    第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
    第一节：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。
    The other day, I bought six packages of ink for my printer, then I found a deal on better ink at the local computer store, so I went back to the $1 Store to exchange the ink for some other items.
    I put the ink into a plastic bag and tied it up. When at the store, I immediately showed the bag to a clerk and told her that I was returning some items, but she was obviously very busy. Then without thinking much, I just put the bag into a cart and started shopping.
    I was making my way through the crowd when a female employee suddenly yelled to stop me. I was told not to be allowed to carry a plastic bag of items around in the store and my bag should be checked.
    I was astonished. There was no need for her to yell. I opened the bag and showed her the receipt. “I’m returning these to exchange for some other items,” I said.
    “You should learn how to follow store regulations. Leave this bag here with the clerk. You can have it back when you check out”.
    I was embarrassed and did as told to. I felt like a shoplifter. By the time I had finished shopping and exchanged the items, I was angry and then went looking for her. I wanted an apology. I found her finally and asked what her name was. She yelled at me again, “Ursula!” and stormed away.
    Having got home, I called the store’s headquarters. I described my unpleasant experience. A customer service representative responded, “We will not tolerate such behavior. Give me your phone number and I will call you back.”
    Two days later, I received a phone call from the representative, “I’m sorry,” she said, “but there is no one at that store named Ursula. Can you describe her? I’ll find out who she is. We do not tolerate rude behavior, nor do we tolerate lying to customers.”
    By this time, I had calmed down, so I told the representative to forget about it.
    41.The author wanted to exchange the ink for some other items because he found _______.
    the ink was too expensive                   
    he didn’t need so many packages
    it could not match his printer       
    there was better ink in another store
    42.It can be inferred that _______.
    the $1 Store had a very good business
    the $1 Store sold items of poor quality
    the clerks in the $1 Store were impolite
    check-out items couldn’t be exchanged
    43. Which of the following is the right order according to the story?
    I found I was cheated.
    I left the plastic bag with the clerk.
    I finished shopping and exchanged the items
    A female employee stopped me and yelled at me
    I called the store’s headquarters
    A. d, a, c, b, e    B. b, c, d, e, a        C. d, b, c, e, a     D. c, b, d, a, e
    44. At the end of the story, _______.
    A. the female employee apologized to me
    B. Ursula was found out and lost her job
    C. the representative forgot the matter

    Do you ever run out of great books to read? So what should I read next? Is fast-paced crime fiction your thing? Try the new Patricia Cornwell book, Scarpetta (Putnam). She is such an able writer and handles complex forensic(法庭的) intelligence with ease. You need to be prepared, though, for the world you're entering—this isn't for the faint of heart, let's say.
    If peace is more your thing, try Mary Pipher's wonderful new book, Seeking Peace:Chronicles of the Worst Buddhist in the World (Riverhead). Mary is a lovely, comfortable writer who takes the reader through her personal awakening after reputation and fortune came her way. Even if you've never experienced life as a bestselling writer (as she has done, in her book years back, Reviving Ophelia), you'll totally understand and sympathize with her renewed need for privacy, distance and quiet.
    What if you want a straightforward, totally thrilling read with vivid characters, set about World War II? You cannot go wrong with Jim Lehrer's new novel, Oh, Johnny (Random House), about a young Marine whose life is changed forever when he meets a woman on his way to war. His relationship with her lasts him through danger and hardship, and there's an impressive ending. See our interview with the productive novelist/newsman in the current issue of Reader's Digest (March, on stands now), by the way, for insight into the very talented Mr. Lehrer and what interests him.
    Well, what about something wickedly funny and totally offbeat? Does the name Carrie Fisher do anything for you? Try her vivid and new life in Hollywood and elsewhere, Wishful Drinking (Simon & Schuster). Be prepared for humor as sharp as knives.

    I used to believe in the American dream that meant a job, credit, success．I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us separately chasing the same thing．
    One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell apart．I found myself homeless and alone．I had my truck and $56．I searched the countryside for some place I could rent for the cheapest possible amount．I came upon a deserted cottage in a small remote valley．I hadn't been alone for 25 years．I was scared, but I hoped the hard work would distract and heal me．
    I found the owner and rented the place for $50 a month．The locals knew nothing about me．But slowly they started teaching me the art of being a neighbor．They dropped off blankets, tools and canned deer meat and began sticking around to chat．They would ask if I wanted to meet cousin Albie or go fishing．They started to teach me a belief in a different American dream, not the one of individual achievement but of neighborliness．Men would stop by with wild berries, ice cream, truck parts to see if I was up for courting．I wasn't, but they were civil anyway．The women on that mountain worked harder than any I'd ever met．They taught me how to store food in the stream and keep it cold and safe．I learned to keep enough for an extra plate for company．
    What I had believed in, all those things I thought were necessary for a civilized life, were non-existent in this place．Up on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my relationships with my neighbors．

    The American dream I believe in now is a shared one．It's not so much about what I can get for myself; it's about how we can all get by together．

