         When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously (同时的) about a
    variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what's happening in their lives. When groups of
    men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can
    either talk or watch the screen-they can't do both-and they don't understand that women can. Besides,
    women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships-not
    just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.
         During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship
    between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that
    reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other
    women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to
    maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships
    and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.
         Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but
    a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend
    and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.
         There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked them more,
    is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behavior and
    Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more
    often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children. Since
    a girl's brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more. Consequently,
    mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.
    1. While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they _____.
    A. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friends
    B. can both talk and watch the screen at the Same time
    C. think they can have a good time and develop relationships
    D. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands
    2. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order
        to _____.
    A. experience the happy time again
    B. keep a close tie with her
    C. recommend her a new scenic spot
    D. remind her of something forgotten
    3. What does the author want to tell us most?
    A. Women's brains are better organized for language and communication.
    B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.
    C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.
    D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.
    4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
    A. Women Are Socially Trained to Talk
    B. Talking Maintains Relationships
    C. Women Love to Talk 　
    D. Men Talk Differently from Women

    第二部分　阅读理解（共25小题，第一节第小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）

           第一节　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（Ａ、Ｂ、Ｃ、Ｄ）中，选出最佳选项。

    A

    The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated(愤怒的) when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."

    The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."

    The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.

    Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

    In a very real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family members, friends, and God. There is simply no other possession, anyone could hold, more precious than this.

    56．The 3-year-old girl was punished by her father for ________.

    A．wasting gold                    　　B．wasting wrapping paper

    C．putting the box under the Christmas tree  D．bringing the gift to her father

    57．What’s inside the box according to the little girl?

    A．nothing  　　 B．air  　　 C．kisses  　　　       D．gold wrapping paper

    58．The father remembered the love of his daughter by ________.

    A．kissing the gold box            

    B．putting gold into the box.

    C．taking out an imaginary kiss from the box. 　

    D．keeping the little girl’s ash box by his bed.

    59．Choose the best title for the passage.

    A．The kisses in the box.          B．A girl and his father 

    C．A love story                 D．The box under the Christmas tree.

    第一节：阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。                              A
    Endless sea, sand and sunshine on a tiny island--everyone' s idea of heaven. Who wouldn' t want to live in such a place.?
    One person who certainly does is Ben Southall, from the UK. The 34-year-old was one of more　than 34,000 people who applied for the post of "caretaker" on Hamilton Island, Australia, which　the local government called "the best job in the world". The position starts in July and runs for six months. The salary is 150,000 Australian dollars(780,639 yuan).
    Why Southall? Well, first let's take a look at the criteria(标准) for the job: "We're looking for applicants who like to have adventures, have a great love of the outdoors and have good commu-nication skills. "
    On his application video, Southall expressed a love of adventure and included photographs of himself riding an ostrich(鸵鸟 ), running a marathon, diving, and kissing a giraffe. "From the time he was announced in the Top 50, and then the Top 16, Southall did a great job by showing true ex-citement about Queensland," Tourism Minister Peter Lawlor said in a statement.
    "His ideas for how he will make the role his own.., as well as his ability to rise to a challenge impressed the judges and helped him to win his place in the top job," Lawlor said.
    Southall was born in Coventry, UK and used his parents' home as a base for his adventures. He had an old Land Rover that he used for a charity-fund-raising trek(跋涉) across Africa which in-volved joining in five marathons( a 42.16 km race) and climbing five mountains.
    "It was sometimes hard work to make him get his head down and do his work because he always wanted to be outside," his mother said about his early years.
    "He wanted to go surfing in South Africa, so he got a job house-sitting to pay for it. We regu-larly ask him when he is going to get a proper job, but he is confident and has a strong set of friends and is a great social animal. Now he has got the perfect job for his skills," said his father.
    So, you see? No matter what type of person you are, there's always the possibility of getting a dream job. How' s that? Just read the job descriptions carefully and think about how your skills and qualities fit with the ones needed for the job. That' s what Southall did to get his job.

    A. a beautiful landscape                          B. a short working time
    C. great pay for a fun job                          D. very good weather
    42. According to Lawlor, what wasn' t the reason that helped Southall win the job?
    A. His outstanding application video
    B. His passion for the job and ability to face up to challenges
    C. His great love of adventures
    D. His true excitement about the Austrilian lifestyle
    43. Which of the following statements about Southall is true?
    A. He did a poor job in school when he was young.
    B. He worked as a house-sitter to raise charity funds.
