand, am unable to share their enthusiasm．Don’t get me wrong: I hope the 35-year-old Burbure lives forever, sells a million records and becomes an international celebrity．But his record—singing for 80 hours straight—is about as meaningful as most of the other curious but crazy feats listed in the Guinness Book of World Records．