    Pressure too much?
    In our daily life we are used to hearing these words, “I can't wait for my holiday,” “I wish I could stay home today” And “I'm very tired.” These words come from pressure at work. Now the “iron rice bowl”(铁饭碗) is being broken into pieces. Workers may be fired if they don’t perform their duties well. They have to do their jobs better.
    People feel pressure not only because they might find themselves out of work but also because they get no real pleasure from their work. For most of the workers, work is just a way of earning money. It appears to be meaningless and worthless.
    But pressure is a natural part of work. There is no way to keep away from it. We should face up to it.
    Work should be a cause of happiness and pride rather than a punishment or a burden .In fact, a certain amount of pressure can provide challenge and chance for learning. To a modern man who is worried and low in spirit, developing a hobby and finding a new interest is of first importance. I like listening to pop music, which makes me calm and gives me pleasure.
    If pressure becomes difficult to deal with, we should turn to our friends or families. We can have a drink with our friends and talk about the problem. We should always discuss our problems with our families. Good advice, warmth and happiness that families bring to us can reduce our pressure and encourage us to smooth away all difficulties.
    小题1:Peopel feel pressure at work mainly because ______.
    A．they will lose their jobs
    B．most of them find less interest in their work
    C．they can make more money after work.
    D．they want to stay at home.
    小题2:Which of the following is WRONG in the writer’s opinion?
    A．Where there is work there is pressure.
    B．Work shouldn’t be regarded as punishment or burden.
    C．All modern men are worried and low in spirit.
    D．A certain amount of pressure is necessary.
    小题3:From the text we can know that when pressure is too big, ________.
    A．we should drink coffee with our friends
    B．we can get help and comfort from our friends or families.
    C．we can go home because it is warm
    D．to talk out the problem to our friends and families is the best way.

    Certainly people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you’ve known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.
    How is it done? Here are several skills (技巧) that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they will help you put people at ease, and make friends with them quickly.
    First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy they are, will answer a question. One well-known businessman says. “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did this morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters sometimes to really personal questions. And how they answer will let you know how far you can go.
    Second, once good talkers have asked questions they listen for the answer. This point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively (专心地).
    Real listening means certain things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation (对话). If someone sticks to (坚持) one topic (话题), you can take it as a fact that he’ll be really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones (语调) of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.
    Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion (场合) of parting. If you’re saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.
    64. You’ll like to stay with certain people because ________.
    A. they know how to get along with others  
    B. you can often get much help from them
    C. they are always glad to do anything for you
    D. they will never get you into trouble
    65. Asking questions might be quite a good way ________.
    A. for you to make more and more new friends
    B. to begin your business talks
    C. to get the conversation going well
    D. for you to make a deep and lasting impression (印象) on others
    66. After having asked somebody a question, it’ll be polite of you to ________.
    A. make clear what kink of person he is
    B. listen to his answer attentively
    C. wait quietly and patiently for his answer
    D. talk with others
    67. Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who ________.
    A. are good at making any topic interesting  
    B. never talk too much or too little
    C. always speak in a gentle way
    D. know how and when they should change the topic of the talk

    Many older brothers and sisters have an irritating (恼人的) tendency to take charge, a habit   21   while growing up. We can easily see this pattern in Martha, the older sister of Mary and Lazarus. She had a strong   22   to do everything exactly right and was   23  to being in control.
    The fact that Martha, Mary, and Lazarus are remembered for their hospitality takes on added significance when we note that hospitality was a social requirement in their culture. It was considered   24   to turn anyone away from your door.   25  Martha’s family met this requirement very well.
    Martha worried about details. She wished to   26  , to serve, to do the right thing, but she often succeeded in making everyone around her uncomfortable.

    I will be traveling to Australia as a Student Ambassador with People to People. People to People arranges for American students to travel all around the world to learn about other cultures, and to help others understand American culture. The program was founded by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower to promote peace through understanding.
    I had to put in many hours of special work to get to this point. First, a teacher nominated (推荐) me, and then I attended an informational meeting about the program. The application process included an interview, and finally, I was accepted.
    That’s when the hard work really began. In addition to attending monthly meetings to prepare for the big trip, my parents encouraged my twin sister Beth (also participating in the program) and me to raise $ 2,000 each to help pay for the cost. And so the fund-raising began. We did everything from selling candy bars to selling an old car to decorating people’s mailboxes during the holiday season. We also babysat, washed cars, held a yard sale, and washed windows. After months of hard work I had raised a total of $2319.87! Combined, Beth and I raised over $ 4500.00!
    Now I have a problem-packing. Yes, I know it sounds unimportant, but my suitcase seems to have shrunk (收缩) as I placed my belongings inside. According to airline regulations (规定), a suitcase can be no larger than 54 inches and weigh no more than 44 pounds. For a person who likes to wear a different outfit every day, packing all my clothes into such a small space seemed an impossible task. However, I have lessened my load and my suitcase which started out weighting overweight now checks in at a mere 36. Apart from a slightly bloated (臃肿) carry-on bag, my luggage is definitely manageable.
    I doubt that I will not get much sleep tonight because I am so excited! I know that what lies ahead is going to be the trip of lifetime!
    小题1:When does the author write the passage?
    A．Before leaving for Australia.B．Several months before the journey.
    C．Just hours after reaching the destination.D．The night when she was accepted.
    小题2:Which of the following is not the aim of People to People program?
    A．To promote peace through understanding.B．To collect money for traveling.
    C．To make American culture known to others.D．To learn about other cultures.
    小题3:Which is the correct order of the author’ preparation for the journey?
    a. being accepted as a member
    b. raising money for the trip
    c. attending a meeting about the program
    d. packing belongings
    e. being nominated by the teacher
    A．e, a, b, c, dB．a, c, e, d, bC．e, c, a, d, bD．e, c, a, b, d
    小题4:What does the author think of the journey?
    A．It could be a tiring expensive journey.
    B．It could be long-lasting journey, which needs taking all daily necessities.
    C．It could be an exciting, unforgettable journey.
    D．It could be an overseas journey, during which she would experience hard labor.

    One factor that can influence consumers is their mood(情绪) state. Mood may be described ____21____ a temporary and mild positive or negative feeling that is generalized and not tied to any particular circumstance. Moods should be ____22____ from feelings which are usually much more stronger ____23____ to specific circumstances, and often conscious. In one sense, the effect of a consumer’s mood can be thought of in ____24____ the same way as our reactions to the ____25____ of our friends — when our friends are happy and “up”, that tends to influence us positively, but when they are “down”, that can have a negative impact on us. ____26____, consumers operating under a given mood state tend to react to stimuli(刺激因素) in a direction consistent with that mood state. Thus, for example, we should expect to see consumers in a positive mood state evaluate products in more of a ____27____ manner than they would when not in such a state. Moreover, mood states appear able to enhance(增强) a consumer’s memory.
    Moods appear to be readily influenced by marketing ____28____. For example, the rhythm(节奏), pitch, and volume of music has been shown to influence behavior such as ____29____ of time spent in supermarkets or intention to purchase products.

    For photographers lacking training, experience and even the ability to click a shutter button, they produce remarkable pictures. Under the sea, deep in the woods and high in the sky, furry, feathery and leathery-skinned creatures are opening up vistas（远景）by taking cameras where no human can go.
    This is the world of animal-borne imagine celebrated last month at a conference sponsored(supported) by the National Geographic Society for the 20th anniversary of its Crittercam, the device that started it all.
    Since its debut（首次公开露面）in 1987 on the back of a turtle, the Crittercam and similar devices developed by others have grown smaller and more powerful.
    “It’s more than just a camera now,” said Greg Marshall, the marine biologist and now filmmaker who invented the Crittercam. “We are now including more instruments to gather more data while at the same time reducing everything in size.”
    The idea of attaching video cameras to animals came to Mr. Marshall in 1986 on a dive off Belize when a shark apporached him. When the animal quickly turned away, he noticed a shark with a sucker fish on its belly. He came up with the idea that putting a camera in place of the sucker fish would allow people to witness the shark’s behavior without disturbing it.
    Crittercams have been attached to sharks, sea lions and other marine animals, and, more recently, to land animals.
    Birds are a new addition, Mr. Marshall said. Dr. Christian Rutz of Oxford recently reported on tiny cameras called feathercams that monitor the crows in the South Pacific. It has discovered that crows are smarter than anyone knew they not only use twigs（嫩枝）and grass stems as tools to root out food, but they also save their favorite tools to use again.
    Tracey L. Rogers, director of the Australian Marine Mammal Research Center in Sydney, said crittercam was a powerful tool in her work with leopard seals（豹斑海豹）in Antarctica. “In studying animals,” Dr. Rogers said at the meeting, “you want to see how our animal models align（与……一致）with reality. With a camera, you actually see what they do. You don’t have to guess.”
    64.What’s the text mainly about?
    A. The advantages of crittercam.
    B. The development of Crittercams in the past 20 years.
    C. How crittercam was invented.
    D. How crittercam works.
    65.What inspired Marshall to invent crittercam?
    A. The sight of sucker fish clinging to a shark on a dive.
    B. The thought of how to photograph animals better.
    C. Noticing a shark eating a sucker fish on a dive.
    D. Seeing a shark with a camera on its belly on a dive.
    66.According to Dr. Rogers, crittercam ____.
    A. can clear up all your doubts about animals
    B. is the most powerful tool in studying animals
    C. enabled her to observe the crows in the South Pacific closely
    D. helped a lot with her research on leopard seals in Antarctica
    67.All of the following are improvements of crittercams EXCEPT that ____.
    A. the size is becoming smaller
    B. more instruments are involved to gather more data
    C. they allow researchers to see where and how animals live
    D. they are able to be applied to smaller animals such as birds
